the empire state building. jedediah, he did a great job this weekend, katie publishing tomorrow and steve, we have to urge people to set their dvrs and find out how to do it, the instructions are often included. >> user ratchet set when you set your dvr. >> i'm not sure you need that but have it handy. >> sandra: fox news alert, president trump with an intervention to deal with the surging violence in cities across america. several officers coming under attack here in new york city when a protest in terms of violence. good morning everyone, i'm sandra smith. >> john: i'm john roberts in washington today. i'm up demonstration on brooklyn bridge trend likely leaving for officers injured including the chief of the department terrence monahan. the nypd now asking for help to identify suspects and police release new video of one person running from the scene meanwhile president trump announcing plans to crack down his violent

spirals out of control. the president saying he will introduce a federal law enforcement initiative next week. >> president trump: it's out of control, like war zones in chicago. 16 people were shot at 18 died last week. we are not going to put up with that. so that's for our next discussion. >> sandra: now meanwhile a national police group endorsing president trump for reelection. >> john: left to talk about. and it turns out that the president's push to defend the police instead of defunding them has really paid off. with this endorsement, they solidified his stance a as a "law & order" president. in a statement put out just last night announcing the endorsement, the national association of police organizations said our

endorsement recognizes the steadfast and very public support for our men and women on the frontline. and this endorsement because the organization had endorsed obama biden ticket. they do not support this defunding the police but he has said that some funding should be redirected. at the same time you have president trump saying that he's been threatening federal intervention and a democrat run cities where he believes that the spikes and violence have really gotten out of control. he announced in the oval office yesterday that he will be having a big news conference about that next week so, you add that all up, that announcement and the endorsement from the police union and president trump, solidifying his stance as a "law & order" president. >> john: certainly something that the president welcomes but with joe biden leading in the string of new polls, a big

shake-up in his campaign, what's going on? >> this caught a lot of campaign staffers by surprise but it really is something that has been talked about for quite some time. it appears that the final straw for back up our scale was at rally in tulsa, oklahoma, a few weeks ago in which he over promised and under delivered on terminal. now he's going back to what he was doing in 2016 which was overseeing the campaign's digital operation and data collection which is his area of expertise. the deputy campaign manager bill steffy in a onetime political operative is going to step up to the tough job left's then four months before the election. he admits this painful round of new polling showing the president behind in several key swing states and this is a real clear politics average of polls. it has biden up by more than eight points. so the new campaign manager has a big job ahead of him to turn these poll numbers around just four months before election day. >> john: he certainly does.

president trump has a lot of faith in him though. kristin fisher live at the white house. the trump 2020 campaign national press secretary hogan gidley will join us at 9:30 with a campaign shake-up, the latest polls on the trump team strategy going forward in those key battleground states. >> sandra: for more on all that, let's bring in -- on the trump campaign shake-up i should say, dan henning juror, manager of "the wall street journal"'s editorial page and fox news contributor. great start at the show with you this morning. i really want to get to this piece by karl rove because he joined us yesterday. he said it would be coming out this morning and here it is in "the wall street journal." 2020 gives new meaning to viral campaign. the social distancing protect biden from gaps and raise the stakes of the debate. he talks about a completely new landscape for campaigning out there as the trump campaign shakes things up. will we see a shift in strategy?

>> i think we will probably see a shift in strategy for sure. the president has got a 5-10. gap to fill, at least showing up in the polls. that cannot just come out of the trunk base. there was a theory out there for some time that brad parscale would be able to reach untapped members of the white blue-collar class out there that have not voted for donald trump in 2016 and put them across the finish line. the polls show that they simply keep going south among independents and suburban women to the point now where in "the wall street journal" poll, he is down by ten points. so i think brad parscale is just basically the bald guy here. it's inevitable, and it went stops and he will step in there. but make no mistake, the president himself decides which

direction to take his campaign and obviously has some decisions to make about where it should go and what strategy he needs to pursue. and it karl rove's right. in a world of social distancing, simply doing the rallies is not going to work. they have to come up with an alternative to those big rallies. >> sandra: as to what that looks like it, rove writes s. gone are big bus tours and rallies as candidates hopscotch across battleground states. each campaign if it's a wise will plan social media more carefully to set messages for the day and deploy more surrogates to help local television and newspapers. the latter reflects a return to a time before air travel when a party's message was amplified by local voices across the u.s. so you wonder how the trump campaign end of the biden campaign for that matter is going to adapt to that. dan? >> especially with joe biden. i mean the question is, can

joe biden go out in public and walk and chew gum at the same time, as someone said about a former president that remains to be seen. joe biden has his own challenges, make no mistake about it and we are going to find out whether biden can go out there and sustain and articulate campaign. as for president trump, this is a media centric individual and president and he's going to be front and center one way or another. he's not going to be having surrogates running this campaign for him to any great extent. i do think that that mount rushmore speech that he gave just before the fourth of july should be seen as a template. it was a serious substantive speech on the serious subject, american values. and there's no reason why mr. trump cannot do the same thing on the economy and the coronavirus. on the opportunities for the middle class, on an economic agenda, even talking about democratic control of the inner

cities and addressing himself directly to opportunities for minorities living in those inner cities. the president showed that he has a capability and ability to do that, and i think that is pretty much what a lot of these independents are looking for, a president who can articulate a serious and sober agenda for the next four years. >> sandra: we are a world away from election day in the world of politics but biden's campaign put out a statement immediately reacted to the trump campaign shake-up and emotion of brad parscale onset it's not going to work. almost 134,000 americans have lost their lives and a million more loss of jobs because of donald trump's failed leadership. the trump campaign game of musical chairs won't fix it, we need a new president for that. meanwhile here's a "washington post" op-ed on biden's pitch, leaving trump sputtering. here's the words and that piece. if trump wants to make the election about socialism versus capitalism biden makes a very american choice between

community and a radical kind of individualism that leaves many people stranded. biden's model is not karl marx but franklin d. roosevelt. just for the sake of starting off the show here this morning, we will put up that quinnipiac national polling on trump versus biden because here's where things stand. joe biden pulling in that one, 52%, and here's the nbc "wall street journal" shuffle. joe biden pulling 51%, 11 points out of the president at 40% there. but to the news of continued violence in u.s. cities across america, i want to hear stephen miller on this and how the president plans to react. listen. >> president trump announced today, even though these liberal mayors are refusing our request to come into the city is, they are refusing our generous hand offering help. we are going to be making a major announcement next week about how this president will be using the authority of the federal government to come to

the rescue of these long-suffering citizens. >> sandra: sold the trump team inside the white house is ending a federal intervention. is that the answer, dan? >> i'm not sure it is that "the answer." the president says he's going to straighten things out. i'm not sure quite frankly sandra why the white house or the president wants to claim responsibility for the future of new york city or chicago. new york city is being governed by progressives who frankly on the sub will make a subject of civil unrest are hopeless. they really are quite hopeless and will not support the police. having said all that, there probably are some things of the federal government can do. the federal government has a responsibility for intrastate trafficking in drugs, illegal guns and firearms and obviously that is the source of the problem in chicago. many of these problems in the

cities are driven by gains, and i think the federal government both using its intelligence capabilities and its ability to bring prosecution under federal law for violating drug and gun statutes probably can make a contribution but they will need some cooperation from the cities. i don't see them getting it from new york. i think chicago possibly is more sensible on these scores and other cities like st. louis might be willing to, but new york is going to be very, very difficult. if i were donald trump i would be reluctant to take new york as my responsibility. it is really kind of an extraordinarily difficult problem that is taking place up in new york with the mayoralty of bill de blasio. >> sandra: especially with the violent attacks against police here in new york city. dan henning jerry, thanks for your time this morning.

>> john: of fox news alert, coronavirus deaths topping 137,000 in the united states. with three and one half million cases. at the cdc reported 61,000 new cases yesterday, many of them coming from three states, florida, arizona and texas. meanwhile education secretary betsy devos doubling down on the need to reopen schools. >> certainly we all want school to be safe for kids but the reality is, the science tells us that being in school is safe for children. there was just a study that came out from germany on monday that suggests that actually kids might even be stoppers of the virus. >> john: more on this later with pediatric infectious disease specialist. he says it's important to get kids back into classrooms and there is the data to back up that case. sandra, there are a lot of people were now seeing that schools will open five days a

week in some areas. >> sandra: really looking forward to that discussion. meanwhile, twitter investigating a coordinated attack on some very prominent users, the list including former president obama, joe biden and bill bill gates. claudia: is live from san francisco on that story. >> good morning, sandra. this was a bit coin scam that for the hundreds of people and the hackers got away with a lot of money. you mentioned joe biden and barack obama, kanye west and elon musk and jeff bezos were some of the others who were targeted in this hacky sack along with major companies like huber and apple. bogus tweets urged their followers to send a thousand dollars and bit going specific address promising to double the contributions and return and it worked. before the scam was discovered and the tweets were removed, the hackers pulled in more than $100,000. twitter quickly locked down a

number of verified accounts, those are the ones with the blue checks that belong to high-profile celebrities, journalists and politicians and many had to wait for several hours before they could take to twitter again. a statement from twitter support read "we detected what we believe to be a coordinated social engineering attack by people who successfully targeted some of our employees, with access to internal system and tools. it was a huge embarrassment for ceo jack dorsey tweeted "tough day for us at twitter, we all feel terrible this happened. the company says it's looking into this and trying to fix it. no suspects have been identified. >> sandra: okay, claudia cowan live from san francisco on that this morning. john, did you happen to catch any of these as they happened in real time and say, what's happening? >> john: i did not, although i'm disappointed in mine was intact, i feel like i'm a nobody these days. but experts are looking at the same it doesn't look like it was

a state-sponsored thing, it may be north korea or somewhere else or may be more of an individual because it looked like mischief more than any kind of hack to try to disrupt the system. >> sandra: twitter clearly saying this is not a good day for us, i'm sure we will find out more in the coming days. >> john: fox news alert, after another day of clashes between police and protesters in new york city leaves several officers hurt. >> you will be taken for a rest with a charge of disorderly conduct. >> john: chaotic scene in brooklyn as new york city cops are attacked. what does that say about the climate surrounding law enforcement? we will hear from a former nypd detective, coming up next. i got an oriole here.

eh. common bird. ooh look! over here! something much better. there it is. peacock, included with xfinity x1. remarkable.

over this this morning showing one of the officers i was injured, and three of our officers were brutally attacked by protesters today. these are the condition zero officers have to operate every day while they continue to protect your neighborhoods. such assaults are always unacceptable and should outrage us all but one person who didn't appear to be outraged yesterday was an mayor of new york city, bill de blasio. >> not just thinking about in the last few weeks but months and years, the need to do this work in a different fashion. creating more effective prosecutions, working with d.a.'s particularly around the gun violence, more effective gang takedowns and less of a friction with communities. >> john: it's will what do you say to all of this. you have police hit getting hit over the head with canes as i try to and affect the and arrest and a miracle doesn't seem to be

paying attention to what's going on? >> first of all i like to thank the men and women in blue of the nypd who go out there every day and do the right thing to make sure new york city is a safer place to live and put their lives online. this type of behavior is unacceptable. nobody would want that on their worst enemy or their kids. these are the people who go out there and protect life and property so we could go around and i think sometimes when they take the poll, they are talking to the wrong people. they need to talk to the family members who have people who were murdered, people who brought up to, people who were assaulted. look at the data, evidence-based and data driven. we have over 800 shooting victims in new york city. we have over 600 shooting instances and over 200 murdered and the data does not lie. we must pay attention to this. people need to stop monday morning quarterback came on for what police officers do. if you have a problem, don't be part of the problem, be part of the solution. put them inside a car and let

them do some right along so they can calculate the data so they can see it firsthand and see what the men and women in blue go out there and do and put their lives on the line every day to respond to these incidents. when you think about it, we get the call "man with a gun" and we responded. we don't run away, we respond. despite all this chaos that's going on, we are running towards it. it's unheard of to have a 1-year-old to lose their life at such a young age, everybody should be upset about that. everybody should be protesting and marching saying that this type of behavior is unacceptable. we will not have people going around and killing one another. this is unacceptable. all the shootings are not done by the police, it's done by people shooting and killing one another. like i said we are going to have to start raiding neighborhoods. we have to look at these different areas because we need to make the safe. nobody takes a job to get beat up, no matter who you are.

in the statement about talking about taxpaying dollars, police officers pay taxes, too. we don't get tax-exempt checks and therefore we are contributing to because this is the city that we love. this is the city where we go out there and put our lives on the line every day. how many people say they get up and go to work and don't know whether or not they will come home the next day? how many people can say they would get a call, man with a gun, and they are going to run towards it. people have short-term memories, obviously they forgot about 9/11, obviously they forgot about all the murders that cops are selling every day of people's loved ones, being shot or murdered. people need a wake-up call. >> john: all of what you are saying is very valid and we have some video of what was going on there in new york city last year where officers were having buckets of water, sometimes bottles of water thrown at them, just disrespecting police officers who were in the community trying to do their jobs. what we saw yesterday on the

brooklyn bridge with that man hitting the chief of the department, terrence monahan over the head with a cane several times. is that just a natural progression from where we are here in the absence of support from leaders in new york city for the police? >> most definitely. this is the wild, wild west. apparently they are not listening to the black political leaders who are making statements such as, bring back the anti-crime unit. we are against the shooters, we are against the movers. but if you just let it go, what happens is the good people of new york city is, they are being injured. when you start attacking the people who protect you and you do nothing about it, this is why retirements are skyrocketing, officers across the country are leaving because why should they be subjected to this type of abuse when they are going out there protecting lives. >> john: it can police effectively do their jobs in the climate that exists in the

setting? >> not at all. because of the fact that they restrain you from doing anything. remember as i said before, the majority of police officers go 20 years or more without firing their weapons once. the majority of police officers go over 20 years without having any sort of complaint. so with this small percentage that people are upset with but the thing is, good cops are upset about this just like black lives matter. we don't like blac bad cops, bue majority of cops are good. we put our lives on the line daily and this is the type of treatment that we get for putting our lives on the line. look. nobody is perfect, we are a reflection of society. we are your fathers, brothers, sisters, nieces, aunts, uncles and nephews. we are just like you and we should not be subjected to this.

>> john: it's sad that nobody detests a bad cop more than a good comp. thank you for joining us this morning, we will see where this goes. >> sandra: john, a major shift in the race for the white house. the trump campaign replacing brad parscale at the top. are there more changes ahead and what do they mean? trump campaign national secretary hogan gidley will join us on what exactly is happening, and why, just ahead. ever since i got this little guy, i felt like i was just constantly cleaning up his hair. then, i got my paws on the swiffer sweeper. it's a game changer. these heavy duty dry cloths pick up a crazy amount of hair! this is all you. we stopped cleaning and started swiffering.

>> john: fox news alert, texas reporting record high numbers for coronavirus cases and deaths with more than 10,000 new infections there yesterday and 110 fatalities. casey stegall joins us live. >> the first coronavirus death in the state was commit -- in that time, more than 3400 texans have died from covid. more than 282,000 cases have been logged with record numbers and just last weeks. the health data also shows that out of the numbers of tests currently being done, 17% are coming back positives. not only with bed space running tight and certain regions but at times leading to staffing shortages after kurt caregivers

themselves test positive and are taken off the front lines. and that there is that is in addition to the other units individual hospital systems or local governments which have secured on their own. >> so currently the city of san antonio have two of these refrigerator trailers that are operational at this time. each of these trailers can hold between 24 and 36 bodies. there is a staffing complemen ag complement. >> a growing number of fatalities are in nursing homes, 224 in the last month of july.

in the last week more than 1800 new cases have been reported in texas nursing homes and obviously that has a lot of staff members and residents and family members worried as history tells us outbreaks in those places can be difficult to contain. >> john: a setback for texas which was so desperately looking forward to reopening. casey stegall reporting for us. >> sandra: brad parscale is out as president trump campaign manager, the president replacing him among sinking poll numbers. the latest national poll showing a joe biden ahead 57-32. first off, fox news is reporting according to our sources that brad parscale brad parscale wasn't expected to stay on through the election but the staffers inside the campaign were surprised and shocked by this change.

were you? >> i was not. and although the d.c. elite and the establishment and the media really care about this stories like this it does the fact immediate at all. and the only thing that shifted was, brad to me and the guns. >> sandra: right, because our scale is not out altogether, he's been demoted to a different position. >> right. what brad is focusing on is the digital strategy. he has felt something no one thought possible, raising money at clips that are at historic levels. we've raised enough money where joe biden would have to raise more than a million dollars a

day to even come close to catching a scent he still wouldn't do it. and they loved both of them, and both are working toward victory for the american people and that means a victory for donald tru donald trump. >> sandra: jonathan swan at axios is reporting this morning that the president lost confidence in brad parscale after that tulsa debacle. the numbers of people that did not eventually show up, the president wasn't happy with that. are the two connected? >> i'm not aware if they are, but i can tell you that tulsa while the media tries to align the view itself, and people get

in a safe manner, we provide safety when people show up to our events, whether it be the hand sanitizer or temperature checks or providing mass to people. so we are looking forward to getting back to the real issues that matter and whether that be in rallies or online events, we will be successful either way. >> sandra: who is bill stepping in and why did president trump choose him to manage his campaign? >> bill has been a friend of mine for quite some time, very politically savvy and knows the landscape from coast-to-coast. it's very exciting this time in the campaign. both men are great as i mentioned, bill is moving in as the campaign manager and that's a good move. no slight on brad to come is wonderful as well but the fact is the president runs his campaign with 110 days left to go as i mentioned and bill will man the ship and brad will man the guns and we will move

forward together to see the american people continue to succeed. >> sandra: i've got a short time left, a short throw up the strategy and talk about the latest quinnipiac poll. the president has trampled on this portion of the polling floor for quite some time. "wall street journal" on battleground state polling. you look at what is happening there, biden is leading by 12 points 52-40%. this campaign shake-up follows those polls being released. you are saying the two are not connected but what do you do strategywise? what is leadership in your campaign going to do to turn those poll numbers around? >> a couple of things. first of all i wouldn't buy those polls, the first quinnipiac poll had hillary clinton up over 11 in 2016. what do you know, they had joe biden up over 11 now so all the pollsters are using the same methodology and what's worse is,

the media who reports this, the strategists and pundits and poll watchers out there on all these other networks, they know these polls are weighted towards democrats. >> sandra: it will that be a strategy at the campaign? that's a question. >> the strategy goes to the american people and explain how this president has worked to improve their lives. as i mention them your show before, the compare and contrast with donald trump and joe biden is stark. you don't have to guess what america would look like under joe biden, you've seen it. the economy was horrible. city streets are devolving into lawlessness. >> sandra: he's not calling to defund the police. >> he was asked about the funding and he said yes, absolutely. he said police are actually becoming the enemy. so you don't have to guess, your job isn't safe in your american way of life is not safe because policy has waged war on all three.

>> president trump: hogan gidley, we appreciate you coming on. thank you. >> john: at the push to get schools back open getting support from the medical field. one pediatric infectious disease specialist said he would absolutely send his own kids back to class. we will hear from him coming up next. over-the-counter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. ha! these drops probably won't touch me. xiidra works differently, targeting inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. what is that? xiidra, noooo! it can provide lasting relief. xiidra is the only fda approved treatment specifically for the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. one drop in each eye, twice a day. don't use if you're allergic to xiidra. common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort or blurred vision when applied to the eye, and unusual taste sensation.

don't touch container tip to your eye or any surface. after using xiidra, wait 15 minutes before reinserting contacts. got any room in your eye? talk to an eye doctor about twice-daily xiidra. i prefer you didn't! xiidra. not today, dry eye.

anywhere. right now you have people saying we can't get kids back into school safely and where do you stand? >> i firmly believe that schools are essential for the essential and emotional department of children. and that's less likely to transmit. i think they could open school safely when they put together safeguards and mitigation strategies to minimize transmission between adults in the school and between adults and children in school. i'm a strong proponent of opening schools with appropriate safeguards. >> sandra: i will play the sound from dr. atlas who is a doctor of neurology, strongly making the case that kids cannot

transfer the virus. >> this is data, the u.k., australia, canada and ireland. everywhere in the western world has shown that children do not transmit significantly to adults, even their own parents, and the teachers are not at higher risk of getting a disease, like this disease from children. >> sandra: so speak specifically to the science behind us. does the science tell you that kids don't transfer the virus, even if they are walking around asymptomatic either to other kids or to an adult at home? >> i think i would be much more nuanced. it's not that they can't

transmit the virus, at they are less likely to do so. and multiple household contacts studies whether it was done in china or switzerland, they acquire the disease from adults and not from other people, children were not transmitting the disease to adults. dr. ellis is correct that in ireland and australia and other school-based studies, there is very little transmission particularly amongst elementary school children. the norwegian data was clear about that and there was only one potential case in australia. there it's very uncommon that children are transmitting the disease to other children or adults in elementary school systems. we have to be a little bit more cautious about older children such as hig high, high schoolers because there have been occasionally outbreaks in

high school children particularly in jerusalem when they opened up very quickly and did not maintain social distancing a facial coverings throughout the society and in school. so i think we have a little bit of nuance there. >> sandra: so it doesn't make sense to you that some districts in various countrie states acroe country have decided to not have class in classrooms this fall? >> what i hope all school districts do is look at all the epidemiology and i hope we can agree that schools are essential for academic, social and emotional development. can we make schools safer everybody? i think we can do that. there are lots of strategies we can put in place to minimize the risk and again this is most important for the older children and adults coming in. adults always need to be masked, i think that's just such an easy intervention. high schoolers should absolutely be masked and you could also apply that to younger children

even though they don't transmit diseases easily's. easily. we can make sure that we don't have large groups of children and adults congregating together indoors. i think there are other ways to do this. >> sandra: so final question. if it's your child or your niece or your nephew at that age and you are so nervous about transmitting it to grandma or an adult at home, do you still send that kid to school? >> i do. i have nieces and nephews scattered throughout the country. i was asked by my niece jennifer and denver two days ago and i said yes. i feel comfortable and i know with the school system is trying to do there. i have nieces and nephews in the boston area and i say with appropriate mitigation strategies school is the best place for children. >> sandra: dr. ellis that masts are needed for the young school-aged kids, do you agree? >> still in the school age element they's are much, much

less likely to transmit the disease. i think masi essential, critical and the older children but i want to make sure that everyone feels comfortable. i want to make sure that folks don't feel anxious and parents don't feel anxious. so in vermont i actually agree that even though we don't think masking elementary school children will do very much to prevent transmission because i don't transmit very often, we want to make sure that everyone feels comfortable sending their kids to school. >> it's a fascinating conversation and we hope to have this continuing conversation with you and tap into her expertise as we work our way towards the fall. lots of uncertainty over kids getting back. thank you, doctor. >> john: at big cities seeing a surge in violence among calls to defund the police. now some retired police officers want to raise awareness about the positive impact that they have in so many communities. that story is next.

which is your hometown, homicides are off 26% from last year and there are more than 900 shootings. that's a 30% increase over last year and it's taken years of work to reduce crime and a lot of that was done by very good police officers. now we are reversing those gains in a matter of weeks. >> i will tell you why. we have a spineless mare and our d.a. is an absolute fraud. let me tell you a story about our district attorney. under his watch the homicide rate is up 26%, gun-related violence is up 60% and the conviction rate is way down. larry krasner led a violent felon out of prison and afterwards he murdered a citizen in philadelphia. two weeks later, philadelphia served a warrant on his violent felon. he shot through the wall and killed corporal o'connor. as far as i'm concerned he is

complicit in the murder. victims in the path they are prime. >> john: the president is hinting at federal intervention. would you support that and what could the president do on a federal basis to address crime at the local level? >> what he could do on the federal level is something that we will address later on her website but absolutely, something needs to be done in philadelphia. right now we are gotham city without batman and that 68 cities across the country have their own larry krasner's in there as d.a. >> we have an epidemic of of violence erupting across the country. thanks so much. we will be right back, stay with us.

the president's campaign press secretary hogan gidley reacting to the staffing switch saying the campaign is playing to its strengths. >> these moving in, and the president runs his campaign, and bill is going to man the ship and brad will man the guns and we will move forward to get this president reelected. >> john: a peter doocy joins us now with more in washington. just another day. >> bill steffy and has reportedly been working with jared kushner on a pocket-size platform for the g.o.p.'s top priorities could be condensed into something that fits on a note card. within the last decade, even both of chris christie's winning campaigns for new jersey governor and worked as a field

director for trump for more than a year. he does take over as trump trails biden in key national and battleground state polls, so the fighting campaign is not reacting like this. almost 140,000 americans have lost their lives and millions more have lost their jobs because of donald trump's failed leadership. the game of musical chairs will not fix this, we need a new president for that. but this president is trying to projecproject confidence. this one should be a lot easier, the economy is getting better and vaccines and therapeutics will be on the way the campaign shake-up though, the first one in days of social distancing where the venue wasn't as full aas a president is accustomed.

and we just learned none of the conventions next month will be as full as trump it seems to be there. the first three days only delegates can go to the event which is about 2500 people. some alternates can go and that pushes it all the way to just over 6,000 people. >> john: and some of those venues in jacksonville will be outside in august, can't wait for that. >> sandra: and bring the little portable air conditioner. let's bring in our panel, brad blakeman is here and fox news contributor richard fowler, both smiling on this thursday morning. great to see both of you. so braddock, start us off here. there is the campaign shake-up, how do you view it and how should it be viewed and is that a sign that the trump campaign is concerned?

>> brad parscale was spreading himself too thin, and i think having a campaign manager is a smart move. he's a political director at the white house and that is the role. bill will now be the person is managing all the departments of the campaign and brad will be doing what he does best. >> sandra: i don't think you will call it a reallocation of resources as brad data, how do you see it? >> it's good to see you. we are 16 weeks out from this election that what you're seeing in this polling is this. it's a lack of national strategy when it comes to dealing with covid-19. all across the country you are

seeing hot spots and spikes when it comes to folks being infected by this pandemic and the white house doesn't have a strategy. the american people are saying, mr. president, we need a strategy. you can take up your campaign team all you want but until you come up with a national strategy, not only is it affecting donald trump's poll numbers but also affecting what's happening down ballot in senate races all across the country. if you look at the polls today you see that in colorado, cory gardner is down. in arizona, martha mcsally is down seven points and in north carolina, tom tillis is down seven points. all across the map, the republicans are really taking some hits because the president lacked the national strategy when it comes to dealing with this global pandemic. >> i will go to you on this showing joe biden leading by 11

points. when we transition to some of those battleground states, let's first throw out the new paul on pennsylvania. this shows biden leading the president by 13 points there and you tie this to what is happening inside of the campaign with changes being made, shake-up, whatever you want to call it, and this shake-up for changes being made after several new polls show. the president is out there leading, and that is the governors and the mirrors have to care for their own population and use the national government, and that's controlled urban areas. democrats like bill de blasio are letting the populations down and going back to the polling.

if you look back to the last election cycle for president, 2016, these are the same kind of polls that we saw back then. i believe in aesop's fables, the tortoise and hare. and good luck to you. trump is plodding along and knows how to count, knows how to get to the electoral 270, and not the only one that counts. >> perhaps 110 days out, the campaign might be relying on these so-called secret trump voters. i want to put this on the screen and have your react, and this is pennsylvania residents, they are asking, do you think there are so-called secret voters in your community who support donald trump?

57% say yes compared to 35% saying no. do you think there's something going on there and do you read anything into that? >> that's a good question to ask and i think democrats can't take any vote for granted. but last time i checked the state of texas is run by republicans and the fact that there are no icu beds there is problematic, and let me go further here. period what you find out is th this. walmart and kroger and grocery stores have to issue a national mask mandate, that shows there is no national strategy coming from the federal government and that's why voters are needing to look for other alternatives.

and that works well. >> sandra: at the point seems to be you also see the president taking a hit on his handling of the economy was she has always pulled strongly on. now joe biden is leading the president on his or on handling of the economy. so when it comes to the coronavirus, how big of an impact will this have? >> wheat there are three things that will turn this election. it's the economy, covid and "law & order." trump has done fabulously well in the economy based on the tragedy that has beset america. the economy is doing well. look at all the jobs that are being created, look at the

businesses that are opening. covid is a phenomenon, and you try to do the best you can and the president is leading while joe is in the basement. if you are in ohio, these are petri dishes, laboratories of what democrats want to do to the national government. they don't want it. >> sandra: your response to that specifically, today we are reporting on increased violence and major issues across the country. >> if we are judging the president on these points, the president view fails on all three marks. we are rushing to reopen the economy what we have more and more americans losing their lives to covid-19, number one. when it comes to covid-19 we lack a national strategy and when it comes to the president talking about "law & order," he's missing the fact that across the country will have a divided nation because race

relations are worse under this president than any time in modern history and those are the facts. >> sandra: you have the toppling of the christopher columbus statue, are democrats championing this "law & order" message? >> well "law & order," the job of police department's in our country are to protect and serve communities and what black communities have been asking for decades are, are they protecting all communities. any cop car that you see driving your community, literally on the cop car it says to protect and serve. >> absolutely that's their job. but to enforce the law -- >> and many black communities there is an equal and disproportionate level when it comes to how communities are being served and how they are being protected and that is what's been in debate. you have to look at the george

floyd murder. >> all you have to do is look at the inner-city black youths, it's not police that are shooting all these people, it's because that there is no "law & order." the police are being defunded, and it's not a winning strategy. >> sandra: richard, i have to go but final, final. >> listen, i am a black man and america and i can tell you there's a dispersed disproportionate manner of justice across the board. >> john: a fox news alert, protesters in portland setting up their own autonomous area similar to the top stone and follows up weeks of riots in

portland. william la jeunesse is live with us. >> for two nights protesters tried to set up their own sovereign territory inside of portland. the last three hours police cleared them out tearing down tents and barricades that were blocking traffic and this comes as federal agents wednesday is teargas to clear the protesters from the federal courthouse across the street. >> we are trying to tell them we aren't doing anything, we are being peaceful right now and that they just out of nowhere just start shooting at the ground and shooting the pepper rounds, and a whole bunch of gas. >> protesters use plywood and traffic barriers and appliances to turn the city park. they claim federal agents are using excessive force. >> what i have a problem with is leaving the facility and going out onto the streets of the community and then escalating an already intense situation like

they did the other night. >> the mayor says they should be clearing up graffiti and not battling antifa. protesters clash with police using rocks, bottles and a hammer. speak to the left-wing group of people that are running are sitting, because cities are not doing the job they are supposed to be doing and it's not a tough job to do. >> john: mayor wheeler says federal help is not welcome and fails to mention that how two years ago, occupy ice protesters repeatedly attacked agents outside of that building and, which necessitated them calling in homeland security u.s. marshal to provide security in portland. >> john: we will keep watching this to see how long this one goes on. >> sandra: top intelligence officials in the u.k. now

confirming that russian cyber hackers are targeting companies focused on covid vaccine research. that group that is nicknamed dukes operates as part of russian intelligence. right now there's no word on what information they have if any and if it was compromised. >> john: top ranking nypd officials among the officers entered one protest near city hall turned violent yesterday. headache, a former nypd commissioner on how the city should respond. - [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.

james comey and andrew mccabe to testify in front of his committee in september. >> it was not just the knee of officer derek chauvin on george floyd's neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. but it was then the of the entire minneapolis police department on the neck of george floyd that killed him. >> john: and new developments in the george floyd case, the public getting its first look at body cam video from two of the officers charged in his death that could only be viewed at the courthouse by appointment. thias afloyd family files a civ. good morning, mike. >> lots of developments. the city's charter commission met last night to discuss disbanding the police with the public but while that happened,

something remarkable is also developing. crime is flourishing in the twin cities and the way the u.s. attorney out here put it, there is a dramatic spike in god violence or extraordinary spike in gun violence i should say. they're been 27 homicides compared to 15 this time last year in minneapolis. up businesses in the area of the riots a and drugs are unabated, burglaries are on the rise and they want some police. >> it reminds me of gotham city, so i call it the gotham city of minneapolis. >> because of what? >> because of the lawlessness. >> no. say no. because we don't see any police or any security. we feel vulnerable that people can come any time and do whatever we they want because we don't have police protection. >> in the meantime they have

seen the body cam video. it became tense quickly when thomas lane pulls a side and demands to see his hands. floyd becomes more panicked and emotional and cops ask if he's on something. floyd insists he is claustrophobic and can't breathe. he says he's going to die. the long struggle pushes all the way through the police vehicle and on the pay event when police got on top of floyd was already cuffed. officer thomas lane inquires about his breathing and asked about rolling floyd onto his side but was rebuffed by officer derek chauvin. lane checks for floyd's a pulse and says he can't find one and that's before the op ambulance arrived. another development, attorney benjamin crump has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit and the amount is unspecified. the way crump puts it, he wants to set a precedent that makes it financially prohibitive for police to wrongfully kill marginalized people. >> john: a mike tobin for us

in minneapolis. north carolina governor roy cooper announcing plans to send students back to school this fall with some restrictions. the plan is to stagger in person classes and limit the number of children in the school at any given time. joining us now as a superintendent of schools in beaufort county north carolina. it looks like students would attend school every other day or even every other week. do you believe that that is sufficient to educate children? >> we will do the best we can with that opportunity as specifically, we really believe in the relationship between the teachers and the students and we would love to have our kids here five days a week. but we certainly understand under this pandemic on the current conditions, that's going to be really difficult to do. any face-to-face instruction that we can possibly muster at this moment, we think it will be best for our students. >> john: let me ask you why it would be difficult to do.

because we have heard this morning people say that rate of transmission between children or from children to adults is extremely low. our experience in sweden compared to finland is that in sweden, the covid infection rate among students was one-tenth of 1%, and they stayed in school. it was the same rate in finland and they didn't go to school. so it doesn't do science suggest that you could put children back to school five days a week? >> of the science may suggest that and that would be really exciting for us in north carolina, and we want to make sure that people are safe in their environment. i'm not a health care official directly but, even more so, yes. the children are in the building but so are the adults and the adults fall outside of the statistical lines that you are

speaking of and we need to make sure that they are healthy and they are in a good place. >> the secretary of the department of health and human services there say school is critical to a child's education, health, emotional and missing school is actually harmful to children. so the plan as it is now with staggered schooling, is that enough to provide for what the health and human services department secretary is saying is necessary? >> we have some of the greatest teachers and treat, i can't tell you how proud i am of how they handled the spring shut down and we had a lot of learning during

that time just as adults and educators in terms of how best to meet the needs of our children. so we are going to be ready for our kids in any capacity because i believe in the adults that are working with our children whether it's face-to-face or read remote. we have incredible educators and as we said they are the best in the state. i can't define the word enough because students learn at different capacities and gross growth rates but we want to do the best we can that to make sure that our adult employees are ready for a student learners. >> john: at many private and parochial schools who administer themselves on the school by school basis are going back to school in some very popular populated states. why is it that so many parochial schools can do it but public schools can't? >> i don't think that's a question that i can answer. we provide a world-class

education for all public school students and we would love to have students come out of those parochial parochial schools. but specifically again we will provide a great education for our children whether it's face-to-face or remote learning and hope that everyone understands that it's -- we are just hoping it's a short-term issue that we are trying to work through and wait through right now. but we aren't sure about what we are going to do. >> john: clearly a lot of people are hoping it will be short term. let me ask you about the online aspect of this. online learning is fine for older people, university students, probably for high school students. but does online learning work for kids in grades one through six who have a short attention span and don't focus all that well, is it enough for them? >> we should not generalize that young people have short

attention spans, but -- it's big when i have a 9-year-old so i know that. >> i am a dad, to come up with a young student as i said and i can tell you that she can teach me a lot about technology even since she was age four. so what we are hoping is there is a lot of training, a lot of capacity and we are just going to do the best that we can with these opportunities for face-to-face instruction. >> there are a lot of peep parents who want to get their kids back in school but also they want to be safe. thanks for your time. >> sandra: thank you john. people attacking and entering police in new york city yesterday next to former nypd commissioner reacts. >> a lot of this is going to have to do with putting the atf, fbi, dea and the marshall service in these communities to

start taking out the gangs and the guns at cleaning up the communities. so that people can live there safely. available over-the-counter. new voltaren is powerful arthritis pain relief in a gel. voltaren. the joy of movement.

>> sandra: fox news alert from new york city where the chief of police was one of multiple officers hurt when a protest near city hall turned violent. the video showed people attacking cops there including one who slammed a cane into an officer's head.

mr. commissioner, good morning to you and thanks for being here. what did you think when you saw that scene play out? >> it was outrageous. attacking chief terry monahan was a four-star chief in uniform, it's an attack on all of us. it just shows you what these of black lives matter movement people are all about. it's not about peaceful protes protests. and we are still awaiting details about those that they have in custody and what their message was. and it's absolutely brutal to see this. we have the video playing next to you. they were bloodied in this attack. why is this happening? >> it's happening and particularly in new york because mayor de blasio has exceeded

the city to these violent vandals, murderers and protesters. during my tenure we had some significant incidents involving white police officers killing the black individuals and one was terrible and one was a mistake but the fact is i got together with all of the community leaders telling them how we would protest and protect them peacefully, but this mirror is just the opposite. he says they can do whatever they want and all he's interested in is prosecuting police officers. >> sandra: answer the question is what can we do to not only keep people on the streets of the cities and seeing a spike in crime but what can we do to keep our police officer safe as they try to protect us? here's the nypd accountability package, we are looking at banning the nypd use of choke holds and protecting the right of citizens to incorporate police activity, on surveillance

technology. these are just some of the ideas that were passed in this package. does this keep people on the streets safe and does this protect police officers? >> what it's going to do is to return police officers to what they were called. at police officers who are not going to be protected and backed up, and they will retire at 400%, a greater rate than before. that means they will be fewer police officers on the street and the disbandment of the anti-crime unit basically sends a senior, and even if you do get arrested you will get out because of the bail reform act. >> sandra: the nypd was released yesterday. the new york state troopers, the police benevolent association has already come out saying we

removed troopers based on this package. the police officers and trippers cannot be safe with these rules. this poorly conceived bill puts an undue burden on our troopers and opens them up to criminal and civil liability and deck is legal throughout the rest of the state. furthermore this legislation will provide promote troopers safely and effectively arresting resistant suspects. who will fill these permissions, and what happens to the police department? >> no one is looking at becoming a police officer right now, at least not the kind of people he would like to attract to the

police department. we are not looking at what the criminals doing, we are looking at what you are doing. based on the police officers are not going to put their jobs and their families in the future in jeopardy. and the city won't protect them. this is a very sad time in law enforcement. and we saw pro police movements, and it's out of control. >> what changes would you be willing to support? >> well i'm certainly willing to support changes that increase

training, and this is not an epidemic, this is loud voices trying to depolice the police so they can do what they want on the streets and commit criminal activity. >> sandra: we appreciate you coming on this morning, thank you. >> john: president trump now weighing in on the go a boycott fight. what all this means for the country's biggest hispanic owned food company. plus, a reporter in san francisco blasting a citywide program to house the homeless during the pandemic. why she says the plan backfired, the next. >> what people are saying is, it is just so horrible, they walk out and they say i don't want to go back in there. there is no control, it is completely out of control.

>> insider sources are telling me what they are seeing inside of the hotel and it is about as bad as you can imagine, only exponentially worse. you are talking drug-fueled parties, overdoses and deaths, people are being assaulted. there are sexual assaults going on and it's pandemonium. and charles payne is here. it was a fascinating interview with last night. her name is erica sandberg and she's a journalist on the story. utter pandemonium she said to come up this policy has been an absolute disaster, charles. >> it really has been, sandra. and i just can't think that anyone would be surprised by

this. it's sort of -- and i understand they did it under the guise of trying to prevent the spread of covid-19 but i think it was more about out of sight, out of mind. whether in san francisco, los angeles or seattle and these places which have had no policies on it really, really helping those who are drug addicted other than looking the other way. we've seen this giant community, tens of thousands on streets. we'd seen needles on the sidewalks and policies that allow you to take drugs, even inject yourself with a hypodermic needle but you could get in trouble for something a lot less painful to see certainly in society. so i think it's more of a fail for these large progressive cities that have done nothing to economically or socially curb this sort of thing. so for me, yes. you could say they put them in

here because of covid-19 but it's a long string of policies that have actually looked the other way while lives have been destroyed. >> sandra: she went on to describe what she had seen happening there, and she was digging and as there were other various reports emerging as to what was happening inside of these buildings. as you heard it, drug-fueled parties, overdoses and deaths. she said officials are trying to put this band-aid on it, and i know homeless people, and one of the reasons, people don't even like to stay in those homeless shelters are because of these kinds of things. they are worse than prisons, they really are. people go into them and there is no accountability, no one is watching out. people are beaten up, clicks are formed and you check that setting and put them into a nice hotel, forget about it.

and, these are the people that were assigned to work in those hotels. listen. >> the people are designed as disaster workers, these people have been librarians, paper pushers and administrators who are reassigned to these hotels and what they are telling me is beyond the pale. they are not just her horrified but they are traumatized by what they see. >> sandra: we will see where all that goes. what's happening with the goya boycott fight? >> it's been absolutely remarkable. you had the boycott and julian castro and aoc holding that up. it baffles you to think that the largest hispanic business, i had a niece from puerto rico, she

saw one of our clips and she said tell them i said thank you. they love the product and are so proud of the company. let the ceo have an opinion, let them visit the white house and let them talk about the american dream being sustainable and entertain a ball. you talk about hard work, you put them in a box and they may not be in this box of victimless people, victim people and people who are victimized by a system that is so oppressive that they can't make it in this country. goya represents everything that a lot of aggressive politicians tell us is impossible in this country and that's why they hated. >> sandra: all those that joined the boycott goya movement, it wasn't about the food being bad or terrible, it appears how everybody loves it. but, of course he is following his daughter who also posted one

showing the product. there that is. but anyway, we will see where it goes. charles, great to have you. >> john: sandra and charles, great to see you. twitter now investigating a massive security breach that targeted some high profile politicians, ceos and influences. the disturbing question about how secure they is popular securitasocial sites are. to close, twist until it clicks. tide pods child-guard packaging.

carley shimkus from fox news 24/7 has the latest for us. twitter saying about this "we detected what could be a social engineering attack for people who successfully targeted some of our employees for internal systems and tools. >> they said yesterday it's not a good day for twitter and he is right about that. this is one of the biggest attacks of all time and it raises serious security questions. we are talking about a platform that every world leader uses regularly. yesterday hackers started to post something stupid about bitcoin and it was clear that these messages were coming from joe biden or barack obama. but what if there is a next time? the next time includes hiking president trump's account and posting something that sounds legitimate that could move the markets or spark some sort of international situation. it could have been a whole lot worse and the scary thing is, the hackers were in them. they had the power to do that,

they just chose not to. so there are a lot of questions like why, why would they do this? i don't think it was necessarily about bitcoin or even making money, they were just trying to prove a point >> there is the matter of who, and this was the case of a preliminary attack and the next one will be more damaging. in the case of, don't look over there, look over here kind of thing? >> it's also curious to look at the who's who of who they hack hacked. that could be because his account has increased security and it also does raise a question, is it political or could hackers have wanted them to think it's political by hacking everybody but the president, we just don't know

yet. >> senator josh hawley, not representing a coordinated this, a successful attack on your system servers and are there any theories as to whether this was an individual or state run entity? >> it's unclear as of now but this at the anonymous are saying that they worked with twitter, they paid the twitter employee off. >> we will keep watching it. >> sandra: the latest on the debate to reopen our schools this fall. one group putting out a list of demands. a brand-new hour coming up. clean all in one p ad. some companies still have hr stuck between employees and their data.

>> sandra: fox news alert on the battle to get kids back into classrooms this fall, and in one american city the teachers union is throwing down the gauntlet issuing a lift of eye-popping demands. the teachers union setting conditions that go beyond safety. demanding a medicare for all, a new well packed and even defunding the police. there he is john, good morning. >> the union's new list of demands a reading like a manifesto same, the pandemic is pointing out what's wrong with the country. calling our nation profoundly racist and intensely unequal.

they call for massive changes like a trillion dollar haul out from the fed taking a swipe at the u.s. for having so many billionaires. "the wall street journal" describes us as a show union samadhi and as teachers push for only learning the school superintendent says kids need to get back in the classroom and everyone needs to stop playing politics. >> and i think we could all agree on that. >> john: at william la jeunesse's live los angeles for us. it supposed to be about educating our children but it's all about politics now. >> on most of the debate about going back to school, it's the nation's second-largest school district where the teachers union has a 17 page demand list

that is more than providing protective equipment, testing and cleaning. from the federal government, they are asking for the bailout of a half a trillion dollars in medicaid for all and from the state of california they want a new wealth tax on billionaires along with a surtax on those who make more than a million dollars a year. they are requesting a ballot initiative which would increase commercial property taxes at and at the local level, i want to get rid of charter schools and defund school police. >> are you using this moment right now to try to fulfill a liberal wish list and are using this question of school reopening us bargaining the pandemic? >> taking away the school police are my children means it will be more taxing on the counselors? >> they want housing for the

homeless and free testing for all students and anyone in the city who tenant claims to be symptomatic. l.a. usd has more than 7,000 students the union calls vulnerable because of structural racism. 73% latino and 100,000 require english learning. students are scheduled to begin, john, classes online learning only on august 18th and as conditions change officials say they would consider returning to class but that would be impossible considering this list of demands. more on this? let's bring on dana perino. the last thing we all want to think, as parents and americans, that politics are at play with sending our kids back to school or not sending them back to

school this fall. so what is happening here? >> with all things including mask wearing immediately every issue has to come back down to politics. i think what you're seeing here and now is the far left leaders of the teachers union is not representing the teachers very well. i'm sure that you have talked to your kids as teachers and the teachers that i know, they all want to get back in the classroom. they want to be with the kids, that's why they got into this business in the first place. but when you have the teacher unions pushing for a major money grab and power grab and not being reasonable, it makes everything feel just a lot worse. one thing i think that is to be kept in mind, about just how much private schools are different from public schools were so many reasons. one, they have a lot more money usually. number two as this report shows it looks like a lot more private schools are going to be open with in person classrooms this

fall but that's partly because they are able to have smaller classrooms and can social distance. the other thing is i think the republicans will be in a little bit of a fix. they will have to do another bill, the democrats know it and they will have t to to deliver something to president trump. you will see more money for schools in this bill and it may be more targeted for technology, but there will be more money for schools no doubt about it. >> the l.a. teachers are laying down their terms and it we are getting into the idea that they don't want to return to work. either way, it's how far left of the nations public unions have you used.

still self-serving guilt but also a political vanguard. so there that dump their money and lose another year of learning. they are getting kids back to school and you are talking to people on your show every day, what are you hearing? >> it's extreme frustration of everything becoming political. we want to get the economy back, but we can't get people back to work full-time. there's not enough child care options and it's exceedingly complex. i also don't like -- i heard from a friend who said this is teachers who just don't want to work. i don't think that's true, either. a lot of these local districts and states haven't been given the opportunity to bring in a lot of tax revenue.

it's exceedingly complex, and luckily we have those made out of a local level. >> dana perino if you could just stand by for us for a moment. it's great to see you. major change with only 109 years ago, he is demoting his longtime campaign met manager brad parscale. kristin fisher is live at the white house with an update on that. >> this shake-up has been talked about for quite some time. the final straw turned out to be combined with these troubling trends in polling but the timing of last night announcement made by the president himself caught a lot of staffers by the surprise. bill sabean is as a long-time operative, and had been serving as the deputy campaign manager.

which is overseeing the campaign's digital operation and collection. the campaign secretary blamed the like this. >> the only thing that shifted was, donald trump asked bill to steer the ship and brad tim and the guns. >> replacing your campaign manager less than four months before an election is never a great sign. then candidate trump is, so sandra while the same logic that doesn't necessarily apply. kristin fisher at the white house. >> for more on the trump campaign shake-up, let's bring back in dana perino anchor on "the daily briefing. let's put up his pedigree.

he worked as chris christie's campaign manager, and although christie later fired him and that the bridge gate scandal. he also served as field director for giuliani and worked on john mccain's presidential campaign that same year. does he have the horsepower do you think to take over the trump campaign? >> a couple of things, when he is a very smart person. it's interesting to me, obviously has been involved and that you had brad parscale, a kind of more in line with what president trump was like in 2016. but maybe they realize that 2020 is a different breed of cat. you have a situation where things look bleak right now, they don't admit it in public but they tell you behind-the-scenes, they had to make a change and i think it's

admirable that brad parscale was willing to say, i got it. he had them really pretty well set up, and president trump seems to be at his best politically when things look most bleak. and, joe biden replaced his campaign manager twice. let's take a look at the polls here that suggests what kind of shape they were in nationally. that's an increase from 49-41 back in june and in pennsylvania, biden leads 53-40.

>> there's still time to define biden on some of the issues, and that this week the president biden gave a speech about energy policy and climate change. so there are his time still to define biden on that issue because he has continued to move further left for those of voters and pennsylvania. i think the change in the campaign and all of these numbers being consistent, you can't find enough secret trump voters to make up for that deficit so they got some work to do there's plenty of time to do it. >> that same monmouth pole, 57% of voters in pennsylvania believe that there is some secret trump vote out there that could pull them through in the 11th hour. we were told, we are called up for hillary clinton and that never happened. so could there be enough secret trump voters in the battleground

states to take them across the finish line? >> it could be that, that's the acceptable thing to do. it could go the other way. and there might be new voters, the rnc has apparently done a pretty good job of registering new voters and that was very key in 2004. the dnc can't get out there as much especially during a pandemic. there might be a secret trump out there, and the campaign shows that they need to do more to rely on secret trump voters if they to win. >> john: all right, dana perino, always good to see you. >> sandra: the investigation into a gruesome murder and a

millionaire tech ceo found dismembered in his own home. how the killer was almost caught in the act and how police say whoever did it was appropriate plus protesters attacking nypd officers including the chief of the department as a law enforcement comes under attack across the country. what is being done to stop the violence? a new york sheriff will join us next. >> i talked to terry monahan after i heard he was there and thank god he is okay. but it's not acceptable. anyone who does that suffers the consequences. ta-da!

did you know liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need? given my unique lifestyle, that'd be perfect! let me grab a pen and some paper. know what? i'm gonna switch now. just need my desk... my chair... and my phone. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

no more heebie jeebies. glad i stopped cleaning and started swiffering.

>> john: updating a twisted murder case that we told you about yesterday, the color of a millionaire tech ceo was almost caught in the act. someone dropped by when he was chopping up the body. the victim's sister rang the buzzer to his manhattan high-rise sending the killer running out a back door. the victim's name is fahim soleil. police say surveillance video shows him in the same elevator as his killer who war in all-black suit and black ninja mask. as soon the doors opened on his

floor of the killer struck, popping him with a stun gun and stabbing him. it looks like a professional job because a gruesome scene was so clean. hardly any blood found around the dismembered body. police tell the posts that they are investigating whether that business dealings were involved. this company suffered aerobic recent setback and he was being sued but still the young entrepreneur was optimistic until the end. tweeting just last month, i have a very good feeling about 2020. >> sandra: at the city of berkeley, california, taking a step to get rid of police when it comes to traffic stops. >> you see racial disparity, and they are especially bad in berkeley in terms of the stops of blacks and individuals.

>> sandra: the move forward wednesday, police conducting traffic stops and instead i'm using unarmed civilian city workers. >> john: a brutal attack targeting new york city police leaving for officers injured. the highest ranking officer of the department head over the head during a protest on the brooklyn bridge. the nypd releasing video of that suspect later hopping a fence and running towards city hall where i and two other suspects are now in custody charged with attacking the officers. laura ingle's has more on this. >> good morning. while there have been multiple arrests over that incident on the brooklyn bridge brooklyn bridge, nypd telling us today that they are still looking for the main suspect who was seen going over the fence with what they call a broom handle and one of the more

vicious parts of that broom handle. on top of that there was violence elsewhere in new york city with multiple shootings overnight. we are focusing on what happened on the brooklyn bridge and trying to get that word out and get that image out as well. we got video that for officers were attacked in a confrontation with protesters on the brooklyn bridge including as you mentioned with the chief of department terrence monahan. the nypd highest ranking in the form officer with the nypd and this all happened just a few feet away from an antiviolence group march led by local clergy who was calling for peace. the chief of department terrence monahan speaking about that this morning. >> i was able to reach over the fence and grabbed him and then he turns around and starts throwing punches at me.

and, they let him exercise a right to protest. >> as police were arresting us, they didn't let that other protest again until we felt like they were all arrested on the side of. >> mayor de blasio is condemning the violence against police yesterday. the police have seen 42 shootings in the city with more victims. they want a lot of things going on there in the big apple that are very concerned for people

across the country. laura ingle for us this morning, thanks. >> sandra: for more on this richard giordano, the sheriff in new york. we see video like that happening on the bridge. these police getting attacked violently. >> i think the attack on police is that of society. we have a lot of issues going on right now, the divide in the country as a way just it's ever been in the deepest it's ever been between law enforcement and civilized society and those people who seek to do this. we know under the first amendment that everyone has a right to peaceable assembly. irony is that this protest started out as a unity protest with members of the clergy, law enforcement and community leaders trying to unify people which was going on all over the

country for a variety of reasons. we seen individuals taking advantage of the peaceable protest and they are the losers and the rioters, it doesn't matter what color they are. when yo you and start beating people over the head with clubs, they are criminals. they don't follow the rules. >> sandra: mayor de blasio has been highly criticized with his handful of increasing violence in the city. here he is today condemning that violent attack. listen. >> peaceful protest is honored in new york city and always has been. any violent protests will be stopped and they will be consequences for anyone involv involved. and it's hard to come up with the consequences.

it also means we cannot accept violence against our police officers. his critics say he is not doing enough to stop this. how do you do this if you don't even know exactly what's behind it? >> i think there is a lot behind it. what we see is the cross, and we have a number of events all coinciding. in four months we had the 20th century plague of 1819, and what is going on is a responsible elected officials and government officials have not been supporting "law & order." it's great for the protesters,

and we have the protesters, they were looting and robbing, we had two precincts, one in seattle and one in minneapolis turned over to rioters. minneapolis gave a precinct over because civilians told him to do that. that undercuts the authority of law enforcement and some of the laws they are trying to pass, restricting what methods can be used by law enforcement, and choke holds. everyone condemned the minneapolis police officer in they should have, i condemned him. but what's gone across this country is, this is an excuse for some people to change and defund the police. and also it's an excuse to take away our authority. and if there's no consequences, i will give you an example. in new york under resisting arrest which is a misdemeanor there is no cash bail. we know that the eighth amendment says you can set bail to ensure return.

there's nothing about cash bail. it's making it increasingly difficult for we and law enforcement to enforce the law. >> sandra: sheriff, anecdotally what is this doing to the morale of your colleagu colleagues, the officers that you serve with? i think that you've seen in the number of retirements of nypd and other agencies, we are seeing officers calling us from cities around our upstate, that haven't protested in the riots. we are seeing protest, police officers retiring early and now they are trying to pass legislation to mandate liability insurance and take away immunity for doing their job. it's going to lead to a situation where we have less and less interested people in being police officers that will reduce our pool of people to choose from. very divisive what some of these people are doing, using protes

protests. legitimately. we have to do better as law enforcement and educate the public and we are being attacked from all sides. law enforcement has hundreds of millions of contact with individuals, from dog barking cases to murders to sex abuse, burglars and traffic stops and the number of incidents that go sideways is very rare and very small. if you want to go on its discuss a little bit about race relations, they all coincide because it's so important that we be able to have an honest discussion about racism in this country and we have not had a discussion. >> sandra: i would love to have you back to continue this conversation. thank you for serving. >> i want to say one last thing. when people call 911 they want police to respond. the law enforcement in this country responds.

and by the same token, you think somebody begging us to come to their house and help them because her boyfriend is breaking in the door because somebody has been attacked, they don't care what color the police officer is, they don't care what religion, or what our politics are, we will continue to do our job. >> the historic move that investment officials are making after apologizing for the state's role in slavery. coming up next.

>> sandra: is from asheville, north carolina, while voting unanimously granting a form of reparations. >> in my mind at this resolution is the first step in that it makes a vast list of historical wrongs that have been perpetuated against the black community up to this very day. >> what we are looking at doing is using the power of governme government. what we can do is create policies, programs, we can fund things, we can create structures and systems. >> sandra: at the reparations will not be direct cash payments but will instead put money towards housing, health care and career growth in black

neighborhoods. >> john: drug overdose deaths hitting a direct high-end 2019, a major blow for advocates who spent billions of dollars trying to turn the tide. preliminary cdc data showing more than 70,000 deaths last year, 3,000 more than the previous year. south dakota had a 54% increase in overdose deaths by far, the most of any state. analysts expect a pandemic will drive the number up even more. >> sandra: now to this fox news alert, walmart and kroger will now require shoppers wear face coverings. but in georgia the governor there is forbidding cities and counties from mask mandates. he says he feels fine but a little achy. as florida reaches a troubling milestone. phil keating is live in hard-hit south florida. >> another sunny day in florida

and another covid-19 record. new numbers just released by the state health departments, all hundred 56 fatalities added which is nearly 14,000 positive cases which is the second highest since this all began. the school superintendent says of these numbers do not start flattening, and if the situation stays this dire all the way to august 2,021st it will not be safe to have children and teachers returning to schools like this high school. that's also true, that case for florida's second-largest school district. so if infection rates don't start dropping significantly parents, teachers and children can expect to be teaching and learning alignment schools are so resuming.

>> it is not acceptable for schools not to reopen. education is an essential function and schools are essential, teachers are essential and kids have got to get back in school. >> with wait times for covid-19 test results sometimes taking as long as a week or longer which defeat the entire purpose of trying to prevent the spread, florida's governor says slow turnaround labs are going to lose out or improve. >> those who can produce are going to get more of the business and i think that's the best way to go about it. >> miami-dade hospitals now report their traditional icu units and beds are fully occupied so the hospitals are now converting other beds and rooms to handle anymore possible surge of covid-19 patients. the key biscayne police chief has announced that he has coronavirus as well and the former broward county sheriff scott israel is

accountable. general jack keane is a retired four-star general, and fox news senior strategic analyst. what price might china pay? there is talk that the white house may implement travel restrictions for members of the chinese communist party but that also seems to be tied to china's treatment of the uighurs on what's going on in hong kong and not just coronavirus. what might be from china over this whole thing? >> there will be some retribution for the pandemic and the fact that the outcry around the world certainly is what we have all seen the come of the deception about the origins of the pandemic. and, and significantly the

united states. so retribution is there, sanctions are there and what is changing here is the broad coalition developing the world, that is becoming anti-china. it gives the united states a huge strategic opportunity with our partners and allies to develop a grand strategy to confront china and contain their malign and aggressive behavior. it's not just about the pandemic but it certainly is the catalyst for bringing the coalition together that secretary secretary pompeo is bringing together. >> so how china is viewed around

the world, and that's what we are kind of doing any kind of business with. we just said that's not going to use any waterway products in the core of its 5g system so that is really shutting out china. at least in the u.k. they wanted to run the world table in terms of owning 5g and which means owning most of the telecom systems in the world it would be absolutely destructive to us. in terms of intellectual property and also our allies.

these countries are not pulling away from waterway running 5g for them if it was not from this malign and aggressive behavior with president xi dealing with the pandemic. i believe history will show us that president xi has been the most aggressive and the most ambitious and the most malign leaders and i think we are going to see that he overreached. he put the ccp on a fast track to achieve china's stream which is domination control of the asia pacific and placing the united states is the world's a global leader. he thought that he could achieve that within the next five or six years and this is blowing up in his face as a result of his aggressive behavior. >> john: and now the united states is saying that it they will stand with the sovereignty which has been

affronted by china's nations like vietnam, philippines, malaysia and others. general jack keane, always good to see you on this thursday morning. >> great talking to you. >> sandra: the family of a murdered fort hood soldier taking their questions to the top. why they are meeting with president trump, next.

natalie coulomb is the attorney for vanessa guillen's family and she joins us now. what questions will the family have when they meet with the president at the white house? >> i think one of the questions we all have us what happened and how did this happen and what kind of securities are we willing to do for all of our soldiers, especially the ones in fort hood who are really afraid of the fact that there are no security cameras there available for them and there are all these coverups that are occurring he here. no one is giving anyone true answers, correct answers or accurate answers. we are all just really dumbfounded, how this happened to a soldier on a u.s. base. >> sandra: we understand that the president's chief of staff mark meadows what reach out to you to invite the family to come but first, i want to say thank you for what you are doing
