it. jillian: that's a different story. if i'm going in or out of the grocery store or whatever it's fine. thanks for watching. "fox & friends" starts right now. have a good day, everyone. bye-bye. >> violence is being brought to this place and we as a community are concerned. >> they have to shut it down. i don't know what this is now. this is turned into something else now. steve: good evening -- good morning, it is tuesday, june 30th. police calling for occupiers to leave seattle of chop zone or capitol hill organized protest zone or chop after another deadly shooting, ainsley. jillian: that'ainsley. ainsley: that's right, steve. this time a 16-year-old is dead. a 14-year-old is in critical condition. brian? brian: todd piro joins us live as the police chief says she has had enough. we heard that before. todd: that's right, brian, ainsley and steve as well.

good morning to all three of you. another act of violence seattle police chief carmen best says the chop zone needs to end and needs to end immediately. >> enough is enough here. the precinct while important to us what's much more important is that this neighborhood is not under siege and people not being victimized it. is absolutely irresponsible for this to continue. todd: here is what set all this off. witnesses say an suv plowed into the cop free zone early monday morning and started shooting. members of the self-appointed security team then returned fire. the shootout killing a 16-year-old and another teen is in critical condition right now. detectives say the area was tampered with before they got there this latest incident is the fourth shooting and second deadly shooting since taken over by occupiers three weeks ago. echoing the chief's calls to dismantle it? >> i'm sorry this needs to come to an end, period. it's drawing a certain type of

violence there and it needs to be shut down. >> end this. >> mayor jenny durkan says she is working to break up the area efforts to remove concrete barriers were blocked by occupiers last week. occupiers now reportedly looking to move into the abandoned east precinct as part of their efforts to get officials to act on police reform. steve, ainsley, and brian back to you. steve: the police are trying to investigate but the people in the chop zone are not cooperating with them. and when they -- the police have investigated the jeep where the two young men were riding, they're said that apparently somebody had tampered with the evidence. that's the jeep right there. and as you can see the window was blown out. of the question is who started shooting first? the daily mail says that apparently chop security guards who as todd just said are self-appointed and heavily armed starting shooting at the jeep only after the teenagers opened fire on them.

and then drove into that barricade you see right there, ainsley. ainsley: you look at these numbers, that was the fourth shooting in that area or near that area in the past 10 days. june 20th a 19-year-old boy died. that was the one, steve, you said he had just graduated the day before. steve: yeah. ainsley: 33-year-old man was injured on that day. june 21st the next day 17-year-old male was shot. seven days later june 23rd a man in his 30's shot and then we heard about the shooting yesterday, 16-year-old boy, he died and 14-year-old in critical condition. officers mostly have to stay out of this area because the people inside don't each want the police there. and i read this morning that they even have their own police force just -- they have designated who is going to carry guns and who can be in their so-called police force. brian: last thought on this. this is an embarrassment to the country. the world is looking at this and mocking us.

and there for racial justice is one thing. when the people who were there for racial justifiable say they should end this, and you don't end, this and the police chief is almost begging to get on the inside and you say they are preventing you from moving barriers, you are the cops. move the barriers. the mayor should tell the cops to move the barriers. you are the ones in charge. so let's switch to new york city where sadly mayor de blasio is in charge. and he thinks it's a great idea to take a city that has doubled in shootings and doubled in murders and has rampant street unrest if you see what happened in harlem over the weekend and cut a billion dollars out of the budget. i get it, we are overdrawn because there is no revenue come in. i understand that. but the way they are doing this, this is punitive as if to say the cops are the problem. so they are cutting $1 billion out. do you know what they're doing, essentially, they are the telling the 1167 young men and women who have taken the test for the academy or set to go in the academy they are essentially

not coming on board. here is a believe it or not, a proud mayor de blasio. >> my office present to the city council a plan that would achieve a billion dollars in savings for the nypd and shift resources to young people, to communities in a way that would help address a lot of underlying issues that we know are the cause of so many problems in our society. i'm excited to say that we have a plan that can achieve real reform that can achieve real redistribution at the same time ensure that we keep our city safe. we make sure that our officers are on patrol where we need them around this city. brian: a little bit of slight of hand because they are taking some of the money that goes into school safety because that's usually necessary. and they are putting it towards the school budget. i don't know who is going to go in there and be able to keep schools safe.

because evidently that's not a priority these days. and the other thing is, this generic statement on children's youth programs. noble said that they were under financed and what are these programs? we already know about the billion dollars your wife threw in the street that she is unaccountable for. what about the youth programs that are no longer going to the police who have the police athletic league that are usually youth programs, steve? steve: well, here's the thing. what struck me about what mayor de blasio said did you hear him say redistribute -- redistribution of funds. everybody is talking about defunding the police. and it is -- brian, you call it a slight of hand. these are accounting tricks. what they are doing is not -- you know, they are not reducing the head count per se? per in schools now go to the department of education and moving $307 million off the budget in that first year and the school safety agents will move to another agency.

so the same agency there just moving things around. 1100 people you are talking about, they will disappear through attrition. so as people retire and we know that people are retiring left and right, they simply will not be replaced. brian: they are canceled. 1163 are canceled. steve: through attrition. brian: they are not allowed to come on board. steve: the problem is crime is going up. why is that? is it because they are defunding or is it simply because the officers feel like, okay, they want light touch, that's what we're going to give them because we know the bosses don't have our back? the new york city pba president patrick lynch says mayor de blasio wants message to new york today was clear. you will have fewer cops on your street. shootings more than doubled again last week. even right now the new york city police does not have enough staffing to shift cops to one neighborhood without making another less safe. we will say it again: the mayor and the city council have surrendered the city to

lawlessness. things won't improve until new yorkers hold them responsible it. ultimately comes down to the budget, which is supposed to be passed today. it is $87 billion total. and ainsley, the idea is to reduce the police budget by one billion dollars. ainsley: all right. so if you work for a company and they lose a billion dollars and their budget is 6 billion like it is for the police force here in new york, what happens? you have to cut some of those police officers. so this means fewer people on our streets protecting new york city. you just said or the pba president just said crime has gone up. shootings went up double last week compared to the same week a year ago when things felt a lot safer in new york. steve: right. ainsley: people are going to lose their jobs. that money is going to be shifted to young people, whatever that means like you said, brian, we don't have an outline for that this is the largest police force in the country. we have 36,000 uniformed officers. 19,000 civilian members. and you have all this going on

in our country and we are going to have fewer police here to help everyone out that needs to stay safe. here's dan bongino. he says defunding the police is a bad idea and we can't give up. listen. >> we can't lose this fight. we can lose a fight over a regulation people don't like, we will live to night another day. you win an election, you scrap it. we lose this fight over the cops, people are going to die. let me take that back, more people are going to die because people are dying right now. it's not like there is not evidence for this. remember, if you lived in new york, you know, 20 or 30 years ago before broken windows policing, everyone, listen to me, folks, everyone knew someone that had their car broken into, that was mugged on the subway. brian: wow. that's what's going on there they also yesterday, vandals spread red paint on washington square's park iconic arch. good job. that would be nice for the nyu

students to look at if they ever get back to school. 9 minutes before the top of the hour. democrats will be briefed on reports that russia placed bounties on american soldiers. steve: there is no evidence to coosht. ainsley: griff is live in washington as russia responds now. griff: good morning the spokesman is vehemently denying the allegations in pretty clear language. >> this is 100 percent bull [bleep]. it's nondiplomatic thing but it's a bull [bleep]. >> democrats demanding more answers heading to the white house where spokeswoman kayleigh mcenany is pushing back. >> there is no consensus within the intelligence community on these allegations and in effect there are dissendin dissenting s with some in the intelligence community with regards to the veracity of what is being reported and veracity of the

underlying allegations continue to be evaluated. >> chuck schumer turning up the heat on the president. >> president trump, you lose either way. if you weren't briefed on this important report, how can you run an administration where something this important is not brought to your level? and if you were told about the report and did nothing, that's even worse. shame on you. shame on you. griff: now this comes as the president wants national security advisor robert o'brien raises concerns in a statement saying to these government officials, who betray the trust of the people of the united states by leaking classified information, your actions endanger our national security. no matter the motivation, there is never a reasonable for such conduct. >> the director of national intelligence john ratcliffe also pushing back saying simply put the leaks are a crime. noting they are still investigating the alleged intelligence which the a.p. is reporting this morning that top

officials were aware of them as early as 2019 but noted those officials did not consider the assessment particularly urgent given russian meddling in afghanistan is not a new occurrence. more on this, i am sure, as the day goes on. brian: interesting. republicans were in yesterday. officials provided a written briefing to the president in late february. we will see if it got to his desk. michael waltz who fights wars as well as fights for those though are fighting the wars still in the national guard, got the briefing said. this. >> we have known for years that the russians have been supporting the taliban through arms, through weapons. through other means. it really smacks of partisan talking points of hearing russia and the president and trying to make hay of that in an election year. i served in the bush white house for vice president cheney before something gets to the

president's desk, there will be a policy process. you have to make sure that something is vetted and verified. often intelligence agencies don't fully agree or want to check themselves and that's just proper due diligence on behalf of the president's national security staff. brian: this is playing politics with intelligence. do you know what the key is here? we cannot pull totally out of afghanistan. we will turn over the country to russia and the minerals to china. that will be a huge mistake, ainsley. that's what we should be getting from. this. ainsley: michael waltz went on to say we have known for years russia has supported the taliban through arms. the iranians have supported the taliban cash equipment and training some of their soldiers were found with weapons from iran. so have the pakistaniys. this is not anything new. the point here is if it is not verified by our 16 intelligence agencies, that's their job, that's what they do it doesn't get to the president's desk. >> the president has to make

decisions based on intel that's in front of him. if he is not briefed on it then he doesn't know about it. this if he is briefed on it, then he can act on it. that's the danger here, steve, it's to the true and then the president acts and then that causes a lot of trouble. we want to be safe here. steve: according to the "new york times" it was in his presidential daily briefing on february 27th. ainsley: but all presidents don't read all of their briefings. steve: a guy comes in and essentially tells the president what is in it. it might have been printed in it, it doesn't mean that he actually heard about it. you have got to figure if the president heard that was going on, he would have done something about it. all right. more on this a little later on. in the meantime jillian joins us with headlines out of arizona. jillian: at least 15 states are pausing reopening plans amid a surge in coronavirus cases and hospitalizations. doug ducey shutting down gyms, water parks, movie theaters and

steve: jacksonville, florida, issuing mandatory face mask in public for the convention in august. demand the mayor rethink the convention all together. allowing this number of people to dessend on jacksonville is unequivocally provocative of disease predictably harmful and medically disrespectful to the citizens of this city. here to react rnc chairwoman ronna mcdaniel. ronna, good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: i know you shifted from charlotte down to florida thinking that things were more wide open and things were better but now with these spikes and now with this mandatory mask requirement, how have your plans changed in the last 24 hours? >> well, the difference with charlotte is the governor would give us no guidance. so we kept continually coming to him and saying we will test people. we will do this and that, and he said i'm not going to give you

any guidance. and in florida, it's not about politics, it's about health and safety and how do we do this event? we're going to test everybody. we're going to have temperature checks. we are going to sanitize. we can do this in a safe way and not let politics get in the way, which unfortunately, which is what was happening in north carolina. steve: even the act of wearing a mask has become political to some people. i know down in jacksonville the city officials have not decided whether or not to mandate masks during the convention because we don't know what the conditions are going to be regarding covid at that point. but, you will allow people to wear masks in the convention if they want to wear one, won't you? >> yeah. we're going to provide pppe. we are going to look listen to the local authorities and make sure this is a safe and healthy convention. we will abide by what the mayor and governor are saying. the differences in florida they want to make it happen. they will understand we can do things in a healthy and safe way working together. and, unfortunately, north

carolina governor cooper wouldn't work with us at all. wouldn't give us guidelines and it just wouldn't have been fair to fly thousands of people into a city where at that point only 10 people were allowed in to any given building. so we had to start moving forward and making plans and working hand in hand with the officials in florida, which isn't what we were getting from just the governor in north carolina. everybody else we were dealing with was great. steve: what i'm hearing from my friends in new jersey and where i'm sitting where we have to wear a mask all the time. i wish the president would put on a mask every once in a while because it would make him look as if he is taking it seriously and is listening to the cdc. because they have made it very clear and i know he is tested all the time. but the masks work. >> well, the president has worn a mask. and the president obviously is taking this incredibly seriously. we are at a place where testing

at a massive rate every day. never needed an american who needed a ventilator go without one. we are not talking about ppe. that's because of the president's fast action to bring in the private sector and put us in this place. remember, he is the one who said early on we need to stop travel from china to give us a chance to flatten the curve in this country and prepare for this unprecedented pandemic that's hit our country and he is continuing to lead us through this yifs. steve: i understand that. more states every day are mandating people, their citizens to wear masks and i think that if the president wore one, it would just set a good example. he would be a good role model. i don't see any downside to the president wearing a mask in public. >> he has done that and i know the president is concerned with every single american right now. that's his first priority is the health and safety of this country but also balancing that with starting our economy. you have a lot of people who are

conflating it's one white house choice or the other. we can't go to work. we can't start this economy because of coronavirus. but i think there is a way to marry the two and the president is figuring out that balancing act of you who do we get americans work hog are worried about their wages and whether or not they can have an income and how do we do that in a safe and healthy way. that's what the president and vice president have done leading this coronavirus effort. steve: i think by wearing a mask can you keep the economy open and closing things. the last thing anybody wants to do. maga should stand for masks are great again. levering give you marketing. >> okay i will take that under consideration. steve: please do. thanks very much for dropping by on this tuesday morning. >> thanks, steve. steve: you bet. all right. 6:26 now here in new york city. kamala harris bringing in celebrity djs to raise money for joe biden. but didn't democrats try that

funds for his campaign. did holiday really help the party the last time around? >> go out and vote for hillary clinton. >> i'm with her. >> i'm with her. >> i'm with her because she is the most qualified person to hear all of our needs. >> i would like to introduce to you the next president of the united states is hillary clinton. >> here to react is "new york post" columnist miranda devine. how are you miranda. >> i'm good. how are you? ainsley: i'm good. do you think this will work. >> look, it didn't work last time. there is absolutely no reason it will work now. i'm with her make no difference to people they didn't vote for hillary clinton. i think it's already baked in that left leaning people belong in hollywood and the celebrity world. so, it's not really a surprise last time donald trump, i think he had a couple of guys from "duck dynasty" and real housewives supporting him answered still won. i think the interesting thing about kamala harris though is the fact that she is coming out

to showcase her wares just as she is becoming the favorite as the vice presidential pick for joe biden. >> now, last time when hillary, when she was running, everyone kept saying well, that's holiday, they arhollywood; the n very wealthy but built his empire and he said i'm the blue collar billionaire, basically and it attracted a lot of people. it was a change. what do you think about the climate now and how that will effect the election? >> look, definitely because of, you know, the george floyd protest, the fact that race front and center and the fact that president trump just quietly has been woulding the black vote and doing quite well, and so, i think that's been a real shock for the democrats, they are desperately trying to hold on to their monopoly on the

black vote. joe biden made that almighty gaffe early on when he told radio talk show host, a black talk show host if you vote for trump then you ain't black. so i think that was a real gaffe and was plague played down by te campaign. since joe biden already said is he going it choose a woman as his running mate now he is under pressure to choose a many off with color and kamala harris. ainsley: who do you think this will be? >> i think kamala harris. as you see with d.j. promotion she is doing, she is trying to inject some cool into the campaign. and she is, after all, a good friend of president obama. and he will be the sort of silent force behind the throne of joe biden. ainsley: if she wants that position she is smart to do this to raise money for joe biden and get those celebrities behind her. thanks some, miranda. thanks for being with us. >> thanks, ainsley. ainsley: you are welcome. 33 minutes after the top of the

hour. the supreme court handing down several major rulings including chief justice john roberts siding with liberals to strike down louisiana's abortion law. judge napolitano is here for the impact on that decision.

i know so many americans are suffering, suffering the loss of a loved one, suffering economic hardship. the country is crying out for leadership, leadership that can unite us, leadership that brings us together. that's what the presidency is - the duty to care,

to care for all of us, not just those who vote for us, but all of us. i promise you this: i won't traffic in fear and division. i won't fan the flames of hate. i'll seek to heal the racial wounds that have long plagued our country, not use them for political gain. i'll do my job and i will take responsibility, i won't blame others. you know, i've said from the outset of this election, that we're in the battle for the soul of this nation. what we believe and maybe most importantly, who we want to be, it's all at stake. when we stand together, finally as one america, we'll rise stronger than we were before. i'm joe biden and i approve this message.

steve: a number of make rulings from the supreme court chief justice john roberts siding with liberals against louisiana's strict abortion law. ainsley: and that's not all. the court also ordering changes at the consumer financial protection bureau while declining to hear a case challenging president trump's border wall. brian: here to break it all down is fox news senior journalist worked overtime yesterday i saw his time sheet. judge, you are going to make a lot of money. judge, first off, what's your take on the border wall? is that a surprise?

>> good morning, guys, we have another day coming with the supreme court opinions coming around 10:00 this morning. the border wall to me was not a surprise. i think it's going to be built. it's already being built and the court probably views this as a political question. meaning if you don't think the border wall should be built vote against president trump and if you like the border wall reelect him. they don't want to get involved in the issue of you who money is spent. they keep rejecting arguments on the border wall and whether you like it or not, it's a forgone conclusion it's there. and as long as donald trump is president it's going to keep growing. steve: let's talk a little bit about the story that got the most headlines yesterday the louisiana abortion case. justice roberts sided with the liberals on the court but it shouldn't surprise anyone because the louisiana law was almost word for word like a 2016 law which he dissented on. >> this is a heartbreaker,

steve, for the pro-life cause of which i count myself among. the louisiana law basically said all abortion providers in louisiana physicians, must have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 minutes of the venue in which they perform the abortion. the theory was if the abortion went wrong, a baby's life could be saved or the mother's life was jeopardized, the physician could assist in doing that at a hospital nearby. when texas had such statute about six years ago, supreme court invalidated it and john roberts assented. he felt it was constitutional. yesterday when he voted in favor of invalidating the louisiana statute, he recognized that he had once voted in favor of an identical statute this time saying we have to follow the

court's lead because the court has already ruled on this. he made a choice of stare decisis, let the thing stand. we already ruled on this not going to rule on it again. he made a choice for that over the independence of the states to address to address health and safety during abortions. this is very interesting. it tells the democrats that they are within one vote of the wearing on the court of the wearing and nibbling away of roe v. wade which they feared. and it tells the republicans that john roberts cannot be counted on in the crunch. ainsley: does this mean now you can get an abortion in louisiana from a doctor that is not within 30 mention of an operating room if something goes wrong? >> yes. yes. the statute was actually never put into place. i mean, it was enacted by the legislature, signed by the governor, but the courts held up enforcement of it until the

supreme court ruled. so, it's gone as of 10:00 yesterday morning. brian: judge, 20 seconds, today we will find out if the supreme court is going to allow anyone to see the president's taxes? i think we are going to find out about that his taxes, his financial records and also find out if somebody from the electoral college is sent from your state to vote, if they have to vote the way they promised they would or if they can exercise their independent judgment and vote for the other candidate. i believe those opinions will be coming down in a couple of hours, brian. steve: that means you are going to be working all day, judge, thank you very much. >> go get richer. steve: go put on a necktie, daytime has standards. >> brian, stop looking at my time sheets. brian: governor murphy will decide whether or not you wear a tie or not. he decides everything else.

>> governor murphy kind inside a restaurant last night and yesterday said restaurants cannot have inside dining. brian: i know. sorry to get you going. steve: judge, thanks very much. ainsley: thanks, judge. steve: is he allage stated. jillian joins us. good morning. jillian: good morning. the golden state killer facing justice nearly 50 years after his reign of terror began. >> murder in the first degree, how do you plead? >> guilty. guilty. i admit. >> joseph d'angelo pleading guilty to if yo murdering and kidnapping charges and admitting to dozens more crimes in california in the 1970s and 198 0z. victims and families were present at the makeshift socially distanced courtroom. prosecutors say it was long overdue. >> that's where i saw the devil today. anybody who can do what he did over and over and over and seemed to relish it over and

over and over is the devil. >> d'angelo is set to be sentenced to life in prison in august. a 72-year-old woman rushed to the hospital after she was gored by a bison at yellow stone national park. she was trying to take photos of the massive animal and got within 10 feet of it multiple times according to officials. visitors recommended to stay 25 feet away from the bison. the woman who wasn't named had multiple injuries. her condition unknown. seen pointing guns at protesters in the street are defending their actions. we were in fear of our lives. their attorney says they received death threats from the st. louis crowd and protesters broke a gate to their private street. the couple says they support peaceful protest and were protecting themselves from potential violence. what does the world need right now? how about a little more of this?

they became greater after 1919. did i save myself on that. ainsley: so important to vote. brian: i can't believe it took that long to vote. steve: if you don't have fox nation yet you should try it. only a buck first month. not a bad deal. ainsley: tom brian said it's free for only 9 cents. steve: that's exactly right. >> i don't think do ronco commercials either. steve: woodrow wilson's name the president dropped at one university. now there is a push to remove john wayne's name from the airport in newport beach. jack brewer says this is the time to learn from our past not erase it. jack's on deck next. know what? i'm gonna switch now. just need my desk...

my chair... and my phone. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

brian: is our history under attack. democrats demanding an airport named after john wayne the actor be changed. princeton dropping woodrow wilson's name from policy school. where do we draw the line? jack brewer advisory member black voices for trump. both of these men have questionable incident when it comes to john wayne and for wilson he resegregated to the

civil service. where do you stand? >> you know, it's an interesting time. you know, you talk about woodrow wilson and his policies and you have a democratic nominee joe biden who is also passed segregationist policies. so cancel culture going to cancel him as well? we have to ask each other that question. too much tit-for-tat. missing out on a huge opportunity in this nation to have a conversation on race, to go back and try to heal some of the hurt and the pain that people are feeling around these racial issues that is really stimulating them to go out and destroy property and monuments, listen, i do not like seeing confederate leaders and seeing racist up in front of our parks, and monuments around our country, but there is a way to do that. we have a constitution that allows us to vote these things

out in doing it the proper way. whenever you start putting people in harm's way, you have seen folks get hurt around. this whenever you see people vandalize and committing crime, that's never good. that's never the answer. that's the way solve things through destroying. brian: find any statue i will find something about them be offensive to somebody. wilson here is the statement from princeton after all these years they said something has got to go. consequential by the standards of his own time. segregated the civil service integrated for decades. taking america backwards in pursuit of justice. not only acquiesced but added to the persistent practice of racism in this country, a practice that continues to do harm today. he tried to create a league of nations precursor to the united nations. for john wayne he had one interview in 1917 where he said

something offensive. i believe in white supremacies until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. i don't believe in giving positions of authority and judgment to irresponsible people. son who knew him judged everyone as an individual and believed everyone deserved equal opportunity. worked fort for all creed and orientations. is he u.s.a. student and football player a monster -- a big personality in orange county. your thought? >> you know what? i don't like racism. racism pairs us and divides us. but we all have to look within ourselves and be honest with ourselveourselves have we ever n racist? have we ever thought and looked at one who was a different color than you are, has, you know, a different social class than you and treated them differently? most of us have to be real. i know i have said things that i regret. i repented for. i think that's what we need to get to in this nation. we have got t to back to

repentance. missing the opportunity and taking our eye offer the prize. this is a spiritual battle. when folks are removing the fear of god. removing the bible from the way that we view things and from our perspective, it leads us to this where we are pointing and shaming folks and pretending as if we are all perfect. we are imperfect people. we are an imperfect nation. steve. brian: i hear you. jack brewer always great to get your perspective. god bles>> god bless you. brian: i know our bookers we booked more than just two people. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

ainsley: we start this hour with a live look in new york city where in just a few hours the city council is going to vote on mayor bill de blasio's budget proposal which cuts $1 billion from the nypd, brian. brian: a lot of people spent the night in the street because of that their occupy movement. protesters have been camped out there for nearly a week demanding the cuts. hundreds, actually. the police union slamming the mayor and the council saying it will make the city less safe. do you think so? >> meanwhile on the other side of america in california overnight. l.a. county approved a plan to slash $145 million from the sheriff's department budget and the sheriff understandably furious.

>> we're cutting into the bone of major activities that keeps the community safe. i'm going it stand up for victims of crime. even if no one else does. brian: the sheriff saying he have to lay off nearly 350 employees due to the cuts. this is a sheriff's department has been stretched if you have seen the unrest. hundreds -- dozens of cities in california have been protesting and they got violent. in fact, the l.a. task force is looking to arrest the looters. they are going through the video and find out who hit what stores, especially in the row derode deodrive i can't understy are going through investigate. they are to take $143 million off an already tanked system to please the people that were destroying the city is nuts. steve: take a look at some of the proposed cuts to the department out there. cut the states street bureau which is gang enforcement. right they don't need that.

brian: gangs gone now. >> parks bureau. they don't need that special victims bureau they will cut community partnership bureau. cops team. brian: they are the worst. >> fraud and cyber crimes bureau and major crimes bureau. brian: fantastic. steve: i'm being funny. they need all those things. and when you look at the anger expressed by the sheriff, it's very clear that he is furious. he said yesterday every single move on these budget cuts is taking away vital law enforcement services that is going to hurt people. i guess on the bright side if i'm going to be sarcastic spared the homicide bureau. if you are dead you are all right. if you north dead well too bad, ainsley. >> yeah. so if you read that list -- if you look at that list that steve just read, one of those items that they want to cut is the special victims bureau. do you know what they do? they go out and investigate if there is sexual or physical abuse of children. when there is rape. when there is human trafficking. so, this ceo by the way, los

angeles county has a ceo. her name is hami manages the day-to-day operation oversees the budget of $36.1 billion. she wants to cut 145.4 million that's allocated to the police department. there is six units that will be cut and steve read you that list. and the sheriff, he also says this. he said now is not the time. we need law enforcement more than ever. violent crime is going up. prisons had to let out 5,000 inmates because of corona the streets aren't any safer his argument is they are getting worse. brian: robert harris police protective unit told another network the los angeles feels beaten and bruised by the ongoing protest that was corroborated by breitbart a little later on within the lapd. they said quote morale across the rank and file who are the most important is at record low. especially out in the street on patrol. we have been vilified and

abandoned by the mayor, all but three of the city council members as well as many of the business owner and residents of the city of los angeles. and if they have a problem, guess who they are going to call? 911. and more than likely the lapsd will answer because that's their job. ainsley: scary times. who exactly when they called 911 in st. louis over the weekend? who arrived did you see those images. these images have been seen $10 million. of a saints lewis lawyer and his lawyer wife. there they are, as can you see he has got a rifle, she has a handgun and the story as it was going viral is can you believe these people in front of their fantastic house. look at that house right there. as peaceful protesters were walking by, they got out those firearms that was the story. now we know apparently the protesters broken broke an iron

gate. they went on to a street was that private property. so they vandalized and there you can see the gate right there, and they broke the law. and the homeowner who is also a lawyer has been for 30 years, mcclow ski he feared for his life. that's why they went into the house and got guns. listen. >> somebody forced the gate the first three or four people came in and i stood up and announced loudly this is private property. please go back. leave. as soon as i said the words private property it enraged the crowd. there was then a hoard of people coming through the broken gate. like the storming of the bastille. the gate came down and a large crowd, very angry shouting aggressive people poured through. i was terrified that we would be murdered within seconds. that our house would be burned down. that our pets would be killed.

ainsley: these are two civil rights attorneys. they know the law. they know their rights. those guns were legal. they even had said that they support black lives matter movement. they said race was not a factor at all because there are a lot of critics. there are a lot of haters out there furious what they did and their reaction. but this family, they were outside eating dinner. they worked extremely hard for what they have. put themselves through law school. built up that house, i heard yesterday that it took a long time that they finally renovated that house and built it to where they wanted to raise their kids and have a beautiful home for them. they received death threats. these guys walk on to your property. he said one man, he said, had two pistol magazines clicked them together and said you're next. so, also told them they are going to burn his house down as you heard him say and kill his dog and later he said pets. i don't know how many animals he thought he was going to be

murdered. went inside and got legal guns didn't fire and said get off my property. brian: i think you are allowed to. ainsley: they are. brian: victims were on property heard a loud commotion. when victims went to investigate the commotion, they ociousd a large group of subjects forcefully break an iron grate with no trespassing told them to leave the group began yelling obscenities and threats to both victims. when the victims oxd multiple subjects who were armed they then armed themselves and contacted police. the investigation is ongoing. now, it's amazing the way the other networks covered. this by the way they will be on with tucker tonight if i understand correctly. so we will see that couple tonight at 8:00 eastern time. the abc and nbc reported this differently. they say peaceful protesters and this were peaceful protesters kicking off the segment on nbc according to news buster lester

holt decried president trump's retweeting of the video showing the couple this evening new firestorm president trump retweeted inflammatory video made during a protest in st. louis. it's noteworthy i wouldn't say inflammatory. it's noteworthy that if the cops aren't going to come, it's emblematic what the future might look like. fft cops are defunded. if they are told to stand back, we are going to be on our own. that's why one town away from me over the last three weeks there has been a line around the block at the gun store. people feel like they're on their own. judging by the reports i have gone over today i don't know if i have a push back. steve: listen to these attorneys who are personal injury attorneys they said we weren't even going to come out in the beginning because we thought it was peaceful. but then, you know, there was all that motion. we have got a statement from their attorney al watkins who says at the time their fear was these people, two in particular, that were marching along with

the bleargts protest participants all peaceful. they were acting in a fashion inconsistent with the message being given. my client's were not arming themselves against peaceful protesters. they were arming themselves about people with a really bad motive. a motive that runs afoul of the fundamental tenets of our country. so, just imagine you are in their shoes and you see this happen and somebody breaks down a gate and 100 people are starting to stream by your house and going down the street to the mayor's house but nonetheless, it was private property there was vandalism. would you go get your gun? ainsley: a lot of people are anti-gun. and they probably feel that way. the other networks are reporting. but the people who are standing in line around the block, at that gun store, they would do the exact same thing. it's now 7:09 on the east coast. excuse me. in just a few hours, select democrats will be brevard on reports that russia placed

bounties on american soldiers. brian: this as the pentagon says there is no corroborating evidence to back up those reports that happened overnight. steve: jillian turner is live near the white house as russia responds. okay. talk, about jil gillian. >> there is a bit of a scramble to coordinate on russia bounty intelligence. top lawmakers now both sides of the aisle are demanding to know was the president briefed on this or not? no word yet from key administration officials with a definitive answer after reports broke overnight that key intelligence officers have come forward and said they did brief the president in write in his presidential daily brief months ago. now today as you mentioned top democrats will get briefed by the white house a day after the white house gave a preview to republicans yesterday the white house press secretary repeated this response multiple times in response to our questioning.

>> >> -- democrat run new york city 61 people were shot in democrat run chicago and 15 fatally killed. we were supposed to hear kayleigh mcenany there is no consensus in the intelligence community on these allegations. chuck schumer says that is just an excuse. take a listen. >> president trump, you lose either way. if you weren't briefed on this important reports, how can you run an administration where something this important is not brought to your level? if you were told about the report and did nothing about it shame on you. >> president trump's national security team is now insisting,

quote: to these government officials who betrayed the trust of the people of the united states by leaking classified information. your actions endanger our national security. no matter the motivation, there is never a reason for such conduct. now, these claims from the national security advisor were reiterated yesterday by cia gina haspel by the direct of national intelligence john ratcliffe. none of the three has yet to clarify whether or not president trump was briefed in writing several months back opt russia banbounty.will up ainsley thanko much, gillian. they get so much information. that's why we have 16 intelligence agencies. they get so much information about other countries and what they are trying to do. they put it all together. they slave it. -- they verify it. they give it to the vice president and president. rick glenn said he wasn't aware

of it. it didn't get up to that level. the president said he was not briefed on this whether or not it was in the briefing book, we don't know yet. some are saying it is, some are saying it isn't. many have said that all -- the presidents don't have time to read the entire book and that's why they have people that do it for them and let them know what stories they need to be aware of. brian: as much as it seems fool hearty for the russians to that i can this risk. not surprising that they trying to upend in one shape or form in afghanistan. they don't like the fact that we have much success in that region than they ever had and left in humiliation. ultimately to the fall of the softd empire. i wish one person didn't lose their lives in afghanistan. we lost 10 in 2018, 16 in 2019 and two this year. i don't know if the checks aren't clearing but they are certainly not resulting in huge american numbers. number three is keep in mind when we leave the way the president has us leaving now, china comes and gets the

minerals, which we have been able to excavate and work with the afghans because it's their stuff. china doesn't care about that. they will just work out some bad deal and take it. and the russians will start having influence in that area. we lose that periscope that allows us to keep an eye on iran, pakistan and everything else. that's a big risk. steve: that would be looking forward. apparently the concern is that this up bowngty program could have resulted in a car bombing, apparently that happened in april of 2019 that killed three marines question is was that somehow connected? tim we simply do not know. all right. it is about 7:15 here in the new york city area and jillian joins us from the mezzanine level and she is going to talk about a little bit about oklahoma. jillian: that's right. oklahoma community holds a prayer i have jim foprayer vigis stopped during a traffic stop. >> we want our officers to know

we are backing them. they put their lives on the line every single day. every shift that they come out. we want them to know that we love and support them. both in critical condition. they pulled over 32-year-old david anthony ware for expired tags on his car. that's when the police say a confrontation started. ware reached for a gun and fired multiple time at the officers. he and an accomplice were arrested hours later. a judge threatening to move the trial of the former minneapolis police officers charged in george floyd's death. all four officers appearing at the same hearing. a judge setting a trial date for march 2021 he warned of a gang. one of the officers jay alexander plans to plead not guilty. will california utah. several key races to watch.

politics and health and safety how how do we do this event in we're going to test everybody. we are going to have temperature checks and sanitize we can do this in a safe way and not let politics get in the way which unfortunately is what was happening in north carolina. brian: urging the mayor to rethink plans for the august convention. here to react is fox news medical contributor dr. marc siegel. dr. siegel as of right now, have you got to wear a mask even indoors in jacksonville. do you think we should project forward way at the middle of august, too? >> no, brian, we can't project forward we don't know what's going done in two months. jacksonville is not an area of florida which is a hot spot right now. there is under 5,000 cases total in that county since the beginning of this. we have to differentiate counties. not just states. and we also have to figure out the difference between the politics of fear here and the politics of recovery. because there is two issues

going on and we have to send the right message. it depends where we are at the end of august. yes to masks, yes to hand sanitizerrers. yes to physical distancing. those are physical concepts that have to be put in place. i actually agree with what steve said before. let the president of the united states wear a mask that says make america great again on it by the way to show something it's a symbol. steve is right about that. , brian. but masks don't work as well as people are touting them. it's the physical distancing that works. brian: right. but the president gets tested every day that's why it's a little bit different. >> of course. brian: after the american academy of pediatrics made that statement the goal for kids is get them back in school in the fall, doctor, you think the colleges should take a page from the kids and those young adults should go back to school, too. >> i think that's extremely important. i think, brian, it's been left out of the whole conversation here. the colleges are all over the map on this. harvard is saying well, maybe we

will stay online with outline our courses or maybe let 40% of the people back. you know, and meanwhile, duke, and notre dame are saying we are going back early. they are starting in early august and they are going to be done by the end of november by thanksgiving. just in case there is another outbreak. that's extremely thoughtful. brown university where my daughter goes and i went, by the way, is also having issues trying to figure out how to do. this and they are saying maybe we will have a trisemester. we will go all year long. i can tell you a lot of students are not happy about that. brian, colleges is an experience where you are there. brian: i know. >> as you just said regarding the rnc, we can test people. we can test faculty, we can test students. we can take people if they are sick and put them aside. let's face this, this is more of a legal issue, isn't it? medically from a public health point of view with young people getting very mild cases most of all, this is a really safe idea. it's very unhealthy to close

universities. they need to be open in the fall. brian: go back to college in a second. real quick i went over the gaumegrammarschool too quickly. they are not sitting on a laptop. they are essentially out of learning for a year. they have to go back. socialization as well as learning. there is reason why teachers go to school. that's an -- they have an expertise, correct? >> that's extremely important what you just said. there is no way that a 5-year-old is going to learn properly online. socioeconomic disadvantaged don't have access to online learning. disadvantaging further have. to have this go on. >> the experience of learning is a face-to-face experience. online learning can be an adjunct. it's useful but not crucial and central. the younger the child is the more important this is the more fractured they get from the essential learning experience the more post-traumatic stress

we are going to sees a a result. brian: we have college students watching right now. can we see that chart roughly what the nation is doing in terms for the fall? in person school, 61% will do it in person like duke. 19% will do a hybrid model, 8% will stay online. i don't know if i'm writing the check for tuition if i'm going to sit home and do it online and 6% considering different scenarios, 4.1% undecided. other thing people are going to open up. the university is going to go out of business without getting that tuition for an entire year. my thing is, you are a business. make it work. talk to doctors, there are experts out there like you that will go ahead and help these universities out. >> brian, absolutely. all of the colleges and universities across the country have to open even in hot spots. we have to test people and be smart about it. we have to do physical distancing. we should wear masks in close quarters. i have a message for brown university. brian: real quick. >> don't send my daughter a computer with ivy on it.

i don't want an ivy covered computer next year. i want the ivy league to actually be going on in person the way it always has. traditions matter. brown, take the lead. get the colleges back in the fall. 100 percent of them across the country. brian: you could have done that on face time but i will be your conduit. send your message effectively. make it work. dr. siegel, thanks so much. coming up straight ahead. the nypd seeing a surge in retirement as the city prepares cut its budget by billions. pete from the commission of civil rights says its harder than ever to be a cop. he joins us live. wouldn't it be nice

if there was a place that kept you... vibrant outdoorsy mischevious restored zen sparkly cheeky... ( clears throat) disciplined dapper prepped smart hopeful brave

looks of it they will get their wish later on today. our camera captured a man in handcuffs just before 6:00 this morning about three hours before that another man 18-year-old from brooklyn arrested for spray painting a statue in this vicinity. yes, things did get tense, but all tolled, everything by and large remained peaceful. the movement to defund police gained traction all across the country and specifically in new york after george floyd's death but this comes as shootings are sharply up in the city and the police union here has slammed both the mayor and the council for cutting so much money from the police budget at a time when the need appears to be so great. again, council set to vote later on this morning at 10:00 remotely. also keep in mind, separate from this police issue the city faces a huge fiscal crisis and the mayor is warnings 22,000 people could be laid off come this

fall. ainsley? a lot, thank you, robert. steve: for reaction to that peter kirsanow from the u.s. commission on civil rights and, peter, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. steve: if we could just put that graphic unjust for another second. talking about look at the number of police officers who have decided to retire after the death of george floyd. 272 officers. that is 50% mother than last year. if you were wearing blue, could you understand, peter? >> we have seen this movie before ferguson effect because of the leveled against cops and dissent decrees tying their hands. transcends your garden variety stupidity and responsibility and stance to veer toward insanity and almost criminal negligence.

we have -- it's almost tantamount to say defunding hospital's icu in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic after ferguson we had police withdraw from active policing again for some reasons due to political program and also because of consent decrees and we saw significant spike in crime after a 30 year decline in overall crimes. spike was not 1% or 2% that you might see on a year-to-year basis in my hometown in cleveland 90% spike of homicide in fifth large united states decrease in violent crime. the people going to be affected by this are not the theater arts majors who scrambling back to the suburbs after a fun night of protesting and virtue signaling. it's going to be the people in black neighborhoods. we have the data on this. you can almost predict to a decimal point how many more people are going to die. we have already seen significant increases in violent crime in

chicago, new york, l.a. people get killed. and if black lives matter you want to fund the cops to make sure the hundreds more, it will be hundreds more blacks are going to be killed because of this. it's predictable. we have seen it several times before. it's going to happen again. steve: peter, it sounds like what they are going to be doing here in new york city, if this budget, you know, the little reports that have leaked out through the press happens later today where they cut a billion dollars. accounting tricks but 1100 officers would be eliminated through attrition eventually. to say your point about spending more money on the police. people are talking about up on capitol hill and elsewhere where have you got to make sure that the police officers know what is correct, what is protocol, what is standard. in other words, more training. that costs money. everybody wants to make sure that the cops know what they're doing. we don't want bad cops or cops that simply do a bad job. that costs money.

but we're going the other direction. >> yeah. historically, one of the first things that are going to be cut is training. the things that are -- the subject that all these pieces of legislation and ordinances. when you have that there are going to be more protests. there is no doubt about this. there is going to be more protests, more public -- we will see the same type of thing we saw in atlanta, in chicago. because no one wants to be the next darren wilson or gator rolfe or anything like that and there is going to be withdraw. that is going to harm herb overall. remember who theist politicians are it's important to remember who they are and hold them accountable for the criminal intelligence. people are going to die. you will will be able to quantify it. if the media is going to be responsible about this they should make sure that they quantify and hold these individuals responsible. steve: let's see if that happens. peter, exit question. obviously this got started with the death of george floyd. but, since then it, has been, you know, it has become

something else over the last couple of weeks. how much has the fact that it's an election year amplified or changed this discussion? >> yeah, well the question answers itself. this is less about black lives right now as opposed to a narrative that's being driven to shield, look it, all of these cities where this is occurring has been for at least 50 years had uninterrupted democratic rule. they don't want to be held accountable, responsible for that they don't want people to see what's happening there if they talk about systemic racism these folks have been operating the systems in chicago for 90 years uninterrupted. in detroit for 65 years unintlunted. clearly this has a political component to it. they think they get political leverage off of this. do not allow them to do so. steve: peter kirsanow joining us from cleveland today. thank you. >> thank you. steve: meanwhile, speaking of politics, joe biden says if

that doesn't it come down to what's important to you? if you own a company, you are in trouble if biden wins because he says he wants to raise the corporate tax cut to 28% under president trump it used to be 38% but he lowered it to 25%. blue states taxes so high it's actually going to help those folks if he does cut those or he does change the tax cuts that president trump implemented. >> the last thing our country needs right now is higher taxes. a vote for joe biden is exactly what would happen. is he going to raise our taxes which would inflict more pain and more hardship on american workers. a vote for joe biden, nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, and socialists like aoc is the very last thing that we need to do to help rebuild our economy and help workers who need it the very most at this point in time. donald trump has rebuilt our economy once and he should be trusted to do it again.

brian: sarah, here is the reality of it and i know it's easy to say the polls were wrong last time. but when you have 8 or 9 polls that say the same thing. you have to take note if you are inside the trump team like you. they roughly have almost the entire republican vote, you guys have. 36%. you need to add 10 points in order to win that where is the strategies to widen the the attractiveness of your campaign to get independents. right now joe biden has the incidents on average by about 10 points. you had the independents last time. what is the plan to widen the base? >> you know, i think it's real simple there are a couple things. number one the economy still reigns king. no one should be better and more equipped to handle rebuilding the economy than somebody who has already done it like president trump. also, you have three big voting blocks. seniors, women, and these two

along with evangelicals are places where the president should do very well. let's not forget donald trump is still the ultimate outsider, the disrupter, the change agent going up against the ultimate washington insider. joe biden is a liberal career politician who has been part of the problem for the last 50 years. donald trump has only been there for three years and already managed to do a tremendous amount of good. a vote for joe biden is a vote for free healthcare for illegal immigrants. it's a vote against good judges. it's a vote against protecting the unborn. these are things that donald trump needs to remind voters of. make that contrast and i think he dual extremely well with those three key voting blocks that he needs to win. let's go back to the basics for donald trump change agent, disrupter, outsider. that is a winning message for this president. and i think if he stays focused on it he is going to do extremely well in november.

steve: speaking of disruptedder. the disrupter in 2020 is covid. when you looked the president was way ahead. he was going to win that argument. i have heard surrogates for joe biden and the democrats in general on television over about the last week and every question regardless of what is about, they bring it back to covid. and the administration's response to it. is that not the real challenge of the administration to figure out the good answers because by november 3rd, you know, we are already over 125,000 americans have died from it. and that is a number that is heart breaking and when they say look, he didn't do enough, and he goes through the list of things he did, we know this is going to be their big issue. >> i think if donald trump hadn't been president that number could have been much higher and could have been much worse. thankfully the president took

some early steps like stopping travel, which a lot of democrats criticized him for. one of the other things that donald trump did that i think was truly remarkable that he gets no credit for is that he got government out of the way. he allowed american companies to step up, american ingenuity to take over when we needed supplies and resources. he cut the red tape and let americans do what they do best. he passed a lot of the decision-making down to state and local governments who were closest to the problem. he did exactly what the federal government should have done. i think it has been completely missed and they are not getting enough credit for allowing individual states and municipalities and cities to make those decisions for the people in their community. in some cases, that's worked extremely well. in other cases i think we need to hold some of those individuals that made those decisions responsible for not taking the best course of action they could have for the citizens in their community.

brian: i don't know if you have noticed or watching the show, we have been talking about the chaos that's happening in our cities, los angeles cuts $143 million from the budget. not a word from joe biden billion dollars coming out of the budget. minneapolis has peace officers. joe biden says is he not for defunding the police. but is that enough? >> not at all. we are a country of law and order and we have to reestablish law and order. no one can do that better than donald trump. it's another great message for this president. look. there are changes and reforms that need to happen. that doesn't mean we need to allow violence and chaos to run rampant across the cities of this country. we need people to step up and reestablish law and order. brian: sarah, where is joe biden on this. >> where is joe biden to lead on this? brian: if right now the gap is so big and the biden people believe it between him and the president, there is no reason for him to leave the basement. unless you guys can close the gap, the first time we might see

him is november 3rd or at the debaghts. a lot of mail-in voting will happen before september 1st. how do you close the gap enough to force biden out of the basement. >> again, i think donald trump is the best person to make the case that he is still the outsider, still the disruptedder, the person that the country needs to rebuild the economy that he has already done. reestablish law and order. these are areas of strength. the president needs to stay focused on that message. and i think he will beat joe biden in november if he does that. ainsley: all right. sarah, thank you so much for being with us. >> you bet. thank you for having me. ainsley: you are welcome. consult mocultmom lori vallow hw charges overnight in the death of her children. nancy grace new series promises a bombshell. she is on deck.

>> so-called cult mom lori vallow facing new charges in the death of her children jj and tylee including conspiracy to commit destruction and concealment of evidence. this after police searched the home of her husband chad daybell again after j.j. and tylee's remains were found on that property earlier this month. all part of the shocking story

that nancy grace is following in new series called lori vallow investigation with nancy grace on fox nation and she joins us with more. good morning to you, nancy. >> good morning, thank you for inviting me. ainsley: you are welcome. what do these new charges mean. >> compared to the potential murder charges coming down the pike, they are basically a drop in the bucket. what they're called is destruction concealment. what that means is that she is accused of a conspiracy. in other words, she did it of hiding or destroying evidence that's really putting perfume on the pig that's euphemism. the evidence they are talking about are the bodies of two little children tiely was dismembered. she was burned and buried in the backyard with the cats and dogs, the pet of the family that's the evidence we are talking about. ainsley: oh my gosh, how do you do that to anyone, especially

your children. >> i don't know. ainsley: people are calling her cult mom. >> well, let me tell you something, yes, i have heard calling her cult mom because she got sucked into a cult called avow. and it's an offchute of the mormon church. not sanctioned by the mormon church. part of their belief is that evil spirits can take over your body. remember, this is real life. this isn't tv movie or series and the only way to get rid of the evil spirits which turn knew a zombie, not making this up, is to kill you. and that's what happened to those children. ainsley: oh my goodness you in your special you interview a cult expert who talked to you about it. let's play it and get your reaction on the back end. >> how does the cult i couldn't have all of this? >> i have seen doomsday groups make a prediction. the prediction that does not occur and then the leader simply

respins the story. chad daybell may say god has given him a new revelation. ainsley: is this something he has seen before. >> yes. very much so. seen it repeat itself throughout history. people belong to bizarre cults and end up killing themselves or others. here is the thing i would love to tell a jury. the cult phenomena is true in this case. what we are talking about is not lori vallow's bizarre beliefs buff the fact that she went along with a man who comes into her life, marries her in a beach side ceremony and gets her to go along with killing her children. that's what this is about. not their bizarre cult beliefs. they will muddy the water. but, right now these two both her, lori vallow and fifth husband, chad daybell the former grave additioner are looking at murder charges. eremember, there is a death

penalty in audio. it is by lethal injection, the needle. i don't want to debate the death penalty wrong or right. if we're going to have it, these two are the perfect candidates. ainsley: nancy, thank you so much. fascinating. i can't wait to watch it. it's called lori vallow investigation nancy grace on fox nation sign up and get your first month for 99 cents. thank you so much, nancy, for bringing all this to light. she interviews the divorce lawyer of her dead fourth husband. so you will hear from him, too. coming up, house minority leader kevin mccarthy and former energy secretary rick perry. stay with us.

brian: happening right now select top democrats meeting at the white house for a classified briefing on reports that russia placed bounties on american soldiers. steve: this as the pentagon says there is no corroborating evidence to back up those reports overnight. ainsley: jillian turner is live outside the white house as that meeting begins. hey, jillian. jillian: good morning, brian, ainsley, steve. so, there is new information continuing to break all morning long on this story as of now multiple senior intelligence officials are claiming that the trump adminitration did know about russia's bounty on u.s. service members in afghanistan as far back as a year and a half ago. several officials are also claiming they did brief president trump on this

intelligence in his presidential daily briefing in writing several months ago. now take a listen to what the white house said yesterday. the white house press secretary said multiple times in response to questioning. >> there is no consensus within the intelligence community on these allegations, and infect there are descenting opinions from some in the intelligence community with regards to the veracity of what's being reported and the veracity of the underlying allegations continue to be evaluated. >> now, today, that briefing with top tier democrats is going on. it is a day after the white house gave a sneak peak preview to republicans. democrats are now saying their mind is already made up take a listen to chuck schumer. >> president trump, you lose either way. if you weren't briefed on this important report, how can you run an administration where

something this important is not brought to your level? and if you were told about the report and did nothing that's even worse. >> president trump's national security advisor says in a statement to these government officials who betrayed the trust of the people of the united states by leaking classified information, your actions endanger our national security, and no matter the motivation, there is never a reason for such conduct. now, this focus on the leaking of this information, this intelligence which is highly classified fox news is told there's something that's being reiterated across the national security team here at the white house, gina haskell the cia director, john ratcliffe the director of national intelligence both said similar things yesterday and also saying whoever leaked this information could be prosecuted. brian, ainsley, steve? brian: wow thanks jillian appreciate it and congressman jim banks was in there, a

veteran of the war who says there's blood on the hands of those who leaked it. you revealed intelligence- sensitive details of a russian bounty situation that they said isn't corroborated. let's bring in kevin mccarthy minority leader. congressman, thanks for joining us, leader mccarthy. when you look at how this story is going, chuck schumer says what's worse, not knowing or knowing and not doing anything about it. how do you answer? >> well i think what's worse is what chuck schumer is playing into. he's playing politics with american lives by saying what he's saying. we all know that russia is dangerous to america. that's why this administration, the trump adminitration changed from the obama administration of a resetting. what the president did was gave weapons to ukraine. what president trump did was also put sanctions on russia. president trump is doing everything he did to protect our american troops, but the idea of

leaking information, not even knowing whether it's true or not, in the process, and playing it out in politics is dangerous to all americans who serve in our military anywhere in the world. this is not a place for this. chuck schumer is part of the gang as i am myself and this is not the way we should handle the situation or classified information and play it out into politics. steve: it certainly is not illegal for the new york times to print the story, and everybody has picked it up but it is illegal whoever inside government did leak it to the new york times, essentially but ultimately, let's say it is true, leader mccarthy and russia did pay and i know there's some concern about whether or not a car bombing in april of 2019 resulted in the deaths of three marines. ultimately, if it did happen, and russia did pay to have americans killed what are we going to do to russia? >> well there be many options of what we could do to russia. the one thing you do have to find right now is find out if it

is true. i know individuals are saying they have questions on both sides. let's get all of the information and let's not play this out into the public. let's get the real information so those on hand can do the actions that we need to hold back, but the one thing i do know this president has done though, stronger sanctions against russia, by any other president, stands up to him, also giving ukraine weapons where obama would only give them blankets. let's handle this in the manner in which we should making sure we're protecting our troops first and foremost that regardless whoever looks at american troops that they will have consequences for any actions that they go after. ainsley: so congressman, talking to a friend yesterday in georgia , and she was on the beach and all their kids with all the kids and they have to wear masks and she said they're burning up hot but they are requiring it and even the little ones, the little three-year-old has to wear a mask and it's annoying but she wants to stay safe. in your home state of california

they are doing the same thing. they are actually closing the beaches in some parts of your state for the july 4th weekend shutting down bars now and mandating the masks because we're seeing a rise in cases. what's your advice to your home state? >> well for my home state i do believe in wearing masks. i do not want to shut the economy back down. every day we learn more information about this virus. what we're learning now is it's not being passed bayou tense ill s and others what we caught early. it's actually the droplets from individuals to another one, so wearing a mask, social distancing and not touching your face and washing your hands is a way we can continue the economy opening up. in my home community it's not the bars as much that is passing from the health community, it's from within their own homes so we need to continue to practice the social distancing. brian: yeah shelter in place is not going to fly any more, but let's add to this. we get a lot of this stat but if you look at the deaths in this country, even two weeks ago , 11% of all deaths were due

to covid-19. now, even though the cases are going up, it goes from 11 to seven, so more people are getting it, and surviving with it, number one it could be that maybe this virus is not as severe, this version of the virus is not as severe and number two, younger people are getting it but they survive it and they are immune to it, so is that a good thing? >> well a good thing be nobody getting the virus and that be china not lying to the rest of the world. i mean the study says 95% of this never would have happened had china not lied. well it is here now and something we didn't invite here. the thing we are knowing as the american ingenuity we're testing 600,000 people a day. more than 31 million. no other country can do that. so as you test more you will find more but what we're also doing from our health community and from our science and medicine, we're finding better ways of treatment and that's what you're finding here that people are getting treated faster because they are being tested sooner. they are getting the treatment and healthier as we go through

this. one thing about america, we will overcome this. we will find a vaccine, we're finding therapies for it and we will actually not only save america but save the rest of the world from what china lied to us and put havoc and death throughout this world. steve: yeah, leader make car mccarthy you've said everybody should wear a mask. what about the president. he's made it clear he doesn't want to wear a mask but his federal government says everybody should wear a mask. don't you think it be a powerful symbol if the president of the united states would put on a mask and understand what so many people around the country are doing to try to slow down the spread of this thing? >> remember, i say wear a mask but when you see me speak on the floor when nobody else is around me, i'm not wearing a mask at that time. steve: sure. >> when you see the president speak, i think the social distancing, i've known the president to have worn a mask at times as he goes forward i do think the health of the nation to make sure this economy down that is not

the approach to take with the more information we have knowledge today, wearing the mask is the best opportunity for us to keep this economy open , keep us working keep us safe, and help us as we build towards that vaccine where we're in a much stronger position than any other country before. steve: thank you and leader mccarthy, we actually all have to wear a mask to get into this building. when we go into the green room we have to as well so we take it off when we're on tv just as you do when you speak as well. i just don't see any downside in the president being seen more often wearing it, it's symbolic, obviously, it's patriotic because you're not only protecting yourself, you're protecting other people. i've heard there are people around the president who say now you shouldn't wear it, but nonetheless, it be a powerful symbol. >> it would for the 4th of july we could show our patriotism. steve: great idea. ainsley: mr. leader, steve scalise was tweeting out saying nancy pelosi is extending the

proxy vote and she was doing it for 45 days she started on may 20 and for folks at home, she's telling the folks in the house they can stay-at-home if they don't feel comfortable coming to washington, vote from home and participate in their committee meetings from home and correct me if i'm wrong but that's what it is right? >> yes, what it is shadow voting and giving all your votes to nancy pelosi so if you voted for your member of congress she or he, they no longer have the power. they turned it over to nancy pelosi. they stay home. they're getting paid for not working. congress is essential. we work through yellow fever, through the burning of the capitol. ainsley: they aren't even working through zoom. because a lot of companies are doing this and republicans said it's unconstitutional, steve scalise says she's extending her proxy voting scheme for another 45 days, dems extend their free pass to skip work altogether but are they not working at all? >> no, they don't show up. work in congress means you are the representative for your district. they have loaned you the power,

they have loaned you the voice so whose the voice for you if you go to congress? if you're not voting on the floor another member walks up and says kevin mccarthy wanted to vote this way. that's all the work you do. if you want to vote by proxy, you have to sign a letter that you're physically unable to be here. well what did we find? charlie crist said he was unable to come to congress but he got in the car and drove for two and a half hours to try to watch a launch of a space ship? that's what he decided to do instead of represent his people? if you are not on the floor, to give the voice of your district, you missed the whole opportunity and that becomes law. brian: right and if you're too much of a high risk maybe you shouldn't run for re-election. china in particular has now passed a controversy security law, goodbye hong kong, we are witnessing the takedown of that autonomous region of china, that deal is done, and we are going to stop with our special status

there in response, what i feel is bad for the people of hong kong. they're essentially going to be smothered by mainland chaina >> it's not only bad for hong kong, it's bad for the world. not only did china lie to the entire world so thousands of people have died. china has not only lied to the entire world they put their name on a piece of a paper of a treaty of how they would handle hong kong for 50 years and now they just showed they would never keep their word. when they built the island and they told obama that they'd never weaponize them, they lied there too. when they steal our technology and say they do not, they lie there too. when they send people over into our universities and we have to arrest them when they're getting on the airplane with our secrets they lie then too. and they lie when they paid for the harvard professor to steal the secrets inside the technology that he was working on. brian: do you know what they are doing to the world now? they are sterilizing, aborting, and making them use iud's to

make sure that muslim population withers, as if the concentration camps they setup aren't bad enough. where is the world come den nation there and the muslim community there? >> do you know what else they are doing to australia? they simply want to know where did this virus come from? let's figure it out. they are punishing them to even look at the information. why did they not allow our scientists to come in and help contain this? why did they influence the world health organization to lie to the rest of the world so thousands of people have died? brian: well we should step up for australia and fill in the iron ore they're not getting and help them out with trade. they are arguably our most loyal allie. hopefully the president will do that. we should also change our supply chain where these companies come back to america. do you know what else happens july 1? u.s. mca. the strongest treaty you can sign when it comes to north america or anywhere else in the world so if you are a company inside china and you're thinking about moving, don't

think about vietnam. think about north america. i know japan is rising and moving their supply chain back. we should do the same. this is something that president trump warned us about, not as candidate trump but as citizen trump. steve: all right this is what needs to happen in the next administration is why he needs another four years. steve: leader kevin mccarthy we thank you very much for your view from the top. thank you, sir have a good independence day week. >> you too. steve: indeed. 8:14 now here in new york city and jillian joins us with headlines. jillian: that's right good morning and we start with a fox news alert. just hours from now, the new york city council will vote on mayor bill deblasio's budget proposal which cuts $1 billion from the nypd. protesters camped outside city hall ahead of the vote. some of them clashing with police earlier this morning. the protesters have been demanding the cuts for a week. the police union is slamming the mayor and council saying it will make the city less safe. >> the fired officer charged with killing rayshard brooks is

expected to appear in court. his attorneys will ask a judge to release him on bail. rolfe was charged with murder for the june 12 shooting and body cam video shows brooks struggling with officers during a dui stop in an atlanta wendy's parking lot and he was shot after grabbing a taser and running away. >> it is primary day for oklahoma, colorado and utah. there are several key races to watch. nine republicans vying to flip oklahoma's fifth district. in colorado, former governor going head-to-head with former state house speaker andrew roman of for the democrati c senate bid and in utah former governor john huntsman is facing lt. governor spencer cox for the republican nomination. >> a former combat translator who saved american lives in afghanistan officially becomes a u.s. citizen. >> i never expected to see this

in my life. >> janice shimwary and his two children were sworn in as a u.s. citizen. he worked for eight years alongside army troops while facing threats from taliban militants. officials say he helped save the lives of five american soldiers. that's awesome. steve: terrific. ainsley: special times for he and his family thank you. chief justice john roberts sid ing with liberals to strike down louisiana's abortion law. a former clerk to justice clarence thomas says they decided to be doctors instead of judges and she joins us next. did you know liberty mutual 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. ♪

brian: welcome back the supreme court striking down the louisiana law that required doctors performing abortions to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. the highest court in the land ruled 5-4 with chief justice roberts siding with the court's liberal justices so what are the implications from the decision? let's ask the president of the judicial crisis network, a former law clerk to justice clarence thomas who wrote the descent to the decision and before i get justice thomas' descent which is in writing let me get yours verbally. >> yeah this is a frustrating decision especially because the chief justice just four years ago ruled that this type of a law was in fact constitutional and he claims to still be of that position but nonetheless, ruled against the law yesterday and as justice thomas pointed out this case shouldn't be in court. in this case the law is designed to protect women against

abortion clinics who don't have high enough medical standards they just want to have the same standards that apply to all other outpatient surgical procedures but the court allowed those clinics to sue on behalf of the women when the law is actually supposed to be protecting those women against the clinics making sure they have high enough medical standards. it doesn't make sense it's not the standard we would normally allow in terms of who you allow to sue in court but in this case we seem to have made an exception for abortion. brian: surprised? >> well unfortunately, its become less and less of a surprise when the chief justice in these high profile cases strays from what his legal position might have been, and again the case just last week the daca case, again four years ago he ruled one way and somehow it has switched when you look at some of the political pressure being put on him, it seems that well on one side he pledged to call balls and strikes and at the same time, he seemed to have a lot of pressure when he thinks

the court is going to come under criticism from the mainstream media, from the elites. he tends to fold and not want to make those tough decisions that's a real concern and unfortunately, it's a pattern. brian: one thing that's clear it's not a conservative decision justice thomas makes that clear saying the chief justice ultimately conclude that louisiana's law is unconstitutional under our precedent but those decisions created the right to abortion without a shred of support from the constitution, our abortion precedents are wrong and should be overruled and some are saying as you said he does not want to maybe overturn settled law, but the dread scott decision was something that needed to be over turned and sometimes the supreme court through history has made mistakes. the conserve conservative side of the court says this was a mistake. >> yeah, and the strange thing is he didn't even need to actually overturn settled law to find in favor of louisiana in

this case. the facts on the ground are very different in louisiana even though the law is similar, it's much easier to get admitting privileges there, the distances are not as great as they are in texas so if some clinics did have to close and some clinics involved in this case had a lot of medical complaints so it's possible some wouldn't be able to meet those standards but even if they closest closer for the women to get to the clinics you could have distinguished that case and simply said the clinics aren't the right ones to bring this kind of argument, instead the chief justice voted with the liberals to uphold the law that he acknowledges he's not unconstitutional. brian: i'll probably have you back tomorrow because some explosive cases still have to be decided thanks so much. >> thanks. brian: more on this next election, the next president will have at least two supreme court justices to replace you would assume. meanwhile straight ahead, chaos in seattle's "chop" zone, teenagers shot and killed and another teen in critical

condition. the they are both african americans. the police union president says we are at a tipping point and he joins us live, next. 300 miles an hour, thats where i feel normal. having an annuity tells me my retirement is protected. protected lifetime income from an annuity can help your retirement plan ride out turbulent times. learn more at protectedincome.org.

steve: 8:30 here in new york city area, coronavirus lockdowns have forced the hotel industry

to essentially crash, but as some states are reopening, so are some hotels. jeff flock from our sister network fox business in chicago where a popular chain debuts some of its health conscience features and jeff, if you go into a hotel, the number one thing you want is to know that it's clean. >> safety and clean and steve i come to you from the world's newest hotel, this is novu, which you may know, this is novu chicago and they open tomorrow in the middle of a pandemic ready for social distancing and look at the beautiful view you get here, and michael chin the regional director you are either a guy whose going to redefine the hotel experience or the most crazy guy ever to open in the middle of a pandemic which is it? >> we are a little bit of both because we took a lot of risks we've been watching what the city is doing. we are making sure that we have all of our mayor updates and

governor updates just to see how this is tracking so construction has been going well. reporter: and you're opening. social distancing inside the hotel, you have 25% capacity , you're also giving guests what is this , this is what you're giving guests. steve says you've got to be healthy and safe. what are you doing? >> we're giving two masks out to every guests as well as a bottle of hand sanitizer and a touchless key, we're giving these to every guest so we'll have in the room putting little touch keys into the room for them. reporter: it looks like the old skeleton key. open it up here. can i open it up here? anyway -- >> i have one here. you put it on a key chain and carry it on your pocket with you so when we walk through and you go to various areas of the hotel you can touch services with a key instead of your hand. reporter: gotcha steve, i leave you with the positive and that

is hotel occupancy rate. if you put the chart up you see it was 22% hotel occupancy at the worst point and we've doubled that to 44% folks at novu hoping you rise above, for the hospitality industry. steve: that is progress jeff flock in chicago with the million dollar view. ainsley? ainsley: thanks, steve. violence is erupting in seattle 's "chop" zone, a 16- year-old was killed and 14- year-old remains in critical condition after being shot early yesterday morning. >> we have yet another murder in this area, identified as the "chop." two african americans men dead at a place where they claim to be witnesses of black lives matter but they're gone and dead now. ainsley: it's an interesting point here to react as protester s who refuse to leave the zone is michael salon the president of seattle police officers guild, good morning to

you, michael. >> good morning, ainsley. thanks for having me on. ainsley: okay, so, yes she brings up a really good point they are there protesting black lives matter, african americans young men who have been killed there and they are still allowed to stay in the chop zone. your reaction? >> well "chop" is an example of what happens when our elected leaders allow something like this to occur in a six-block area of the city where police aren't allowed to go in and it's another example surrounding the conversations which elected officials and politicians across this nation are supporting when we talk about defunding the police, and as your guest earlier in the show mentioned that i've said before, the first thing to go when we talk about defunding the police is the training budget and what separates good cops from bad is training and we all want training. not just police officers but across our communities, and what we need right now is more

funding and more training and more police officers and we need to reengage, reimagine policing when it comes to reconnecting with our communities across not only just seattle, but across the nation. ainsley: isn't it hard to find a suspect in this because i read that this happened at 3:00 a.m. yesterday morning, the jeep cherokee had multiple bullet holes in it, the crime scene was disturbed and then officers when they got to the scene it had already been tampered with so how do you find a suspect? >> first of all we got to be allowed in there and what is occurring allowed although small group of people that now have had the reasonable majority of citizens in the seattle held hostage by unreasonable activism and sadly what's occurred what was a fringe element of socialist political pandering is now becoming mainstream in the public safety political discourse in the city of seattle and the "chop" is an example of this. ainsley: it's unbelievable. i support law enforcement. most of the people i work with

we love our law enforcement officers we seem them on the streets but a lot of people in our country don't like them, and it's because of these bad cops that like the guy that goes for individuals that are suspects in the george floyd murder, so what's your reaction to that? our country is so divided and i never thought that we be at this place. >> yeah, it's very troubling. not only is our country divided, but police were still in shock of what occurred in minneapolis, and that type of action shouldn't be allowed in any form of any human interaction regardless if its just police or other citizens and we demand justice for what occurred as we supported in our open letter but we need to reconnect back with our community policing engagement. i think the protection plan which we came up with we're looking to reengage as far as what we came up with a concept within the epp is ala carte policing.

connecting with each individual neighborhood in the city of seattle with community liasons to listen to them and then dictate how we conduct our policing within that community. that is the heart of what we should reengage with. reimagining police. ainsley: every community has different needs. that's right so we ask our politicians bring us as stakeholders so we could have these discussions because if you remove the line officer that have direct communication with our citizens each and every day, then we aren't part of the discussion. therefore public safety will break down. ainsley: michael thank you so much for what you're doing we wish you all the best. >> you bet thank you, ainsley. ainsley: 35 minutes after the top of the hour, texas governor greg abbott sending a warning about the coronavirus. >> covid-19 has taken a very swift and very dangerous turn in texas. ainsley: can state leaders do to help keep people safe and keep reopening on track. we're going to ask the former

and they're actually pulling out the minerals from the enamel. i like to recommend pronamel to my patients. pronamel will help push the minerals back into the enamel, to keep the enamel strong. i know it works. and i hear nothing but great things from my patients that have switched to it.

>> texas governor greg abbott issuing a warning about the increase in the coronavirus cases. listen. >> we need to understand that covid-19 has taken a very swift and very dangerous turn in texas over just the past few weeks. over just the past few weeks, the daily number of cases have gone from an average of about 2,000 to more than 5,000 per-day ainsley: so how can the state leadership keep people safe without undoing the progress and getting people back to work? steve: here to react we've got former texas governor and former u.s. energy secretary rick perry governor good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: we knew this was going to

happen as the country reopened you're just going to have more infections. the question is going forward, what do we do to keep the number of people who have to check into a hospital or an icu bed at a minimum? >> yeah, i think americans are looking for hope right now. i mean, they'd like to hear a message from our leaders, across-the-board of whether it's the federal level or whether it's the state level that there are some opportunities that we see to fight this thing, and there's a couple of things out there that i've seen that i'm really intrigued with that i'm watching. one is mesanchymal stem cells, there's a company in houston called cell tech and they are in phase iii trial in mexico and that's the next step to commercialization and they are in phase ii trials right here in the united states, approved the fda that these adult stem cells reintroduced them to the body is very powerful preventive against covid-19, so i mean,

that's some fascinating good news out there and not too far out into the future. you know, a lot of people talk about dr. fauci, dr. birx, and we hear them talk about we're going to get a vaccine. well, not anytime soon we're not , so some of these medical things that we see are really fascinating. now let me tell you this. there's some really good cool stuff coming out of houston, texas, with a filter, monser harani and his company, meda-star, they are working on a difference filter that goes into your hvac, they work with the university of houston super conductive it institute with them, with the texas a &m the university of texas with the biolab in galveston, that national lab, proof of concept, it worked. finding a supply chain which shouldn't be that hard to do

here in the state of texas there's some great companies that build those air conditioning units, put those in our public schools between now and september, get our kids back into school. the american pediatric association has said we need to get our kids back-to-school, so there's two ways that i see a lot of hope for americans out there but hey listen we're going to kill this coronavirus in our hvac system, we're going to build pre preventive with companies like cell tech out there so people are like masks and social distancing and going back into our rooms is what we look for that may be short-term what they're hearing but listen there's some good hope out there for americans with technology, americans have always, always been able to you know whether it was jack kilby with the integrated circuit, whether americans that have come forward

in times of need, american ingenuity is what will deliver this victory over covid-19, guaranteed. ainsley: it's fascinating i can't wait to see what this company cell tech says i know you were on the board after you were governor they asked you to serve on the board and when you became energy secretary you did resign from the board as you had to do but thank you for mentioning that because we hear so much about vaccines let's move on to our next top cuomo and brian you set it up. brian: right and by the way, typical texas i have bar owners suing to overturn the closures taking place at least temporarily. meanwhile i had a chance to catch up with the governor six weeks ago to before this covid-19 shelved the country for my series what made america great on fox nation , because rick, i went to the bread basket of another one of your expertise and that is your predecessor the first governor, the first president of texas, sam houston. and you explain to me why you looked up to him.

>> what is it look living here? well he's the greatest governor you think about the different things in history, where he came from, he was the governor of tennessee, he was a congressman from tennessee, he came to texas and he was the president of the republican texas. this guy, nobody even gets close with the history, the things he did this is a man who had the ability to bring the north and the south together. brian: so he went to his bed he was in when he passed away the impact he made on this country is not a president but put it in perspective, rick? >> yeah, absolutely. when you think about it. i do a little bit of restructur ed history if you will think about if he had been elected president of the united states which is why it's asking to get out of the race and not run, but sam houston would have brought this country together. i will suggest to you we would not have had a civil war, and a lot of the things that we're sey might not be happening had you

had an individual like sam houston who is able to bring the parts together, the south and the north, and i think about we need a sam houston today to step forward and say listen can't we sit down and work together and find solutions to this , and look into the future with great pride and great hope. steve: well you can see that episode of sam houston on the series premiering tomorrow on fox nation check it out. available exclusively on fox nation just $0.99 for the first month. governor thank you very much for joining us live. >> god bless you have a happy and a wonderful 4th of july. ainsley: god bless america. brian: and we're going to look into what you were saying too as being proactive. meanwhile 14 minutes before the top of the hour straight ahead democrats slamming president trump ahead of his trip to mount rushmore to kickoff july 4th weekend you won't believe it. duroy murdock says democrats will criticize the president no

matter where he goes that story next but first i want to check in with sandra smith find out what she put together for her show which is also three hours. >> sandra: it's a rocking three hours, coming up i can promise you that brian, ainsley and steve more supreme court decisions are expected today, we've got shannon reem, judge andrew napolitano and bret baier standing by on that and also awaiting a capitol hill hearing on getting back-to-school and work safely amid the coronavirus pandemic. dr. fauci, dr. redfield and other top medical professionals will be testifying this morning we'll be watching that and the latest from the white house on russian bounties the new york times and more a live report am coming up top of the hour on that, big three hours, as i promised brian, coming up america's news room top of the hour. 49... 50!

jillian: good morning we're back with quick headlines the fda is set to issue guidance on their conditions to approve a covid-19 vaccine today. according to the wall street journal it must be at least 50% more effective than a placebo in preventing the coronavirus. a company would also need to clearly demonstrate a vaccine's safety and effectiveness through a clinical setting. it is expected to be discussed today, when fda commissioner steven hahn appears before a senate committee.

>> a 72-year-old woman rushed to the hospital after she was gored by a bison at yellow stone national park. officials say she was trying to take photos of the massive animal and got within 10 feet of it multiple times. visitors are recommended to stay at least 25 feet away. the woman who wasn't named has multiple injuries and her condition is unknown. >> voters in oregon may have the option to legalize psychedelic mushrooms in november. a petition garnered more than 164,000 signatures passing the threshold to get on the ballot. a drug be used as therapy treating depression, anxiety and addiction. and they will know if it's on the ballot by next month. steve? steve: jillian, thank you. president trump facing criticism over his upcoming 4th of july trip, actually the third of july , to mount rushmore as some on the left even support getting rid of mount rushmore. here with reaction fox news contributor deroy murdock.

good morning to you. >> good morning, steve how you? steve: i'm doing okay. as we look forward to the president's trip on friday out to south dakota it's not surprising that there are a number of people who are criticizing the president for his trip there where he would like to set off some fireworks over it for the first time in over 10 years, because there are a lot of people who criticize everything donald trump does. >> that's right if he went to trump tower they complain because they're trapped in midtown manhattan, and the grand canyon they would say it's not wide enough or deep enough and if he went to a landfill they complain about that so he gets up in the morning and goes to sleep and it's pretty much what the pattern is today. sadly. steve: when you look at what the mount rushmore stands for and you look at what we have seen happening in this country over the last 10 days or so where people are taking monuments, and they're taking

statues, and rather than peacefully deciding whether or not that should still be in the public square they just rip them down. what do you make of that? >> well it's awful. these statues don't belong to these people to tear down. there are statues not their statues for one thing. if you complain about a statue call your congressman or mayor number one and number two i believe in more statues if you don't like the statues of americas founders put up statues of other people for example, if you don't like mount rushmore i know there's a statue of crazy horse going up, the great indian leader put up more statues of prominent indians, indian chiefs what have you, i think that when you have for example, complaints about the washington-jefferson statues there should be statues of hairy tubman and frederick douglas and booker t. washington and duke ellington and all great black americans that made it very proud throughout the century so we should be building more statues. steve: deroy i want you to listen here is the governor of the great state of south dakota talking about those who would

like to get rid or erase mount rushmore. >> our history is incredibly important to this country and what we stand for is what makes america special. our leaders have flaws absolutely but when we focus on the flaws we miss the virtues and the lessons that they can teach us. this is a wonderful opportunity for us to celebrate america's birthday, and join together and have some unit it and really focus on opportunity in america and perhaps that's what they don't want to talk about. steve: deroy, i'll give you the final word on this. >> a couple points one is look. we're all flawed people have good and bad things about them. the same man who beat the british and defeated king george, and also is the man who was our first president established the presidency and its norms and standards, thomas jefferson and also wrote the declaration of independence which is basically america's birth certificate and things that lincoln did about indians that might not have been terrific but he emancipated the slaves that was pretty huge and also we had eight years of

obama-biden. we only hear these complaints now under president trump. and all of this is designed essentially to make trump's life miserable to try to defeat him in november. steve: exactly there is always that political component isn't there? sir, thank you very much on this tuesday. >> thank you, steve. steve: we'll step away and come back in a couple minutes. 300 miles an hour, thats where i feel normal. having an annuity tells me my retirement is protected. protected lifetime income from an annuity can help your retirement plan ride out turbulent times. learn more at protectedincome.org.
