15 seconds. >> judge jeanine: my show, "justice with judge jeanine, 9:00 with the congressman matt gaetz and dave to tooooo ♪ pete: welcome, everybody. we begin this saturday edition of "fox & friends" with a fox news alert. as we follow two big breaking stories from the white house. first up. president trump says he will sign an executive order to establish a merit-based immigration system that could include some protections for dreamers. >> immigration bill one of the aspects of the bill that you will be happy with that a lot of people will be happy with including me and a lot of the republicans will be daca a road to citizenship. griff: also breaking right now commuted roger stone's prison sentence days before it was to start. he says president trump likely

saved his life. >> i'm confident that i can win on appeal but i have to win long enough to get to the appeal and at 67 years old, with a history of respiratory problems and other underlying health issues, the danger was very real. jedediah: stone was convicted of witness tampering and lying to congress. he was set to report to prison on tuesday. welcome, everyone, to the 6:00 a.m. hour of "fox & friends." we're glad you are joining us today on this pretty big news day. lots unfolding. very interesting story with respect to daca, what that merit based immigration system will look like and how all of this will be received by a public that is now in the heat of a 2020 elections, pete. pete: absolutely. we will have chad wolf on the acting dhs secretary next hour to break down what that might be there was a lot of ambiguity in there and what the president said and alarm bells go off when you start talking about pathways to citizenship. we will get into that later in the program. the big news, griff, in the

swamp, is roger stone is a free man. not a pardon, a commutation of the sentence he was to serve and on both sides of the aisle a lot of reaction. griff: that's right. the president said he didn't pardon him because he believe stone was wrongfully prosecuted and therefore he wants it commuted to save him from prison but allow the process to play out. my favorite part pete and jed, on a friday afternoon and evening, democrats here in washington went nuts, blasting the president for commuting stone's sentence. here is a little flavor of it. senator elizabeth warren calling it a mockery of our democracy. offensive to the rule of law and principles of justice. cory booker says we can and must do better, jed. jedediah: yeah, this is always a contentious issue. the president has a constitutional authority to do this. we know it. other presidents, trump is not the first person to do this, obviously. but it always becomes controversial because you look at the things that the people have done or said and also what

comes into question is people distaste for this ability that the president has to do this all together. many people feel that people that are friends with the president. we know the president has a longstanding relationship with roger stone. longstanding friendship. always seems like people who are friends or tight relationship with friends whoever may be get these commutations. people don't like the look at that and people don't understand that with that being said, he is not the first one to do it. not going to end any time soon. sometimes people get commuted you wish had served their sentence and that's just the way of the political land right now. pete: roger stone were targeted by bob mueller. the ones were the ones behind surveillance. roger stone has fought for his innocence from the beginning. he wrote roger stone's rules. he also says attack, attack, attack, never defend. admit nothing, deny everything, launch a counter attack. he has been saying he is innocent. ultimately see that criticism from democrats, guys, reminds me

of another roger stone quote i revel in your hatred. if i wasn't effective you wouldn't hate me. of course, the left despises roger stone. the president credits him for a lot of support over many, many years. roger stone reacted. and didn't just point to himself when -- he talked about another individual targeted by mueller. general michael flynn. here is roger stone. >> but between now and the time it ends, i'm going to do everything i possibly can to see that there is justice for general michael flynn. [cheers] >> exrent. >> because it is outrageous that he is in this situation. this man is innocent. he is a war hero. he has served his country with distinction. they have destroyed him and his family financially. we know what that is all about. so i'm going to do everything i can to get mike flynn to be free. pete: you know, it's point grant that his commutation came yesterday along with new news

about michael flynn. speaking of film. a newly released yesterday memo for the 2017 -- from 2017 excuse me, confirms the fbi did not believe that michael flynn intentionally lied about contacts with russia. lucas tomlinson joins us from the pentagon as flynn's lawyer claims this was suppressed by people inside the doj. lucas, good morning. >> good morning, guys. >> that's right. many are asking this morning what took so long for this memo to be released. appearing to prove general flynn's innocence. the justice flynn memo says quote general flynn denied having about sanctions. fbi advised based on this interview they did not believe general flynn was acting as an agent of russia. now fired fbi agent peter strzok. back in ape, the vice president says he is more inclined to believe flynn and called him an a patriotic american victim of abuse by the justice department. general flynn said in a statement quote these documents

provide even more evidence to general flynn's consent and government's motion to dismiss. in short there was no crime for many reasons. these documents were known to exist at the highest levels of the justice department and by special counsel. yet they were hidden from the defense for three years. given all these revelations, we will have to see how president trump reacts this morning. guys. griff: all right, lucas, thank you very much. interesting, guys, following on lucas' great report there the "wall street journal" has an op-ed today saying pardon flynn. it's time to pardon him. that's very interesting. the attorney we just heard from, flynn's attorney there, sidney powell, has done quite a remarkable job of walking this through the process now what the "wall street journal" is arguing is to rehear this en banc, have the entire u.s. court of appeals for the district of columbia is a mockery of the process itself. we will see where it goes. it's certainly going to probably get the president's attention

this weekend. jedediah: yeah, it will for sure. the fact that the fbi didn't think that flynn intentionally lied. that was the crux of this whole thing. so, it remains to be seen what's going to happen here. hogan gidley trump campaign national press secretary weighed in to all of this. take a listen to what he had to say. >> some good people were caught up in this russian hoax, this was perpetrated by zealous democrats partisan hacks to take down the president. wiretapped by the previous administration. we wouldn't know if donald trump hadn't been elected that comey and clapper and brennan were all lying in front of congress. and in other ways. we wouldn't know the names, lisa page and peter strzok the two hofers that conspired to take down a president with an insurance policy. we wouldn't know any of that had donald trump not been elected. pete: that's what he was counting on, guys, he wouldn't

get elected so we would never find out. we use the word bombshell way too often in our line of work. a memo written by the fbi that says they knew he wasn't an agent of russia. they knew he wasn't lying. he believed what he was say something true. they recognize the discrepancy but they knew he was not acting on behalf of russia. yet they didn't allow this document to be seen by the defense. internal memo from the fbi from january of 2017. man, the momentum is certainly on the good general's side and would will see where this goes. now, there was supposed to be, -- i previewed yesterday on "fox & friends" we would be covering a rally for the president in new hampshire. there was a storm on the east coast so they had to cancel that. the president was in south come where he spoke in florida where he is spoke about happening drug interdiction down there and he had a chance to talk about joe biden and how he really is a puppet for the radical left. >> joe biden and the radical

left trying to impose the same system socialism plus in america. biden is a puppet of bernie sanders, the aoc, the militant left, nobody will be safe in a biden america. but biden doesn't know what a biden america is if you asked him to define it. he will doesn't know what it is but other people do. he would have radical people running that party of socialism and worse. pete: he also accused the former vice president biden of plagiarism not a new charge against him considering why he had to drop out in a previous presidential run copying his economic plan. on the surface that's true trying to talk about america first and american workers. if you dig into economic plan, reparations, open borders, there is socialism plus. so yes, on the surface there is copiying. in reality, joe biden is captured by the deepest darkest corners of the left. griff: joe biden is leading in

all of the national polls and the presidential trying to define biden to put daylight between him and the former vice president. but, i think there is an interesting voice coming out that we want to show you and that is democrat congresswoman from michigan, elissa slotkin was talking about what a polster told her about these polls that have biden up. she says, quote: the trump voter is not a voter in every single election. that they come out for trump so they are hard to count. on a survey if someone sells i'm not sure i'm going to vote you don't usually continue the conversation. some of them didn't have any desire to be on those poll calls. they didn't have the 20 minutes to talk to somebody. they didn't want to do it. so they are fundamentally under counted. i believe that same thing is happening right now it's interesting to say 2020 has been the year of unpredictable developments. she is pointing to what this polster told her, jed, saying, look, these polls do not count

where the trump voters are we have heard a lot about a silent majority out there. jedediah: yeah, i'm sure there is. two points, one is that i think joe biden more than anything, is just completely lost. he is trying to be what he thinks people want or need him to be. and he hasn't quite figured out what that is. that's why he always looks like he is stumbling. is he trying to path everyone. none of it is working. a lot of people on the left are uninspired by him. he doesn't know how to fix it. second thing is i do think there is a silent majority for sure but a lot of people are not enthused with joe biden who will vote against president trump. too early for me to look at polling and say that's going to be divisive. but i think a lot of factors are in play particularly the economy and what happens with respect to covid and that will play a big role which direction people go. pete: no doubt under count of trump supporters. jedediah: we will see though.

pete: the polls were this wrong this time last time as well. jedediah: yep. yep that is a good point. we are going to begin with some headlines for you. we have this fox news alert to start. more details on the story we told you about at the top of the hour. the white house revealing overnight the president is working on an executive order to establish a merit-based immigration system. the white house says it would not include amnesty. the president says it would give daca recipients a road to citizenship. all of this comes a month after the supreme court blocked the administration's bid to end daca. and the most magical place on earth partially reopens in just a few hours. magic kingdom and animal kingdom are opening their doors despite surging covid-19 cases in florida. the state seeing more than 11,400 new cases. the governor of texas is warning of another potential shutdown as a record number of covid-19 patients hospitalized friday at more than 10,000.

nationwide, the u.s. reports more than 66,000 new cases, bringing the total to over 3.1 million. and we are going to talk about extreme weather for you now. overnight tropical depression fay weakening to a post tropical cyclone moving over new york but not before leaving massive flooding in its path. heavy rains and winds battering parts of new jersey as the storm made landfall near atlantic city. streets along the jersey shore looking more like lakes. and new york city streams of water gushing into the subway. those are your headlines. that's a lot of flooding right there, griff. griff: that is a lot. thank goodness it's moving on out. still ahead, coming up today georgia senator kelly loeffler calling out the politics behind black lives matter. >> there is a big difference

between the statement black lives matter, of course, the life of every african-american matters, but the political organization black lives matter is very different. griff: so what exactly is the difference? david webb is next. i don't see it. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

>> good morning, griff. griff: interesting comments from the georgia senator there talking about the difference between the black lives matter movement and the actual organization itself founded six years ago. what do you think? >> look, black lives matter is a misdirection on something that has been a movement in this country without a hash tag for generations, griff. what have we done in this country? we overturned slavery, we overturned segregation. we fought forward freedom for all regardless of color of skin, especially blacks who were slaves in this country more so than any other group and surprised americans that there were other groups that were slaves in this country in small part. what we have now is a misdirection and a hash tag and movement that doesn't stand with american principles of evolving into a better community of doing the hard work. you have groups like the black lives matter foundation which is the new york attorney general says cannot accept any funds in new york because they haven't done the paperwork. you have the website run by the

three founders, and where does the money go from that? well, they use act blue. clearly operating as an arm of the democratic party. then you have a movement of peaceful protesters, people with real concerns in america. you and i saw the difference in ferguson, and in other events that we have covered together. and what that has become is more a group of cannon fodder for the leftist, the democrats, the political players, the anarchists, and, unfortunately, this has gone from organization that you don't know who is really at the core of it and where it goes and now we start to see that to a group that has become well, really, cannon fodder for leftist movement in this country. griff: hey, let me ask you about something else, david. that is the great charles barkley speaking out saying professional sports is becoming awoke circus. this is what he says. listen. >> i think what is happening now we turn it into a circus.

we are going to spend all our time instead of talking about racial equality and racial justice and economic justice, we spend all our time worrying about who is kneeling and who is not kneeling, what things are being said on buses, what's being said on jerseys, i think we are mitszing the point. we need police reform, we need prison reform. and we need -- those are the one and 2 things that we need to focus on. my concern is turning this into a circus of instead of trying to do some good stuff. what do you think? >> i think sir charles is right on the money on this one. look, if you out in america as many americans will agree with have a serious concern about wrongful killings as we saw with george floyd, there is dangerous situations that involve police, law enforcement and bad cops, the few that exist, and black men. i stand with you and so will most americans. we saw unity after george floyd,

and then what did we see? disunity and tearing us apart. look, sports is sports. we have been in lockdown. charles barkley talked about that. we want our sports in america. not your agenda. we saw the bubba wallace situation play out in nascar where they got woke and then the facts came out. griff: david, we have got to leave it there you are right about one thing america is ready for all sports to come back. thank you very much. >> thank you. griff: coming up, states like texas are seeing record numbers of coronavirus cases. ronna jackson says you shouldn't be alarmed. he joins us live to explain next. for 36 months. experience amazing at your lexus dealer.

former white house position and candidate reared a admiral dr. johnny jackson joins me now. thank you so much for being on the program. >> thank you, pete. pete: good morning. the president going to talk with combat vets and workers. can you what he has done for our military your reaction? >> i think it's a great thing. i have been with the president and accompanied him on these visits to the walter reed national military medical center on a variety of occasions. i think it's a great thing that he does to get out there and visit those guys that have been over there and deployed overseas that are injured that are coming back home and recuperating. he goes up there and talk to the staff in the icus and the wards and says thank you for your service. it's a wonderful thing that he does. is he very sign sear to make sure he does that on a regular basis. i'm happy to see that he is doing it. pete: the media is going to run breathlessly is the president wearing a mask or not wearing

mask. you know better than anyone else this guy is the most tested person people next to him have to be tested. what do you think about their obsession whether he wears it or not. >> they are driving a narrative here. they try to make the president look bad, obviously, no matter what he does. you are right, the president and the team that surrounds him are aggressively tested. he will go in there today and he will wear a mask when it's appropriate and he will to the direction of the hospital commander. you know, we all wear mask when we go into a hospital. i visit rural hospitals here. i generally don't wear a mask most of the things i do throughout the day but when i i got into the hospital i wear a mask. the president is out there leading from the front. he has to be an example of you who we are going to get this country back on our feet again and to work and school as well. i appreciate the leadership of the president i think he walks the line and doing it well. pete: dock, to you are down in texas running from congress. there has been increase in testing there just as around the country. there is also an increase in cases. we have seen more deaths in

texas due to coflt. your response to the situation down there in texas. >> well, i think we do have a lot more positive cases and that is because we are aggressively testing down here. you would expect that when you are testing you will get more positive cases. there is even a study out by the cdc that showed there are probably 10 people out there that are positive for every one person that is tested. there are a lot of people out there that have this. now, the one thing that i have noticed up until recently, the report something that the hospitalizations and the deaths are trending down despite the fact that the test numbers are trending up. there are some reports now that some of the deaths are trending up a little bit that's in large part i think due to testing as well. people in the hospital are being tested aggressively right now on the icus and wards. you are being tested. even if it's an incidental finding you test positive coronavirus. that goes down as diagnosis for hospitalization. if you were to die in the hops hospital for something that will be part of your diagnosis when

you die. i think those numbers aren't very accurate, i don't think, i think there is manipulation to those numbers. i think some of it is being done still for political reasons. pete: there you go. reared a admiral johnny jackson thank you for your time this morning. >> thank you, appreciate it. pete: best tv back drop in the business. american academy of pediatrics breaks with the white house on reopening schools. why the flip flop? rachel campos-duffy says it's all political and she breaks it down next. good morning, mr. sun. good morning, blair.

jedediah: president trump threatening backlash to cut funding if schools don't resume inperson funding in the fall. griff: american academy of pediatrics also called for schools to reopen released a statement saying quote: pete: joining to us react is rachel campos-duffy. thank you so much for being here. rachel: good morning. pete: you hear outside groups unions piling on with statements saying listen to the experts. all points to maybe we open, maybe we don't, our schools. what do you make of it? >> actually, the president is suggesting that we do exactly what the american academy of pediatrics says to do until this whole thing got super political.

the american academy of pee pediatrics said we need to open and that not opening was more detrimental to children than the risk of covid. and as we learn more about covid, we know that is absolutely true that children are not super spreaders. that they are not likely to die from it. and that the risk of them not going to school is greater. hurts the most vulnerable the most. those that have learning disabilities, special needs, the poor. children who are living in abusive homes. the pediatric association knows this which is why they originally recommended that we move towards reopening the school unless some crazy outbreak happenings, which by the way, we can all manage if something happened, we can pull back just like we did before. but we should be planning to open because that's the right thing to do. the only reason we are not planning on doing that in assume of these liberal cities is politics. and the activists inside the teacher's unions who are pushing for that.

jedediah: rachel, one challenges that i'm seeing is a lot of protocols kids wearing masks, social distancing for children that's not practically applicable in a classroom. it's just not going to happen. in terms of reopening, you are a mom, you are my super mom that i always go to for advice, what would you look at as a parent to say you know what i feel comfortable my kids going to school. should they open like normal? >> hygiene that's happening. i know schools are petri dishes of germs. i'm glad that they are cleaning classrooms more. these are things they should have been doing anyway. really this is more like the flu, jedediah, it's not that much more different for children. of course, that's different if you have co-morbidities, if you are old and if you are sick. that's different. for kids, the danger is not that great. and as we know there is also vaccines that are going to be coming out probably around

december or january as well. so, i think that the alarm that we are seeing, to me, is very, very political. because, as we know, if kids can't go to school, parents can't go to work. if parents can't go to work. our economy can't get back on track, which as you know, is really key to donald trump winning in this next election. griff: rachel, let me take to you a different story the controversy brewing around goya foods. you know them. i in full disclosure eat goya black beans about every day of my life. it's a very interesting story. the owner was at the white house here is what he said while visiting president trump. listen. >> we are all truly blessed at the same time to have a leader like president trump who is a builder. and that's what my grandfather did. he came to this country to build, to grow, to prosper.

griff: he was hammered and criticized for those words. so yesterday he was on "fox & friends" responding to the backlash. take a listen to this. >> it's suppression of speech. when i was called to be part of this commission, to aid in economic and educational prosperity, and you make positive comment, all of a sudden, that's not acceptable. so, you know, i'm apologizing. going to get a call from the president of the united states, no, i'm sorry, no thank you. i didn't say that to the obamas. and i didn't say that to president trump. griff: rachel, your reaction? rachel: well, listen. i'm a big goya food pressurer as well. i love to cook hispanic foods and you can't do it without goya foods. i was encouraged laura asked him are you going to apologize he said hell no i'm not going to apologize and he shouldn't. goya foods is not just the biggest, most important spanish owned food stores in america.

they have done more for the hispanic community in terms of charity and providing jobs to latinos, than anything socialists, liars and power-hungry people like aoc and hulaian castro leading this boycott against this hispanic owned business. i'm glad he is not backing down. we don't need thought police. countries left countries to get away from people like aoc and socialist policies and people who will tell what you to do. i'm backing all the way conservatives buy goya products because we have to get rid of this cancel culture. griff: and keep their beans around. pete: thank you, rachel. griff: overnight a protester hits a federal officer in the head with a hammer.

police using tear gas to disperse the crowd around the portland federal courthouse. the officer was struck in the head and shoulder when he walked out of the building while protesters were trying to break down the door. an arrest was made and police recovered this hammer from the scene. yikes. the harmed missouri couple seen outside their home during a protest have one of their guns seized. police reportedly taking mark and patricia's rifle overnight as part of a search warrant. the couple's attorney refused to say if anything else was taken from the home or if they're facing charges. and a heart pounding moment as a police officer rescues a girl in a raging flash flood. watch this. >> oh my gosh. [screams] >> oh my god, thank you. thank you. thank you so much. >> wow, the ohio police officers using a rope to pull the 8-year-old girl up from a ledge, she was swimming with her family when the flash flood hit and trapped her on the other side of

the river. take a look at what the postman dragged in to a family in georgia. >> we have a voter registration application for cody tims. how did this happen? i mean, it's not reality. he is a cat. here he is. and he has been dead for a long time. griff: cody has been dead for 12 years. georgia secretary of state blaming a third party voter registration group for the mix-up. in case you are wondering, katie's owners say he was a democrat. pete: they said he was a demo cat. dead cat from 12 years ago gets a registration form. system is great. and mail-in balloting will work fantastic in november. toss it out to rick reichmuth for the latest on tropical depression fay. rick? how are you doing? rick: good morning, guys, yeah. this is our sixth storm of the year already tropical system. none of them caused a major problem for anybody. this storm made landfall 5:00

yesterday afternoon across areas of new jersey and can you see that line where it tracked just to the west of new york city up through the hudson river valley. and now it's up around the albany area. that's the center of the storm. the rain and precipitation from it obviously spread out much further than that but that said, for the most part, this is winding down right now. we still have a few showers going on across upstate new york and in across areas of new england. nothing that's going to cause massive problems for us today. i want to point this out though an average hurricane season has 12 named storms. we are already at 6. none of them have been hurricaning. for the most part nuisance storms except for yesterday did cause flooding. to have that kind of activity that early into the season and just getting going. this is where we are, and see that line of today and all of the action really gets going once you get into the august through september into early october. so the bulk of the hurricane seasonal is coming. and we are just at the beginning of this. one other story today that i want to hit on is heat that's building down across parts of

the south. take a look at temperatures today and tomorrow. incredible heat southwest where we get heat. right now temps pushing 120 in parts of the dessert death valley getting towards 122 look at texas it's hot and humid temps into the triple digits. feeling closer to 120. a dangerous time across parts of the south as well. all right, guys, back to you. pete: thank you, rick. jedediah: thanks so much, rick, as always. president trump commutes the sentence of roger stone. gregg jarrett knows the case inside and out and he is here to break it all down for us next.

with oscar mayer deli fresh it's not just a sandwich, far from it. it's a reason to come together. it's a taste of something good. a taste we all could use right now. so let's make the most of it. and make every sandwich count. with oscar mayer deli fresh griff: time now for headlines, facebook could ban ads ahead of the election. according to bloomberg news time limited election content spreading as people prepare to head to the polls. right now the potential ban is

only being discussed and has yet to be finalized. amazon says an email telling employees to delete the app. tictoc off the phones was a mistake. workers were told the app. was a security risk amid accusations it gives user data to the chinese government. amazon says its policy on the app. has not changed but no word on why the email was written in the first place. pete: my favorite company gave . president trump commuted roger stone's prison tense. the left and allies for years to undermine the trump presidency. the simple fact if the special counsel had not been pursuing an absolutely baseles baseless investigation, mr. stone would

not be facing time in prison. gregg jarrett, your reaction to the commutation by roger stone. >> the evidence against stone was weak. his problem is he was being tried in washington, d.c., good luck if you are a friend of trump's in that venue. 90%, votes for hillary clinton. was was more important for the president is that the jury foreperson, a lawyer was virulently anti-trump in communicating on social media things like #clan president calling trump and his supporters which include roger stone racist. this was concealed during the course of the trial. we learned about it later. i don't think this was a fair trial. if you put roger stone in front of a jury elsewhere. he would have been acquitted in less than an hour and so i think

the president did it for that reason and reasons of compassion, 67-year-old man going into a prison system rife with coronavirus, he is not in the best of health. our system of justin is not perfect. this is exactly why the founders gave the president of the united states unlimited unfettered power, principally reasons of mercy to pardon people and commute sentences. pete: gregg jarrett good point. thousands being released. roger stone was different pending the before his sentence was commuted. but i got to get your take on this second story as well coming on the same day. government memo from january of 2017 shows the fbi did not think, believe at the time that michael flynn intentionally lied or was a russian agent. we just now learn about this internal memo. his defense didn't even have it. so they knew at the time, greg, that he wasn't an agent and he wasn't lying.

yet they pursued it anyway. >> and this new development confirms what i wrote at the beginning of chapter 8 in my book witch-hunt. i open with the fbi report itself, a summary of peter strzok and joe's interview of michael flynn and it reads strzok and penka have the impression strzoflynn waslying. in other words, they prosecuted a man for lying when they knew they knew he didn't lie. this just underscores the corruption of special counsel bob mueller and his team of partisan prosecutors. it's a disgrace. but i'm glad this information and the evidence is now emerging. the case against flynn must be dismissed, and it will be. pete: greg, have you been on this from the beginning. wrote about it before we even

knew about it. gregg jarrett, thank you for your time this morning. >> sure. pete: are you taking a road trip this summer? maybe gregg jarrett is. up next, how to disinfect your car properly. know about buying a car. right now the car coach on deck. ♪ would you cry ♪ if i told you that i lied ♪ would you let it ride? ♪

jedediah: due to the pandemic more people hitting the skies and hitting the road for road trips. how do you keep your car germ-free is what i want to know and what if you are looking to buy a new vehicle. here is auto coach lauren fix. welcome to the show your time

something perfect. i'm looking for tips on how to disinfect my car. tell me how to do it. >> well, i know how you feel about germs, but you may be surprised there is about 283 different types of germs in your vehicle. sorry. so here's what you need to do. remember, household products for the house, car products for the car. because you don't want to dry out the interior, especially leather. jedediah, do you know where the dirtiest part of a vehicle is? jedediah: probably the steering wheel would be my guess. >> believe it or not, it's the cup holder. so, it's something you have to keep in mind. this is an automotive wipe, and can you clean off the steering wheel, don't forget the dash, if somebody did have covid and they were in your vehicle and taking them back and forth to the doctor's appointment, you want to make sure to clean all of that so that's why it's important to use automotive wipes. don't forget the events. because the air that comes in is a big factor. believe it or not the air outside is cleaner than the air inside your car. i want to show you something else besides using automotive

wipes. this is a wa carbon air filter. this is a dirty one and clean one. what happens this filter collects mold and mildew and supposed to replace it every six months. jedediah: wow, can i see from here actually the difference in that i had no idea. that will be a whole other job to figure out how to get that filter out, lauren. i also want to ask you about purchasing a car or test driving a car right now. i know a lot 6 people who fled the city, myself included wanted a car had no idea, is it safe to go test drive? what's safe? how do we do it? >> believe it or not, there are some great incentives out there. i cover that every single month. very easy to do. you conduct the dealer through email, you can call them, they will do touchless test drives bring the car to you. depending on the dealer and let you use it overnight. dual after the paperwork online and have the car delivered directly to you so you don't have to see the dealer and use all the items in the vehicle as

well. jedediah: wow that is completely without having contact with anyone. no concerns about. you can basically have a stress-free car purchase in the midst of a covid pandemic? >> that's a lot of things that dealers are doing there are also apps can you use there is a bunch of different companies throughout that are all promoting that they can sell you a vehicle online. number one important thing to remember is that you must test drive the vehicle before you buy it because you will live with it at least three to five years and make sure it's what you want. jedediah: well, lauren, thank you so much. i am going to -- on the commercial break, begin disinfecting my car. >> we will get you some wipes. >> thanks. >> thanks so much. jedediah: president trump breaking some big news overnight announcing he will sign an immigration executive order that could create a pat to citizenship for daca recipients. acting dhs secretary chad wolf joins us live at the top of the hour. don't miss it.

♪ >> i'm going to be doing an immigration bill one of the aspects you will be very happy with and so am i and a lot of the republicans by the way is a daca a road to citizenship. jedediah: we begin with a fox news alert in the 7:00 a.m. hour. president trump revealing is he working on a merit based immigration order. griff: comes after the supreme court ended the bid to end daca. it will not include amnesty but not everyone is happy. pete: that's right including ted cruz tweeting. this. there is zero constitutional authority for a president to create a, quote: road to citizenship by executive fiat. it was unconstitutional when obama issued executive amnesty and would be a huge mistake if trump tries to illegally expand amnesty. well, we will get to that topic in a moment. welcome to the 7:00 a.m. eastern time hour of america's number one rated cable morning news

show "fox & friends" on the weekend. it's july 11th, the year of our lord, 2020. i'm joined by jedediah bila and griff jenkins in washington. good morning to you both. griff: good morning. pete: good morning. jedediah: good morning. pete: somebody tolls say good morning to as well perfect guest for this hour acting dhs secretary chad wolf. chad, thank you so much for being on the program. we appreciate it. so we got a glimpse yesterday of what the president might be talking about. he kind of teased this idea of a road to citizenship for daca recipients. yet, you heard what the senator, ted cruz tweeted, hey, it wasn't something that was legal by executive fiat under the obama administration. how can a president now create a pathway to citizenship -- how could president trump do that? we don't know a lot about what this executive order or bill might look like. help us out. >> sure, think we are talking about two different things here. we are talking about an executive order that the president discussed yesterday. where he wants to establish that

merit-based immigration system that he has been talking about for some time now. the department of homeland security has taken steps in recent years to start going down that path. so, i think that's what the president is talking about regarding the executive order. regarding daca, he has been very clear that he wants to find a lasting solution for these -- that population. we got to work with congress to do it. unfortunately what we have seen from some members of congress over the last two and a half years they are not willing to sit down at the table and negotiate. the president has been very clear as we find that lasting solution, we also need to address the underlying issues that keep creating these illegal populations coming into the country. what we don't want to be is another two years sitting down at the table trying to find a lasting solution to a different set of individuals coming into the country. so, not only does he want to find a solution for daca, but he also wants to find some lasting changes to the immigration system. i think everyone will agree our

current immigration system is broken and it needs to be fixed. griff: right. so, mr. secretary, let me press you a little bit on clarifying. i think what senator cruz heard and many americans heard was that this executive order would include a path to citizenship, a road to citizenship for the daca recipients and, of course, when president obama crated the dhs pram to begin with it was only temporary. this is something permanent. can you give us more clarification as to what this means and what any action in the coming months will be for the citizenship question for daca recipients? specifically when we look for solution for daca 700, 750,000 individuals in the country. what we know is that program is unlawful program. the supreme court indicated that dhs has all the authority it needs to rescind that program they didn't like the way we did

and it taking a look at supreme court decision and making decisions we need. to say when we talk about lasting solution and talk about a pat to citizenship. obviously that's going to involve congress. the president has been very clear is he going to does much as he can within the executive privilege he has. we will need congress to find a lasting this group. this population can have that path to citizenship it. is going to take that effort from congress, otherwise, we would have done this months and years ago. >> chad i want to ask you about the drug cartels and issue people have when it comes to border security. president trump sent a strong message when it comes to cartels. listen to what he had to say. >> you will not threaten our citizens and poison our children and you will not infiltrate our borders. we will find you and we will stop you and we will put

everybody that we find behind bars. this has resulted in the interdiction of more than 120 metric tons, does anyone know how much that is? of illicit narcotic these actions have denied the cartel billions of various cartels of billions and billions of dollars and cash and prevented the loss of untold american lives and we have seen the results in the united states. jedediah: your reaction, chad? chad chad the president has taken real issu on this issue. while we have many threats facing the homeland there is probably not one more important than the illicit drugs affecting americans every single day. the president whether i have traveled with him down to the border. we were down at the border last month talking about effective border wall system.

again, part of that solution on keeping illicit drugs out of the country or whether we are down in u.s. south come in miami yesterday with the president talking about the efforts, the men and woman of the coast guard, men and women of the u.s. navy intradicketding those illicit drugs coming into the u.s. the president, we have had past administrations talk about the drug issue. perhaps admired it. and the president has really taken some effective action here to stop those elicit drugs from coming into the country. pete: mr. secretary, one you have a lot on your plate, another aspect is the lawlessness we have seen in this country over the last many months in the streets what should be peaceful protest turn violent. portland police officer was hit in the head with a hammer by a man trying to break down the door of a federal courthouse. now, dhs has said you are going to deploy portland, seattle and washington, d.c. under the

president's orders federal property and monuments. what will do you when you find this individual and what is the department doing to protect federal courthouses, monuments, things like that? >> sure. so we have about 9,000 federal properties that the department of homeland security through our federal protective service guards and monitors every day. what we know is there are certain locations you mentioned portland and seattle and others that are a focus for this civil unrest. what the department has done over the past several weeks is we have deployed rapid deployment teams to supplement our fps officers there on site. portland is a great example. portland has been in a stated of chaos five and a half to six weeks. every night we see violent criminals trying to break down. trying to get into that federal courthouse. federal courthouse is where law and order takes place. and we have again, violent

criminals, shooting commercial style fireworks, molotov cocktails into that courthouse. and so what the department did, is we deployed teams there we are starting to arrest individuals. fbi, doj are starting to prosecute those individuals. so we need to take a very firm and effective stance on situations like portland. unfortunately we are not getting the support we need from local law enforcement there in portland that's unfortunate. again, what the president has been very clear on is if the locals won't address this issue. then we will step in and do it. particularly as we talk about federal facilities, federal courthouse there in portland, we have department of homeland security and we have department of justice and other assets there that will continue to protect that courthouse and other facilities around the city. griff: acting dhs secretary chad wolf thank you very much for that please keep us posted and particularly to your officers out in portland, we hope that they will be safe and continue to get that situation under control. thank you, mr. secretary.

pete: god bless them. thank you, sir. >> thank you. griff: turning now to your headlines starting with a fox news alert. the president commuting exadvisor roger stone's 40 month prison sentence days before it was to start. i says president trump likely saved his life. >> i'm confident that i could win on appeal but i have to live long enough to get to the appeal and at 67 years old with history of respiratory problems and other underlying issues the danger was very real. griff: the white house called stone a i have. russian hoax who suffered at the hands of out-of-control special counsel. >> so many people, so many good people were caught up in this russian hoax. this was perpetrated by over zealous democrats, partisan hacks, trying to take down a president. the president is doing the right thing by trying to write some of the wrongs of the part shanship of the past. griff: stone convicted of witness stamp persian and lying to congress. he was set to report to prison

jedediah: we are back with extreme weather. overnight tropical depression fay weakening to a post tropical sigh lone as it moves over new york. heavy rains and winds batter parts of the east coast. pete: post tropical. lara, good morning. >> good morning, guys. man, we certainly got it here yesterday.

this is right where we were doing our live shot and we saw a lot of rain, high gusts and tropical storm fay as it was known certainly brought a lot of punch to it. but things have started to settle down. now we are talking about the damage left behind. a lot of flooding. we want to show you some of the video that we got in overnight of some of the things that happened around our region. the tropical warning that had been issued from long island, new york to rhode island have ended. but take a look at some of the flooding left behind in new jersey where local officials were forced to close beaches after the storm filled shore towns with several inches of water after making landfall yesterday afternoon in the garden state. that is where some spots like wildwood, new jersey saw up to five inches of rain. some say that's how much rain usually falls i in the entire month of july. the massive rainfall caused problems all over the northeast. in new york city the subway system had water falls inside

under ground and pools of rain run off, lakes and puddles spotted everywhere. delaware had several inches of rain and in new hampshire the threat was so severe it caused the white house to postpone a campaign rally that president donald trump had planned to hold tonight. the event will now take place in what we have been told is a week or two. they are working on that rescheduling. businesses, right? it's summer, it's covid-19, so many businesses have been taking a hit and they really look forward to these summer weekends. last night was a total washout for outdoor dining. so businesses say they are going to try and salvage what they can and rip tides also a very big concern. the day after a big storm, we will see surfers try to get out in the water. officials say please try not to do that because it is very dangerous. we had a very serious situation down the road here on long island on thursday night. 9 people had to be pulled out. one person died, a young man, please be careful if you hitting the beach this weekend.

it's great to be here and talk a little nascar on a saturday morning. griff: yes, indeed. now, i have got to ask you first, lindsey, what happened? fists were flying last night on friday night. what prompted that and what's going to come of it? >> well, you know what? there has been a lot of talk. we will have to see. it was a lot of confusion. i think what's going to come with it, we don't know. we have got to wait and see how it plays out. that he was the thing you have got to love about this sport is the fact that when emotions are flying. there is a lot of time to digest and process what happened. so, we're going to have to see. but this race at kentucky, this weekend, there is a lot on the line for a lot of drivers in the cup series and i think it's going to be really interesting to see what happens. the one thing i'm looking for mainly is kevin harvick because harvick is on such a roll. his team is so prepared for this track now. they have got their program exactly where they need it to be. kentucky is one track where he hasn't won yet. so i think when you look at what these guys have. a lot of different drivers think this is a huge opportunity this

weekend. griff: lindsey, you are pressing my buttons because i'm a denny hamlin fan. i have been admittedly a denny hamlin fan between the two of them harvick and hamlin are really neck in neck. does this weekend make a big determination on that? >> you know, i think it okay i mean, i think that they -- look, they still have ground to make up. depending on whichever way it goes. what i think about hamlin, look, is he one of my favorites, too, because he is always going to be in the top. is he such a great driver. i also love everything that now he is doing. is he posting all this stuff about being a dad. he is a really cool guy to follow. i think harvick is -- harvick has something special going on right now. when i talk to him during quarantine, part of me thinks this is kind of a balance thing going on for him. because he was experiencing this new world where he was at home, like they all were. he was finding a bay to enjoy his family more because he doesn't get to see them a lot

except when they are at the track together there was something that allowed him to gain a different perspective. anyway, that has computed in my eyes to the racetrack. for hamlin, any time hamlin comes close to winning and he doesn't win, look out for him the next week. so that's just howe i think about deny. denny is going to find a way to make it right. he is insanely competitive, as most drivers are. but you just can never count out denny hamlin. griff: now can't. harvick vs. hamlin what a great competition coming this weekend. we have tonight at 6:00 p.m. gander rv and outdoor truck series. buckle up your truck 225. and tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. eastern nascar cup series quaker state 400. definitely want to watch it. i will take hamlin. lindsey takes harvick. we will see what happens. lindsey, thanks for taking time. >> you got it, thank you. griff: all right. jed, over to you. jedediah: thanks, griff. as joe biden continues to lead president trump in the polls, michigan democrat elise slotkin

is telling her fellow party members not to trust the numbers. with the congressman explaining in 2016, quote: they fundamentally undercounted the trump vote. mark pence served as chief campaign strategist for hillary clinton's 2008 campaign and he joins us now. welcome to the show, mark, great to have you as always. >> good morning. jedediah: what do you make of that assessment that the trump vote is undercounted? >> well, it's too early to really say that. i mean, polls are a snapshot in time. my own polls at the harris poll showed that in the last two months, all of the sudden the president and the republicans nose dived as the president's ratings on the virus and racial discord took a nose dive compared to his ratings on the economy that still stayed up. so there is a real reason that these are falling off, but, there are phenomenon here like what i call snap back where people come back to who they

supported. i mean, look, i expect this race to be much closer. i think the turn here at this moment is quite real. jedediah: mark, is there a concern among democrats that voters, that democratic voters will stay home due to being uninspired by joe biden? >> i think that it is true that if i look at very enthusiastic about the candidate, trump has more enthusiasm, and when i screen it down to prime voters, it favors the republicans by a point or two. not this month but the previous month by a few points. but, you know, the exciting part of the campaign hasn't happened yet. right? the -- what we used to call when i did the 96 campaign labor day on that's when the electorate really gets involved and determines -- i believe this is going to be a super high turnout election. i have think everyone in america

is going to get more election communications than they even imagined. i think as you saw in the midterms. republicans and democrats will turn out in really very high number. jedediah: really quickly. we don't have a lot of time here, i would love to hear your choice for his vp pick. >> i never make vp picks because then if you are not right, the person says you are wrong. it's important biden pick someone that brings the party together but doesn't alienate swing voters. biden campaign now is making a big pitch. workers to move to the center avp pick that's too far to the left will reorient the race and give obviously the republicans an opportunity. jedediah: also an enthusiasm boost on the vp side wouldn't hurt. thanks, mark. >> that's when the race starts.

reopening. reopening doors despite surging covid-19 cases in florida. the state seeing 11,400 new cases nationwide setting a new record for a third day in a row with more than 66,000 new cases, bringing the total to nearly 3.2 million. pete: yes, a lot more testing happening in the united states. let's bring in representative michael waltz former green beret commander. congressman, thank you so much for being on the program this morning. disney world set to reopen today. i'm glad i won't be there but a lot of happy people will. when you look at the increase in cases in florida, of course, it correspondence win ceased testing. how you keep reopening in light of the fact that covid-19 is, you know, it's still here? >> well, we have tested in florida about 10% of the overall population. a little over 2 million out of 22 million. so, part of the increase is due

to the increase in testing. in fact, health and human services just opened a series of surge testing sites around the state. but, again, what i'm focused on is on hospitalization and on death rate. florida, unfortunately, has had almost 4,000 deaths but that is nothing compared to what we have seen in new york, and what we have seen in other places. and the thing that i keep focusing on is we have parents within the state of this virus and those local officials are taking appropriate measures. but what the left wants to see are mandatory statewide actions or mandatory nationwide actions and comparing the panhandle of florida, which is very rural, very open downtown miami is like comparing wyoming to, i don't know, downtown manhattan. you know, it is completely different. they have had a completely different experience. and the other piece with disney opening, disney employees over

50,000 people in the central florida region. those people have to get back to work. we cannot just keep everything shut down until a vaccine is found. but that's what people like governor cuomo are advocating for. that's just not reasonable. that could be another year from now by the time it's fully manufactured and districted. so, we have to find ways to do this safely. disney is putting precautions in place from temperature checks to masks, to hand sanitizer and then there has been a lot of criticism of the convention. we are going to put testing in place so that everybody that comes in jacksonville convention center into the arena will have been tested that day or they won't come in. jedediah: congressman, obviously a lot of people will be watching, disney to see how this unfolds especially because we are having conversations about schools reopening and what the protocol should be and whatnot. i want to shift with you over to 2020 election politics a little

bit. president trump has recently accused joe biden of pushing some pro-communist policies. let's take a listen to what he had to say and i want to get your reaction. >> by den wants to defund the police. he wants to call the cops the enemy, which he did the other day, leaving every citizen at the mercy of a socialist mob or a mob far worse than socialism was ever meant to be. biden has pledged to reinstate the pro-communist policies of the obama-biden administration. they were pro-communist policies. the deal he made with cuba is ridiculous. jedediah: is that description fair pro-communist policies of the obama administration? >> i think conservatives and republicans reasonably behinded independents need to wake up to what is going to happen if joe biden is sitting in the white house. there has been a lot of focus on who he is going to pick for vice president because he is weak. he doesn't really have a vision for the country that's going to

be the vice president in charge. i don't think that's accurate. it's going to be nancy pelosi that is going to run washington, d.c. she is already basically running the senate in addition to the house in terms of the democrats over there. if we louise the white house, we will probably have lost the senate. and that first year she is going to be slamming progressive bills on the president's desk saying sign here. this is not hot air out of bernie or hot air out of aoc. i'm seeing every day in the house the bills that they are passing, green new deal provisions, government run healthcare. defunding the police. and-on-and on and on. and those will sail through the senate and right into law. we need to wake up this will be the tail wagging the dog. pelosi only won speakership by two votes. that means progressives when come again this next january are going to say speaker pelosi, if you want to be speaker again, they will have her. and those progressive policies

will become law in the united states of america. that's why this election is so critical and we need to turn out and vote on the republican side. griff: congressman, just with the seconds we have left. your reaction to biden's economic plan. he, of course, saying buy american, entrepreneurship, accusing him of plagiarism. look, you look within the content of the plan and you see capital gains rising, corporate taxes rises. what would a biden presidency be for the economy? >> well, it's going to go right back to heavy regulation, high taxes, growth-killing, job killing policies. and the thing i think this president, president trump has done that will be transformational for generations is taking on china and taking on unfair trade practices around the world. leveling that playing field. getting the new nafta deal, the usmca in place and unleashing the american worker, entrepreneurship and things like

we just saw in the amazing spacex launch that just happened is what this president is about. and i think the end of the day this is going to come down to who can get our economy back to where it was soaring for everyone, minorities, women and everyone else included and who is going to be tough on china existential threat of our next generation. pete: amen. jedediah: congressman michael waltz thank you four joining us today we appreciate it? >> all right. jedediah: we are going to turn to headlines now. new underwater footage for the search for actress naya rivera released while combing through the southern california lake's floor. divers can only see one foot in front of them. the actress presumed dead after her son was found alone sleeping on that boat on wednesday. 4-year-old told police they went for a swim and his mom never

>> brett bacon struggling to keep the giant bird calm after pulling it out of the florida. he was with his family in a lake in canada when he spotted that eagle. he said he was trying to prove onto his son he was cool. and those are your headlines. i think he proved it pretty well, pete? pete: yeah. those are dangerous birds. you pull one of those out of the water you better know a little bit about what you are doing. his son didn't look that interested. some day he will be and he did it not just for his son but for america. very cool. rick, you know about outdoor things. would you grab a bald eagle out of the water? >> yeah. i mean, if i needed. to say. >> only if there was a video camera though. you got to have proof. it's not worth it if you don't share it. rick: i actually don't care about that at all. you are right. they are way bigger than you think think are when you get that close to them. pretty amazing to see. all right, guys. so we are in hurricane season. just bringing this up because there is a lot of activity

already. we just had our sixth storm. this is generally how a summer pattern holds up. we have got this big area of high pressure. storms move around this and sometimes they get -- this high pressure gets nudged off towards the east and makes storms stay out to sea. they go in parts of the caribbean or eastern seaboard. we have another one. >> sometimes they form real close to land. that's what happened with this storm that we had that just made landfall yesterday. fay making landfall yesterday. new jersey, these storms when you see them across parts of the northeast usually that's a later hurricane season thing like a september-october. but, here you go. we have had it already. these are our names this year. we are already just now through our sixth name. likely get a little bit past that. probably within the next couple weeks here. another story we are -- we will be watching the next two weeks. get ready heat is building. right now across the desert southwest. also continue to build this weekend across parts of the deep south here and in towards texas. this pattern is going to be our pattern we are going to be talking about really high

schooled all five of her children. with her now proclaiming justice to the nation. lori kardosa moore. thank you for being on the program this morning. i was very heartened to see what the president tweeted. we know universities have been left wing indoctrination camps for decades. what we miss is the curriculum high schools and middle schools. have you done homework. i'm going to put up quotes from textbooks that you have found and get your reaction. here is one. a u.s. history textbook on the constitution. this is from mcgraw hill. 2019 in schools across america. the constitution implicitly endorsed the unequal and discriminatory treatment of african-americans. is that the whatten do substitution endorsed? >> no. absolutely not, pete. and this is the problem. and this is what we have been trying to highlight for the last decade. this really came in through common core this propaganda. the constitution does not and did not endorse slavery. it didn't even mention slavery. but this propaganda is taught to

our children. no longer do we even teach our children about the founding of our country. we don't tell our kids the story about the puritans, the sacrifices that they made. we don't talk about the american revolution anymore. we'll don't talk about hyde soleman who help bank roll the american revolution with george washington. now we start at reconstruction when you start at the civil war, the darkest time in our history, this is no surprise that we see chaos erupting in our communities. this is an outrage. it is -- poses the greatest national security threat to our constitutional republic and as americans, not just parents, this is not just a parent issue, if you don't have children in the school, you still have a dog in this fight. because this is all about our constitution and can we preserve it for future generations.

pete: absolutely. you have scores of these examples. i will do one more we don't have enough time to get to all of them. you spoke of the civil war. talk about the republican party get into politics. republican party a new political father created in 1854 that was dedicated to stopping the spread of slavery in any place in the nation where it did not exist. this from pearson. was it about stopping the spread or was the republican party. anna: at this slavery party? >> the republican party was opposed to slavery. it was the democrats. it was the democrats who were members of the ku klux klan. it was robert byrd. we remember him, a famous congressman who was a member of the ku klux klan. it was not the republican party. lincoln was a member of the republican party. he set out to abolish slavery. , this again, is disinformation. if you listen to the children, if you listen to the comments made by these kids in the streets of our cities with the chaos, you can hear the propaganda that is promoted to

them. pete: if you look at these sources that you have pearson, mcgraw hill, these are prominent mainstream textbooks in government schools across the country. we have got to go we don't have time. the way they describe trump and the way they describe ronald reagan it would knock your socks off. i love your work. love to have you back for a longer syncment about that. we appreciate it. up next cancel culture over 100 journalists and other big names penned a letter to end the insanity. we will discuss after the break. my gums are irritated.

i don't have to worry about that, do i? harmful bacteria lurk just below the gum line. crest gum detoxify, voted product of the year. it works below the gum line to neutralize harmful plaque bacteria and help reverse early gum damage. gum detoxify, from crest.

imagine zion published open letter signed by 150 journalists, writers and academics calling for an end to

cancel culture. pete: included among the signatory j.k. rawling, steinem. bary weis and noam chomsky. griff: here to react is iraq war veteran turning point u.s.a. spokesperson and author of "always a soldier" rob schmitt. rob spate smith rob, good morning. >> good morning. griff: the hog warts might need a new one revolving around fairness. what do you make of this? >> we talk a lot on this show about cancel culture and twitter mobs. we think of nameless, faceless people coming together to create cancel culture. the truth is right now the loudest voices in the twitter mob have blue check marks by their name on twitter and they also represent some very elite institutions, your "new york

times," your "the washington post" of the world. and these people come together to shut down voices that don't have the quote, unquote, correct opinion on a lot of different things that really matter nowadays. and that initial letter, what you saw were people like obviously j.k. rowling was the most well-known person but you had a lot of other people coming together and saying that we need more rigorous and open debate. in fact, shutting down debate and silencing opposition is something that is dangerous for our society. and mind you, that this was not coming from a conservative site at all. because these people all, you know, stood up. they are very anti-the president. they are very anti-conservative. these are liberals that are saying. this and then this other letter comes out that comes out to shame all of these people it has nothing to do with any of the ideas that they put out. it has nothing to do with anything. but they start this new letter by shaming these people for being wealthy, for being white. they call harper a racist

institution. if any of that sounds familiar to you, this is because this is the language that they use to shut down debate. and when you talk about j.k. rowling, for example, now, this is obviously an icon for women and authors in general. one of the biggest names on this list if not the biggest name. j.k. rowling has come under fire for her opinions about the transgender movement. she is very open to transgender people. she has been very good in that regard. but she has also decided to defend women spaces. and she has gotten slammed and dragged all over twitter. you know, her speech -- they are calling her transphobic. they are saying that her speech is violent. so we need to end cancel culture right now that's what the original letter was all about. griff: all right, rob smith strong words there. we will see where this goes. thank you for joining us today. pete: thanks, rob. >> thank you. griff: big show still ahead.

♪ it's the easiest because it's the cheesiest. kraft. for the win win. saturday edition of "fox & friends." and we start this hour with a fox news alert. as we follow two big breaking stories from the white house first president trump commuting roger stone's 30 month prison sentence days before it was set to start. griff: meanwhile the president says he will sign an executive order to establish a merit-based immigration system that could include some protections for dreamers. >> i'm going to be doing an

immigration bill. one of the aspects of the bill that you will be happy with and including me and a lot of the republicans by the way will be daca. we will give them a road to citizenship. jedediah: the white house says it would not include amnesty. welcome, everyone, this is our 8:00 a.m., "fox & friends" saturday morning. thank you for joining us. i'm here with pete hegseth and griff jenkins. obviously a lot of news to cover. a lot of controversial news too particularly with respect to immigration. president trump taking heat from conservatives saying hold on a second. if you are going to do something like a path to citizenship, pete, we can't do that by executive order. obviously it held president obama accountable on action via executive order and president trump is facing some heat by republicans as well. pete: one of the president's allies senator ted cruz tweeted in in response to the interview the president gave outlining what it might look like. he said there is zero constitutional authority for a president to create a road to

citizenship by executive fiat. it was unconstitutional when obama issued executive amnesty and it would be a huge mistake if trump tries to illegally expand amnesty. #tell the swamp no #rule of law. we had chad wolf the acting dhs secretary to ask for clarification what does this mean? would it be done by executive order or are you seeking legs? it sounds like when it comes to daca, it would have to be a bill, which would be consistent with what the president has said before. listen to chad wolf. >> when we try to find that lasting solution for daca for the daca recipients. about 700, 750,000 individuals here in the country. what we know is that 3r578 i prn lawful program. we talk about potentially a pat to citizenship. obviously that's going to involve congress. the president has been very clear is he going to do as much as he can within the executive privilege that he has, but at the end of the day, we are going to need congress to find that lasting solution to determine whether or not this group, this

population can have that path to citizenship it. is going to take that effort from congress. otherwise, we would have done this months and years ago. pete: guy, an important point on this just like you could understand that ronald reagan was a credible person to negotiate nuclear freezes with the ussr because you knew how anti-communist he was. in this case you know how strong president trump is on rule of law and stopping illegal immigration, whatever he is trying to do here with merit-based immigration on executive order or in working with congress for some sort of a pathway, comes from a lens of having strong borders and not allowing illegal activity. so i think this is one of those moments where you kind of wait to see what it is without getting too far out in front of it and saying hey does it look like overreach? griff: that's a great pointed, pete. remember, the supreme court didn't knock down the program dockca. they just simply said that this administration did not meet the administrative procedures act and needs to refile it.

i think what the president may be doing here is putting back on the table an immigration bill conversation. because, remember, when the president wanted to essentially trade money for a wall for citizenship for dreamers, it was democrats that walked away from that table. pete: great point, griff. griff: now saying going to do an executive order to introduce this merit-based immigration plan brings back into focus something that perhaps two parties could get together. whether or not speaker pelosi and minority leader schumer are interested in that, we will have to find out. i think the interview in that news yesterday, very significant we will see where it goes, jed. jedediah: yeah, you know, pete, you may be right about the lens through which these things happen. that maybe true in terms of the president trump vs. president obama. but, if you don't want -- you know, whether you believe that these things can and should happen by executive fiat, that should be unilateral, i didn't like it when president obama did it. i certainly wouldn't like it if president trump were to issue

something like pathway to citizenship through executive fiat. chad, we were talking with him earlier. he seemed to say that it would involve coming. and he says well, obviously it would involve congress. it wasn't obvious. that's why people like ted cruz responded because it wasn't obvious to them what it sounded like to ted cruz and myself and many others is executive fiat would be used for this merit-based immigration plan and for daca. so, just to keep in mind, the procedure by which these things happen is important. it was important for the last administration. it will be important for this one. and conservatives will have, i think, by and large, a problem with that message. even if they agree with the outcome or agree with the larger lens of the president that method will be highly controversial. pete: imagine what a executive pen would look like for a president joe biden as he swipes away the border and walls and gives everything possible to illegals. fair point on executive orders and overreach. it sounds like the secretary clarified that the merit-based system would be the executive order. and it would require legislation

to provide a pathway to citizenship. something no president can just deem happening to people. so we will see. jedediah: yes. we shall see. we will see for sure. we are going to turn to some breaking news overnight for you now. roger stone's sentence commuted. lucas tomlinson joins us live with reaction. lucas, what's the latest? >> starting last week roger stone was supposed to start a jail term of over three years. last time roger stone defended general flynn. >> but between now and the time it ends, i'm going to do everything i possibly can to see that there is justice for general michael flynn. [cheers] >> all right: excellent. >> because it is outrageous that he is in this situation. this man is innocent. he's a war hero. he has served his country with distinction. they have destroyed him and his family financially. we know what that is all about. so i'm going to do everything i can to get mike flynn.

>> now the justice department has released a memo three and a half years old saying that general flynn's defense team is asking what took so long for this vital piece of evidence to come out which looks to appear he is innocent. the memo says, quote: general flynn denied having conversations about sanctions with the russian ambassador. fbi advised that based on this interview they did not believe general flynn was acting as an agent of russia. recall one of the agents who interviewed flynn was now fired fbi agent peter strzok. doj moved to dismiss the charges against flynn in may. last month the d.c. court of appeals in a 2-1 decision poofd to shut down the persian cushion against flynn. back to the memo general flynn's attorney said yet these documents provide more compelling evidence to general flynn's consent to and government's motion to dismiss. in short, there was no crime for many reasons. these documents were known to exist at the highest levels of the justice department and special counsel yet they were hidden from the defense for three years. as you know president trump commuted roger stone's prison

sentence. we await to hear the president's reaction with this breaking news. pete: almost too poetic that the president takes what i think is a great move to commute roger stone's sentence a guy that was targeted in ways no one on the left was for what they did to president trump. and on the same day, we get this letter from the fbi, internal memo that shows that they didn't believe michael flynn was an agent of russia and they didn't believe he was lying. if he said something inconsistent with the transcript, it wasn't for the purposes of deception. that was a piece of evidence they had in january of 2017. yet, they tried to destroy his life just like roger stone's. the president has the power to commute that sentence. roger stone, today, a free man and i think that's a good thing for this country. griff: yeah. not just a piece of evidence. exculpatory evidence which is what sidney powell is harping on. it will be interesting to see where that goes. meanwhile, the president well aware that we have an election in less than four months saying that his opponent, former vice president joe biden is a put pet for the radical left.

here is what he said in miami yesterday, listen. >> joe biden and the radical left are trying to impose the same system, socialism plus in america. biden is a puppet of bernie sanders, aoc, the militant left. nobody will be safe in a biden america. but biden doesn't know what a biden america is if you ask him to define it, he wouldn't even know what it is, but other people do. and he will have radical people running that. republicans are the party of freedom. democrats are the party of socialism and worse. griff: there you go, jed. jedediah: biden is trying to be a crowd pleaser at this point. seems like he is trying to make everyone happy on the left e he doesn't know what to do. he knows he has enthusiasm gap and knows people aren't excited about him. now he has to pick a vp generates some enthusiasm. worried about people staying home because they are not excited to vote for him and get out and support him. he is trying to be what everybody wants him to be. sounds like he stands for

nothing. picking slogans. i truly don't understand what he is going to do if he gets elected. heavy pressure on that v.p. pick to stand up and generate the enthusiasm and articulated that message what they are going to do what joe biden is going to do. pete: new slogan build back better sounds like a focus group tested try to say make america great again but you can't say that and he copies a lot of america first language but underneath it is a carcass of socialism reparations, social justice, open borders, so they dress it up to try to appeal to certain swing voters. if you watch tv, if you watch the nba, if you have ever watched tnt you know charles barclay. the guy is wonderful on television because you never quite know what he is going to say and you don't always agree with him but he is blunt about it. chuck came out and made some statements about professional sports and what we're seeing

that are catching a lot of eyes this morning. watch. >> i think what's happening now, we turn it into a circus. you know, we are going to spend all our time instead of talking about racial equality and racial justifiable and economic justice we spend our time who is dealing and not dealing. what things are being said on buses. what is being said on jerseys. i think we are missing the point. wee need police reform. we need prison reform and we need -- knows are the number one and two things we need to focus on. my concern is turning this thing into a circus instead of trying to do some good stuff. griff: sir charles there. you are right, pete. getting in front of what could lose focus if you will just as all of america is ready for all sports to come back. pete: when you turn on the nfl or nba i don't want to say is it the black national anthem today are we kneeling or standing every everyone is kneeling.

what's on the back of the jersey black lives matter. i can't breathe. can't watch a sport. we don't need awoke circus. we can address things without turning people off. griff: comes at a time when we still have some unrest in our streets. we begin your headlines with a fox news alert. a protester hits a federal officer in the head with a hammer. police throwing tear gas to disperse the crowd around the portland federal courthouse. the officer was struck in the head and shoulder when he walked out of the building while protesters were trying to break down the door. acting department of homeland security secretary chad wolf joined us earlier weighing in on the lawlessness. >> portland has been in a state of chaos for about five and a half to six weeks every night we see violent, violent criminals. we are starting to arrest individuals. fbi, doj are starting to prosecute those individuals. so we need to take a very firm and effective stance.

griff: as the secretary notes police recovered this hammer from the scene. most magical place opened. reopening this morning despite surging covid-19 cases in florida. the state seeing more than 11,400 new cases. florida congressman michael waltz joined us earlier saying statewide restrictions isn't the answer. >> comparing the panhandle of florida which is very rural, very open to say diane downtown mimg is like comparing wyoming to downtown manhattan. griff: the u.s. setting a new record for a third day in a row with more than 66,000 new cases bringing the total to new year y 3.2 million. tropical fay weakening to a post tropical low as it moves over new york not before leaving massive flooding in its path.

winds and rain battering new jersey. streets looking more like lakes. in new york city streams of water gushing into the subway. look at that. those are your headlines. jed? pete: water fall in the city. jedediah: some crazy, crazy flooding there. yeah. when you see it in the city sometimes it's so startling especially in those subways. coming up, a veto-proof majority of seattle city council members pledge to defund its police department by 50%. the president of a police union in seattle joins us next and he says the city's true majority is being silenced. don't miss it. tell that to the rain.

[ beeping ] for those who were born to ride, there's progressive.

pool pete majority of city council by 50%. the plan would allocate police funding to social services even including a proposal to remove 911 dispatchers from police control. so what's morale among local law enforcement there right now? here to discuss, president of the seattle police officers guild mike solon. mike, 50% cut, taking away dispatcher control from the police what are you sighing in your department? >> hey, pete, thanks for having me on again. it's a pleasure to be here. >> the insanity and unreasonableness activism continues with the seattle city council socialist leaning council members have control of the public safety discourse in our city and the reality is they have our entire reasonable majority of citizens of seattle hostage by their activism.

it's absolutely a travesty what's occurring in seattle. i want your viewership to understand seattle is leading the way in how public safety will be conducted from this day forward and if our reasonable community across this city, our state, and more importantly our nation don't wake up, this is no longer in front of us in our doorstep, they are coming through the door. this is a significant problem where crime will rise significantly and over half, if not more of the police jobs in our city will be eviscerated. this is coming in to your neighborhood if we don't wake up and stop this socialist threat immediately. pete: wow. mike, the police chief in seattle agrees with you. here's what she said. >> i think you, the word plan is rather loose here. they haven't got a plan.

all they have shown us is that they want to reduce the budget by 50%. i haven't seen any real planning in that. and the real tragedy of doing that, you know, is that we will lose 1100 employees. pete: what happens to that majority when you have half the amount of cops on the street? >> the reasonable majority, and i refer to them now as the ignored majority think will be plagued with crime. where there voice. as police officers we are engaging in this reimagining or re-envisioning police services to our city as we must because we serve at the will of the community. sadly, this socialist city council controlled by a certain group of individuals that have the entire council, if not more importantly are ignored majority hostage by their political antics must be stopped.

you are the only network drawing attention to this. i greatly appreciate how you have brought attention to this and, please, if anybody wants to contribute, help us, please reach us at seattle police officers.org to help stop this insanity. pete: unfortunately you are on the front lines of what happens when you disrespect and defund police and ask to deal with it. good luck god bless those officers. >> thank you, sir. pete: thank you. still ahead, you know her from the hit show say yes to the dress. now lori allen is giving back to front line workers. brides to be and you possibly. she joins us live to explain coming up. ... and staying active? on it! audrey thinks she's doing all she can to manage

vilifies but the they stand with president trump. griff: president responding to biden laying out economic plan this week. a lot in it that isn't similar to what the president has done. of course, that buy american stuff, the president calling it out. taktake a listen. >> he plagiarize plagiarized fre can never pull it off. he likes plagiarizing. it's a plan that's very radical left. he said the right things because is he copiying what i have done. the difference is he can't do it and he knows he is not doing that can't be the same because he is raising taxes way too much. he is raising everybody's taxes. he is also putting tremendous amounts of regulations back on and those two things are two primary reasons that i crated the greatest economy we have ever had. and now we are creating it again. griff: corey, your reaction? >> you know, it's amazing, because the media gave joe biden a pass once again. he goes back to scranton,

pennsylvania, which they call his hometown. he hasn't lived there in 66 years. the statute of limitations of calling a place your home expired after 65 years. okay, it's not his hometown. joe biden is not from scranton, pennsylvania. the truth is he knows he has never delivered for the people of pennsylvania. because when barack obama and joe biden were in office, they took all the manufacturing jobs and they shipped them overseas to china. that's what joe biden has done sings he has been elected to office. donald trump said it's very simple. it's america first. we are going to buy american. we are going to hire americans. joe biden knows that that is a winning message and that's why he is stealing it from president trump. pete: he has been in public office longer than i have been alive and where has his push been to buy american and hire american until he is trying to copycat. you look at the plan and littered with universal healthcare, free college, reparations, blocking charter schools. it is ultimately a socialist and globalist wish list. but, corey, i have got to get your reaction, because the

president last night commuted the sentence of roger stone and tweeted about it just moments ago. said roger stone was targeted by an illegal witch-hunt that never should have taken place. it's the other side that are criminals including biden and obama who spied on my campaign and got caught. your reaction, corey? >> look, i think roger stone was treated very unfairly they used more men to go and get roger stone than they used on the usama bin laden raid. just so happened one of the networks was there to watch the whole thing. roger stone was clearly targeted by unfair prosecution. look, i'm not the biggest fan of roger stone, i think you guys know that but the way he was treated by this government should scare the hell out of every american that they can do that to people, they can do it to everybody. what they have done to mike flynn and roger stone. this president saw an injustice. he commuted the sentence which is the right thing to do to make sure roger has a fair trial and has a fair hearing is very important in our system.

comey, brennan, clapper, mccabe, all the names we know have never been brought to justice. it's time justifiable is blind but those people need to be held accountable. griff: corey, is there some hypocrisy perhaps at play the democrats in washington criticizing this commutation. when we look into the history book, president obama issued 1715 commutations. the most of any president in u.s. history, and pretty much about the last dozen or so combined presidents more than 500 of those commutations were for life sentences. doesn't seem that there was as much criticism then. >> hey, griff, there is nothing to see here. if obama did it musten be fine. must be fine if trump does it it's wrong. that's the media have had since he came down that big gold beautiful casey later. pete: thank you very much for your time go. paint your lawn. if you are dedicated you will

dungy's response to don lemon? >> i was quite unsure about what don was talking about as well. speaking with don, actually, he does agree that jesus was sinless. he has another opinion about what the word perfect means. the bible is very clear when it talks about the fact that jesus is able to empathize with us in our weaknesses because he went through temptation but in that he was sinless. he did not sin. so, i think this is really just highlights the fact that as believers, we need to always point people to scripture. we need to understand scripture. we need not speak about our opinion. our opinions don't matter. what matters is what is clearly stated in the word of god. coach dungy is a great friend of mine. i respect everything that he says and behind him 100 percent calling him out most importantly like i said before and telling other people the truth about jesus being fully god and fully man and coming to save us from our sin. griff: ben, let me take you now

to everyone in america waiting for the nfl to come back. hopefully a shortened preseason and get to see the teams on the field finally, teams are reportedly going to forbid the post game interactions which we have been watching forever and they can't be within 6 feet of each other of course they are looking to ban the jersey exchange between players during the entire 2020 season. how would that each work? >> i don't know, honestly, the nfl last not agreed to any of these game day protocols. even though it's been stated that they have. the nfl has not agreed to these. it seems quite nonsensical to play a heated battle of football close quarters nfl full contact three and a half hours including pregame warm-ups and going into the locker room and stretching all those social things not to mention the actual contested 60 minutes and then forbid the five minutes afterwards where guys

exchange jerseys. if it is safe enough to play, it's safe enough to exchange a jerusalem i can't understand safe enough to say hello to a guy that you just competed against. i think that the larger question is here and larger point is here that employers have a due diligence to provide a safe work environment. that's what is trying to happen between the nfl and nfl pa to figure out what's the safest ways for guys to be able to come back and work in the business of football. griff: spoken like a true championship champ ben watson thank you very much. have a great saturday. >> thank you, you too. griff: coming up viral video of 8-month-old baby thrown into a pool making sparks online. instructor behind the infant swim program next.

my child. that i am a terrible mom and i don't know what i'm doing and that i'm endangering and traumatizing my son. jedediah: hay, will what i is an infant survival class? >> so, an infant survival class basically is just making sure that a baby gets water safe. infants considered 6 months to one year. but we teach infant survival up to all ages. basically making sure that if anything were to happen to them if they fall off a boat. if they don't have anyone watching them, if they were to fall the n. in the water. >> haley, not to interrupt you we have a little bit of a demo and want you to walk us through it. oliver is in the pool with instructor jill. tell us what we are seeing as we look at the pool and look at oliver and jill? >> so right now, ms. jill is just playing with him.

their first few lessons are getting them comfortable in the water. >> wow, thank you all for being here and showing us this. it's definitely been a lesson for us all. we have more "fox & friends" coming up on the other side. (grilled cheese sizzles) (timer chimes)

pete: welcome to the final hour of "fox & friends" on this saturday morning. fourth quarter, seventh inning stretch, and we start with a fox news alert as we follow two big breaking stories from the white house. first up, president trump says he will sign an executive order to establish a merit-based immigration system or it could be legislation that provides some protection for dreamers. >> be doing an immigration bill. one of the aspects of the bill that you'll be very happy with that a lot of people -- and a lot of republicans, by the way -- will be daca. we'll give them a road to citizenship. griff: also breaking right now, the president has commuted ex-adviser roger stone's 40-month prison sentence.

stone says president trump likely saved his life. >> i'm confident that i could win on appeal, but i'd have to live long enough to get to the appeal. and at 67 years old with a history of respiratory problems and other underlying health issues, the danger was very real. jedediah: stone was convicted of witness tampering and lying to congress. he was set to report to prison on tuesday. thank you all once again for joining us in this 9 a.m. hour and all morning right here on "fox & friends" here with pete hegseth, griff jenkins. big news day not only with respect to roger stone, but with respect to immigration and daca. what will happen by executive order, what does a merit-based immigration executive order look like, what does it involve. and, of course, immigration will be a key issue in the 2020 presidential election, so lots to be seen in terms of charity on this.

griff, let's get back to the commutation for a second and do a comparison. griff: most democrats blasting it from elizabeth warren to chuck schumer, and you can imagine what they said. however, they didn't necessarily criticize president obama who, by the way, let us show you, we looked up the number from 2009 to 2017. 1,715 commutations, the most granted by any president in history. hook deeper in those numbers, more than 500 were for life sentences. pete, it's pretty interesting that, you know, it's great if president obama does it, but, of course, it's a abuse of rule of law if it's president trump. pete: and the president has done, i believe, 330 commutations himself. of course, roger stone doesn't care what the haters say. he once said i revel in your hatred because if i wasn't defective, you wouldn't hate me. no surprise the democrats are coming out blasting him. we had corey lewandowski on

earlier talking, who's not known to be a big roger stone fan, but he talked about the justice, the fairness of this earlier on the program. watch. >> i just know it was clearly targeted by an unfair prosecution. i'm not the biggest fan of roger stone, i think you guys know that. but the way he was treated by this government should scare the hell out of every american. what they've done to mike flynn and roger stone, this president saw an injustice. he commuted the sentence to make sure roger has a fair trial and a fire hearing. it's -- fair hearing. it's very important in our system. comey, brennan, clap or, mccabe, all the names we know have never been brought to justice, it's time those people need to be held accountable. pete: a lot of people wondering where durham right now, when, if his investigation will come out. we didn't even mention the fact that general michael flynn, a document was released yesterday, we've been talking about it on

the program that shows the fbi knew in january of 2017 that he wasn't knowingly making false statements, and he wasn't an agent of russia. he wasn't trying to deceive. they knew that, but they continued with it anyway. so quite a con in our justice system -- contrast in our justice system versus, say, hillary clinton and her server in her basement which she said was an accident, and everyone just believed her. jedediah: another big topic, pete, that we've been talking a lot about is polling. president trump has been struggling in some polls. many have have said, listen, it's really too early to evaluate these polls. last election the polling was not indicative of the outcome. regardless, some have seen him strug. well, representative elise saw saw slot kin has talked a little bit about what a pollster told her. this is what the pollster said. the trump voter is not a voter in every single election. they come out for trump, so they're hard to count. on a survey if someone says i'm

not sure i'm going to vote, you don't usually continue the conversation. and some of them didn't have any desire to be on those poll calls. they didn't have the 20 minutes to talk to somebody, they didn't want to do it, so they were fundamentally undercounted. i believe that same thing happening right now. obviously, she's talking about what happened last i election when so many people predicted a win for hillary clinton and didn't expect all those trump supporters to come out and vote and, actually, they did. they got out the vote, and the result was a surprise to many. she's saying that could potentially be happening again, griff. griff: and let's point out that elisse is saw slot kin was a former veteran career cia analyst who flippedded a republican seat. president trump won that 8th michigan district by 7 points. she, of course, won and rode e into town, so i don't think you can discount really the seriousness of what she's saying and what she sees as the reality on the ground. mark penn, former e chief strategist for the clinton

campaign, was on the show earlier this morning, and here's a little bit of what he had to say. >> snapshot in time, my own polls at the harris poll, excuse me, the harris poll showed that in the last two months all of a sudden the president and the republicans nose dived, and the president's ratings on the virus, racial discord took a nose dive compared to his ratings on the economy that feels made up. i mean, look, i expect this race to be much closer, but i think the turn here at this moment is quite real. and i think, you know, as you saw in the midterms, republican and democrat are turn out in very high numbers. pete: we should pull the tape. he probably said the same thing in july of 2016, that president -- that candidate trump was then in trouble. can you imagine, imagine how trump voters felt in 2016 and now they look back at what's been done to the president for three and a half years? of course they're not going to want to answer polls, of course they're not going to want to

admit that. and if you believe national polls that show the president behind 10, 12 points, you're lying to yourself. i think that's the point this democrat congresswoman making. she's trying to say don't get complacent, and national polls can be meant to do that. griff: and just a quick add to that, pete. slotkin said she interviewed six pollsters for her campaign in 2018, the one she hired was the only one who admitted he got anything wrong in the previous cycle in 2016. it's interesting, we'll see what this cycle brings. pete: interesting stuff. this cycle is going to bring a robust debate about what kind of country we want to have. you look at the proposal joe biden released on his economic plan which basically copies the language of president trump on america first and american jobs but is littered with ideas like defund the police, sanctuary cities, getting rid of charter schools. an amazing list of social justice, left-wing, open border, social policies he's pursuing. one of those is defunding the

police, changing the way police departments operate. well, seattle's trying that. they've voted to defund their police department by 50% in their city council. well, the chief of the seattle police department is now slamming the decision that she'll have half the number of officers on the streets. watch. >> the word plan is rather loose here. they haven't got a plan. all they've shown us is that they want to reduce the budget by 50%. i haven't seen any real planning in that, and the real tragedy of doing that, you know, is that we will lose 1100 employees. that's 50% of our total work force. because most of our budget is made up of our personnel costs. and it would be a tragedy. i think that it's the height of recklessness for them to decimate public safety for the city of seattle without being thoughtful and encouraging public engagement on this issue. jedediah: you know, i feel like i am living in a really bad

movie, a terrible movie where people are making insane decisions, and things are about to go really wrong. i mean, when you hear defund the police by 50%, who are these people and have they completely lost their minds? i mean, what person is going to want to live in that city? what person going to want to start a business in that city? to raise a child in that city? i don't care what race you are, i don't care what gender you are. everybody cares about the safety and security of themselves, their family and their businesses that put food on the table for those families. what kind of insanity are we observing in the country right now? pete: yeah, it makes me think wayne's world when they did the scooby doo ending? [laughter] this can't be real. you're going to cut your police department in half. it feels like an alternative universe. i called it an experiment earlier because that's what it is, what happens when the police can't do their job.

griff: and you raise a great point because the question are the calls for defunding and getting rid of police coming from residents particularly in the hardest hit areas, or is it coming from folks who are politically driven and partisan from elsewhere in the country and it's catching fire? be interesting to see what the residents in the poorest and hardest hit communities that need police have to say. we had mike salon on earlier who was also saying, hey, by the way? your neighborhood could be next. here's what he said. >> seattle is leading the way in how public safety will be conducted from this day forward. and if our reasonable communities across this state, our state and more importantly our nation don't wake up, this is no longer in front of us at our doorstep. they're coming through the door. and this is a significant problem where crime will rise significantly. and over half if not more of the

police jobs in our city will be eviscerated. this is coming into your neighborhood if we don't wake up and stop this socialist net immediately. threat immediately. pete: yep. felt like a joke. no, it's deadly serious. we're going to follow what's happening in seattle, minneapolis and elsewhere where these city councils, far, far left, are giving the heisman to the police department. we begin with additional headlines, moments ago disney world partially reopened, magic kingdom and animal kingdom opening their doors despite an increase in covid-19 cases in florida. the state seeing more than 11,400 more cases and, of course, there's a lot more testing going on. the u.s. is setting a new record for a third day in a row with more than 66,000 new cases. again, more testing is going to bring more cases. president trump says he will wear a mask when he visits soldiers and covid-19 front-line workers at walter reed hospital

today, telling sean hannity he doesn't have a problem with wearing masks under certain conditions. dr. ronny jackson, rear admiral, joined us earlier to weigh in. >> the prime minister and the team -- the president and the team that surrounds him are awe depressively -- aggressively tested. he'll wear a mask when it's appropriate, he'll follow the direction of the hospital commander. pete: yeah. not surprisingly, the president has been criticized by the left-wing media for not wearing a mask to their satisfaction. and a mural honoring veterans just unveiled in johnstown, pennsylvania. it features an eagle soaring new the sky, the iwo jima flag raising and other salutes to veterans. the artist's father is a vet, says it's her way of giving back. and those are your headlines. that, the eagle's still acceptable in america until we find a reason to say that it is racist. jedediah: beautiful mural,

that the democrats should focus much more on action than slow gans. i mean -- slogans. i mean, if the democratic party is focused on racial equality, then they should be looking at initiatives that provide opportunity. not necessarily results, but access to equal economic opportunity. jedediah: so, don, here's the thing, if we're going to talk about what the focus should be, so i'm looking at the proposal, and what i see is a lot of money focused on government spending. i see $400 billion, $300 billion additional on spending. is government with spending the solution to the economy right now? >> absolutely not. i mean, i think that the focus is we should be getting the private sector engaged. it's a private sector-based economy. americans generate this economy, and the government role is to set some basic parameters and get out of the way and let us do business and let us build our economy. and these programs where the government goes in and spends

money are not sustainable, and his author to haveically we've -- historically we've seen the result. when they're taken away, the situation is generally far worse than when it started. jedediah: okay. so if we're going to talk about the private sector, would a biden administration be good for the private sector if we're talking about tax hikes, if we're talking about things like increases in regulation? i just, i'm struggling to see what a biden administration do here that would actually boost the private sector and be good for the economy. help me see what i'm missing. >> well, i think, look, we're in a global pandemic, and we were coming off of the biggest economic boom in the nation's history post-depression. so we had a booming economy. and the pandemic has sucked out the energy from that. and, of course, all the quarantines. there's only so much that the government can do, and this is not going to be about tax policy, it's not going to be about more government spending, it's going to be more about how do we come up with a cure, a vaccine, which several are

promising right now. several are being effective. and once we get america back to work, if the policies that are in place in terms of tax policies and economic incentives are in place, you'll see the economy begin to recover. i think what will stifle that is an aggressive change and turn to the left in terms of tax policy. businesses are reinvesting in infrastructure, businesses are reinvesting in factories and in production. and if you take those tax incentives away and pull that money from businesses back to the government, you'll see a tremendous slowdown in the economy. jedediah: it sounds to me though that what you're saying is very different from what biden has put out. because what i'm seeing from him is government investment in industry, is higher taxes. i'm not seeing what your saying, and i'm not seeing -- what, do you disagree with his plan? do you not think joe biden would be the best person to usher in prosperity then?

>> look, i know the vice president, the vice president's a good man. i think it's not him, it would be the policies. if he implements these policies that he's being pulled to the left to implement, i think that they would have a very negative impact on the economy. i'm hopeful that if he were elected, and i think we are a long way from that happening, if he were elected, i would hope he would move to the center. the reality is that the problem with the democratic party today is that they're focusing much more on government's role in terms of being an active participant in the economy. opposed to a government role of leading the private sector into a different phase and providing economic opportunity to all americans through a private sector initiative. and what we need is to incentivize -- jedediah: don, don, not to -- not to interrupt you, but we're running out of time. do you then think joe biden's being inauthentic here and is just catering to a left-wing base, is that what's going on

here? and then he's going to flip to the center if he gets elected? >> i think he's offering a broad men you right now -- menu right now, and i think he would be more effective if he carved out space in the center. i mean, right now americans are focusing on survival, on getting through this pandemic. they're not really focused on november's election yet. they will as we get closer to it. you'll see the polls tighten up, and this will be a much more competitive race, and then you'll really see where americans are in terms of expectations for the next four years. jedediah: yeah. well -- >> it will not be more government spending. jedediah: yeah. i mean, we'll certainly see what happens. it looks to me like he packaged big government policies with slogans that he seems to think won the other guy the election the last time around, but that's just my opinion. thanks for being here, we appreciate as always. >> thank you. thanks for having me. jedediah: and still ahead, one nascar driver is showing her support for law enforcement today. this back the blue truck will

pete: we are back with some exteam weather9. tropical depression fay weakening to a post-tropical sigh e clone as it moves over new york. laura ingle joining us from long island. laura, good morning. >> reporter: yeah. we have seen a big mix of things going on over the last 24 hours. we were out here yesterday, and we got pounded by heavy rain, lots of wind gusts. in fact, there was one wind gust at jfk airport which is nearby of 45 miles an hour, but this storm, tropical fay -- tropical storm fay, has been downgraded

twice since this morning but not before she left behind a lot of rain and a lot of flooding. let's show you what we're talking about. in new jersey some areas got up to 5-6 rain, that is more than the combined total in the month of july. and police in ocean city asked drivers to avoid parts of town because flooding has made some roads impassable. it was a scene repeopled all up and down the coast after fay made landfall yesterday afternoon in the garden state, leaving people to trudge through the water to make pit across streets and intersections. man, oh, man, some subway stops across the city were flood pd, one so bad that storm water was pouring down the stairs turning the underground passageway into a waterfall spectacle. in new hampshire the threat was so severe, it caused the white house to postpone a campaign rally. the event will now take place in a week or two. forecasters say the remnants will peter out, you know,

probably through tomorrow. but in terms of how unusual this is, it's that we haven't seen a storm like this this early in the season. pete: laura, thanks so much. appreciate your coverage. all right, griff, over to you. gru give one nascar driver is showing her support for law enforcement at kentucky speedway. driver angela ruch joining forces with the wounded blue organization. the trump features the motto never alone, never forgotten as well as the thin blue line flag. here with more, angela ruch and the founder of the wounded blue, lieutenant randy sutton. good morning to you. angela, i want to start with you. you are a superstar in the racing series, and now you're taking this action by putting back the blue on your car. why you doing it? >> you know, i've got to be honest with you, it was not an easy decision for me knowing that, you know, sponsors could

fire me at any given point or time or, you know, i could lose my second season of my reality show all by voicing my opinion. so it was a difficult thing to do, but in the end in my heart i believe in backing the men and women in blue and doing this great honor for this incredible man sitting beside me and everything they have to offer. griff: well, randy, what's your reaction and to the thousands of men if women in law enforcement across the country, how do they feel about what angela's decided to do? >> well, i can tell you right now that the men and women of american law enforcement are are looking at angela and thanking her. she's one of the few people in the sports world that is standing up for them. and our organization, the wounded blue, is the national assistance and support organization for injured and disabled law enforcement officers. this group of men and women has sacrificed so much, and they're seeing what's been happening to the brothers and sisters in the field. many officers have been injured

just in the last two weeks in all the violence, and that's what the wounded blue is all about. when we say never forgotten, never alone, that's what we mean, because these menwomen feel like they're under -- men and women feel like they're under siege. griff: this is going to be reallying something to watch. angela, my hat's off to you with. i know your uncle won the daytona 500 in 1990, maybe you'll win backing the blued to. if you want to donate, visit the wounded blue.org and, of course, tune in tonight to the gator outdoor truck racing series starting at 6 p.m. on fox sports 1. you don't want to miss it. angela ruch, good luck to you. randy sutton, thanks for all you do. >> thanks so much. >> thank you. griff: all right. still ahead, the american academy of pediatrics breaks with the white house on reopening schools. former education secretary bill bennett here on that next. whether it's bribes to roll over.

here to discuss is former secretary of education in the reagan administration and fox news contributor bill bennett, all-around wise guy as well. mr. is secretary, thank you very much for being on the program this morning. when you see the american academy of pediatrics coming out in june saying, hey, kids should be in school for many reasons, now they're reversing course on that. why? >> they're not really reversing course. they are politically positioning, pete. pete: i see. >> i'm sure the washington office of pediatrics listens to these powerful teachers' unions and said adjust your decision. if you read it carefully at the end, they still come out with kids coming back to school, but with all sorts of words using safety measures, precautions, let's make sure things are healthy. the reasons for sound developmentally, social, mental, academic, physical development, these kids need to be back in

school. it's a too manial issue, and it's an essential issue. plus, it is safe. you know, one of the interesting things is the studies that have been done this spring, the ymca did one, brown university did one of daycare centers. pete, a lot of parents know that they need daycare centers, and these are often germ factories. no incidents, virtually no incidences of covid among these very young children who are, you know, tangled all up with each other. 24 countries have sent their kids back to school with virtually no covid. kids are pretty much immune to this both as carriers and transmitters. pete: so if you were education secretary today, could -- what levers would you use to force some states or others that are saying we may not send our kids back? >> well, one piece of leverage i'd use is the american public, and this is one, pete, where it looks like liberals and conservatives agree. 71% of new yorkers -- i don't think most of them are conservatives -- want schools to reopen.

mayor de blasio doesn't want schools to reopen in any full fashion, although all the demonstrations there's no danger there. but connecticut has announced they're going full time. what's happening, a number of people in new york are trying to move to connecticut. so i would just use the leverage of the american people. listen to american parents. they put up with a lot this spring. [laughter] they do not want to put up -- pete: you had the summer on top of the spring, they're ready for fall, you're entirely right. i got that get your take on a tweet the president sent out yesterday. he e tweeted this. he said, too many universities and school systems are about radical left indoctrination, not education. i'm telling the treasury department to re-examine their tax-exempt status and/or funding which will be taken away if this comets. our children must be educated, not indoctrinated. i stood up and cheered when i saw that tweet because we know what these institutions have

become. what can be done? >> yeah. well, as you know, you went to a very fine institution, princeton -- pete: well, it was once fine, you know? >> well, okay. voted democrat and voted again -- buildings and grounds voted for donald trump. anyway, no, there is a lot of indock indoctrination, and the president has the authority, the federal government has the authority. the solomon amendment said if universities do not allow military recruiters on campus, they're not going to be eligible for federal funding. well, how about free speech, the full exchange of ideas and looking at indoctrination under that? i think there's some leverage here, and it's a good idea. consider this, when you look at what the president's saying, look at all the stuff we have going on at universities and now you have the ivy league saying we're probably not going to open this year, i think this could be a moment when a lot of americans say, you know, i wonder if we

need these higher education degrees after all. pete: yeah. >> another thing the president said i'd like the government to look at people's skills and abilities rather than their credentials. pete: man, i hope you're right, mr. secretary. different alternatives, christian schools, hopefully parents are re-examining what their kids are learning. but i've got to get your take the, i mentioned the ivy league, they canceled all fall sports. the big ten says we're not doing any out of conference games, what do you make of collegiate sports right now? [laughter] >> well, both my sons, as you know, played sports at princeton, and so i'm sorry to see that cancellation. big ten, you know, the gophers were on a run here, they were looking pretty good, minnesota -- [laughter] pete: don't mock me. >> here's my solution, pete. we know what the conference is in network, it's the sec. so make two adjustments. send vanderbilt to the sec and bring clemson in, sense kentucky

to the big 12 and bring oklahoma in. that's going to be the final four anyway. good? pete: i see you put your finger on the scale. yes. i knew you'd have a solution, mr. secretary. it's true. but if the schools never reopen, to your point, then maybe we don't miss them altogether. i could, i could trade college football for some real education if i needed to. >> it's an interesting thought, but i think most places will open. i don't think they'll follow the example of the ivy league. harvard knows, you know, it's going to get that tuition anyway because people don't want to give up that credential. but this could cause a i think by a lot of people, what am i paying 50, $60,000 a year for? combine that with what mike talks about, you know, real jobs and what people can make out in the real world -- pete: yes. could be a silver lining. secretary bill bennett, thank you for you insight, your wisdom. >> thanks, pete.

go, gophers. pete: next year, next decade. sometime. >> they got close. they got close. [laughter] pete: second place, first loser. all right, mr. secretary, thank you. we're going to pass it to rick reichmuth who's not a gophers' fan, but that's okay. [laughter] rick: all right. pete, a lot going on in the weather world. we had our sixth tropical storm of the season, it was fay, and now it is almost done. we till have a little bit of moisture, this little rotation across parts of the adirondacks. for the most part that is kind of done, but watch this other little system that's developing right across lake erie. we expect some really big storms toward the buffalo area in about an hour, also parts of the far northern plains, some of this could be severe, southern parts of wisconsin, watch that. all right, sixth tropical storm of the season, that's where we are. the majority of all of our action happens from around the

first week of august into around the first week of october. that's when we see the majority of it. we're already six storms in, so is so we're expecting to see a really active season. one other story we're going to be watching, and i think we're going to be talking about this for probably about the next week and a half, this incredible heat building across parts of the south, it eventually becomes dangerous as well. folks across parts of the south need to take this seriously. all right, guys, back to all of you. jedediah: thanks, rick. still ahead, goya facing boycotts and backlash after the ceo praised president trump. but he is not backing down. has the cancel culture finally gone too far? stick with us.

left and the democrats are about. this is a third generation ceo, entrepreneur, hispanic, you know, american that is proud of his culture, proud of his country and was proud to be called to serve his president and his country. i was at the table. i heard him speak to the president directly, and i am telling you we are so excited to be able to have co-chairs of this initiative. but to have the left try to basically shame him into, you know, apologizing for his praise of the president and what the president has done for hispanics ridiculous. jedediah: you know, alfredo, it seems to me that trump's outrage to minority communities in particular seems to enflame the left. the most, perhaps. why does that drive them crazy? >> you know what? i really think it's a simple answer. when you have, for example, hispanics, we can just focus on that for a second. 61 million americans roughly call themselves hispanics according to the latest census information that we're looking

at. and they are concerned that that is going to be a population as it grows, it can continue to be, understand our way of life right now as the way of life that they want to have which is freedom, independence and ability to raise your family, have choice in education, be able to work hard and make something of yourself. i mean, when you look at entrepreneurship for hispanics, if they're one of the leading groups of entrepreneurialism 2 to 1 versus the average population. so, for example, a recent poll, jed, that just came out said that if the election were held today, 39 better of hispanics -- 39% of hispanics would vote for president trump. i think it's going to be 41%. jedediah: well, alfredo, thanks so much for being here. the type of outreach that we've seen from this administration is important, and i agree with you this cancel culture is getting very scary and very dangerous. we'll have you back, for sure, and appreciate your input.
