6:02 am
fourth of july rally and march. aishah hasnie here with more. >> violence over the weekend, i will show you the numbers on sunday alone. there were 30 shootings with 48 victims, with 12 people either shot or stabbed to death. of course this comes right after the city defunded the nypd by a billion dollars. i'm in chicago, 77 people were shot over the holiday weekend and 14 of those victims died including two children, a 14-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl. the girl was simply playing outside of her grandmother's house and she was shot in the head after three people were shooting. 22 people were injured in six different shootings over the weekend. we are keisha lance bottoms pleading for people they are to "stop shooting each other after an 8-year-old girl was shot and
6:03 am
killed on the fourth of july near a protest site. >> you can't blame this on the police officers. you can't say that this is about criminal justice reform. this is about people carrying some weapons who shot up a car with an 8-year-old baby in the car. for what? >> on sunday the president tweeted, democrats want to defund and abolish police. this is a core crime numbers. he also wrote that the federal government is ready, willing and able to help if they are asked. eric? erica? >> this comes after two police officers at least were killed in the line of duty over the past two days. sandra? >> sandra: heartbreaking stories across the nation over the weekend. let's bring in bill mcgurn,
6:04 am
former chief chief speechwriter. an 8-year-old girl shot and killed it, sitting in the car next to her mother and the mary dare, keisha lance bottoms, this is enough. >> it's been an f for a while. these are regular occurrences in chicago every weekend with all these people being killed. and you know, surely commit their lives matter, to but it doesn't seem so. this poor child will be forgotten in a week. >> sandra: it's tragic and sad. chief of staff mark meadows appeared on fox & friends a short time ago talking about possible federal intervention overall. let's listen. >> the president is not only standing ready but has been ready. about eight days ago he instructed a number of federal
6:05 am
support teams to make sure that across the country that they stand ready, not just in those cities in seattle, portland, st. louis and other areas where, literally we have doj and federal protective services they are standing ready. it's time to make sure that our cities are safe and if the local police need help we will stand ready and be there for them. >> sandra: so we will see what we hear from those u.s. cities that are here to violence, but they basically are telling people, they can't blame the police. these are people in the community carrying weapons and killing in this case a child. >> right. at the two people to blame our wine these people carrying out these acts and two, the leaders who have been so pusillanimous and the response, been pathetic. i wouldn't rule out troops if
6:06 am
they got to that point, but a lot of the problem is the police in these places are not policing because they are afraid of what will happen to them. and that's what they need to do first, use whatever local talent you have available and then your own national guard or -- the army is the last step. you know soldiers are not equipped to do the same things as police officers. soldiers go in and break things and destroy things, policeman or peace officers and it's a different skill set and so i'm skeptical about putting armies there. but i think to distract from the utter failure in the authority of these towns, the city council that is defunding police, and the mayor looking the other way, but we have going on are a lot of criminal acts and i don't see people being punished for them. >> sandra: i want to move to
6:07 am
the president's speech over the weekend, obviously his critics are pointing out what his supporters heard. they are talking about how they saw the president speech and that's what they call one of the best speeches of his presidency, except for those who want to distort their meaning for their own political purposes. mount rushmore with his four presidential faces is politically charged. how did we get here? >> i didn't write this editorial, so i can pray site. it was an excellent editorial. but trump in many ways, i was reading the editorial, a draft of it, and on tv was the movie about jimmy cagney playing george and cohan.
6:08 am
and i realized trump is really george and cohan. he likes excess, patriotism, and there's a scene in yankee doodle dandy about george m: where cagney asked, what's the secret to your success? and he said i am just an ordinary guy who knows what ordinary guys likes. i think people of this kind of patriotic thing. there was no darkness in their exit people who think america is a dark place. it was a beautiful speech in a lot of ways and that you should go back. the other presidents have been there, calvin coolidge is the dictation speech, some of them are really inspiring. >> sandra: the editorial board went on to say that whatever the outcome in november, president trump 16 will not go away whether he wins or not. they are having more than just one champion.
6:09 am
cami duckworth, the democratic senator from illinois was pressed for some of the statutes and monuments. here's how she responded. >> i think we should listen to everybody. i think we should listen to the argument there but remember that the president at mount rushmore was standing on ground that was stolen from native americans who had actually been given that landed during a treaty. we need to talk about what you are doing now to bring this country off of the brink of chaos that it's in. >> sandra: that was her response to is it a good idea to be taking down statues of george washington? >> of course it's not a good idea. it's not about confederates anymore, that was so yesterday. it never really was. with the issue is, is the mob. it's not whether we have the right historical assessment, and that's ridiculous.
6:10 am
ahmad is not very good on reasoning or making distinctions. what we need to do is do this in a civilized way. i'm scheduled to skeptical of taking down any monuments, i think you show it they are, warts and all and when you take it down people start losing their memory. >> sandra: and we lost bill mcgurn it appears. we appreciate it, thank you so much. eric? >> eric: george and cohan, jimmy cagney won academy award for that. fox news is saying that states across the south are reporting a record number of new coronavirus infections over the weekend. hospitalizations in texas have hit a new daily high and the sunshine state tops 200,000 cases and added 10,000 yesterday alone. officials even in short the republican national convention
6:11 am
set for jacksonville could even happen there next month. >> so if you don't follow local and state guidelines about what to do, if you are not following the cdc and white house task force guidelines you are putting your loved ones at risk. >> do you think it's safe to hold that event in florida? >> i think it's too early to tell. we will have to see how it falls in florida and elsewhere across the country. >> jonathan serrie is live. >> another hot spot we are looking at is the state of arizona. there they are reporting record high hospitalizations were more than a week. over the weekend icu bed usage was reported at 89% capacity to maintain its progress and controlling the pandemic, new york city is entering phase three without resuming
6:12 am
restaurant dining. cases increased but deaths actually decreased by 19%. a part of this could be that younger and healthier patients account for a part of the new surge but experts caution that death is a lagging indicator since many fatalities occur a week or more after hospitalization. >> we are seeing increases in bt treating the disease so we may r three weeks in the icu and walks out. they will still be pretty sick s likely >> the world health organizatiog trials of the drug hydroxychloroquine in hospitalizations patients. they actually raise some safety concerns. there are other

6:18 am
>> eric: and critics this morning are calling on joe biden after the presumptive democratic nominee tweeted that he plans to "transform the nation if he is elected president in november. that remark leading some to question it of his ability to solve major issues, considering the fact that he has spent over 40 years in public elected office. for more on this let's go to former white house chief of staff, george h.w. bush, and the governor of new hampshire, john sununu. let me redo the tweet. "we are going to beat donald trump and when we do, we won't just rebuild the nation, we will transform it. i didn't president obama promised that, to and what do you think the former vice president means? >> biden has spent 40 years doing nothing so he personally will be doing nothing if he gets elected. they will put him in the basement and the policy will be enacted by a aoc and bernie sanders and elizabeth
6:19 am
elizabeth warren, and they will make it a social a socialist country and make up for the freedom and liberty created for the success of this country has had over 200 years. >> eric: is a truly fair to say that he's done nothing? he's got a long record of legislation and confidence and he was vice president for eight years. >> he's done nothing except his crime bill. nobody can put any other success on joe biden's record except the crime bill and bob gates pointed out to us that while he was vice president he was absolutely wrong on every foreign policy issue. so it's worse than doing nothing, it's being in the wrong place at the wrong time doing the wrong thing. >> eric: when is the debate, if there is one? doesn't president trump -- you know, all he has to do is point over to joe biden and say he
6:20 am
didn't have to kill bin laden. >> only has to do is point to him and ask him what two plus two is. biden was wrong on killing biden and biden was wrong on the other foreign policy issues. he's known in the senate as being a great talker and a nondoer. i think the fact that he's committed so much of his campaign to stress and the fact that the aoc will have a significant role that he will appeal to the bernie sanders voters with bernie sanders policies. but at one point there was even discussion of, what elizabeth warren be his secretary of treasury? that should scare everyone in the country. >> eric: speaking of potential jobs, this talk this weekend about susan rice perhaps being a running leader with stock going up. here's ms. rice talking about
6:21 am
that. >> joe biden needs to make the decision as to who he thinks is the best running mate. and i will do drawing on his my experience of years in government, i've worked on multiple campaigns, presidential campaigns, i've been on the the campaign trail as a surrogate and i'm going to do everything i can to help get joe biden elected and to help them succeed as president. whether i'm his running mate or i'm a doorknocker, i don't mind. >> eric: she served at the highest levels of government but never ran herself, and then we e had been ghazi, claiming that was a demonstration gone wrong. what do you think about her possibility as a vp? >> she was a coconspirator on smearing flynn and getting flynn fired and then eventually got flynn accused of a crime that
6:22 am
shhedidn't commit. she was also part of the "do nothing" administration and think her involvement with been gazi is also a real problem. she's the one that went on and lied to all five sunday shows on the been gazi issue. so i think if she wants to go with her, especially since they have such a significant role, they can really go after the ticket if she's there. >> eric: quickly, do you have any betting on whom he may pick? >> i think right now the favorite is kamala harris but biden is crazy enough to do something crazy. >> the biden folks would disagree with the governor's assessment on that but that is the view from new hampshire this morning. governor john sununu, always good to see you.
6:23 am
>> sandra: unemployment falling in june as the economy recovers from the months of lockdowns. how investors are reacting as we watch for markets to reopen this morning and would begin a brand-new week on wall street. plus, the july 4th holiday marred by deadly violence and some of america's biggest cities. we will have a live report on the ground in chicago, next. >> it hurts that someone can rob someone of someone else's life like that and not even think twice. all i can do is pray to god. almost done. what do you think? i don't see it. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

>> there were kids riding by on bicycles, as we said, enjoying the fourth of july as we should have been. and now this child is gone. >> stop blaming the police department and the detectives because somebody on the streets know who the shooter square. >> eric: anger and pain after yet another violent weekend in chicago. it's truly a city under siege from an unspeakable carnage that continues. at least 13 people were shot and killed over the july 4th weekend alone. at the victims include a 7-year-old girl and a teenage boy. dozens more were wounded in separate shootings. matt finn's live in chicago with details on this continuing horror. >> herrick once again, this city in the city of chicago, the fourth of july holiday weekend is violent and deadly. this time a 7-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy are among the
6:29 am
innocent victims. the 14-year-old fernando jones was shot and killed on chicago's south side on the fourth of july, he just graduated from eighth grade. also, 7-year-old natalia wallace was shot in the head and killed as she played with her siblings outside. here is her father. >> to see my daughter on the table with a gunshot wound to the forehead, it hurts me. let my youngest daughter is no longer here, i won't be able to hold her or talk to her, tell her bedtime stories, anything. >> this weekend 14 people were murdered, 40 people were shot, 77 shooting incidents but these numbers are only from 6:00 p.m. friday to midnight last night. the tally of the full weekend violence here is are usually higher and there is anger on the streets. >> if black lives don't matter
6:30 am
to us, how is it supposed to matter to anyone else? that's what i want to know. >> chicago mayor lori lightfoot tweeted, he joined a list of children whose lives were ended by the barrel of a gun. we have to do better every single one of us. the president also tweeted that federal help is available if needed and to come in about 30 minutes we expect to hear from chicago's top cop who has previously pleaded that the code of silence be broken here in the city for the very least, the sake of the children. >> eric: it is just unbelievable and beyond heartbreaking, and so shocking. matt, thank you. >> sandra: fox news alert from wall street as a brand-new trading we week begins. stocks opening 30 seconds ago to the upside, nearly 400-point gain building on last week's big
6:31 am
gains. david asman is the anchor of "bulls and bears." good morning to you, as we look at the opening bell ringing on wall street, huge momentum it in the stock market and huge momentum on jobs growth, record numbers in june. does this continue? >> there's a lot of skittishness on the market for good reasons, particularly as covid cases spring up in greater numbers throughout america. and we should say that thursday was the last trading day, that's the day we got this blow out job numbers showing a huge comeback in the economy, that v-shaped comeback that we were told seemed to be coming true last month. in the market on thursday started with a boom like we see today, almost one and a half percentage points up, it's now up 354 points. it ended the day on thursday down from its highs and it was still an up day but it was down off of that three figure mark.
6:32 am
i think it ended 98 points to the upside. there's a little concern that these numbers that we are seeing might not be the same numbers we see at the end of the day. >> sandra: the dow gained more than 800 points alone we will keep watching that. the president has loaded this idea of extending the unemployment benefit but eugene scalia, the department of labor secretary says, that may not be needed. >> it was a really important thing to do as we were shutting our economy down, americans across the country were basically being told and they were basically being told that you can't go to work right now. so when you did that substantial unemployment benefit but i don't think we needed that $600 benefit going forward. >> sandra: so what is needed, david? >> scalia is not the only one
6:33 am
saying that. he worked with we are hearing similar signs from larry kudlow, the president's advisor. no matter what is needed right now, he may have seen the last covid bailout bill because what's happening is, we are getting ever closer to the election and any kind of agreement that we had in the previous bailout plans seems to have evaporated, any kind of coalition between democrats and republicans, i don't think there will be any attempts to get both sides together before the election or any successful attempt. be that as it may. we've already spent trillions of dollars on the economy. there is some talk that that $600 on top of the state unemployment checks which could lead -- has led to one week pay over a thousand dollars which in many cases was more than people
6:34 am
were making by working 40 hours a week. in other words you could get more money staying at home and collecting unemployment and you could buy going out and working. that did provide a disincentive. despite the disincentive, you have this huge job growth. americans don't want to take welfare, americans want to work. the idea of course -- we are in an election year and both democrats and republicans want to give, and i put that" because everything comes from the private sector, but they want to give bonuses to voters to make it feel like they are this big santa claus coming into the election. it is enough pushback and enough animosity between the two sides that whether there is a 600 -- there seems to be very little chance that another $600 unemployment bonus which will be going out before the end of the year. a >> sandra: it is amazing though. firmly above 26,000 now.
6:35 am
>> if i could just say, we are finding ways to deal with the pandemic. china, one thing that is moving the market today, china is up 5% overnight because they have successfully, in a lot of different ways, they see flareups as we do here in the united states but they are able to calm them down. and all over europe, by the way. europe is beginning to open up, there are countries that have a terrible situation with the pandemic but they are figuring out ways to deal with that. every state, every country seems to have their own way of dealing with it. yes there are problems, there are coronavirus flareups and even death but we are finding ways to deal with it both on the national level, state-level and local level. those therapeutics are coming online and they are helping tremendously to bring down the death count, while we may see flareups in the overall number
6:36 am
of cases. >> sandra: we absently hope that is the case. we shown up in new york city this morning and it's still very quiet. david, great to see you this morning. >> eric: we have a fox news alert, has been a shooting at greenville, south carolina, in a nightclub there which left two people dead and eight others were wounded. that of course adds to the explosion of violence that we saw across the country this weekend. authorities are now searching they say for multiple suspects in the fatal shooting at that nightclub. it was reportedly an event that is against the states coronavirus restrictions. >> sandra: president trump says he has presiding over a culture war. and a brand-new from the presidents press secretary. kayleigh mcenany will be our guest coming up live next hour. plus the trump campaign announcing its rally this weekend in new hampshire with
6:37 am
face masks strongly encouraged, but still not mandatory. the arkansas governor is among those criticizing that decision and he is our guest life this morning, and he joins us next. >> it would have to be social distancing and wearing a mask if you can't social distance. we would follow those guidelines if that's what you insist upon. when we started carvana, they told us that selling cars 100% online wouldn't work. but we went to work. building an experience that lets you shop over 17,000 cars from home. creating a coast to coast network

6:42 am
encouraged. joining us now for more on this is the arkansas governor. it seemed like a good idea to move these rallies outside. are you satisfied with the precautions? >> it's a lot safer outside and it's on a wide open space, that's harder for the virus to transfer. whenever you look at the president's speech in mount rushmore, that was an exciting time for america. here in arkansas we had to cancel a number of our fourth of july independence day celebrations, so to see that national stage without historic monument, it was encouraging to everybody. the president's speech was not dark and divisive as "the new york times" indicated but i did say that if we have that kind of rally in arkansas, we do need to social distance. or where face masks because that's what i'm acquiring and encouraging everybody who goes to the lake and goes to the
6:43 am
outdoor venues to do, maintain that social distance. over the fourth we don't contribute to that and spread. we have two messages. let's honor america, rebuild the economy, and forgot to take the virus seriously and continually and follow the health guidelin guidelines. >> eric: at you in fact wear a mask in public, and there is one for cities. if there was a trump rally, when there will be one, what will you tell the trump campaign when it comes to people wearing masks? >> first of all would love to have the president in arkansas but we want to make sure once again that we follow the public health guidelines. we can't have one event that it has an exception for someone
6:44 am
else. obviously the president is in a controlled environment and people around him are tested and so that is understandable. when it comes to the public and the crowd, we do need to have that social distancing and we do need to have that example set up the face masks when you can't social distance. we are trying to get a handle here in arkansas, we had an uptick in our cases and they are asking everyone to do their part. if we do each individual, then we will get through this together and get life to a new normal anyway with school and with sports. but we've got to be disciplined to get through that part. >> are you worried enter your fear that people have become complacent? as long as this goes on for more months, you know someone who recovered but if you know someone who died to come if your
6:45 am
family members are really sick, do you fear that people have not taken it seriously enough and now they have had a wake-up ca call? >> that's true without any doubt, there has been some complacency. whenever you look at our younger generation, it's staying inside and we want to get out and express themselves. over the fourth we had some examples of some bars that were not behaving appropriately and they had it too large of a crowd. they weren't following public health guidelines. i'm worried that a week from now we will see more cases just because of what we did over the fourth and hopefully that will not be the case. we have to understand, people don't want to be locked up, they want to get back to normal.
6:46 am
but to do that you have to make the tough decisions now. we have got to be able to be self disciplined now so we can have school and sports next year. we have to live with the virus and manage that but also help us to grow our economy and get life back to the extent of normal that we can. >> eric: you are absolutely right. i'm glad you are on top of tho those. especially for the young people to warn them. governor hutchinson, great to see you. >> eric: jeffrey epstein's a long time confident ghislaine and maxwell expected in court this week after fbi agents arrested her in new hampshire. how she was eventually caught straight ahead. plus a gun violence in

oscar, your reaction to that? >> first of all i would like to express my condolences. what happened is, the anticrime unit should not be disbanded. that was an increase in robberies, murders, assault and shooting. and that's the issue they had with it. and that speaks properly to you without even retraining so you've basically thrown the baby
6:53 am
out with the bathwater. there are losing their loved ones to this loved one. when you have one in uniform it's an advertisement. you wait until they moved to another location and then they do what you need to do. they need to read the numbers. >> sandra: these are the shooting and gunshot injuries. and versus the same time. last year, only 38. far too many obviously then, too. 2020, 157 gunshot injuries to 47 in the same time. last year. at the 200% increase in both categories. now here's a new york post.
6:54 am
and oscar as you know this isn't just new york, it's atlanta. it's chicago and other u.s. cities that i sing the spike in crime. as far as the disbanding of the plainclothes anti-crime unit, speaks specifically as to how that would have led to the spike in crime. especially over the holiday weekend. >> it would have stopped it because of the fact if you would have had the anti-crime unit, and also to make arrests. to make sure that people were in. but again we would have to worry about, the anti-crime unit has been successful. the numbers prove it. the numbers don't lie as i keep on saying, the murders in the robberies, they don't lie. you can't say anyone is fudging numbers because you actually
6:55 am
have a body. and how do you go to the parents or the people. >> i want to get mayor de blasio in there, and it is true that we are asking them to do more with less of the police. >> the inability to change strategies and deal with whatever is thrown at them, the commission or does it well and the nypd does it well. we are asking them to do more with less which is a true statement, and i understand that that is a challenge. but now this is a process that was a thoughtful process, listening to the voices of the people. but also striking a balance. >> sandra: we got ten or 15 seconds. right now, no. what we need to know now is take the community.
6:56 am
and you have to speak to the community. >> sandra: there were children caught in the violence. >> it's just atrocious. the clock is ticking down on the supreme court session. we expect that moments from now. plus the president accused of division over the holiday weekend as demonstrations continue across the country. white house press secretary kayleigh mcenany is here, next.

>> sandra: fox news alert, we await major rulings on the supreme court this monday morning with decisions in eight cases still pending from the current term including subpoenas for president trump's financial and tax records. the electoral college and the obamacare contraception mandate and robocalls. we will be watching for all of that. meanwhile, this is a fox news alert. a surge of deadly violence in cities across the country over the holiday weekend. dozens killed and at least five of them children in shootings and stabbings. welcome to a brand-new hour of chloroquine, i'm sandra smith. >> eric: thank you for joining us, i'm eric shawn.
7:01 am
the violence in cities large and small is simply overwhelming. 77 people were shot just this weekend in chicago and 14 of them were killed including a 7-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy. there was a nightclub the shooting in south carolina that left two people dead, eight others wounded. and in atlanta at the mayor is saying enough is enough after more than 20 people were shot. among the victims, an 8-year-old girl killed it right near the wendy's where rayshard brooks had been shot. >> we are doing each other more harmed in any police officer on the sports. we had over 75 shootings in the city over the past several weeks. you can't blame that on apd. >> we understand the frustrati
7:02 am
frustration. we ain't got nothing to do with that, we innocent. we didn't mean no harm. my baby did me no harm. >> sandra: in new york city at least 12 people killed, and in response to the president saying this in a tweet. the government is willing, ready and able to help if asked. kayleigh mcenany, good morning to you and thank so much for being here. it's horrific to see what played out and some of these seem major u.s. cities over the weekend. deadly shootings and stabbings and children injured and in some cases, killed in this violence. as a president see the need to step in at the federal level in these u.s. cities of the violence? >> the president sees this as unacceptable but the pain on that mother's face is really
7:03 am
hard to watch, to think that five children were killed this weekend doing everythin every d. but the president has done is his doj under his leadership has been aggressively looking at prosecutions. more than that with had federal protective services that have been in the states as a backup to local law enforcement. ultimately it's the responsibility of state governors and mayors who have police power to maintain the streets but the president has been doing everything on the federal side to say this is unacceptable and it's time for these democrat mayors and governors to step up because no mother snap to experience the pain that i just saw on that mother's face. >> eric: eric shawn here in new york. basically against the police. where are all the demonstrations of all these victims? this is been going on in chicago for years.
7:04 am
there's carnage on the streets of this country from this uncontrolled violence which is getting even worse, what does the president say about that? and the outrage over what has happened. >> that's a great point, where is the outrage for these victims? we have this outspoken attitude against police to defund of the police movement, 1 billion taken from the police department in new york. what you see with aoc as that didn't go far enough. you see a pulling back of law enforcement and we seen those mass retirements in new york that ultimately leads to the kind of violence that we see in the streets. there was an announcement about funding being pulled from l.a.p.d. and we saw an increase in homicides, it was over 100% increase. there are real consequences. we need outrage for these victims and for these horrid incidences of violence that we are seeing that should not be taking place in our streets. >> sandra: i want to move on
7:05 am
to the spike in coronavirus cases that we are seeing in our country. the president said this over the weekend and it's getting a lot of headlines. >> president trump: we have tested almost 40 million people. by so doing, we show cases. 99% of which are totally harmless. results that no other country can show because no other country is testing that we have, not in terms of the numbers or in terms of the quality. >> sandra: that's especially not backed up by stephen hanh, the fda director. dr. fauci is no warning of coronavirus mutations that cause illness to spread even faster. doesn't help to have the president talk about this disease being harmless in 99% of instances? >> if the president was making a factual point that most people
7:06 am
will recover from coronavirus who gets it. a small fraction of people fall victim to coronavirus in a fatal way and that's because as we see, we have therapeutic and we have ways to treat this. when you look at the mortality rates across the world we are far below italy, we are below germany and below france and it's because of the great work we put in. the president takes covid seriously, but -- >> sandra: should we be concerned about the spike in cases we seen over the weekend? >> the president is monitoring it, and he believes that we as a federal government are equipped to handle those fires. we have a great therapeutics, dexamethasone and convalescent plasma, remdesivir which is used to treat the spikes. >> sandra: do you feel that people are complacent?
7:07 am
there was a rally in new hampshire. on what types of precaution should people take? >> the campaign has been very clear. not only wil will we be giving t masks but we will recommend the wearing of those masks. one other note that i would put here just to go back to your other question with regard to cases that we are seeing, it's also important to note that at the height of covid-19 in april, we were testing more than 160,000 per day. so when we talk about these fires, it's worth noting that when we test at the rate at which we do we see a greater number of cases. >> sandra: this is the latest on the hospitalization stats since we are talking about numbers and in some cases that's one of the key stats that we look at. the overall accumulative covid-19 rate, obviously those key high risk categories are still what we are watching this
7:08 am
cases. dr. fauci and others, who does the president listen to the most right now, kaylee, as we try to work our way through this disease, considering there is still so much that we don't know and we have so much more to learn about it? >> the president hears advice from all kinds of different doctors. dr. hahn, dr. fauci, dr. birch. the task force comes together and presents that information in the president is really briefed on this. we has in american society have stepped up. we had the lowest mortality rates, one of the lowest in the entire world and that is because of american innovation. that's because under this administration we have left mike led the way in therapeutics. we are hopeful that we will have that by the end of the year. this president who tears down bureaucratic barriers to pave the way for america to work its way through covid-19.
7:09 am
>> eric: we saw the amazing flyover and celebration on saturday night. here is a president speaking about what he says now is basically a culture war. speak to this left-wing cultural revolution is designed to overthrow the american revolution. >> president trump: we will never let them rip america's heroes from our monuments or from our hearts. by tearing down washington into jefferson, these radicals would tear down the very heritage for which men gave their lives to win the civil war. >> eric: over the weekend, a statue of christopher columbus was taken down in baltimore and thrown o and the inner harbor. the democratic council wants to take thomas jefferson out of the city council and tammy duckworth
7:10 am
was asked about taking down george washington and she replied on cnn she would be open to hearing the argument. what is the ado about taking down george washington and some others? >> this is absolute insanity. america is the greatest country on earth. this nation and the bedrock of freedom has done more for the world and for the advancement of human history than any country on planet earth. this is a good country, a country to be proud of and the president will never apologize for what makes america great. with the president is saying here and has had quite clearly in the speech, we are not further ripping down monuments and america stands with him, 71% are against the dripping down of statues and monuments and are quite proud of this country and what we have done to advance freedom across the world. >> eric: joni ernst about a lot of headlines over the weekend, appearing to distance yourself from the president, talking about blemishes in our history and the nation needing
7:11 am
to come together, but specifically distancing herself from the president, peaceful protesters and other things. what is the president have to say about that this morning? >> the president again stands firmly against the renaming of our base. this president stands by and are great monuments, many of which have been defaced like ulysses s. grant and gandhi who is known for peaceful protests and was an inspiration to reverend martin luther king, these mobs have noted ideology. they are defacing abolitionists and defacing war monuments to black americans who served in the civil war. they have no rhyme or reason or ideological thoughts. >> sandra: considering the stance, as a president concerned that there might be other members of congress like her that distance themselves from the president's views on that?
7:12 am
>> no because the president knows he stands firmly and squarely with the majority of the americans. it's unacceptable to pull down our statues and defaced gandhi and some of the great abolitionists that we have seen either toppled or torn down across country. >> sandra: there was even at destruction of a frederick douglass statue. any update on the garden of statues? i will point out that there is the hall of fame american and bronx, new york, and they have bus, 98 of them. some of the same people that the president has proposed for his garden for celebration. when do we expect that to open and what will happen? >> we hope to see that open, and the 60 days to look into this, and i think the prospect of having a garden of heroes is a great way to make sure that america's students know and understand history by commemorating people like
7:13 am
martin luther king jr. and betsy ross, susan b. anthony and these great american icons who make great strides for black americans in this country, and for women in this country. so remembering that, knowing our history and still awaiting our heroes is one goal that the president had in completing this garden. >> sandra: i want to finish up by asking you about a recent tweet, going back to bob wallace and what the investigation of what he and others at the time thought it was a noose. if the investigation revealed it was a pull rope for the garage that had been in previous pictures. the president is bringing it back in a brand-new tweet. as bubba wallace apologize to all those great nascar leaders and officials who came to be by his side only to find out that this was another hoax? that and fly division has caused the lowest ratings ever. this was never determined it to a hoax, kaylee. is it helpful for the president to bring that back up,
7:14 am
considering this is something obviously that the federal investigation weighed in on? he has done many interviews since then but to determine it a hoax in a new tweet? >> nascar would note, their statement says that this garage pull rope with stairs since last fall and they also said definitively, the fbi investigation determined that there was no hate crime. the president is making a broader point that judging before the facts are out is not acceptable. we saw it with the covington kids and just a small ou just a. >> sandra: people will be quick to point out that this comparison is not fair. >> the federal bureau of investigation does not stand by that assessment. the president is merely pointing out that we have to let the facts come out before we rush to judgment and there was no hate crime committed against
7:15 am
bubba wallace as determined by the fbi and as noted in a nascar statement. >> sandra: we will leave it there, we got to go. we appreciate your time and come back soon. >> thank you so much. >> sandra: breaking news, a supreme court decision and shannon bream is standing by with the news for us. we are starting to get some rulings from the supreme court, our chief correspondent and anchor of fox news at night, shannon bream. >> we have a pair of cases that involve faithless electors, people are pledged and chosen by the states to go to the electoral college and vote based on how the state basically tells them to vote and how the popular vote went down. there are a group of voters from washington state and another from colorado, saying i want to be able to, and that's after the popular vote across the country. i want to vote how i want to. in some states you can find or
7:16 am
sanction people, there are other remedies and methods from stopping them from doing what they do or punishing them. today in a unanimous tip opinion, the supreme court has said no. if you are chosen by your state you have to follow the rules. it was one of those arguments, one of the first but they did by teleconference and across the board we uniformly heard them saying, i don't understand how this could work. there were questions raised about bribes. if you only had a swing of five or ten, that would change an election in a very tight year. she writes for the majority here and she says, designed to impress on elector as their roles as agents of others. a state follows the same tradition, which chooses to sanction and elector an end
7:17 am
then, they have no ground for reversing the boat of millions of its citizens. she says that direction accords with the constitution as well as the trust of a nation that here come we the people rule. they said listen. he states got it right. if you have any luck tour, you can bind them as a state to vote the way they said they would of which is based on the states popular vote. sometimes they do split and occasionally there are a couple of states that will split off, but the bottom line is here the courts agree on this one. >> sandra: shannon bream on this one. let's bring in judge andrew napolitano now. judge, your reaction? >> i'm not surprised, and good morning, sandra. i'm not surprised by this. everyone knows by now from the
7:18 am
lessons of the last several elections that americans don't elect the president directly. they elect electors who choose the president. so as wise as this decision is, it pertains to only those states that want to compel the electors to vote as they promised they would. other states are neutral on this so if you are an elector in the state and you are pledged to vote for donald trump or you are pledged to vote for joe biden, assuming they will be the nominees, and you are in one of the states, you have to vote the way you said you would. and you can vote either way. this is of historical and philosophical significance, it would be a profound significance to the history of the country.
7:19 am
>> sandra: there are five more rulings to go. that is not. judge, thank you for that and thanks to shannon as well. >> eric: thinks judge. meanwhile, voter fraud has been at the center of an argument about mailing ballots for the presidential election but it turns out there could be much bigger problem. how counting or not counting those votes could play out in november. plus, jeffrey epstein's ax arrested at a secluded million-dollar home nearly one year to the day after epstein's arrest, i had to what it took for federal agents to finally talk her down. >> maxwell. had a personal and professional relationship with jeffrey epstein.

7:22 am
7:23 am
7:24 am
missing. so how should we rely on mail-in ballots? mr. chairman, 23% of americans vote by absentee. how safe do you think it is? >> i think absentee voting is a very safe option particularly this year. again as you said in a normal year, we see about a quarter of americans using vote by mail or absentee ballots. this has been something that has been going on for a long time and obviously there entire states of both this way. if you talk to election officials whether they are republicans or democrats they will tell you that this is a safe option in every state that i've talked to has been prepared for voting during this pandemic. this is certainly part of their plan and of course it doesn't work for every american and so we want to make sure that there are also pulling place options. but voting by mail is certainly a safe and good option for most americans. >> eric: it is safe and a good
7:25 am
option, state officials, but it is troubling. we are looking at the screen right now, 1% went unaccounted. in georgia, "the washington post" did a study. 266,000 mailing ballots, 7,000 were counted. in florida 1.2% weren't counted and mit did a study back in the presidential election of 2008 and that said, 3.9 million were never mailed by election boards and 800,000 were rejected and at like 7 million or so people never got the ballots that they wanted. so is there a broader issue that sometimes these mail-in ballots, you don't get them to send them in and if you do send them and you don't know that they've been counted? >> certainly the process is a challenge for election officials and there is a lot of work that can be done. that's a lot of the reasons that the election assistance commission, we've been working
7:26 am
with federal, state and local partners talking about what needs to be done. a lot of jurisdictions traditionally have not had a lot of absentee or mail ballots and for those jurisdictions to ramp up to record numbers, those are processes that need to be put in place. there are lessons that they can learn from across the country who had years or decades to put these in place. for election officials right now, time is not a luxury that they have so we've been working with our partners, state and local election officials who have experienced large mail ballots to help their colleagues across the country understand some of those lessons learned and some of those pitfalls to help make sure that november is as smooth as possible. >> eric: talking about november being smooth, are you concerned it could go on for weeks? we could be counting multimillions of ballots, an overwhelming number that we've
7:27 am
never had before. you can't -- you can go online for your bank and you can go online to find out everything about your credit card but in some places you can't go online to find out that yes, they did receive your vote and your vote was counted. >> some of the best practices we have highlighted our ballot tracking tools, where we allow people to know whether or not when the boat hits the mail stream and when the vote has been received by the election office and whether or not it has been counted. if your point about the time that it's going to take, what we usually see on election night is always unofficial results. and yes, depending on the states laws and when people are allowed to open absentee ballots and start processing them, it may take time. certainly a number of states have to have the ballots on election day. some require a putts standard in those putts standard states with a ballot just has to be in the hands of the post office by election day. again, you had a few days to that but what we are used to on
7:28 am
the news are always unofficial results. so a few more days to get the count right, i don't think -- it certainly doesn't hurt my feelings and i think the most important thing is that americans are able to vote. they have confidence in that boat and that it's ultimately counted. >> eric: and there will be a lot of manual counting i think this election day. been a hopeful end of the election commission, you have your work cut out for you. thank you for staying on top of the election system. >> sandra: jeffrey epstein's longtime associate ghislaine maxwell is now being investigated. the links the fbi had to go to to capture her [narrator] this i.

>> eric: jeffrey epstein's former girlfriend at ghislaine maxwell is expected to appear in a new york court this week. them that after fbi agents arrested her at a remote million-dollar retreat in new hampshire last week. there are now reports that the feds used so-called spy planes to finally catch her. jonathan hunt is live in los angeles with more on this. >> good morning, eric. it took a long time for the fbi to get ghislaine maxwell into custody but when the go-ahead was given, it was a case of shock and all. planes were circling with a
7:34 am
reported sex trafficking ring have been holed up for months. according to the u.k.'s mail on sunday, 24 armed agents stormed the 156-acre property just after 4:00 a.m. last thursday. backed by local police and new hampshire as a gang task force, they apparently was a bolt cutters to break through a locked metal gate and drove it speed up the half-mile driveway in a convoy with 15 vehicles before breaking down the door. maxwell perhaps having been woken by those planes overhead was reportedly awakened trust in sweatpants. when the agents bursting she was quickly handcuffed and taken from the home. prosecutors say she bought that last year using "carefully anonymized llc." she's currently being held it in that new hampshire home but she is being transferred to the southern district of new york earlier this week and to make her first court appearance here on friday afternoon, prosecutors are saying that timing will
7:35 am
allow the defense to file a written bail application and for the government to discuss terms of a protective order because such a protective order will be necessary to facilitate the production of discovery while also protecting among other things the privacy and identity of third parties including victims of their conduct charged in the indictment. now epstein of course died in prison last august while awaiting trial. ghislaine maxwell is believed to have a wealth of information about many of epstein's powerful friends including britain's prince andrews, former president bill clinton and current president donald trump. eric? >> eric: it will be interesting to see if she gets a plea deal. >> sandra: protesters continue attacking statues and monuments across the country. another: the statue toppled in baltimore and tossed into the
7:36 am
inner harbor there. with spring in our panel. radio host and fox news contributor richard fowler. the maryland governor larry hogan, richard, calling this the antithesis of democracy. that should be condemned by everyone. is it? >> listen. i don't believe the statues should be torn down by folks protesting. i think there should be a process in which the statute should come down. let's deal with the matter at hand. are they statues igniting the country and are they bringing the americans together? the answer to that question is, no. the second question is the heritage of who we are actively testing. are we protecting the current american heritage which is democracy and freedom for everybody? >> the question was, is this being condemned by everyone? richard, i don't have to remind you that we have not heard this
7:37 am
condemned by both parties, by all sides. the unlawful tearing down of the statues, the beheading of the christopher: the statue, the tearing down the statues without a community agreeing on? david? >> the tragedy is what started as a movement to get rid of corrupt and bad cops has now turned into a movement to destroy communities. the setback the communities are going to face will take a decade to recover from whether it be the increase in violence that communities are seeing now, whether it be the lost jobs that are occurring right now, the distraction is a very much -- growing and monetizing by the day. it's also interesting to note that hypocrisy of this movement. they want to take down george washington and yet, lennon stands in a suburb of washington state and london was the biggest mass murder of the
7:38 am
20th century. yet, we are not taking him down. >> sandra: i will let richard respond to that. >> nobody is saying they should take down george washington or thomas jefferson. but the movement for black lives is saying all along it will continue to say is the ideal in memorializing civil war generals, individuals that were traitors to america and individuals that believed and sipped like slavery, though statues should come down because they are not american. >> sandra: what should the city mayors, on what -- where these unlawful acts are being carried out, what should they do question should they allow it? >> that is a great question. what you're icing all across the country is lack of action. >> sandra: it's a great question? >> is a great question that you asked me. you are seeing mayors and city council saying the statues
7:39 am
don't represent our community and they don't represent our country and thus those statues must come down. in other cities addressing mayors turn a blind eye, not moving fast enough and not talking about how we take down these instruments of hate and that is why we are they are being torn down. let's have action by our elected leaders to say that these don't represent america. >> sandra: here is joe biden on transforming country. sorry i was backtracking on a great question because on the unlawful acts should be condemned, that would be the reasonable logical answer, richard. but it's okay, you gave us the answer to that. we are going to beat donald trump and when we do, we won't just rebuild this nation, we will transform it. now there is speculation that susan rice could be on his ticket. she is not responding to that and i will play this for you.
7:40 am
>> it's a campaign trail as a surrogate and i'm going to do everything i can to help get joe biden elected and help them succeed as president, whether i'm his running mate or i met doorknocker. we need new leadership and so in whatever capacity i can serve to support joe biden and support this country, that's what i'm going to do. >> she is defending her qualifications so i will see where all that goes. joe biden talking about transforming the country, your thoughts on both of those? >> you just reset his campaign the other night. that was a campaign that started out as we are going to bring calmness, we will bring structure and order back to the united states. last night all of a sudden we decided to use transformation at a time when his career has never suggested that. and he has a vp potential candidate in tammy duckworth, despite what richard said it, saying we should reconsider the
7:41 am
name of washington. this is a campaign that is virally downhill. >> sandra: richard, i have two seconds left on that. but just your reaction, because obviously he didn't go into specifics about transforming the country but many of his critics will point out, he's been around in government for 40 years and now he's talking about doing something and transforming the country. >> i could say one thing. everyone, joe biden was part of that legacy. and i think number two, more importantly, elections were all about contrast. on one side you have a candidate who indicated that coronavirus is 99% harmless and you have another candidate saying we need to wear masks and weed to ensure a social distancing so we can protect individual americans, understand that almost 130,000 of them are now dead in a three month period. so there's a clear contrasts
7:42 am
that's obvious for most viewers to see. >> sandra: we had a debate, thanks to both, all of you for being here. >> eric: the washington redskins finally responding to all that intense pressure, to change the team name. charles payne up next on the financial incentives for the redskins to do that. over-the-counter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. ha! these drops probably won't touch me. xiidra works differently, targeting inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. what is that? xiidra, noooo! it can provide lasting relief. xiidra is the only fda approved treatment specifically for the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. one drop in each eye, twice a day. don't use if you're allergic to xiidra. common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort or blurred vision when applied to the eye, and unusual taste sensation.

7:46 am
>> sandra: the washington redskins announced they are launching a thorough review of the team's name after core sponsors like fedex asked for a change of names. it is a 184 team owner dan snyder who is has said in the past he would never change the name. charles payne is the host of making money, i'm sure you have something to say about that. good morning. >> full disclosure, i've attended quite a few redskins games at the invitation of dan and tony or snyder. i've talked with him in the past
7:47 am
and he has put a lot of time and effort in the past and trying to figure out how in his mind, this was an offensive issue to native americans or was it more of a politically correct issue. he met with many groups because there is no one group that represents all native american tribes, and many told him that they weren't offended so he kept the name. but of course now in a state day and age it's going to probably have to when you have fedex, nike and pepsi all pushing back. so it will be interesting to see what the new name changes. i will tell you right now he's a man with a whole lot of black people in his organizations, but i wonder how many of these folks were pushing back against him and could say the same. >> sandra: very interesting. these are some of the companies and corporate sponsors that have come out in support of the name change. fedex, nike, pepsi, bank of america, fedex put out a
7:48 am
statement saying we communicating to the team in washington. our request that we change the team name and "washington post" writing about the influence of the redskins minority owners and a piece over the weekend, in large part because they are not happy being a partner of majority owner daniel snyder. again, he was against this pretty much firmly in the past, and to have this change with corporate pressure is something to see happen. final thoughts? >> it really is. i agree a thousand%. again, i love all the things to a degree that's happening right now but i want to go beneath the surface. writing checks and changing the names of things is just scratching the surface. >> sandra: charles payne, great to see you. the dow is up 366 points.

7:54 am
concerns? >> there were a lot of mishaps throughout this investigation. a soldier who was in the armory room working in the daytime, 11:00 a.m. come up with thousands of people on that same base working and just to tell us that they knew nothing 50 days, 60 days, 70 days into the investigation? the way they lied to the family about information, about her whereabouts, it breaks my heart to think that a family had to endure so much pain when they sent their daughter off to serve our country. this could happen to any men or women serving our military. >> eric: authorities believe she was murdered with a hammer, in the armory room where she served. and specialist aaron robinson, 22 years old, shot himself to
7:55 am
death. did she have a history of harassment and do you think the harassment was reported or did it go unheeded? >> she reported to her family and friends and even other soldiers on the base. everyone recommended she do a formal report, but she didn't want to do that because she was afraid that they would retaliate against her or blackball her in her unit. so she kept it to herself. not to herself, but she didn't do it in a formal way. her biggest fear was to be harmed with her career. but here, with the process that happened here, i know that other soldiers knew about this because they told me. unfortunately, nobody looked out for her and she was afraid and there it is. the guy who sexually harassed her was the same one who killed her. our biggest fear was that she
7:56 am
told him in the armory room that she would report him and that's how he took it out on her. >> eric: it does show the cracks in the system especially when dealing with sexual harassment. we will follow this up to see if there is an additional investigation and congress can look into it. >> thank you so much. >> sandra: president trump celebrating america and our nations traditions over that july 4th weekend. but critics are calling his holiday message divisive. more on that, just ahead. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea or vomiting. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression

8:01 am
>> eric: president trump also weighing in on all the violence tweeting "chicago and new york city crime numbers are way up. the federal government is ready and willing to help if asked. aishah hasnie is live in new york city with the very latest on this carnage. >> mayor bill de blasio here in new york city addressing the media and the violence, just within the last hour. laying the blame on this violence squarely on coronavirus. there was a lack of a functioning court system and a lack of jobs. the meantime, basically saying that the morale is low among the ranks and the city and the tipping point. 444 total shootings over the holiday weekend and on sunday a
8:02 am
police car struck by gunfire in the bronx. this just days after the city defunded the nypd by close to a billion dollars. even more alarming numbers coming out of chicago, 17 of those people died including two children, a 14-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl. that girl playing outside of her grandmother's home and she was struck by a bullet in the head when three people started shooting. police say as a result of gang violence. here is chicago superintendent of police this morning. >> we cannot allow this to be normalized in the city. we cannot get used to hearing about children being gunned down in chicago. every weekend. we must keep violent offenders

in jail longer. >> in atlanta, according to local reports, the mirror their pleading for people to stop shooting each other after an 8-year-old girl was shot and killed on fourth of july near a protest site. >> at the point that an 8-year-old baby is killed, the discussions have ended. the mayor says it's all hands on deck, meeting with community leaders in harlem or most of the violence happened over the weekend. eric? >> eric: it's overwhelming. >> sandra: let's bring in a former utah congressman jason chaffetz. great to see you. it's horrific what we learned happened over the weekend and some of our major u.s. cities
8:04 am
come up with children injured and in some cases dead as a result of the surgeon violence. here is "the new york post" cover this morning. shot to, 49 hit, ate dead in new york city. the president is now floating this idea of federal intervention, your thoughts this morning, jason? >> it's heartbreaking. doesn't have to be this way. and, you have murders and crime on the rise rapidly. and so you cut a billion dollars from the new york police department? you get rid of the school resource officers and the policeman that will be in the
8:05 am
schools? come on, america knows this is ridiculous, and it will not help the situation and will only increase crime. that's increase security in your city. it was disbanded before we saw the latest surgeon violence in new york city. when it comes to the unlawful protesters, here is the acting dhs secretary child wolf on the what the federal intervention might actually look like. >> they won't protect the city's and the president has been very clear, we will, we will step in. what could garner support in terms of federal intervention in terms of the city's hardest hit by this violence? >> i think the president's heart
8:06 am
is in the right direction, he sickened and disgusted to see his own home city and that was the worst mayor in the entire country we come in and swoop in and overnight solve this problem that's where the buck stops. those are the people, and i tell you what, we see the contrast with rudy giuliani and bernie kerik, it wasn't like this. but it is with these yahoos. it's just static, it used to be a family-friendly and business friendly city. nobody wants to go there and nobody wants to live there.
8:07 am
>> meanwhile the president's speech of others, critics, she was questioned about statue removals, and she decided this about the president's speech at mount rushmore. >> what will he struck me was that he spent more time worried about honoring dead confederates than he did talking about the lives of our 130,000 americans who lost their lives to covid-19. >> she went on -- the interviewer went on to ask her, should george washington statues be taken down, if somebody is
8:08 am
concerned we should talk about it. she is fundamentally wrong to her core. mount rushmore was america at its best. and that's how supposedly, there's something about white supremacy and all of these things. it is fundamentally wrong and they did not listen to what the president was saying. i think you're resonated with the american people and i think donald trump standing at the side of freedom and patriotism when this election. >> >> sandra: i got
8:09 am
senator duckworth's exact words. we should listen to the argument great to see you jason. >> eric: a fox news alert as a u.s. closes in on yet another sad milestone. nearly 130,000 coronavirus deaths have been recorded so far, 2.9 million cases have been reported nationwide. the south and the west continue to see record numbers of hospitalization over the holiday weekend. jonathan serrie is live on all of this with more. jonathan? >> the state of arizona has been reported natio record high hospitalizations over the week. over the weekend, i see you buddy a scissors in that state

8:16 am
end of the year. kristin fisher is live at the white house. >> over the weekend president trump said that he believes the united states will have a therapeutic and outboard vaccine for the coronavirus long before the end of the year. the person in charge of the agency is essentially the person that would approve this vaccine. dr. stephen hawn. he said it's very difficult if not impossible to put a timeline on it. >> i can't predict when a vaccine will be available. our solemn promise to the american people is that we will make a decision on the data and science of the vaccine with respect to the safety and effectiveness of this vaccine. >> dr. hahn was asked to make another claim over the weekend that 99% of coronavirus cases are harmless. dr. hahn declined to do so but the white house chief of staff did this morning.
8:17 am
>> i don't even know that it's a generalization. with the amount of testing that we have come the vast majority of people are safe from this. >> has a number of coronavirus cases continues to spike, the race for the vaccine has become increasingly urgent. the white house is been looking to expedite a vaccine under operation warp speed but despite that effort dr. anthony fauci says it will be early winter at the earliest before it is known if any vaccines currently in development are safe and effective. this morning chief of staff mark meadows also said that president trump will likely be announcing several executive orders this week on immigration, manufacturing drugs, prescription drug prices and china. he says that, you know, the congress will take this long break over july and then it is up to president trump to fix these things so watch for that a little bit later this week.
8:18 am
>> sandra: we will indeed. erica? >> eric: with an extensive public mandates in place regarding the coronavirus, there are some concerns that it could impinge on civil liberties. judge andrew napolitano joins us on that and he is a senior fox news judicial analyst and host of the liberty file on fox nation's. some people refuse to wear masks and take precautions that medical experts recommend, what is your worry? >> my worry -- erica, good morning. always a pleasure to be with you. my worry is that we are being squeezed on both sides and on one side we have anarchy in various parts of the country. we have police whose hands are tied because politicians are restraining the police because the forces of anarchy are a foreign part of the political base of politicians, and the other side of this equation is we have tyrannical behavior by governors who are shutting down legitimate businesses and
8:19 am
preventing people from traveling and assembling, and utter violation of the bill of rights. so we have two extremes. often, erica, by the same people. it's often the same leftish governors like murphy and new jersey and cuomo and new york who are most aggressive about telling people how to live, but will look the other way when political demonstrations of which they approve are happening. i'm all for political demonstrations. i am in the oh iconoclast myself sometimes politically. but in seattle where police were prevented from protecting lives and property by politicians who wanted the support of those attacking lives and destroying property simply is not acceptable. these two extremes of anarchy on one hand and tierney on the other would have terrible consequences. it will either bring about vigilante is martial law and
8:20 am
neither of those is the america that we want to celebrate and thought we were celebrating on the fourth of july. >> eric: and it's certainly not the america that we love it and it know. you mentioned, the governor of new jersey, here is murphy talking about precautions. >> it's become almost not even debatable. certainly when you are coming out and absolutely indoors, as i mentioned this virus is a lot more lethal outside than inside it. but if you are leaving her house, put on a mask. that ought to be a national requirements. >> should be a national mandate all over the country? >> it should be a personal decision. the same governor who says it should be a national mandate obviously has very little understanding of the constitution. this is the same governor, eric, that told our colleague tucker carlson that the bill of rights was above his pay
8:21 am
grade. he doesn't own that, and this is the same governor, he is saying he's going to open restaurants for indoor dining with social distancing. he has a very little credibility for people that are concerned. not only with health but also with liberty. >> then that someone who may be infected, and not know it, a symptomatically, they don't have a right to infect someone else. at someone walking down the street doesn't have a right to infect me or you, because they refuse to let say, wear a mask.
8:22 am
>> there is no authority for the government to quarantine people who are healthy racing to medic. of course no one has a right to infect us but if anyone is that concerned about infection, that someone walking down the street confronting him might affect them then they should get off the street. the government can't take away liberty without due process and it can't punish people who have violated what is merely a gubernatorial whim and not a law enacted by legislature. if the government can get away with this, if the government which enjoys using this kind of power decides not to return it when the pandemic is gone, what do we do then? >> eric: that is the question of the day. judge napolitano, my dear friend who always has such terrific insight, that raises some very chilling questions today. judge, always great to see you. >> all the best to you eric. thank you. >> joe biden's poll numbers are on the rise, democrats are still

>> eric: a spike in the covid cases sparking changes in the race to the white house. joe biden campaigning virtually on the president's team saying his next rally will be in new hampshire on saturday outdoors. this is a field of candidates and i guess you could say it expanded, guess who jumped in? kanye west announcing on twitter that, yes, he is not running for president. peter doocy with the latest on the race. >> everybody at that trump rally this weekend in the campaign says they are strongly encouraged to wear them. >> certainly we want to make sure that people are free to assemble and yet what we have seen is far too often, we will shut everything down. i'm not in favor of that and the president is not in favor of
8:29 am
that. >> the president's focus has been on the oval office claims they are entering the arena as well. they tweeted this. we must now realize, i am running for president of the united states, flag of the united states. hashtag 20/20 vision. no comment yet from the trump campaign about a possible kanye campaign but they are accusing joe biden today for refusing to express pride in america in this fourth of july message. >> it's been a constant push and pull between the two parts of our character. all men, all people are being created equal.
8:30 am
we have a chance now to marginalize and demonize the arguments. >> "the washington post" is reporting that some biden advisors are very high on tammy duckworth, and biden schedule is blank. no public events. >> thank you, peter. thank you for being here. digging through the usa piece this morning, and they are still hunted by the fear of let down. so can you take any comfort from what you are seeing in the polls as far as a joe biden victory?
8:31 am
>> of course the polls look good but what's really important, he's an extraordinary individual, and he is a kind serious empathetic human being that understands people and their needs and he knows and has great respect for the environment, for our earth. great respect for individuals and for government. so he's going to do well. >> sandra: in this piece, the memory of 2016 can't be a race. it goes on to quote, dnc members from six battleground states say essentially take nothing for granted.
8:32 am
and, the moment looks very, very good. but there were 100 some days between the election and trump is a formal individual. however i think the country is ready for something quite different than donald trump and that would be joe biden. always be prepared, and, they come to a different kind of president and that would be joe biden. >> sandra: they've been talking about transforming the nation, he's been a government 40 years. why is it to be believed that he somehow going to transform the nation now and what do you even think he needs by that? >> certainly just take a look at the two individuals, they are very, very different personalities and very different individuals. trump as we all know is a very
8:33 am
divisive individual, one that likes to fight about almost everything. on the other hand, biden wants to pull us back together. and it, he had the congress. >> i'm sorry we are limited on time. but he's obviously asking about the taking down of the statues and this is a pressing issue for many who are saying that democrats don't openly publicly condemn the unlawful tearing down of some of the and monuments. we will get your thoughts on the other side. >> we need to admire our forebears and recognize what is great and good in our past. that is what the president is emphasizing right now. as we were reminded yesterday, no other nation can claim such an inspiring founding of so many great forebears. i was certainly touched to hear
8:34 am
my father included on that list. >> sandra: that was eugene scalia there. but i wanted to ask you very specifically, about where joe biden stands on that issue. and she was pressed on the idea of removing the idea of removing george washington's statues. we should start off by having a national dialogue on it. and it, is not a good idea? >> i think we should listen to everybody. remember the president at mount rushmore was standing on ground that was stolen from
8:35 am
8:36 am
we do continue to see the unlawful tearing down of some of the statues and monuments. >> we should never unlawfully tear down anything. lawfully, certain statues and certain names must be changed because of the history. jefferson, our founding fathers ought to be exactly where we are. they ought to be understood for where they are. they made this nation and they set up the nation that we now honor. going forward, no. we should not be tearing down any statue illegally. and legally removing them, yes. >> sandra: you are cutting out of that they are. but we would like to have you back, appreciate the conversation, thank you. >> eric: overseas, there is
8:37 am
growing tensions with china. the pentagon sending two aircraft carrier battle groups from military drills in the south china sea. plus, how florida is handling the coronavirus pandemic. >> we left it to the locals to make decisions about whether they want to use coercive measures or impose any kind of criminal penalties, we are not going to do that statewide.

8:42 am
next 16 years. general keane, always good to talk to you. what does this mean for the united states? >> clearly we've been in a big power competition for a number of years with russia. putin has been in power for a number of years and this gives them 16 more years. in terms of what putin has been doing companies been trying to put russia back on the world stage as a global power and return in his mind with respect and authority to that what the soviet union had when it was disbanded in 1991. as a result of that he has put huge pressure in eastern europe and he has now taken a foothold in the middle east in a place that was reserved for the united states to have that kind of major influence. he's also pushing to establish a place in libya. there is much more the same of that as russia tries to get its
8:43 am
foot in the world stage but, russia has huge problems. this is an economy that has tanked in the hospital infrastructure is actually deplorable. one of the worst in the world for a modern industrialized state. they have the highest hiv and cardiovascular respiratory problems of any modern country. yet the population is only 150 million and that's half of the united states. they are males of diet nine years earlier on average in terms of life expectancy than males do in the united states. huge challenges inside of russia and what putin wants us to be seen as a strong man and wants respect and admiration for russia around the world. >> sandra: to china now, the u.s. has sent aircraft carriers
8:44 am
into the china sea. they have reacted to all that's happening and i will get his reaction and your thoughts on the other side. >> our mission is to make sure the world knows that we still have the preeminent fighting force on the face of -- the message is clear, then they u.s. moved in over the weekend, then chinese sovereignty, and it could very seriously a spark an unforeseen incident.
8:45 am
>> we are a specific nation, we always have been. we want to demonstrate to our partners and allies that we will not stand idly by and let them push around our friends and partners in that region of the world. what china has been doing since the covid started is trying to demonstrate to our allies and partners that the united states no longer is the power and that -- our allies aren't buying that nonsense but that's what the been putting out. and this is in response to that. and we continue to be there >> general jack keane, thanks so much for being here.

>> it's very concerning to see how rapidly our cases are growing. and if he were to put into place this requirement i have no doubt that more will listen. >> eric: that was a florida house representative calling out ron desantis after he said he will not close on the state amid the new surgeon coronavirus cases. this after the number of new infections doubled in less than two weeks and more than 3700
8:51 am
people have died from the virus. the chair of the american college of emergency physicians. doctor, welcome. what are you saying this morning on the ground of the medical center and with the cases? >> i think you just hit it right there. it's increasing in numbers pretty much every day and you've seen that as you might expect since we started to open up again. it's usually about a two week and we continue to get more cases and they continue to move in for hospitalizations. so throughout much of the southern part of the state as we see more of these cases, more of these patients who are sick coming to our emergency departments and staying in our hospitals. >> eric: 10,000 new cases were diagnosed yesterday and some say it's because of more testing, others say it's not the case at all.
8:52 am
it's an increase in positivity rate and they are seeing an increase in the percentage of people who are positive. can you give us some insight on how fast it is spreading? >> there is more testing i think but also there is a higher positivity rate. hundred% are positive, and from the hospital side of this, we see more patients. so even if we are testing, if there is less sickness in the area, it would not result in hospitalizations. they are getting old very quickly and they are having to move to alternative sites. >> is all this -- is the spike
8:53 am
due to what happens on memorial day? he put the bars and the beaches together, and so to what do we owe the reason for this? >> i think that's a piece of the law concerning. there is a capability to doing some opening and it's pretty well-established with what you need to open up. it can't be so dramatic all at once, and the social distancing on the mask, still not sure why people refuse to wear masks. clearly, that is a good mechanism to prevent the spread if you are coming out. as you said it, people don't follow those particular guidelines to say in small
8:54 am
groups, do not use bars, do not be on beaches in such massive quantities of people and also not to wear masks, that's certainly a big reason for the contribution to that. >> the state is getting hard. we certainly wish to you the very best of luck and patients that you have, that you can all get used to this. doctor, thank you. and >> sandra: the bureau of prisons now says jeffrey epstein's confidant ghislaine has been transferred to new york city. the federal detention center here in manhattan is where epstein killed himself, you remember, last year. we are getting more information and she has been transferred from that facility in new hampshire, about 20 miles from the home where she was

8:59 am
33 give out absentee ballots with no medical excuse required, and five states use mail-in voting exclusively. 12 more states are going in that direction, including new jersey and delaware, as they try to balance accessibility and security. the problem is, as states reduce the number of voting locations, voters get confused. to get longer lines at fewer sites and claims of voter suppression. >> you have to be ver careful wn you start consolidating these polling locations, because it's different. >> tomorrow, for the first time, new jersey expects a majority to vote by mail. mail's at about 4 million ballots. those who voted in either of the last two federal elections. opponents say when everybody gets a ballot there is potential for undue influence on seniors. supporters say the fear is over stated that there is going to be fraud. eric, the bottom line at this point is that, as states go to this all-male in situation, they don't have enough time to get it up and running.
