this is a political witchhunt the likes of which we have never seen before. a witchhunt, a hoax. >> it isn't so much about the president's records. what is at stake is the president above the law? rob: delivering the white house a win on one but not the other sort of. shannon: the legal fight is far from over. what happens now? gail trotter, good morning. so the saga over donald trump's taxes continue. where does this go from here? >> reporter: this was a clear win for donald trump. he's not going to have to turn over his tax returns before the november election and it is possible he will never have to turn over them. the court decided in a 7-to

decision the separation of powers issue, they sent both cases to the lower court. he will see continued litigation over this. congress will have to show instead of a perfunctory need for the information for legislative purpose they have to demonstrate why they need this and in state criminal proceedings the court laid out a roadmap on how donald trump and his lawyers can explain how this is a fishing expedition, harassment, or might interfere with his duties. this is a win for donald trump. it will delay the path to the election and there's a high likelihood donald trump might prevail on the merit of the cases down the road given additional arguments he can make. todd: let's look at the key take

aways in the rulings, one but prosecutors have the right to subpoena records from trump's financial institutions, the congressional case rejects the house efforts to subpoena similar records, the picture people are taking away as presidents are not immune from investigation but focusing on what is next congress has a lot of work to do to get these records. what is a realistic timeline moving forward with the november 3rd date right in front of our eyes? >> there are many procedural barriers that can be put out for producing this information, many pleadings, issues that have not been explored previously. i want to point out on the

congressional subpoena case justice thomas talked about the higher issue of whether the president's personal nonofficial documents should be subject to congressional subpoena in the legislative purpose viewing and justice thomas talked about of congress wants this information they have a vehicle for doing that, impeachment. these issues at the highest level, something that not only implicates this president but all presidents in the executive branch going forward, it is important for separation of powers, the president and his lawyers raised the issue that state criminal investigations could interfere at the state level on the federalism issue in a way that would harass the effort of the president to fulfill his constitutional duties.

carley: nancy pelosi, donald trump and his lawyer claim partial victory. we will see where it goes from here. >> great to see you both. carley: new york's attorney general wants new oversight of the nypd but is it safety or political ploy? joe borelli has an idea next. todd: kanye west given a tutorial how to vote as donald trump weighs in on the wrapper's white house run. a lot more "fox and friends first". 49... 50!

>> the decision, no matter who each is i am 100% behind the ticket and will work my heart out to get it done. >> reporter: elizabeth warren saying she doesn't know whether joe biden should select a woman of color for vice president, massachusetts senators rumored to be a top contender, biden will announce his pick on august 1st. >> kanye west teaching fans how to sign up to vote. >> i wanted to show you how to register to vote. todd: the wrapper and potential presidential candidate visiting the wyoming county court office showing how to fill our registration form. donald trump weighed in on his possible run.

>> he is a very good guy, a person i get along with very well and he will support us. todd: he said he was taking off the red hat before announcing his run this week. new york state attorney general rolling out her police reform recommendations and one was to strip bill diblasio of police authority. >> i think the attorney general for doing an investigation. i don't think it will work. when you create a commission, things don't work. carley: joining us live is joe borelli. there is infighting in the state of new york. what does this mean for the

mayor and the nypd? >> this is one of the few times i say the mayor is right. what we heard today is a gubernatorial candidate, probably the leading one of governor cuomo choose not to one trying to insert herself in the hot topic of the day, the top law enforcement officer in the state and if she had any actionable evidence of wrongdoing by the nypd she could file a lawsuit. instead she's making a headline that comes in a report and not a single indictment and no one will read this report and it won't have any impact. todd: let's look at what leticia proposes, strip authority from the mayor creating an independent commission increasing power of the civilian complaint review board establishing force that is used for standard and urging new

yorkers to stop relying on police in various situations. do you like anything in their? >> the last is the most consequential as far as public safety. if you can't trust the police to show up that is a new change in the police community dynamic. the nypd had a police commissioner for many years. teddy roosevelt was a police commissioner. it was so bad that when he was governor he changed the system to give accountability to one person who happens to be bill diblasio right now who is the titular head of the nypd. we can agree or disagree or not like him very much but at the end of the day having elected accountable leader is better than having some commission who delegates authority.

>> here's donald trump on the state of new york city. >> you know what is going on in new york, it turned out to be a hellhole and they better do something about it. todd: your response to the president's comments? >> we can see data from the department of sanitation to real estate records, he's not wrong at all. when we frame this as an indictment of the mayor's job performance it has a lot of merit. every morning we wake up to more headlines of the milestones we've achieved in shootings and murder in new york city. if we look at this as how the mayor is doing then this is more embarrassing for him than anyone else. carley: thanks for coming on this 20. 26 after the hour. tropical storm faye set to make

landfall on the east coast in hours. janice dean tracking it live next. todd: donald trump capturing critical swing states, can he do it again. our next guest is a campaign strategist who says don't pay attention to the pesky polls, coming up next.

>> joe has been taken over by the radical left, has no clue what they are getting him into, worse than bernie sanders at his best. todd: donald trump slamming joe biden as he lays out his vision for a second term the president plans to defeat the covid-19 pandemic or rebuild the economy and make trade deals.

carley: he has a plan to rebuild the economy, build back better, buying american products that will support american jobs, building a modern infrastructure and clean energy future, advancing racial inequality in america and working with small businesses and communities, the plan is to create 5 million new jobs. brit hume says he has a good track record but missing a golden opportunity democrats are handing him. >> he has chances. the leftward drift of this party and out right leftism of this agenda would seem to present opportunities if the trump campaign and trump himself can capitalize on them if he can stop talking about himself long enough to talk about something

else and talk about their agenda and his message. todd: donald trump will try to solidify himself as the law and order president when he heads to florida for briefing on drug trafficking. carley: tropical storm faye set to make landfall possibly today. >> we knew that it was probably going to get a name but regardless whether it has the name we will see the same result, potential for landfall later today, later this evening but the impacts will be widespread, tropical storm advisories, warnings from jersey to coastal connecticut, 45 mile-per-hour sustained winds, a week storm. it could strengthen over the next couple hours to 50 or 60 mile-per-hour storm. we are not expecting a

hurricane, it will bring the potential for heavy flooding, rough surf. nasty day on the northeast coast line and the flooding potential is the biggest risk, we will see gusty windss, tropical storm warnings from jersey to connecticut and the flash flood warnings, several inches of rain in a short time. we could see the potential for strong to severe storms, large hail, damaging winds, isolated tornadoes. the storm will move northward and we will see scattered showers and thunderstorms widespread on saturday. sunday a better beach day but the forecast rainfall will get us over the next few hours with some areas getting four or six inches of rain in a short time.

the heat is the other big story across the rest of the us. we will keep you up to date throughout the day today, happy friday. carley: no beach day saturday, possibly sunday. saturday later on, sunday definitely, thanks so much. meantime a 9-year-old boy injured in a shooting in atlanta. several shots rang out after an argument in several bars and restaurants. investigators finding 42 shell casings in the street. the boys suffered gunshot wounds to both legs. all three victims are expected to be okay. no suspects in custody. it comes days after sequoia turner was shot and killed over the fourth of july weekend. michael cohen is back in jail

after violating home confinement. he had been allowed out to his new york home because of coronavirus concerns a week after the president's former attorney allegedly seen at a restaurant with his wife past curfew time. :sits in the same facility as ghislaine maxwell. the justice department is beefing up security in her cell over concern she might commit suicide. federal officials replacing her clothes and bedsheets with paper attire. william barr says the doj wants to speak with prince andrew as part of the investigation into epstein's co-conspirators. todd: donald trump gearing up to rally in battleground new hampshire, estate he narrowly lost in 2016 but captured 8 of the 10 critical swing states which propelled him to victory

so can he repeat that in november? campaign strategist john thomas, let's pop up the granite state, clinton only won by 0.3% and right now polls are early but biden has a 4.3% advantage in new hampshire right now. can the president flip new hampshire? >> anything is possible was you have to take polling with a grain of salt. the question about polling whether it is national polling versus state-by-state polling is polling is only as good as the modeling of the sample you put in it and in the era of covid-19, who is going to vote? will november look like 2016? hard to say. we have case studies that prove otherwise. there was a race in los angeles

county leaning democratic that had a special election a couple months ago snipped into republican hands from a democrat held seats. polling got that all wrong. the question is who is going to vote? hard to say. right now polling is more reflective of the president running against a generic democrat, not joe biden. joe is in hiding, hasn't come out from his basement the whole time so americans haven't seen that contrast with just trump begins to ramp up a hard contrast campaign, his vision for regrowing america versus biden hiding, protect radical leftists, leftists shredding statues, culture and history i think americans will side with the president and you will see a big shift in the polling. even today it is in the margin a are. todd: that is what you think on polling.

i want to switch to campaign strategy. the trump campaign wants to have states like new hampshire and new mexico, nevada and minnesota. shouldn't the president really be focusing on those key swing states that have a lot more electoral votes? wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania where he won very narrowly in 2016. the focus the on getting those middle ground voters? >> absolutely right. in 2016 the key, one of the keys to his victory was he focused in the last two weeks, had rally after rally in critical battleground states that ended up deciding this election while hillary clinton ignored those key states. that is where the president needs to put in his time, pay

attention to those swing states because right now polling is within the margin a but what the polling should be telling the president, flashing warning lights. i've got to get more tlc to the critical states i carried in 16 narrowly that i have to hold in 2020 if i want to win. todd: the only thing i would add, you don't get bonus points for rallying the base, two votes for everyone vote of your base that turns out, the president will get the base, they are not voting for biden, the president needs to focus on those the ground voters in the swing states. appreciate your time, thank you very much. carley: jj watt talks about what could cause him to sit out the season. >> second year in the league, looks so cool. about three periods of practice,

didn't want to put something around my mouth. you can keep that. carley: the leak is not made a decision on face coverings but they are testing different types of masks players can use on the field, training camps are expected to be open at the end of the month. a photo shoot two daughters want to forget. check these dads marking their daughters in front of them by recording their own tick-tock videos at the beach. >> posing and playing to the camera as bystanders laugh. is there any chance that i do not make a video like this? carley: you probably make videos like this even though you don't have children.

carley: todd: coronavirus surging in florida. >> part of the problem, if you are asymptomatic are you supposed to stay home and wait? carley: as birx -- is kim jong un for cases climb, what does it mean in jacksonville? there is cause for concern but precautions will be taken and he joins us to explain.

covid-19

carley: donald trump -- a black lives mural outside trump tower. >> i got that man everything, spoke to him many times, couldn't have been nicer and throws a black lives matter sign in the middle of fifth avenue and all merchants along fifth avenue are furious, they are

furious. the whole city is furious. carley: the mayor giving protesters the green light to continue gathering despite canceling all large events in the city through september. todd: nancy pelosi refusing to criticize the mob that toppled the statue. >> if they don't want the statue the statue shouldn't be there but i don't care about the statue. >> they are not involved in the middle of the night. todd: they do what they do. protesters toppled the statue and dumped it into the inner harbor. when caught, those vandals will be brought to justice. carley: florida one of the last close in first reopen seeing

record numbers of covid-19 cases. as they try to stop the spread of the deadly virus. >> we need society to move forward. we can take what steps to minimize risk when talking about coronavirus but we can't leave society on the mat. todd: congressman ross spanoh. let's look at the latest numbers, 230,000 cases, more than 4000 deaths, yesterday not a good day, 120 deaths, a record for a single day and close to 17,500 hospitalized. in light of these numbers do you agree with governor desantis's reopening process? >> i do. good to be with you. thank you for having me. we have to move forward, implement the protocol.

individuals and businesses have to have their own protocols, encourage social distancing, use ppe, act responsibly. although the numbers are of, deaths are not commensurate to that. we have significant hospital capacity, not short on ppe or ventilators that we were dealing with early on. we are waiting the benefit of moving forward with potential risk of the coronavirus but i agree with the governor we have to open, do it responsibly. i have said all along we can reopen and protect those that are most vulnerable, those at risk and we will continue to do that. carley: a lot of big events happening in florida, disney world reopening saturday, the nba restarting its season in florida. are those things, given the

massive surge in cases? >> we will see how things go moving forward. nothing is certain in terms of larger events. the backdrop of the republican convention coming up in a month and a half. a lawsuit filed yesterday. we can have large-scale eventss if we do it right, appropriate safety protocols, acknowledge and recognize social distancing mechanisms we have been advised will help and have helped across the country we can do this, we can do both things. we cannot continue to keep our economy closed. todd: let's talk about the convention, suing the city to stop the are in see from holding the convention. at the end of the day does the convention take place in jacksonville as planned? >> i think it does.

a state court lawsuit was one for nuisance, asks for declaratory judgment in state court that would prevent or enjoin the convention from taking place. based on what i know of the facts, the rnc and the president of the committee will go above and beyond necessary safety protocols, conform with local ordinances. i don't see based on what i know of the law and what i know the makeup of the state supreme court and it will get up to the state supreme court prior to admission i do not see this lawsuit being successful in the convention will move forward. carley: they are considering moving from an indoor stadium to an outdoor venue so we will keep an eye on that front as well. thanks for coming on, appreciate it and we will be right back. businesses are starting to bounce back.

but what if you could do better than that? like adapt. discover. deliver. in new ways. to new customers. what if you could come back stronger? faster. better. at comcast business, we want to help you not just bounce back. but bounce forward. and now, we're committed to helping you do just that with a powerful and reliable internet and voice solution at a great price. call or go online today.

beginning for milan. it is really at the center of the city, the heart of the city. >> reporter: people on broadway and the west end are worrying about the future of their theaters as well. it is a step-by-step situation. it was bombed during world war ii and its reconstruction and reopening were the first orders of business after the war. that is the symbol, life goes on, a lot to sort out with payments to freelance musicians, lost ticket sales. one third of theatergoers are tourists. a lot of financial hardship in the future but it is an important weekend there will be
