police department for failing to protect his son. police officers moved in yesterday to clear the chop zone, something anderson said should have been done weeks ago. >> they should have been doing something about this a long time ago. and i don't, you know, like i said i understand black lives matter and all that, but that was my son. i'm not with all this, whatever is going on. but i don't know anything about that. of all i know is this is my son and i love him. >> emily: christina coleman is live in los angeles with more on all this. christina, good morning. >> this father is still searching for answers and wanting to know exactly what happened to his son leading up to his death. police say horace lorenzo anderson jr. is one of two

victims killed in the four shootings that happened over the top zone in the last few weeks. about 100 police officers swarmed to the area reclaiming their east precinct and cleaning out the occupied zone. many cd leaders felt enough was enough. crimes including assault and vandalism rose from the 500% in the area since protesters took over that space and that there were those two deadly shootings in that area. at least 31 people have been arrested. in the meantime people who live and work in that space say they have had to tolerate all of this mess and violence. as for horace lorenzo anderson jr., he was shot in the protest on june 20th. his father said the police and seattle's mayor didn't reach out about his son's death and every day for him is hard. >> all i know is my son got killed up there and he is just a 19-year-old. that's horace lorenzo anderson, that's my son. you know, and i love him.

and that was my son. >> a federal lawsuit has been filed by some business owners and people who live in the area claiming the city was too lenient. they should be blamed for all of the violence. >> emily: christina coleman on that. >> trace: it's there's accusations that there were bounties paid to kill american troops in afghanistan's and he says if that actually happened he will take action. >> president trump: we never heard about it because intelligence never found it to be of that level where it would rise to that end.

i think it's a hoax. i think it's a hoax by the newspapers and the democrats. >> kristin fisher is live for us on the north lawn. >> that intelligence whatever it is will be front and center. this time the referrers are going to be the directors of the nsa and the cia. so the focus of this briefing is going to be on what exactly that intelligence is behind these russian bounties and u.s. troops, and members of congress also want to know who at the white house knew about this intelligence and when. secretary of state mike pompeo was asked if he knew about it yesterday by bret baier and here's what he said. >> i'm not trying to be clever. there's so much that has been reported that is not accurate.

and that's how they actually resolve and figure out what's going on. >> "the new york times" is out with a new report putting a price on these russian bounties, as much as $100,000 for every american soldier killed it, paper reports. seth moulton who is a former marine corps officer is now leveling some very serious accusations against president trump. >> if this isn't treason, i don't know what is. as a second lieutenant if i disregarded an intelligence report, didn't bother to read it and i got my marines killed it, i wouldn't be tweeting excuses, i would be in prison. >> it will be very interesting to watch and see how the members of the gang of eight respond as with what they learned in this very classified briefing. it's relatively rare that we even know about a gang of eight briefing meeting but, the

white house knows that that is what happens when classified intelligence is leaked out into the open like this. >> trace: kristin fisher live for us in the white house. thank you. >> emily: and for more on all this let's bring in senator tom cotton. he joins us now. senator cotton, great to have you here this morning and lots to get to. first i want to put up on the screen, this is top democrats unveiling this amendment to sanction putin. it includes this, asset freeze and visa ban, expanded sanctions, making restrictions across russia's defense program. but senator and unveiling this amendment, those top democrats including menendez himself said that the president has proven once again that he is incapable of protecting american troops in this country. how do you respond to that? >> sandra, i would say that once

again you can't trust anything "the new york times" reports about russia and a donald trump. "the new york times" revealed why it's a national laughingstock. member the story they printed that the president had been briefed on definitive intelligence of russian bounties on american troops in afghanistan? we now know that there was no definitive intelligence. there was strong dissent within the intelligence community and a career briefer at the cia chose not to highlight this to the president. and that there remains disagreement within the intelligence community. we also know that nancy pelosi, chuck schumer and adam schiff have had access to the same intelligence for months yet they haven't been taking access on it and screaming in front of the cameras until "the new york times" published the story. as far as being tough on russia president trump has been far tougher than president obama ever was.

president trump sent antitank missiles. president trump has pulled out of obsolete treaties despite democrats responding to it. i'm always open to taking a tougher line on russia but the allegation and "the new york times" are simply false as they usually are. >> emily: so the president, it would appear that you are backing him up and calling him a hoax. after the briefing they are saying what we heard and there would not indicate that this was a hoax. then you had mike pompeo saying so much of this is not accurate, this is an incomplete picture. but he says it's getting in the way of him finding out the true details of the story. so isn't there more to learn here, senator cotton? >> what's regrettable is that someone in the intelligence

community or perhaps in a partner nations intelligence community decided to leak partial and incomplete intelligence. intelligence services often get that kind of partial incomplete or conflicting evidence. they don't always run to the president or the prime minister to share it with them until it's verified and corroborated and until they understand the fuller picture. again, it's clear now from what ambassador brian has said and what others in the administration and said. these are matters they would normally be talking about, but there was strong disagreement inside of our intelligence community about whether or not this intelligence was correct or not. as the president said if he was briefed on intelligence that suggested there were bounties on american soldiers then he would take action on it. that's not what happened about because of that this agreement. just look at what the democrats have done to politicize this matter. president trump authorized the killing of qassem soleimani who,

no question, was responsible for the deaths of thousands of americans. the democrats were saying he was going to start a war which didn't happen but they were simply using another fake story from "the new york times" for political gain. >> emily: do you support the democrats calls to further sanction putin? >> i am always worried about what russia is up to which is why i supported things like sending lethal weapons to ukraine or withdrawing from absolute cold war treaties or opposing obama era treaties that tie our hands and give china and russia lay upper hand when it comes to nuclear forces. every time china takes a tough action on russia, the democrats who beat their just so hard to come they didn't send it with the weapons to the ukraine. they always roll over in the middle east standing up for russia's allies like iran. the democrats are not the ones who are taking a tough line on

russia here, it's president trump. >> sandra: i want to finish off by asking you about this debate that's happening. in some cases bipartisan calls to rename some of these l terry basis tied to figures from the confederacy, chuck schumer last night on the house armed services committee passing this bill forcing the pentagon to change the names of some of these military bases within the next year. the president is threatening to veto the annual senate defense bill and it includes the renaming of some of these piec pieces. >> president trump will not veto a bill that it contains a pay raise support our troops into crucial support for our military. this is nothing but typical bluster from president trump. the nda will pass and we will scrub from our military bases the names of men who fought for the confederacy and took up arms against our country.

>> sandra: mitch mcconnell has spoken out against the president's threat to veto that bill. he says i hope the president really wouldn't veto the bill over that issue. do you support the president start to do so? >> sandra, chuck schumer is misleading about what the senate bill will do. we are debating this very nature, it's far more radical and far more sweeping than a handful of bases. it would require the ripping down of war memorials to dead soldiers from the confederacy in arlington national cemetery or fort bragg. and potentially other cemeteries as well. it would require removing artifacts and exhibits for military museums. it would require the removal of paintings of battle scenes from the civil war from west point and other military installations. that is a sweeping, sweeping proposal that is a little more than historical vandalism. i don't think the president will have to act on that veto threat, and i hope you won't because i want to change that legislation to ensure that we don't take

such radical, radical steps. >> sandra: before i let you go, where is their common grou ground? should those military bases be renamed? >> i think we should take the time in a deliberate and thorough fashion to study the question. we should get the input o of the who have served. many of them not even knowing the origin of the names. now i know that the alumni of fort benning, and they have the time to take surveys and

>> sandra: jack keane shares a similar sentiment and understands a call to change the names of some of these bases, and there are families that are tied to those bases as well. senator tom cotton, thank you for being here with us this morning. >> trace: protesters defacing monuments and tearing down statues of the american generals and presidents aiming to rewrite history instead of celebrating it. if they got their way, with the council the fourth of july? plus new virus hot spots shifting gears as we enter the holiday weekend. what some of the biggest states are doing to control the spread. >> people kind of thought it was over because our numbers are very low. very consistent all through may

taken down yesterday and richmond, virginia, christopher columbus is now gone from outside of city hall and in these days of widespread protest for change in social justice, dan henniker is the fox news contributor. always good to see you. you write in your op-ed that this is a very important fourth of july. it's the first time in a long time that america is in a revolutionary moment. and i'm quoting, the moment the fourth of july was celebrated by everyone in the u.s. and that liz is what we see fit.

>> they've taken down one statue after another, and one thing we will be able to do is eliminate the fourth of july unless we get rid of the counter itself. the fourth of july is a tradition celebrated annually by americans everywhere and there will probably be fewer fourth of july day parades because of the pandemic. but what o is this that we celebrate. what i've been recommending to people in my column is that we spend some time this fourth of july weekend actually reading the text of the declaration itself. it's less than 1500 words a long and we will see what a real revolution sounds like as opposed to one in the streets right now. people right there were working

with a sense of optimistic defiance. john adams, samuel adams and they were creating and building a new nation. the revolutionaries in the elites and affirmation, they were acting as sort of a defeatist attitude towards the american idea and rather than build the nation literally it has been and if you would look at the text of what the original founders wrote and were separating themselves from the united kingdom in 1776. >> trace: i think a lot of people, and they are turned on

these monuments across the country. >> yes, i am. that is why i write that we are in a revolutionary moment right now. i think the protesters themselves probably wouldn't get very far on their own. we seen that many, many interviews with them and invariably they have a very difficult time describing what it is that they want. your ideas are not well shaped, they are diffuse, and they probably peter out after a while. what has made this important is the quick ascent from all of the elites in the country and the media is all affirming that agreement with what these protesters are doing and that is why i think we are in a revolutionary moment. it's a big deal when the establishment begins to agree with people arguing in the streets with what these individuals are doing. i think people are stunned and

shocked about how quickly this has happened. going forward a people are going to have to push back against this movement. >> trace: we have heard that, and, breaking news out on jeffrey epstein in a fox news alert. we are just learning that the fbi has confirmed to fox news that gilly in the maxwell, jeffrey epstein's former girlfriend and accused madame was arrested today at 8:30 a.m. in bradford, new hampshire. she has been arrested. we will get that news to you. we will be right back. to severe psoriasis,

>> sandra: he's apparently going to talk about the economy, fixed jobs numbers coming out with 4.8 million jobs added in june. the unemployment rate dropped to 11.1%. it was maybe in the next minute or so, or 2 minutes. we will bring you that as soon as it happens live, right here.

>> president trump>> sandra: ind like the june job report and it smashed expectations. that's the second straight month of jobs added since they lost a record of 20 and a half million jobs. a triple digit game here on the opening bell, almost 400 points to the upside. this was another shocker. >> it shows that the economy started to bounce back in may and that bounce back accelerated in a big way in the month of june. going through those numbers, those are record numbers and of course we've never lost jobs the way we did in march and april but to gain them back a at this pace did surprise a lot of people. 4.8 million is a huge number and

the unemployment rate which is up about 13% comes back to just above 11%. so that should drive stocks higher from here. remember the nasdaq and all the tech stocks and already coming in, we will see how much further we can keep going. the jobs numbers are terrific right now and there is the sustainability question at the virus outbreak that we've been reporting on, texas, florida, arizona and others have because the governor and no cool officials to pause the reopens and also some individual companies. apple is a good example, it's close 77 stores that have reopened and we close them if you well. so let's watch these numbers but they were much, much better-than-expected and it does show that the american economy was raring to go and ready to bounce back. now let's see if we can keep going. >> sandra: what are you hearing about the stock market?

the comeback from what we have seen, the lows during the pandemic and we were talking about this with the neil cavuto yesterday. the dow is back about 26,000 in these major averages are back within arms reach of record highs again. >> it's been a whirlwind. it's crazy to think, it doesn't seem -- then to come all the way back to 18 and a change to your point, the speed of the movement i think throughout this entire time, from the pandemic and other bounce back from that has been different, even from people that have been in the market and in the investing world for many years, they've never seen movement this fast. days when they move a thousand points or 2,000 points. then obviously preceding that, you had some of the worst times. at the speed of movement is something like we haven't seen.

there are questions about some of the individual stocks and as i mentioned the tech stocks earlier have risen to new highs and maybe they are getting ahead of themselves, we will see. the market has a way of correcting itself, but what's driving it right now is the federal reserve, number one, and all the liquid to see and that the fed has put into the system, and also the virus. so now we reopen that there is but as we said earlier as other states become concerned, there is a question of sustainability. so if that question is out there for the sustainability, it's also out there for the stock market. we have been driven in large part by how the states to over the next few weeks. >> sandra: and of course you just have the president sending out a tweet saying he is going to be giving this press briefing live from the white house. except for 9:30 a.m., and we will go live with begins. it's tough to find much to

criticize in this report, but i am just now getting a statement from chuck schumer's team and he says today's jobs report may just be a slight peak in a much larger valley. unless president trump demonstrates world leadership in fighting this health crisis, and obviously if the pandemic has a resurgence or we have a second wave of this he's calling on the president to lead us through this. i guess you could make the case, and wall street analysts are making a similar case that we don't get a vaccine, we can't fully recover and obviously there's a possibility of a second wave. but obviously that's a way that chuck schumer is looking at this report this morning. >> we've been talking about that and that's exactly what we were mentioning a moment ago. you can take the numbers and put whatever spin you want to on it but all of that is essentially, the virus comes back, and that

will slow down an economic recovery. i think it's interesting what we heard even from some of the wall street firms in recent days, that governors and businesses will be reluctant to have the type of lockdown that we've had in the past which is why you had goldman sachs. the message is if we do the right thing and protect ourselves and protect others, and we won't have to lock down the economy of the way we had. today's news is good. >> okay. we are looking live at the white house press briefing room, we received a two-minute warning so we should be seeing the president a short time from now. i see the president walking out. we will take a quick pause here for a moment as we get this jobs report for june, smashing

expectations. we are going to take a quick pause to let our other fox stations join us from across the country as we await the president. president trump live at the white house, fox news coverage begins now. let's listen. speak to the united states economy added almost 5 million jobs in the month of june shattering expectations. i was watching this morning and the expectations were much lower than that. the stock market is doing extremely well which means jobs. the largest monthly jobs gained in the history of our country. the unemployment rate fell by 12 percentage points down to just about 11%. we are down to the 11% number and we started at a number very much higher than that.

as you know we broke the record last month and broke it again this month in an even bigger way. this news comes on top of may's extraordinary jobs report which was revised upwards by the way to 2.7 million jobs. it was 2.5 last month and that was a record setter but it actually got a little bit better. we revised it and it was revised upward to 2.7 million jobs. for a combined total of 7.5 million jobs created in the last two months and that's a record by many millions of jobs. that 7.5 million jobs created in the last seven months alone. it today's announcement proves that our economy is roaring back, we have some areas where we are putting out the flames of the fires and that's working out very well. i think it's working out very well. i think you'll see that shortly.

in a june we added 2.1 million leisure jobs, and 568,000 education and health care jobs. 357,000 service jobs, these are all historic numbers, and 356,000 manufacturing jobs. manufacturing looks like it's really ready to take off at a level it's never done before. we are bringing manufacturing back to our country and these take a long time to get going and they are now going. so these are historic numbers and i'm really happy when i see 356,000 manufacturing jobs and that's a small number compared to what it will be soon. african-american workers really happily for me with 440,000 jobs

added last month alone which is a record. and the second largest jump will be last month, and what you have if you add the two months together would be 700,000 jobs were african-american workers. and in the last two months, that's a record by a lot. that's a 1.5 million jobs, a record by a lot. 3 million more women were employed in the month of june. for the record and never had a number like that. workers with a high school education or the last me the biggest rise of all. people who have a high school education or have less than a high school education, that dropped 3.3 percentage points

which is the largest drop in recorded history. and we think we are going to have some very good numbers in the coming months and especially as we put the flameout. new business applications have doubled since late march which is a number that is not even thinkable to achieve. this early into a pandemic. the latest ism rate manufacturing report rose ten percentage points with new orders jumping are a remarkable 25 percentage points. consumer confidence, which is great, that's a great number to me because that means competence is really good. it's like a life, if you don't have confidence you are not going to do very well.

that's an all-time high, and much of it is totally fake news. we have consumer confidence that has risen 12 points since april. retail sales surge an astonishing 18%. that's the largest increase in the history of our country and that is a tremendous number. 18%, and what it means to me is jobs.

fewer workers will be dropping out of the labor force and the greatest is being handled. something to think about, china was way early and they are getting under control just now. and they are getting under control. we follow them with this terrible china virus. and we are likewise getting under control some areas that were very hard hit and are now doing very well. some were doing very well and we thought they may be gone and would flare up and we are putting out the fires. but other places were long before us and they are now -- it's got a life. and we are putting out that life because it's a bad life that we are talking about.

all of this suggested that workers are confident about finding a new job. the stock market is soaring with the best gains in over 20 years. in the second quarter of the dow jones increased 18%. if these are not numbers that people have heard about, it's the best in 33 years. the s&p 500 increased by almost 30%, and, a phenomenal number and if you look since the election, the dow went up close to 45%.

and the nasdaq composite we are not getting close 200%. and they want to raise taxes no all of this incredible news is the result of historic actions , they could have stopped it. through the paycheck protection program we have extended over

$520 billion in loans to 5 million small businesses, saving and supporting the jobs of tens of millions of american workers which has been a tremendous success. levels that no one has seen before and some of them will be large businesses. we also rushed urgently needed relief to hardworking taxpayers. and you talk about more money being infused, and, they are

vanquishing and killing the virus and protecting americans at the highest risk which allows those at lower risk to return safely to work, and that is what is happening. our health experts continue to address the temporary hot spots in certain cities and counties and we are working very hard on that, for the relationship of the governors is very good and we made a call, mike pence made a call just yesterday and said, what do you need to, not one governor needed anything, they don't need anything. they have all the medical equipment they can have. thank you u.s. government. they have all the ventilators they have, we are giving many ventilators and selling them in some cases and giving when needed, but we are the ventilator king. we are now producing thousands of ventilators. thousands of ventilators a week. and we are helping other countries and other countries are desperately in need of

ventilators because this is now at 189 countries. it changes all the time, that number. our last count was 18 189 counts and many of them don't have money and almost all of them don't have the capacity to build a ventilator which is hard to build, and we have assembly lines building ventilators. that includes base covering, and it's certainly egregious. we got a great ruling from the

judge, thank you judge, that they can open. the hot spots can be combed quickly and they understand the horrible disease. we've done that his historic things, and we did it even more possibly and more successfully. that comes out just prior to the election so people can see those numbers so fourth-quarter likely's will be extremely good at. and maybe most important link from the standpoint of our country itself, next year will be an historic year. next year will be an incredible year for jobs and growth, and i

do want to comment that boeing is moving along in their process, it's been a very hard process, a very calm ticketed process but they have made tremendous gains and they are going for approvals they are also starting to do some real business so i wanted to congratulate boeing. it was the greatest company in the world, i used to say it was the greatest company in the world and i want to say that boeing has made tremendous progress in a short period of time. other companies, i don't even have to talk about because they are all setting records, virtually every one of our great companies is setting records. so i want to thank everybody for being here today. these are historic numbers in a time when a lot of people would

have wilted. and it is an honor to be a president, thank you very much, thank you. >> let me just make some additional comments. first of all we couldn't be more pleased with the results. at today again between this month and last month that's about 8 million jobs, and working with congress. i think as you know people thought we would have 30 million people unemployed but fortunately we never got to that. so 8 million jobs back, but our work is not done. our work won't be done until every single american who lost her job because of the covid gets back to work. i want to think the senate and the job for working with us and there's no question that these

programs are working. >> sandra: that is steven mnuchin the president's secretary of treasury. we just heard an impromptu press conference this morning touting the largest monthly jobs report on record, he said. biggest gains in u.s. history and the president talking about historic gains and historic numbers after june revealed 4.8 million jobs added to the u.s. economy and the unemployment rate fell to 11.1% and that did beat most expectations. that was life from the white house and his economic advisor larry kudlow is coming up on the fox news channel in a bit. please stay tuned, this fox news station for continuing coverage of the story. i'm sandra smith in new york. our coverage continues here on the fox news channel, thanks for joining us. the president just wrapping up

his impromptu press conference there at the white house. a day early, it typically comes in on a friday, the first friday after the month concludes but it's a day early because of the holiday weekend. and those are the numbers he was touting. in one month, the unemployment rate with that headline ever dropping to 11.1% in both of those smashed wall street expectations and that's why you turn focus to the right corner of the screen. is he street reacting positively to the dow at 138 points which is a gain of nearly 2%. trace gallagher and mike holly joining us this morning as well, connell mcshane, and guys the president took the opportunity took a chance to see the economy. these comments are assigned to

the economy beginning in may and continuing in june, and the president talks about the stock market coming back to indicate their nasdaq with a record high in the case of the dow and still we had fallen so much that that is one we get the chance to bounce back as aggressively as we have. on the jobs front, 22 million jobs were lost in the month of march and april as the president talked about seven and a half million have been added back since then and that is progress. it does point out that we still have work to do and the president talked about that when a number of times he referenced putting the flames out. obviously talking about the states where we've seen some of the virus is coming back or reemerging and we can manage our way through it better this time and help one have to shut down the economy as aggressively.

>> trace: they've talked about those numbers being huge and we have a lot of other experts saying, look at these job numbers and take them with a stockpile of salt because of what you're talking about. the sustainability, and the question then becomes you have a lot of states in texas, arizona, california that are pulling back and a lot of those jobs we thought were going to come back online fully were kind of now back on the bench if you well. the question then becomes those jobs numbers may be coming out about the same time as a president was hoping the economic numbers would be so good in the second quarter. september jobs numbers may not be as good as the president was hoping for. >> the economy as you know can be everything in politics, and that's come up the white house is aware of that and that's why

the comment made yesterday. in terms of more stimulus that might be needed to come up we know have been pushing for direct payments to individuals in the president came out and say he supports that. of course there is some negotiating to do, and they are coming back as aggressively as they are, and you know they have to manage their way through this. the next few weeks if not the next few months are quite uncertain because you'd just don't know how the virus will develop in those states. >> sandra: at the president talking about what he forecasted

>> sandra: fox news alert, a brand-new jobs report out for the month of june in its most expectations, 11.1% with the headline unemployment rate of 4.8 million jobs added as this

economy tries to recover from the coronavirus pandemic. they took a moment just a short time ago to top that jobs report from the white house. speak to this is the largest monthly jobs again in the history of our country. the unemployment rate fell by more than two percentage points down to just about 11%. they broke it to this month in an even bigger way. >> sandra: that is a president touting that jobs report. trace gallagher, good morning to you. i'm sandra smith and charles payne as well. >> trace: charles, it's fascinating because you have this whole idea coming in, the

president spoke for exactly 15 minutes. he didn't take any questions and you would think he would want to take up more of a victory lap with these job numbers coming up. but i'm curious charles, if you wonder if the administration is a bit concerned about coronavirus, and these numbers are likely out today and won't be the same numbers we see come august 1st. your thoughts charles? >> i have to tell you. we lose 8 million jobs, and the reason, that's the best job support then. the very first question was why did the black unemployment rate go higher?

and in fact, it was an amazing 283 black americans to get jobs but more of them came into the labor force which skewed that unemployment number. and that's the most, and i was looking at this before we came on. she we are asking about the jobless claims, and it ticked up a little bit. these numbers go up and down in the focus is never going to be in these press conferences on the pluses which is a shame because what this country needs right now more than anything else is to appreciate that we are heading in the right direction. every single american needs to have a glimmer of hope, a glimmer of hope that they can

get their lines back and that includes everyone. so when i see these reports, and they talk about somehow blacks didn't get jobs. what they got 404,000 last month and that's a record number, 7.3 million americans in the last two months got jobs without a mandatory mask from the federal government. so yes. let's wear a mask and let social distance, but the idea of talking this down, or trying to project, tell us as you see it then because we are going to talk to larry kudlow coming up, who he has been optimistic about this recovery. they did not predict that this jobs number would be the strong. you just heard the president

make another forecast. we are going to see extremely strong economic growth so tell us how you see it, charles. you are knee deep. >> i think they are actually, and these are numbers that go as high as 30 or 50%. they are going to be bumps in the road, and we want to learn how to live with the covid and coronavirus and when bars reopen in some of these places, and when these places reopen it will

be less packed. we did a lot of dumb things as a country on an individual basis and that was because we wanted our freedom. but we have learned quickly and we are going to adjust quickly. the economy is adjusting, and on the side note, we had great news from pfizer yesterday, i don't have that to my calculations because it's not here yet but that could be the ultimate gift that changes everything. that sooner rather than later. >> i want to play one more sound bite from the president and they get your take. >> president trump: in june we added 2.1 million and leisure,

and these are all historic numbers. 356,000 manufacturing jobs and manufacturing looks like it's really ready to take off at a level it's never been before. >> trace: some very influential artist saying look at the president's big push seriously economy. democrats are very afraid of the economy booming again, and the economy booms back and it's a big problem for the democrats. >> it is a big problem for the democrats. i think what -- they are doomed. they will do as their jobs and lose their homes and there was absolutely no hope. before we get in those voting booths, it's going to be amazi

amazing. and they should probably focus in other areas and jump on the bandwagon. i think we are going to be so far ahead where the expert said we were going to be, and it seems to push your buttons because you reacted pretty fiercely. politico makes a similar point in a headline this morning. it's probably worse than reported as states closed down again, getting back to that point with a clear picture about the u.s. economy. the jobs that are coming out

today will fail to capture the latest devastation so there are economists out there that are saying that, charles. but here's the president just a moment ago touting that jobs report and talking about just how strong he sees the economy today. speak to today's numbers prove that our economy is coming back. we have some areas that are putting out the flames of the fires, and i think it's working out very well. i think you'll see that shortly. >> sandra: but trials you know a lot of this recovery including the fact that we provided being hits by this. we need to extend that, and do we need to offer that to that? >> we have 30 million people who

are unemployed or underemployed and all i'm saying is we celebrate incremental victories. if we lived our life the way that political headlines just came out, if you won the world series you don't celebrate because maybe next year he won't win. if you have a promotion at work, you don't go home and tell your children because maybe that's the last promotion you will got it. imagine living your life the way these headlines make you feel every time there is something, we should at least take a day to celebrate and embrace. make some adjustments and don't let people make so much more money being unemployed. they need it one more knowledge. >> all right. charles payne. >> he said he took a swipe at

joe biden and said if these taxes go back up which joe biden says he wants to do, charles payne, it's always great to see you. >> there is the dow and we will see more of trials and the fox business network. let's bring in a fox news contributor, katie pavlich is here. marie harf. no matter how you slice that these are fantastic numbers. you can see that people are getting back to work but chuck schumer says, well, this might just be a slight peak in a much larger valley. >> certainly we are very happy

for those people that got jobs back. all americans are democrats or republicans and that should go without saying. we have to be cautious though because the reason we have such a big job is we are in such a deep hole. so many americans, millions and millions of americans who are still hurting. the reference week we got for these job numbers today was mid-june. at that time infections were low and places will be opening but yesterday we shattered the record for new coronavirus infections and places are going to start shutting down again, we've already seen that. we need to have a great assault here as we look forward and the last thing we will say is, it's so interesting to me that steven mnuchin let off his comments by saying, thinking congress. the reason we've done so well with job growth is congressional action and support to americans, as you were just discussing, congress debates to do more. it was interesting to me that steven mnuchin really relied on

that because so many americans are still hurting and they want and they need more relief. >> it's a great day for the american people and given the pattern that we've seen so far i'm hopeful that this will continue. it is true that you have a number of states around the country now mandating additional shutdowns but it's interesting, and actually the government as being arbitrary in their decisions and they haven't given us any proof as to why we specifically have to shut down. i think it was really important that we don't go back to this argument that the only thing that matters are coronavirus cases. we've seen a number of other consequences as a result of the shutdown whether it's mental health or, seeing these numbers come in today, given the administration's balance between

opening the economy and finding solutions to fighting the coronavirus, it seems like this will continue. and as you thought larry kudlow say, we have a long way to go. there are a number of people who won't get their jobs back, but given the timing and beating the market by almost 2 million positions, that's a good thing given that these federal programs are starting to run out as we see the economy coming back. we are several months away and a lot can happen in that time. they are saying it's going to get better from here. >> we are all lot of -- a lot can happen. yesterday a poll came out that showed 75% of americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction. joe biden is up and meet every

major poll including swing states that matter and this will tighten certainly but the american people seem to be saying right now that they want stability and they want competency and that's why right now the trump team and republicans should be scared. >> the trump campaign has race on its hands. it does show joe biden making a lot of gains in places where president trump was previously a head up but we are so far away from the election, we have months to go. right now the majority of the country believes it's going in the wrong direction and plenty of time for things to turn around. the jobs report today certainly gives the president of the wind at its back to >> trace: police in seattle clearing out the city's so-called chop its own after a series of violent incidents including two deadly

a lot of people said to come up that should have been fully expected it, they knew what was going on inside of that chop zone. >> we were on the air at midnight one night talking about this, so-called, at the time, autonomous zone which has now

since changed into the chop zone. this has not happened in any american city, this is an embarrassment to seattle. and that is what happens with the chief of police. after these demonstrators took over a police station there. and, and the mayor it took weeks to get on board and it, the business owners had been calling 911 and had been calling everybody, because they were absolutely appalled by this.

>> the situation was getting worse and worse and i question why it took them so long to act and why did they with us like good taxpaying and law-abiding people are just collateral damage. >> i think there is accountability for leaders of the city. >> business owners and the residents felt terrorized by the people they called and complained repeatedly and got zero response. >> it was so tragic that two people, to the citizens to die. the other day they had a 14-year-old child who was shot and wounded, a 16-year-old child who was killed while driving towards that zone. they were intimidated by this and the city leaders, the city leaders in that city of seattle

failed these people again. i hate to be redundant but the man needs to be recalled. and that's going on in the city. >> i want to play a sound bite from the mirror because when all was said and done this is what she finally came out with. >> despite our continued efforts to escalate and bring community messages and including personally having conversations with demonstrator organizations on friday, the deteriorating conditions and repeated gun violence required her to immediately to address public safety concerns. >> trace: it's business owners from day one were saying, it's not right. we cannot make money this way and the residents couldn't get to their cars or to their homes, i couldn't let the kids out in the yard. this was deteriorating from day

one and the mirror comes out day 16 or 17 or whatever it is and said it really kind of went south. she knew from the beginning and i am saddened that we had to have death in that area and we had armed guards who wouldn't even let police go into the ar area. the mayor again needs to be ashamed of herself. this should have never have been in a major metropolitan city. i'm deeply concerned because i'm watching new york and i think that very well could be out of control. >> the lawsuits and the race for

the white house is heating up and so is the race for campaign cash. new numbers show joe biden raking in more money than president trump for the second straight month. so what does this mean for the election? plus, this. crowds cheering and richmond as the city takes down the statue of stonewall jackson. is it time to turn the page or are we losing the remainder of our nation's history? donna brazile will be with us and she will weigh in on that and more next. >> everyone is gathering together to save black lives matter and that supremacy should not exist in this country. to severe psoriasis,

>> president trump: american workers really happily for me made historic gains on 404,000

jobs. >> trace: president trump a short time ago touting rebound in american employment. the company added a record 4.8 million jobs for the month of june. and those job numbers very much at the same time, we had chuck schumer coming out. the democrats are greatly concerned. we like to see the economy come back and no one would like to see americans hurting.

and we want americans to be safe and secure, and that should be one country with the same message. and that's a monumental day. and they study the civil war and see civil war monuments, it's a tourism thing. what's your thought on that monument coming down? >> well, my maternal side from the state of virginia, and it does not spring up and the

immediate aftermath of the civil war, and that's a values, some of these monuments are from these monuments of hate. i believe we have this public discussion in this public debate, we have decided to remove and place in the museum the statue of robert e. lee. equal justice and i believe we should do it in a peaceful way, in a way that transcends the past.

and we could together walk into the brighter future. and it's a symbol of a bygone era and that's a moment to bring the country together and not tear us apart. >> trace: what about going forward, what about the confederate names for military bases around the country, the house armed services committee passed an amendment saying they should strip those military names and president trump says it's a very bad idea. but even mitch mcconnell had this to say. watched and i will get your reaction. >> i would hope the president wouldn't veto the bill over this issue. to me this is quite different, from trying to airbrush the capital of every city. >> trace: across the country

there seems to be very little resistance. does that surprise you? >> it doesn't surprise me. my dad served in the first integrated, the u.n. metal came home, and i watched my dad struggle each and every day as a patriot. no one recognized his patriotism, his love of country, because he was black. give us an opportunity to love every american, regardless of race and regardless of background, regardless of who and what we are and not continue to inflect or inject that pain into our system. i think this is that moment where we cannot be divided but

really come together. i have struggled all week with seeing these symbols come down. as you can imagine, we had to send a survivor that in my own family i have confederate relatives. we reached out to them in love, and i want to understand how we can all come together. some of my white relatives, we have been able to talk. not in bitterness or in pain, and we need to find ways to do that. >> trace: donna brazile, always good to see you. thank you. >> always go to, god bless you. >> sandra: meanwhile many protesters across the country continued to call to defund the

police. that's already been down this road that did defund the police. forcing it to cut police by ha half. 150. veteran cops left and police shootings went up. narcotics, traffic, reduced or eliminated and a former officer. now the mayor says the departments only have the manpower to respond to crimes or progress. >> there was virtually zero policing. crime ran amok. especially traffic and speed limits. they believed they were absolutely unenforced. you break into a house and that's going to take the

officers 20 or 30 minutes to get there. >> trace: burned out cops against them mentality. that someone who has been there. the response times go up, and that's the public's trust. >> they want to be able to say, i want to be able to walk out to my car and see that it's still there. i want to go home and not find my front door kicked in. they want to feel safe. and can you do that by disbanding the police department party funding the police department? cops and it you still need uniforms to help with their crimes and detectives to solve

them. >> sandra: okay, william la jeunesse, thank you. >> trace: lawmakers demanding answers over reports that offered bounties to militants to kill u.s. troops in afghanistan and this morning, they may get some answers. that's next. my bladder leak pad?

intel because it was not verified. chad pergram, on capitol hill live. >> good morning. this will be the biggest briefing that we've had to get on this question as to whether or not there was a price on the head of u.s. forces serving in afghanistan. they remove u.s. forces from afghanistan and that was stable. here's who is coming in capitol hill. the briefer of national intelligence john ratcliffe, gina haskell in the director of the national security agency paul neck paul nakasone says the intelligence was credible. >> there may be a reluctance that may be more true with respect to prudent and potent suppression russia.

there will be other key briefings, all speaker nancy pelosi in the house minority leader kevin mccarth mccarthy, senate minority leader chuck schumer. the three chairs are ranking their minority members of the house and intelligence committees and that's what constitutes the gang of eight. senator lindsey graham is a part of that group but she says democrats are trying to stir the pot. >> where were all these democrats when benghazi was on fire? he wasn't briefed and there was no consensus. as a matter of fact the most reliable form of intelligence gathered around this episode was against russia giving money to the television. >> now the white house indicates that they think there were "rogue intelligence agents working at against the intelligence. i spoke with one on capitol hill who said they had seen some of this and thought the president

should have been informed. and, and that's been described as something undiplomatic. >> chad pergram, live on capitol hill. >> sandra: fox news alert on this thursday morning, on your money. u.s. employers adding a record 4.8 million jobs last month as the unemployment rate did dip to 11.1%. so can the economy keep that momentum at the coronavirus research is in some states? white house economic advisor larry kudlow is our economic advisor and he standing by and will join us and limits. >> this is really good news, it means america is coming back economically and people are going back to work. this confidence that you can actually open the country apps are used everywhere...

>> president trump: it's roaring back, it's coming back extremely strong. we have some areas where we are putting out the flames or the fires. 80% of small businesses are now open. 80%, and we think we will have some very good numbers in the coming months. >> sandra: president trump last hour talking up today's job numbers and u.s. employers adding 4.8 million jobs to their payrolls last month. and of the unemployment rate dropping to 11.1%. right now wall street is reacting to that news and you can see our rally of 231 points. it is time for our headliner this morning. white house economic advisor larry kudlow joining us now. thanks for your time this morning. so first, tell us what this jobs report means for our economic

recovery and coming back from this pandemic. it's a spectacular number. it basically has created 8 million jobs in the last three months, and then the good spirit about this, and all is not solved. it you have to continue to work. and i just want to add to it that not only the top line was spectacular, black african-american jobs, 400,000 job increase, a 700,000 job increase for african-americans. hispanics are up 1.5 million in this report and women of 3 million in this report, the rescue package plays a role here

because so many of those were laid off with temporary laid layoffs and furloughs. that number continues to decli decline. so folks are connected to their company. at the ppp program worked. brilliantly designed, i think it will continue to pay off. and the fake nation is that this consumer confidence is up. that's because the big factor needs boost. we included it in the president's remarks today. the conference for it, consumer confidence just looking at my

notes, the overall confidence index is up 12 points which is a huge number. and here's one, consumer expectations of jobs, six months ahead. okay, they look forward six months about jobs and it's reached an all-time high for the history of that index which goes back a good long ways. people are getting more confident. there are issues out there, and you have to go back to basics and there's no questions and that is a job number with a powerful powerful trend. period >> sandra: there's honestly some concern even though this jobs report is obviously spectacular, there's a concern about a spike in cases. john hopkins just yesterday reporting the largest single day increase in coronavirus cases yet.

talking about some of these states maybe got ahead of themselves with their reopen plans. do they have things under control? >> if you have to pull back on bars and indoor restaurants, so be it. you need to do what you want to do. the second part, and the president mentioned this yesterday and today, we have to go back to the basic mitigation guidelines, masks or face coverings in these hot spots where it's appropriate. are you have to keep the right social distancing and the enormous testing and that's so

essential to these hot spot places and finally, personal hygiene, and cleansers and so forth. >> sandra: larry, i wish we had more time with you. please come back soon. we are up against a heartbreak starting a new hour. larry, thank you. >> trace: another fox news alert, live look at the white house where we expect to hear from the president minutes from now at an event honoring the spirit of america.mi stay with us. that's me. our va streamline refi takes just one call to start the process. there's no appraisal, so no one comes to your house. that's me. there's no income verification and no out of pocket costs. that's me. record low mortgage rates have dropped even lower. nobody works harder for veterans than my team at newday usa.

more updates coming this hour. as house intelligence officials get ready to briefed congressional leaders. this hour on reports of russian bounties paid for killing american troops. welcome to a brand-new hour of america's newsroom, i'm sandra smith. >> trace: sandra, good morning. i'm trace gallagher. what's been called a spirit of america showcase at 11:30 a.m. eastern, the russian bounty intel. they spoke out about those reports saying if they are true, russia could face consequences. speak to anyone else would hear about it that was involved. and i'm here to protect them.

that something that presented to me. >> sandra: we will hear from the president again a short time from now. good morning. >> this morning the gang of eight will be led by the directors of the nsa and the cia. these are people in the intelligence community and not in the white house. the questions that they are going to be answering is, many of the gang of eight members are have already shared their opinions about it. they said this morning that this is the most reliable form of intelligence together around this episode was actually against russia giving money to taliban linked militants. >> i think the system got it right, you had contradictory intelligence and we increased force protection just to be cautious.

but i can't imagine breaking the president of the united states about this allegation given the nature of the intelligence. now, where were all these democrats when benghazi was on fire? >> house speaker nancy pelosi is saying the exact opposite. she believes that president trump should have been briefed on something of this magnitude regardless of the strength of the intelligence. >> the white house has done a con on saying, well, because all of the agencies of intelligence have not signed off on this, it wasn't worthy of the president's attention. and anyplace is worthy of the president's attention even if it was caused by his friend latimer put in. the >> sandra: "the new york times" which broke this story about a week ago is putting a price on it.

president trump has been continuing to call it fake news and not just another hoax. the briefing room which wrapped up about an hour ago and i would not expect them to address it again when he speaks in about 3 minutes from now at the spirit of america showcase and that will be starting at the exact same time as this gang of eight briefing on capitol hill. >> we will be watching all of this. let's get to doug mckelway who's live in washington with all of this. >> we are standing by where we expect him to make an appearance perhaps later today. this great information coming from our justice department, and let me read from jake's email

which i just sent our way. fox news, jason tarter was arrested at his residence tuesday morning without incident and charged with destruction of federal property. these sources add that mr. tarter has connections to antifa and was in a leadership role on the night of june 22nd where a large group of protesters tried to pull down the statue of andrew jackson in lafayette park. we also know that atf agents are offering rewards of up to $10,000 for destruction of statues. rewards are also being offered for the arson of st. john's church and other structures. >> the afl-cio wasn't lit on fire as part of an arson. there's a starbucks arson fire, mcdonald's arson fire, and a few others. we are looking for people or the person responsible for setting the fire as well.

from that city's monument. and the monument removals continue today. that statue is erected in 1929 and the loss the last of five confederate monuments there. the three remaining city-owned statues must also go. and in columbus, ohio, take a look at this. after removal of a giant statue of that city's namesake, christopher columbus. no word on whether that city will change its name. back here in d.c. we know that several other eros have been made i in the attempted destruction of the andrew jackson memorial in addition to the one we just mentioned, a man by the name of graeme lloyd turned himself into authorities in portland last week.

maryland is also under arrest. perhaps more to come, we will be watching. >> trace: doug mckelway with breaking news for us in d.c. >> sandra: all right, let's bring a dana perino, anchor of "the daily briefing" and cohost of "the five." >> thanks for having me. >> sandra: as far as this debate continues, and obviously this debate rages on. >> it does, and i think that the messaging for elected leaders shouldn't really be that hard. i think the fringe on both sides are hijacking the debate where most americans could be reasonable and say, look. can we first of all have a civilized discussion? can we be dignified about any

changes that we want to make? could we follow the processes that we have in place and could we do that american thing called a voting? one of the things that happened this week is in mississippi, the state legislature there voted to change their flag. there was still a confederate symbol on their flag. the governor assigning the legislation that passed, and you can get things done. i think that a lot of people out there are saying, this vandalism, they are not for that. and if there consequences as you have seen, and when i was a kid my mom and dad would take my sister and i on road trips, that's basically what we did. we would go and see our family in wyoming and we would see a thought at every plaque. i look back on that and i think, but my dad was doing was

teaching us. some of those stories are hard out in the west. many native american tribes were treated unfairly. so instead of brushing that away and not talking about that, my parents he is the opportunity to teach us about the history of our country and to be empathetic to people who are defendants of either native american tribes, african-american people, hispanic or whatever it might be, i think there is room for civilized discussion if we allow it. >> sandra: i think many, that such an important part of our history and, i know you had this discussion yesterday so let's play some of that sound. >> i hope the president would veto the bill over this issue. in the bill requirement i think of a three year study about

changing the names, to me, this is quite different from trying to airbrush the capital of every statute. >> sandra: so he is talking about the vetoing of the sent defense bill. that includes the military bases. >> i think mitch mcconnell is trying to say, the president is able to say the troops got funded et cetera but, it's a three year study to see if the military bases named for confederate generals should be changed? i think that's a reasonable discussion to have. it's a three year study, so why veto a bill over that when the democrats can say that you vetoed a bill to support confederate generals towards traders of this country and you didn't sign the bill to the

troops. senator mcconnell is in a campaign of his own and he is up for reelection. his team went up for an ad specifically addressing our national heritage and it's very nuanced. it's not a difficult message to deliver, people are just willing to step back and not be so political about it. >> sandra: i want to transition to campaign cash because we have some brand-new numbers out from the biden campaign. $141 million for the month of june. if you are looking at second quarter bringing in $282 million, they win the money race, so what does this mean for 2020? they have had quite a deficit at the dnc and all the biden side of things. the other thing is, the president has so much cash on

hand in the bank, that the number that you don't see in that screen. so no doubt, a good month for joe biden but neither of these candidates is going to have a problem with figuring out how to spend money. they are awash in money, plenty of money to go around. they should just have to decide should they print that 40th new bumper sticker or not. this is brad parscale's tweet, huge fund-raising any single month we have 30,000,947,000,000 total parades. dana, final thoughts? >> i think that the biden team

with status say the same, and we are forcing you to spend money in states where you didn't expect to have to spend money. the trump team has been set up for this for inauguration day and things will differently tighten up. money won't be a problem for either candidate. >> sandra: dana perino, great to see you. thank you, dana. >> trace: it's new information on the federal indictment against a long time jeffrey epstein associate gillingham maxwell. you know, the madam. the charges she is facing is related to child sex trafficki sex trafficking. i'm now president trump is slamming china's response to the coronavirus. why the congressman who heads the china task force says beijing could have stopped the pandemic before it spread around the world.

>> president trump: we have implemented an aggressive strategy to vanquish and kill the virus and to protect americans at the highest risk. and we will allow those at lower risk to return safely to work. that's what happening. you get used to pet odors in your car.

we are told maxwell will be held at the mcc at the same manhattan federal jail where epstein was held and found dead in an

apparent suicide. she will be prosecuted by the southern district of new york, the same jurisdiction that brought charges against jeffrey epstein. according to the federal indictment maxwell faces six federal charges including four counts of conspiracy, enticement and transport. in 1984 and 1997 maxwell helps to "groom, quote and colors, and the victims were as young as 14. prosecutors say maxwell enticed these girls and young women to epstein residence as a around the world and in some instances she would even participate in the sexual abuse. that's lying under oath twice in 2016. twice she recruited minors methodically building rapport with these girls taking them out to movies and shopping, asking them about their families and

school life. after building out reports she would try to mobilize sexually sexual abuse or be present for sacks acts between epstein and the minors. she encouraged them to give him massages. the abuse took place in epstein's new york mansion, according to prosecutors his estate in palm beach, florida, is a branch in mexico and her personal home in london. the charges against maxwell are based on the accusations from three unnamed victims, one who was 14 at the time and the other two that were under the age of 18. in april of 2016 maxwell gave a deposition in which she told federal prosecutors "i don't know what you are talking about, when asked about sexual abuse involving jeffrey epstein. again that year she was interviewed by prosecutors in which she said she was unaware of epstein having sacks with anyone in the home while she was there. on news and maxwell's arrest in a statement for one of the

attorneys, david boys telling fox news "this is a great day for justice. maxwell faces the criminal reckoning she deserves. the whereabouts of max will have been under speculation for about a year now and she is the daughter of a british socialite and tycoon. it was thought that it was outside of this country, never to be found again. but in the end, arrested this morning in a small town in new hampshire just under five hours north of new york city. >> sandra: our press conference where those charges will be formally announced happening at noon eastern time today. bryan llenas on that story. florida is reporting a new number, 10,109 cases. that's a new record, of covid-19. more than 500 about the previous high set last weekend. i next guest had an op-ed. good news, bad news and where we

go next. former cdc director tom bredon calling on all americans to practice effective measures to contain the virus. he joins us now via skype. what do we do about the problem that we are now seeing in some of these states where they are spiking? >> the bad news is it's going to take a while for cases to come down. if we look at new york city, it's a couple of months before we came down and that requires people staying apart. we can be socially connected but we need to be physically distanced. that means when we are indoors we need to be not near other people and if we are we need to wear a mask. the three ws, wear a mask, wash your hands and watch your distance. especially when we go into a holiday weekend, remember out-of-doors is much safer than indoors. so yes, we can be outdoors at a barbecue and stay apart from others but if you have to be

close to others then wear a ma mask. >> sandra: so we got that, social distancing end of mask wearing measures are continuing to be enforced across the country. for the most part we do see a lot of people who are willing to engage in a good behavior. so what do we do about kids getting back to school? this is the question. you say to do all these things but we are still seeing numbers go up. you just heard from the white house a press conference where steven mnuchin said we want to get kids back to school in the fall but we want to know if we can do it safely. >> i completely agree with that and i think school is so important. it's important for our kids as education, health and all of our future so all of us need to work together. if we pulled together by staying physically apart, if we hold the course, wear masks and wash our hands and watch our distance, we can cool down this pandemic enough so that they can go to a

safer school environment. i think it's not a question of whether we open schools in the fall all of us we have lots of people in the indoor space a long period of time. what we are seeing across many states, particularly southern states is continued explosive spread and we have to stay the course of keeping separate to protect ourselves and our kids future. >> sandra: it's just so hard wherever you turn to read it, get your news, what you decide is good news or bad news. that's what you are writing about inner peace and where we go next. this is from the foxnews.com

article. it is only one enemy, the virus and we need to overcome the politicization. that has happened. you have seen this get political and you have seen that debate happening across the country. so what do we do about that? >> you know the expression divide and conquer, to the extent the virus divides us, it will conquer us. up to the extent that we work together we can make progress. it's been said that microbes outnumber us. that's stopping it and spreading it from finding cases quickly. it's not just about the number of cases, it's how well we are testing. whether we are supporting people so they don't infect their families and whether we are wanting contact. so we don't inadvertently affect their families and others. we can stop this.

communities around the u.s. are doing a good job if we support each other and work with each other, we can get this virus into much better control and that will allow us to get our economies back and to start school in the fall. >> sandra: people just fear another shutdown. it was so hard for american families, people out of work and the economic told of this took on our country. are you optimistic as we head into the fall when people go back inside and hopefully kids go back to school? are you optimistic or are you fearing the second wave? >> i think we will have multiple clusters and outbreaks. the future is in our hands. it is how well we ensure that we physically distanced, wear a mask and wash our hands, how well we do strategic testing so we find outbreaks quickly and how will we isolate people including people who can't stay

home. end and they are willing to do their part to protect ourselves, each others and our economy. this is not about health versus economics they are going to go out if they are scared. we won't feel more safe until we are safe. >> sandra: then you see what's happening with some of these states having to shut down bars again for the second time. arizona, california, colorado, idaho, michigan and texas, some of those reopening plans have had to be rolled back because of

the spike in cases that we have seen. >> and on that note the u.s. is hitting new records for coronavirus cases in a single day. according to johns hopkins university more than 50,000 new infections were reported yesterday as many states struggled to maintain the spread of the virus moving to shut down restaurants and bars. phil keating in miami beach with more. >> just 30 minutes ago, an all-time high of more than 10,000 new cases of covid-19. across much of the sunshine state and 700 miles of beaches, today is the last day for the entire july 4th weekend where people can come out and enjoy the sand, the surf and the sunshine amid growing concerns about holiday community spread. there will be no fireworks, those are being canceled all over the state as well and

beaches will be off limits but where that is not being done say on the fort myers beach on the west coast of florida, there is a grim warning of the weekend consequence. >> they pile on top of each other on the county pure, they pile on top of each other in the county park and it will be up and down all weekend. so god help us all. >> in miami beach the curfew has also returned, nobody out on the streets or out of their house after midnight. if you are caught not wearing a mask you now face a $50 fine in the city of miami. it is now also, and we need to treat this like a hurricane. the hurricane is coming to my

community and we don't care what party you are. we act responsibly for ourselves and for our neighbors and that's what has to happen. >> nationwide the infection curve is not flat but rising, 36 states increasing a positive test. they are said to be disappearing fast and elective surgeries are now being canceled once again. they believe it really started during the last time we had a three-day holiday weekend. a memorial day weekend at the end of may which of course came after about two months of people sheltering at home. lots of cabin fever and a lot of people went out to backyard

gatherings and that's when we think these numbers started increasing. >> sandra: fox news alert, president trump about to speak again this morning at what is being called a spirit of america showcase. that is scheduled to begin just a few moments from now. we will bring you the president's remarks live when he began speaking. stay tuned, that's just ahead.

>> trace: at moments from now top intelligence officials will brief the gang of eight on reports that russia paid bounties to tell a man fighters to kill american soldiers in afghanistan. our next guest is already received a white house briefing on intelligence. with us now is texas congressman michael mccullough. he also chairs the china task force. good to see you. it's my understanding that you say that one of the intelligence agencies and you won't say which one, this is one that's not valid and number two, not actionable. >> what you have is threads of intelligence coming in and not to kill american troops. this would be significant.

reportedly after some marines were killed, and they had some detainees. the intelligence came out but another intelligence agency had a very strong dissenting view about the credibility of the intelligence itself. so when you have a diversion or different point of view within the ic itself, that's a career intelligence officer. if it's not -- it has a low degree of confidence and at that point, it may not be actionable intelligence and why they would choose not to brief the president. i think the president did deserve probably to know that this was out there. only because the timing of the

piece and that they targeted american troops and confirmed they were among those with multiple thousands of dollars. they confirmed that cash length of these bounties were paid. there was a raid on seal team six with 18 arrests and there were two of these detainees which were reported and, of course they find a bag

of cash with $500,000. that's very significant. if you are talking about this coming from russia, again russia has been in afghanistan since 1979. they've been up to no good, and their connection with the taliban. this is a significant departure and, i think that would warrant the present knowing about this, but again a career officer deciding the degree of confidence was not high enough. we are finding that the chinese had enough info to warrant a full public health response as early as mid-december 2019 that they actively engaged in a cover-up to limit the spread of information about the virus. the effort included punishing doctors, disappearing journalists, censoring the

internet and despite warnings from the collaborating center, the world health organization named for weeks that human to human transmission was not occurring. the chinese covered this up and that cost tens of thousands, maybe millions of lives. who knows, final thoughts. there's a new sorrows like a the world health organization gets completely duped by president xi on the communist party and i think in large part because potatoes is their candidate to head up the w.h.o. the parents the lie that it's not human to human, even though his own w.h.o. expert was telling him it's human to human.

15 million people travel out of wuhan, and at this point in time, it could've been said that it went from an epidemic to a global pandemic. i think china is responsible, the communist party is responsible in the need to be held accountable. >> trace: you also said the state originate in wuhan lab. it wasn't genetically modified or genetically engineered. thank you for joining us. there are a couple of theories on that so thank you so much. >> as a group he made may badly need

up

>> sandra: fox news alert, 15 minutes before the noon hour on the east coast, and the president you can see live at the white house in this hour. this is the spirit of america event and we are told he will be making remarks from this event, not a lot of detail given on what's happening there but you can see a lot of grills set up and american stars and stripes on some of the products they are at th as a president to his. a baseball bat and there's a podium set up in the grand foyer there so he could turn around at any moment and begin speaking. we will have those remarks from you live when the president begin speaking. picking up a baseball bat and taking a swing. when the president begin speaking we will go to his remarks live. stay tune for that. >> trace: with the election

day now four months away and president trump trailing in the polls, many conservatives are calling for a a change in strategy by the white house. my next guest wrote an opinion piece entitled "trump's rhetoric is driving away suburban swing voters and he needs to win." mike tyson is with us now, great to see you. hold on one second, got the president speaking. oh, no. sorry, i got duped there. he's about to speak. if the president wants to know why joe biden is beating him in swing states quoting here, he need look no further than his rally in tulsa on june 20. the president did not want once mentioned george floyd or solidarity with peaceful protesters marching for racial justice. it contained barely were designed to persuade anyone who was not already persuaded to

support the president, pretty tough words. >> i want him to succeed. the achilles' heel he seems to have is he's very focused on firing up his base and has not made a lot of effort to win over new people to his base. and people who are doing better because of his policies and might vote for him. in 2016, his basis is very fired up. he won the suburbs by 5% and gave him the margin of victory in ohio, florida and other states. right now joe biden's winning is over by 5%, and they don't want to be associated with tweets of old men. right now he's doing more to divide us on race then unite us

and that includes a lot of trump supporter's 2/3 of the country. he has to temper his -- i'm all for law and order and i'm all for being tough on rioters and he's absolutely right on that but he has to love and it with expression of empathy and compassion for racial injustice because he's got a great record. >> trace: it's interesting because you also mention the economy, pointing out that the economy really is. that by the way is the president walking live through this event looking at some of the memorabilia. he was swinging a baseball bat a short time ago. the economy is recovering a much sooner than expected but they are afraid that the economy might really expand. in fact a pollster, and i'm quoting here, it keeps me up at night. the idea that maybe somehow we would move beyond the zone we are in now and the question is still there about who is best to recover the economy. it seems hard to believe that we will be there in four months but

that is a potential problem and that's the democratic poster talking about the economy being a problem, if it is booming, late october. >> he has a lot of reason to be losing asleep because the economy will be building come october. the last jobs report was 2.7 million jobs which was a record ten times normal job growth and recovery. this jobs report was 4.8, with just 20 times the normal job growth. will be growing by 20 or 30% over the summer and double-digit growth in the fall so the president will be writing a lot of good economic news and to the election and so it's going to be in the self-interest of lots of people, it will be in their self interests to vote for donald trump's reelection. trump has to give them permission to vote in their self-interest. he has to say the kind of things that make them feel, and i know

it's not because i thought i'm expressing solidarity with the family of george floyd. he needs to give them the permission to vote and what they know is their self-interest and he's not doing the right now. >> trace: mike tyson, always good to see you, thank you. >> thank you. >> sandra: okay trace, we are looking live at the president. we've been trying to see if we can hear the audio in the room but we can't quite make out what the president is saying. this is a showcase, the spirit of america showcase being held at the white house. the president is touring around the table to table, he stopped at the nautilus fly real showcase there and moments ago he swung a baseball bat. he's checked out some grills and all of this happening -- he's about to make some remarks, we are told to come by the way, but all this as jobs reports for

june smashed expectations, 11.1% is the unemployment rate. it fell farther than expected. all good news for the american people. so you could probably assume the president will talk about that when he makes remarks in a short from now as well. >> trace: this is all emblematic of the quintessential fourth of july. you have the barbecue, the present kind of wanders past the barbecue, he's got the baseball bats there, and baseball hasn't started which is kind of a bummer but he picks up a baseball bat and tries to swing it. we don't know if they are significant, we don't know if they are baseball bats of hall of famer's or just plain baseball bats. then he kind of wanders back and use the other memorabilia that could also indicate that as well. >> sandra: we are going to keep watching this, the president is expected to speak soon and we will have those remarks live up for you. meanwhile, joe biden's appearing. this is streaming on his website right now, i assume he's in his basement. >> our economy will remain at risk. today we have positive news and

i'm thankful for it, for real. but make no mistake, we are still in a deep, deep job hole because donald trump has so badly bungled the response to coronavirus. and now he has basically given up on responding at all. you know, a million more americans, millions of them would still have a job if donald trump had done his job. millions of jobs that have now come back should never have been lost in the first place. and for everyone whose job hasn't come back, for everyone who doesn't own stock or can't get the sweetheart loan through connections, does this feel like a victory? for parents that are worried that kids can't go back to work ischool in the fall, do you thik this is mission accomplished? or for people in states where covid-19 is spiking, we are seeing record high numbers of infections. do you feel like this crisis is under control? of course not. people are scared of. they are worried about their

families and their future. just like last month, president trump spiked the ball and made this about him. he doesn't seem to realize he's not even on the 50-yard line. only one-third of the jobs that were lost in march and april have now come back and most of those jobs that have returned our people on temporary furlough. that means these were the easiest jobs to get back as we reopen cities and states. it's only going to get harder from here though. permanent job loss numbers actually went up 588,000. almost 3 million permanently lost jobs. president trump touted that job for african-american workers, and unemployment for black men actually rose from 15.5% to 16.3% in june. he touted the numbers for latino unemployment those numbers are

still higher than three times what they were when the crisis started. look. let's not lose sight on a critical point. this report measures job gains as of june the 12th. in the day sense, we have seen cases spiking around the country. some businesses closed down again, some states reimpose and restrictions. in the last two weeks we've seen almost 3 million -- >> president trump: america's incredible small businesses. i just got to witness some beautiful product. today we received outstanding news from all over our country, really. the united states economy has added almost 5 million new jobs in the month of june. that is shattering all expectations and shattering all records, historic records. the history of our country, we've never added anywhere near that.

last month we also broke the record, but now we shattered it here at much higher than even last month. this is the largest monthly jobs gain in history. we added 2.1 million leisure and hospitality jobs, 740,000 retail jobs, 568,000 education jobs and health care jobs, 357,000 service jobs, and very importantly to me -- because you know it's happening with manufacturing, we are bringing it back, because we've made incredible trade deals, so manufacturing jobs are coming back -- we added 356,000 manufacturing jobs. incredible. incredible numbers. all records. african-american workers made historic gains, the likes of which we'd never have had before, with a record in june. that's the highest number ever.

we've had 700,000 new jobs over the last two months or african-american workers. that's the highest ever, and both months are the highest. we shattered last month's record. that was a record, we shattered it. hispanic employment is up by 1.5 million jobs. great businessmen and women, and they are up 1.5 million jobs. think of it. hispanic. 80% of small businesses are now open. new businesses applications have doubled since late march. america's economy is coming back much stronger than ever anticipated by most people. almost all people. because these numbers, even the most optimistic people, these numbers are being doubled and tripled over what they thought would be possible. we are grateful to be joined today by secretary of commerce wilbur ross. thank you very much, wilbur. thank you very much. you're doing a great job.

every company here today embodies true american excellence. your stunning craftsmanship, i just witnessed some of it. it's incredible. it is treasured and priced all over the world, the product you make is like none other, and your spirit for america and the greatness of our country is unrivaled. with us are workers who make decorative american flags from virginia, fly-fishing meals in florida , girls from illinois, the pies from north carolina look very good to me. coffee from oklahoma. i screamed from maryland, and sunscreen and baseball bats from texas. with unmatched skill and devotion, e make the goods and build the products that proudly bear the wonderful phrase "made in the usa." you see that more and more. we are bringing our jobs back because of trade deals.

jobs are coming back. we have a lot of great trade deals right now under negotiation. we've got to get them done as quickly as possible. the small business is represented in this room continue a great and noble american heritage. you are entrepreneurs, artisans, creators, craftsmen who form dominic forged her own path, major on products, and provide good paying jobs for our citizens. incredible jobs, incredible people. they truly are artisans. and you are doing it all with american hands, american heart, and american pride. several of these companies are entirely veteran-owned and operated, especially as we approach independence day i wank the courageous men and women who have served their country in uniform. we vow to honor your sacrifice by forever defending the rights, freedoms, and principles you

risk your entire life to defend. following the arrival of the plague from china. that's what it is, it's a plague, and it should never happened. china should have never let that happen. china did allow it to happen. we just signed a brand-new trade deal, and the ink wasn't even dry when this came over. we have raised action to save our nation small businesses. we passed over $3 trillion in historic relief measures. $3 trillion, think of that. including over $670 billion for the paycheck protection program, a tremendous success, as you can see by the numbers. to keep small business workers on the payroll, i signed a bill providing federally funded paid sick leave and paid family leave for american workers. things that have never been do done. we are all
