>> thanks for spending the first three hours of your day with us. we will see you tomorrow. >> goodbye everyone, thanks for watching. >> that's it for today. "america's newsroom starts right now." >> fox news alert, president trump suggesting he could send to federal agents into major u.s. cities. violent protests like the ones in portland on poor leadership by democrat mayors as authorities get struggled to get a handle on the chaos from coast-to-coast. >> good morning from this coast, i'm bill hemmer. melissa, how are you during these covid times? >> i melissa francis, sandra is off today. a fox dome like fox says there's no plan to deploy officers other

than portland but at least six mayors have responded to the presidents thread sending a letter to attorney general bill barr demanding removal from federal agents in portland. >> bill: meanwhile, a new video out of chicago out from friday night. it shows people and pushing cops with rocks and frozen water bottles near a statue of chris christopher gomez. kayleigh mcenany last harassing the president has had enough. >> he is very upset with what he's seen, he wrote a letter to the mirror about this and there have been children that have been shot, roughly a dozen people every single weekend have died. more people die in the city than in iraq and afghanistan. this incredible, this is and a street in america by a derelict mirror doing nothing to stop this. the president is upset about this but i will leave it to him on when that decision is made and what it looks like. >> melissa: chief white house

correspondent john roberts is live from the white house along with more on all of this. >> good morning to you and welcome back to bill hemmer as well. there are no plans in place just yet but president trump is telling me yesterday that he does plan to send more federal law enforcement to troubled cities across america. in the oval office yesterday the president saying he will not stand by while violent scripts major cities. the president also blaming what he calls a week, fearful leadership for not addressing this situation. listen here. >> president trump: we are looking at chicago, too. we are looking at new york. what's going on? all run by very liberal democrats. all run really by radical left. but we can't let this happen to the cities. >> the democratic mayors of portland, seattle, atlanta, chicago and kansas city all sending a letter to the doj yesterday urging them to withdraw federal officers from cities. the mere saying in part, "the

deployment of federal forces in the streets of our communities had not been requested nor is it acceptable. these are tactics we expect from authoritarian regimes and not our democracy. it's concerning that federal law enforcement is being deployed. the mayor pointed out that federal officers were not invited but in kansas city, the governor asked for federal help in the kansas city police department has welcomed it. here's kayleigh mcenany earlier this morning. >> what you saw going on in kansas city with operation legend, named after a 4-year-old boy who was killed in his sleep tragically, what you're seeing here is you've had a responsible government saying yes, i welcome federal assistance and i want to protect the people in my state. we work cooperatively. >> they had an expansion of operation legend, and the only thing i don't know at this point

is where and when that will happen but the president is avowing he's going to make good on his promise. >> melissa: we will keep an eye on that john roberts, thank you. >> bill: for more on that, bill mcgurn. good morning to you. portland's pottery bill, that was used by a colin powell to warn george bush of the consequences of invading iraq. basically, you break it and you own it. i think my argument is that when donald trump intervenes it becomes a convenient excuse for these failed mayors. he is right and all his criticism, they will immediately dump the blame on him for the problem and that will shift the attention away from him and any

accountability for them back to the president. look. the president sort of adheres to the pottery barn rule when it comes to overseas. he doesn't want u.s. troops -- he tries to get them out whenever he can but he doesn't think he could do it but if you can't do it in afghanistan, but the government that is not fully cooperative and supportive, it's going to be even harder in the cities where you have democratic cities, where you have people undermining you at every opportunity which is what we are seeing in portland. >> he was asked about it yesterday, is the president talking about potential outcomes in november and we referred to what you just talked about, liking likening it to kovel. >> president trump: this is worse than afghanistan by far, this is worse than anything anyone has ever seen. all run by the same liberal democrats and that, if biden got in the income that would be true

for the country. the whole country would go to. >> on that with an election looming in some odd days, that goes back to his claim as a law and order president and that claim goes back to the campaign of 2,016. >> right. look, i think he is firmly on the idea that these mayors have failed to provide the first obligation and it's official to protect the inhabitants of the city to uphold "law & order." i think the president could use a few distinctions. i don't think there's anything wrong with what he's doing in portland, he has a clear statutory authority to protect federal properties. these are law enforcement officers that are being sent in thinand not troops. but i think he should make clear that if he's going to intervene, unless he has a request from the city, he's going to limit this to protecting federal authority because i think if he moves from

that toots generally supplanting the local police, i think that will be difficult with all these people undercutting him. and of course in the elections that you see with this ridiculous letter from the mayor's, maybe you should read the statute. we are going to bring back world war ii those things. >> speaking of that is how she characterized her involvement. >> when we had a federal enforcement encroaching on the district that all americans should be concerned about that. if we allowed the attorney general to be directing local law enforcement matters we would be in trouble. >> bill: in the case that you let the flames die out over time, the president makes the case saying, they were physically afraid of those in

the streets. >> i think they are, i think it's worse. you know the mayor de blasio's daughter was arrested, violating the curfew. and they seem unable or unwilling to quell the violence. new york city has 36,000 police officers and then you have state troopers, national guard. they just don't have the well and they don't want to be shown up. >> back to your piece, toward the end of it you're right, portland is one of america's locust white cities. he's itching to dump his failure to keep order under mr. trump, and they don't deserve to be so easily let off the hook. mayor wheeler is the democratic mayor in portland.

a final comment? >> i'm sort of with hl mencken who famously said it, democracy is the idea that the common teams will know what they want and deserve to get a good and hard. and i think that applies to portland. >> bill: thank you bill, nice to see you city after city. >> melissa: the white house is set to resume its daily coronavirus white hart house briefings. and in his city to follow health guidelines. >> the goal is to reduce the number of hospitals, reduce the

number of people needing icus, people ignoring the science and the medicine and the advice that's been given and simply want to be responsible, that's unfortunate. >> casey stegall is live in dallas with more. >> while virtually every corner of texas has been in impacted in some form or fashion of the coronavirus, it's been hit especially hard in recent weeks. places like corpus christi, texas, and it down near the u.s. and mexico border, an area known as the rio grande valley. texas governor has deployed medical teams to that region to help. i federally run surge testing site is open there. and how dog polk county texas, officials have now ordered people to shelter at home once again and curfews have been issued. while in houston which has been the epicenter of texas in terms

of covid cases, deaths and hospitalizations, medical leaders are finally starting to report a decrease in the number of patients at area medical centers. although they warn, that doesn't mean it's time to let their guard down. >> is good news and it happened right about when we expected it to happen based on some of the testing we saw level off in houston significantly. >> school districts across texas are also planning the best way to put kids back in the classroom at all. the state educational agency says that districts are allowed to begin the year with online teaching for up to four weeks but then should transition to in-person instruction. once school is open, parents will still be given an option to keep their kid at home if they choose to do so. teachers and other school staff like many other states have

protested that decision here, especially as cases continue rising melissa? >> strong feelings on both sides of this issue. casey stegall, thanks for that. >> 12 past the hour, holding guns with protesters outside of their home last month. but the states ag wants a case dropped. what he says it's a political prosecution, we will talk to him about that. and joe biden narrowing down >> he supported my entire career which brought me to the dance. it's important that my administration will look like america.

>> melissa: the day after senator ted cruz mourned it will be all over for the g.o.p. if the democrats whe when texas, tt was once a conservative stronghold. joining us now is new hampshire

governor john sununu, former white house chief of staff. that's what we are getting her out out of arizona, what do you make of this? >> there have been a lot of people on tv talking about the failings of the mechanics of pulling at this time. three things have to happen, and number one is the severity of the virus has to remain at where it is. number two, there has to be a very anemic economic recovery and number three, biden has to figure out how to avoid any of the three debates. there's a chance those polls may be reflective of reality.

the trump campaign runs a good campaign keeping the presidential fights on twitter and then you have a presidential campaign that shifts into the green for the president. >> melissa: talk to me a little bit about texas. i feel like texas is this thing that republicans sometimes tricked democrats into chasing because it looks like it's within their reach, and when ten ted cruz says we are in danger of losing texas, do you think that's real and it's a real concern or is it bait to the democrats? what is your opinion? >> the crews did at the same thing with his race against beto o'rourke and the liberal

press was so excited about o'rourke was going to beat crews and it wasn't even close in the long run. >> melissa: yeah. turning to vice president biden for a second, the vp pick getting a lot of airtime and discussion time and a lot of focus. they do not include kamala harris karen bass from california, nina turner, former ohio state senator. kamala harris, do you think that she would be a good pick or do you think she would alienate the bernie sanders win? >> i don't think biden can

ignore that. i think he set himself up for a real disappointing response to whomever he picks because he has dangled opportunity in front of so many segments within his party that a significant number of folks are going to be disappointed. you only make the support of one person happy and the supporters of half a dozen persons are going to be unhappy the way he's handled it. i think he's botched most of his political activities over the last 50 years. >> melissa: is what he had to say about that last night. >> and having a two hour vetting report from the lawyers and women and men of color as well as white folks who are doing the vetting. and we got through about four

candidates so far. and then we will see. >> when someone says i will specifically pick a woman, it automatically sort of says like only considered half of my possibilities so she will never know if she was truly the first choice and the best person for the job. i wonder does the african-american community not to take gestures from joe biden the same way, especially when he uses language like thing, if you don't know who to vote for in this race then you ain't black, someone made the point during fox & friends this morning that using the word "ain't there and

why isn't that insulting to the african-american community as well? >> joe biden has a history of language usage that is insulting to significant parts of the black community. and i think of the trump campaign gets themselves back on the presidential track, they will surprise people with the number of black votes she's done much in the terms of community of jobs and no stops can come back if things turn around and she's done very much in the black community in spite of what they are to trying to do. the intercity population is going to get to the point where than the fs enough. and the intercity population will force those mayors to do eventually the right thing.

>> melissa: on that note, bill mcgurn said that pottery barn rule, if you break it you own it, and he suggested the president stay out of the situation in those cities like my own, new york city's and do you agree with that advice to the president on that topic that you just mentioned? >> i agree that the president has to be a little bit more patient with all of this, and get it to the point where like in kansas city, we asked them to come in and the police gave him tremendous support. i would urge the president and we take that responsibility for the chaos.

that's the home and businesses and livelihood. usually is, we appreciate it. >> bill: connection so what is that link? the state's attorney general wants the states dropped, and that's coming up next. we are not going to apologize for what it's doing what's right and we are not going to back down.

>> melissa: the fbi has identified a lawyer who apparently killed himself as the sole suspect in sunday's deadly shooting of the home of federal judge extra solace. she was not hurt but her son was killed and her husband was critically injured. laura ingle has more. >> name was royden hollander and

he was a self-described antifeminist lawyer from new york, and also apparently had an ax to grind with female . the u.s. district judge esther solace was unharmed in sunday's ambush at her family's home in new jersey. a delivery driver shot and killed her son and seriously wounded her criminal defense attorney husband mark andro. hollander was found dead yesterday with what was believed to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound in upstate new york and seem to take pride in his crusade against women's rights. he made multiple tv appearances on local and national networks regarding his lawsuits and in 2008 he accused columbia university and also filed lawsuits against new york city bars for holding ladies nights. according to reports hollander put out a 1700 page self

published book online that what she wrote a specifically named him in a name-calling grant. according to reports, he allowed his case to continue in 2019 but last month canceled scheduled oral arguments. it appears hollander could have had other targets in mind and we learned yesterday that the fbi contacted the chief judge of. it was recently diagnosed with cancer and is looking to take out some of his enemies. melissa? >> melissa: what a sad story. laura, thank you for that. >> it's a totally upside down world. the people who'd broke into my neighborhood are all attorney has apparently decided

her job as a prosecutor isn't to keep us safe from criminals but to keep the criminal say from us. it's a bizarre upside down world. i've been a little it irritated by this process until today but now i'm just flat out passed off, this has got to be outrageous. >> that man right there was a lawyer, ella mccloskey, after they confronted protesters last month outside of the home in st. louis. and thank you for your time today and good morning to you. >> good morning, bill. >> bill: i've watch this video quite a bit and i don't entirely know where the space is. it looks to me as if the protesters are on a sidewalk, and if they are on the sidewalk are they entitled to be there?

the other factor on the story is that the protesters are on their way to the governor's house down the road. so with a better spatial understanding, tell us the facts in this neighborhood? >> this is a necessity of st. louis. they were on their way to the mayor's house which has been vandalized several times. the important fact is this is a private street and private property. so the charges being brought here amount to nothing more than political prosecution at this point because it's important to kind of take a step back and understand that the right to self-defense is a fundamental right in this country. itcourse. it's in the missouri constitution and also missouri's castle doctrine. missouri has one of the strongest castle doctrine's in the country and what it says is, you have the right to defend yourself, the lives of your family members, your home and your property. and so, the law is very clear

and in a time when we have seen calls to defund the police, and we have violence spinning out of control including in st. louis where there was over 130 murders this year where there's a 75% increase this july versus last july, you have a prosecutor now in kim gardner that is targeting law-abiding citizens were exercising their fundamental right of self-defense. so somebody has to do something about it and i felt like enough was enough so i'm stepping in to enter into the case here and have the case dismissed. these individuals were protecting their property and this has broader implications, too. and we decided to take a stand.

and while we are fortunate that the situation did not escalate into deadly force, this type of conduct is flexible in st. louis and we must protect the right to peacefully protest and any attempt to chill it through intimidation is not acceptable. >> she has a trac track record f political decisions when it comes to the law and my job is to stand up for the rule of law. the fact of the matter is, the castle doctrine defending a property, it's not even and if missourians feel like they cannot exercise a fundamental right of self-defense, and will

you pardon them? >> without a doubt, sean. i will do everything within the constitution of the state of missouri to protect law-abiding citizens. they have every right to protect their property in their home, and if you had a can you take any action prior to that? >> that's why we've entered the case. i don't think it will get to that point you have the right to defend her life in the lives of your family members, your home and your property. this is a private street and charges should have never been

brought. it's a shame that they have but again my job is to protect the rights of all missourians and so we have entered into this case to seek a dismissal. my belief as this could have a chilling effect in the prosecutoand theprosecutor know. >> the charges are were brought yesterday and we filed with the same day. we had some concern this was happening so this will play out over a period of weeks i'm sure. but we are right on the law and we look forward to the day that the charges are in fact made of. >> bill: we are out of time today but, it could take this long maybe longer. thanks for coming out today. >> so opening day for major league baseball just three days away, if you can believe it. and the washington nationals have announced that super fan dr. anthony fauci will throw out the ceremonial first pitch for

the defending champion on thursday. dr. fauci makes no secret of his baseball partisanship, he even sported a national face mask during a congressional hearing last month. that is a lot of fun. bill hemmer, you've got not before. that's hard to come right? >> a couple of data points. we had a back-to-back pga tour events and is zero reported cases of covid which is really good. i think for the most part, based on what i can tell so far we've had zero reported cases so far from the stadiums and the workouts themselves. the nba's for i think at least a week now, and there has been from what i've seen zero covid cases reported. that's baseball and golf, that's a little different, and football is entirely different.

>> i know you have the ceo of wilpon, and teams are being smart or protecting our business, about how they are doing this. and that's a big piece of it. >> true story and i think we know a lot more about the virus that we did back in march. major league baseball on thursday. why they say judge sullivan has hijacked the proceedings? andy mccarthy will answer that. plus thousands of protesters in portland surrounding police headquarters overnight. what is happening to keep mike get the chaos under control. we will hear from the justice department coming up.

has very limited jurisdiction to do anything. basically in this instance the only thing the judge has the power to do is dismiss the case. what both flynn and the justice department are telling the court of appeals is, the game is over. >> bill: of the players and the spec tailors need to go ho home. why is the judge conducting this case in this manner? if the doj says dismiss it and forget about it, why wouldn't they? >> a put a lot of work on this case, you really should change

>> melissa: president trump tweeting a photo of himself

wearing a mask and calling the move patriotic. doctors say face mask save lives and help protect the economy and help us reopen schools. dr. janette nesheiwat is a family and emergency physician and also a fox news medical contributor. when i walk outside out of new york, almost everyone i see and they are socially distance and eating food with her companion, that's when i see it pulled down but for the most part people here get it. i look at the coronavirus index which indicates that two-thirds of americans now report that they wear a face mask. how do we encourage those last few holdouts to just wear it? >> the number is significantly improved but we just have work to do. it's important to understand

that we now have strong evidence and multiple studies that show that the widespread use of masks or facial cloth coverings can reduce the transmission into the community and reduce the number of deaths and it can reemerge into the community faster, and we have the knowledge and have the data, it's a matter of harnessing that information and using it so he can safely reopen and reemerge into the community. >> melissa: it immediately makes me think of schools.

also the damage to the children and that would be used for all teachers and staff during all school hours. even those in elementary schoo schools. can we reopen schools first addressing the idea of keeping teachers safe? teachers protect themselves in a way that they don't feel like they are risking their lives by going back to school to teach children. >> first and foremost it's important that the level of community transmission is low. we have to make sure that we don't have an outbreak or surgeon at community. once we have that virus outbreak under control, once we have a decline in the number of cases, hospitalizations or deaths for at least 14 days in reopen and you look at the school and that you look to see, where are the risks. so you can't just reopen for an outbreak and you have to make

sure the level of community transmission is low first. and that cdc does not recommend it, but there are many other things that we can do. and that's a matter of having a plan and protocol in place but it's critical for children to be in school.st >> melissa: dr. nash walk, thank you so much. we will be right back. just vacuum, spray mop, and toss.

>> bill: protesters surrounding the county buildings in portland, oregon on the 54th night of tension in oregon's biggest city. it will come to a brand-new hour of the "america's newsroom," don't change your set. on bill hemmer, feels like old times here. nice to see you as well. >> melissa: i melissa francis, and that's a crackdown for federal officers. the feds are reportedly using

tear gas and a flash bangs to clear crowds that clogged the streets outside of the white house. >> that depends on what your definition of troops it is. we are sending law enforcement. portland was totally out of control, and they didn't know what they were doing. they were ripping down the city, and what was going on was incredible. >> bill: seattle police releasing body cam video from the weekend. protesters hurling fireworks during the confrontation and at least a dozen officers were hurt

there in seattle. >> melissa: dan springer is live in our northwest barrel with dan. >> it was a very quiet night in seattle, thousands of people surrounded the justice center and as we have seen repeatedly, they pulled the plywood off the building which was protecting glass doors and windows and then broke the glass. they also sent several fires that required response to the portland fire department. portland police did not engage the vandals and the crowd but they did eventually come out and try to disperse the protesters by firing tear gas and less lethal munitions. we are also getting a first look at body cam video shot sunday in seattle which shows police responding to a protester who was covering a precinct surveillance camera with an umbrella. several officers moved in and

quickly hit by throwing bottles and fireworks. we have now learned that two officers were treated at a hospital for injuries and board came out yesterday that protesters had also broken into a federal building. they spray-painted it, burned an american flag and tried to detonate an explosive device. and that was the scene inside of the chop protest zone where a 19-year-old man was shot to death in that night in the area. last night lorenzo andersen's mother sued the city of seattle claiming officials created the dangerous environment that led to her son's death. >> he doesn't deserve to be data, nobody does but he most definitely doesn't. and he doesn't deserve for the city to do nothing. >> so far seattle officials have not responded to the wrongful death lawsuit.

>> melissa: dan springer, thank you for that. >> president trump: i'm going to do something, that i can tell you. because we are not going to let new york, philadelphia, chicago, detroit and baltimore, all of these, oakland it is a mess. people say protesters, these are and i anarchists. these are people that hate our country and we are not going to let it go forward. >> bill: if there is the yesterday suggesting to send federal agents to other american cities. it sent congress a letter yesterday objecting to that idea. a white house source telling fox news there are no immediate plans to send the feds anywhere else. i want to bring in our panel and to talk about this. matt schlapp, chairman of the american conservative union and former white house political director. nice to see you both.

here is the headline from "the wall street journal." i will set this up and we will have the debate together. the massive portland, progressives blame trump for the disorder that they've tolerated it. the point of the piece is, don't save them from their own troubles. should that be the strategy from the white house? >> i have a lot of respect for our friends of "the wall street journal" but i think that is way off base. if you look at the editorials coming out of the newspapers that are actually in the community, they are saying there is an overblown response and the hyped up problem that the majority of the people in portland are peaceful protesters. but we are seeing some bad actors coming late at night. there's no room for violence and no room for looting and what we are seen by the federal response right now is totally lack of distinguishing between the peaceful protesters and those who are committing crimes.

when the federal officers are tear gassing moms were standing there peacefully protesting, when they are assaulting navy veterans who are going up to talk to them, and when they are rounding people up and throwing them in unmarked vans, that is an over stepped from the concern for the over cities that are saying this is not the right approach. >> bill: i don't know if you get a one oh eight when you make the move or not. maybe the feds should leave and that the city put out its own fires. >> i completely agree that the city should be stopping these violent mobs. these are not peaceful protesters. these are people that take on private property, and what do you tell the grandmother that was just on the show that these were peaceful protesters as she has to deal with the death of her grandson? look. president eisenhower used federal resources to help black

kids integrate schools and to protect them. in these cities, the overwhelming number of victims are people of color, young black kids and i think we need to use of federal resources to make the murders and to make the arson, make the violence. i agree it's a mayor's responsibility. these socialist mayors, all of them, or simply failing the job and people are at risk. the president would be making politics out of it by sitting around and trying to get the benefit of it. he's trying to solve the problem but i agree, it shouldn't be resting on his desk. >> bill: here are one of the mayors in, lori lightfoot. >> i have great concerns about that, i spent a lot of time yesterday talking the mayor of portland to get a sense of what happened there. we don't need a federal agent without any insignia taking people off the streets and holding them, i think,

unlawfully. >> bill: it you know, so much of this is seen in the prism of politics with the election less than four months away. what are the american people thinking as they watch this, do they see a law and order candidate as a president presented himself in 2016 and still today, or do they see chaos that needs to be controlled from a different direction? >> i think what the president is doing right now is making a play politically to his base and of those people, the people who have been with him not going to leave him will see this as a continuation of law and order. people say this is not making things better, this is making things worse. there is so much chaos happening in the world right now and the president doesn't see a way to wrap his arms around it without making it worse. you go after the criminals and not after the peaceful protesters, and by blurring the

line between those two, the president i think is doing a huge disservice. >> you are watching this video from chicago that came in yesterday, these police officers are guarding the monument to christopher columbus and they are just besieged on behalf of the protesters that are hiding behind umbrellas and on the street below. >> this is outrageous. i love and respect you but i bet there are good people that have for instance and marched with black lives matter. but what black lives matter incorporated and their leaders and the founders, is raising a lot of money to have a moment political bias. in a college campus when the kids get too rowdy, and that they ticked on the goalpost, the cop stepped in. this attack on the police and

trying to make it so they can get suda, joe biden wants to defund them and he says they should move people away. >> yes he has. he is defunding -- we can have an honest debate. >> yes he does, and we set it. >> there are delays between my camera and yours, he used the word divergence, if you want to interpret that, he has to define that. >> he has not called out or criticized any of the moves in any of these cities that have taken resources away from these cops who are literally under attack in our streets. >> to your point, joe biden has the speech later today. maybe it comes up then. i got to run, i got 15 seconds, fire. >> look, joe biden has said let

us make sure that our police are living up to standards in order to get the money and if they don't they are -- if they are not eliminating charcoals or doing other things and they don't get that money. that's legitimate and that kind of smart police support that we need. >> bill: use shaking her head, we will bring you back so you can respond to that. >> as bill mentioned, joe biden is back on the campaign trail today and stay close to home. joe biden is expected to announce part three of his build back better economic recovery plan. it reportedly includes a multibillion-dollar proposal to help caregivers and with the pandemic. peter doocy is live in newcastle with more. >> melissa, it's a $775 billion tax pair plan which will send checks to people who have been professional caregivers or

informal federal caregivers whose resources have been stretched thin by that covid-19 lockdown. the biden campaign really wants to distinguish his position from president trump's. >> dying. dying. people are so worried about seeing their grandmothers and grandfathers, i mean i don't understand it. he has absolutely zero sense of empathy. >> the campaign is stressing that biden has zero personal experience as an informal caregiver as he was once a single parent advocate cared for his own aging parents. he sums it up as this. if we want to truly reward work in this country we need to ease the financial burden of care and we have to elevate the compensation benefits, training and education opportunities for certification and dignity of

caregiving workers and educators. the $775 billion plan is on top of the $700 billion who wants to set aside to buy american goods and services and the $2 trillion he wants to spend a tick of the country a full green makeover. so in three weeks that is more than $3 trillion worth of new federal spending and they say that today's program that they are going to announce would be paid for by rolling back some tax breaks on real estate investors and also increasing taxes on anybody making more than 400 grand per year. melissa? >> melissa: i would be interested to see that math worked out on paper. peter doocy, thank you so much for that. >> bill: fox news alert, teachers and one state suing the governor over in order that requires schools to reopen. house minority whip steve scalise says, when it comes to opening up the classroom, the time for excuses is over. he makes this case live in a few moments.

>> president trump: it's very important, i think it's a very important thing and it's very good and proven to be successful. it's a big saving for the people, tremendous saving and i think it's an incentive for companies to hire workers back and to keep their workers. a payroll tax cut to me is very important and we are working on it. and i don't think there is too much dispute as to the level of importance. >> melissa: joining us now is art laffer, thank you so much for joining us. first of all, it was all the buzz yesterday. at the white house there was a meeting going on and the president decided to pick up the phone and give you a call. can you share that conversation, what was he asking you? >> i can tell you what i talked about.

if you want more employment and you want a tax employment left, if you want to redistribute income it's probably a and you shouldn't mix those two and i thought the payroll tax was a perfect way to really reignite the economy, creating jobs, output and employment. it shouldn't be capped, it should just make it so it's more attractive for employees to work and more attractive for employers to hire them. then we discussed a little bit of the $1200 idea and of course that is they are to really help people in need and that's a political decision much more than an economic decision and that's in the turf of the people who were in the room, not me, but surely that's the way to

redistribute income. lastly we talked about the transparency and how it might be a good idea to put that in place. my view is that the transparency issue is going to be one of the crowning glories of this administration. it's just the most amazing thing to bring free-market economics back to about 18% of the u.s. economy. >> all medical professors have to post prices of what the things cost, literally cost, and they have to post measures of quality as well. so you know what you are buying, and how much it costs ahead of time. you know, my son came back from spain and went to the hospital, he thought he had to covid-19. he went to the emergency room and didn't even spend the night. four weeks later he got a bill

for 15,000 plus dollars, and that's not right. we should know what we are getting and how much it costs so people can make rational decisions about their own health and that is the most wonderful thing that this president did was that executive order and i think it's really important to get into the legislation if we can. >> melissa: let's go back to the different mechanisms that we are talking about. when we are talking about the cash giveaway whether it's the $1200 they got before, that would be to basically everybody. it's either direct deposit or check, it doesn't matter whether you are working or not. i understand there's a threshold under which you wouldn't get one but basically almost everyone gets one. with the payroll tax cut, that means that if you are a worker and your next paycheck would instantly be bigger because you would not have the same amount of taxes taken out. but if you are not at work you

wouldn't get anything additional. the final option that they are talking about is extending those unemployment -- the super unemployment benefits where for example, i know someone who runs a hair salon for example and she was saying that when she called her workers and asked them to come back, they explained very calmly that they are making 9000 from the government after tax and they are not coming back to work. she has a choice to report them, but goodness knows how much time that would take. in your opinion looking at all these options, what is the best thing for the economic recovery and it do you think that those folks going to capitol hill today will advocate for that? >> let me just say i disagree with the way that you have described the payroll tax waiver or holiday if you would like to call it that. yes, it is true, and the whole reason you do a payroll tax rate

cut is to bring those people who are unemployed back into the labor force. you make it much more attractive for people to come back to work because you get a 7.6.5% boost in your after tax pay and it likewise makes it much more a attractive for employers to hire them because you get a 7.5% reduction, so we will get a much faster growth in retirement than we otherwise would get. that's the tax rate aspect that so important, and that $1200 is where you take care of people who need it but if you want growth and employment, what you want to do is if you want to reduce impediments to employment by reducing taxes on it. so just imagine if you make payroll taxes 100% of everything earned, how many people do you think would be working? none? what you want to do is reduce the tax for unemployment not so you'd redistribute income but so

you increase the incentives for people to work and that's what the whole key is to the payroll tax waiver or holiday. al gore when he talked about the carbon tax, always wanted to offset the carbon tax to the payroll tax cut. everyone who studies the subject knows that a payroll tax rate reduction will increase employment dramatically and that's what we are after. >> melissa: you tax what you want to discourage and we don't want to discourage work. thank you so much. i wish we had more time. >> you just got a phd and supplies that economics, congratulations. >> i needed it, thank you. >> federal forces, the answer to the kind of mayhem we are seeing in cities like portland, oregon. house minority whip steve scalise with the president's plan. plus a new twist in the brutal murder of three men in florida. what investigators are looking

property. we support our law enforcement professionals but we also ought to not allow this protest to ever be hijacked by this kind of organized, radical agitators. >> bill: and senator tom cotton here earlier, he is trying to help control any riots in the surge of violence nationwide. they are already pushing back in a letter. the next guest is a victim of gun violence himself, how's minority whip steve scalise, the republican from louisiana. good morning to you and thanks for coming on our program. what is the solution here? >> the presidents have a responsibility to keep americans safe and i'm glad that he's carrying out his duties as the president of the united states to do that even if some of these local mirrors are not going to be willing to keep their people safe. you've seen the defund the police movement and whether it's joe biden saying he's going to

allocate money away from police officers, that is defunding police and that's not where most americans are. americans deserve to be safe in their homes and be safe when they go about their business, and right now some of these mayors are not providing that. >> this happened over the weekend, this christopher columbus monument. they were hit pretty good. i caught this sound bite from the police superintendent and chicago, david brown. listen here. >> peaceful demonstrations have been hijacked by organized mobs. we don't want to believe that people will act this way towards us, that they would take advantage of our secretive right. >> bill: hijacked by organized mobs and we don't want to believe that people would act

this way toward us. we have seen in some of these cities, anarchists are taking over and have looted and burned down buildings. the police officers do an incredible job and are brave police officers. if there's a bad cop they will root them out. police are risking their lives to keep us safe and we need to back them up and give them the support and tools they need to do their job safely. >> bill: we have talked about this a lot. let's turn now to covid in schools and how we get things moving in the classroom again. there is a union in florida pushing back on the whole idea

of the teachers union about going back to school. here's the quote. if the governor needs to except the reality of the situation here in florida. but the virus surging out of control, we don't want to begin impressing teaching and space an explosion of cases and sickness and then be re-forced to return to distance learning. so what is your view now as you look at the science and take input from the experts as to how we get school going again? >> bill, this is a critical debate that we have to get through. we put a man on the moon and to suggest that we can't get away to safely reopen schools is ludicrous. without the american academy of pediatrics, but they also talked about the damage it does to kids if they are not getting that in school learning. there's a lot of science behind us and it's well documented, and we were talking about the protocols for safely reopening

schools which we are doing in louisiana. in other states need to figure out how to do it because it's a disservice to these kids. if there's ever been a stronger argument for school choice, if the school system is willing to take your money and not figure out the do the hard work of figuring out how to save the reopen and there's something else that's willing to educate your child in person safely, you ought to be able to have the dollar follow the child so they can get the person money. it's about the children and we as adults have to do our work to make sure we are serving those kids. >> bill: i think it was 31 billion for schools with the care is act and now we are talking about 71 billion and that's about $100 billion for schools.

it's in the tens of billions that you have. there's a lot of money out there and what we need is a resolve to get it done. i can we put a man on the moon and we could have figured out a hundred reasons not to do it and we returned them safely. we can open up school safely. the protocols are out there, and to say you can't do it, they are okay with taking the money but they don't want to educate the children and that would forgive failed those children who deserve the opportunity to be taught in school. >> bill: is zero-point today is to find a way to yes. steve scalise, thanks for coming on today. see you soon. somebody knows something. and that somebody that calls us makes $30,000 and never, ever has to testify. and that is what we are banking

on. >> melissa: that reward being offered for information on the three men murdered in central florida. those victims were invited to a remote lake friday night to go fishing. they were beaten, shot and left to die by one or more killers. >> more than 100 tips have come in however none have led to any arrests or helped to solve this triple murder mystery. one of them was able to call his dad but crying for help, as his two buddies were likely already dead. his father raced to the scene and said he held his son in his arms as he was dying and then grabbed his son cell phone to call his wife.

>> it was in the seat. it was covered in blood. i got the phone and it was his mom and i said, our son is dying. >> absolutely tragic. his son was brandon rollins and all three had died that night before they had even begun to fish for catfish. it happened in a very rural town on a dirt road. the question is whether it was a targeted triple killing or an unhappy happenstance massacre in a location known for teenagers to party away from their parents. >> these folks appear to be beaten and shot. did you hear me? beaten and shot. we are seeking leads. we need help so that we can

solve this crime sooner rather than later. >> the parents of rollins can simply barely take it. his mother said, nothing. my life is gone. marv's son was barely able to tell details about what happened when they drove up to the lake but the investigators are not making any of that public. melissa? >> melissa: phil keating, i hope this one gets solved. >> bill: violence breaking out in some of the major protests and cities across the country. some mirrors do not want the help from the city but will the fed's act anyway? we will talk to the doj about that and what the proper course of action should be. that's coming up next. >> these are some easy simple things of the president could

do.. we could pass universal background checks. with the va streamline refi. at newday there's no income verification, no appraisal, and not a single dollar out of pocket. one call can save you $3000 a year.

>> melissa: fox news alert, several big-city mayors sending a letter to congress objecting to federal agents handling violent protests like those in portland. justice department spokesperson carrie to pack. thanks so much for joining us. let me start with the assertion, these federal forces that we are calling them are teargas imams that they are throwing protesters into unmarked vans without telling them they are. is that what's going on and is that okay? >> with respect to portland, i think we are talking about two

different things. as you know, what happened over the weekend was truly horrifying. you had a thousand people searching the building there in portland, you had a violent individuals throwing concrete at federal law enforcement officers, setting up nails and walls so that the they would be entailed. we set up a fence, and these protesters tore down this fence. the fence will have to be rebuilt and taxpayers will be paying for that. we have a duty to enforce federal law and we are going to enforce that federal law. we are not going to tolerate attacks on our people and our property and if elected officials want to advocate their federal responsibility and we

are not going to do the same. and are there people who are putting come wherever these folks are whether they are violent or protesters, where are they putting them into unmarked vans without identifying who law-enforcement officials, is that going on? >> i think you're speaking specifically to dhs, and that's twofold. these issues and, and this is something they were involved in over the weekend.

are there moms who are peacefully protesting that are getting teargas? >> i'm glad you raised the question of moms because there was a peaceful gathering of mothers who had linked arms outside of portland, trying to prevent the violent and as far as teargas i'm not aware of anything but that's what i'm aware of as far as others are concerned. >> kerri kupec, thank you for your time. it's getting down to the wire for joe biden to pick a running mate and he now says for african-american women are on a short list but that's not all the same. is he giving himself some local

room? donna brazile will sort that o out. step in the right direction. at university of phoenix,

>> i am not committed to naming any but the people i've named and among them are for black women. my administration, i promise you, will look like america. >> bill: joe biden last night talking about a search for running mate same for african-americans are on his list. i don't know. are you on the list? anything we need to know here? >> well you know bill, i am qualified but i'm not on the list. i want to say this, i think the vice president's consideration of four black women is really remarkable. i was around 1984 when former

vice president did not consider a black woman and it was a very insulting thing not to consider. eventually he chose geraldine ferraro, i worked on that campaign but as you say this is a new day, a new moment and a new opportunity and the four black women he's considering, they are all qualified to be president on day one. and that is one of the qualified activities. and i've also been at that tab

table. i'm excited that there are four black women or five black women being considered because they i know they are qualified to be president on day one. they reach voters that perhaps could not be participating in this election cycle. i strongly support having a black woman on the ticket for obvious reasons. >> what benefit doesn't happen that way. >> if it doesn't happen that way i will be disappointed. i will be disappointed as a former chair of the party, and i will respect the vice president

decision. if you choose to go the other way, but this is a historic moment. could be president from day one, that's the part to embrace all . >> bill: he would need to maintain a healthy partnership with his deputy without worrying that she would outshine him. is that the strongest endorsement do you think? >> well of course. you can't outshine someone who's been vice president of the united states of america. and i wish him the best of luck. and that would be a tough call

and i know we are qualified to be president of the united states. >> bill: nice to see you. we will see you in person very soon. >> melissa: press secretary secretary kell kayleigh mcenanyt to speak soon, and we expect that topic to come up and we will take you there as soon as it starts.

the countdown has begun... 'til everyone can enjoy a professional clean feel... at home.

>> bill: a fox news alert, live in the white house, moments from now kayleigh mcenany set to address reporters, plenty of news for them to talk about. we will bring that live to you when it begins. good morning everyone, i'm bill hemmer and it's good to be back in the old slot for the day. >> enjoying it, i loved being with you. i melissa francis, the white house briefing comes after another violent day, and president trump warning he would send more federal officers into the cities. and he's blaming leadership in those areas for the unrest. that's where dozens of police officers and meanwhile and the

mayor says they are actually making the situation worse. >> bill: we got the briefing coming up scheduled for 11:00 but these things for it really come up on time so sometime in the next hour or two we should hear from press secretary kayleigh mcenany. i'm told by administration sources there is no plan at this moment, but the president is promising he will dispatch more federal law enforcement officers to cities across america. this whole thing is being modeled on something going on in kansas city that's called operation legend, that's a name for 4-year-old legend who was shot and killed while he slept on june 29th. the u.s. marshal service, and at the request of the governor to

assist in local law enforcement. and at the president is saying he's not going to be standing by and those leaders are not taking control. that's detroit and baltimore and all of these oakland or is rms. i'll run by liberal democrats and if biden got in that would be true from the country. the whole country would go to and we are not going to let it go to. >> they will be using the city as a model for law enforcement. they are sending a letter to doj and the hsa yesterday urging them to withdraw federal officers from cities and the mere saying in poor, the point

was that it was requested, and they have not yet identified that president is happening in chicago and here is kayleigh mcenany from earlier today. >> people who have died, roughly a dozen people and more people die in the city in iraq and afghanistan. this is incredible. >> this is the first time in three months of president trump will be leading a coronavirus briefing which will happen in the 5:00 p.m. hour here in the white house. that's happening today as usual.

we will see you. >> fox news alert from missouri, a couple who pointed guns at a group of protesters marching outside of their seamless home last month now facing foundling weapons charges. the couple drew national attention after video of the incident went viral. they say they were afraid for their lives. matt finn is following the story live from chicago. matt? >> that st. louis couple and since they were just defending themselves and their home in their private neighborhood shortly after the death of george floyd george floyd because nationwide nationwide rioting and looting. mark mccloskey and following an

incident following peaceful unarmed protesters on june 28th. they are participating in nonviolent protests. while we are fortunate that situation did not escalate into deadly force, this type of conduct is unacceptable in st. louis. gardner said she brought charges after a thorough investigation by police but, police reportedly discovered the guns were not loaded and mark mccloskey's was a fake. mark mccloskey tells fox news he was advised to fill people with his cell phone companies so that taking out his guns, but he asked how that would help if hundreds of people broke into his home. >> the people that broke into my neighborhood, the prosecutor and the circuit attorney has apparently decided that her job as a prosecutor isn't to keep us safe from criminals but to keep the criminals safe from us.

>> he says he'll do that has been confiscated, and he says he will not be intimidated. they are prepared to exercise his part in power, and the prosecutor here has already indicated that the best course of action is a diversion program to avoid time in court. melissa? >> melissa: matt finn, thank you for that report. judge, good morning to you. it's good to see you. >> earlier today he said it might take a couple of weeks. it is at the right course of action? >> the right course of action would be not to violate and in my view there is no crime committed at all. the crime with which the mccloskey's have been charged,

they were not brandishing it for an unlawful purpose but for a lawful purpose, one of protecting their property. if their street is a private street, private property owned collectively by the neighborhood association. by the way, the mayor lives on that street which was the stated goal of the demonstrators. but when they are and we need will shower in your bathroom, that's enough. and that's the la law and no unlawful purpose. we have a public prosecutor who wants to make some political statement and i guess the only way around this is for the attorney general to dismiss it,

the castle doctrine defending the property, the unlawful use of the weapon, it's not even a crime. the fact that she brought these charges is very concerning, it has broad implications not only for them but missourians. >> bill: the castle doctrine provides a broad rights from those protecting their lives and those who wish to do them harm. is that the state or defense that they are judging? >> and this is a

quintessentially lawful self-defense of act under federal law and state law, and there is no basis to file a complaint. and that's not a guilty plea at the end of which the charges are dismissed. he was on with tucker last night, first sound bite from them explains why that show is not to stop. >> do we usually want to have

300 people inside of your house breaking things and setting fires and killing you or stop them when they are outside? we chose to stop them from coming in. >> bill: that leads us back to the circuit attorney can gardner. >> why did she make this move? why file the charges? >> well, senator hawley from missouri who is the former attorney general for the state of missouri argues that he she has used her office repeatedly and stated that she doesn't believe in the second amendment, and the unlawful use of their weapons.

she disagrees with the law and rewrite the law. i do, and the procedure for expunging the charge will trigger. both of these defendants are lawyers, the very filing of this charge could jeopardize their right to practice law. this has a domino effect and we will follow it from here. >> the question to how to safely get kids back into the classroom, could all hands on which grade they are in. plus walk and chew at the same

time? not at disney world. during the pandemic, the new rules about eating at the happiest place on earth while the white house weighs in on the best way to stay safe. >> there's not a federal mandate, if you can't socially distance follow the president's lead and put on a mask and i think that's the best way forward p. when i think of the veteran out there that needs to refi his home, he may want to purchase, we can help them and provide that financial solution for they and their families. it's a great rewarding feeling. everybody in the company, they have that deference and that respect and that love for the veteran that makes this company so unique.

the podium in a matter of moments and we look at the white house briefing underway. it's rare to listen when we see a briefing before 12 noon but here we are. at 5:00 this afternoon the president will conduct another coronavirus briefing, one that has been absent for the past couple of months. while all of this is happening, you have leaders from congress and the administration meeting today to try to work some sort of deal between the presidents and democrats and republicans and republicans to some extent, with regard to the next phase of covert relief. >> there are two major questions or topics that are swirling, one that has to do with what is the new coronavirus relief package going to look like? is it unemployment benefits, or is it a payroll tax? are we seeing more of those

direct payments to people? also, that's what we've been highlighting during the past two and a half hours. the most peaceful and violent protests that have been going on in cities around the country and there are questions about federal forces. are they in these cities and those local government officials who have president for those who have been asked to remove them, we talked about kids and a jobs and vaccine. here we go with kayleigh mcenany now the podium. >> good morning everyone. by any objective standard of violence, chaos and anarchy in portland is unacceptable. yet democrats continue to put politics above peace while this president seeks to restore law and order.

the democrats said the president should stop playing politics on law enforcement officers and likened it to "a dictatorship." the president also called on the president to get his officers off the streets. todd wheeler said the president is trying to look strong for his base while you have democrats on the hill. nancy pelosi calling these officers stormed troopers and jim clyburn calling them the gestapo. this rhetoric is unhelpful and gives the violence we have seen a pass but president trump will not give the violence i passed. he will restore order where the democratic governor and democratic mayor are unwilling to admit that they've lost control of their cities. the well organized mob in portland has become increasingly aggressive especially against law enforcement officers.

and in the courthouse. we attempt to start the structure on fire as well. use of eyesight damaging laser devices have been used and that strobe lights against federal agents as well. but according to speaker pelosi when asked about the violent removal statues, people will do what they do. the trump administration urges state and local officials to work cooperatively to restore law and order. operation legend is a great example of this and at the governor's request we went into kansas city and searched the area with federal assets. fbi, atf and u.s. marshals. this was named after a 4-year-old young boy who lost his life and was shot in his bed tragically. this is a successful operation that was waged in his name.

we are searching resources and augmenting the federal protective service to safeguard federal properties. this is law and order which leads to peace and we will not allow portland to become the new chop like what we saw in seattle. we thought, i take questions. >> two questions on portland, won the case of navy veteran christopher david who went down because he said he wanted to talk to a law enforcement officer and asked them about the oath of office that they took. he was as people saw on videotape, and he was beaten with a baton, he had pepper spray to the face, he now has two broken bones in his hand. as a president aware of what happens to this navy veteran, graduate of the naval academy

and does he condone that kind of action by the law enforcement officers? >> i'm aware of the details of that situation but haven't heard of the audio. we always encourage the appropriate use of force and we also encourage those in the area to remain peaceful towards our law enforcement officers. it's become my second question is we are in the constitution does a president derive the authority to send out law enforcement officers to the streets of american cities against the will of elected officials in the cities? >> what you are referring to his portland code at 3135 gives the officers the ability, and as officers and agents that can be deputized by the duty owned or occupied by the federal government. and when a federal courthouse is being lit on fire and commercial fireworks being shot at it and shot at the officers i think that falls pretty well within

the limits. >> that's a matter of protecting federal property, how far does that power extend to the streets of portland. what are the limitations of that, the authority to protect it? >> under the law we believe they can conduct information, and running across the street, we don't believe that extends past the jurisdiction. >> he said that wearing a mask as an act of patriotism. hours later it spotted at the trump hotel not wearing a mask. why did it taken so long first of all to wear a mask in public and why the mixed messaging on this critical health issue that

his own health official has said is critical to fighting the pandemic? >> masts according to the cdc recommended that all required and he said he could wear one in the case that he could not appropriately socially distance. he wore one and then put up the picture on twitter as you saw. >> they've gone back to montmartre for the 31st when he said my feeling is if people want to do it -- >> is it not a mixed signal >> and there are negotiations that are ongoing and why is the white house walking republicans, no one is

blocking any money from testing. one of the things i would add is that that this is an ongoing in negotiation and we are just in the early days of that currently, and federal coffers, we have, we are willing to put in target for bid testing which already contains. >> the president keeps pushing for it, why is that so and important to him? >> there are a number of things that we look at for phase four and one of those things as unemployment benefits. whereas secretary mnuchin said we want to be completed.

if we don't want something to be an incentive for someone gets overpaid and has a disincentive from going back to work where they get paid more in unemployment benefits then back to work. but the payroll tax in particular, that goes to some of our hardest working americans. and those are people who still have jobs. we are right about the overall cost of this. we can focus on a number of things at once and part of that is middle income americans and working their way through as best they can and it also means unemployment benefits and we are looking at all of that and would like to see all of that. >> should we expect to see members of the coronavirus task

task force with dr. fauci and will dr. brooks be there? >> in portland, as well as plans for chicago, why are these -- my understanding is these agents often work on human smuggling and drug trafficking and things like that. do they have the right skill set whether it's gun violence in chicago, unrest in portland. >> these dhs officials are currently protecting a courthouse. it's egregious what's happening, the frequency jammers, it's being depicted as a peaceful scene but i can assure you it's anything about that.

the injury to border patrol, and this is not a peaceful scene. i'm very thankful to our u.s. marshals and easy to find others who are acting in accordance with the statute and protecting the federal building and doing so i great cost to themselves. >> i have two questions for you on the stimulus. since you guys are permitted to the payroll tax, if the white house views the $1 trillion figure that's been cited as a hard pass, are you willing to son's something that would spend more than that? >> these are all pulmonary discussions and related to the negotiations to decide the trillion dollar number. but look. this is the beginning stages and we are looking at a number of things but the president is very clear.

along with liability protections and of course $70 billion for schools to reopen safely. at least 70 billion. >> what are the and we do want to see more testing funding but we wanted to be targeting and we wanted to be targeted and that's the pool testing that is being worked on. you can run four or five times as many tests in the same period of time by decreasing turnaround times with a minimum of two-thirds. so that goes down to less than one, if it took six days a goes down to less than two.

and cms is funding the test and so that ppe requirements can be met. they did identify themselves to individuals, but that they don't identify themselves to crowd because it puts them at great risk. we are sticking their hands out to boards left out by some of the writers. >> on june 16th a little more than a month ago, the white house feel the vice president published an op-ed in "the wall street journal." the op-ed said that the media has tried to scare the american

people about the coronavirus and it talked about low positivity rates and declining case numbers and half of the states. there are 25,000 additional deaths since it was published. does the white house standby that are bad and generally, what happened here in the white house administration in the last month when the message was that this was a problem that was on the mend and being addressed, until now with the exploding cases that we have seen and 141,000 deaths. >> the white house has been very clear eyed that no matter what happened with it's the embers and it's now 19 teams to go to emerging hot spots. dr. britt dr. deborah birx has o nine states that we have been clear eyed that as we reopen we would see and embers and sometimes fires. but when we look at case

fatalities sometimes we are looking at european unions and we are below the average of the world and that speaks to our incredible work with therapeutics, and that's 13.9 million. >> do you still see the main problem that the media is trying to scare the american people over coronavirus? >> i think many times that media has tried to scare the american people. there's been at devastating -- for the american cancer society says during the pandemic we saw an 80% drop in cancer cases being identified, they are art strike zirconium -- he never heard that mammograms were down by 87% and colonoscopies were down by 90% and drug overdoses going up month after month through the lock down. so if it was the right decision to make and the president saved three or 4 million lives but it's important to note the other

side of the healthy equation about what lockdown stew to the american people. >> the president wants to extend these forces to other cities like chicago, a city where the federal property isn't necessarily under attack. what are they going to do when they get to chicago and these other cities with higher crime rates and higher shooting rates and higher murder rates, if the president is worried about that, what are they going to do? >> i think you are getting ahead of the president here. he's made no announcement as to who is going where. he's very discouraged by the violence he seen in chicago and that's why he sent a very strong letter to mayor lightfoot offering help because she's clearly unable to control her streets and the governor as well is unable to control that area. when you see the fact that there were 49 officers who were injured in this egregious video of them being lambasted with rioters with umbrellas,

shielding from view that they were throwing projectiles and that not only this but the poor citizenry of chicago, and it's incredible what we are seeing in chicago. he has offered his help and will encourage the mayor to take it to be forthright about the situation in her her state, much like the governor of missouri was. >> but the leader of the cities don't necessarily want unmarked police officers patrolling their streets away have seen in portland, and with the premise that they are protecting federal property there. the leaders in these cities don't want this. >> they are offered the assistance of doj as was done we had fbi surge in the cases of operation legend. so when we have each weekend more than a dozen people getting shot in the city, perhaps it's time to say i need the help of the federal government because what i'm doing is simply not

working, when more people are dying on the streets of chicago than afghanistan and iraq, it's a tragedy. >> i have a question about new york. yesterday president trump mentioned the spike in violent crime in new york and he said "if the governor is not going to do something about it, we will do something about it. i'm curious as to why he is saying the government should do something about it rather than the mayor and also if you could elaborate on what president trump is willing to do? >> he thinks the mayor and the government work together where in some places we've seen 600% surge of violence in last year, and it's ultimately the power of the mayor to enforce in the governor, the governor to enforce the police power of their states and that rests with them, and they can partner with the federal government's and that's certainly what we have seen from mayor de blasio who seems to have not a hard time

criticizing police officers but an awfully hard time controlling the streets of new york city. >> i have two questions on this, one for myself and one for someone who is social distancing. governor and gavin newsom was one of the few democratic governors to bring in the national guard and armed them after the riots in early june, compared to seattle where they didn't use the national guard. within days of violence was there as well. why not invoke the direction act? >> i will leave that to the president. we don't have secretive operations going on, it's very clear what's going on in portland and it's clear what's happening in kansas city but with regard to the insurrection act, we believe that it should be governors and mayors doing what they have the constitutional power to do, the police power rests with them so it's up to the president whether he ever decides to invoke that. but governors and mayors need to

step it up particularly in democrat cities were democrats streets are out of control. >> and the one from my colleag colleague, what are the president's thoughts on supporting joe biden? john kasich, supporting joe biden and he plans to attend to the convention. >> that would be a question for the campaign but this president is quite proud of their record in the republican party and quite proud to have the support of 96% of the party more than any predecessor. >> you said earlier the president was tested multiple times a day but can you elaborate on that? >> is tested often, i'm not going to read out how many times he's tested per day but sometimes it is more than one time per day. at >> yesterday previously on the briefing we had a lot of -- record numbers of people

watching television and i wonder if these are -- he's the best person to get accurate information about the fire is out to the public, and investing to work on the treatment and the virus statistics. >> the president was elected by the american people and he has been a leader on this, the fact that we have out produced on ventilators so much so that we have an extraordinary number in our stockpile and we are giving ventilators out to the rest of the world, and we lead the world in testing, 46 million tests more than that. at this point the fact that he has broken down bureaucracy to get up vaccine and a phase three physical trial, it's because of him that we have the therapeutics. he's the right person to give the information to the american people and boy, does he give the

information to a lot of people during his briefing. >> the u.s. representative is planning -- the president going to impose additional sanctions? >> since that preis predecisional i won't get ahead of any administrational announcements on that front. >> yes? >> this one is the president tweeted and is largely concerned about the integrity of the u.s. election. and certainly, it's internal but why are we not concerned about external sabotage. for example coming out of the u.k. today there is a parliamentary committee report that says that russia influenced the scottish referendum other questions about brexit. but what we hear from him today

on that? >> if the president put the world on notice that our election systems must be secured. under this president in 2018 he articulated the first global cyber strategy for the united states since 2003 and in 2019 he extended the national emergency declaration on foreign election interference. he routinely engages with congress on election security. security specific hearings, and so on and so forth. the obama/biden administration who told of meddling and in fact susan rice told the cyber team to stand down and "knock it off when they floated options to combat cyber attacks and -- >> i'm asking what has been done now.

given these fresh concerns what are we going to hear from the president? >> i've just listed off three or four things for you and i'm happy to go through more. we can talking about the 71 million on election security and talk about legislation making more than 805 million available for state. >> when it comes to mail in voting i would devote point due to the fact that there is a "wall street journal" article just out today and it talks about the dark omen for november and the absolute catastrophe in new york city. we are a month into the election after the voting and we still don't know who the winners are some of those races. governor cuomo decided he would prepay postage for the ballot and what that meant,

they've found is you must find a 19% have been in queens and there are questions about mass mail outbuildings. i know you don't want to hear them which is why you talk over me but i encourage you to read the op-ed. >> with the china vaccine research, in st. louis, we've been charged with -- the attorney general is where does the president stand on this. >> he said it's absolutely absurd, and it's happening to the mccloskey's. instead he is charging the individuals who are defending themselves from violent protesters. you have 300-500 protesters, and

at the moment they were waving their guns to protect themselves. they were going to come in here and she said they were going to bring down the house, living in her house after she's dead and they were pointing to different rooms in the house thing that's going to be my bedroom and that's going to be my living room and i'll be taking a shower in that room. it's an egregious abuse of power on the part of the mccloskey's. turning to a different note, i want to highlight some great work being done by ivanka trump. there are nearly 40 million boxes that have been put together by the families pharmacy family food box program, a great partnership to help families in need in this country. yesterday you had a ponca tribe visiting the d.c. center and that the distribution resulted in 1,000 boxes delivered to the d.c. community.

we thank ivanka for the great work that she has done there. finally i wanted to note something on covid. dr. birx has dedicated her time to serving our country as an army colonel and spent her life fighting aids and hiv abroad. that's based on no facts and, that's 400 pages of data to our governors. i have not seen anyone poring over date of the weight dr. birx has any attack on her was frankly appalling and egregious in "the new york times" should be ashamed of themselves. >> bill: kayleigh mcenany

there, the coronavirus briefings, with a few things on crime. violence would not get a pass. organized mob has -- the president stands for law and order. with regard to covid, she says at least 70 billion for schools to reopen and when asked whether or not the media has reported this fairly, she called it a deficit in reporting because of the human costs and extended lockdown which had not been reported in its entirety. so that is the brief. melissa, you are listening as well from the white house a moment ago? >> melissa: yes.

they asked will dr. fauci be there this afternoon, and in classic tees fashion she said, he will have to tune in to see. >> bill: and we shall. i mentioned the briefing, 5:00 eastern time. in between all of that, you should be listening for that as afternoon unwinds. also a top white house officials saying it's time for people to go to jail. so then, the question is, is john durham ready to reveal findings on the russian probe? we might get an answer. at the house ranking member joins us after this. >> i think the american people expect indictments, i know i inspect indictments on the evidence i've seen. [narrator] t.

he used to have gum problems. now, he uses therabreath healthy gums oral rinse with clinically-proven ingredients and his gum problems have vanished. (crowd applauding) therabreath, it's a better mouthwash. at walmart, target and other fine stores.

>> you're going to see a couple 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 is all starting to come unraveled, to unravel, and i tell you, it's time people go to jail and people were indicted. >> bill: that's mark meadows, white house chief of staff, talking about the inquiry led by john durham into the origins of the fbi russia collusion investigation. republican devin nunes, ranking member intel committee with me now. good day to you, not a ton of time because of the hearing, but as john durham ready to spell it? >> look, we don't know what john durham is doing, which is appropriate. he's the executive branch, he's running an investigation, he is appointed to do that. here in congress, bill, we've made 14 criminal referrals, we've asked for a 15th want to do an investigation. i can update you, i know people get frustrated but you have to remember that congress, we don't have badges and we don't have guns. all we can do is make these referrals. our investigation continues. if you notice, just in the last few days we have learned a lot more information about the

so-called steele dossier that was created by and paid for by the clinton campaign. and fusion gps. >> bill: just in the interest of time, such as what? >> specifically, we now know that the head of the brookings institute was involved in this dossier. right now we are looking at the three d's. the development of the dossier, the dissemination of the dossier, and there was the defense of the dossier. what's interesting is the brookings institute, which is a well-known think tank here in washington, d.c., center left is what they pride themselves as, they were involved for sure in the dissemination and for sure in the defense of the dossier. we just don't know yet if they were also involved in the developing. i think this is a major part of the story, if indeed one of the major think tanks in the city was involved in the dossier. >> bill: we will see if that

comes to pass. thank you for your time and for being patient, devin nunes. >> my pleasure. ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy. whoo-hoo! great tasting ensure with 9 grams of protein, 27 vitamins and minerals, and nutrients to support immune health. i thought it had to be thick to protect. but new always discreet is made differently. with ultra-thin layers that turn liquid to gel and lock it inside. for protection i barely feel. new always discreet. did you know liberty mutual customizes your car insurance ta-da! so you only pay for what you need? given my unique lifestyle, that'd be perfect! let me grab a pen and some paper. know what? i'm gonna switch now. just need my desk... my chair... and my phone.

>> melissa: the fbi identifying the gunman who attacked the family of a federal judge in new jersey, killing her son. laura ingle's life with more on this. laura? >> hi, melissa. we have learned a lot more about the suspect, a self-described antifeminist lawyer from new york who investigators say was recently diagnosed with cancer and may have been looking to take out some of his enemies. according to reports, he took out a 1700 page self published book online this year in which he wrote about his hatred of his mother, other women, and female judges and specifically name to salas in the name-calling rant. he appeared before judge salas

in 2015 arguing a case that the military draft was sexist. according to reports, salas allowed his case to continue in 2019, but last month scheduled oral arguments. salas was unarmed in sunday's ambush and we have learned that the fbi has contacted the chief judge of new york to wine her that her picture and name are found with his body. the investigation continues. melissa? >> melissa: what a tragedy, laura. thank you for that report. we'll be right back. can my side be firm?

"outnumbered" starts right now. see you at 3:00 eastern time. until then, here's harris. >> harris: thank you, bill. fox news alert now, a fierce political battle brewing over president trump's threat to send in more federal officers to united states cities where unrest is now so violent. the chicago police department has released this shocking video of one such protest from last friday. 49 police officers left hurt. white house press secretary kayleigh mcenany ripping democratic mayors over the violence in the cities just moments ago. >> violence, chaos, and anarchy in portland is unacceptable. democratic governors and democratic mayors are unwilling to admit that they h
