members gathered illegally or not. i want to bring in andy mccarthy, former assistant u.s. attorney. how are you doing? is the rope are about to meet the road? >> i sure hope so. i think we're getting down to the point where the prosecutors obviously have to make decisions about if they can bring charges. the secondary decision in that sense they're dealing with potential justice department and fbi misconduct, can they issue a report that describes that even if some of the conduct doesn't rise to the level of criminal charges? >> bill: she says she expects a report by the end of the summer. i guess that's one thing. indictments are the other. what do you expect? >> the first issue for a prosecutor always is indictment because usually the government only speaks in court after charges have been filed.

that's the first decision that's got to be made. i expect there will be some indictments. i don't think they're going to be brought exotic theories of criminality and attorney general barr has already told us that president obama, vice president biden, the political people in the white house are not suspects. they're not being looked at for charges. that doesn't mean their conduct won't be covered in a report. >> bill: okay. i'm trying to read between the lines there as to -- >> i'm not trying to be cryptic. what i'm saying is, we know there was manipulation of documents and i think there is been misrepresentation. i think those will be charged, but it's a hard thing to make a case on the higher up more insulated people on conduct that has been committed by agents who interact. >> bill: do you want to give names? >> no.

i don't think that's ever fair to anyone, even if i suspected it. i wouldn't talk about someone who hasn't been charged. >> bill: here's your headline, the revolution is winning. that's the national review. what's the point you're making there? >> there is nothing new under the sun. what we are seeing now with the violent activity in the country, it goes back to the 1960s and 70s where you had, self-described's small cd communist, radical movements that were aligning with black separatist movements to have a revolution against a country. we are saying those elements added all over again. >> bill: we found out that ruth bader ginsburg has been treated for her cancer. do you think there is a level of transparency that should be

required on behalf of supreme court justice? >> it should be. we should have more of a window into the health of the justices. on the other hand it's a hard thing to require because they have life tenure and you know, justice ginsburg hasn't been well for a long time, but you wouldn't know it by work product which is as high-caliber as it's ever been. >> bill: thank you for coming on. we hope to speak you later in the week. thank you. congress up against the clock. talking trillion dollars. democratic congresswoman elinor norms horton will answer that. she was a close friend of the late leader john lewis and will weigh in on his life and legacy that he leaves with us. attention veterans with va loans.

the country. he has no alternative now like to come forward with a new bill. >> bill: do you think washington can get this done? we saw them pass trillion dollar deals this spring. in a matter of days. and to try to get your head around that amount of money. it blows the mind. >> i really had doubted we could get it done until i saw these spikes in the virus going up all over the country. particularly in republican states. if you look at where the increases are and therefore where there is more money needed, especially for state and local governance, you will see many of them are in the south where of course republicans often control. >> bill: i just wonder -- do you think about how we are going to pay for all of this in the

end? >> i do think about it. but in a real sense in the middle of a emergency, is at the first thought that should come to your mind with people dying of the virus? it's the second thought that comes to my mind, not the first. >> bill: speaking of which, there is some breaking news on the passing of your good friend john lewis. williams has been tapped to take his job in the u.s. house from atlanta, georgia. i saw a quote by john lewis, he said never give up or never give in. how do you think we should remember him? >> and i hope you will remember the circumstances then when he coined that phrase. in a real sense to say not to give up.

when he and i were on the committee together, and a real sense, it meant you might be giving up your life. you've got to remember that when john was elected to the chair of the student on the coordinating committee, it wasn't that he was the most eloquent speaker, he was the bravest among us. you had to be brave to lead us the way john did. all the forces were against civil rights. it was people sitting against you or coming in against you, it was the police, it was local officials, and that is why you take your life in your hands. john lewis took his life in his hands over 40 times. that is why he is remembered so fondly. today while he was missed when we heard we had lost him. >> bill: thank you for sharing that story.

>> bill: police say they're searching for it too dangerous inmates after they escaped from a juvenile facility in virginia. 18-year-old were sean williams were spotted and lancaster county 65 miles west of phil lee. three people are facing charges in connection with that escape. police said they two men got out last monday through a hole. new york city, police officer went home after he was seriously hurt during a protest on the brooklyn bridge last week. gun violence spikes in the city, ten people were shot on saturday. reporting live from new york city with more on this.

>> good afternoon. brooklyn was a hot spot once again for weekend gun violence. we will show you some surveillance. they're looking for a suspect who shot and killed a 23-year-old man on saturday. he is seen in the video riding a motorcycle. the number of people shot this weekend up 187% from the same weekend in july last year. this past week new york city saw triple the number of shootings compared to the same week last year. the city as you mention just launched its new and gun violence plan on friday and that shifts officers with areas with gun violence like brooklyn. they also held a buyback. bill de blasio this morning shifting the blame on coronavirus and the court. >> i do think we saw some progress this weekend. we have a lot more we have to do. we do not see the court activity

we usually do. that is interrelated. >> pushing back on clams this morning that perhaps there is a low down following all those attacks on officers last wednesday. a protester assaulted several officers with a cane during a peace march on the brooklyn bridge. he suffered an orbital fracture to the eye. he left the hospital this weekend in a wheelchair. >> we've had attack after attack on police officers. having surgery. this is in the last week. >> speaking of attacks, police arrested of this man for allegedly crawling underneath a police van and cutting its brake line, obviously that would have prevented the van from breaking. according to the local nbc here, he was seen coming and going

from the encampment at the city hall park that occupy city hall. >> bill: thank you. we want to bring in our monday team. marc thiessen, former speechwriter for george w. bush and both are fox news contributor's. i hope the weekend was brilliant for both of you. for a lot of people it was not. fresh video from chicago, clearly an ambush on police officers who try to break up this protest here. 12 dead in chicago, 63 other shot. seattle, more protests, few break-ins, portland has been a mess. you are up first. give us some solutions. >> we talked about this before on the show. i think what's happening around the country right now is sort of a reckoning of a law of an equity that we've got to deal with. a lot of it is economic.

a lot of it is health-related. a lot of the communities are feeling more and more marginalized and that creates this tender box effect. things become more combustible. that is why i think we need a holistic look at our cities, our urban areas and how we can provide better access to capital, education, health care, and two jobs across the board. i think that is where the president and the congress ought to be putting their attention as opposed to some of these band-aid or worse type solutions. >> bill: your solution? >> when you have murders going up, shootings and new york city, 358%, murders up 86 and minneapolis, 40 per 7% and philadelphia. shootings involving children up 40% and chicago.

106 people were shot and ate weekend, american city, not in the middle east. there is two different things going on. one is the protest, many cases are becoming violent. social unrest. and this plain old crime because, for example in new york city, 411% increase and police retirement. they don't believe their elected leaders have their backs anymore. we need to back the police because this is what happens when you call for defunding the police and your move plainclothes officers from the streets as mayor de blasio has done. you say you're going to cut a million dollars, all the sudden there's fewer police officers, they're not being as proactive, and the result is that innocent people are getting killed unhurt. >> bill: back to you. >> i think, i don't disagree

that we have to show support for our police officers while still pushing for police reform. that is why i don't think the defund the police movement is going to go very far. beyond looking at -- >> bill: defund? >> putting some of the funds into some programs that might address these broader problems. what's not going to work is what we're seeing in portland with the heavy hand of the federal government coming in. officers of the law, federal officials with no clearly identifying marks rounding up peaceful protesters. using tear gas, beating up navy veterans who are not causing any trouble, spurring moms who are protesting with tear gas. that's not going to create an environment that helps decrease crime. that's going to stir the pot even further. we have to find a better

solution. >> bill: here's what he wrote about in "the washington post." maybe trump should not save the city's run by violence. you talk about, there is an argument for letting those experiments play out. experiments such as what? >> lawlessness which is what were seeing. the reality, our states and localities are laboratories of democracies where people can run social experiments without harming the rest of the country. guess what? we are seeing that right now. they're pulling back. they're allowing people to run amok. there is one argument on one hand which says people in these cities, let them live under it. if they experience this crime then may be they will do with the people in new york did and elect republicans, or they can move. the beauty of our country as you can move if you don't like the laws of your city. >> bill: it's unfair to leave

these americans defenseless. it's arguably the president's responsibility to do something about it. is that a reflection on portland or more than that? >> it's portland and all the cities. not everyone voted for democratic leaders. the wealthier people can pick up and move, but poor people can't. you have businesses who invested their life savings, if they leave then they lose everything. these people deserve to be defended. if the president has no choice but to step in, when local leaders in portland, violence has been there and they did nothing. >> bill: 30 seconds. >> let's not over a blow what's happening in portland. you listen to the people on the ground and the journalists who were covering it, they are telling you it's a small group of people confined to a small area of town.

the city is buying large peaceful, but the federal troops are coming in and rounding up peaceful protesters and attacking them. that's not the right solution. >> bill: 12 dead and chicago, 63 shot. i read off the numbers. for the sake of the conversation don't get hung up on portland. try and figure out what's going on with the violent cities that we talk about every monday afternoon. scott end. >> i would love to see a real partnership between the federal government and the states. we are not seeing that. >> they do not want a partnership with donald trump. he would love to work with them and they don't want to do anything with donald trump. they're letting their cities burn rather than work with the president. >> they will take help where they can. >> bill: see you next monday. thank you. larry hogan's new book is being

>> you compare them to his past comments. provision of history, it stands in stark contrast to what he said on march 19th where he praised the great communication that the president has had with governors. >> bill: what do you think about that? >> that was from last week. yeah, i praise the president every week on these calls thanking him for the tremendous communication. i always thank them when they do something good. i'm also very direct and honest when i think they need to step up and they're doing something wrong. the two don't have want to do with the other. if the governors need help and they haven't stepped up, i am one of the few republicans willing to come out. i don't come out and attacked the president ever. i always thank them when they're doingng right. >> bill: how do you think they're doing now? >> i think they're making
