democratic party farther to the left than it has ever been, bernie sanders talking about a compromise agenda reached with him and aoc and rashida tlaib and others, that is where we are. rob: a recent poll of independent voters show joe biden with a dominant lead. a fox news alert, the governor of utah declaring a state of emergency is two police officers are cleared in a fatal shooting. salt lake city county district attorney's office splattered with red paint. they are outraged over the da ruling that the police shooting death of a 23-year-old man was justifiable under utah law. carley: a gag order for the trial of officers charged in the death of george floyd. a minnesota judge ruling evidence cannot be shared by attorneys on either side warning jurors could be tainted. four officers are charged, derek

down. that is something that is an extreme. it would not be viewed very favorably even by the states and cities involved. rather than thinking in terms of reverting to a complete shutdown we need to get the states pausing in their opening process. >> reporter: despite surging numbers in his state and nationwide, florida governor ron desantis pushing forward with plans to reopen schools in the fall, donald trump advocating to get kids back in the classroom. accusing leaders of keeping schools close of playing politics. >> we have to get our schools open and stop his political nonsense. it is only political nonsense, politics. they don't want to open because they think it will help them on november 3rd. i think it will hurt them on november 3rd. >> reporter: the president is

headed to florida to speak to leaders about fighting drug trafficking. jillian: the fbi and police going back after the mother's disappearance, she was last seen on mother's day on a bike ride near her colorado home. her husband and daughter were out of town at the time. police received 600 tests and are not ruling out suspects. rob: charlie daniels will be laid to rest, the funeral will be held this morning at a church in tennessee. vince gill, trey second and travis trip will perform at the service, live streamed on the charlie daniels fan facebook page and youtube channel. he died of a stroke at 83 years old. there will be some good music. 9 minutes after the hour, joe biden lurching to the left as he works on an agenda with bernie sanders. >> i was glad to work with the

rivals joe biden and bernie sanders with the unity platform as the democratic party shifts further to the left, across the spectrum including moderates get what they are looking for out of joe biden? former social justice director for bernie sanders and alex sawyer, thanks for coming on. you heard bernie say he will be the most progressive president, is he right or wrong? >> i wonder if progressives will flock to biden or not. certain policies they want that they might see that are mentioned by the unity passport, medicare for all, green new deal. i wonder if they will provide on the basis of cheating donald trump is that enough? rob: your response to that?

>> progressives are very clear, the policy with them, the thing of it is you can't put everybody in a 3 way marriage, the worst threesome in history, you can't say conservatives, moderates and progressives, conservative say he's too far to the left, progressives say not far enough and moderates will say we want the moderate we voted for. medicare for all is an important policy progressives will not be giving up and it is people for from for dentists trump is what this election is about. senator sanders will say the most progressive president since fdr is a joke because the recommendations have not been accepted by joe biden at this time. we must understand the difference between recommendation and accepting the policy. rob: does biden have an identity crisis he is trying to deal with? he is trying to hold the line on the moderate side. you didn't see medicare for all, the green new deal or anything

about open borders. >> universal education was another one. rob: for bernie to sign off, what surprised me more. >> biden is smart to toe the moderate lane. we saw him in pennsylvania, his background state, pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin he barely won by 11,000 in michigan. putting forward the moderate message, he is doing what hillary clinton failed to do, reaching out to working-class voters. that is a problem for donald trump going forward. rob: let's talk about joe biden's plan for the economy, he was in scranton, pennsylvania, a swing state that donald trump won that propelled him to the presidency. very important state.

joe biden sounds a lot like donald trump did in 2016 when talking to this crowd. what did you make of that speech? >> joe biden is a moderate, talking about trade and creating jobs and infrastructure is music to moderates years and possibly republicans trying to decide between one candidate or the other or independents. joe biden is a moderate. someone will get left out and i think it will be the left. if the left is looking forward, wishing joe biden will become a leftist overnight i don't see it happening. he is going for the independent, republican voter. rob: let's listen to joe biden. >> donald trump loves to talk and talk and talk, but after 3 and a half years of big promises, what do the american people have to show? rob: he gets up there and

insults the president and in a lot of ways is stealing his economic platform at the same time. what do you make of that? >> i felt i was back on the campaign trail covering the trump campaign. is messaging about fair trade, manufacturing, even talks about when the government contract with different companies, american taxpayers to american companies keep that money here, a nationalist populist message donald trump delivered that resonated with voters. he saw what hillary clinton failed to do and is tapping into that. it is a problem, the president needs to be in the background states which he barely won in 2016. rob: joe biden watched a lot of jobs disappear from the country. i will give you the final word. >> it will come down to people need to step aside.

it is more about personality than policy, for or against donald trump and biden will continue to go from side to side, going down the middle to see what he can sweep up but it will fake his credibility, he needs to make a decision where he stands. rob: thank you so much, we will be right back.

>> republican party of texas suing the mayor of houston after he canceled next week's party convention read citing recent surges in coronavirus cases. >> in downtown houston at this time, help needs to come first.

that is critically important. >> reporter: hosting why the convention must go on. the texas gop is looking at hotels and venues in their county so it sounds like the invitation has been accepted. >> they are working hard on it right now. i told them we will be glad to host it for the republican party of texas, i told them we would be great hosts, not politicize this thing, do what we say we are going to do, all we ask is we apply the same guidelines and standards as the city of houston. instead of waiting for the final decision. >> texas is a current hotspot, they just recorded a record in covid-19 death.

why would you want the convention to take place in your county? >> our mantra since the first wave has been this. we cannot keep opening and closing everything up. the culture is dying around us, the economy is dying. we had a decrease in cases. i look at the daily active how many are reported and also how many deaths and what kind of death they are. we just hit 40 deaths in our county, we have 1000 active cases, 36 of those cases are in the hospital, 36. where is everybody else? at the house. this idea of adding case after case, we added 92 cases yesterday. do you know how many recoveries?

122, 98.5% recovery rate and very few deaths, they are sitting down the city of houston answer area, putting fear in people's mind and that is not going to work, it is not montgomery county and not texas, not who we are. we need to be race this and move forward. carley: some people who want a sense of normalcy said the mayor of houston welcomed protesters into his area and using the gop convention can take place. he responded that criticism saying it is one thing to be talking about an indoor convention where people are in close proximity with each other for substantial time rather than walking outside, in protest people are marching and protesting, no one is cleaning up behind them. does he have a point? >> know, he does not have a point. it is another narrative from the

other side of the aisle. it is that's. when i heard this, 60,000 people were standing side-by-side on in arm and the mayor was with him, there was no separation, spontaneous event, there was not one word about hand washing, hand sanitizer, social distancing, spontaneous, 60,000 person event, 60,000-7000 person event in a facility that holds 50,000 people not to mention we agreed to do all the cdc guidelines and thermal imaging at the entrance to the facility. this is a political stunt pulled by this individual, good enough guy, served two terms with him but the fact of the matter is. carley: you issued the invitation, we will see if they

accept. rob: top pentagon officials setting the record straight. >> intelligence agencies that could not corroborate the report. >> if it is true we will take action. rob: democrats trying to seize on reports of russian bounties on us service members in afghanistan. congressman tom bacon joins us with what he learned coming up next.

he hasn't denounced the rioters other than one barely coherent sentence other than once. rob: the biden campaign stretched across the country, buttigieg, beto o'rourke, gretchen witmer, amy klobuchar, the economic roundtables in various states. let's talk about this. carly have a flight going out at 11:00, the storm jumping toward long island and the city around that time. >> check with your carrier. it is stronger, tropical storm fay right now just off the mid-atlantic coast. if you need a place to stay.

this evening and moving northward towards upstate new york and eventually canada. we can see the severe threat later today including damaging wind, isolated tornadoes. there is your future radar. the bottom line is the worst of it coming later today into this evening. by sunday things are much better. i'm not optimistic. carley: i hope there is no flooding, that's worse than a missed flight. the actress's search continues the third day in a lake near los angeles. authorities say heavy debris is making the search difficult. divers can only see one foot in front of them. new surveillance video shows the last moments she may have been seen alive. this is her and her son walking

of intelligence entities, agencies, that could not corroborate the report. >> get to the bottom of it and if true we will take action. carley: don bacon joins us live. >> good morning, good to be with you. carley: what did you learn from the hearing yesterday? >> we did learn they had the intelligence but it was not corroborated, not confirmed, to brief the president. russia is necessary us. they seek to undermine us anywhere in the world and i wouldn't put it past the russians to have a bounty but the intelligence itself was not of the quality to have briefed the president on it. secretary of defense and chairman did a good job yesterday talked about that and use of the forces during the violent protests we saw in washington dc and other cities

and they did a great job with all the details on that. rob: the media went after the president and the administration on this story, a lot of negative coverage:powell not a supporter of the president talking about how the media handled the story. >> our military commanders on the ground did not think it was as serious a problem as newspapers and television were reporting. it is not the intelligence community that fight these guys but the guys on the ground. rob: he is calling it hysteria. >> i appreciate his confidence. the general in charge of operations in afghanistan, at the confidence level, targeting the bottom line.

the intelligence community least unconfirmed, uncorroborated intelligence in the media, folks who don't like the president, pounced on it. when this happens, when intelligence is leaked and used in a political way it undermines the confidence a intelligence community and our leadership in washington. you get disgusted by it. it is a partisan attack and continues to be so. carley: if the supreme court turns out to be true and russia did pay bounties for the deaths of us soldiers what should the response be in our end?

>> if it ends up being true. there should be consequences. russia could be in a variety of ways to put that together. we can continue to support ukraine, georgia, it is appropriate moving forces in the baltic states. we should make the russians pay in some way. carley: appreciate it. rob: lightning things up for a second this guy knows how to cool down. have you seen this? unbearably hot day, connecticut woman showing a black bear taking a dip in her parents inflatable pool. getting in and out of thpo it w bear claws.

he has no idea why the memorial is there. for whatever reason, he needed it to get there, walk around, every single name, 144 - behind its name, that was -- he died protecting the city. without their loved ones - he knows why that memorial is there. carley: tell us about your husband. >> for 27 years, one of the
