dead. they had nothing and they were hoping i would recharacterize my phone calls. >> reporter: as for the scope of clemency the doj released the president's order declaring in addition to what stone was begin to today, his 2-year supervised release and 20,$000 fine also wiped away drawing criticism from democrats and some republicans, the president defended the decision. >> i'm getting rave reviews for what i did, for roger stone. it ended immediately because you know as well as i do they found nothing initially but it went on for two years or longer, roger stone was treated unfairly in my opinion. >> reporter: stone was convicted of lying to congress and showed gratitude for the president of the interview last night saying he gave him a chance to fight for vindication but his attorney says it is unclear if he will fight saying we have to make sure it is a fair process first, senator patrick lady sending an attorney to william barr

demanding a legal review on the commutation saying there appears to be a reasonable indication that criminal activity has occurred, your duty to pursue equal justice under the law requires you to conduct a thorough review of the circumstances surrounding the commutation and uncover any evidence suggesting donald trump issued this commutation in return for his refusal to cooperate with investigators to protect the president. will that happen? we haven't heard from william barr or the doj on that and nancy pelosi said she wants legislation to limit the president's power to grant clemency and pardons, no indication that is getting any steam either. shannon: thank you for that update. judge janine says the commutation was appropriate because she says his conviction was a miscarriage of justice. take a listen. >> the president has always been transparent, very clear about what he thinks, says what he means and means what he says and i think the commutation of the

sentence was appropriate given this judge was clearly biased, the for woman of the jewelry clearly not just biased but i believe that she did not tell the truth under oath. we are living in a time when there are those not interested in justice that people asked over the years but would rather make a political statement out of every case. >> reporter: democrats blasted the commutation as an impeachable offense that flies in the face of the rule of law, donald trump blasting america's democrat mayors for anti-police rhetoric. >> reckless politicians have the famed our law enforcement, far left mayors are escalating anti-cop crusade and violent crime is spiraling in their cities. it is all far left cities where

they have no understanding what needs to be done. they don't have a clue. todd: the president saying new york officials were more interested in painting black lives that are on fifth avenue than tackling the out-of-control crime rate. the city has seen a 368% rise in shootings compared to last year. jillian: you can call it lockdown 2.oh, states rolling back reopening's and shutting down businesses as covid-19 cases rise nationwide. todd: politicians worn there is a long road ahead. good morning. >> reporter: california governor gavin newsom ordering several indoor businesses to shutdown, the state seal 48% rise in cases for the past two weeks, the closures in bars and indoor activities at restaurants,

come down to donald trump's handling of this pandemic. >> this election is about coronavirus, this election is about coronavirus more than the 2004 election was about the iraq war and the 2000 election was about the financial panic of that year. that is what this is about, trump has got to get serious, he's got to stay focused, no more unforced errors if he wants to get back in this race that he is currently trailing in that he can seems to get his arms around the idea this election is a test of his capacity to deal with this. rob: donald trump issued a report of internal conflict with the nation's top infectious disease expert saying he has a good relationship with anthony fauci. >> an air force pilot ejecting moments before the f-16 jet crash lands overnight. it happened at holloman air force base in new mexico 90 miles northeast of el paso. the pilot flying a jet like this one is being treated for minor injuries, the fifth air force fighter jet crash since may, no

word what caused the crash. todd: they are battling to save a warship at naval base san diego that has been burning for 72 hours, crews trying to keep the vessel from the fuel supply, all have been released from the hospital. navy officials fear the vessel is damaged beyond repair. no word on the cause, the fire suppression system was not working when it started. >> the body of missing star nyra rivera discovered, they are confident it is her body because of the condition and location. now they are piecing together the final moments of her life. >> her son described being helped into the boat by maia,

jillian: the city of portland under siege from lightly protesters as the mayor calls for calm. in a shocking report is alleged in anticapitalist, antifascist group that includes teens is reportedly behind the unrest. todd: how dangerous are groups like this? chris sweitzer joins us with his expertise, how worried should we be about these groups? >> we have a set of laws that deal with international terrorists but when you have an organization like this that is homegrown that uses violence to achieve political gains to force their ideology on the american public they fit the definition of terrorists, we just don't have the laws like we do with

international terrorists relating to their financing, membership in the organization, material support the organization to effectively address these types of groups. shannon: jillian: i want people and screens look at this. this is the he and w youth liberation front because of the feds and portland police, they are very quickly finding out that if they build a fortress and use literal siege tactics for people will put their blanking fortress under siege. what is your reaction to that? >> advocating violence and using violence and illegal property damage to achieve their political goals, that's a nice way of putting it, they just want total anarchy. you can go after these organizations as a terrorist organization. they have communications, name,

people who follow certain leadership on their social media sites, they are a scary organization. they've committed arson with people inside police building, a building that was minority business owned. they have no boundaries. todd: something i hear is how did they get like this? how do these teens reach a point where they joined an organization like this? any explanation? >> it fits the profile of all individual terrorist organizations, they seem to not fit in, they are angry about something, it can't be their fault so they create an ideology that says it is someone else's fault and they band together, very loosely, hard to define the organization itself but many people who are drawn to these causes are looters, people who are already committing illegal acts prone outside the law. >> how impactful is social media

when it comes to something like this? in some situations negatively, in others positive but when you look at a situation like this what is the impact of social media? >> social media is a tremendous recruiting tactic, you can draw so many people in with the façade of a legitimate ideology and once you are on the menu find out who the hard-core members are who are out committing violent acts. i'm not seeing everybody who follows them on social media sites are terrorists but there are many committing violent acts and trying to force their ideology on other people. jillian: thank you, have a good day. todd: protesters tearing down statues for weeks that our next guest has a warning about the mob mentality.

>> the left ramping up its push to defund police or remove symbols deemed offensive from across politics and pop culture but our next guest is they should prepare for pushback from americans who are tired of being told what to think. >> re:happening for joe biden, liz tate joins us with a message, thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me.

>> in this op-ed one of the lines that i found interesting is you say biden caters to the most progressive wing of his party and repudiates america's greatness illegal narrow further. how far left the you see him going even in the next few months? >> reality now on his economic plan he teamed up with bernie sanders and adopted a great many of the sanders worn approaches to business. when he starts talking about getting rid of shareholder capitalism and transforming the nation those are red flags. i don't think most americans want the nation transform. i don't think they want to get rid of economic system which is provided the greatest increase in wealth, income, and opportunity any country has ever offered the world. the reason we have millions of people knocking on our door trying to come to this country is because it is a system. people have a shot at success, that the kind of thing bernie sanders, alyssa foreign and joe biden want to dismantle. it extremely foolhardy. >> biden's lead over trump, two

different polls, that is an 11 point lead back in may and now look at that, july, only about four points, you attribute this backlash to leftist mob rule. why? >> i don't think like the idea of the funding the police and those democrats have danced around this. the other day in an interview joe biden said yes, he would be happy to reallocate some police funding to other democrat prior is like housing and so forth. that is fine but what americans seen the last several weeks is the whole anti-cop movement has resulted in unprecedented surges in homicides and criminal activity and a lot of our liberal cities, i don't think americans are on board with

one-year-olds being shot to death in new york city our children being murdered in chicago and atlanta so they perceive this to be hypocritical. if we care about black lives and all lives we've got to have a law enforcement architecture that protects people. at the end of the day people want to be safe. all people want to be safe and this is going too far. they are looking at what is happening in seattle, portland, who can possibly celebrate that. defunding the police is a real red line democrats should not cross and some have. i also think the destruction of public monuments, a lot of his ignorance, they are tearing down statues of people like frederick douglass who are iconic figures for abolition and so forth and it is public property, criminal activity. jillian: we are running out of time and i want people at home to see this, this goes to your

point, what people are on board with were not, take a look at this. research center survey, 5000 adults between june 16th and 20 second and you can see the question, 3 quarters of americans think police spending should stay the same or increase, 42%, nearly half say it should stay the same, 20% say it should increase in a little bit. what do those numbers say to you? >> people want to be safe and they now police historically have been very much loved by americans and there are some bad apples and reforms necessary but let's not go crazy here. people want this country to be a safe country and they want the police to be there for us. >> thank you for joining us. it is 27 after the hour. the heartbroken family of a one-year-old boy shot and killed speaking out to fox news.

todd: the powerful message as violence erupts across us cities. >> i can't get that back, can't hear her call me daddy no more, i can't say -- >> you should be ashamed of yourself. as someone with hearing loss i know what a confusing and frustrating experience getting hearing aids can be. that's why i founded lively. affordable, high-quality hearing aids with all of the

features you need, and none of the hassle. i use lively hearing aids and it's been wonderful. it's so light and so small but it's a fraction of the cost of the other devices. they cost thousands less. it's insanely user friendly. you take the hearing test online, the doctor programs in the settings. you don't even need to go into an office. they're delivered to your door in a few days and you're up and running in no time. it connects via bluetooth to my phone. you can stream music and you can answer phone calls. the audiologist was so incredible she's full of all kinds of little helpful hints i love it. they're a game changer for me. i feel like i can take on anything. it feels great to be in control of my hearing. better hearing has never been this easy. try lively risk-free for 100 days. visit listenlively.com

>> i can't get that back, can't hold him no more coming him daddy no more, can't say with him no more, got to put my son in the ground now and he is only one. the cowards that did this. >> you should be ashamed of your self. everybody talks about black lives matter, what about baby

lives? an innocent child from a baby and mother as well as grandparents, i don't think it is fair. todd: the father and grandmother giving an emotional interview on fox news last night, the baby shot and killed sitting in a stroller during a brooklyn cookout. the suspect still on the loose right now. the benevolent association tweeting we can't continue to let innocent children, a child just a year old call fall victim to reckless gun violence, we need to stay united against this. jillian: it is one of many examples of tragic violence plaguing usbs, yesterday donald trump called out liberal leaders over the spike in violence. >> under vicious assault far left mayors escalating the anti-crop crusade and violent crime is spiraling in their cities.

it is all far left cities where they have no understanding of what has to be done. they don't have a clue. new york city is out of control. jillian: in new york city shootings were up 11% for the weekend compared to this time last year. our next guest is a retired nypd lieutenant who says city leaders need to wake up. thanks for being here. that emotional interview talking about the one-year-old shot and killed in brooklyn at a bbq sitting in a stroller is absolutely heartbreaking. bill diblasio says bringing communities and mip together when talking about this tragic situation, a family without a son. how do you bring nypd communities together because you hear leaders saying we need to do this but i'm not seeing plans put in place.

>> he is such a sony. i'm heartbroken for the parents and grandparents of that child. we've seen so many times before and you're going to see it continue, if this trend continues with lawlessness this man put more effort into painting black lives matter on the streets in front of trump tower just to make is point but in the background these politicians don't care what is really going on. they see it as part of the cost of getting their movement ahead and it is ridiculous and without the cops being the first line of defense the way they have to be this is going to continue. nobody wants to see this and i agree with the union there has to be union between the community and the police department. without that 1-2 punch you have nothing and when the cops are handcuffed this is the result and this isn't just in new york. this is across the united states. we are seeing police officers

wayne, the one in washington dc, names keep going on that and this is going to happen in these politicians are more concerned with their political agenda than getting the job done they were elected to do. it is not just presidents but everything across the board, when they sneak in bail reform in the middle of the night, people have no idea, they wake up in the morning and say we got bail reform, this is their plan and they just want a bunch of lemmings that will follow them around. >> is a quote from eric adams, the brooklyn borough president and former cop on bringing back the violent crime unit and he says, quote, i think the total elimination is something we need to reevaluate. bad guys are saying if you don't see blue and white you can do whatever you want. you and many others were against this when it initially happens but how important is it? >> so important because it is a

war on crime, the way you infiltrate certain areas you need your anticrime, your street crime, you need to get in the trenches and find out what is going on. they look for blue and white and see them passing by, they know they are the only ones on the street and are emboldened to do whatever they want, you need to come back to a time where everybody was in unison to get the city and make the city great. it is spiraling out of control and this man at the helm can't do anything about it. he has his own agenda. we need another mayor like rudy giuliani. i don't care if it is democrat, republican, get somebody to stand up to these thugs in the political agenda and say my city needs to become safe and i'm the person to do this and i want my police department. without that you will never have

the call him you need, you need to do the job that is required. jillian: thank you for your time and insight. >> the atlanta community plans to go door-to-door with flyers looking for tips leading to the killer of an 8-year-old girl. zachariah turner killed while sitting in her mother's car on the fourth of july, police released surveillance images of two people of interest, a reward for any information leading to an arrest has been bumped up to 50,$000. any derek and slamming the plan to defund the police by 50% calling it irresponsible. derek and says proposing a more modest $76 million cut in the police budget, her funding cut

proposal would shift the police function to civilian control including the 9 one one call center in the office of emergency management. the consistency council proposal will, quote, decimate the ability of police to respond to emergencies. >> a fire in an iranian gas plant the latest in a string of mysterious incidents of explosions and nuclear facilities across the country. >> to run now looking at foreign sabotage and vowing retaliation if confirmed. >> on sunday a fire erupted of petrochemical plant in iran. this would normally not make headlines in the us but it is the latest in a series of fires and explosions taking place in the islamic republic, just hours before, a separate explosion occurred at a house that does all gas cylinders, these events following another key development that hurt iran's nuclear capabilities, there is a fired underground iranian nuclear facility that slowed the

development of centrifuges used to caused significant damage the facility and could push back the country's nuclear aspirations by the year. iranian officials believe a cyberattack caused that fire earlier in the month though in easton intelligence official told the new york times israel planted a bomb in the facility. publicly iran is trying to downplay the incident. >> it was a warehouse for preparing some items. it is not been installed. the incident that occurred has not had a significant effect on activities there. they will be immediately reconstructed and replaced. >> as iran vows to investigate and retaliate against whoever is responsible, the news broke this week with iran and china are planning to enter into an investment in security pact worth $400 billion, that deal would be 25 years and like that reportedly push chinese investment into iran's energy sector.

my bureau chief past me a note indicating iranian say they have executed a former ministry of defense employee that allegedly sold information about iran's missile program to the cia. this is another example of the continued tension the regime continues to promote between washington and the n iran. shannon: that news is coming down. thank you. a virginia man calling on conservatives to help stop canceled culture. casey harper raising 100,$000 to purchase products from hispanic food brand goi and donate to local food banks, her idea came after democrats called on americans to boycott the company because it's owner praised the president. created a go fund me to purchase the food raising 146,$000 so far. rob: i have heard of shelves

being empty thanks to this counter boycott, time is 40 minutes after the hour as joe biden holds a steady lead in the polls was what a biden presidency look like on the world stage? our next guest is the left surrounding would pull the strings, jim hansen joins us live next. >> an act of kindness, and camera. a police officer's good deed at the gas station warming hearts across social media. we will tell you about it.

>> joe biden's pulling momentum extending to foreign-policy is more american say they trust the present of democrat nominee to handle issues like china and national security but what would a biden presidency look like on the world stage after four years of america first? here to break it down is jim hansen. point blank, biden presidency mean a return to globalism? >> without a doubt. he was never a guy who was america first when working for barack obama or in the senate. he's always been a believer in the idea that america should be one of many nations instead of exceptional nation. we will get no ability for

america to exercise true powers and get where we belong on the world stage if biden becomes president. >> let's look at what biden's american leadership foreign-policy plan has again. this is from his campaign and includes the following, end forever wars in afghanistan and the middle east, global coordination of the coronavirus response korean to the paris climate agreement, reenter the iran nuclear deal, terminate muslim travel ban, raise refugee admissions. look at the first we see donald trump has been clear he too wants to end wars in afghanistan and the middle east and everybody wants the coronavirus to go away. what stand out to you on that list and why? >> reentering the suicide pact they call the paris climate accord would destroy the us economy, not like we didn't get enough damage done by the

coronavirus the to go ahead and hamstring ourselves in order to make the rest of the world feel good is insanity. one thing that is not mentioned is the fact that he is completely compromise on china due to the fact that he got his son hunter $1 billion from the chinese invested in hunter's hedge fund. whatever information they have and whatever feelings he hasn't has shown towards china in the current environment we need someone who can be tough with them, that's donald trump, not joe biden. >> it will be fascinating to see if that hunter biden story gets anymore legs the closer we get to the election. so far seems it is dying on the vine with so many other distractions in our world, appreciate your insights, thanks very much. >> police officer getting praise for his act of kindness, take a look.

>> i will tell you. >> body camera video shows officer john fry tag talking to a man whose credit card wouldn't work when trying to buy gas. washington township police officer says he just wanted to show that underneath the uniform he was humanlike anyone. i love that. great. it is 12 minutes until the top of they are, disney world's decision to carveout mask free relaxation zones is stressing some people out. >> social media backlash when we come back. these folks don't have time to go to the post office

jillian: voters need to take a chance on kanye west this november, calling out joe biden and young liberals focusing on ousting donald trump. todd: carley shimkus is here with how it is going down on the socials, quite an endorsement. >> the grammy award winner set off a firestorm on social media by throwing his support behind kanye west tweeting are you more pro biden are anti-me and why? you are just trying to get trump out but in this hypothetical scenario where you are replacing trump could explain why joe biden would be better, responses

begin pouring in, many people point out kanye west's list experience and the fact that he openly supported donald trump in the past, blake tweeting the wrapper points out the general sentiment that biden hasn't been the best for our people but to endorse kanye for president is dangerous and careless, no preparation and entering his name in the ring at a suspicious time. more positive response was twitter user whose is good for you but watch your back, you may be canceled. a few hours after his initial tweet he posted this follow-up come his final assessment on the situation saying i understand the improbability of kanye winning the 40 sixth presidential seat and understand everyone voting for biden isn't doing so enthusiastically. this is something we talk about on "fox and friends first". he could have saved himself a of trouble and he just watched our show. jillian: if you make a commitment to something the worst you can do is just not show up.

carley: this is so important. a famous chef in london named tom karas posted this fiery message on instagram reminding people not to just not show up if they book at a restaurant, he says to the 27 people that booked and failed to turn up on saturday night this industry like many others is on the verge of collapse. your behavior is disgraceful, shortsighted and downright unhelpful, all of you no-shows in all restaurants up and down the country are adding to the issue already being faced, putting people's jobs at risk, that is getting a lot of attention, this person responded 27, unbelievable circumstances happen at the last minute but 27 people that is disgusting, so bad mannered. i hope you have their names to block them if you start taking deposits that you lose for a

no-show as some restaurants do. the restaurant industry is struggling. if you make a reservation show up and give them your bill. rob: we should get them on the show, i'm sure he would love to come in at 4 am and make is something awesome. not everyone is so chill when it comes to disney's relaxation. carley: disney's relaxation zone stressing people out, that is exactly what is happening, disney world reopened partially on the saturday and they have these relaxation zones where you don't have to wear your mask. a disney spokesperson confirmed some of them are indoors with air-conditioning but also with physical distance and limited number of guests. this sparked immediate backlash. sort of like being indoors at a restaurant. if you are not comfortable with that behavior just don't go

inside these relaxation zones. jillian: in the next hour california rolling back reopening as covid-19 cases soar, there's a $2,000 fine for those who violate the travel advisory. could the us see another lockdown? rob: beijing banning civil republicans for speaking out against human rights abuses including congressman chris smith who joins us live next hour. reduce urges to urinate, plus fully empty your bladder and promote a normal prostate size. from the #1 fastest-growing men's health brand at walmart.

>> don't have the goods on trump and traded his silence. that is patently false. i would not lie against my friend of 40 years so they could use it for impeachment. jillian: it is july 14th, roger stone setting the record straight in an exclusive interview. >> democrats but the pressure on william barr to see if the president committed a crime by commuting roger stone's sentence. california making a stunning reversal. re-closing businesses and churches as several states are grappling with surging coronavirus cases. jillian: is the us teetering on the edge of another shutdown? what the white house is doing to

keep that from happeni
