was my son. i am with black lives matter and all that. i appreciate that but certain things should matter outside that we put a stamp on this and say these are children, remember, children of god. >> seattle police given the green light to dismantle chop yesterday, they made 44 arrests for failure to disperse, assault, creating interference in malicious mischief. the mayor was reluctant to shut the zone down since it started weeks ago sounding off. >> from conversations over the weekend it was clear that many individuals would not leave and the impact to the community could not be reduced and public safety could not be improved until they did leave. >> police were able to take back the east precinct but they won't be moving back in just yet.

junior officer but apparently that does not apply to the commander-in-chief. >> ranking member of the senate foreign relations committee bob menendez is proposing sanctions on russia and freezing assets, this as we wait for those meetings, one at 11:30 in a secure skiff and at 1:00 pm house intelligence committee will be briefed. jillian: we will have dan hoffman, the station chief, with more on that. >> thousand services committee unanimously approved at $740 billion defense bill, the panel proving several amendments including one that would force the pentagon to renew military base named for confederate generals, donald trump has threatened to veto that bill but mitch mcconnell urged the president to reconsider. congressman scott is on the committee able join us in the next hour to discuss why he supports that bill. >> california governor gavin newsom is reversed the state's

>> another russia hoax? that is the word from donald trump if you go to secretary of state defend the intelligence community over the russian bounty controversy. >> they don't see many things they don't think rose to the occasion, the student rise to the occasion. i think it is a hoax. >> when the intelligence community feels something needs to get the president i'm sure they will consistently present it. >> is democrats pick apart the story top intelligence leaders status unverified and call for a probe with more briefings scheduled for today, russia speaking out to speak on the story themselves. dan hoffman, good to see you, thanks for joining us. you say there are two issues at play, what are they? >> the first is a duty to warn. when we collect intelligence even if it is battlefield, tactical intelligence of a sort

that we collected where captured taliban militants were divulging they were receiving bounty payments from russians to kill american soldiers we would disseminate that information immediately because his threat information and we would never want to hold back on that to collect more intelligence. we would do that separately but got to get the information out. the second is a policy issue where we take action beyond defending ourselves, this is where the united states would determine if intelligence rises to the threshold where we would take countermeasures against russia. expelling russian officials from the united states which we have done before or increasing sanctions on russia and the bar for that is much higher. when the president becomes involved it is up to the idiosyncrasies, some presidents like to be involved from an early stage in a this wants to be involved once we have more detail and clarity on the intelligence at hand. >> a lot of democrats attacking the president on this topic

including seth bolton, military guy himself, he said he did this he would have been in prison, he called the president treasonous. is this just democrats trying to score political points or do they have a point? >> i think one of the uncomfortable things, i say this has retired intelligence officer, when intelligence becomes a part of our political discourse, it is certainly an issue to the extent to which russia has support of the telegram, small arms as well as the training and financial payments. we know they are doing that and so is pakistan and iran, it has been going on for a long time and the extent to which we take another step from all of that to paying bounties. if you give the taliban some money and they are dragging sniper rifles you expect to use it against the united states,

their enemy. to some extent i think democrats are running against russia and that is a good politically expedient thing to do. it is to the detriment arguably to the discourse we need, bipartisan consensus on dealing with an adversary. jillian: two things to get you to respond to, the first is the russian embassy speaking out saying in the us media there is a new smear campaign aimed at creating an enemy image of russia and then this, 77.6% of russians back in amendment that will let vladimir putin remain in power until 2036. what are the ramifications of that? >> a putin is going to be staying in power through his 80s and it always suited him to have a higher level of animosity between russia and the west. he portrays himself as the only one who can defend russia, the

besieged forecast, his referendum was never in doubt, was rubberstamped by russia's parliament under putin's control. he is a kgb operative in the kremlin and when we have to deal with for decades to come. jillian: thank you for that inside information, appreciate it. 19 after the hour, a powerful message as the father of the teen killed in seattle's chop zone calls for a end to the violence. >> i want the world to know that was my son, we got a put stamp on this and say these are children, remember, these are children of god. >> this plea comes as the occupy zone is cleared out but is it too little too late to cure next guest says it is just a matter of time until politicians gave to the mob again. it's pretty inspiring the way families

jillian: the city of seattle put the end to chop after lawlessness including two senseless death was the father of one of those victims is too little too late. >> what has happened is lawless, bottom line is it is simply unacceptable. >> he needed help, paramedics, needed police to come in. >> ken the city ever recovery? former seattle candidate joins us with his take. you were just there? what did you see? >> next to be part of america in seattle. before i left the place was

completely cleared out, nothing happens before, you see the occasional art on the street or on the buildings but it is completely cleared out. there was a line of protesters but from what i understand according to the seattle police department is protesters are getting aggressive again and throwing things at the police officers defending the area and throwing rocks again so we are back where we started before the police abandoned east precinct. jillian: a lot of people in that area have been afraid day in and day out are breathing a sigh of relief this morning but a couple families aren't and that includes the father of horace anderson junior who we heard from a second ago. let's look at another clip. >> they don't care, didn't matter. i haven't heard from the mayor or the police department, no -- nobody. >> all i know is nice got

killed, a 19-year-old. that is my. >> devastating when you hear that. what does leadership in that city need to do now that they haven't been doing for the last few weeks? >> there was heartbreaking. is the father of three kids, that breaks my heart. i thought that interview earlier, i was beside myself, leadership anddidn't do anything when his was killed, they didn't do anything when a 16 iraq was killed and 14-year-old was injured, the mayor decided to do something after protesters showed up at her house that's when she decided to actually that is when she got aggressive and said it is time. after the area was cleared, tammy more alice said what must end is the mayor's personal campaign to misinform the public about threats to safety. one of the most tender of things

you could possibly here. another councilmember, council member gonzalez said this is all because of gun violence, the marxist councilmembers this is because of capitalism. they are completely out of touch with what was going on, how dangerous it was and until we get officials and elected leadership in the city who understand it we are going to see more and more of this. >> let's put up on the seen the crime inside the chop zone obviously highlighted by two homicides but let's not discount the assault, burglary, shootings and rape. i will ask a point blank question, do black lives matter in the chop zone? >> apparently they don't matter to the people who claim they matter. even carmen best said this area is supposed to be about black lives and don't think to matter to people in a very because two

black men were killed in this area. the messages gotten completely lost by the people who claim to represent them. tonight there was a protest at the west precinct, mostly white people and they decided to take on the state of israel tonight and have a day of rage with the black lives movement and all the anti-israel organizations, what does israel have to do with the death of george floyd. the message is completely diluted and gone at this point. >> thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. todd: joe biden outrage and donald trump in a record-setting campaign but how much would impact the actual election. jillian: following the money, we set have that next.

>> a look at top headlines, city

council cutting the police department budget by $150 million, 251 officers by next summer taking staffing to 9757, the lowest level in 12 years. this comes as the la school board cut its police budget by $25 million. >> reporter: donald trump blasting reports on russian bounties calling from a hoax. l top intelligence officials will brief lawmakers on the report, so far those claims have not been verified by us intelligence. change casinos reopening in new jersey but at reduced capacity. gamblers will be required to wear face masks and have their temperatures taken, they will not be allowed to eat, drink or smoke inside. jillian: more talks underway between israel and the white house over the delayed annexation of the west bank prompting day average protests among palestinians in gaza and in the us outside house speaker nancy pelosi's home.

>> live in jerusalem, democrats threatened to withhold money from his real. good morning. >> israel's planned annexation of the west bank appears to be moving forward as reports indicate talks are continuing between the trump administration and israeli officials, the jerusalem post reports benjamin and yahoo is waiting for the green light from donald trump may make an announcement about annexation. there were protests in many places in opposition to the proposed annexation including gaza where hamas and islamic jihad participated in a day of rage, it was attended by thousands of gazans, the party in control of the west bank will hold a rare joint press statement about rejection of israeli plans. there were even protests in california outside nancy pelosi's home. one banner read, quote, wake up nancy, annexation is a

nightmare, this is alexandria ocasio cortez and other house democrats and a letter to us secretary of state mike pompeo saying if plans move forward they will pursue legislation ensuring us military funding to israel be conditioned on the next asian decisions. the annexation issue even reached the doors of vatican city yesterday where the vatican called forward the us ambassador and israeli ambassador to discuss what they say are concerned about future peace negotiations as a result of annexation moving forward. >> a vigil's plan tomorrow for the for good soldier missing since april. the family believes the remains were found in two shallow graves this week, calling on congress to get some answers. >> my sister vanessa was sexual harassment nothing was done. the responsibility, safety and

respect. >> the remains of not officially been identified. a military suspect killed himself in authorities tried to contact him. and other civilian suspect is in custody. chad davis, the husband of cult mom lori val oh is accused of conspiring to hide their bodies during a virtual arraignment after valhow, the remains were found near the home, they remain on jail on $1 million bond. check this out. a 3-story building collapses in new york city with one man escaping with minor injuries, witnesses say the structure crumbled within 30 seconds sending debris into the streets. a partial stop work order had just been issued weeks ago for failure to maintain that building. it house the gym on the first floor and appeared to be undergoing construction. the cars of the collapse under investigation.

jillian: joe biden's polling momentum going strong as his support from young voters ramps up, donald trump is warning them a biden presidency would lead to economic collapse. >> if he got elected that is an overhang over the market because the market will crash. people around him are radical left, they will raise taxes, raise regulations and put anyone out of business who would be a disaster. >> as the economy starts a slow crawl back to normal hopefully from its pandemic lows what do young voters need to know to ensure a strong future? good morning, good to see you, thanks for being here. take a look at these paul nevers, joe biden leading donald trump with ages 18-29 between the end of may and june 18th. what do you think of those numbers? what do they tell you? >> it tells you joe biden has a lot of momentum from his

basement campaign without having to step out and campaign and when he's not out speaking is doing well because with the ongoing pandemic and the president's reactions to black lives matter, backlash among younger americans, the interesting thing is once joe biden starts having to come out of the basement he will have a lot of issues too because remember black lives matter in many ways is a response to the biden crime bill of 1994 of mass incarceration that put millions of black and brown lives in prison just because mandatory minimums and other policies that he wrote into law and joe biden's record on civil rights was not great, he opposed busing, he is someone who isn't progressive at all when you think of that.

he didn't support gay marriage, he was dragged into it well into the obama administration's term. as far as where young people are on culture issues they may at first think donald trump is not the best but remember donald trump signed the first criminal justice reform law into effect in this century and certainly his twitter account of the things he says might not gel with a young people are look at his active voting industry and lawmaking history, much much worse in many ways, the real laws are worse than what donald trump has said. >> as we know polls can change. take it for what it is worth but who knows what it will look like tomorrow and a week from now. in december of 2019, include raising corporate tax rate from 21% to 28% establishing a new

minimum tax on large companies, raising current capital gains, repealing corporate tax breaks and using tax revenue to finance new spending on clean energy and college aid. as you look at the numbers on us employment going down after the wild ride with covid-19, that's a good sign for the president. you are looking at our economy right now at this point and what it has been able to do the last few months, your thoughts on both of those. >> for younger americans before covid-19 we saw the best youth unemployment numbers and the reagan era and things picking up for younger americans, i turned 30 relatively recently, my generation had real failure to launch in the obama years, it was tough to find good work, very tough, impossible to buy a

house, and in the last couple years those things -- it is still not easy but we've seen a massive economic pick up and things bounced back already. from an economic perspective there is no doubt that if people are voting, the question, the president and the people around him focusing on that, some of the campaign is focused on that and the question is, is joe biden going to have a response. we are writing to the campaign, looking at poll numbers is premature especially with the demographic like young people who were supposed to vote overwhelmingly for hillary clinton and did not that is the question, joe biden is worse than hillary clinton a lot of

issues. >> we are still in the midst of coronavirus knows what will happen in the next few months, we will keep tabs on it and following the money, a quick note to everyone at home if you're paying attention joe biden's race $141 million in june, $282 million and quarter 2 and donald from 132 million in june, 236. keep an eye on that run as always, thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. it is 20 minutes until the top of your, the president setting the record straight. >> i'm all for masks if i were in a group of people and i was close -- >> you would wear when? >> i have. >> it comes as the debate rages over whether the us needs a math mandate? doctor dr. nicole saphier answers that next.

>> i'm all for masks, if i were in a group of people and i was close. >> you would wear one. >> i have. people and see me wearing one but i had a mask on and said i like the way i looked. >> the president responding to his face covering critics of the

record straight on his stand on masks, this remarks coming as half of all states titan mask requirements to curb the recent spike of covid-19 cases. >> where do we go from here. joining us with her expertise, fox news medical contributor dr. nicole saphier. interesting comments by the president. what is your take? >> great to finally hear the president say that. makes for good messaging to the american people. the reason the president wasn't wearing a mask, there's a logical reason, he is constantly tested as are those around him but the truth is tests are not foolproof there are false negatives so all of my patients to come in for biopsies are wearing ppe despite the fact that they are having negative covid-19 test. i like the messaging from the president. as we move forward talking about whether we should be having universal mask mandates, is a topic for discussion. i talk about this as a concept in my book when i talk about seatbelts. we know seatbelt safety, seatbelt safety not only saves

lives but listens injuries when you have a car accident, no matter how many times physicians say everyone should wear a seatbelt and adhere to speed limit laws people didn't want to do it. it wasn't until there was a click it or ticket laws and some sort of financial penalty that people started wearing their seatbelts. do we need something parallel when it comes to masks? i would hope not especially since this is a temporary time for our country but sometimes people are stubborn and don't want to wear a mask and we may have to move forward with some sort of thing to do to increase mask wearing. >> look at this map of 21 states with statewide mask requirements in public spaces and businesses, we will see if there is a national mandate anytime soon. let's talk about heard immunity. as cases continue to surge especially in certain states many states are slowing down the

reopening plans. listen to what doctor anthony fauci said. >> i doubt seriously that any vaccine will be 100% protective. i would settle for 75% effective vaccine because that would bring you to the level of heard immunity. >> explain that to those of us not in the medical world. >> the concept of heard immunity means a large enough population who have the viral infection, vaccinated and immune against it so it can circulate. that is what we see with the flu every year. doctor anthony fauci is optimistically looking forward to a vaccine that may be 75% effective, the flu vaccine ranges from 35 to 65 every year. we know it doesn't reach that level at all. in terms of a vaccine we want to

take the vaccine plus those infected and hope that number reaches 60 percent-75%, that is the target number that we need to reach to get to heard immunity. we know because of our large studies the cdc is doing and others across the globe the prevalence of covid-19 is 10 percent-15% of the population which means to get to that 60 percent-70% we need a vaccine that is 50 percent-60% effective. i'm hopeful one of these candidates will have that sort of efficacy but like i said when it comes to the flu vaccine oftentimes, it varies on the year but often times it is less then that. >> before we let you go. >> it is okay. we have a lot of cases right now and all those cases for every case we find more people are

actually have it whether it is a systematic were not getting test, we know that it is circulating around, we know a lot of people are immune to it and more companies in late stages of clinical trials than ever before and we also have some treatments that are showing that they are working so as we head into the fall months we are on our way to reaching that heard immunity. we are in a better place and we are before, look at are death rates, specifically going down. we are doing what we need to do, protecting the vulnerable, protecting the elderly. as we move forward we want to decrease virus transmission so if you cannot maintain that social distancing consider wearing a mask. >> people ask why are you wearing them? you're going to be fine. i don't know that i want to protect my family, my parents,

my aunts and uncles. 19 states positive reverse reopening plans, thank you for joining us, you're leaving us feeling more optimistic today. have a good day. >> now bringing everybody down, the pandemic, the league cutting the number of games from 4 to 2. that's not the worst. it reportedly kick off august 20th, one week later than originally planned, plans must be approved by the players association who will meet today and believe consider requiring fans to sign a liability waiver as protection against lawsuits related to coronavirus. >> heartwarming homecoming for one military family. air force technical sergeant kevin gleam returning to pennsylvania after a 10 month deployment in southwest asia. he left as a father of three and returned father of four. holding his son callum for the first time. >> a beautiful baby and awesome. >> he can't wait to relax and

spend time with his family. >> beautiful beautiful and we will be right back. it's pretty inspiring the way families

redefined the word 'school' this year. it's why, at xfinity, we're committed to helping kids keep learning through the summer. and help college students studying at home stay connected through our university program. we're providing affordable internet access to low income families through our internet essentials program. and this summer, xfinity is creating a virtual summer camp for kids at home- all on xfinity x1. we're committed to helping all families stay connected. learn more at xfinity.com/education.

>> message for users who are unhappy about the president's posts, stop complaining and go vote. >> online reaction, good morning. carley: over 400 companies have pulled ads from facebook in an effort to get the social media platform to do a better job taking down what they view as misinformation and hate speech. essentially these companies don't like that facebook allows controversial posts by the president to stay up. facebook is out with a new statement, we understood many of

our critics are angry about the inflammatory rhetoric donald trump's post on our platform. we want to use our platform to empower voters to mayfield the decision themselves on election day and they have launched a campaign aimed at registering 400 new voters by november so essentially they say actions speak louder than words, if you don't like the president, vote him out of office, facebook changed its rules amid this boycott, they will label posts written by the president that break there is sort of like twitter does so it seems the boycott has worked, a little unsure why they are still boycotting but that will shape up this morning. todd: a soccer star getting national attention for responding to the national anthem. carley: national women's soccer league star rachel hill is

standing while the rest of her team in this photo decided to take a need during the national anthem, she released a statement explain her decision saying i chose to stand because what the flag means to my military family members and me but i 100% support my peers. this sparked a lot of reaction to say this showed my truth and in the end i wanted to remain true to myself. randy says good for you to do what you feel is right and putting a lot of thought into this tough situation. the amazing thing is she spoke to her teammates, everybody feels they understand where she's coming from and she understands where they are coming from. a lot of understanding on this team that you are not seeing in other facets of our country. >> coming up in the next hour of "fox and friends first" to die warning about this position to defund the nypd. >> we know that what we are doing will create a more violent

city and here's we are doing it anyway. >> councilman joe borelli says there is no doubt bill diblasio's they will make the streets were safe, the gop lawmaker joins us ahead.

>> but got killed her. in a 19-year-old, that's my son. you know and i love.
