do you mind? >> yes, sir, we obviously monitor the appellate process. >> using clemency powers to stop these executions -- >> president trump: well, i've looked at a very strongly, and in this particular case, i'm dealing with bill and all of the people. it is always tough. you are talking about the death penalty. but you talk about people who did with this particular person dude. so we will see what happens. right now, they have a stay, i believe. we will let the courts determine the final outcome, and that is what is going to happen? okay? >> you are asking americans to have full faith and law enforcement. how do you respond to critics who say you undermined your own federal law enforcement agency, the doj, when you commuted the sentence of roger stone? >> if you look back on it, this was an investigation that should have never taken place. you have guys like james comey.

you have mccabe. you have strzok. you have his lover, lisa page. you have all these people running around who lied to congress. you have many, many people. you have people who changed documents. and it's a terrible thing. this is an investigation that they shape should have ended before it started. and it should have ended immediately because you know as well as i do that they found nothing initially, but it went on for two years or longer. now, i am getting rave reviews for what i did for roger stone, and he frankly is going to go now appeal his case. he had a jury foreman who hated roger stone, and who hated probably me. but it was false pretenses. he wasn't given a fair trial. he wasn't given another child. he should have been given another trial. i want to say more.

i want to talk judge. why would i ever talk about a judge? but this was the judge that gave i believe solitary confinement to paul manafort. al capone didn't have solitary confinement. so these are things that happen, and if you look at president bush, president clinton, president obama, take a look at what they did. frankly, it's very unfair. roger stone was treated very unfairly in my opinion, and so were many others on this side. you have the other ones who are admitted to lying -- they admit it's a before congress. they leaked classified information. which is something you just can't do, and what are they doing? so we will see what happens. but we are getting rave reviews for what i did. >> hold the convention in jacksonville -- >> president trump: we are going to do something that will be great. we will do it very well.

we had some numbers a little while ago that are great. the suppression polls that we had. sony polls. fake news, sony polls. we are doing well in georgia. we are doing well in texas. i read that we are one point up in texas. or not one point. many points. i saved the oil industry. i created it, became number one. millions of jobs. letting go of millions and millions of people. many states. the $40 a barrel. you can buy my gasoline for under $2. nobody's ever seen it like this. so we have the biggest energy in the world. number one in oil, as you know, oil and gas, as you know. we would have had millions of people -- they say i am leading by one point in texas.

they said it last time too. they said texas is too close to call. this was a few months, and then i won texas and a blowout. phase said that in georgia. the same thing. we can't -- it's too close. we will have to wait until election night. election night, two seconds after the for closed. it's the same thing. sony polls. to think that after saving the oil and gas business and millions and millions of jobs, beating texas by one point? i don't think so. >> is the china phase one deal still intact? >> president trump: its intact. it's intact. i think what china has done to the world, with what took place, the china flag, you can call the china virus. whatever you want to call it. 20 different names.

what they did to the world should not be forgotten. but it's intact. they are buying. whether they buy or not, that's up to them. they are buying. >> los angeles just announced they are delaying at the opening of their schools. other school decks are giving parents a choice whether to send their kids to school or not. what you tell parents who look at arizona, where a schoolteacher recently died teaching summer school? parents are worried about the safety of their children. >> president trump: school should be open. kids want to go to school. you're losing a lot of lives by keeping things close. we did everything. we saved millions of lives. we save millions of lives when we did the initial closure. had we not done well we did, mike and i were talking about it before. 3 million lives lost. but we did that. still worried about 135,000.

it will be somewhat higher than that by the time it ends. again, the vaccines are happening, and the therapeutics are happening, but i'm not even talking about that. but we would have lost 2 million, 3 million lives, how do we not done it. now we understand it also. we understand certain vulnerabilities. young children. i was talking to governor murp governor murphy, and they have thousands of lives. they want to even say many few thousands of lives, hard to believe. he said there was only one life that was 18 or younger. one person died. a young man that had some medical difficulty. so when you think of that with thousands of lives and you have one person that was under 18, that is something. i guess the immune system is much stronger with young people that it is for others. so we have to watch the group that does have the difficulty, that does have the problem.

especially if they have a medical problem. if they have a medical problem. diabetes or heart or anything, it's a big problem. but we are being very careful. we have to open the schools. would you agree with that? we have to open the schools. we have to get them up and, and i think there's a lot of politics going on. i think they will do better if they can keep the schools closed in the election. i don't think is going to help them, frankly, but they feel that that is a bad thing for the country, and therefore it's a good thing for them. but they are the ones whose cities are burning. can you imagine if the country was run like chicago? like in new york? like some of these other democrats super radical left cities are run? you wouldn't have a country for very long. in the economy would crash. so we just set a brand-new record today on the nasdaq. this is the 18th time since --

and this is after the problem. so we have a new stock market high for nasdaq. the others are getting very close. when i came here, the stock market was up almost 500 points today. they wer economy -- we have nevr had a pace like this. i will tell you, if biden got in, this economy would be destroyed. he was in office for 48 years, and what he did was not great. almost every decision was the wrong decision. now he's going to comment and try to help us. we didn't need any help. we built the greatest economy in history. greatest economy we've ever had. greatest economy the world has ever seen. then the plague came in from china. he can't do it. he doesn't have the capability to do it. thank you all very much. thank you. >> bill: so, on a monday afternoon, i bill hemmer.

good afternoon. that was a bit of a surprise. a lot of news that we did not anticipate based on the question and answer period on michelson, general sin, he said hopefully in the final phases with regards to his relationship with anthony fauci, he's a good relationship. don't always agree. the lowest mortality rates anywhere in the world are among those countries, he said. we will get to this in a moment. bill barr, the ag, was in the room. he said he is getting rave reviews, turned it to the russian investigation. with regard to jacksonville, the convention, he said we will do something great, but again, there's some details of the next four weeks, you could say, before the details for the rnc and jacksonville are ironed out. so, schools, they should be op open. those are the headlines not from the present appeared without all

the angles covered for you. mike tobin. jonathan jerry, watching the latest developments. on that delayed execution story. first, kristin fisher leads now. >> hey, bill, a little bit of a surprise press conference from the president at this roundtab roundtable, and the purpose was supposed to be to really try to counter the defund the police movement with the white house is owned message, "defend of the police." they are being attacked and defamed, and the president also threatened federal intervention in cities like chicago and new york city after the recent spike in violence. listen here. >> numbers are going to be coming down, even if we have to go down and take over cities because we can't let that happen. when you have 20 people killed in one weekend in chicago, when you have 88 shootings, it's not

even conceivable. that's worse than afghanistan, i hate to say it. that's worse than any war zone way i can dialogue. it makes them look like tame places by comparison, so we are not going to let it go on. >> refusing to allow roger stone to go to prison by granting him clemency. but now a federal judge is ordering the white house to explain the scope of the clemency. the judge wants to know if it only applies to the present time or it also includes the two year period of supervised release. i asked the press secretary if she knew the answer. she said not at this time. but she did say this. >> the register him clemency was a very important moment for justice in this country. you had a completely bogus russia which haunts that found nothing, and in order to justify the waste of taxpayer dollars, you had robert mueller charging

people. >> the white house is going to need an answer about the scope of his clemency very soon because this judge set a deadline for tomorrow, and bill, that is the same day that roger stone was supposed to go to prison. >> bill: thank you for that. typical day there. nice to see you. also in washington, the nfl team dropping it logo. the team formerly known as the redskins. on deck for that and more. also, federal judge demanding more information about the decision to commit roger stone's risen sentence. andy mccarthy has some views on that. and of fox news television exclusive. the chinese scientist accusing beijing of lying about the virus. she is now in hiding somewhere in the united states and telling her story, and you will not want to miss this. coming up. month $3,000 a year, what would you do with the money?

>> bill: moments earlier, a judge blocking a federal execution only hours before the first one was to take place. reporting from indiana with more there. >> bill, daniel lewis lee was set to be put to death in about 45 minutes from now inside the federal prison behind me, but federal judge issued a stop on all executions because some inmates are arguing that the legal substance that is going to

be used will cause undue pain. in the case of 47-year-old daniel lewis lee, he was convicted of murdering a husband and wife and their 18-year-old daughter in 1996. however, the family of the murder victims has strongly pleaded for him to not be put to death. the district judge orderlies execution to be put on hold because they argue traveling to the prison to witness the execution is dangerous and the pandemic. however, federal appeals court listed the holes, so now, execution will be held off until at least after the pandemic. the supreme court is expected to issue a rule today. in the deadly drug being used. they argue it can cause undue pain. the department of justice is expected to appeal to federal court or the u.s. supreme court to keep using the drug, arguing a point that it has already been approved. we are following all of this and also reports that late this

afternoon, inmate daniel lewis leads filed his own last-minute petition challenging has execution, so a lot of different moving parts. all of them could somehow come together and green light this execution or stall it once again for quite some time. >> bill: reporting live in indiana. thank you. from washington, the nfl team they're dropping the redskins name after 90 years. the announcement made just about ten days after dan snyder said he looked into it. the former communications director with the dnc. former speechwriter for george bush. both fox news contributor's. nice to see you both back together. here we go. if you don't have george floyd, and if you don't have black lives matter, perhaps this change doesn't happen now. what is your view of that? >> oh, no doubt. for most washington fans, a lot

of people are very attached to the redskins name, but there more attached to winning football games. the redskins problem is not their names. there problem is that they are one of the worst in the nfl. i think they won three games last year. they can call themselves whatever they want. but this is completely giving and to the woke mentality. this was not done at a sensitivity to native americans. they oppose thy name, ended up on mike in 2016, and 90% of native americans said they were not opposed to the name. they didn't find it offensive that all, so this has not been done for the sensitivity of native americans. this is giving into the woke mob. >> bill: are you bothered by this? what if your answer tells me you don't care. >> i'm not a redskins fan. i could care less what they call is. i just don't like giving into the woke mob. next, it's going to be the cleveland indians, the

chicago blackhawks, the atlanta braves. where does this and? >> bill: they have already said no change in their names. how do you view this in the year 2020? >> yeah. i agree that had it not been for george floyd, ahmad ivory, sort of an awakening across this country on the issues of race, this probably would not have happened if you are not for lack of trying by a lot of people oum finally felt the pressure. they finally realized that there are a lot of people out there who are offended by this, and it is not just a bad name and a bad sign but potentially bad for business. sponsors were starting to pull away. i mean, fedex, for whom their field is named after, said that -- they asked for this to happen. so --

>> bill: fred smith is part owner of the team as well. do you think the braves and the blackhawks are next? >> no. look. i don't. if you look at any dictionary definition across all the major dictionaries of some of those names, the only one that is in the dictionary being called an offensive term or something like that is "redskins." the others aren't seen as pejorative. redskins is seen as a pejorative term by a lot of people. it makes all the sense in the world the world. >> bill: gentlemen, a little bit of the press conference off of the top. we will see where the world is done and if washington has a new name. thank you. in a moment, the push to reopen american schools, one of the largest districts in the country, about her plans to go forward. she is next.

>> bill: new york city now reporting zero new coronavirus deaths for the first time since march. wow. sets a new record with more than 15,000 new cases in a single day. jonathan has the story today. >> hi, bill, think his numbers really show that the epicenter of the u.s. credit virus outbreak has now moved to the south. the hot spot of course being florida. one in nine residents in the sunshine state has been tested for covid-19. the median age of these new record cases being reported over the weekend are relatively young. 38. texas set a new record for hospitalization, and the federal government is sending workforce

assistance to hard-hit cities there. today, a statewide mask mandate went into effect in louisiana. the governor has also ordered bars to cease on-site alcohol consumption in an effort to discourage young people from gathering. here's why. >> we are confident now young people aren't spreading covid-19's older people who are getting this disease is again growing numbers. >> going into the weekend, the atlanta mirror signed an executive order to bring our city back to phase one status as far as reopening here demanded face masks and it restricts restaurants to take out only once again. "the mayor's order is nonbinding and legally unenforceable." that's because he issued his own less restrictive order which supersedes that. the mayor have this reaction. >> he did not push back against

the city of savannah, but when atlanta issued as mask mandate, he took exception with a view to be going on the governor agrees with the mayor, that wearing a mask is a great way to slow the spread of covid-19. he just believes that it should be a voluntary policy, rather than being mandated. he says he believes that gordons will voluntarily step up to the plate. >> bill: thank you, jonathan and atlanta today. >> the president has argued that he is looking at the potential to defund if the schools do not open. betsy devos at the same thing. now, i think the president would be willing to consider additional funding for state and local governments of the schools to reopen. >> bill: that would be interesting. larry kudlow earlier today. more money for schools pugh 31 billion already allocated in the care zach. my next guest runs one of the largest school districts. barbara jenkins.

how are you doing? i like your attitude. you say you will innovate, and you will try to bring the kids back to class. next month. how are you going to do it? >> i'm sorry. i interrupted you. >> bill: it's okay. how are you going to bring them back? >> we've got a couple lands in place, bill. thanks for having me. number one, the state does have an emergency order from a commissioner that says we will offer five days a week instruction for family. that is one choice. we also have another choice that has always been around for our parents. virtual education where students complete courses on their own time. they have lots of flexibility around that. the third option is the innovative model that we have available. students can be at home and periodically managed to be in the school as well but then have the same schedule, the same curriculum as the students who are in the face-to-face

curriculum. what they are experiencing. i there in the classroom by themselves or in the classroom with a small number of students, or the teacher could very well be at home, but they are following the same curriculum. >> bill: so you've got a lot of options there. what are you hearing from patients, parents? >> originally, parents were pretty split among the various opportunities. they get more anxious about it. we have had mixed responses. we will have a large number that say their children need to be at school. so we are committed to returning them to school in a safe environment both for our adults and for our children. and then a large number say i'm not comfortable yet bringing my child back. i need option so that we can continue education at all. now community is split, so we are offering choices. then of course we will drive opportunity for our teachers as well. >> bill: i saw a piece in

"the new york times" that it will be a huge undertaking but must be happening. last question pugh 30 seconds left. how can orlando do it, and harvard can't? >> that's a great question. i wouldn't say orlando is doing it just yet. our plans are fluid. we continue to monitor the data and see if we have to pivot. we have to be prepared if we have to go back to distance learning. we have a commitment here. putting all the measures in place possible to keep our environment safe and to provide those choices both to parents and to our employees, to our teachers in particular. >> bill: big board meeting tomorrow on the 14th of july. let's stay in contact. thank you. dr. barbara jenkins there in orlando, florida. nice to have you on. thanks. in a moment here, president trump saying it is getting rave reviews, commuting the sentence of his longtime

friend, roger stone. how unusual is this? reaction, former u.s. attorney andy mccarthy, next. car insura so you only pay for what you need. i wish i could shake your hand. granted. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ c'mon pizza's here. whoa! is that shaq? this is my new pizza the shaq-a-roni and it's bigger than pizza because for every shaq-a-roni sold, $1 is donated to the papa john's foundation for building community.

>> if the biggest employer on the west side of for these young people is the market, the challenge and the answer is much more. >> bill: linking the city's violence to a lack of opportunities for young people. at least 64 people shot in chicago over the weekend. 11 killed. that's according to police. new york city police say someone shot and killed a 1-year-old boy last night near a playground in brooklyn. mike tobin reports live on yet another grim monday on the story. good afternoon. >> good afternoon, bill. this marks the fourth weekend in a row with a dramatic flurry of

gun violence in the city of chicago. those numbers you just read off about nonviolence in chicago are actually down from the fourth of july holiday weekend in which 79 people were shot. the other sad fact is this is pretty normal for chicago in the summertime. people get outside, interact. it leads to more friction and violence. then the chaos of an functionalized street violence fueled by turf wars, social media, and an endless cycle of vendettas. the problem goes beyond law enforcement. it is about social inequality and job opportunities so bleak that a young person and troubled parts of town have a better chance selling drugs then landing a decent job. >> this is about the lack of opportunity. it's not a policing issue. it is about social inequality. it's not police. this is about educational opportunities. job opportunities, job training opportunities.

that's not the police, and yet you only asked me that question. >> new york also saw the surgeon gun violence. 28 shootings over the weekend. tragically, one of the victims, as you mentioned, was 1-year-old boy who was killed after gunfire was opened on a cook out near playground. gunmen caught on security cameras. bill de blasio blames a perfect storm of events around the pandemic for the increase in violence. to put in perspective, same time frame last year, six people were shot in new york. >> bill: mike tobin in chicago, thank you. >> the woman hated roger stone, and hated probably me, but false pretenses and was not given a fair trial. it's not a fair trial. should have been given another trial. >> bill: so that comment from a bit earlier, president trump defending his decision.

critics, including some republicans, say you should not have done it. a court is now asking the president to clarify whether the commutation also applies to his supervised release. we are going to bring in andy mccarthy, fox news contributor. i know you've written about this. do you have a problem with the commutation? he's still a felon. so convicted, but he doesn't have to do prison time. >> yeah, i think it was a mistake for the president to commute the sentence. the justice department had already intervened in order to ameliorate the guidelines which were very harsh to reduce the sentence. to what the judge ultimately adopted, which was 40 months. the sentence could have been much more harsh. i thought they were considering in that regard. i don't think anymore should have been done. if you are doing something you're proud of, you don't do it

at 7:00 on friday night, and you don't do it as you are walking out of office, as bill clinton and president obama did. these are not usually politically popular things to do. >> bill: we've got the numbers here. commutation by president bill clinton over eight years. president bush, 11. president obama had 1,715. after three and a half years, president trump has had 11. what does that tell us? >> if you have to look at what the pardons are for. i think the clinton arden's are shocking, which is why to hear all this talk about trump being terrible and corrupt like nobody has ever done anything like this before, if you look at president clinton pardoning his brother, pardoning people involved in the investigation of him and hillary clinton, it was really amazing. they pardoned terrorists. obama pardoned terrorists, and

used his power politically much as he did in emigration situations where he used a decree because he couldn't get congress to do what he wanted them to do. in the federal narcotics laws, when they didn't have the kind of narcotics laws that he want wanted, you know, these are things -- the president has this power for good reason, but it can also be abused and wielded politically. >> bill: meanwhile, quickly, the first federal execution was scheduled in indiana. it would been the first time the federal government put anyone to death since timothy mcveigh. goes back to june 2001. there is a stay on the execution. what you think of that?

>> it's always very hard to get educationexecutions. there's a lot of hostility in the federal court to the death penalty, and energetic litigation every time they tried to move ahead with execution, which is why we haven't had one i guess in 17 years. they thought they had resolved the case with the courts in the middle of the country. but the district court in washington did kind of an 11th hour thing today. she's got a problem with the protocols that have all the in which they carry out the death penalties. i would expect more litigation. >> bill: more litigation. we will see where that case goes. indeed, thank you. nice to see you. scientists in hong kong say that she escaped to the u.s. after her supervisors try to cover up her work on covid. she says her research could have saved lives around the world. her first television interview

covid-19. so i have to -- >> bill: what's at the chinese lie about that you can prove? >> okay, first, so as i mentioned in the video, our government already knows that over 40 people got infected. and most importantly, human to human transitions already at that time. then they mutate -- >> bill: your claim is that at the end of december, there was human to human transmission. the government and the world health organization did not capture that until about three weeks later. if you are right, how would things be different around the world and here in the u.s.? >> okay, i explained to you. first, this is a huge pandemic we have seen in the world.

so, the timing is very, very important. so if we could have stopped early, we could have saved liv lives. >> bill: okay. so you have sent, then -- you invited your husband to come with you. he did not. you have spoken with the fbi. who is investigating your story, doctor? >> the fbi -- and many other people from the u.s. government. they have contacted me. they need to verify my story. >> bill: okay, can you prove it, dr. mark >> i have the receipts of the fbi agent. from the los angeles airport. several days later in new york. >> bill: just to be clear, not whether or not you can prove that he talked to the fbi, or can you prove your claims?

>> oh, yeah. how i communicate with the people in china and also because of my network. working with china during covid-19. and also, i can show it to you later. >> bill: okay. so you believe your life is in jeopardy and you will not go back to hong kong. how come? >> of course. because i know how they treat us. the truth, not only about covid-19, but also for the other things happening in china. for example, the professor had reviewed in beijing, punished, and also, in shanghai, reviewing

covid, and in february this ye year. shut down by the government. >> bill: the chinese embassy here in the u.s., they don't know who you are. they say we've never heard of this person, referring to you. what do you say to that, doctor? >> of course they won't know me because i am not -- knowing who work directly -- but i want no work visa, and i am a team member to communicate with china. >> bill: okay, last question here. maybe i can reframe the questi question.

was the u.s. government, what were they able to do with your information? >> i am waiting to tell all the things i know, provide all the evidence to the u.s. government. and i want them to understand, and i want u.s. people to understand how terrible this is. it is not what you have heard -- even the w.h.o. this is something different. we have to keep the true evidence and gather it to stop this pandemic. we don't have much time. >> bill: if you're right, doctor, you are showing an awful lot of courage. doctor, thank you for your time. dr. li-meng yan here in the united states. good luck to you. i hope you stay safe. >> thank you very much.
