but, when it comes to all this because congress is back in session today they took that two violence and businesses being attacked and people throwing things at each other and setting week symbiotical. two week break. many are hoping for another fires inside police precincts, stimulus package, we get to that enough is enough. in a moment. steve: in the meantime we start steve: ainsley, that's sounds like why the president is going to sign some sort of executive this hour with a fox news alert. chaos in seattle, washington. order this week to bring an end look at this. to it. we're going to talk to chad wolf rioters taking over the streets, the acting dhs secretary live vandalizing stores and a police coming up in the next hour, precinct, actually two. we have learned overnight at griff. griff: yeah. that's right. least 12 seattle officers were but now we want to bring in hurt. one of them now in the hospital. stuart varney, host of varney and company and talk to him about what's going on. stuart, good morning to you, happy monday. >> good morning griff, ainsley [chanting] and steve. ainsley: riotersbreaking windows steve: good morning. griff: president as you saw over of that amazon store. the weekend a big interview your looting businesses. also throwing rocks and bottles own chris wallace. he made a prediction about the stock market if he is reelected. at some of the officers. i want to play that for you and two of those protesters are get your reaction. arrested. >> police say rioters threw a listen. >> we are coming back and we're device into a precinct's lobby coming back at a level that igniting a small fire. nobody would have thought possible. it was quickly extinguished no. a gauge, whether you like it or not, the stock market. the stock market, nasdaq hit its injuries were reported in seattle where they tried to light things on fire, guys. all time high two weeks ago and

that's the same precinct that it's beaten it 14 different times. was taken over during chop. we're going to have a stock market, perhaps, on this has returned in terms of being the ground zero for the november 3rd, it's the highest in history. chaos in seattle. griff: stuart? what do you think? steve: it is the 53rd straight >> okay. i'm going to take the other side of this just for one moment. day of protest in seattle. as you look at that right there, let's suppose that president in portland, as well. trump loses, if that happens, in you know, what they say happened my opinion, the stock market up there is this: they say goes straight down, a major loss there was a peaceful group in the park on sunday. for the market if joe biden wins and then another group, a and if he looks like he is going well-organized group, arrived to win before november the 3rd and they arrived with baseball people will start unloading bats and they marched toward the their stock holdings. courthouse and broke wind dose. look, 100 million americans have went to the police station and a 401(k) and/or an ira. threw the rocks and bottles and a lot of that money is in stocks mortar type fireworks at the officers. and that ainsley is, what injured the officer who wound up going to the hospital. if you look like biden wins you ainsley: right, right. know a mask tax increase is one of the officers said that coming for both businesses and there was some pieces of glass that hit that officer in the individuals. estate taxes go up. neck or some of the -- whatever profit taxes go up. all across the board taxes go they were using to destroy these up. that will inevitably slow the

buildings, fired back at one of the officers and hit the officer economy and bring the stock market down. in the neck. so i'm saying that if a biden is 12 officers injured. two protesters arrested as we just reported. let's talk about portland. a winner and especially if he in portland you had peaceful picks elizabeth warren as his vice president, watch out below, demonstrations and then many of them turned violent. look out below because this two different demonstrations market is going south. going on and colluded together now, the other side of the coin in front of the courthouse and is what the president was tearing down that fence that saying. protects it. you can have a rip roaring stock the argument here, many people market rally if it looks like we are for the federal government are going to continue his stepping in. policies of cutting taxes and the president sending federal officers in to protect federal cutting regulation. courthouses and other federal in short, there is election risk businesses but then you have the built in to this election and local and state leaders many of them are vocally opposed to the this market. a biden win puts the market president. one group of women screaming and down, a trump win puts the chanting moms are here. market up, which side are you feds stay clear. now, the president of the on? steve: well, one of the other portland police association's things that chris wallace did name is darryl turner. was he revealed to the president he had a press conference. for the first time the results he invited people from the faith of a couple of fox news brand community. he invited other owners, new polls. one of them, chris, one of the business owners police and community members to come and be president's response to the question is who do you trust to there and support him over the do a better job on the economy? weekend for this presser. president trump has always won here essaying enough is a this category but, as you can

enough. >> this is no longer about see right there, it's within the george floyd. margin of error but, this is no longer about racial nonetheless, stuart, joe biden is on top with 44 and the equity or social justice. this is no longer about reform president is 43 and don't know or the evolution of policing. 6% say that but, ultimately, hot this is about violence, rioting, destruction. our city sunday siege by rioters. our elected officials have condoned the destruction and chaos of our city. they have placed their political agendas ahead the safety of all of us and the welfare of the community. this must stop. griff: you pointed out, ainsley, there are some peaceful protesters turned out there. is also violent rioters in and the criminal element and the portland's mayor ted wheeler as would covered this all weekend continued to double down on simply ignoring this criminal element that's existed for more than 50 days and rather placing the blame on the administration, on president trump for the presence of the federal officers in his city. here is what wheeler told cnn on

sunday. >> the president has a complete misunderstanding of cause and effect. what's happening here is we have dozens, if not hundreds of federal troops descending upon our city and what they are doing is they are sharply escalating the situation. their presence here is actually leading to more violence and more vandalism. we haven't asked them here. in fact, we want them to leave. we are all telling the trump administration to stop the rhetoric, take these people out of our city. they are not helping us. they are hurting us. and what we are see something a blatant abuse of police tactics by the federal government, by the trump administration that's falling in the poll. and this is a direct threat to our democracy. griff: the draption says the case for putting troops on the ground is that law and order has been lost and while there are questions surrounding a video that was on social media in recent days about an unmarked vehicle. officers taking suspected agitator into custody may be

raised. the attorney general in oregon looking into that. the administration stands firmly behind what they are trying to do to bring back some semblance of society, steve, to what's going on in portland. steve: yeah a threat to democracy? i don't know. if you live in portland, oregon, wouldn't you want this to stop? if you were a taxpayer or if you are one of the businesses that was defaced? that is, i believe, the federal courthouse. and that is what one of the areas that the president has sent the feds in to protect. and as you can see. got out of hand. it's nothicago over the weekend8 people were shot. 58 o'er the weekend. ainsley: two of them were teenagers. steve: nine dead. in new york, the brooklyn borough chief eric add dams said look, rather than call the police when you have got a problem with your neighbor, go and talk to them, try to talk it

out. so, within the last week or so, a woman saw that some -- there was a group of people outside her development, and she saw that they were setting off these fire crackers and fireworks. and there were children nearby. and so thee went over and talked to them and said, do you mind? you are going to hurt those kids so could you please stop? they were illegal anyway. what happens to her? one of the guys turns around and shot her 8 times. she just died in the hospital after being there. ainsley: 33 years old. trying to protect her kids. please don't shoot fireworks. steve: unbelievable. we will talk about all the violence across the country with chad wolf the acting department of homeland secretary. he is going to be with us two hours from right now. ainsley: lots of questions for him. president trump responds to the criticism over his happened ling of the covid-19 pandemic. exclusive sit down interview with our very own chris wallace. >> now, since june, it has gone

up more than doubled. one day this week 75,000 new cases, more than double. >> chris, that's because we had greatesting if we didn't test you wouldn't be able to show the chart. >> in isn't burning embers this is a forest fire. >> we will put out the flames and put out in some case burning embers. griff: the u.s. topping 140,000 deaths nationwide. 3.8 million americans have tested positive. >> the state of florida reporting 10,000 cases the last five days and the state of kentucky set a single high day for the state after reporting 979 cases on friday. you know, it always comes down to you wonder how many people are involved in this and about the icu beds and about the fatalities. and i saw that in kentucky, louisiana, oregon, and south carolina, ainsley, in your home state, they set records for new

infections. and then it looks as if in the state of florida and i know we have a lot of people watching down there right now. over 100 hospitals have maxed out their icu adult beds. apparently there are about 1200 adult icu beds listed open in the state and 80,000 of the state's 350,000 cases have happened in the last seven days. ainsley: we were hoping it was going to get better in some states obviously it has not. it has gotten worse. and congress is meeting today. and they are talking about this next relief bill, this covid-19. that's on the agenda. democrats want one thing. democrats want another. democrats want to spend a lot of the money. the most money ever on a bill. mcconnell saying about 1 trillion package he has on the table. republicans are worried about the liability limits and chris wallace pressed the president on this and he said he will not sign it if it doesn't have. i would consider not signing it if it doesn't have the payroll

tax cut. those are two things that are very important to the president and to most republicans. he is saying. steve: ainsley, a lot of republicans don't want it. ainsley: you are right. chris did say that he said some are cold on this. steve: a lot of them. ainsley: the president did say he wants protections for businesses. at your business and i am suing your businesses. protection for businesses. here is what kevin mccarthy said about his expectations for the new stimulus. >> a number of things should be in that package but we also have a large amount of money, more than about 1.5 trillion still out there that we have lore appropriated that we need to get into this economy. but the things i look for, the things we need to do we need liability of protection. because these small businesses are questioning whether they can open again. our schools and others. let's protect those as we move forward. let's also look at any time you are using federal money, it shouldn't give you a -- deincident sent advise the

ability to work. we made a mistake overpaid on unemployment insurance hard for people to come back to work because they're making more on unemployment than working got to straighten that out before we move forward. griff: mccarthy and mcconnell will go back to the white house sit down with mnuchin and others to figure out what they can present. democrats upset because they were left out of what mcconnell was put they are a far ways apart. pelosi wants a $3 billion giant deal. the house passed that mcconnell is much leaner at 1 trillion that is 3 trillion vs. 1 trillion. here's the point. on july 31st, those boosted unemployment benefits run out and many americans that have been counting on that since this all began in march are really paying attention to this. we will find out where things go. but it's going to be a bumpy start monday. we will see where we end up later in the week. steve: because it's an election year.

and there are a number of senators in states where their democrat opponents opponents have made coronavirus one of the central themes of their campaign. we have heard, according to the polls, although the president said yesterday he does not believe the polls, they are make follows polls, the federal response has been pour. a lot of the country has rated it. it will be interesting. one other thing, if you liked the last check you got for 1200 bucks sounds like there will be another check. the size of which sun known today. ainsley: president did say something that's very concerning to my age group and a lot of my friends i was talking to over the weekend and that's schools reopening. the president wants all these schools to reopen. if they don't open he won't fund them. he said in new jersey, steve, in your state, thousands of people that were tested, one person bloat age of 18 died and he said i believe that person ha h. diabetes. steve: so there is a lot going on in washington. they are talking about money but at the same time they are talking about how to slow the spread. we will keep you posted on this monday morning, griff.

griff: that's right. you know, it looks like there will be possibly money for schools to try and reopen. that will be a very interesting thing to watch. i will tell you who is open for business this monday morning. that is jillian mele with headlines. jillian: always. good morning to you guys and good morning at home. let's begin with a fox news alert. a desperate search for kaler after a federal judge's son is shot and killed and her husband left in critical condition inside their home. police say the gunman was dressed as a fedex driver when he visited the new jersey home of u.s. district court judgesster salas. the fbi tweeting they are looking for the suspect. we will have a live report later this hour. today, georgia democrats will review a list of candidates to replace john lewis on the ballot for his congressional seat. 131 people applied. the pick could be announced as soon as tonight. this as lewis' family finalizes plans for his funeral. no official details have been announced. lewis died friday at the age of

among the worst i have been to. steve: a manhunt has intensified in the state of florida while found murdered fishing trip. son called and said help. upgrade from the sheriff grady judd. good morning to you. for you to say you have been in this business for a long time but to say this is one of the most brutal things have you ever seen, that says a lot about what happened out there. >> yes, steve this was a horrible event. far end of our county under 3,000 square miles. aas far as in the country as can you get. what's more wholesome on a friday night than three best friends going fishing. before they ever got to the lake they were met with tragedy in which they were not only just murdered, they were massacred

and it was a horrific scene. my detectives have worked around the clock since friday evening. we are following up dozens of leads and quite frankly fox and all of their coverage has helped us a lot. but we are not there yet. we don't know who killed these three friends. and, let me describe, they are just country folks, hard-working folks that get up every day and make their way through life and they were out doing what they loved best. and they died for it. steve: they went out to a lake. that was their plan to go fishing on a friday night. i used to do that when i was growing up. >> sure. steve: sheriff, is there any inclination that perhaps the assailants were known to these three young men? >> we get no indication of that at this point in the investigation. this is an old clay road that goes to no place but orange groves, cow pastures and a lake.

but we do know that according to information we have developed that the kids hang out and drink and party and use dope. so we don't know if they met their nefarious people who killed them as a result of just driving to a fishing place and bumping into people who didn't like the fact that they were there. steve: could have been in the wrong place at the wrong time. i know brandon rawlings was able to call his dad and he simply said help. and his dad knew he was at the lake. the dad took off and got to his son and apparently the son was still alive. he was clinging to life. and he told the father a little -- he said some words but i read one report, sheriff that apparently the dad was so shaken up by the fact that his son was dying he wasn't paying attention to what his son was saying. >> is there was a conversation. and we're not releasing the

details of that. but that is exactly correct, steve. he was so shaken up and instead of using his son's cell phone to dial 911, he jumped up, when he discovered he didn't have his cell phone and ran back to a convenience store about 10 minutes away. you can only imagine the horror for this father when he shows up and there is his son and his two best friends who are shot and already dead. and his son dying literally in his hands. steve: that's terrible. sheriff, the community must be e in shock. >> they absolutely are the frost proof community is way down in the south end of our county. it's a big citrus area, farming area. our metropolitan areas are way to the north of there. so you can imagine this is not something that happens once a decade or once a lifetime to -- this is something these folks imagines happens in big city

centers. certainly not in a country road to no place other than a lake and orange groves. so they were really shook up. and the feedback tip yet. steve: i know if anybody has any information, they are urged to call your sheriff's department. the phone number is 863-298 863-298-6200. sheriff sheriff thank you very much for the update. good luck finding these people. >> steve, thank you so much. have great day. steve: terrible story. thank you, sir. u.s. navy is being called in to help hospitals in the state of texas they face a spike in covid cases. dr. janette nesheiwat has been working on the front lines herself and says help is much needed.

someone to help manage a ventilator. someone to help pass out medications. so having this extra support is truly going to help reduce the burden on healthcare workers, on hospitals. because they are right now being stretched thin and really going to help bring down the numbers. we have already seen for the first time in the past week the -- fortunately the number of daily deaths have dropped less than 100. so that's very good news to see so far on monday morning. ainsley: our military, including the u.s. navy, obviously and our first responders are so important and they are his or hs throughout. this amen. ainsley: what exactly will they be doing? you have been in the hospitals, what do you need help with? >> sure. so, first of all, having ppe is protective gear, masks, gowns, gloves, having doctors, nurses, respiratory techs, someone to help manage the equipment. someone to help manage a patient on a ventilator, provide oxygen and medication. expand the bed capacity. that's very important. we have over 10,000 patients

hospitalized right now in the state of texas. so we want to get those numbers down but, in the meantime, we need all the support and resources that we can just like if you recall here in new york, we had our president send in the uss comfort. i watched the ship come in and it gave me chills. when we need all the resources we need this will help drive down the transmission in addition to adhering to the cdc guidelines of masks and physical distancing and that sort of thing. ainsley: our thoughts and prayers are with these states. we have been through it in new york. we hope it works out and those people are healed and numbers decrease. i watch lennox hill a reality show on netflix. my heart goes out to you and first responders. after watching that you realize what they went through. reality show based on covid. god bless you. thanks for being with us. >> thank you. ainsley: you are welcome. despite calls for police reform,

criminal defense attorney shot multiple times. critical but stable condition new york hospital. investigating the shooting looking for just one suspect. right now no one is in custody and the motive is unclear. salas is the first latina to serve as a federal district court judge in new jersey. nominated to her current position by former president barack obama. she has heard many high profile cases, including some involving gangs. abc news reporting salas has received threats in the past. right now unclear if she was the intended target. the associated press reporting salas was recently assigned to a case brought by deutsch bank investors who claimed the bank failed to monitor high risk customers including jeffrey epstein. she previously sentenced real housewives of new jersey star to prison for fraud. this story is still very new and developing. we will bring you updates throughout the morning.

back to you. steve: what a story. all right, todd, thank you very much. on this monday morning bring in dan bongino former secret service guy, no, police officer. he has done it all. dan, we have been talking about the violence and protests across the country, seattle and portland. here in new york, eric adams, the brooklyn borough president and he used to be a police officer. he said if you have a problem with one of your neighbors. don't call 911, just go troy to talk to thetryto talk to them. this woman by the name of walls asked people to stop setting off illegal fireworks because there was a group of kids right there. do you know what they did? they shoot her 8 times. she just died. that's the whole idea behind some of this co-responder activity that some towns are talking about while redistributing police money it's to send out a social worker, send out somebody without a gun

to try to appeal to people who are breaking the through stop it. >> yeah. this was, in this case, tragically bad advice. i mean, could you think of a worse outcome? the answer is of course you can't. there is no worse outcome. you know, steve, i have been speaking out on the network about this often. and eric adams was a police officer. i know who eric adams is. having been former nypd myself. he has spoken out against some of mayor de blasio's awful policies to be fair on this. but this was really brutally horrible advice. let me tell you why. easy to pile on. suggestions that maybe we don't need a police officer at these scenes. maybe we need a social worker. this advice is typically given outlines of eric adams who was a police officer by people who have no experience with policing what so ever. steve, my experience with policing, having been there actually on the streets, the

reason you get called to say a mental health scenario 911 is because the situation is not controllable by the people involved. if you have someone in your household with some kind of a mental health condition and, you know, it's manageable. you typically call your psychologist and psychiatrist and it gets handled. maybe worse case scenario you wind up in the emergency room. if you are calling the police, it's usually because what we would call at that point a violent edp. a violent emotionally disturbed person. i don't think people get that. that's the reason the cops show up in these mental health scenarios. again you don't get a lot of these folks don't call the cops if the fireworks are going up. don't call up mental health scenario because have you never been there you don't understand why it happens. i'm not an anchor for "fox & friends." i don't know what you do every day. i have guest hosted. i don't have no idea how it works every day. i don't comment on it. people who comment on policing who are in public responsibility are literally getting people

hurt is literally a damn shame. i wish it wasn't happening. i wish they would educate themselves first. ainsley: eric adams says his heart does go out to the family. our call is to continue building an ecosystem of public safety includes community response and police. whenever someone exhibits violence we should call the police. whenever we can communicate peacefully with our neighbors we should do so. let me get to the next topic. tim scott great senator from south carolina is calling on democrats. he is upset because a lot of these democrats are saying they might not come to the table to talk about police reform now because they want to wait until 2021. here he is yesterday. >> it would be easy for us to find the right voices in congress if the democrats were to come to the table. this is an issue issue fo easy . federal reform of police. easy thing to do because we don't control local law enforcement. we can do things that encourages

incensed compels behavior. bottom line there is one place to go for leadership. the democrats have diffused leadership. there is chaos, i see anarchy in the streets. this is not in the best interest of the most vulnerable communities that are typically communities of color living in poverty. ainsley: dan, have we forgotten what this was all about in the beginning? it was george floyd. you look at the numbers in chicago over the weekend, teenagers killed. do we have time to wait any more, more months, more years to work on police reform as a country? >> you know, let me answer your question directly. no. you and i haven't forgotten near have griff or steve or anyone else on this network. the democrats have. i'm very sorry. the democrats had -- listen, let me be candid with you i don't even agree with a lot of the tenets of senator scott's police reform bill. i applaud him for taking on the issue. that's what people in power should do if they think they can fix a problem. i don't believe all those fixes

were actual fixes. having said that the democrats were never interested in police reform. i hope some of the viewers understand that here's what they are really interested in. democrat police reform. they want to reform they could go and use as a political football to say hey, look what we did. not look what the country did. and, again, i'm saying that from someone who doesn't actually agree with a lot of the tenets of the bill. they did not want police reform. can we all just put that aside? they wanted democrat police reform. believe me when i tell you, ainsley, you get anyone with a few beers in a bar on capitol hill they will tell you what i'm telling is you absolutely true. they wanted to take credit for it. if the republicans did it, it was the greatest bill in the world they were going to shut it down it didn't matter. griff: dan, let me ask you, on friday we had a little bit of news that is lindsey graham senate of the judiciary committee released a 57-page document of the interviews with the steele dot yea's primary source completely debunking it

and indicating that peter strzok may have known about it. this comes as we are still waiting for the durham investigation to complete. we were told i it would be this summer. mark meadows was asked about maria bartiromo about 2456789 here is what meadows said. >> i think the american people expecting indictments. i know i expect indictments based on the evidence i have seen. lindsey graham did a good job in getting that out. we know they only not knew there wasn't a case they continue to investigate and spy and yes, i use the word spy, on trump campaign officials. you're going do see a couple of other documents come out in the coming days that will suggest that not only was the campaign spied on, but the fbi did not act appropriately as they were investigating. it's all starting to come unraveled -- to unravel. i tell you it's time that people go to jail and people are

indicted. griff: key take away, more to come. dan, your reaction? dan: i want everyone in america to understand the bombshell this stuff was that came out this weekend. we now know, for an absolute fact, that a fraud was committed on the fisa court, that christopher steele's source for all this information, you know all the gross stuff and the ridiculous collusion stuff we now know for a fact that that source himself said no, no. most of that stuff was just garbage and people in the fbi and department of justice swore it was true despite knowing in january of 2017 it was garbage. swore to it multiple times saying it was true. a fraud was committed on this country. a literal fraud. and it's a disgrace. griff: so criminal prosecutions? do you predict that, dan? do you think we will actually see that? >> gosh, i'm not sure, griff. i have been let down some times on this. i will leave with you. this there is no question. no question amongst reasonable people a fraud was committed on the court. where the doj goes, i don't

know. i'm out of predictions game. i have been disappointed before. steve: stay tuned for that dan, thank you very much. have a good week. >> thanks, guys. steve: all right. 14 minutes before the top of the hour and janice dean joins us on the hottest week of the year so far. janice: for the east coast, definitely. it's going to feel well over 100 degrees for a lot of these big cities. we have heat advisories, heat warnings in place with the heat and the humidity combined it's going to feel oppressive. take all precautions. see the forecast heat index this afternoon yes well over 100 degrees for many millions of people including areas across new england. now, we are also watching an area of disturbed weather over the caribbean this time of year things start to ramp up, expecting this low pressure to move into the gulf of mexico. we're certainly going to have to watch it over the next couple of days. there is your forecast today. again showers and thunderstorms for parts of south florida, the gulf coast. hot, sticky temperatures across the east coast. and still remains warm over the

southwest as well. all right. we'll keep it cool. back to you, griff and steve and ainsley. ainsley: thank you, janis. it's 47 minutes after the top of the hour. kanye west hitting the campaign trail for the very first time answered gets emotional. >> saved my life. my dad went -- there would have been no kanye west. ainsley: lawrence jones is here to react to kanye west's event. that's coming up next. ...or this.... ...or even this... ...we've seen and covered it. so, get a quote today. ♪ we are farmers. bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum ♪ walk to end alzheimer's alzheis everywhere.tion 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.

first campaign stop? >> good morning, griff. you know, i was watching the response as well as watching the scene yesterday. and it seemed like most of the people that have a lot to say about this speech only saw portions of it there is a lot of stuff making headlines. what i hear from kanye is what i have been hearing from him for years. i have listened to his music for years. i interviewed him. he talked about the democratic party and what they have done for black america. he talked about ownership and people being a part of boards. his own experience on being a part of boards. he talked about owning wealth and how important that was and dangers of social media. he talked about him learning and this not really being a campaign for the presidency but more of a movement. and then he -- let's get to some of the headlines that you keep hearing people talk about was how did he feel about pro-life issues? it was very deeply personal for

him as all things are with kanye. he talked about the potential of aborting his first child and kim kardashian not wanting to do that and how painful it was to him now realizing the dangerous effects of that so, again, there was a lot talked about. as i continue to tell people, this is not about some presidency for kanye. and he said that in his speech yesterday. this is about a movement for kanye. if you think this is just about some dumb campaign, i think you haven't been following kanye long enough. griff: you know, lawrence, kanye said everybody who has a baby gets a million dollars. campaign promise obviously couldn't fulfill. here is my question. i have 18-year-old daughter do the young voters who may not be inclined to even bother to go out in sout president. would they perhaps tuned in to kanye and think about vote for kanye which would how impact the

election take away from biden or trump? >> i don't see it actually -- like i said, this is not about a campaign. most of us say he can't even get on the ballot right now. i guess some people can write him in but i don't think it's going to do that much of a, you know, difference in this campaign. this is why i know that it has -- kanye is a smart guy. this has nothing to do with a presidential election. again, i think it's important to know there is controversy about his remarks about harriet tubman and what she did. obviously she was a freedom fight early and spy for the union as well. kanye has got to continue to educate himself. griff: does kanye, lawrence, just get off of the trail and blurring it. took a first step. asking people to get him on the ballot in south carolina. you are saying he is not actually serious about running. >> yeah. i don't think is he serious about unking are. most political experts would tell you that he can't even get on the ballot in most states.

kanye has always been about the movement. and i understand people that are outsiders that are not used to, you know, watching kanye, they will follow the bouncing ball. that is by design with kanye. again, i think it's about getting his message out. a lot of young people going to be enlightened during this journey just like when he went on his gospel tour as well you saw kids parents couldn't get them to church but came because of kanye. griff: lawrence jones, thank you for your time. we will keep watching it. ain't easy being easy. stuart varney and marshall walker still ahead. great show ahead. stay with us. ♪ ♪ ta-da!

we heard that story last week just before the brawl on thee bs

their lives and their jobs and america. could be some of the change in the stats there about how people trust the president on the economy or trust joe biden on the economy. that could have something to do with this recovery from the dire debt that we were in in the economy in march, april, and may and early june. the recovery was supposed to go like that, i mean, straight up. and at first we did go straight up. but, now, we're beginning to slow that recovery a little bit. give you a couple of examples. we have delta airlines and united both scaling back the number of extra flights that they are going to be running this summer. delta was going to run an extra 1,000 flights every day in august. that's now going to be 500 flights a day in august. in other words, you have got a slowdown in this rapid recovery and that's maybe affecting the polls. it's not good news any way you slice it because we really do want a rip roaring economy and

the fact that it's slowing a little bit, just a little bit, not good news for the president and not good news for investors or for the economy. ainsley: this is affecting every single american. >> everyone. ainsley: u.s. companies were hoping to rebound very quickly. it doesn't look like that's going to happen. i'm reading ceos are overhauling strategies and staffing. how is this going to effect us going forward? >> look, if you have got a clamp down and reopen some states and then you clamp down all over again, you have got real uncertainty in all kinds of industries. steve: like california. >> like california, for example. anything associated with travel, hotels, restaurants, bars, airlines, cruise lines, travel booking companies, you name it, anything in that whole area, which is a vast area of the economy, that slows down all over again. and it's the result of the expansion of covid cases. so you are right, steve, there is a relationship between the performance of covid and its

recent expansion and the performance of the economy and its recent slowdown. steve: sure. i know all businesses are starting to rethink things like hospitals suddenly thinking maybe should be more involved in telemedicine than what we have done historically. so many of us looked at those models from march and april and it showed kind of the bell-shipped curve and showed by the end of may, the deaths were going to be way down and we were going to be out of the woods and the conventional wisdom was maybe it was impacted by the heat and things would die down. neither of those have proven to be true. >> no. so, it's a real problem for us all. we are all caught up in this. the worst thing in the world is a reclampdown after have you gotten used to being out there, out and about and trying to get back to normal, it really is tough when you have got restrictions reimposed on you. it is inevitable if the death rate goes up, not the death rate but the number of deaths, if that goes up and that is going

up, you got to expect some degree of reclampdown. it's happening. griff: quickly varney, before you run out of time. mitch mcconnell about to introduce his next phase 4. short answer important or not? >> very, very important. it's an absolute must. if you want to get people go back to the office or back to the factory, you can't have them turn around and saying well you forced me to come back, i got the virus, i'm suing. you do that and you close things down all over again. so liability protection is of paramount importance. griff: all right. we will see what comes. stuart varney, thank you. catch varney and company on fox business weekdays 9 a.m. to noon eastern. thanks, stuart. have a good one. steve: thank you. ainsley: thank you, stuart. 13 minutes after top of the hour and it now to another breaking story we are following. breaking search for a killer after a federal judge's son shot

was nominated by former president barack obama. abc news reporting salas has received threats in the past. right now though unclear if she wasth intended target. associated press reporting that salas was recently assigned to a case brought by deutsch bank investors who claimed the bank failed to monitor high risk including jeffre jeffrey epstei. theresa for a more than a year in prison to fraud in 2014. of course this story still developing. just happened yesterday about 5:00 p.m. bring you updates throughout the morning as we learn more. back to you. griff: all right. thanks, todd. let's hand it over to jillian and get headlines on this monday morning. good morning, jillian. jillian: good morning and we begin with this story. georgia will interview candidates to replace lewis on the seat.

coronavirus relief package. this son top of the largest economic rescue, of course, working with the trump administration. i anticipate that there will be additional stimulus funding really targeted towards families that need it the most. i also think we really need to focus on getting people back to work so you will see the importance of liability protection. not just for our small businesses but really any place of work, including colleges and universities and nonprofits. in addition, you will see robust funding for school districts. i know that parents, families are eager to get their kids safely back to school and our schools are going to need funding across the country to do it. i anticipate a strong bill focused on getting people back to work. focused on ensuring the health of everyone across the country and ensuring our countries get access to the education they need. ainsley: a lot of these schools asking for additional funding they have to buy sterilizer and masks and extra precautions and measures. if the schools don't open they

are not going to get funding. it's like 7%, 8% of federal money. and he says kids need to be in school. your reaction? >> sure. i agree that kids learn best when they are in school. and i know the school superintendents in my district have worked very hard to put forth new plans with updated operations that take into consideration the importance of public health. but we have learned a lot over the past six months of this health crisis, ainsley. one of the things we have learned that students, particularly those with special needs and disabilities have really struggled with the remote learning. in addition in my district we have a fundamental digital vibe those that have access to broad band and those that don't. we want to make sure that every student is able to continue their learning and they don't that kids areng behind. able to go back to school safely and it's going to be different. it's going to be updated. that will be a part of the covid relief bill is strong funding for our school district. ainsley: i know the health, education and labor committee is going to hold a hearing on how

to safely reopen schools. who is going to be involved in this? who are you going to get your advice from. >> get advice from experts, teachers, school administrators, from parents. and i'm particularly interested in what have we learned over the past few months about what is not working and how do we ensure that kids are getting access to the education they need. schools are going to update in terms of social distancing, they there will likely be temperature check force teachers and administrators. again, like the business community, which has learned a lot throughout this crisis, they are precautionary steps that we can take and we absolutely should take to protect the health and safety of all of the people that make our schools run with particular focus on ensuring our students get access to the education i need, particularly those with special needs and disabilities. ainsley: real quickly, are the democrats coming back to capitol hill? because i know nancy pelosi was wanting the proxy votes and telling people if they didn't feel comfortable they didn't have to come in. >> well, we have seen that democrats are abused that. there have been democrats at the

absolutely. you know, going through the neighborhoods and talking to everybody, everyone sees the writing on the wall right now. it's a state thing as well. we see what we believe is that people are too afraid right now to ask the president for help because if it does work, they are going to make the president look like a success. and it's a political move. and i believe what the fop president said, like i said in the last on your show, it's time to start putting people first. we are dealing with crime at biblical proportions right now in chicago. steve: just take a look. according to the "chicago sun times," there were 70 people shot over the weekend and 10 were killed and then you look at the increase in shootings up 75% compared to the same period last year. and then the mayor goes on to say we will not dignify this or any other political stunt. we will, however, continue to support the true hardworking men and women of the police

department. >> yeah. steve: do you agree with that? >> i pray every night that the mayor is getting behind our police department and support them the best of our ability. and on top of it, we are putting our men and women, our police officers out there. there is a justice movement going on right now where we had a statue in grant park they tried to tear it down. we had 30 officers protecting it against about 1,000 protesters it. looked like a scene out of 300. after this was all said and done when they vigilly attacked these officers. file reports against them. what message are we sending to our officers? we are either protecting them and backing them and saying take care of our city and help protect us or leave them out there and hoping that something good happens. >> and do you know what, anthony? 18 police officers were injured in that particular rally supposedly where they tried to

damage that particular statue. remember in the olden days when if you hurt a cop there were actual consequences? >> yeah. there was consequences. we had a state's attorney that was actually tough back in the day. right now we have emboldened society not afraid to do anything in the city of chicago because a the state attorney is not going to do anything and disruption movement going on right now. destroy the cities. destroy the country all based on election purpose. and people are tired of it. that's all anyone is talking about right now. it's time to stand up. it's time to protect our city and get behind our police officers and people were afraid. i was afraid. i grew up in a police family and that's the way i was brought up. >> are people sick of it and just saying enough of chicago. i'm moving to kansas city. i'm moving to some place else? >> you know, when i go out in the neighborhood, i can't walk more than 30 or 40 feet without someone saying i'm done. i'm moving out. i'm retiring. i'm getting out of here. i beg them to stay. i say there is better times ahead of us. it's hard to keep people here

reporting 979 cases on sunday. we now want to bring in surgeon general dr. jerome adams. thank you, dr. adams, for joining us today. where are the latest area of concerns? where are the spikes and what's being done to combat them? >> good morning. thank you so much for having me. it's important for everyone to know that first off we are seeing increase in cases in many spots across the country. but we're in a very different place than we were in february and in march. we have increased testing. we have topped 40 million tests. we have increased personal progressive equipment. treatments like remdesivir ands. important for people to know we don't want to treat our way out of the stop this epidemic is in the hands of the american people. this administration really fights to protect our freedoms, but we want people to know freedom comes with responsibility. part of that responsibility means wearing a face covering when you go out. washing your hands. trying to watch your distance

around other people. we know those are the keys for preventing cases so those then don't turn into hospitalizations and, unfortunately, turn into people dying. the one other point i would make is that the mortality rate is significantly lower now than what it was in february and in march. so those cases don't have to equal consequences. but as surgeon general i would rather us focus on prevention. ainsley: talking about prevention, let's talk about mask. the president says is he a believer in masks but he stopped short on the national mandate. what do you as the surgeon general say? i have heard republicans saying i support the president but i think that he should do a national mandate. i have heard republicans say don't tell me what i have to do. don't tell me i need to wear a mask. what do you say? >> in many cases we are letting the politics and the policy get in the way of the actual practice. i want everyone to know that the science tells us with the high degree of stom particular spread up to 50% of people are spreading coronavirus without knowing that they have it.

that's what asymptomatic or preasymptomatic means that face coverings are a way that we can reopen and that we can stay hope. that's what the science says. now, people are debating over whether or not you want to have a mandate. y'all were talking earlier what's going on in portland and the debate over whether we should bring in federal troops to other parts of the united states. if you are going to have a federal mandate you have to have a federal enforcement mechanism. right now as scientist and educator i would rather help people understand why they should cooperate with wearing a mask and how they benefit from it versus simply saying we are going to force you to do it particularly sending in federal troops and using federal mechanism. if you are going to have a mandate those work best at the local and state levels where you again have the ability to work with people, educate them and not let them feel like there is outside entity trying to tell them what to do where people very much rely on their freedom. that freedom comes with responsibility as i said. steve: country of france and england decided national

mandates only way to control it. your name came up mr. surgeon general over the weekend in the president's conversation. for the folks who heard it and those who did not, president's conversations on masks. >> will you consider a national mandate on people wearing masks. >> no. i want people to have a certain freedom and i don't believe in that. i don't agree with the statement that if everybody wore a mask everybody disappears. dr. fauci said don't wear a mask. our surgeon general terrific guy said don't wear activistma. everybody said don't wear a mask now all of a sudden everybody has got to wear a mask. with that being said i'm a believer in masks, i think masks are good. i leave it up to the governors. many of the governors are changing. they are more mask in to. they like the concept of masks. but some of them don't agree. steve: mr. surgeon general, i have heard that criticism of you and dr. fauci. you know, look, they got things wrong in the beginning they said don't wear a mask and then later you said wear a cloth mask. explain for us why you did say

don't wear a mask in the beginning but then that evolved? >> well, i just want to back up really quickly. you mentioned france and england. important to note there was a "new york times" article that came out just this weekend showing u.s. mask compliance. one of the things we are focusing on people aren't wearing face coverings. the united states actually has a high degree of mask compliance. our rates are better than france and better than england and better than tijuana and norway and finland according to that "new york times" article. a lot of people are doing the right thing. again in the beginning and as the president pointed out, we were wrong back in february and march based on the fact that we didn't think there would be this high of degree of asymptomatic spread of coronavirus. and that's based on every past coronavirus where most of the spread was by people who had symptoms, who had fever, who had cough. once we realized that the science was different for this virus, we changed our recommendations. as the president said this whole administration is supportive of

masks. the part that people aren't focusing on which they should the president said said i support masks. he was at walter reed last week and he wore a mask. moving forward i want people to understand we're all on the same page. we believe these are one of the most effective ways to open our country along with again making sure we are practicing social distancing and good hygiene. steve: mr. surgeon general let me follow up on that. we heard from dr. redfield a number of times over the last couple of days where he said if people wore masks, essentially if everybody wore a mask when they are around other people and they can't socially distance between 4 and 6 weeks we wouldn't have to worry about this because the infection rate would be driven down so far because we wouldn't be spreading it from person to person. you know, arrests the president looks at his poll numbers and clearly the coronavirus is taking its poll on that, if people actually did that, the number of people who were suffering from coronavirus in a month or a month and a half would be, where? >> well, great question. and i think a lot of people are

taking dr. redfield's comments and whittle ling them down. the totality of what he believes and we all believe it's about wearing face coverings it's again about making sure you are maintaining that six feet of distancing. about making sure restaurants indoors are less than 50% whenever possible that we are doing this in total and as dr. best of my recollection says if we do all of these things, we know we can significantly turn things around in the course of a matter of weeks to under two months. the disease course is about two weeks. that means things can get really bad really fast but also means they can improve really quickly. and i said that in two to three weeks we can turn around this rise in cases that we see in many places and as dr. redfield says if we do masks plus all the other things i mentioned, then in four to six weeks, two months, we can completely turn this around i think we are all on the same page. steve: seems pretty simple to me. it? >> is pretty simple. again, it relies on the

individual people of america doing the right thing. and that's why i'm pleading with your viewers, i'm begging you, please understand that we are not trying to take away your freedoms when we say wear a face covering. we are not trying to take away your ability to go out when we say keep restaurant capacity under 50%. we are saying if we do these things, we can actually open and stay open. we can get back to school, to worship, to jobs. we can do this. i'm a hopeless optimist. i really do believe that americans will do the right thing and that, again, we are focused because of politics on who is not. but, more people are wearing face coverings. a lot of people are doing the right thing. the government is here to support. we are sending teens into the problem areas to help them understand what they need to do in places like phoenix and places like miami and places like houston so that again, we can turn around these burning fires but then also make sure the rest of the country is doing the things to open and stay open. ainsley: all right. dr. adams thank you for being

it was incredible special last night with harris faulkner. i was really struck by your comments about the need to talk about the sensitive topics. expand on that. >> well, what i was talking about is, you know, race has been a sensitive topic for a long time. and we have been afraid to talk about it and today, i think if you disagree with someone, you are called a racist. i said, you know, these are very, very sensitive topics that we need to sit down and talk and not just put someone down because i think equality is what we need to be looking for. and, you know, sort of like we have so many things in common and not uncommon. but sitting down and talking is so short no one wants to listen. right now everyone is shouting but no one is paying attention or coming up with solutions. everybody want to put it on a back burner because i want what i want. well, what you want is not what the united states of america

needs, what the united states of america needs is to come together as a people and i mean as a people not black, white, yellow, brown. you need to come together as a people and solve the problem. griff: herschel, mark cuban also on the program agreed with you about this and said within sports, in particular, we need to listen to those conversations, they need to be had. yeah, i think mark was correct. that's one thing i wanted to say, i love because we live in the same city. i love to sit down with mark even more and talk with him because we had such a short conversation. he said a word he said we have had systemic racism for a long time. i think sometimes people use words that you say systemic racism. job if that's a word you want to use because we just got over a black president, you know, 20 years ago that would have never happened. i said we are moving forward. i had an opportunity to talk to

my mom she is in her 80s. i asked her mom when she grew up what happened. she said my nickname is bo, bo, things are different. i knew how to stay in my lane but things have gotten better and they continue to get better even though it's moving slowly but it is getting better. and i said that is the key, it is getting better but what we have to do as a people and i'm saying the united states of america as a people is to have our leaders to address these sensitive topics, these sensitive topics is to hold people accountable for things that they do. and i'm not taking anyone's freedom away, but i'm saying hold people accountable for what they do. and i think equality is what i'm talking about. griff: herschel, we are such as important inflex point o inflex. thank you for taking time this morning. we appreciate it. >> thank you.

seattle overnight. we learned at least 12 officers were hurt, one of them is now in the hospital. >> [street music playing] steve: rioters breaking windows at an amazon store, and also the same case at a macy's and also at a starbucks. there was also looting of businesses. two people have been arrested. police say rioters threw a device into a precinct's lobby, started a fire. thankfully nobody was hurt ainsley? ainsley: this as portland sees its 53rd straight night of protests. the mayor is blaming federal officers for escalating all the violence but the head of portland's police union says enough is enough. >> people who are out here every night that are rioting and burning and if they want to sit down and have a conversation we're more than willing to sit down and have that conversation, talk about a solution to what

the problems are. but if they are just coming out and rioting and loot that doesn't solve anything and that just divides us all more. ainsley: the comments coming after rioters set his office on fire on saturday. let's bring in the acting dhs secretary mr. chad wolf good morning to you, mr. secretary. >> good morning. ainsley: good morning. so you see what's happening in portland. i know that the president has sent in federal officers to guard all of the federal buildings there, the mayor is not happy about it. here is the mayor ted wheeler doubling down on blaming the federal troops for all the riots. >> the president has a complete misunderstanding of cause and effect. what's happening here is we have dozens if not hundreds of federal troops descending upon our city and what they're doing is they are sharply escalating the situation. their presence here is actually leading to more violence and more vandalism. we haven't asked them here in fact we want them to leave.

we're allteling the trump adminitration stop the rhetoric, take these people out of our city, they are not helping us, they are hurting us and what we're seeing is a blatant abuse of police tactics by the federal government, by trump adminitration is falling in the poll, and this is a direct threat to our democracy. ainsley: what's your response to that, secretary wolf? >> well, i believe it's a completely irresponsible comment what we know is before july 4, where we saw an escalation of violence in portland, before that time there was violence going, ongoing and dhs had had very few officers in the city. we know that violence before the courthouse, they were directed at the portland police department, in other city buildings, so the facts don't lie and the facts are that these violent anarchists and extremist s were violent, well before dhs surged federal assets into portland, but at the end of the day we're going to protect the courthouse and we're going to protect our law enforcement officers there and what we've seen and you

mentioned we have over 50 nights violent activity targeting federal facilities and federal law enforcement officers and it needs to stop. dhs is not going to back down from its responsibilities. we are not escalating. we are protecting again federal facilities and it's our job and what congress told us to do time and time again so we're going to do that. we're going to investigate and we're going to hold those accountable and arrest them and hold those accountable that are doing this destruction. steve: mr. secretary, there are a lot of questions being asked about exactly what the federal officers are doing in portland on social media over the last few days, video of agents or officers taking into custody a man suspected of destruction and putting them into an unmarked van, the attorney general out there, the mayor was referring to that i believe and the attorney general out there wanted to investigate. what is your reaction this morning to the criticism of that? >> so what we know is that the

local leaders in portland have fostered this environment that allows these individuals to again attack the courthouse and do these very violent acts, destructive acts night after night after night. they congregate around midnight and they go until about 4:00-4: 30 a.m. every single night while the portland leaders there do nothing about it so again, as dhs officers and law enforcement are protecting that courthouse as we see certain criminals take criminal acts, we're going to investigate and we're going to arrest them and we have the authority to do that we're not trying to escalate. we're trying to hold those folks accountable. what we're not going to do is allow them to attack a courthouse and simply step across the street on to city property and say you can't touch me. that's not how this works. if you're going to be a criminal , if you're going to do criminal acts we're going to arrest you and hold you accountable. most of our activity, almost all of our activity has taken place in the one, two or three blocks around that courthouse and will continue to do so.

there are other parts of city and other parts of portland that are having destructive acts taking place. dhs is not anywhere near that. we're focused on protecting federal facilities that is our mission and we're going to continue to do that. steve: it does seem that the feds are the only ones arresting anybody unless it gets really out of hand. mr. wolf i want to play for you mark meadows the chief of staff at the white house. he had this observation about what's going to perhaps come in the next week. watch. >> it's really about keeping our community safe and the president's committed to do that. some of the unrest that we saw even in the last month or so particularly last night and the week leading up to it in portland it's just not acceptable when you look at communities not being safe and not upholding the rule of law, so attorney general barr is weighing in on that with secretary wolf and you'll see something rolled out this week as we start to go in and make sure that the

communities whether it's chicago or portland, or milwaukee, or some place across the portland of the country, we need to make sure that our communities are safe. steve: mr. wolf i know you don't want to get ahead of the president of the united states but it sounds like some sort of executive action is coming. at the same time you look at what happened over the weekend and there was a protest and then a very organized group came in and infiltrated and then things went south. we heard the president a number of months ago talk about how he would like to designate antifa, a terrorist group and then we didn't really hear much after that. where is that? >> well what i can tell you and let me be clear about this. we continue to have a number of peaceful protests across the country. even in portland we see peaceful protesting and so that's again perfectly fine perfectly legal, and individuals are going to express their first amendment right and they certainly have the ability to do that and we support that. what we're talking about are these violent activities and once it crosses a line into the violence into the criminal acts that's where we're going to

focus so i was in portland. i saw businesses boarded up, 23 million in lost revenue because local officials there will not take action to stop this criminal activity. your lead-in also talked about seattle again overnight very very violent, a dozen law enforcement officers treated for injuries and we see other acts whether it's in atlanta, chicagoan elsewhere. i think the president has been very clear. he's not going to stand for this and we're going to continue to look at what we can do, surge resources into these resources to make them safer. at the end of the day it's about protecting americans in these cities from criminals and criminal acts and we'll continue to do that along with the department of justice and other federal entities. ainsley: yeah, do you think there should be, we're talking about all these different cities i just don't understand i can't wrap my head around why there is , why you have all of these local governments furious with federal help. they've made it so political. i just don't understand why they can't work together. how can we do that, excuse me, what the is your suggestion to the president or to these local

leaders on just working together to get rid of all the violence. >> right. well, ainsley, i think at the end of the day we need to put public safety over politics and unfortunately, again, i go back to portland and they're not doing that so the mayor decided to kick federal coordination officials out of his emergency management operations. that is a very dangerous move whether you like us or whether you don't like us, you need law enforcement officers talking to one another, making sure they're deconflicting information so there's not police-on-police incidents or violence. again he's putting politics over public safety and it's a very dangerous and i think that's happening in a number of communities and at the end of the day we want to make sure that these communities are safe that individuals that want to protest exercise their first amendment can do so but once it crosses that line that's where we need to step up. griff: mr. secretary let me ask you, you mentioned politics and we saw over the weekend house speaker nancy pelosi along with oregon's

representative blumenauer critic izing and blasting what you're doing in terms of restoring law and order in places like portland and seattle. your reaction? >> well i think a lot of comments that i've seen over the last 48 hours are just miss informed. they aren't accurate. they don't understand the authorities and the responsibility of the department of homeland security has. we protect over almost 9,000 federal facilities across the country. we did that 10 years ago we did it long before this civil unrest started and we'll continue to do that and so i don't need invitations by the state, state mayors or state governors to do our job. we're going to do that whether they like us there or not. that's our responsibility. now, first and foremost we want to work with them and we have great working relationships with a vast majority of local law enforcement; however there are some communities that again want to breed this environment that allows this lawlessness, so at the end of the day we're going to do our job. we're not going to apologize for it. we're going to do it professionally and do it correctly but again we're going

to protect those communities and federal facilities and our law enforcement officers that are putting their life on the line every day to protect these communities. steve: you may say you don't need an invitation but apparently the president of the united states got an invitation from the fraternal order of police president in chicago where over the weekend, 70 people were shot, 10 dead, he says the president needs to help stop the chaos because the mayor has been ineffective. we had with us, chad listen to this , a former police officer currently an alderman in chicago and given the crime, he worries about his personal safety for he and his family. >> when i go out in the neighborhood i can't walk more than 30-40 feet without running across someone saying i'm done, moving out, retiring getting out of here. i say there's better times ahead of us but it's hard to keep people here when we have an astro tammy bruce it call crime rate like you said 75% shootings are up, 65% murders

are up we're dealing with number s the best case scenario we're dealing with iraq numbers right now. war zone numbers. this is ridiculous. it's hard to raise three kids here right now that's how i feel i'm afraid for my three kids and my wife. steve: chicago is war zone numbers, chad, as we look at a demonstration that turned violent, where 18 police officer s guarding that statue were injured on friday. >> well not only are individuals just every day citizens leaving places like chicago, seattle, new york, and elsewhere, but you also have law enforcement officers that are saying enough is enough i'm going to take retirement and i'm going to leave as well. that obviously that's a problem but also the recruiting and the retention is a problem. we need to make sure that we're attracting the best and the brightest to our law enforcement agencies so again, putting politics over public safety is going to not only have a detrimental effect in the short-term, but also in the long term and the president has been very clear. again in these major

metropolitan cities the state and locals if you aren't doing your job at some point we will have to take action and make sure that those communities are safe. ainsley: thank you so much chad for being with us or mr. secretary we appreciate it. >> great. thank you. ainsley: you're welcome let's hand it over to jillian with headlines. jillian: good morning and we start with a fox news alert. a desperate search for a killer after a federal judge's son is shot and killed and her husband left in critical condition inside their home. police say the gunman was dressed as a fedex driver when he visited the new jersey home of u.s. district court judge sal as. the fbi tweeting they are looking for one suspect. we will have a live report later this hour. >> the u.s. now topping 140,000 deaths nationwide nearly 3.8 million americans have tested positive for covid-19. florida reporting at least 10,000 cases over the last five days and kentucky has set a single day high for the state after reporting 979 cases on

really going into it we were there to help the protesters peacefully march across the bridge or peacefully protest against the protesters, and what happened was there were a group of individuals that wanted to disrupt that protest with weapons and with gear, and unfortunately, they surprised us a little bit. steve: yeah, no kidding. you were in the hospital a couple of days. tell us about your injuries. >> yeah, i suffered a fractured orbital lobe and i needed emergency surgery. steve: i'm sorry about that. what about the people who allegedly did this? the person who allegedly assaulted you. where are they now? >> well numerous police officer s were assaulted on that bridge that day. i was never hit with a stick.

i was assaulted by someone else that had like brass knuckle-type jewelry and what i was informed with. i was really blinded during this so i couldn't really tell and i was assaulted by several individuals on that bridge. steve: and are any of them in jail right now, lieutenant? >> as far as i know, i think they are almost all out. steve: they were all released? >> they were either released or bail was posted. steve: lieutenant you've been in this business a long enough time remember in the old days when if you hit a cop or you assaulted a cop you would go to jail and for assaulting people. i've been on this police department i just hit my 25th year anniversary and i am devastated of what's happening to the people of the city that really need the police, including us. steve: well we need the police but at the same time, and i know

you don't want to talk about the leadership of the community, but this is a time when it is really hard to be a cop in new york city and other metropolitan areas. >> it's very difficult. i've also, i teach use of force, i was an adjunct professor and i still am and i believe in policing. i believe in the constitution. i also trained rookie police officers for many years and i've trained more officers more than most departments have, and proudly, and some amazing officers that i've trained are now commanding officers, and they've been outstanding and i'm proud of all of the work that i've donald the work that these brave men and women in blue have done. steve: indeed. lieutenant you just said you've had over 25 years on the force. you could retire, after the week you've had, i bet i'm not going to put words in your mouth but if i were in your shoes i'd be thinking about moving to florida

too. >> [laughter] well listen i was born and raised in new york city and i'm not going anywhere. the new york city police department isn't going anywhere either. steve: but at the same time when we see what's happening to our officers who are being hand strung and it's harder and harder to do your job you've got to wonder, why do i do this? >> you know, i ask myself that same question, and i think of there was a young child i think his name was gardner, a one- year-old child who was murdered in brooklyn, and someone has to stand up and not allow that to happen, and i think about all of the officers that i've trained over the years and if somebody attacks one of those officers i'm going to be right there next to them to make sure it doesn't happen either. steve: well that is great, that's a great sentiment and once again we're sorry about your injuries and of course we all hope that justice is done in this case, because you've devot

ed your life to keeping the people safe here in new york city. >> yeah, listen, i've been through the hard times of the 90 s. i've been through 9/11, i have asthma from 9/11. i lost people that i worked with on 9/11. i've lost partners from 9/11- related illness, and on sunday when i was being released from the hospital, a great sargent that i worked within the strategic response group, he had been a military guy, he had only been retired a few years and he just died of 9/11 illness we've lost more officers to 9/11 illnesses than we did during 9/11. i've worked with some great hero s, and they need to be acknowledged and never forgotten steve: they do indeed. well we certainly admire what you do and we were talking before, we got started. you've been on the force so long , once upon a time, you

worked with a rookie cop by the name of, i think, dan bongino back in the street, back in the day. >> yes, i did and then he went on to bigger and better pastures , i don't know the secret service. steve: well, he served his nation as well just like you. lt. richard mack, new york city police department strategic response group thank you very much. >> thank you very much. steve: all right thank you. there you go. 8:27 here in new york city. still ahead, breaking overnight. in new jersey, across the river a federal judge's son shot and killed in her own home. the gunman dressed as a fedex driver. nancy grace here to react as we learn more about the case, next. - i didn't know why my body was moving on its own.

walk to end alzheimer's alzheis everywhere.tion 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. steve: we are back with this fox news alert a federal judge's son is killed and her husband in critical condition after being shot inside their new jersey home. the suspect, dressed as a fedex driver. robert moses from our fox affiliate in new york joins us live from the city. robert good morning to you. what is the latest? >> griff, good morning to you. as you can see behind me the judge's home on this quiet

residential street in central new jersey remains off limits. it's still a crime scene about 15.5 hours after that gunman dressed as a delivery man arrived and carried out this heinous act, he shot and killed judge esther salas's 20- year-old son daniel a student at catholic university also a very avid baseball player and the gunman injured the judge's husband whose a defense attorney according to the associated press, judge salas was in the basement at the time and not hurt. there's no word on any motive in this case. judge salas is a trailblazer for sure and nominated to the bench by president obama back in 2011 and confirmed and when that happened she became the first hispanic woman to be seated on the u.s. district court in new jersey. she works in newark, she recently presided over the trial , you might have heard about the trial involving the real housewives of new jersey couple theresa and joe this morning the fbi says it is

looking for a single gunman and again, the motive in this attack remains unclear, but this loss is deeply felt in this neighborhood. griff? griff: robert thanks very much, robert moses in new jersey and we now want to bring in fox nation host nancy grace for the latest on this. nancy good morning to you. troubling story this morning and the motive unclear, but clearly, judge salas had ties to criminal cases. what do you make of it? >> well number one, getting threats for a judge or a prosecutor is actually common place. the first within i got was faxed to me from the fulton county jail but very rarely do these threats actually, are they ever executed, to look at the facts here much has been made byfact s been assigned a case that is jeffrey epstein-related. i don't think that has anything

to do with this. she just got that case which involves deutsche bank this past thursday. she hasn't even had a chance to make a ruling in it yet. i don't think that's it. yes she's presided over cases involving the crypts, the blood s, gangs, you name it like every other judge. take a look at what happened. the judge, we think, was in the basement. the husband, a defense attorney, was shot multiple times and his son was shot dead through the heart. how much more can you hurt a mother than to take her only child? but i would put it out there that if you're targeting the judge, you would go after the judge. also 5:00 on a sunday afternoon? i can guarantee you if this guys a fedex delivery guy he didn't do very much to conceal his identity. right now they need to be looking at that bullet, put it through the data bank to see if the gun has been used elsewhere,

canvas the neighborhood, look for video cams in the home, and stoplights in the area, and look for that vehicle. that's what they need to be doing right now. griff: we follow that now quickly i want to get you to the ghislaine maxwell story which you have covered so well for fox nation. her lieutenant may be arrested. what do you predict? >> well i predict that since ghislaine maxwell has been arrest arrested and is behind bars right now awaiting the resolution of her case that the rest of the house of cards will fall in. other young girls point to other women that groom them, that recruited them. there are around at the time of the molestations, they were little girls as young as 14 years old. i predict they too will be arrested and may turn state's witness against ghislaine maxwell. griff: very interesting, and you can watch ghislaine maxwell investigation with nancy on fox nation, sign up and get your first month for just $0.99 nancy grace always a pleasure thank you very much we'll follow those cases. >> thank you. griff: just 106 days to go until election day and president trump

is predicting he'll win big in november. is he right? ben shapiro is on deck. (announcer) now more than ever, it's important to lose weight,

how how to destroy america in three easy steps" congratulations on that, ben we'll get to that but first let me get your reaction. you heard what the president said about joe biden. joe biden's campaign manager is saying this. she says for over a year, donald trump and his campaign have stifled through the same self-defeating attacks against joe biden and has failed to get traction on a single one. your thoughts? >> well, i mean the simple fact is that president trump of the radical left is entirely correct and it's very true that if joe biden becomes president then you'd probably become for the radical left. the problem is that joe biden is a not alive person doesn't make a great opponent in trying to attack him as someone who is radical and bernie sanders were the nominee for the deputies that would make it a lot easier for president trump but the difficulty here is that president trump is right but joe biden doesn't look like the face of somebody whose particularly radical especially because he was nominated in direct opposition to sanders. griff: yeah, so ben let me get your take on a new fox news

poll, because you know, your book, which is such a great read , kind of addresses some of this and that is about the founders and their intentions. now the fox news poll shows that 63% described our country as heros, 15% villains, 15% it depends and 7% couldn't even answer the question they don't know. what's your reaction? >> well the fact that only 63% of americans describe the founders as heros is devastating. that means that 37% of americans do not describe the founders as heros they describe them as either villans or i don't know and if you look at the racial cross-tabs it's really devastating and you look at the black community according to the black americans believe that founders were villains rather than heros which is devastating, if you believe the country was founded on sin and evil it's going to be very difficult to reach the sort of national unity that we require in order to move forward and i think that is something the radical left has had is this narrative that president trump was talking about right there. steve: sure and ben some of

these same themes are popping up in your book how to destroy america in three easy steps, aren't they? >> absolutely. i mean, my book is really about how if a nation is to move forward it has to have a common philosophy which is the declaration of independence, it has to have a common culture a culture of tolerance but also a culture of defense of right and culture of entrepreneurship and the country has to have a common history and share history and believe that we are all part of the same great stream of american history, trying to justify those founding principles, falling short, but eventually succeeding. if we don't believe in those things the country falls apart and left, one by one, members of the left not even normal liberals and members of the radical left who moved into the mainstream halls of democratic power tried to destroy each of these and the declaration of independence is now bad and the constitution of the united states is now bad and american history is 1619 project as opposed to the 1776 project all of this spells doom for our country of unity and essentially just means the only thing holding us together is government power. ainsley: why do you think we're seeing all of these riots?

what's the real reason because it doesn't seem to be george floyd. a lot of people feel like he's been forgotten. >> i mean, nicole jones whose the founder of the 1619 project was essentially bragging on twitter these were the 1619 riots this is just the final flowering of a program that began decades ago, to basically rewrite america's history and to suggest that america has not progressed at all even since the civil rights era, which is of course an absolute lie. i think the fact that president trump is president and that this has devastated the left. they literally thought they were going to be in charge for the rest of time after barack obama's presidency and then trump was obviously the answer to that. i think that has generated an awful lot of radical feeling on the left and that is flowered here, in the lead-up to the election and my suspicion is that if joe biden is elected you'll see a lot of this go away at least for a little while while the left stops humoring its own radicals. griff: so ben what we're seeing part of what you described in your book as an ideology of disintegrationism. >> absolutely, disintegration

ism is the idea that the countries ties that usually bind us they have to fall apart so we can build something new on the ashes and you see this openly talked about these sort of "anti-racist" movement is all about this. the systems of america are so full of racism and evil they have to be torn down and if you're complicit in any systems and i mean like capitalism or the constitutional system of government if you are complicit in any systems you are in fact in racism you have to fight those systems in order to be anti-racist and what that means is you want to tear down the system and unfortunately that project has a lot of adoptions not just on college campuses where it started but now in the halls of mainstream media and in the halls of corporations and in the halls of government. steve: sure and right now, ben, the number one charge of government is to try to figure out how to handle this pandemic, the coronavirus pandemic. the president has gotten a lot of criticism for the federal response. where do you see us being right

now as we respond? >> i mean, look i think everybody is doing their best i really do. i live in a democratic state i'm not real fond of our governor in california, gavin newsom but most people are trying to do their best. the great lie that you're seeing is there is an obvious and absolute answer to all of this like lockdowns and if those don't occur when everybody is going to die. i think if the answers were all that obvious they be applied. the fact is everybody is trying to deal with an unprecedented situation. i think president trump' response in terms of his actual policy has been very good and the media has been attempting focus in on his rhetoric a lot more than focusing in on his policy. if you focus in on his policy you'd see people like gavin newsom and andrew cuomo mentioning trump gave them the resources they need when they needed them. the fact it has become political as opposed to just a question of let's all do the best we can to get back to a functioning economy and a functioning life in america, while stopping the pandemic the fact this has become political is just an indication as to loose we are in terms of national unity. ainsley: ben thanks so much congratulations on the new book. >> thanks. ainsley: you're welcome still

ainsley: an all-american rescue, one utah family enduring a three -hour hike to save a 50- pound american flag. for almost a decade the nord family gathered on independence day to help raise the massive flag in little willow canyon. well last year, when they noticed that it was missing, they rallied to save old glory and here, on why this rescue was so important to them, is darren, will, debbie and lexie good morning to all four of you and your dogs. >> [laughter]

good morning. ainsley: good morning so lexie, i understand you were the one that realized the flag you had just put up or your community just put up on july 4 was down, right? >> yes. ainsley: okay so tell us the story what did you do next? >> i was on a walk with my dad and it was nice and windy, and i repeat that and he's like it is? and i said yes, right up there and my little brother climbed up and found it and shoved it down to the ledge. ainsley: will were you scared to climb up there? it looks pretty rocky. >> it was. it was really rocky. kind of had to make your own path all the way up there. i wasn't really scared i wasn't thinking about the consequences. ainsley: darren and debbie i know you all are so proud of your kids i be if my child did something like this. darren what was your reaction when lexie called you and said i think the flag is down.

>> well actually, we got called from neighbors and text messages saying hey the flags down, and before this all happened i was helping and fundraising whenever we had vandalism, we had three bad years where we had vandalism where the flag was even shot nine times, so we kind of anticipated potential vandalism this year, especially with all the hype, so when i got the call i immediately grabbed, you know, started yelling for all of the kids that we got to go, so we just went without anything prepared and we didn't have a backpack or anything to carry it down, we went to find out what the problem was so we drove up to where the flag was at, near the canyon, and then i grabbed the neighbor and my kid just took off and just started going up the mountain so they were out of sight, and so i'm like yelling for them and that's when i called lexie and she was way up on top of the cliff and looking down, and she says i see

it right there. i'm like where? right in front of you and we had already climbed up before that, and we couldn't see it because there was still another ravine right in front of us, so we had to go down and back up again. ainsley: debbie what does the flag mean to you and your family? >> we have great respect for the flag and we love this country, and we love seeing flag flying in the canyon. it means a lot to us and a lot to our community. we just really appreciate that our neighbors do it and it's just a great reminder of the sacrifices that people came before us and very patriotic about it. ainsley: gosh it's beautiful we're looking at the video that you shot of it when it was hanging up. are you going to hang it back up >> not this year unfortunately. the flag has been tattered and torn and we're really sad about

that and we need equipment and we need to raise more money to be able to get the flag back up next year. ainsley: all right, well, go ahead. >> he had to do this all on his own funds when this started but when he went to go have the time to do all of the repairs it's like we can't be doing that. it's a community effort so that's why when i took it upon myself to go on social media and raise money to help pay for the repairs. ainsley: you're a patriot for doing that so if you at home want to donate here is the information you can search little willow american flag project and it's a gofundme page you could google it, find the story on our website if you are not in front of the computer right now. thank you guys so much god bless you all. >> thank you. ainsley: you're welcome. we have more "fox & friends" just moments away.

>> that worked out so well. we've been renewed, going to do the same show three hours starting day. >> this is a killed and her husband critically injured in an attack at their new jersey home. police say the judge's husband was shot as he opened the door to the families of north

brunswick home sunday afternoon and her son was killed when he came running to help his father. the suspect was reportedly dressed as a fedex delivery driver and is still at large according to authorities. the judge, was not heard in that attack. most recently assigned to handle the deutsche bank lawsuit connected to jeffrey epstein. police have not yet link that shooting to that case. much more on all of this later in the
