instagram, bridger amazing work protecting your little sister you are a true hero. how about that for a story look at that little boy's face. just awful. rob: i hope he heals up. that's it for us. we will see you later. ♪ ♪ ♪ friday i'm in love. brian: welcome to the end of another week. and there wasn't much news going on. sear about that between the pandemic, the election, the civil unrest from coast to coast. really not much to cover. oh, did i mention that united states pavlich is in the center square today? katie, you are playing for ainsley and you also are fresh off an interview with the president. and steve doocy you are going to be playing yourself throughout the show, right?

steve: i try to every day. katie, good to have you. good morning to you. katie: thanks for having me. i'm glad to be back on the virtual vouch. steve: brian and i are sitting 20 feet next to each other if he gets angry he can throw one of the rockets of a ratchet set my way which was a continuing subject of topic yesterday as we wrap up the week. tgif thank goodness it's fox. brian: i have a nerf rifle. so glad you are with us today. katie: thanks. brian: again with a fox news alert. the man accused 6 punching terrence monahan and two other cops back on the streets without bail. i'm not kidding. campbell accused of attacking the highest ranking uniformed officer. why? do we know that? it was on tape. brooklyn bridge march a peaceful protest and it spiraled out of

control, katie. katie: during that chaos another cop has hit in the face with something similar to brass nic u. number kels. monahan says he is doing well. his officers are not. >> morale has probably been as low as it's been in a long time. it is important that we as an agency tell them how much we appreciate them. steve: meanwhile, police also under attack in the state of florida where a police officer is hospitalized this morning in serious condition after he was beaten unconscious. responding to a call atlantic beach panera bread at 5:00 in the morning. police were called. he went over. eventually he was knocked unconscious. responding officer came as well. a shot was fired by a responding police officer at the suspect as he reached for that officer's gun. and it is a very unfortunate the officer shot. the chief of police down there

does expect him to survive but could have extensive recovery due to the injury. the suspect is in his 20's and the officer, brian, has been on the force in that area for, i think, 30 years. brian: the disrespect the police officers are getting all of a sudden from sea to shining sea in america is mind boggling. unacceptable. scary for civil society. and the fact that i'm seeing this story that crossed yesterday in the afternoon, knowing that it happened early in the morning shows you if you are a police officer and did you go to the simplest -- stop. you get a call to go to a panera bread where you have to go to the counter to order food and another counter to wait for food that ends up trouble. you wonder the geniuses behind police reform katie in stops like that, why send a cop with a gun when you could send a social worker with a college background

to handle something as benign as that? katie: brian, on that point, you know, there is no deterrence for these criminals now against police officers. you don't think that they are going to have any kind of disrespect for a social worker who comes in with no kind of armed definition or anything? i mean, the idea that this is ever going to end at some point, there is no end in sight considering that you can be on tape attacking one of the highest level police officers in new york city, be released without bail and continue this violence in the streets. i mean, it's just unending issue and law and order has completely broken down because the leaders in these places refuse to back -- keeping these criminals behind bars. steve: why don't we protect our police by simply making it a crime where you don't immediately gte released if you attack a cop? it just flying in the face of

logic. those men and women who are wearing those face shields and protective garb trying to take on what the chief said was some anarchists as well that had had infiltrated this particular peaceful protest, the chief said that two of the people who were arrested yesterday are part of. anna: arckist group which infiltrated black lives matter since the beginning and this group of anarchists are the ones are the ones attacking our officers hiding out behind peaceful protesters. they attack cops and what happens? revolving door back out on the street. brian: there is video of a car pulling up, the trunk opening up and out come the bats. how familiar does that look? out come the broiks whe bricks e to the looting. they have radios. they are out there having radios. they are outmaneuvering the police.

they have tactics. these aren't emotional riots done by people who are tired of the oppressive culture and want racial equity. these are people who don't like the country and want to destroy it. sorry about that. go ahead. steve: no, no, no. absolutely right. and you look at ever since george floyd was killed seven weesks ago, there have been protests all across the country. and we get that but, unfortunately, there have been bad actors who are infiltrated it and hijacked their message the. out in portland, oregon, same thing. they have been having protests out there for seven weeks. a couple of weeks ago the department of home land security sent in the u.s. marshals and the federal protective services. u.s. customs to stop the violence in that area and protect the federal buildings. and last night at about 10:00, police announced that they heard people were chanting "we want to burn down the building." so they told the protesters to leave. they didn't. things got out of hand later as

you can see the feds used gas and smoke to get the protesters away from the two federal buildings. wheeler, the mayor of portland, said because chad wolf, the acting secretary of the department of homeland security said, you know we're willing to help, and what did the mayor say? the best thing they, the federal government can do, is to stay inside their building or leave portland all together. our goal is to end these violent demonstrations quickly and safely and in the meantime i asked him to clean up the graffiti on local federal facilities. so, in other words, katie, you have the federal government offering to help get rid of the bad actors and the trouble there in fact, they said up an autonomous zone of their own that finally got cleared out yesterday. but, all the mayor can say is you know what? stay in your building, as if they were in another country, and get rid of the graffiti.

katie: the mayor's goal is to stop the violence quickly as he claims he is doing a very poor job at that there is a huge contrast here between what these local leaders and these democrat run cities have not been doing and what the federal government has been doing. doj just this week charged and arrested three more people for setting fire to a police precinct in seattle. they have arrested hundreds of these types of anarchists. they are handing down federal charges with minimum sentences of five years or more in federal prison. they are the ones trying to quell the violence in the streets against businesses, regular people, and, of course, against police officers and law enforcement. but these local leaders claim they want to stop the violence. they are not doing anything to do that. brian: not at all. this all started on the 29th of may they began to riot and anarchists began to show up. destroying property, rip down a fence. the crowds began to grow. they also did something else interesting. they got a laser and started shooting the laser trying to

damage the eyes of the police officers. they have 400 people showing up with weapons. sophisticated weapons. when the feds show up over the weekend one got hematocrit with a 2 by 4 at the same time. every night they show up and the graffiti federal buildings. what do you want the federal government to do? just sit there? here is chad wolf the acting dhs secretary. >> continue to offer that support, specifically here in portland. wanting to make sure that they have enough assets whether it's personal and capabilities, that was my direct ask and offer to the mayor. and, again, the only response was please pack up and go home. i asked the mayor and i asked others what do you think is going to occur? we are going to have a court hours and federal facilities overrun again by violent anarchists. what i'm asking all state and local leaders here in portland, in oregon is come out specifically and publicly condemn these violent anarchists. because otherwise you are creating an environment, you are

fostering an environment that continues to breed this type of lawlessness. brian: remember. it was the smug liberal mayor from seattle that said it was going to be the summer of love. not until they unwent out and found out her home address and rioter fers went to his or her outside, oops, we better stop this. so this mayor is not feeling the tumult that the people of portland are feeling. the federal government is making the offer. do you know what the problem is? it happens to be a republican federal government three months before an election. they would rather worry about politics than sanity in a city. steve: well, you know, she, the mayor out there, gave them an inch and they took a foot -- took a mile more than a foot. katie: couple miles. steve: people were killed. at least one person was killed and couple people were shot as well. that is the background that is going on right now in the run-up to the election on the first tuesday in november.

and yesterday we started this program by telling you about how the national association of police organizations had endorsed president trump over joe biden. keep in mind, it was twice that they endorsed obama-biden in 2016 and 2012 -- or rather in 2016 they chose not to. but they decided to go with donald trump. because he has made it very clear he's on the side of law enforcement. now, here's the thing. joe biden, where is he exactly when it comes to defunding the police because some people are saying defund the police. very famously he said when asked do you think that they should take money away from the police department in the form ever redirecting it and he was very clear he said absolutely yes. but, nonetheless, the democrats have a mess on their hands with that so their surrogates have been out trying to clean up the mess. here is the dnc communications

director on that yesterday right here on the channel. >> let me be very clear about this, joe biden does not support defunding the police. and, specifically, what essaying is he wants to make sure that police departments have the tools that they need in order to do their jobs. steve: okay. that's what she said yesterday with bill hemmer but the vice president was very clear when he said this, which sure sounds like defunding the police. because redirecting money is defunding. >> surplus military equipment for law enforcement, they don't need that the last thing you need is an uparmoured humvee coming into a neighborhood like the military invading. they don't nobody. supposed to be protecting these people. >> but do we agree we can redirect some of the funding? >> yes, absolutely. steve: redirecting the founding is taking money away from the

police. and at the top of that soundbite, katie, he was talking about the surplus in military equipment. they don't need that. actually, the fellow from the organization that endorsed president trump yesterday said, look, that is very helpful stuff. you know, we don't think of it that way. we think of it as rescue vehicles. they have been used time and time again these armored up vehicles like the humvee. katie: it's not very legitimate argument to make when there are riots happening across the country and tons of vandalism being conducted and police need that equipment to fight back against it and joe biden's problem is not just that he essentially called police coming into communities the enemy. they have become the enemy of the people there but he also can't explain what his plan is to combat violent crime. you will remember when he came out and gave that first press conference, so to speak, when he was still in his basement for months, he didn't condemn any of the rioting that had been happening in our cities.

steve: right. katie: that's the bigger question for joe biden is what is your plan to stop this violence in cities across the country and would you offer some kind of federal help to these democratic leaders like president trump has or do you think that they should be on their own and allow this to continue? brian: here's the thing. hills silence is compliance with the anarchists. for example, famously the speaker was asked hey they are tearing down saints ulysses s. grant and lincoln in your city. i can't be bothered with a statue i have a pandemic to handle. by him saying i'm not for defunding the police, that is not enough. the anarchy should be alarming. he has an opportunity to show how he would lead, instead he sits in his basement and knuckles under. larry hogan big critic of the president often a republican said that military equipment helped suppressed the riots in baltimore. steve: go ahead. brian: go ahead and sideline it because you don't have to stop

it. other big story we are talking about the other big story that we are talking about is who is this joe biden guy? the joe biden from the 1990s tough on crime? the joe biden who is with president obama or the joe biden it seems suddenly to get union workers scared and shocked and scared in pennsylvania? the joe biden suddenly is mr. green and worrying about people fracking in ohio and pennsylvania as well. and what donald trump has to do, katie, he has to find a way to let people know what joe biden will do as president and has to find a way to define him while being president. katie: you had the trump campaign come out this week they will define him as they see him far left radical controlled by people behind him. at the white house to interview president trump he talked about the economy and a lot of his

positions that have changed. take a listen. >> we're going to win the election. when you look at joe, he doesn't know what he is doing. everything knows it. he has been doing this for 47 years. now all of a sudden he turned green. he has become a greeny. and he is going to have all our businesses within a short period of time working off of a win. we'll close up 90% of the factories in our country if they do that texas will be out of business. we will lose 10 million energy jobs. it's the craziest thing i ever heard. katie: so the president is talking there about this being personal for a number of families and individuals who work in these industries and yesterday, of course, the white house had an event where the talking about all of the deregulation they have seen over the past couple of months and how that will put thousands of dollars back in the pockets of working americans. made the point that joe biden will put those regulations back in place which will cost not just jobs but lots of energy consumption as well. steve: and so it begins.

all right, katie, great intriewvment more on that a little later on. >> katie: thank you. steve: 6:16 on this friday morning and here is jillian with news. jillian: fox news alert. shattered daily record in covid-19 overnight. more than 77,000 new cases reported thursday. that's 10,000 more cases than the previous record. 969 deaths were reported. the largest spike in over a month. that grim milestone comes as georgia governor brian kemp sues atlanta's mayor for enforcing face masks in public places it. challenges kemp's executive order that bans city leaders from requiring masks. in illinois, governor jamie police kerpritzker. vow agriculture change after a stunning report about sexual harassment. 15 moraler female employees telling "the washington post" they were harassed and verbally abused by team beingsives.

reform into law. the head of the police union now demanding state troopers be removed from their stations and cease operations throughout the five burrows immediately. pbs president joins us now. what's the big problem with this reform that has you alarmed? >> good morning. it's an honor to be here. what has me alarmed is that troopers that are trained in certain tactics to arrest violent people can now be arrested for using those tactics within the five counties in new york city. yet those tactics are still legal in the other 57 counties in new york state. brian: you don't have immunity anymore? >> they just upped the ante in new york city and made it extremely tough to arrest a violent person. again, this is only a handful of people that are very violent when you arrest them. but, by raising the bar and almost making it impossible for my members to safely arrest

somebody you are setting my people four failure i want them out. brian: you have state troopers ride the trains. on bridges and airports. now the new nypd accountability package includes ban the use of chokeholds, protect new yorkers rights to record police officers, greater transparency with the use of surveillance technology and insure officer's bank and badge number is visible and establish police disciplinary matrix. who would actually do that evaluation of whether police were wrong or right? boils down to the lawmakers making more and more laws that can handcuff police officers from doing their job. it's almost impossible. and what wire talking about. we are not talking about a chokehold or anything else. it's any pressure on the diaphragm. and when you arrest a violent person and rolling around on the ground with them it's inevitable

that these tactics might come into play. the same as a high school wrestling match. the same tactic. in the end, my troopers can be held criminally liable or civilly liable for the way they are trained and acting the way they are trained. brian: your move is to talk to your superintendent. your superintendent has got to talk to the governor. what if they don't resolve this? are you going to recommend pulling the 200 out? >> well, i am recommending pulling them out and i will take the case directly to the governor if need be. but my first step was go to my superintendent who is a very good leader and, you know, i have a good relationship with him and we will go from there. but, you know, i find it -- it's unbelievable where one of my troopers can pursue somebody down the new york state throughway and that car could stop on the border one arrest tactics used at the bumper of that car if the person is out and acting violently and another set of rules on the other bumper of the car depending where you

are in the city border. you can't have two sets of rules in the a state. brian: can't hold them in jail when think attack a cop and now worry about being sued when you protect us. why would anyone put on this uniform? they are basically saying we do not want effective policing. and that's not okay with the people in this city. i can't see anyone democrat or republican. tom, thanks for speaking out and telling your story and trying to get ahead of this before it's too late. >> it's an honorable. thank you for having me on. brian: you got it. we reached out to mayor de blasio for a statement. we haven't heard back yet. he doesn't get up usually about about 10:00. as sports league fighting way back help ensure hel help stop e spread of covid-19. he joins us next. ♪ ♪

>> we will have removed gigantic regulatory burden americans have been forced to carry for decades, reach our highest potential. the historic regulatory relief is providing the average american household an extra $3,100 every single year. brian: president trump touting administration's ongoing effort to slash restrictions on american families and small businesses. so, how does this take the strain off your wallet? >> joining us now to break it down host of making money charles payne. charles, good to see you. >> good morning.

yeah. i have got to tell you. it's almost common sense if you think about it, the more hurdles that you layer on a society the more difficult it's going to be to achieve success. and the most important thing about these regulations that everyone watching should know is that they hurt lower income households more than anyone else. particularly if you don't want to be a lower income household or if you want to start a business. you have got to hire more lawyers. more architect, more accountants. have you got to pay more fees. it's just absolutely ridiculous. and then, job creation. in the 1950s, one in 20 jobs required a lance. now it's almost one out of two. so, just think about that. do you need a license to be a funeral attendant? should you need a license to a polster -- reup holste reapologh or sofa. there has been a lot of work done by the way, folks.

one report i read that showed that overall the cost is $2 trillion or more. if the regulations had held where they were in 1980, it would equal an extra $13,000 per household in this country. yeah. we want smart regulations but what's happened is these are just guides for governments to fill their coffers and does nothing but let the rich get richer. that's ironic because the plifertions who pitch this are usually telling us a different story. steve: charles, the fed has received a lot of criticism from the president but one of the things they have been quietly doing is they have been putting a gusher of money into the economy liquid at this. it's resulted in historic low 30 year fixed rate mortgage. it's 2.98%. if you are thinking about refinancing, now is the time to do it because less interest you pay the more money you keep in

your pocket, that you can spend some place else. >> no doubt about that. in fact, the most recent refi numbers were up over 100 percent year over year. also what if you are thinking about buying a home and by the way a lot of people are there is a mass exodus out of these large cities into suburbia and in our area in the new york area it's really significant. even connecticut seeing a wave of people move there out of new york city. imagine if you want to start a household, the old american dream, the single family house with the white picket fence is much more attainable with mortgage rates at these levels and people are taking advantage of it. yesterday we had the national association of home numberses it has rocketed back. it's remarkable how quickly it's come back. people want to own their own home and now they can do it a lot easier than they could months ago. brian: a lot of them are fixing up their home, too. sadly furloughed or laid off and they are focusing on their own

dwelling and putting more money into the economy retail sales are up 7.5%. charles, watch you at 2:00 and throughout the day, okay? >> all right. if anxiously was here i would give her a shoutout for calling clothing up over 100 percent last month. she called it. brian: she did. i will make sure to play this back for her on her vcr when she gets back to us on monday. as we say goodbye to charles say hello to jillian who has more news. jillian: good morning to you. overnight police identify a person of interest in the brutal murder of a tech ceo. authorities say he was repeatedly stabbed and dismembered inside his manhattan apartment. the killer reportedly wore a ninja suit and followed him out of his apartment elevator tasing him before the attack. investigators believe the murder was financially motivated. a deputy is hailed a hero after saving two people from a wildfire in utah. deputy john thomas says he

well as the new york city area getting some showers and thunderstorms right now. things are going to clear up and then things are going to heat up. severe threat today for portions of the northern plains and upper midwest with this bulls eye where we could see the potential for hail, damaging winds and tornadoes keep that in mind and know what to do if there is a watch or warming in your area. katie, steve, brian, back to you. steve: busy day in the weather bunker. all right, j.d., thank you very much. janice: flils to see you. steve: you bet. white house press secretary kayleigh kayleigh mcenany blasting the media for taking these comments out of context. >> the science should not stand in the way of this. the science is very clear on this. the science is on our side here. we encourage for localities and states to simply follow the science, open our schools. steve: well, now a top science panel says it's time to completely reopen the schools and dr. nicole saphier is on that coming up next. isposable p.

just vacuum, spray mop, and toss. the shark vacmop, a complete clean all in one pad.

katie: white house press secretary kayleigh mcenany calling out bias after she says the media took out these comments calling for opening up schools out of context. >> the science should not stand

in the way of this. the science is very clear on this. the science is on our side here. we encourage for localities and states to just simply follow the science, open our schools. katie: many in the media said science shouldn't stand in the way of reopening. this comes as a top scientific panel urges america's schools to reopen full time. here to react no one better than her author of make america healthy again dr. nicole saphier. good morning, doctor. >> good morning, katie. katie: keep continuing to seat politicization of this issue of reopening the schools, especially on taking the press secretary out of context. is that helpful when it comes to americans trying to move forward with fighting the virus but also come back to their daily lives and getting their kids back to school? >> of course not, katie. we both know what cailee did noh

didn't say science should stand in the way she went why science support it. maybe she misspoke. the provocative nature of media and journalists nitpick and everything people are saying and turn it against them just for partisan showing on social media how many ever likes or re-tweets they can get it's ridiculous and certainly not helpful for moving our country forward. rather than having polarization, we actually need to be coming together as a community to do what's best for our children. we have already failed our children right now by abrupting shutting their schools without firm reopening plans. we have also failed them that that we haven't contained community spread of the virus. here we are trying to scramble getting schools open because the science is clear that they have to get back to school as soon as possible and that in person schooling is what is best for them. you have the american academy of pediatrics that are saying it. now you have national science,

engineering and mathematics that are also saying, you guys, we have to come together. we have to i can majeure that we do what is right for our children and that is what is right. kayleigh is right, you want to look at the science? what does it tell us about children and covid-19? united states data elm late that of other countries, specifically china, that looks at how many children have been infected with covid and how severely that it is. i can tell you, katie, it is significantly less than that with adults. there is far fewer children that not only need to be hospitalized but are in the icu and even those that require icu care far fewer actually die from covid-19. and even some of those numbers are inflated because some of the patients, the children, one of the child of the two that has died in the icu from covid-19 in this particular study, they were already there in septic which is fatal in itself. katie, the bottom line is we know that children are not as severely affected by covid-19, the question we still have right now is what is their

transmissionability? because they tend to be more asymptomatic. they do have viral loads in their nose and mouth and can they spread it to other people? that's the question that needs to be answered when we go forward talking about schools. fortunately one of the largest trials underway right now but we don't know it for a few months. does seem that study out of germany children are not transmitting it like adults. let's move forward and do what we can and get these kids in school because we know that is what is best for them. katie: yeah. dr. nicole saphier we appreciate you braking down the science for us this morning. we will talk to you soon. thank you. all right. still ahead, acting dhs deputy secretary ken cuccinelli and harris faulkner both join us live. when you're ready... look for the r.

violent will 7 weeks. police precinct this on the heels of acting dhs secretary chad wolf's visit seeing it first hand and calling on leaders to clamp down. >> asking all state and local leaders here in portland, in oregon, come out specifically and publicly condemn these violent anarchists. otherwise, you are creating an environment, you are fostering an environment that continues to breed this type of lawlessness. >> portland's mayor ted wheeler slamming the law enforcement protect federal property like courthouses and statues. >> what i have a problem with is them leaving the facilities, going out ton to the streets of this community and then escalating an already tense situation. >> answered took to twitter asking them to leave saying this is clearly a accord nativitied strategy from the white house. it is irresponsible and it is escalating an already tense

situation. remove your heightened troop presence now. this as portland police report local businesses have suffered 23 million in damages so far and senator ron widen of oregon saying a peaceful protester in portland was shot in the head by one of donald trump's secret police. now trump and chad wolf are weaponizing dhs to provoke violence on the streets of my hometown because they think it plays well with right-wing media. there is no response yet from the white house. but clearly, guys, this fight is escalating. katie, steve, brian? steve: it is, indeed. griff, thank you very much. for more, let's bring in the acting department of homeland security deputy secretary ken cuccinelli. ken, good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: as we look at what is happening in portland and we have seen it happen in other cities as well, the president has teased that he is going to do something next week to bring law and order to these lawless

immunities you know, the white house has been reluctant to talk about any of the details. but have you got to figure it's going to involve money. where if they want some federal money, they are going to have to do something. >> well, you know, from a dhs perspective, it includes things like advancing more police to places like portland. and that's exactly what we did there and we have buildings and property and people we defend all over the country, 9,000 locations all over the country. and dhs is the largest law enforcement organization. we don't, by the way, have any secret police as the senator referred to. we have been very openly trying to keep the law enforced. it's interesting to say gee, we provoked violence when this has been going on longer than the rains for noah's ar ark this was more than 40 days in a row. we were not there in significant

force in the last few weeks as things continued to escalate and what we have seen around the country is where responsible police something advanced, violence recedes. portland hasn't gotten that memo. nor have a lot of other cities. and the president is determined to do what we can within our jurisdiction to help restore peace to these beleaguered cities. brian: wait a second. senator ron biden says this is twhy widen to appealto base. hit in the head with a 2 by 4. lasers being shot trying to blind different cops and federal officials and graffiti nonstop. that's just to name a few along with shootings. >> and don't forget pipe bombs, right? brian: and pipe bombs. does senator ron widen really think the trump administration is to blame? >> it certainly sounds like he's on the side of these violent folks. let's not kid ourselves. these aren't protesters. these are criminals. they are looters. they are seeking opportunities

to destroyed. and, frankly, to hurt law enforcement officials. both local, the police bureau there in portland, who have their hands tied. i talked to the head of the union there earlier this week, the police union darryl turner. and he is and his fellow officers are very frustrated at how people like mayor wheeler are tying their hands rather than letting them do their job. and it's exactly that kind of encouragement to the mob that escalates the violence. it isn't advancing more responsible policing. it's by tying the hands of responsible police officers. and that's what's going on in portland. you see it in other cities around the country. and we are seeing the violent rules. we are seeing the violent results. donald trump. the president of the united states is determined to do what he can to push that down. we can't do it everywhere. but he is determined to bring more peace across some of these violent cities.

katie: mr. cuccinelli, i just wanted to ask you real quickly about the jurisdiction that you referred to. the president has acknowledged he does not have the authority to send people in without the local authorities asking for help. so what exactly are the options here? >> well, katie, it isn't just that. we can go in when they request help. there is also the question you see in portland. there is a federal courthouse. the federal government is responsible for prerkting that facility and the area around it. and there are other fittings there as well. fittings -- facilities there for as well. they have become point of attacks for the local mob that the government doesn't wanting to seek to control. we do have our bases of authority as well. we are looking to string those together in various places. we also use cross designation of law enforcement officers. so, for instance, just as an example, when we talk about defending those 9,000-plus federal properties, the first line of defense is called the federal protective service. it's one of the law enforcement agencies within the department

of homeland security and we will often cross designate other law enforcement officers who can help do that work. and the same happens with the department of justice and the marshals and so forth. so we can shift the resources around. steve: sure, last knight the resources were needed because about 10:00 the police apparently heard out in portland, heard some people chanting they wanted to burn down the building, so they announced, you know what? you will have to back up and they didn't and they pushed them and there was some sort of smoke bombs set off and things like that. and eventually order was restored. but, you know, we have heard from the mayor out there, if you guys want to do anything, yeah, can you do this. just get rid of the graffiti on the outside of the building and stay in your building. ken. >> yeah. and surely no more graffiti will show up on the outside of the building, right? yeah, great idea, mr. mayor. so, you know, you all reported on the tens of millions of dollars of damage that's already been done down there.

and i sort of wonder, if this was all happening, you know, at nike's facilities, would they do something? or if it was happening at some of their more prominent businesses, would they do something? up in seattle, the liberal anarchists are protesting starbucks, which is apparently not liberal enough for them. you know, so there is going to be an eat your own approach to this. and if that happens in portland, will they start to take a differential approach? it would be very interesting to see. this is not just random where these violent rioters go. and it's probably not a coincidence that the local government is willing to let them attack the federal government because they support them just like your comments earlier from senator widen, he is firmly taking the side of criminally violent protesters. criminally violent protesters. brian: who by the way don't -- i'm pretty sure they are not social distancing.

that's for another time. [laughter] brian: another thing i add n chicago the president says i would like to send you help and the mayor says no. do you know who is saying yes to increasing police budgets? three cities. phoenix, houston, and san diego. so there is somewhat hope. >> well, people do learn from other folks' mistakes. there is the old staying learn from your mistakes. i have always joked i would rather learn from other people's mistakes. well, san diego, houston, phoenix are learning from other people's mistakes. look at de blasio and the city council up there in new york. i keep tweeting out to the nypd hey, come join law enforcement agency that will appreciate you. the department of homeland security as new york cuts its budget and watches violent crime skyrocket while de blasio stands out there and says wow, there is so much peace breaking out here. you are breaking into pieces is what you are breaking. brian: no kidding. ken cuccinelli, thank you so much. stay safe.

>> great to be with you all. brian: let's change gears and look at money. looking to buy a house or refinance a mortgage i think now is the time. steve: no kidding. one of the things the federal reserve has done, is during this crisis is they have flooded the market with cheap money, liquidity. and what has happened is in this past week of reporting, the 30 year fixed rate mortgage has fallen to 2.98%. brian: they are giving it all away. steve: well for 2.89%, you are absolutely right plus closing costs. that is remarkable. because, you know, as charles payne was with us just about a half an hour ago. if you have had an inkling to own something, now's the time. >> you want to start a household, the old american dream, the single family house with the white picket fence is much more attainable with mortgage rates at these levels and people aren't taking advantage of it. yesterday we had the national

association of home builders sentiment numbers. it has rocketed back. it's remarkable how quickly it's come back. people want to own their own home and now they can do it a lot easier than they could just months ago. steve: not only that katie. but when you pay less interest, you actually have more money in your pocket to buy other stuff or to spend and save. katie: it's a great time for people to make a big investment in the economy and in their own future and as charles payne laid out people are fleeing the cities to get to the suburbs to own their own home in light of all of this unrest in the country. we will see how it goes forward. 2.89% is pretty dang good. brian: i always thought that phil had the best deals not anymore. take that phil. rest in peace. meanwhile jillian mele you are poised to tell us what else is happening. jillian: gout that right. start off with a fox news alert. the man accused of punching an nypd chief terrence hun hand and two other cops is released

without bail. he is accused of attacking officers on the brooklyn bridge as peaceful protests fired out of control. monahan says he is doing okay but his officers are not. >> probably been as low as it has been in a long time it. is important that we as an agency tell them how much we appreciate them. but, more importantly, the silent majority is out there. the community that is out there, that supports our police officers. jillian: another cop was hit in the face during the chaos with something similar to brass knuckles. another fox news alert. the u.s. shatters its daily record in covid-19 cases overnight. more than 77,000 new cases reported thursday. that's 10,000 more cases than the previous record. 969 deaths were reported. the largest spike in over a month. more than 3.5 million people have tested positive for covid-19 in the u.s. that grim milestone comes as georgia governor brian kemp sues

probably one of the most proud moments of my life. >> ceremony capturing two generations of heroes proudly serving their country. ashley has outranked her parents already. guys? steve: look at that thank you. >> that's great. thanks, jillian. appreciate it. many in the media signaling the end for president trump. >> in the clearest possible sign that donald trump knows he is losing his re-election campaign donald trump tenth fired his campaign manager. >> when the numbers are going in the wrong direction you say adios, owe mi amig goes. >> all of that true? >> corey lewandowski once served as the trump's campaign manager. he weighs in next. a lot of healthy foods are very acidic

>> this latest news troubling. trump demoting his campaign manager, brad parscale. >> in the clearest possible sign that donald trump knows he is losing his re-election campaign donald trump tonight fired his campaign manager. >> when the numbers are going in the wrong direction you say adios amigos goodbye to your campaign manager. steve: some are jumping on president trump's campaign shakeup. campaign manager and current trump 2020 senior advisor corey lewandowski joining us from the beautiful state of maine. corey, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. steve: so that's why president trump rearranged people's jobs a couple of days ago. fine tune the campaign because he is losing according to that. >> well, steve, look, we have seen this now for the last four and a half years. people are continued to under

estimate donald trump. they did it in 2016 and they are doing it again. the fact is this president is putting policies in place that have helped the american people. so, as it relates to the campaign specifically, brad parscale and i hired brad in 2016 to build the president's first ever website for the campaign. i have worked with bill the current campaign manager. brad's core competency has always been in the world of digital. and he has exceed in that exceptionally. look at what we were able to do in 2016. look at the juggernaut we built in 2020. this opportunity now is for brad to refocus specifically on the digital side of things. a place where the new campaigns are really going. brad is at the forefront of that this change is simply to give brad the opportunity to go and do that while putting bill step i don't know who served in the 16 campaign as the white house political director in charge of the day-to-day operations. steve: in fact, i do believe you hired bill in 2016.

it's deja vu again because then donald trump fired you. >> i have lived this thing and seen this movie. have you heard of groundhog day? i have done this, okay? [laughter] the truth is, it's always about the candidate. and, remember, joe biden changed out his campaign manager and nobody talked about it. it's really about the candidate. these staffing things are what we call palace intrigue. the american people don't care about them. they care about the policies that are put in place. they care before the promises that are made and the promises that are kept. and this president made a series of promises in 2016 and he has delivered on all of those and america is better off today under the donald trump leadership than any chance of joe biden ever serving for this country. steve: you know, when i heard that there was a change, i figured kellyanne might be tapped again because she actually carried the ball over the goal potus rather over the

finish line essentially in 2016 made history as the first woman campaign manager. i'm surprised -- i wonder if she was considered. >> you know, i don't know about that internal discussion. i can tell that you kellyanne was a essential component of the 2016 campaign. your viewers and viewers across the country saw her on tv every day fighting for then candidate trump. she continues to be a senior counselor to the president and the white house doing a fantastic job. and, look, a campaign at this stage is about addition, not subtraction. it's about bringing more people in to make sure that the team is running well. and i'm not sure of additional changes but i can tell you that more people in and having that echo chamber is important to make sure that your message is getting done properly. steve: sure. i know everybody knows the number one issue facing americans right now is the coronavirus and i have seen some polling that the president is under water on that because people aren't -- clearing

throat] excuse me, i'm all choked up over. this that the federal response has been lacking so he is under water on that. but, at the same time, you have got to figure the president, who is at heart a tv producer thinks that what this is going to come down to is the tv show. and that is the debates, the three debates between him and joe biden. and when people see the contrast between joe biden and donald trump, mr. trump feels they will go for him. >> well, steve, look we saw what the president was able to do on debate stage against hillary clinton. completely destroyed her and joe biden is no hillary clinton on the debate stage. the truth is the joe biden campaign does not want to put him out in front of the american people because is he so gaffe prone. he thinks 130 million americans have died from covid so far. look, we are excited about the president's opportunity to debate joe biden. i hope they do more than just the three that are scheduled. the way that it works now, the first presidential debate is going to be held at the end of

september. the downside of that is with early voting transpiring, tens of millions of people potentially have already voted before this first debate. so we want to see joe biden debate early. we are very confident in the president's ability. i think he is the greatest debater that we have seen in our lifetime. and we are excited about the chance for him to take his message directly to the american people while joe stays in his basement. steve: 109 days away and we should know by then. corey, thank you for joining us live. >> thank you. steve: meanwhile, this sunday fox news will debut a prime time special the fight for america. town hall will focus on nationwide civil unrest and how we move forward united. harris faulkner is the host. you know what? we woke her up early today. she is working overtime to give you a preview and that's coming up next. instead of trying to decide

conversation right now. but it's a lot of shouting and we see it on the streets of america. unfortunately, some of that perforated by, you kno you knowe who would harm. not one singular faction that represents everybody. i really want to get into that because things have gone south this week. and the timing of the special now is i think more critical than ever. and i think that it's more than the protesters and you see the flames of that squad car that nypd squad car set on fire in front of us on the screen and all that we have seen where things have kind of gone sideways. coupled with that are the areas, brian. this is something that i know is close to your heart. we were supposed to be able to escape through sports. that's now also been kind of a ground where people go and they talk about struggle and it's a big platform. particularly for athletes of color. so we get why it might be there.

but, in the absence of a lot of live sports, the messaging now is that's not as much a place that you can escape if you are really trying. to say herbal walker is on the program. mark cuban who you know owns the dallas mavericks. we can also talk to mark about business and economy right now, too. we are seeing those job numbers, i mean, creating jobs people having problems being in them because of the reopening back. there is a lot to get into. at the very crux of it is it's struggle. and my message is can we not fight each other and can we fight for something? and, brian, what would you want to fight for more than america? brian: doesn't seem like a lot of the civil unrest in the streets has much to do with making the country better it. seems to be tearing it apart. you want to bring it back to the conversation which launched it all where we could have actually benefited from it and i think that's great. senator tim scott is going to be on your roster as well as this guy named sean hannity who has

is going on right now. the focal point right now is the people in the struggle in the streets. and so what sean brings he has law enforcement background in his family. and we get into what that's like. what the solutions really look like. it will surprise you. senator tim scott can talk about being pulled over. even in the nation's capitol what he describes driving while black and they didn't recognize him. even when he proved who he was. there is a disconnect. there is a conversation that needs to be had about opening up. we can't judge each other so much. don't judge every cop by what you see. all of this started at a place when we were together. remember 8 minutes and 46 seconds that george floyd suffered. we agreed that was murder. all of us as americans. we agreed that was wrong. look at us, we are divided. how do we come back to that point where we can work together? that's what sunday night is about. brian: right. with the back drop of an election so much at staked in the middle of a pandemic and

economic distress. harris faulkner. watch her every day but also watch her on sunday at 10:00. all right. it's going to be great, harris, thanks so much. >> thank you, brian. great to see you. brian: you got it. meanwhile, coming up straight ahead on this show, attorney general bill barr calling out hollywood's cozy relationships with china. >> hollywood now regularly sensors its own movies to apeace thappease the chinese communist party. brian: someone texted him in the middle of his conversation. pete hegseth next. he seems happy.

pete: poor, quite poor. i usually only catch perch or sun fish. that's a big fish for a little guy. steve: absolutely. katie: it is a big fish for a little guy. absolutely. let's get back to the news here even though i would love to keep talking about fishing. pete, attorney general bill barr gave a speech yesterday blasting hollywood for their connections to china. let's take a listen. >> hollywood's actors, producers and directors pride themselves on celebrating freedom and the human spirit. and every year at the academy awards, americans are lectured about how this country falls short of hollywood's ideals of social justice. but hollywood now regularly sensors its own movies to appease the chinese communist party, the world's most powerful violater of human rights. this censorship infects not only the versions of movies that are

released in china but also many that are shown in the united states theaters to american audiences. katie: so, pete, the attorney general gave this speech, the secretary of state mike pompeo is scheduled to give another one next week on china. it looks like the administration is ramping up the pressure on the communist regime but the hollywood angle of this was a very interesting one considering the virtue signaling that is constantly coming out of that place about human rights and dig dignity. yet, they are all about the chinese money. pete: yeah. they are ramping up the pressure on the communist chinese as they should. china is the single largest geopolitical foe we have on the balance. second cold war whether acknowledge it or not worse than the soviet union was when we stared them down under world war ii. they are using every lever of influence. mastered the after the steel. that's why hollywood is doing. this pushing not just at the military level and economic level where they enrich

themselves from american companies cultural and entertainment level i would like to submit to the record for "fox & friends," i think there is a official "fox & friends" congressional record pages 105 to 109 of my book american crusade. katie: the archives. pete: the archives i wrote about the movies that are changed in hollywood every year because either the communist chinese demand it or they just know it won't be allowed into the market unless they do. the endings of movies hot villains are in movies. the perfect 2020 villain for hollywood today is the oppressive communist chinese -- can't make a film about it because they are scared of them. brian: attorney general picked up on it and the secretary of state. the world is united against it. they have seen what huawai would do. rights taken away in hong kong. watching build islands and militarize them and keeping watchful eye on tijuana. we are not alone in this.

this is an opportunity to gather around what we have been saying and claiming that they are the problem. pete: i hope so, brian. but a big problem here are american companies. take hong kong, for example. i also write about this in the book. the free -- the hong kong protesters were using an app. to communicate against the communist chinese. personal companies amazon and google were told about it and they shut these protesters' app. down at the behest of the communist chinese. our companies are enriching the communist chinese on the back of american capitalism. the president has talked about that. and here's why 2020 is so important. beijing joe biden has been a part of the foreign policy consensus for the last 30 or 40 years that if we just trade more with china or just open up their economy, they will become more free and better partners in the world. instead they have taken add van tang of us and made us look dumb as the word the president uses often to get more powerful and increase their influence. maybe the world is waking up a little bit. we have to untangle the

corporate alliances we have with china. otherwise, they will have the ability to leverage that against us should we actually need to confront them. steve: pete, it's right in front of you if you would please hold up your new book american crusade because we need to mention that it is available everywhere. katie: archives. steve: pete will not be on the channel tomorrow this weekend he is taking his life in his own hands he is getting into a recreational vehicle with seven children and his wife. good luck, pete. pete: pray for us, steve. pray for us. it's going to be a cross-country trip many, many days, many, many miles, many, many kids. katie: that will be fun. pete: i will check in once on the weekend show as well. brian i will take your prayers, katie and whatever can you do. brian: pete, as you know i just got out of a trip in an rv with not as many children and it is certainly a challenge from lining up your gas tank when you pull over to making sure

everything is working and not smelling. and very interesting it's a traveling living room it. is a lot of fun. katie: lots of snacks, pete, make sure there are a lot of snacks. pete: did you hit some things, brian? steve: he hit a toll booth. he couldn't gas it up and when he was driving down the road you know the thing at the bottom where you put the luggage and you put the luggage in and close it, luggage flew out. brian: hard to get it locked. people come up to i guess he recognizes me, no. the lift is open. pete: that's the most embarrassing moment text me your tips. brian: going to be a lot of fun. might be just don't bring two great peepyrenees.

steve: jillian is upstairs with the news. jillian: brian's list of tips is here is what not to do. [laughter] brian: a lot of fun. jillian: let's start off with this. u.s. marshals person of interest in the killing of a 1-year-old boy. police say two men walked up to a barbecue in brooklyn, new york on sunday and started shooting. killing deval gardner jr. and wounding three others. the suspect is believed to be a gang member who was shooting at another gang when deval was shot and killed in his stroller. investigators now trying to determine if the person of interest is connected to any other shootings. picture for patriots actor antonio sabato jr. says he is starting a conservative movie studio. sabato plans to take on projects that other hollywood studios would never do tweeting in part quote no more blacklisting and no more injustice from the socialist elitist. sabato says he was blacklisted in hollywood after announcing his support for president trump in 2016. okay. it's a little different call

here. one police call had officers hopping with excitement. a kangaroo spotted in the middle of a florida street. fort lauderdale, police believe jack is someone's pet that got away. the officer was very excited to catch him. i'm so happy i have this on body cam. in your how many years did you ever a kangaroo? >> i'm so happy. >> jack was loaded into a police car and taken to the station. no word if they used handcuffs. he is now in the custody of the state's wildlife. exotic pets like kangaroos are illegal in colorado. steve: first bowl low for a kangaroo in that town. brian: they can knock you out with their fists. how did a british heiress become tangled in with jeffrey epstein? nancy grace is going inside the

case of gilmaxwell she is here . among my patients i often see them have teeth sensitivity as well as gum issues. does it worry me? absolutely. new sensodyne sensitivity & gum gives us the dual action effect that really takes care of both our teeth sensitivity as well as our gum issues. there's no question it's something that i would recommend. did you know prilosec otc can stobefore it begins?urn heartburn happens when stomach acid refluxes into the esophagus. prilosec otc uses a unique delayed-release formula that helps it pass through the tough stomach acid. it then works to turn down acid production, blocking heartburn at the source. with just one pill a day, you get 24-hour heartburn protection. prilosec otc. one pill a day, 24 hours, zero heartburn.

katie: well new details emerging about jeffrey epstein's long time associate and long time

girlfriend ghislaine maxwell. >> miss maxwell was the ringleader. she was the architect of the sex ring that went on for decades. went ms. maxwell's participation, without her complicit, none of this would have occurred. katie: nancy grace takes a look how the socialite epstein. it's all part of her special on fox nation. nancy grace joins us now with more. tell us about what you found. >> well, you know, it's interesting. of course the state never has to prove a motive on the defendant when they go to trial. you can't get into somebody's head and lurk around in there and figure things out. i find it incredibly interesting and it's the exact way i would investigate a case when i presented them to a jury in inner city, atlanta here you are not bound by a commercial break

or a time queue. we get to go in-depth and find out what makes ghislaine maxwell tick. i found out how she met jeffrey epstein. kind of like a blind date. she was hooked up by a mutual friend. she falls in love. the reason they finally broke up romantically, he wouldn't marry her. much of what she did including procuring little girls in the shadow of the middle school building was to please jeffrey epstein, gain acceptance and power in his world. katie: let's take a look at your special and we will get your reaction on the other side. >> she had all the features of a sociopath, impull sift, recklessness, failure to plan ahead. now, you might say she is calculating. remember, when she was driving with these young women in a limo, she would ask the limo driver to pull over. she would jump out. she would run into a school yard or a park and give her numbers to young people.

>> so, nancy, the biggest question here, of course, is how the victims are going to get justice, especially since jeffrey epstein is no longer living. tell us a little bit about some kind of deal that she may be getting and is that really fair? >> that's a really good question. many people think that ghislaine maxwell is going to sing, so to speak and rat out other powerful, wealthier influential individuals that took part in child sex. but what does she really have to offer? does she have videos and photos? well, according to sources, the feds already confiscated tons of video and photos from epstein's home so what does she really offer other than what she knows? there is no way the feds are going to let her walk even if she turns informant with no hard jail time. i think the victims will get justice that we, you, i, have to keep our eyes on this. remember, epstein got away with a slap on the wrist down in

florida. we don't want that to hoop again. as long as this is in the spotlight, justice has a chance. katie: maxwell, your ghislaine maxwell investigation is out today on fox nation with the q&a tonight with you at 7:00 p.m. sign up for fox nation today and get your first month for 99-cent. nancy grace, thank you so much. >> thank you. katie: all right. still ahead, kellyanne and geraldo rivera top of the hour. ...

>> ♪ what's love got to do with it, what's love, but a secondhand emotion ♪ pair. brian: my philosophy exactly what's love got to do with it? it's a secondhand emotion and now they put it into a song just released. steve: it's a remix she said she was going to come out with it and she has and it's pretty good brian: right she doesn't age. she's a wonderful woman and a wonderful biography of her we'll show it maybe in the final half hour. steve: i remember when that song first came out and i did an interview with tina turner and she gave me an hour and it was fantastic. brian: i remember being at the clubs dancing the night away. steve: i remember that too and at midnight they would drop the balloons. geraldo rivera remembers the clubs fox news correspondent at large joining us from ohio. what do you remember about the

clubs, geraldo and the 80s? geraldo: [laughter] jedediah: yeah, next. geraldo: they say that if you remember much you really weren't there. steve: oh, you were there i've seen the images, geraldo we want to talk about our top story and of course, yesterday, and today once again, you know that brooklyn bridge brawl where four cops were injured including the top cop wound up with a broken finger, 37 people were arrested and now the news is that apparently the guy who allegedly repeatedly punched the chief was charged with assault but released on no bail, and that's one of the reasons why the chief told neil cavuto yesterday, morale has never been lower. listen to this. >> understanding right now that morale has been as low as its been in a long time. it is important that we as an agency tell them how much we appreciate them and how much we know they're out there, the trouble they're dealing with

on the street but more importantly the silent majority is out there, the community that is out there that supports our police officers, that know the job they do. they know the time, they ran into a burning building to save a life. they know the times that they saved the life of a choking baby , of a cardiac victim, how often they've run into gunfire to save people. these are the men and women that you're hearing others put down on a regular basis. these are the heros of 9/11. steve: indeed, geraldo and the chief went on to say that these bad actors who assaulted these cops allegedly were part of anthropology ark it's group that has been there since the beginning, since the george floyd killing. they have been infiltrating these peaceful marchs and the peaceful movements and they're getting away with all sorts of stuff. geraldo: getting a we with all sorts of stuff indeed.

the new york times is complaining new york police face scrutiny as shootings sore and arrests drop. well, it's not rocket science. arrests drop and shootings have soared because they disbanned the plain clothes unit as part of their billion dollar budget ravaging of the police budget. you know, there is a disconnect between city hall and the access to the mayor has and what's really happening in the streets. i'm delighted to say that the people they've arrested though,kuran campbell, 25-year-old from the bronx, and shanete reyes a 24-year-old from new jersey one has $10,000 bail and the other were released with no bail. i'm not worried about them showing up they'll show up. what i worry about is the utter disregard for the rules of civilization. steve: of course. geraldo: when you attack a policeman that way, mindside him try very much to give him a

brain hemorrhage, this is disgusting uncivilized behavior and you should get the book thrown at you. this is not political protest. this is assault on a cop. i mean, in my day it was absolutely unheard of and the fact that they feel empowered to do it now, i think, is a symptom of how far we've gone down this defund the police road where, you know, the radicals have the upper hand taking advantage of the pain that followed the death of george floyd for almost seven weeks now, they've been disrupting cities from coast to coast and when they feel empowered to hit a cop, to hit a cop in new york, you know, i'm a new yorker and it is almost inconceivable that they would feel so arrogant, so above the law that they could do something in broad daylight like hitting a policeman and coldcock ing him with a baseball

bat, i mean forget about it. >> yeah, this isn't just happening in new york city as you know it's mentioning from coast to coast and in portland things have gotten increasingly out of control. dhs offered to come in and try to restore civility there but they keep rejecting the requests this is what the mayor had to say, mayor ted wheeler said the best thing they, meaning the feds can do, is stay inside their building or leave portland altogether. our goal is to end these violent demonstrations quickly and safely. in the meantime, i asked him to clean-up the graffiti on local federal facilities. so, what exactly is he doing if his goal is to end this quickly? the feds have offered everything and they're rejecting their requests. geraldo: i think, katie what he's doing is smoking dope up in the second floor of city hall hiding out, and allowing his city to be trashed. steve: what? geraldo: millions and millions of dollars in lost business, and people being accosted, and the federal court house being de

faced on a nightly basis. the federal government, the president sent in dhs, the department of homeland security to secure the courthouse there. still, the protesters and these protesters in portland, katie, you know as well as i do that these are professional protester s. these are the protesters that didn't need george floyd as an excuse to go out and commit mayhem and to have such an arrogant attitude toward policing. these are professionals. if they're not antifa, they are antifa-like and been around in portland for many many years at least since the late 90s. their job is to disrupt and provoke the cops into using excessive force or at least the appearance of excessive force. you know, you throw something at a cop you hit a cop and the cop turns around and reacts and they get the cop on tape, not the initial assault. that's their whole plan. that's their m-o. you've got to see through it and i think what mayor wheeler is doing is totally disconnected

from the feelings of most of the people in portland, most want a safe city, it's a lovely lovely place, my son went to high school there, to see what they're doing, to substantial portion of downtown portland, mu cking it up, attacking the federal court house on a regular basis and dhs is exactly right to be there. brian: the seattle mayor was tolerant until they went to her house and i don't know how wheeler will feel if they look him up because these people never get enough and they want to keep on pressing the issue until they take over zones of cities. meanwhile you've got to wonder how this plays into politics and where joe biden stands. dnc spokesperson communications director came forward and said joe biden is not for this and not for defunding the police. let's listen. >> let me be very clear about this. joe biden does not support de funding the police, and specifically, what he is saying is he wants to make sure that police departments have the tools that they need in order to do their jobs. brian: right, well upon further

review, when given a follow-up question by a supporter, this is why they keep him away, he cannot withstand scrutiny this is what joe biden said about the police. >> as surplus military equipment for law enforcement, they don't need that. the last thing you need is a humvee coming into the neighborhood it's like the military invading. they don't know anybody. they become the enemy and they are protecting these people so my generic point is -- >> we agree we can redirect some of the funding? >> yes, absolutely. brian: okay, you can say one thing through your spokesperson but when you actually speak, it's a different story. what does that reveal to you, geraldo? geraldo: you know, brian, far more astoot group than the national association of police organizations have seen right through the democratic rhetoric and have chosen to endorse president trump. they did not endorse him last time. they have endorsed him this time that's a thousand police

organizations. well over 900,000 people when you count their spouses, that's a very significant voting block and it does appear that they have rejected the rhetoric of the left, rejected this whole de fund the police movement and have warmly embraced the candidacy of president trump indeed, if president trump was doing as well with many of these swing states as he is with the cops he'd be in a whole different story right now but i think the cops have shown their love and support for the president and they believe that he's got the right idea. they are delighted, for instance that the feds have gone to try to take control of the federal court house in portland. steve: geraldo i think on the issue of law and order the president wins that but right now, the number one issue in america is covid and i know the president's got to be frustrated because we should have been wrapping up the dnc coverage today but it got canceled and is being moved back and scaled down as well but

going forward, you know, i think the president just is waiting, is chomping at the bit to get on with the three debates because he wants to be on the stage where he can call joe biden out and so the people can see the contrast between the two candidates. geraldo: if i were biden's handler i'd definitely do everything i could to avoid debate, a physical face to face debate, steve. i think it's pretty clear the president will two-up his opponent on a live debate stage, but i think that what you said initially is really the telling point. i believe that if there's not an effective vaccine almost on the horizon or not on the horizon but within reach in september-october, president trump could lose. if there is a vaccine, and people feel even if it hasn't been distributed yet which of course it could not be possibly distributed to hundreds and hundreds of millions of people, i think that if there's a major step in that direction toward a

vaccine that's found to be safe and effective, i think the president will win, but absent a vaccine i think the covid will dominate the whole political climate. steve: october surprise, geraldo geraldo: well i think the october surprise might be the distribution of 100 million doses of the vaccine. brian: yeah, we'll see and here is the analogy that geraldo will enjoy. remember floyd patterson was the champion and his manager said whatever you do don't fight list listening and you can't win and just like joe biden says i'll debate trump and he got knocked out, so if biden has good handlers he will not get there. he will not debate. geraldo: i felt very sorry for him brian you're working around the clock. when do you sleep? steve: the overtime is amazing. he's so rich. all right, geraldo thank you very much. geraldo: you must be beaten up. brian: you had a boxing gym at one point.

steve: that's good, geraldo thank you very much have a nice weekend in the meantime it is almost 8:12 here in new york city. jillian? jillian: good morning to you let's begin with a fox news alert right now. the u.s. shatters its daily record in covid-19 cases overnight. more than 77,000 new cases reported on thursday. that's 10,000 more cases than the previous record. 969 deaths were reported the largest spike in over a month and that grim milestone comes as georgia governor brian kemp sues atlanta's mayor for enforcing face masks in public places and it bans city leaders from requiring masks. in illinois governor sues three schools over their refusal to require masks in classrooms. >> a convicted killer is scheduled for execution today in iowa. dustin honk canin will be the third federal inmate executed

this week and sentenced to death for killing five people including government informants and two young girls in 1993 and in an effort to stop his prosecution he's set to die by lethal injection after 15 years on death row. >> senate republicans are iing possible subpoenas for biden advisors as part of an investigation into the former vice president's son. the senate homeland security and government affairs committee is conducting a probe into hunter biden's role on the board. the subpoenas could come as soon as wednesday. those are your headlines i'll send it back to you. steve: thank you. >> katie: thank you, jillian. well as the clock ticks to find a covid vaccine russia is now accused of trying to steal research from around the globe. retired four star general jack keane says putin wants the vaccine all for himself. he joins us live, next. ta-da! did you know liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need? i should get a quote. do it. only pay for what you need.

brian: a lot of ground to cover in the race to find a covid-19 vaccine russia being blamed for recent hacks at labs and pharmaceutical companies around the globe forcing a denial by a putin spokesperson let's bring in fox news senior strategic analyst, retired four star general jack keane. general, i'm relieved. it's not just us, it's not just a party, this is the uk and canada saying we know what you're up to vladimir putin, you're trying to rob us of our vaccine, and the technology behind it, correct? >> oh, yeah, absolutely. we shouldn't be surprised this is putin, the thug, whose fundamentally underhanded, in just about everything that he does. you know, his country is fractured by covid because they have such a poor infrastructure in their hospital system and he's being held accountable for miss managing it, and here we are as opposed to trying to work together to develop our vaccine with other countries in

the world, he's trying to steal it and so is china and so is iran and he's using russian intelligence to do it. these people are attacking us on a regular basis, brian. our viewers should know that. they go after government diplomatic functions, think tank s, the energy sector, the healthcare sector, normally they meddled in our elections, normally as late as the last election in 2018. not surprising that they're trying to steal our virus vaccine, but the good news is we're all on to it and we know how to protect ourselves. brian: what does bother me so much is that western europe so concerned about russia continues to subscribe to russia's natural gas instead of taking it from us might be a little bit more expensive but we're much more reliable partner and i understand the president's frustration on that but if we can pivot over to china, i'm stunned by the all hands-on deck approach to hemming them in and making them seem accountable at

least for what they've done to the world with their pandemic and their aggressive actions in the south china sea. are you convinced that we're on the right track here? >> yeah, absolutely. what's happening we've had seven years now of president xi's leadership and the vote is in. he is the most ambitious, the most aggressive, and the most leader and he has put the ccp on a fast-track to achieve the china dream which is domination and control of the asia pacific region and replacing the united states as the world's global leader. as such, the united states began to push back on him. he underestimated the united states as other dictators have done in the last 80 years, he thought because he believed america's a declining power and the obama administration was giving him a green light to do what he wanted to do that that's really who america is. well it's not who we are as we

know the pushback from this administration. he overreached with the pandemic and spreading it and he's over reached with hong kong and now, this administration is seizing the strategic opportunity, brian, to stich together a broad coalition, that's anti-china and formulate a grand strategy to deal with china very much as we had done for many years in dealing with the soviet union during the cold war and this is a whole of government approach that's very comprehensive. the administration sees what's available to them and they're working with partners and allies in a way that we have not been able to do successfully in the past, dealing with china. brian: here is how right you are about a holistic approach. here is the attorney general at the gerald ford museum yesterday . >> the ultimate ambition of china's rulers isn't to trade

with the united states. it is to raid the united states. if you were an american business leader, appeasing the prc may bring short-term rewards, but in the end, the prc's goal is to replace you. brian: and general, i always look to see what our allies are doing, not just saying and it was very hard to see the uk walk away from huawei and 5g this week. we're beginning to win over our friends and china realizes they have no friends, just clients. >> yeah, the momentum is clearly moving against the ccp and president xi out in the world. he's having to endure world condemnation, there's some internal pressure on him as a result of what i described as his over reaching but i hope business leaders are truly listening to our attorney general out there, because we have businesses in this country, brian, who are actually helping

the pla, the people's liberation army inside of china. who are they? google, apple, microsoft. google has an artificial intelligence lab in china and the viewers have to understand there's no separation between civil and military under the rule of the chinese communist party. they are fused together, so even though you may be dealing with the private sector company in china you're dealing with the chinese communist party and it's feeding right into military capability. that is absolutely outrageous what i'm talking about here. brian: general so many times and we have to go. we hear about google and these other silicon valley companies upset if they have a client called the pentagon but we don't hear them upset when they have a client called the country of china, who clearly is our rival/ enemy. general thanks so much appreciate it. >> good talking to you, brian. brian: same here meanwhile coming up straight ahead we know crime is surging across america but do we know why? tammy bruce says its dangerous

truly have a grasp on why crime is soaring? here to discuss all of this , fox news contributor tammy bruce , host of "get tammy bruce" on fox nation. tammy thanks so much for being here. >> thank you. katie. >> katie: explain the root of the problem that people politically are choosing to ignore? >> well they really are choosing to ignore it's a very good example the mayor of new york, bill deblasio, just yesterday, had this press conference announcing more restrictions on the details of how police officers can arrest individuals. well then also declaring that like this is an accomplishment as though crime is down that there's fewer people in new york city jails since world war ii, as though again indicating that well everything must be fine. the reason there's fewer people in jail is because they've been let out because of the coronavirus and they're on the street. murders in this city have risen i think over 50% at this point.

other crimes, burglary, robberies have all gone up double and triple digits. in new york, and look, even black leaders in this city, have coming together asking, begging the mayor to reinstate two squad s of police that have been disbanned, including an undercover crime squad and other squads that deal with individual gang members and violent individuals. those have been disbanned and it's another reason why crime has gone up so this is about liberal policies and decisions and yet it's not like they're having a mia culpa moment saying let's change policy. they are trying to gaslight people into believing everything is fine which tells you katie that they have no intention of changing course. >> katie: well yeah let's take a look at the long list of excuses that bill deblasio's making for the rise in crime. >> heartbreaking for so many reasons, and it begins with the fact that there are just so many guns out there. we cannot keep the city safe if we don't have a functioning

court system. we now have fewer people in our jails than anytime since world war ii. >> [applause] >> and we are safer for it and better for it. >> katie: tammy? >> the dilution there is remarkable isn't it? look the other issue is the no bail policy which was implement ed through albany and c uomo, where you've got people who are arrested and who now know they are released as an example the nation saw a horrible attack on police at the brooklyn bridge. two individuals who injured police officers have already been released back on to the streets and this is why whether it's antifa, career criminals now have a get out of jail free card literally and know that they're going to go and not even a revolving door and this is why of course the crime increases because they feel now that the city wants them to commit crime or at least the

leadership does. >> katie: yeah, tammy over the last couple of weeks we've certainly see that mob rule is reigning and a different issue, you have a new op-ed at foxnews .com, and the title is " attacks on goya ceo, expose the left mob men mentality tactics" and the ceo of the immigrant-based business went to the white house and now the left is calling for a boycott. >> yeah it's interesting it's the same issue, katie that this is about identity politics, is refusing to deal with reality , that anybody in this particular case that happens to be goya foods but we're dealing with this cultural ly overall now that if you dare to step out of line, if you dare to not conform to the liberal narrative or the liberal agenda you're going to be crushed and interestingly this is a threat geared mostly toward those individuals and groups that the left claims to protect, like people of color, women, gays and lesbians, that those are the individuals who are told over and over again, if

you dare confront the unreality, the danger of what we're doing, we're going to destroy you. we're going to cancel you and that's why goya foods was a particularly appealing target by the democrats and by the left in general because he dares to be an individual and he dares to be successful, and he dared his crime of course, katie as we know, was to praise the president for lifting this country up. i think that's all you need to know about today's left. >> katie: well tammy bruce we know you're never afraid to stand up for the left, against the left, rather. check out your op-ed at foxnews .com we appreciate your time this morning thank you. >> thank you, katie. >> katie: all right well the president vowing to americans a lot will happen in the next few weeks so what can we expect out of the white house we'll ask kellyanne conway when she joins us, right after the break.

[theresa] shingles? oh dios mio. so much pain. maria had to do everything for me. [maria] she had these awful blisters on her back. i don't want shingles when i'm your age. [camera man] actually, if you're 50 or older, you're at increased risk. [maria] that's life, nothing you can do... [camera man] uh, shingles can be prevented. [maria & theresa] shingles can be whaaaat? [camera man] prevented. you can get vaccinated. [maria] where? [camera man] at your pharmacy, at your doctor's. [maria] hold on! [maria] don't want to go through that! [theresa] hija. [camera man] talk to your doctor or pharmacist about getting vaccinated.

steve: 8:37 in new york city and we're back with a fox news alert the usa has shattered its daily record in covid cases overnight, brian. brian: more than 77,000 new cases reported, that's 10,000 more cases than the previous record. >> katie: 969 deaths were reported the largest spike in over a month. let's bring in kellyanne conway,

the counselor not president from the white house now good morning >> good morning, thank you for having me. >> katie: let's start first with your reaction to these new coronavirus cases overnight and the numbers. >> well this is exactly why, katie, and brian and steve, that we continue to have the coronavirus task force talking about this dual medical and financial crisis that the country is facing that this president has been navigating for many months now. i am told in the coronavirus task force i sit right behind dr. birx and dr. fauci, most days when i can be in there that we are continuing to surge supplies, icu capacity, ventilators, everybody has needed a ventilator has gotten a ventilator. we continue to provide testing and the materials these governor s need in these hotspot surges. we did see an increase in about june 10 to june 16 and maybe a lagging indicator from some of the memorial day activities when a lot of americans just said look i've been in lockdown for many months, first official weekend of summer i'm going to

get out there but i think the most important thing that people can do is our tests and the assistant secretary of health for the whole nation said at recently as yesterday which is close the indoor bars, and wear a mask. get our schools reopened as well don't let these kids suffer because everything is speaking up. also, we had great news this week. as this president has led the effort to the most rapid and deepest monetary investment in vaccines and therapeutics, on this issue, really in our nations history, dr. fauci earlier this week said this is great news that we had an initial test of 45 volunteers who had coronavirus and they built up those antibodies in their bloodstream. on july 27 next week, we'll go, we're going to have the test of 30,000 individuals and hopefully this l be another major leap forward to getting the type of vaccines that we all know will help to mitigate this damage. steve: absolutely, all of our fingers are crossed that it comes sooner than later but and

kellyanne without a doubt the administration is doing a lot the federal government is completely mobilized and yet how do you explain why the president 's numbers on poll ing with approval and disapproval are under water when it comes to covid? you look at the data, from public and private polling, and joe biden actually beats the president on covid response and joe biden is in the basement not doing anything. >> well that has benefited joe biden. the less joe biden is better for joe biden i would note that in other polling, joe biden's negatives have increased because we've seen a little bit more of him. i thought he was running for president of the united states but apparently he's running for governor of pennsylvania because it's one exception, he's not left delaware or pennsylvania in many many months, and that is not the way somebody should be running for president of all 50 states. he should go out there, meet people, engage with them, but it does benefit him. now, i'm going to answer your question about why the president 's numbers maybe a little softer on the handling of

coronavirus. my own view, which is different than some people here, is three things. one, the president's numbers were much higher when he was out there briefing everybody on his day by day basis about the coronavirus. just giving people the information. they were out there every day when we had at some point 2,500 deaths in one day, at the highest level and i guess it was april or so, march and april, and the president and the task force were there most days, giving the information. i think the president should be doing that. i've got some colleagues behind me. steve: why did he stop? >> some people are encouraging him to stop. he's got a task force and doctors and economists and of course the vice president leading the task force but people want information and this country, followed instructions. they stayed inside and socially distanced and became the teacher s helping their kids. steve: kellyanne i think you're absolutely right. i think that that would make it look, appear, that the president was fully engaged on it because every night at 5:00 in the 5:00

hour he would come out and he would brief the nation on the very latest. >> it's wild ratings. people were tuning in and it doesn't vehicle to be two hours but it should be, shouldn't be zero minutes either. steve: it's a good idea. >> the president was at the podium saying i want to give you the facts and the figures as to what we've been able to do. millions of pieces of ppe and ventilators and vaccine development and the like but also i want to say that this president speaks regularly to the governors who are calling him about these hotspots about these surges, working very closely with them, but that's not everywhere and we have to make very clear, and i think the other reason the president's numbers are negative is because he can never get a fair shake but look the poll has 24% republicans. the wall street journal poll 26% republican. the abc news washington poll 24% republican so that is ridiculous to think that likely voters are only 24% republican so if you have a 10% difference, plus 10 democrat in your sample, and you're asking ballot tests or approval ratings between biden and trump you're going to get a

very skewed result so i would caution, i would urge many of all of these outlets that have the polling all wrong in 2016, to sharpen up, to look at your science and your art because none of them got fired by the way. they also have their jobs, it's not really ameritocracy, and the c-suite would have been cleaned out and the shareholders would have revolted and the consumers would look elsewhere for products and services but that's fine they are all still there but their polling is still a hot mess. i would note though that the president is at 54% in some of the polls that only have 24% republican sampling and 54% is handling the economy and i think if he gets out there and talks about the medical and financial crisis then i think it'll be much better and he's got dr. fauci there, he's got dr. birx, dr. redfield, our doctors are out there, economists but also look at what's happening with the economy this president is bullishly leading for the country. we just have so much more job

production. yesterday the dereg event was incredible because this president said for years his tax cut and job act created a great deal of wealth for middle class americans got that business tax rate from 35% down to 21% but the president said he thinks his dereg agenda is just as important and for some business owners, property owner, public school parents, small businesses, it's even more important. we said in the campaign last time, two regulations out for every new one in, it's 8:1 now, and it's billions of dollars in savings. brian: kellyanne i think you know this though everything pales in comparison to the importance of the pandemic. does it effect everybody's life, business owners, families, sports whatever. i don't need to tell you that. i watched ted rollins yesterday on lou dobbs, because sometimes i watch fox business and he knows there's been a change with brad prascale and one of the things was you got to bring

kellyanne back. will you ever go back and reproduce what you did in 2016 steve: she made history. >> well thank you for that, kellyanne never went away actually, here i am and i am at the white house where the president wants me to be and he and i have had this conversation many times. i want to be where my best and highest use is for the president , and i still believe that a president running for re-election, those fortunes rise and fall mostly on what is done where he is, in this building, but he knows how involved i am. i've been by his side for four straight years trying to push, trying to be a very small person pushing up the boulder up the hill of the trump adminitration agenda and i did see earlier, and i thank you for that i saw your segment steve with corey lewandowski and other campaign managers and close con any don't of the president still and continuing and when you said it was the first woman to be campaign manager successfully i was also the only woman in the debate prep most of the time , and i would expect that even if i have to take vacation time i will be there as well because that's going to be must see tv but i think that i'm the person, the longest- serving female here

who works in the intersection between policy and communication and donald trump as president has had an impact on real people 's lives. you're going to see that at our convention and hear that in these debates. joe biden simply can't compete in his 47 years as a lockness monster in the d.c. swamp with four years of the trump record he just has impacts on people's lives and we'll have the people there to talk about it and this president whose a masterful, fearless debate or , you saw his take on hillary clinton and the access hollywood tape two days later and he cleaned her clock, she never took him seriously and then in that final debate october 19, 2016, president trump did something that no republican or pro-life conservative candidate i'd worked with for deck decades had ever done which is this manhattan male billionaire, for most of his adult life had been pro choice, he said you would rip that baby out of its mothers womb with an hour to go

and it really made such a difference. that's his selection of vice president pence, and those were just promises. now he's delivered on that agenda. i read here the democrats are going to reduce their convention to 300 people. that is a small second wedding where i come from folks. that is not a political convention. steve: [laughter] that's funny. >> so here i am. i never went away. brian: gotcha. >> katie: and didn't necessarily get the credit. >> and i think, you know what? i get it where it matters i have a great connection to debates and the grassroots i have my only personal debate with the president, lots of people trying to throw logs on my way, reflects poorly on them not on me and what i want to say to you is brad parscale did a great job with digital, i'm glad he will stay on and do that and under brad's stewardship, they have a huge digital infrastructure, 2 million or so volunteers, a

big campaign staff look 2016 we were under staffed, under resourced but we were also underestimating the underdogs. i think this time the president is also underestimating the underdogs and i'd like to see the 2020 campaign have the same swagger and hunger and the job that we had in 2016 so i think that will have trump on it and last thing i'll say to you -- steve: quickly. >> last thing i'll say is i see a lot of the same trends of 2016. some things are different but i see joe biden as sort of hillary in that way too he's going to try to run on experience and have all of the kings horses and all the kings men and president trump in being underestimated this time will be able to say here is the results i have delivered and people well hear for the first time some of the things that we talk about every day. people who don't pay attention to politics and never watch a rally will absolutely tune into the convention to the debate to learn to see the contrast. steve: all right, let's see if they do research the president's daily coronavirus task force meeting. that was great where the president comes out

kellyanne thank you. all right, katie what's coming up? >> katie: all right, well as states debate reopening one state never closed, and has reported less than 50 cases the governor of that state south dakota is here to discuss her fight against the virus. a lot of healthy foods are very acidic

steve: as states coast to coast continue to debate reopening plans, amid the pandemic, one state south dakota, never closed yesterday, they reported 42 cases and four deaths and about 87% of their total cases have recovered. the governor tweeting that "the call to apply a one-size-fits-all approach is not leadership." here to explain is the leader of south dakota governor christie n ome, good morning to you, governor. >> good morning, steve good to be with you. steve: it's good to have you as well. south dakota never did close, and you were emphatic about that , there's not been a mask mandate. i know you took a lot of criticism because of the mount rushmore event. were there any breakouts after that? >> no actually we're doing really good. we would start to see that a few days ago and we continue to decline. i think what we did here in south dakota is really remarkable because we gave

people their freedom and we let the businesses stay open and we let people go to work and we told them to be smart and we also asked them to be personally responsible and we're seeing benefits of that each and every day in south dakota. steve: sure and i know you were with us a couple months ago talking about what you were doing was you were protect protecting the vulnerable, people over 60 and anybody with a co-morbid condition but at the same time there were spots in your state that were trouble, some of the meat packing plants were a problem so you addressed it that way rather than shut everything down, you were like a laser focusing on those. >> we did, and in fact we according to the national experts, did everything wrong. we did what the people on the ground saw. we aggressively addressed those situations, and came out better for it, so i really think the people of south dakota stepped up and they did the right thing and they trusted me. i trusted them and they made the right decision. steve: in addition to running

the state of south dakota we've got some images of you over the weekend. you were at a professional bull riding event. it was the first major indoor sporting event with fans since march. how important was it to you that you would ride in bringing the flag? >> well that was america. this was the first major sporting event indoors with spectators. they prayed before the event. they sang the national anthem national anthem. i was just proud to be there. this was a perfect example of what makes this country great and these people are athletes. they want to do what they are good at and it remindsed all of us about how special this country is. steve: indeed and as we look at the covid numbers they are staggering but if you had advice to other governors real quickly what would you say? >> trust your people. don't lay down mandates that are going to hinder the ability that they need to really get through

this difficult time. trust them, give them the facts, let them make decisions that are right for their families. steve: indeed, all right governor thank you very much for joining us today from south dakota. >> thank you, steve appreciate it. steve: all right, let's see , 8: 56 now in new york city, step aside, be right back. this year, the alzheimer's association walk to end alzheimer's is everywhere. all of us are raising funds for one goal: a world without alzheimer's and all other dementia. because this disease isn't waiting, neither are you. go to alz dot org slash walk.
