jillian: everybody is off balance. rob: very cool. jillian: carley, thank you. carley: thanks, guys. rob: the president heading to atlanta today to talk about infrastructure. keep an eye out for that. jillian: "fox & friends" starts right now. bye-bye. ♪ >> lucky i am just to be alive steve: that is somebody who has been on "fox & friends" rodney atkins as we welcome to you studio f. on this, the 15th day of july 2020. jed and brian, do you know what that means today is. brian: i.e.d.s of march? steve: that would be in march. think of something else that was supposed to happen three months ago today we were supposed to file our federal taxes and today is now the federal filing deadline.

either you have to file them by midnight or file an extension. brian: do they have to be accurate? steve: it all depends on what you have got in mind for the next 10 to 20 years. brian: right. i understand. put it this way i did them on time. i pretended like a real deadline and no pandemic. i wish we were in a world with no pandemic. unfortunately it dominates everything we do and don't do. steve: it does. good morning to you, jed. jedediah: good morning. and it's a pleasure to be in for ainsley today. always great to see you both. steve, it should be no surprise that people try to forget about tax bay day. what? what's happening? steve: i know. on this wednesday, it's the day after a primary day in certain states. and that's why we start with a fox news alert. a couple of president trump's picks go two for two in run-off races tommy tub enterville and dr. ronny jackson both moving onto the general election in november. they were the president's picks. and they won big.

jedediah: our very own griff jenkins is live in washington with the results coming in overnight. griff, what is the latest? >> good morning, jed, brian and steve. big night in alabama crushing the former attorney general who previously held the senate seat. go to the race board. tuberville over 60% to jeff sessions to 39.26%. it was a major victory for president trump who heavily backed tuberville and he tweeted about it last night saying wow, just called. tommy tub enterville won big against jeff sessions. will be a incredible senator. doug jones a terrible senator who is a super liberal puppet for schumer and pelosi, represents alabama poorly on to november 3rd. at his victory party the coach turned candidate had this to say. >> democrat doug jones is running for re-election with the slogan of one alabama.

what doug really means is one liberal alabama. it is time we have a senator who represents alabama values. god bless sweet home alabama. >> two for two was another big win for the president's pick in texas the former white house decision ronny jackson first time candidate defeating josh wine garner you see here 55.6% to 44.4. the president tweeting saying congratulating to ronny jackson on a big win on a tough and really good opponent. ronny will be a fantastic congressman who will represent the great people of the great state of texas. and the u.s.a. very well. proud of you ronny. democrats sarah gideon, against susan thomas in one of the most closest watches in the country. gideon is the speaker of the democrat house of representatives and backed heavy live by the dccc with a formidable war chest.

we will see what happens in that race. the big take away, guys, it was a huge night for president trump picked candidates. brian, jed, steve? brian: griff, thanks for recognizing the other two anchors. helps the show go smoother. griff: griff jenkins. we will check in with him again later. ronny jackson going to be in congress very conservative. tommy tuberville if he doesn't find a way to win and beat doug jones you can honestly say the republicans won't hold onto the senate. predominant lay republican state. everyone was stunned when doug jones beat a very damaged candidate last time around. ronny jackson will be live with us. we assure he will be on time and tommy tuberville will be here talking about where they go from here. meanwhile, let's talk about what happened yesterday. joe biden came out, read the teleprompter and did not take any questions. he talked about part 2 of what the economy will look like under

biden regime. basically goodbye oil, gas and fracking even though he didn't come out and say that college electricity by 2035 that's kind of quick. 2 trillion over the next four years when it comes to clean energy. good, so we have that he also mentioned the world is going to end in 9 years unless we take up his plan which was a little shorter. we thought the world had 10 years. others said 12 years. and according to al gore the earth should have blown up years ago. so now we know there is going to be a different approach to energy. and it was amazing, guys, when you saw donald trump come out and talk about china and sanctions he couldn't help but just look at what joe biden put together and said are you kidding me? do you really want this, this, and this? it's never going to work. especially you were there for 8 years. just three years ago. you have been there since you were 28 years old. the bridges and roads and oil and gas, all these things were there now you are going to

change everything at 77. steve: in addition to today being the day when we have to file our taxes, today we were supposed to be at the dnc. of course, the whole world has changed since then. you can tell that the president is frustrated because at this point during the election cycle, during the campaign cycle it would all be about policy. but, at the same time, there is a coronavirus that is gripping the world and for the most part people are not thinking about politics. they are thinking about their families. their jobs, their children. will school open? so, the president has been very frustrated and that is why when he announced yesterday he was going to have a press conference hong kong autonomy act. fox news channel took it. and i think we took it because we thought he was going to talk a lot about china. instead, it turned out to be that where he talked about how he was going to sanction some of these chinese officials who are responsible for the crack down on free speech in hong kong. but then it just kind of turned into i got a lot on my chest i would like to get off regarding

joe biden. and so what we have done is we have taken a little bit of the president and the former vice president, put them together because at one point the president said yesterday there has never been election where it is clearer that the two people stand for different things. here's the president and the vice president yesterday afternoon. >> mr. president, please listen to your public health experts instead of denigrating them. >> he opposed my very strict travel ban. xenophobic he called me. if we had listened to joe biden, hundreds of thousands of additional lives would have been lost. >> i see american manufacturing and american workers racing to dominant the american market. >> america lost nearly 10,000 factories while joe biden was vice president. >> one in five miles of our highways are still in, quote, poor condition according to the american engineers. >> why didn't he fix them? he was there for 8 years with president obama. why didn't they fix them.

>> no more consequential challenge that we must meet in the next decade than the onrushing climate crisis. >> in other words, he wants to impose the green new deal. there has never been a time like this. where have you had an election of people so different. brian: true. steve: the president says that there has never been a time where the people are so different. you look at those two images and, jed, you know they are both up against an person flag. but the difference is the dynamic. president trump is in the rose garden. he's got reporters there who would ask him questions. joe biden is in an empty auditorium in wilmington, delaware. there are just a few people there, including the tv pooler was peter doocy. evidence tried to get the vice president to answer some questions. he just answered. the president answered a number of questions. because people have got questions about how these people would lead in the future, jed.

jedediah: yeah. and the difference is also obviously the content. what you want in an election are two highly contrasting images. i always say that you want to give people the choice so you can really see where the country stands. remember, joe biden took a lot of heat in the primary for not being strong enough when it came to environmental issues. for not being strong enough on the issue of climate. is he coming out now. he needs tokes sight that base. excite the hard left of his party. many of those voters who may stay home and say you know what? it's not elizabeth warren. it's not someone with a real progressive agenda. may feel joe biden has been in politics for a long time. made a lot of promises and hasn't gotten a lot done. this is an opportunity. there aren't a lot of rallies happening right now due to the pandemic there would be a lot more campaign rallies. president trump sees that moment to dlinel united states a very clear distinction between him and his opponent. i think he accomplished that took some heat for that by the way for being in the rose garden and turning it into a bit of a campaign rally. he said you know what? this is a chance for knee to do

this and i'm going to seize the moment. ben dom 9/11 from th dom domini. the president has been looking forward to having a political fight with joe biden that he believes he can win on a number of these different areas. the problem is that fight hasn't been happening. he hasn't been able to have a back and forth with biden because biden has been basically awol. the president was using the one real aspect of the white house that he can to force some attention towards some of these contrasts. i don't know that it will work. but i do think this is a sign that this is a white house that feels frustrated that they can't really get into a back and forth about agenda items, policy debates and a number of other areas where i they that they believe they have the advantage. steve: exactly. brian: that is -- go ahead. jedediah: pointed out also,

quickly, steve, you pointed out the lack of response to questioning or joe biden not doing questioning yeah, because is he terrible at it. that's not what he does well. his handlers know that what they wanted for him to get out there, deliver talking points, hope they stick and get off the stage because he hasn't been doing well when he is off the cuff just responding spontaneously. donald trump, on the other hand, that is his strength. he wants to get out there and have these debates. you will z. that distinction for the next few months. it will be really interesting when they are on something like a debate stage together if that ever happens to see a bold contrast not only in presentation but in content and ideas. brian: on immigration, on the wall, on refugees, there is so many things what he said he is proposing makes no sense. steve: hey, brian, one other thing, that is twice in one week peter doocy has tried to ask joe biden a question and both times the vice president has declined. by the way, one other note, it looks as if the rnc, the dnc was supposed to be this week, it looks as if the rnc according to

the "new york post" is looking to have their big meetings outside because they though that inside the experts say not a good place to be during the times of the pandemic. brian: let's talk about what happened at the "new york times" yesterday you know about this political correctness rolled out to reign in conservatives. people who wouldn't get in lock to step with liberal causes. like the me too movement they are beginning to shoot their own. al franken paid the price when the me too movement boomerang on him. that's one example. what is happening in hollywood and what is happening at the "new york times." believe it or not, even a moderate to liberal cannot exsilz at the "new york times" because of the new generation of radical leftist that will not hear a contrasting or a nuanced differenced opinion. case in point berry weis. "new york times" is not for her and she is not for the "new york times." she resigned yesterday in a long detailed letter.

she wrote this about 2016 in particular. the lessons of 2016 ought to follow the election. lessons about the importance of understanding other americans. the else in at this of resisting tribalism and the centrality of the free ideas of a democratic society have not been learned. instead a new consensus has emerged in the press and especially at this paper. the truth isn't a process of collective discovery but orthodoxy always known to an enlightened few whose job is to inform everyone else. you didn't have. you can't hire, you can't have a differing opinion in the news room or actually in print or else you are bullied and harassed and went on to get worse. getting worse is the "new york times," believe it or not, almost from top to bottom is afraid of twitter. steve: yes, indeed. in fact, michael good win who is going to be a guest on the show at the conclusion in about two

and a half hours who knew the great lady could be so nasty. ari fleischer who spent his time over the last 20 or 30 years working with the press had this observation about what is going on with this group think at the gray lady? here is ari. >> i really don't see somebody that articulate talk about from the inside how rotten things have become at the "new york times" curly. it's all thing we know papers have been liberal for decades and networks liberal for decades. this is indictment of the internal intolerant culture led by the editorials of the "new york times" who have acquiesced to the younger journalists who as she puts it taken over twitter mentality. landscape mentality. it's not the newspaper that i subscribsd to for 40 years. it's hard to recognize these days as real journalism. steve: bary goes on to right among other things. i was always thought that

journalists were taught to write the first rough draft of history. i'm not reading that quote right now. history one more femoral thing to fit the narrative. jed? jedediah: i will pick up that quote that was up now bullying. my own for rays into wrong thing subject by colleagues who disagree with my views. they have called me nazi and racist. i have learned to brush off comments how i'm writing about the jews again. several colleagues perceived to be friendly with me. this is not uncommon what's happening here. often sometimes have you people hired by a newspaper, a magazine, a network, a television show to bring a differing view or bring in others that have a differing view. you get there and the problem arisest when you begin to change hearts and minds. when you begin to bring people

in who say wait, hold on a second i hadn't thought about it that way or opinion writers who write things that make people think. that becomes a huge problem for places like the "new york times" who want that homogenate of thought. they want the allusion of. the second that that person begins to change anybody's mind about anything or open up the debate a little bit, that becomes a threat to an establishment that wants that cohesiveness. it's scary. it's unfortunate reality. and it's not just the "new york times." this is happening in multiple other places but good on her for having the courage to not only highlight that but to highlight the fierce bullying that came her way. because people need to see that stuff. brian: i think you are 100 percent right. i would add this to the fray. it's not just in the editorial writing and lack of diversity when tom cotton writes something different from the other editorial writers and that editorial h editor gets canned r quit. what goes into their reporting?

how do they cover stories that are just the facts that i think is doing so much damage and drives, in particular, this administration crazy, jed. jedediah: yeah, absolutely. one person who is always sticking to the facts, we can always count on her is jillian mele who is here with headlines this morning. hey, jillian, how are you doing? jillian: good morning. good to see all of you have. let's begin headlines with this fox news alert. the u.s. is one step closer to a vac senile for covid-19. the vaccine created by moderna showing promise as it enters the final phase of testing. researchers say the vaccine successfully developed antibodies in all participants in the first trial. sign of hope comes as texas sees highest single day increase with nearly 11,000 new cases. florida reports its own single day record with 132 deaths. buff there are new questions on the data in the sunshine state. the fox affiliate in orlando is reporting that some labs in the state are not reporting negative covid-19 testing meeting

steve: fox news alert. all eyes on the state of alabama as tommy tuberville, the former coach beats former attorney general jeff sessions in the senate republican primary run-off. the former auburn football coach will take on democratic senator doug jones in a crucial general election which could make or break the g.o.p.'s hold of their majority in the senate. here with the implications fox news contributor kristin soles as it anderson. kristin, good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: you know, the president went all in on backing tommy tuberville because he feels like jeff sessions as attorney general did him wrong and he went nuclear against him. >> that's right. and what's interesting is that as attorney general, jeff sessions did a lot for major pieces of trump's agenda regarding things like the border, et cetera. but it really came down to sessions' decision to recuse himself in that russia

investigation that got trump really energized in this race. there have been a handful of congressional races as of late where trump endorsed someone, posted a nice tweet about them and they didn't wind up going on to succeed. some say does that show his endorsement doesn't really mean that much? in the sessions race he made his voice about the demographics of who voted where and what about where tommy tuberville used to work? >> well, so, where tommy tuberville used to work at auburn their big rivals are the university of alabama based in tuscaloosa and i looked at a map last night of where sessions was doing the best. jeff sessions was performing pretty well in tuscaloosa which is roll tide territory. this is rivals of auburn. so football ivan makes its way into politics. steve: speaking of politics, the democrats think that because you look at the balance of power in the u.s. senate. republicans have 53 seats.

democrats have 47. i need 51 for joomplet democrats think you know what, that seat right now is held by a democrat. going forward, it looks like it could flip read red, right? >> it's somewhat odd that right now alabama has a democratic senator and as a product of that very strange race that happened back in the special election to replace sessions in the first place. but democrats are looking at this electoral map for this year and they are looking at states that are supposed to be ruby red, places like texas. and they are thinking hey, maybe we can win there so it's the sort of seat where republicans facing a tough senate map they have got it win back alabama if they want to hang onto the senate. steve: meanwhile in the panhandle of texas dr. ronny jackson who was the president's physician for president trump and president george w. bush and president barack obama as well, he won last night going forward and, obviously, the president had endorsed him as well. the president had a good night compared to over the last month or so where he endorsed

candidates in colorado and north carolina and they lost. >> that's right. these candidates last night had the benefit not just of having trump tweet something nice about them. they have had either an aggressive endorsement as in the case of tommy tuberville or in the case of ronny jackson, he has been hanging out with trump. he was trump's doctor as the white house doctor. so he had a bit more of a personal connection. so i think the endorsement means a little more in a situation like that. steve: real quick, kristen, before you leave, if you look at what happened last night, can you tell anything about what's going to happen in november regarding the presidential election? >> i always caution people not to draw too many conclusions from what happens in primaries. high turn out, low turn out. these are strange elections. they don't tell us a lot about what is happening in november. you have to wait and see. steve: they are strange elections you heard it here, folks. kristen, thank you for joining us live. >> thank you.

>> i don't know about lean on me. it's a great song but for a national anthem? a little soft to be honest with you. i like it for a lot of other reasons. if i are going to change the national anthem it's the way to do it in america. we have a constitution and we have a legal process that allows you to vote on these type of things. i think at some point in our country we have to remember what makes us so strong and that is our history and our constitution it's the reason why slaves are actually free. it's the reason why schools are integrated. and it's the reason why right now you are seeing us be able to fight for so many rights like school choice fighting against all these long-term abortions and so many other issues that are -- have oppressed the born and the unborn. it's because of our constitution, people. let's wake up and realize that our country, the reason why our country is the desire of folks all over the world is because we have a system that we can vote things in and out. and let's take the proper

protocols to make those things happen if folks are really that passionate about it. brian: we should put in context getting rid of a poem that was written while francis scott key was observing knowing that washington was burned to the ground, the president was missing. the army was dispersed, would fort mchenry go down? no it wouldn't. the bombs would burst in air they would not reach it. the british would pick up and move because they couldn't destroy us. francis scott key was so moved he was on a ship. he wrote the poem 50 years later the national anthem. the second verse is problem nated particular. the first verse isn't. >> i can tell you, this right? i don't like the man francis key was or what he stood for or what he said i'm sure happy we won that war. i can tell that you. brian: i'm pretty sure we are better being america. part of our story. hofstra university is moving the thomas jefferson statue from the middle of their campus to a

different portion because it offended black students because he had slaves. jefferson also, jack, wrote the declaration of independence, was our third president, our first secretary of state, and awrote y of virginia. he was one of those indispensable americans in the american story. the slavery thing is impossible to get your head around, but he was a person of his times. why are we we evaluating thomas jefferson's role in america? >> we really should be looking at, you know, how we can learn from thomas jefferson's role in america and how we can add statues of so many prominent african-americans and people of all races and colors, and sexes. brian: thank you. >> women as well. add these folks to these campuses that, you know, whos watt first black student to go to hofstra? who was the first woman to break that barrier? those type of people should also be celebrated instead of us tearing things down.

let's add. brian: jack, i would have no problem putting a plaque at the bottom he also owned throughout his life and dad's life 600 states. he was born into that culture, sadly. real quick george washington university they want to change the name of two schools on that campus. james madison as well as winston churchill. madison created the constitution, wouldn't be the same country without him and winston churchill saved a free world. were they perfect? no. why now are we demanding perfection from monuments, plaques and statues? >> because people are fixated on this. they want to feel like they have made a change. they want to erase the history of our nation. we got to be careful, ladies and gentlemen, because if you erase your history, you are likely to repeat it. take it back to the bible. you read the bible biblical times there is a reason why we have an old and new testament. there is a reason why we have to learn the way things were and christ changed him once he got here.

"new york times" no longer embraces the diversity of thought. quote from bari weiss, podesta that would have easily been published just two years ago getting editor or writener serious trouble if not fired. she is not making it up. we saw that with an author names james bennett. he had the audacity to have op-ed from tom cotton published about using the military when there is violent uprising and protests across the country. if you think that's extreme thought can you say that if you like, pulse at the time showed a majority of americans agreed with cotton on that issue and it got james bennett eliminated from the publication. that's all you need to know as far as where they're at as far as diversity of thought, guys. steve: you know, joe, once the "new york times" was the most trusted paper in america. maybe the whole world. their motto is all the news that's fit to print. but really you read her resignation letter which suspect on your wall right now and it's all about twitter.

>> exactly right. and that was one other quote that stuck out at me, steve. quote, bari weiss twitter is not on the mast head but become its ultimate editor. how do we know that's the case? they used to have this position called the public editor at the "new york times" that they eliminated public editor protecting good practices basically a watchdog over the editors. now the executive editor, at least at the time said, we are going to rely on online comments and reader feedback instead. in other words, the social media mob now dictates content at the "new york times" in terms of what is proper and what is not. and bari weiss says it best here, guys, showing up to work as centrist. remember, she is not far right opinion writer. showing up to work at centrist at an american newspaper should not require bravery. apparently it did. she resigned and resigned in the most spectacular way i can remember anybody doing that in this business in a long time,

guys. jedediah: the "new york times" acting editorial editor has some comment on the weiss resignation. he say she would do you make of that? >> prove it. let's see some opinions, tomorrow this weekend may represent the right. it's worth repeating the "new york times" has not endorsed a republican presidential candidate since 1956. that means you had to have endorsed carter in 1980 or mcgovern or d dukakis go down the line. this paper needs to prove that it actually has a balanced opinion section. it hasn't right now. i will leave you with this last thought. only one writer at the "new york times" went on social media yesterday to defend bari weiss, everybody else was silent. can you call that silence of the

lambs, guys. ed bid by new york magazine might be doing something with her in the next venture. used to be a time older editor at the "times" you wouldn't want to change with the new generation. now the new generation is changing the old generation and the old generation is too timid to stand up for itself in what they believe. in it's crazy. instead of having a debate and wonder who won, if you have a debate you get fired or forced to quit. joe, thanks so much. >> thank you. have a good one, guys. brian: go up to jillian mele who is poised to give us the news. jillian: we begin with this story. nypd releasing new surveillance video in the killing of a 1-year-old boy. it shows two gunmen opening fire at cookout. he was shot and killed while sitting in his stroller. three others were also struck. new york city pba president says he is starting to lose hope as gun violence soars in the city. >> is there any hope of taking the city back? >> do you know what? i'm a guy that always see the

it's okay. he is crying. he is crying. >> wow, can you imagine? a panicked mother collapsing in tears after the officer saves her 3 week old from choking on milk. wow. that is incredible. send it back to you guys. we need the police. all right, jillian, thank you very much. they are there when you pick up the phone, janice dean is there when you pick up the "foxcast" machine and there she is with a special hot "foxcast" for this july 15th. janice: yes, hot topics it is across portions of the south. i will say that the temperatures are going to be relatively cooler with not as much humidity over the areas that we have seen extreme heat, parts of the southwest and the southern plains. we still have heat advisories here. but that air mass is going to move or creep towards the east coast. so you can see where the humidity and heat combined is going to feel well over 100 degrees in a lot of these areas. summertime heat, take all your

precautions, stay inside. certainly air conditioning will be welcome across some of these areas. we are seeing a cold front. along the front see potential for hail, damaging winds and even tornadoes, behind that that's where we have the cooler air but ahead of it and along the front that's where we will see the potential for showers and thunderstorms in the forecast. all right, jed and brian, steve, always nice to see you. steve: thank you. janice: back to you. jedediah: great to see you too, janis. thanks some. a potential covid-19 vaccine made right here in the u.s. is showing positive results. how close are we to a life-saving break through. dr. marc siegel here to discuss that and more coming up next. - [narrator] the shark vacmop combines powerful suction with spray mopping to lock away debris and absorb wet messes, all in one disposable pad. just vacuum, spray mop, and toss.

the shark vacmop, a complete clean all in one pad.

jedediah: this morning a potentially big step in the fight against covid-19, a new vaccine made here in the u.s. showing promising results producing an immune response in all 45 trial volunteers. here to react fox news medical tributer dr. marc siegel. welcome to the show as always. so what do you make of the vaccine? can we count on it. >> jed, i think this is very exciting news. all 45 volunteers receiving the moderna vaccine actually made anti-both bodies called

neutralizing antibodies that neutralize the sars covid-19 virus. tremendous news. this vaccine was well-tolerated by the way in all volunteers. some had flu-like symptoms or fever. you see that with a lot of vaccines. very well tolerated no. severe side effects whatsoever. moderna is now going into large trials to give it to 30,000 people. that's where the rubblier meets the road. we have seen a similar thing with the pfizer bion tech vaccine there are two now moving forward. the immune response is hugely important here. that's a very positive finding. jedediah: doctor, i want to ask you about a story that caught my eye as a former educators. the orange county school board has voted to allow in person classes without mandatory masks, without mandatory social distancing required is that dangerous? jed, you are the experts in

school. i think the default here should be that schools open. los angeles and san diego they are not. they are saying online only. i admire that orange county is moving in the direction of we are going to open our schools, especially sings there is a hot spot there but i have some suggestions to them. one, control your hot spot, first, please. let's get that under control. two, i think this there should be social distancing in schools and should be masking in schools. and europe has actually done that you know, they have been very gradual in europe. over in france, they started with younger children and then moved up to high schoolers. across europe they have kept social distancing. one really encouraging study out of new south wales, jed, shows children are really unlikely in schools to spread this adults. they have schools ongoing in stral now. australia now. less than 10% of the covid-19 cases in the united states are under the age of 18.

it's a step in the right directions. but, of course, we need to use it as an opportunity to teach our children about physical distancing and masking. let's use it as a teaching experience. jedediah: we actually have a statement from the oc superintendent of schools saying the board majority's recommendations are not binding. locally elected school boards and superintendents will approve and implement plans specification to their districts based on the needs of their schools and communities. so it leaves it open a little bit. dr. siegel, that some these local schools will be able to make their own decisions and obviously one other thing we didn't get to talk about today is the potential for transmission between teachers and administrators. we will get to that next time. thanks so much for being here. more "fox & friends" coming up on the other side. i like to recommend pronamel to my patients to help them protect their teeth and keep the enamel strong.

i like to recommend pronamel to my patients just between us, you know what's better than mopping? anything! at the end of a long day, it's the last thing i want to do. well i switched to swiffer wet jet and its awesome. it's an all-in-one so it's ready to go when i am. the cleaning solution actually breaks down dirt and grime. and the pad absorbs it deep inside. so, it prevents streaks and haze better than my old mop. plus, it's safe to use on all my floors, even wood. glad i got that off my chest and the day off my floor. try wet jet with a moneyback guarantee sfx: ssfx: clickvolving door ♪ music: high energy music ♪ ♪ music: high energy music ♪

jackson is the first-time candidate backed by president trump. pretty big races and we have a very special guest right now joining us now on the heels of his very busy night we have texas g.o.p. congressional nominee dr. ronny jackson. welcome to the show. congratulations on your big win. and to what duo that win? >> you know, i had the president's endorsement, which was huge, we got out our team and worked hard. we really just -- we had a grassroots effort that was just incredible out here. we had all the enthusiasm and it just kind of all peaked and came together at the right time. having president trump's endorsement in is huge in this part of texas. this is trump country up here and everybody loves our president. brian: here is what the president tweeted out congratulations to ronny jackson on a tough and really good opponent. ronny will be a fantastic congressman. represent the wonderful people of the great state of texas and u.s. very proud of you, ronny. so, doctor jackson, you have had a lot of prestigious jobs

especially the one in the white house for multiple presidents. what made you think you wanted to do this and what was the toughest part about the transition? >> i got into this race because i'm disgusted with what's going on in our country. i think a lot of folks are. i had a unique opportunity at this point in time to talk about what's going on with our country. i have been frustrated for a long time about the lack of support the president has from republicans from house and the senate. he need folks get in there and have his back and keep america great and american first agenda. i believe in him and i believe in that agenda it. motivated me to get in the race to do something about it. that's what led me here and we are on our way. steve: you have a unique position in addition to being a doctor and retired rear admiral as well as in the navy. you were down in texas in the 13th district. yesterday, governor abbott called on texans to do something that nobody has ever asked

before, wear a mask. watch this. >> we do not want to shut down business or texas again. we cannot have that. what we can do, however, we can use these practices like what you just said and that is people can wear masks. we can use these other strategies to slow the spread while we are awaiting the time of when we do have these vaccines. i do however, want to add one thing because i heard on your show what i hear on every show. that is people talk about the vaccines which will be coming. but, before vaccines will come. we will have therapeutic drug coming in maybe two or three months before vaccines will come so that people will be able to be treated who do contract covid-19. steve: right. doctor, one of the things that dr. redfield said yesterday, he is the director of the cdc, he said that if all americans wore a mask, they could control the coronavirus in one to two months. dr. jackson, what's your message to people who for one reason or

another simply do not want to wear a mask? >> well, i think wearing a mask is personal choice. and i don't tickly want my government telling me that i have to wear a mask. so i think that's a choice that i can make. we know a lot about this virus now. we know the mortality rate is less than .01%. it doesn't effect children if they do get it they don't get sick. look at your personal circumstance and look at your surroundings and decide if that's right for you. i'm a firm believer that that is a personal choice. and i encourage people if they want to wear a mask, wear a mask, but i don't wear a mask all that often to be honest with you. brian: wow, doctor, appreciate it. and that's part of the reason why in the beginning we were told not to wear masks and we were told it didn't work by the surgeon general and not to do it. then we were told by dr. fauci we should do it only if we feel sick. last week we are told it actually should help you not get sick, contract the virus or give the virus. so, i would just love for the

medical professionals to get on the same page and to be a lot less confusion amongst the american public. dr. jackson, you are in a very conservative district. it looks as though you are going to float right to this spot and have another exciting chapter in your career. congratulations. >> thank you, guys. i appreciate y'all. brian: meanwhile thank you to dr. jackson. we invited his democratic opponent gus durillo and got no response. i will check it in the break. i could check it now. jillian mele you are upstairs. i am going to call an audible now and to do that let's talk about what happened in the "new york times." steve, why don't you kick it off. because there was a major resignation yesterday and that that resignation didn't go -- wasn't quiet. it was detailed. it was specific. and it was inflammatory. steve: right, bari weiss who was hired by the "new york times" tn

resigned in the most spectaculad do it she wrote on her website a resignation letter which joe concha media observer a little while ago said this particular letter should probably win a pulitzer prize for resignation letters. essentially what she is saying when she was there, she got so much push back from colleagues who disagreed with her points of view. and she said this after the fact that in the four years since president trump was elected, said the lessons that ought to have followed the election, elections about the importance of understanding other americans. necessity of resisting tribalism and straddle of the free centraf ideas in a democratic society. have not been learned. instead, a new screen son

success has emerged in the press especially this paper the "new york times" that truth isn't process of collective discovery but an orthodoxy already known to an enlightened few to inform everybody else. jed, essentially what she is saying it's either my way or the highway at the "new york times." jedediah: yeah. also saying you can be hired and brought in as somebody who will provide some diversity of thought, who will bring in others to write who would provide diversity of thought and they want that allusion, right? the second that you actually deliver on that promise and provide a different opinion, you are ostracized, you are bullied, openly. she is referencing things that were happening where everyone knew she was being bullied and some people within the establishment of the "new york times" were fine with that good on her for making this public. this is something not only happening at the "new york times." it's happening at networks. it's happening on tv shows and

many, many locations. if she had just resigned and said nothing, much of this would not have been disclosed. it's a courageous stance to take. we had joe concha on last hour who talked about the fact that this was the greatest resignation letter that potentially we have ever seen. take a listen to what he had to say. >> not since jerry maguire's resignation letter which is actually a mission statement have we seen such a written document have such an impact on an organization. this thing deserved a pulitzer. pulitzer for resignation letters this is certainly it. they used to have a position called the public editor at the "new york times" a couple years ago that they eliminated basically a watchdog over the editors. now the executive editor, at least at the time said, we are going to rely on online comments and reader feedback instead. in other words, the social media mob now dictates content at the "new york times" in terms of what is proper and what is not. one writer at the "new york times" went on social media yesterday to defend bari weiss, everybody else was silent.

brian: and right now in this current climate, jedediah, unless you are impervious. clinton eastwood. stephen colbert on the left they tried to cancel him and jimmy fallon on "the tonight show" it didn't work. if you are on the edge notoriety. you are done and your career is three through. harper's magazine all those liberals signing off saying can we stop this? i say it's pretty ironic and rich. you started this and now it's blowing up in your face because you went out to targets and moderate conservatives, perhaps, in the end all the guns got turned on you and your career. now they can't handle what they started. i think that's abundantly clear. i think that we have to identify who the -- who is doing the canceling. once we identify who is doing the canceling, people can stand up. because i have no idea what bari weiss' opinions are but i would like to hear. they i'm curious what tom cotton thinks, i like to hear it. we used to win or lose in the

debate. now no one wants you to get in the ring. that's the sinful part of what is going on right now. if you don't mind me saying so even though i'm on this network. look at the diversity of the network. neil cavuto different opinion than dana perino dramatically different than the five who is a collections of opinions. there is nobody else that is doing that every other show and every other network is just the same with different outfits and different gel. that's personally, i think, what's going on in this country. hopefully we will stand up and be able to give our opinions, right or wrong we can debate it. jillian, now, after the falses to before i will toss to you. jillian: sorry, i was at my computer. i was around the corner. brian: it's okay. jillian: good morning to you. let's start off your headlines with this. the family of my naya rivera remember the glee actress after her body was found. while we grieve the loss of our beautiful legend we ar we are bd

steve: as state of florida officials debate how to best fight coronavirus, a new report by our fox news affiliate in orlando, florida has revealed a potential controversy in the way labs are reporting the percentage of positive and negative covid test results. >> we were tipped off the numbers didn't look right and looking at the breakdown of test

labs i noticed astronomic pot of reyes rate this as floridians doubting the numbers being reported by the state. steve: you are supposed to be able to trust those numbers. here to react florida republican congressman and retired u.s. army ranger brian mast. congressman, good morning to you. >> good morning to you. steve: we have an example. orlando health, the reported pot of rate was 98%. in other words, 98% of everybody who came in for a covid test had it, according to what they had reported to florida. but then they went back and looked and it was less than 10%. meanwhile the v.a. in orlando, they were reporting almost three quarters were positive when, in fact, it was just 6%. what do you think is happening with these reporting covid numbers? >> well, i think you see a couple of problems, obviously with that. americans are making decisions. county commissioners are making decisions. governors are making decisions.

schools, election commissions everybody is looking at these numbers, the pot o positivity re they are spiking and what's working and not working. role time decisions being made. if you have some of these labs not reporting the negatives, only reporting the positives, skewing these numbers like orlando health saying 98% when it was really only 9 and orlando va saying 76% when it was really only 6%. they are mefsing with the truth. they are not allowing information that allows americans to manage their own risk. manage their own health and make the decisions that they need to make according to the risks that are imposed by the people that live in their family. do they have seniors in their family or somebody with cystic fibrosis or something else. they are not having that opportunity to make the real truthful decisions that they need to make and it's wrong and ignorant. steve: congressman, do you feel it is an innocent mistake or something else going on here?

>> i think it's too earlily to say whether this was innocent or nefarious. what we do know this has gone on in a number of different location. i lean on the nefarious side thasome of these entities want o see higher numbers go up to make things more dramatic. you hate to say that but in the world we live in you can sigh it this is being politicized. when we look at it causes us to ask the question across the country where else has this happened not only in florida but the orlando area and other states and who is getting the wrong information that they can't trust? steve: the florida department of health put out a statement they said in recent days the florida department of health noticed some smaller private labs weren't reporting negative test rules data to the state. the department immediately began working with those labs to ensure that all results were being reported in order to provide comprehensive and transparent data. i'm sure there is going to be an investigation, congressman, to figure out what went haywire

there. dr. redfield who is the director at the cdc yesterday was responding to the fact that in a number of our southern states coronavirus there are spikes and you look at your home state of florida right there there is a problem. what he said is he wonders whether or not northerners heading south for vacation may be to blame for the surge because it all happened around june 12th through the 16th. maybe memorial day when the northerners decided to go south for the vacation. does that sound like a plausible theory tough? >> florida is a very transient place. and i think you see that the most transient areas are the most affected areas of florida, miami, dade, broward, palm beach. busiest places in florida. seeing biggest spike in these cases. not just northern states but many other places that can be an

example that points to the travel come in. escalating these numbers coming into the state to working on raise these numbers. no doubt about it. steve: congressman brian mast joining us from washington. sir, thank you very much. >> always good to talk to you. steve: nice to talk to you. exactly 7:23 here in new york city. cancel culture coming for the goya ceo after he praised president trump. now a new op-ed says he was just looking for, quote: white acceptance. rachel campos-duffy furious about that. you are going to hear her next. ♪ something to talk about ♪ let's give them something to talk about ♪

him and say you know, you are a dissenter, you are not allowed to do that he stood strong. he said no, i have of the right as an american to stand, you know, in the rose garden with donald trump just as i did with president obama. and i think that what is interesting is he has really given a lot of people not just conservative hispanics like me americans across the board courage to stand up. this is more than about donald trump, jed. this is a shot across the bow. they are trying to intimidate ceos, board rooms, business owners all across the board to say listen, it is unacceptable to support a republican, to be a conservative in america. and they want to do to the business world what essentially they did to hollywood which is in hollywood if you are a republican you are blacklisted, you can't get a job. you live in fear and you never tell your views. they want to erase our voices from the public square. and this ceo is what we call in

spanish -- champion, refused to back down and bow down to the mob. jedediah: what do you think of the buy back movement where people are rushing out and saying i'm going to support goya? i'm going to buy more than ever. >> it's great. latins like me i went and bought $250 worth. i didn't need that much. i buy goya anyway but i bought a whole bunch. a lot of people who don't use goya who are giving this money to food banks. there is an operation online right now. i think you covered it. you can, if you don't use some of the products, can you still donate them to food banks. i think it's great and a way for people to fight back on cancel culture and this idea of silencing dissenting voices you guys covered so well this story at the "new york times." it's going across the board. and we have to stand up and we have to speak for ourselves or else, you know, we are never going to have a voice or space as conservatives in america.

more frequent and complete bowel movements. do not give linzess to children less than six and it should not be given to children six to less than 18, it may harm them. do not take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe, stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include gas, stomach area pain, and swelling. change your thinking to ibs-c. if your constipation and belly pain keeps coming back, tell your doctor and say yesss! to linzess.

jedediah: gun violence is soaring in new york city. police say there are been dozens of shootings in recent a days. kayla from our new york affiliate joins us live in brooklyn as calls grow for safer streets.

kayla? >> yeah, jedediah, after 7:30 this morning in new york city police tell us there have already been 7 people shot today in two separate shooting incidents. one of them happening right where i'm standing in crown heights, brooklyn. can you see police are still investigating this morning trying to find the person or people responsible. six people were found shot here just after 2:00 this morning. one of them dead on arrival. the other five, thankfully are expected to survive. now, this is turning out to be yet another bloody week here in new york city. at least 38 people shot in 27 incidents so far. early monday morning, a 1-year-old baby boy was pronounced dead in the hospital from a shooting sunday night. some other victims from over the weekend as young as 12 and 15 years old. according to the nypd the week of july 6th through the 12th, shooting incidents surged by 277% compared to the exact same

week last year. here's new york city mayor de blasio speaking on skyrocketing crime yesterday. >> what we have to do to end the shootings and bring the community out to occupy the corners, stand by the strong and proud community. people will come out to take back their neighborhood. people will do that all over this city. and thousand how we turn this tide. >> look. that is not what i'm hearing when i hear talking with members of the community and community activists. what we are watching right now is gang violence playing out on the streets. these gang members, they say, feel liberated to go out and settle their beef, so to speak because the nypd disbanded their 600 member anticrime unit last month after growing pressure to defund the police and protest that specific unit they say was specifically targeting getting illegal weapons off the street and now many of these gang

members, community activist tell me are liberated because they are able to go outside. they are able to, you know, carry out their violence with -- whenever they see somebody not in uniform. they know there are no cops on the street. jedediah? brian: kayla thank you some. way to stay on top of this. let's bring in former new york city mayor rudy giuliani. mr. mayor, brooklyn borough president adams held up two baby shoes of a 1-year-old and talked about the latest victim of gun violence, and he called on the mayor to bring back the 1600 men and women force of the anticrime unit that might have been able to prevent a shooting like this. will he listen. >> first of all, eric is absolutely right. that was one of the critical five or six drastic mistakes that de blasio made. that unit -- i started that unit. it was originally called the street crime unit. they are the people who straightened out times square

for me. people who straightened out harlem and key control. bad people don't control their guns. you have to devise a strategy to do it. we called a strategy called stop, question, frisk, before i left office it was held constitutional by eric holder. and by janet reno. i convinced them it was constitutional. i limited it to 100,000 per year. it went up to 600,000 and they started to make a lot of mistakes. i also suggest bringing back the constitutional terry stops because you have to take the guns from them. they are not going to go sign a registration form and they're not going to turn it in. so you have to find a legal way and terry vs. the united states provides it. but then have you got it make out all the paperwork and be very careful have to limit it to 100,000. you can't go to 600,000 which is what destroyed it. have you got to get those guns

and have you got to do it quickly. i bring back the anticrime unit. i would -- i sure as heck would be in the compstat room right now and be there all night trying to figure out where the hot spots are and redeploying the right police officers at exactly the right time. i don't know if de blasio stays up at night. i know he gets up very, very late in the morning. i don't know if he would understand compstat. i designed it with bill bratton and ed maple i was there very often when we had a serial killing and cut it down to two rather than 10. it's a very simple program. you just watch where the crimes are. they are obviously now very much concentrated in northern brooklyn and put the right police officers there. most of those right police officers are in the unit that he disbanded which makes no sense. he has also got -- he has to support the police. they don't trust him. they haven't trusted him since the assassinations of the two officers in brooklyn when he

called the police department racist and the guy came all the way from baltimore and killed new york city policemen. so they don't trust him. he has to get their trust back. he has to tell them, look, i know you have to make tough decisions i will support you if you are right. i'm not just going to turn you over to wolves. if you do like happened in minneapolis you go to jail for the rest of your life. steve: rudy, and the police themselves turned their back famously on mayor de blasio a couple of times. what's interesting is rather than calling out more police, what the mayor just called for in that soundbite are up by kayla, our reporter, he said bring the community out to take back the community. and. >> they will get shot. the community will get shot. steve: rudy, hang on a second. at the same time have you this story that has captivated the nation about little 1-year-old baby in the stroller who was shot. the father and grandmother were on our air in the last 36 hours

talking about how the community will not reveal who was involved in. this here they are talking about that little boy. hold on, rudy listen to. this i know. >> my son's life. i can't get that back. i can't hold him no more. i can't hear him calling me daddy no more. i can't kiss him no more. i can't play with him no more. i can't do nothing with him no more. i have got to put my son in the ground now. and he is only 1. his birthday is in two months. he didn't live to see 2. like he didn't live life. i wanted to get him out of this violence before something like this happens. >> for the coward that did this, you should be ashamed of yourself because everybody talk about black lives matter, what about baby lives? steve: and mayor, the family said, lock, we would like people

who know who the shooters were to come forward but they haven't heard anything. now you can go, rudy. >> well, samantha gardner made one of the most eloquent statements about that marxist, terrorist organization, black lives matter. they don't care about black lives. davell gardner they don't care about. there is no demonstration for him or for the 9,000 other black men killed not by the police last year or the ones that are getting killed, 20 per week in new york now. they don't care about them. they only care about black lives that can be exploited and they try to turn the community against the police. and the minute the community loses the police, then the bad guys take over. so, there needs to be a restructuring. the mayor has got to go into the communities and say the police are not your enemy, they are your friends. he has got to stop demeaning them. he has to stop saying things that they are racist and that

his son is afraid of him. sure his son should be afraid of the police and be afraid more likely wave get killed which is by another black man. that happens 9,000 times a year. the police thing happens about 9 times a year. if you are a responsible day and care about your son, son, be careful with the police, i will tell you what 1,000 times more when you say that to a kid you are giving political correctness you are not giving honest advice for the good of the kid. i went into those communities not to harass black people but to save their lives and i saved more black lives than any mayor in the history of the city. i think i know what i'm talking about. i could turn this around in a month, one month if you let me bring back the cops that i want and the programs that i want. all of which have been held constitutional by the clinton justice department.

jedediah: rudy, bill de blasio is not likely to do what you want he is likely painting black lives matter outs of trump fox all star. there is a another story we have been following closely amid anti-police rhetoric across the country. bronx district attorney who has jet to file charges against a suspect known a video putting an nypd officer in a head lock. what kind of message does this send that no charges filed. suspect released. what are they doing? >> having been a prosecutor for most of my life and very proud of it, i have to tell you they have done a good job of infiltrating district attorney's offices without our noticing. george soros going back to about 2016 has invested something like 30 or $40 million in local d.a.s races and electing people who aren't qualified to be prosecutors. people who i regard as criminally friendly, police-hating lawyers. that's their whole background.

for example, the prosecutor in st. louis who wants to prosecute that couple who appeared to be saving their lives, she got more money from soros than anyone else. and it's one of soros' topics. the one in contra costa, california who wants to prosecute for a hate crime the people trying to cover over the black lives matter, hate crime seems a little excessive. she is another soros planted d.a. in philadelphia he has a d.a. that doesn't take property crimes. the police are going crazy. and so is property crime gone to number one in the country. he had one in san francisco that did the same thing they threw him out. >> putting $200 million in racial justifiable content. >> delusionally invaded our criminal justice system to destroy it. brian: i hear it. we are going to cover that at a different time. meanwhile we reached out to the bronx d.a.'s office about the comment story we just telling you about have not heard back. rudy giuliani, thank you so much

for joining us, mr. mayor. >> yeah. keep watching my city, please. a tragedy. brian: real quick, would you ever run again for mayor? >> no. no; brian. you really shouldn't go back but i got to do something. i put so much of my life into changing it and i was so proud of it. i was proud because all the lives that we saved. and also i think about the lives i lost doing it. it wasn't mine, it was the cops. 26 of them before september 11th died trying to protect lives of black people. brian: mr. mayor, we will see you soon. >> because they love them. brian: straight ahead, we change gears. the school board. jedediah: thank you. brian: thank you, rudy giuliani. the school board in orange county, california allow students back in the classroom without masks. how can parents assure their students will be.

♪ brian: out in california the original county board of education facing backlash for voting to reopen schools without requiring mask-wearing or social distancing. the board voted 4-1 in favor of reopening. it will be joining me now who to

proceed. the oc board member himself physician dr. ken williams. dr. williams, you want 4-1 decision to open up. so will you? >> right here in orange county now, brian, there is a great diversity of thought. we are not united on this. the board took upon themselves a few weeks ago to hold an expert panel on what is best going forward in reopening schools. we got this panel. we assembled it. we created a white paper and in that white paper we gave options for schools to open. unfortunately, they are not adhering to and following the american academy of pediatrics as well as other pediatric physicians calling for reopening schools. san diego has now put on these negotiations negotiation issues. everything about social distancing. medicare for all. free college tuition.

defunding the police. these are all a part of their conditions for going back to work. so this has become a political football. brian: right. >> there is no end in sight to it. brian: dr. williams what's amazing is what you are saying is the l.a. teacher's union said medicare for all. we have to defund the police in order to go back to school to bring children safely back to school. it makes no sense but it's scary. i will say this real quick. why not do the social distancing. why not require the masks to at least quiet some critics? >> those are good questions, too. there is no requirements right now. we put upon the table some suggestions if we look at other countries opened safely they do not do any social distancing. they do not have any masks. if you look at the data on the masks, they are not 100 percent effective and could give you a false sense of security. social distancing, you know, these children are a very loco short. the risk of them getting this disease is extremely low.

we know data that happened in new york city during the epidemic outbreaks in march and april and june. we had day care center. brian: you bring up good points good data and good comparison to other countries. thanks so much we appreciate it we will follow this story and get you back. california department of health we called them and we have not gotten -- board of education reopen the schools. we called them stressed the importance of social distancing and face coverings when social distancing measures are difficult to maintain. and we remain 100 percent committed to following and sharing the guidance of the california department of public health. so there you go. we completed the segment. dr. oz will be next. just a moment you will watching "fox & friends." ♪ ♪

we're breaking it down as always and thanks for having me. brian: yup and absolutely, jed and we'll be talking politics and coronavirus. we start with a fox news alert. president trump's picks are two for two in their run off races. steve: brian, ronny jackson, the doctor, both moving on to the general election in november jedediah: our very own griff jenkins is live in washington with the results coming in overnight. griff what do you got? griff: jed, brian, steve big night in alabama for the former auburn football coach after the president went in for the political newcomer let's go to the race board, tommy tube rville crushing jeff sessions in his comeback bid by more than 20 points and now facing democratic incumbent doug jones in the president tweeting his congratulations last night saying wow, just called tommy tuberville won big against jeff sessions and will be great for the incredible people of alabama, and doug jones is a terrible senator who just a

super liberal puppet for schumer and pelosi, represents alabama poorly on to november 3 and down in texas, another major score for the president, and his former white house physician, ronny jackson defeating josh winegarner by an 11 point margin you'll see here dr. jackson joined fox & friends in the last hour explaining why he's running. >> i just got into this race because i'm just disgusted with what's going on in our country and i think a lot of folks are. i've been frustrated for a long time about the lack of support the president has. he needs folks that will get in there have his back and help him with keep america great america first agenda. griff: meanwhile in maine democrats choosing sarah giddeon to challenge republican incumbent susan collins and what is sizing-up guys to be one of the most competitive senate races in november possibly. and she is the establishment-backed democratic and comes with a huge war chest raising a whopping record of 23 million so far, so keep your eyes on this race as

democrats try and take back the senate we'll see what happens. brian: it's going to be interesting because if you don't beat doug jones you don't keep the senate for the republicans and if susan collins can't find a way to hold on to her seat it's going to be extremely tough too for mitch mcconnell, senate majority leader but griff i'd like to take this time to thank you, so thank you. griff: thank you. brian: coming up shortly, tommy tuberville will be here live to talk about a win in his primary and what it's going to take to get that senate seat for next six year, meanwhile the president of the united states got his first chance to really go directly at a joe biden policy. number one, joe biden admitted he had one, he had an announcement two hours before and at 5:00 in the afternoon the president was going to talk more about sanctions on china, for the way they've destroyed hong kong he ended up segwaying into the difference between his proposals and joe biden's be america. for example, when biden comes talks about energy, he wants clean energy, clean electricity. wouldn't say no fracking but in

joe biden's world it's hard to see natural gas in it. he also says 2 trillion over four years, for clean energy. so the president was just anxious to say look at how different i am than him. watch. >> mr. president, please listen to your public health experts. president trump: he opposed my very strict travel ban. xenophobic he called me. >> if he had listened to joe biden hundreds of thousands of additional lives be lost. >> i see american manufacturing , american workers racing to dominate the global market. president trump: america lost nearly 10,000 factories while joe biden was vice president. >> one in five miles of our highways are still in "poor condition" according to the american engineers. president trump: why didn't he fix them? he was there for eight years with president obama. why didn't they fix them? >> no more consequential challenge that we must meet in

the next decade and the on- rushing climate crisis. president trump: in other words he wants to impose the green new deal. there's never been a time like this where you've had an election of people so different. brian: he's 100% right and for example, the thing that joe biden is going to get scrutiny if we ever can get him out and debating on regular basis is where the $800 billion go that was supposed to go for the infrastructure to build those roads and bridges what about the shovel-ready projects not only did we have no projects but no shovels and he's never been asked about that but he was in control of that. he was put in charge of that so everything he's critical of that didn't happen over the last three years he had in year one of his eight-year term, 800 billion to do that infrastructure program and as the president said there were no shovel-ready jobs and aoc combined and came up with this energy plan and that's why it's way to the left, steve. steve: you've got to figure, brian that the president is very

frustrated, because as you look at joe biden, who is reading the teleprompter there in a virtually empty auditorium in wilmington delaware yesterday , you know, according to a number of polls joe biden is actually doing better than the president of the united states. the president disagrees, says that his polls show that it's much tighter than some of the national polls but nonetheless, the president's frustrated because, you know, joe decided yesterday he was going to talk about his energy policy. the president would like to compare and contrast all of their policies whether it's energy or immigration or defense or jobs or the economy, they would like to do it head-to-head but right now , as everybody knows, we're in the midst of a coronavirus pandemic and i don't know that the world is really clicked into the presidential race so much as they are just trying to get through this thing. you know, people are exhausted by the coronavirus. we would love to have it over as

he would and the president would like to have it over so he could have his rallies and he could have a big rnc nominating speech, but as the new york post says, it sounds as if according to two republican sources, the rnc, the big event will be outdoors because during coronavirus, jed it is simply safer for everybody involved. jedediah: yeah those typical campaign rallies just aren't happening and that is where president trump thrives. joe biden is not a good campaign er that's no secret to us anyone with eyes and ears or to the biden camp their hope is he will get out and hit the right talking points and not get a lot of questions and he won't have to speak spontaneously which is something that he has struggled with and his hope was something like this clean energy initiative is to hit that hard left portion of the base. those are people that they are very worried are going to stay home because they will be un inspired they will not be enthusiastic, there's a big enthusiasm gap there and they're worried about that so they need

to liven up the bernie sanders, the elizabeth warren wing of that party and that is his way to do it and they need to do it in a way that doesn't force joe biden to have to get on something like a campaign trail because he struggles with that. he's not good at it and they know it. brian: do you know what? in football when you want a team to pass to make some mistakes you have to get them to pass but the first thing you got to do is tie them get close to them and make them get their often into gear. the president has got to close in on all of the battleground states that'll force joe biden out and it'll be game on in the fall. meanwhile let's change gears and talk about the number one topic in your kitchen table, the coronavirus potentially big step in fight against covid-19. a new vaccine made here in the u.s. showing promise. the market reacted in a positive way producing an immune response in all 45 trial volunteers. steve: here to weigh in our friend, long time contributor dr. mehmet oz host of the dr. oz show, dr. oz good morning to you >> good morning to you, steve it was big news.

this is a vaccine that's never been made before it's mrna vaccine, the nih funded the trial and you mentioned the 45 patients but let me give you a little context on this. they each got two doses of the vaccine different amounts in each of the doses and very trivial side effects, little fatigue, headaches sometimes, that little injection site pain, but they may, in all cases, antibodies against covid-19 and they made those antibodies oftentimes at four times the amount you'd make if you'd naturally gotten the virus so theoretically although it doesn't prove it, they really are prepared to battle covid-19 if they were exposed to it. steve: so they advance to the next phase which is interesting. dr. oz i wanted to ask you it's a political question but really it's a question about the vaccine and that is there have been rumors in washington that perhaps just before the election there's going to be like an october surprise where the president will be able to announce hey do you know what? this vaccine, whichever one it is, is going to be ready, we've

been working on it, and so people would feel better about the government response. when you look at the time table as it is now, is that possible? could there be an announcement of a vaccine in october? >> i think they'll have some evidence of whether the vaccine is headed in the right direction but we won't know if we have the right vaccine by october. i actually had peter hotez, one of our nation's leaders of vaccines on the show this week and asked him how long until we get widespread vaccination and he actually said it could take a year so next summer before we have widespread vaccine amounts and this trial the phase iii starting with this vaccine we just talked about is going to take two years to completely finish it. now, 30,000 people tracked over two years means within three or four months we'll start to see data but you remember you have to vaccinate people and let them get infected so be exposed to the virus naturally and figure out if they were actually able to withstand the virus more often than not. you can't do that in three

months you probably can't do it in six months but certainly by the beginning of 2021 we'll have a pretty good idea which vaccines be the ones to bet on. remember there's 17 already being used in human trials and there are 150 total possible vaccines out there but none will be ready by november. jedediah: yeah, and dr. oz so many questions obviously about how long immunity lasts and what not, that we'll have to wait and see but i want to ask you about some discrepancies in reporting. a fox affiliate in florida has found these discrepancies in the coronavirus test reporting. what do you make of that? >> well, different states report it a little differently. in theory you're supposed to have an actual test that you are covid-19 but at least early on there were oftentimes when someone had all of the symptoms of covid-19 so they would just say wait they probably had covid-19 without knowing it for sure. but i'll tell you, the fog of war which we thought would have lifted by now continues because we've got so many folks desiring to get tested, oftentimes

they're not the people that are coming to the hospital who have clear symptoms they are just people who are worried and so they get their tests, they wait a week before they get the results back. there's a lot of mud that happens that's difficult to see through and when you try to really get a crisp idea of what policies to advocate for and the different political leaders i spoke to, that's their biggest complaint. they actually don't quite know exactly where the problems are so they can't target their responses and instead they have to give broad responses that the government and the entire state when they'd rather do it for a county. brian: dr. oz this is a little severe. this isn't nuance, this isn't a method this isn't a style. this report that you're about to hear a portion of, has something where they ask orlando health, the reporter said 98% of the people who took the test tested positive? they said let me take a look oh, i'm sorry it's .9. here is robin gordorana of fox 35 in orlando. listen. we were tipped off that the

numbers didn't quite look right on the state's daily case report and looking at the break down of test labs, i quickly noticed astronomical positive iterates. this news all coming as so many floridians are already doubting the numbers being reported by the state. brian: it's unbelievable. take a look at this. this is, look you can't lie about hospitalizations and you can't lie about deaths obviously but about cases, orlando health as i mentioned 9.4 instead of 98 orlando veterans they said 76%, the reporter called us and said it's really 6, so my goodness when you're wondering where the surge is coming from what state is good and what is bad, whether to go into a restaurant or a health club, those numbers matter. >> yeah, brian, i mean that orlando station is my affiliate and they're fantastic so i trust their work but i have no idea about any of this. it's a surprise to me as it is to most of your viewers. brian: all right and here is the department of health in florida says in recent day, the

florida department of health noticed some smaller private labs weren't reporting negative test results data to the state and the department immediately began working with those labs to ensure that all the results being reported in order to provide comprehensive and transparent data. not buying it. steve: well let's see they are going to have an investigation. meanwhile dr. redfield , dr. oz yesterday said all americans should wear a mask. he said that if everybody wore a mask, this coronavirus could be under control in one or two months and really, the choice is do you want to do that or be locked down again, no school, things like that, and he also had an observation of why, perhaps, we're suddenly seeing spikes down in the sun belt. here is the doctor. >> if you look at the south, everything happened around june 12-june 16. it it all simultaneously kind of pop and we're of the view that there was something else that was the driver maybe the

memorial day not weekend but the memorial day week where a lot of northerners decided to go south for vacations. steve: so do you think that is a plausible explanation of why they are seeing spikes down in the sun belt? a number of people from up in new york, new jersey, connecticut, got in the car went down 95, next thing you know, no masks there. people caught it. >> well the cdc director has more data than anybody else and i do think it's plausible. we actually looked at some phone data, cell phone data to put traffic travel patterns and although most people travel within their state there was a dramatic bump over memorial day weekend as well as the following week and so it's plausible but can i go back to the point you made a little bit earlier about the fact that we're not defense less? one of the other things that dr. redfield said was that face coverings basically give us freedom. we all have a responsibility to protect america. it's actually an act of kindness as well but if you really want to be free, and keep our businesses open wear those masks and there are two studies he

mentioned one was showing that in the boston hospital system they dramatically changed virus transmission by adhering to strict universal mask policy but the one that was more important that came out from a cdc report showing there were these two hair dressers in m month. one of them was sick for eight days and they tested first and tested positive. in those eight days, they managed dozens of clients -- steve: 150 clients. right but 67 got tested and those 67 that were actually tested all tested negative. now what was different, despite the fact that these two hair dressers were ill again taking care of 150-plus people they were always wearing a cloth mask so obviously it works it seems to prevent the spread of infection and let's take a lesson from this and reverse the trend we're seeing across the south. jedediah: thank you dr. oz for being here obviously lots of lessons learned as we learn something new about this virus it seems every week. appreciate you being here as always. >> take care.

steve: thank you. jedediah: joe biden unveiling his plan to rebuild our economy around clean energy, but our next guest says the plan is a job killer and will hurt the industry. stay tuned. >> ♪ ♪ (announcer) now more than ever, it's important to lose weight,

what happened in detroit when the automotive industry left and we saw what happened in pittsburgh when the steel industry left and that's exactly what joe biden is trying to do to houston, texas by 2035 and he has taken his energy cues from a oc and bernie sanders of all people, and that's very dangerous to someone like me living right here in houston, texas and joe biden is on the record for saying "no new fracking." the very technology that actually made us energy- independent and is also reducing our carbon footprint so this really makes no sense to me brian: well if you want to win texas and a lot of the polls show it closed they are flooding money into texas, upon further review this doesn't seem to be the way and by the way we invited your opponent on. she has not gotten back to us, but it doesn't seem to be the way. do you think that's been clear to the people of houston? >> i believe so, especially we've been hit very hard with the coronavirus pandemic and how that has affected the oil & gas industry has just been tremendous. we're talking about over 250,000 jobs and also, all of the

industries that are related to the oil & gas industry here in houston. i always tell my friends, the houston oilers, were the first football team down here in this town, and we can't forget what made houston great and that is the oil & gas industry, and there is a way to do this through we can continue to reduce our carbon footprint through innovation, while at the same time continuing to create jobs and what the green new deal does, what aoc is talking about and what president biden has already signed off on will do just the opposite of what i just said. brian: what about getting back into the paris climate deal they say they would up our profile with the rest of the world. >> you know, the best way for this country is to lead from the front and lead by example and quite frankly if we don't get india and china and russia on board, we're talking about fixing a global issue, but we will destroy the oil & gas industry at no gain to the globe india and china right now are making four coal plants per month.

they're increasing their footprint but through fracturing we're doing just fine. we don't need to be a part of the climate accords we need to lead by example and allow our private sector to continue to innovate for the future. brian: westley hunt it's going to be a sprint to the finish and a hot summer and we hope things get better in houston with the coronavirus thanks so much for joining us today. >> god bless you, thank you. brian: back at you and also we hope there's no lockdown there or there's no need for it. giselle maxwell is denied bail after a judge rules she's an extreme flight risk and nancy grace says that's the right call she's live with takeaways from the hearing next.

now know the name of the

washington state police officer shot and killed chasing a suspect, jonathan shoop joined the bothel police department in june of 2019 after serving in the coast guard. a memorial is growing near the police station. another officer shot is out of the hospital. the suspect's name has not been released. officer was 32 years old and leaves behind a fiancee. >> in just hours attorneys for george floyd's family are expected to announce a major lawsuit. they're planning to file a civil suit against the cit minneapolis and the ex-officers charged in floyd's death. meanwhile attorneys for two of those former officers are hads asking a judge to hold minnesota 's attorney general in context. they say keith ellison violated a gag order issued last week one is asking for him to be sanctioned the other calling for his arrest. jed? jedediah: thanks, jillian. jeffrey epstein's former girlfriend and long time

associate pleading not guilty to sex trafficking charges during her arraignment in new york. the federal judge denied bail for maxwell deeming her a flight risk due to significant wealth, and collection of international passports and here to break down the hearing fox nation host nancy grace no better person to break down the latest in this story so what's your take on the ruling? >> yes, i can hear you and i'll tell you what happened in court. there was never really a chance in my mind that there was going to be a bond granted and this is why. she is a french citizen. there is no extradition treaty with france. she has three passports and at least $20 million in the bank. now, another bombshell emerged. we now know that according to transcripts, she is actually married and now she's concealing not only her marriage and her spouse but her money, so how can you go to a judge with a straight face and say that i

want a bond, please put me up in a luxury hotel in manhattan that took a nerve when everybody else is waiting for trial in jail with charges like these plus she's not revealing her money, her financial background, or her husband, who, we see did not co-sign on the bond. that's very unusual. a judge is not going to grant a bond under these conditions. jedediah: so now this trial is scheduled for july 12, 2021 that's quite a bit of time away. what happens in the interim in this case? >> in the interim she is going to sit behind bars and wait for her trial like everybody else charged in connection with raping children. now let's get down to something else that happened yesterday. i'm past the bond hearing i didn't think that the judge would grant bond it be a shocker if she did but what they did

yesterday is reveal their trial strategy. this is what they're going to claim at trial which is about one year from now which is not unusual in the case of this magnitude. they are going to attack the victims, we saw that unfold ing in court and they're going to portray her as a victim herself of jeffrey epstein. that's my takeaway. another reason they did not get bond yesterday. first of all they actually said they wanted to put her up in a luxury manhattan hotel. have you ever been in the lobby of the plaza or the waldorf with the chandeliers and the bellman and the consolidate it air? oh, no that is not going to happen in a child rape case, but in addition to saying that, and obscuring the facts about her wealth, we see what the victims have to say. one of them even speaking by video link, and she was very very powerful.

jedediah: now, nancy you have a special investigation this friday on fox nation, with a q&a. tell us a little bit about what we can expect to see. >> well what we've done is gone in depth, you know, when you look online and you read an article or you hear a quick news hit, you don't get the full story. we go behind the sound bites and actually sit down and interview people connected to maxwell and this case and i learned so much more about it. like how maxwell met jeffrey epstein to start with, why they broke up. guess what they broke up because epstein wouldn't marry her and that gives me insight into her thinking. she was still after epstein when she would procure these young girls even at their schools in manhattan would get them outside the school. i learned that for some of them, she offered college tuition and

lied to parents about taking the girl away from home to go to a get together about college opportunities. that's why one of the moms let the child go. i mean, the way i grew up my parents would do anything to get me into and through college, and i think of these young girls , thinking that they would get an opportunity and then getting raped by jeffrey epstein with maxwell standing by. jedediah: absolutely outrageous. nancy grace, thank you for being here as always and don't forget to catch her special on maxwell on fox nation.com. thanks so much. tommy tuberville easily beating jeff sessions to win the alabama senate run off so what does he think about his chances in november? the former football coach he's going to join us live, next. a lot of healthy foods are very acidic and they're actually pulling out the minerals from the enamel. i like to recommend pronamel to my patients. pronamel will help push the minerals

steve: welcome back we've been telling you gun violence continues to sore in new york city. police say there have been dozen s of shootings over the last couple of days, jed. jedediah: kayla mamalack from our new york affiliate joins us live in brooklyn as calls grow for safer streets, kayla? >> yeah, and jedediah it's still early just after 8:30 this morning, and police say at least seven people have already been shot today on new york city streets in two separate incidents, one of them happening right where i'm standing here in crown heights, brooklyn. you see police still investigat ing this morning six people were found shot here, just after 2:00 a.m. one of them dead on arrival. the other five thankfully are expected to survive. this is turning out to be yet another bloody week here in new york city, at least 38 people shot in 27 incidents so far.

early monday morning, a one- year-old baby boy was pronounced dead in the hospital from a shooting sunday night. some other victims from over the weekend as young as 12 and 15 years old. now according to the nypd, the week of july 6-12 shooting incidents surged by 277% compar ed to the same week last year. so why the dramatic spike? new york cities former mayor rudy giuliani says it's because the current mayor bill deblasio disbanned the 600-member anti- crime unit and the nypd. >> that was one of the critical five or six drastic mistakes that deblasio made. that unit i started that unit and the people who straightened out of times square for me are the people that straightened out harlem and their expertise was taking guns from people because gun control was meaningless, right? mad people don't control their guns.

reporter: and that's exactly what i'm hearing from members of the community and community activist on the ground here, dis banding that 600-member unit, emboldened several members of gangs and now what we're watching play out is a gang war. those anti crime unit members were responsible specifically for getting those illegal weapon s off of the streets and with them gone, again, we're watching the game war play out here in new york city. many members on both sides of the aisle now calling for that unit to be reinstated in the nypd. brian: kayla thank you very much appreciate it. we'll check in with you again. meanwhile fox news alert we had a big night in politics last night. newcomer tommy tuberville, the former auburn football coach defeating former attorney general jeff sessions to win alabama's gop senate run off. steve: he's the man of the hour and joining us on the heels of his very busy victory night last night alabama republican senate candidate tommy tuberville. tommy good morning to you.

>> good morning, steve and thank you for pronouncing my name right. you're one of the first ones you and brian, thank you. steve: our pleasure. tommy, you know, the president over the last month or so has endorsed a couple of candidates who did not win in colorado and north carolina so was the pressure on you to win over jeff sessions who the president really does not like because he was the attorney general, recus ed himself and then the whole russia thing happened. >> you know, i felt a little pressure for that because i'm a huge donald trump fan. i think he's done a great job with four or five people he's a quarterback and in the pocket and has people hanging all over him but he's still completing passes, and do you know what? the referendum for donald trump last night in alabama, he is going to take this state overwhelmingly, so anything we can do to help him, this country is in trouble. that's the reason i'm running. i told people a year and a half ago which by the way this is the hardest thing i've tried to do in my life but i'm doing it

for the right reasons, this country is in trouble and we better get control of this country from washington d.c. on down to local government , and that's the reason i'm running. i want to be a part of what's going to happen the next few years when we get president trump re-elected we have to keep the senate. jedediah: important to note we invited opponent doug jones on the program. we have not heard back as of yet so tommy i want to ask, there's a lot of key issues in the country right now the economy in particular, coming off the heels of the coronavirus pandemic which is still in process but a lot of states have been suffering shutdowns and then reopening shutdowns and reopening. what is the key issue that drive s you in this election? >> we got to get jobs back in the state of alabama and all over the country. i've traveled this country for the last 30 years recruiting and going into businesses and schools and going to the rural areas, urban areas. the big thing that we've done is we've sold our country out to china, and foreign countries. we've sent everything out, we

don't have the small manufacturing jobs in this country and the small communities. we got to get those back and give our kids an opportunity to look in a direction of a job and a successful career and raise a family other than look around going what am i going to do? am i going to get on welfare or am i going to work hard to make ends meet in terms of getting that job and work their way up? there's no possible way right now in some of these smaller areas in alabama and even across the country to make ends meet. brian: so there's no doubt about it i don't think mitch mcconnell's majority leader and there's pressure on your shoulders which i'm sure you welcome and there's all talk to georgia's changing not so much that arizona, what about alabama and what is it going to take to beat doug jones? >> well we're totally different he doesn't believe in the values of most people in the state of alabama. he believes in abortion, no guns

, big spending, i mean, he voted to impeach president trump you can't do that in this state. i mean this is the best president we've had in my lifetime that gets things donald he's not listening to the people of alabama. if you're a senator, you represent the people of your state, not your party, and i'm going to represent the people of the state of alabama and they know that. i've been all over it telling them, i'm their voice, and to do that, i've got to get to washington d.c. where i can help senator mcconnell and donald trump get their agenda done. steve: uh-huh so tommy, as you are now going to be the candidate versus doug jones the democrat down there in alabama, for the people who are watching from other state, what does november come down to when you look at joe biden, you know yesterday he was talking about his energy program and things like that. donald trump, however the democrats are trying to say really screwed up the coronavirus federal response when people go into the voting

booth in october, for early voting and november, on that tuesday, what's it all about? what does it come down to? >> well as you just said, steve , the big thing and we hold this , the coronavirus is number one thing on everybody's mind and it should be. it's dangerous. we've got to be able to handle it. president trump has done a good job and he got caught blindsided with no materials to fight back in terms in our hospitals, but we're finding more and more out about this , and he's going to overcome this. president trump is a guy that's going to lead us through this. if we'll just listen of course the left don't want to listen to anything. they are totally opposite of what he wants to do and the other thing obviously, economy. president trump knows he's got to get jobs back and get people jobs, and he's doing that. he's working hard. i mean this guy i told him i was on air force one with him not too long ago and i said mr. president i don't know what you're taking but i want to take it. i want the energy you've got. this guy is unbelievable. brian: let's see if he can get football back in the fall

and practicing in the summer but that's pretty much out of your realm. tommy tuberville congratulations on the big win last night best of luck in november. >> thank you, god bless. brian: meanwhile straight ahead , jed? jedediah: an opinion writer resigns from the new york times because she says she couldn't have a different opinion. our next guest says this exposes just how far the times has gonna stray, but first let's check in with sandra smith for what's coming up at the top of the hour. >> sandra: good morning to you , jedediah great to see you and brian and steve as well. brand new reaction to the president's rose garden speech yesterday attacking joe biden for nearly an hour, plus more violence overnight in u.s. cities across the country, and mike pence insisting schools in louisiana have to reopen in the fall. senator john kennedy was with the vice president in baton rouge yesterday and he will join us live top of the hour. ronna mcdaniel is here, bret baier, morgan ortega from the state department and the police officer who saved a

twitter has become its ultimate editor" goes on to say"stories are chosen and told in a way to satisfy the narrowest of audiences rather than to allow a curious public to read about the world and then draw their own conclusions." here to react, fox news contributor and new york post columnist, michael goodwin, whose been warning us about what's going on over at the new york times for a couple of years michael, you say that this is the ultimate way of her going out with a bang having her resignation posted on her own website. >> yes, good morning, steve. look i think this letter is devastating in all kinds of ways to the times. i mean, the picture she paints of what's going on there is i have to say worse than i suspected, because you have what she describes as bullying and harassment and anti-semitism, attacking her all the time to her face, behind her back, on

the discussion chat rooms. i mean, it's quite striking, and she also describes how the publisher did nothing about it. the top editors did nothing about it but that privately they encouraged her and praised her for her bravery and she said why should it take bravery to come to work in a news room, so i think it is just devastating the picture she paints of the new york times as i write in my column today it's very much the same bully to its own staff as it is to the outside world where it's lecturing and demon izing and demanding that we all agree with the new york times. well that's what they're doing in house as well. steve: the acting editorial page editor of the new york times put out a statement and said we appreciate the many contribution s that barry made went on to say i'm personally committed to ensuring that the times continues to publish voices, experiences and viewpoints from across the political spectrum in the opinion report.

do you believe that? >> no. no, and that's not what they've been doing at all and this editor, who made that statement, is an acting opinion editor. she replaced the man who was fired who dared to publish the tom cotton essay on why he supported president trump's appeal to bring the military into the cities being ravaged by riots for publishing that piece, james bennett was essentially fired because the staff demandey there and barry weiss mentions twitter and it's a reflection of the twitter. steve: michael exit question real quick so when you pick-up the new york times, what should you expect to see? >> well i think you should see the world that they see and

as barry weiss said it's not the world that people live in. it's totally divorced from reality, everything revolves around race and gender and political identity. it's not the world that real people live in. steve: well you got a great op-ed in the new york post everybody go to new yorkpost.com to read it michael goodwin, thank you very much. >> my pleasure, steve thank you steve: we're going to step away more "fox & friends" in just a couple of minutes. maria had to do everything for me.
