false. this was produced by democrat opposition research operatives and peter stzrok knew this. the fbi leadership knew this but they pursue the case, they abuse the fisa process and spied on a presidential campaign and didn't let up once the duly elected president took office. if the house flips, jim jordan, judiciary chairman and i'm chairman of the oversight committee i can promise the american people the leadership of the fbi will be held accountable for this abuse of power. jillian: this is a statement from peter stzrok's lawyers in the washington examiner, congressional lackeys to use work products to paint the russia investigation as a political witchhunt. your response to that and where do we go from here?

the concern that this could be used to spy on law-abiding citizens. no one dreamed that the intelligence community would go so far as to spy on a presidential campaign with no evidence and to this day the leadership of the fbi never stepped forward and said they made a mistake or given explanations publicly as to why they pursue this matter. the more it comes to light the more troublesome it is and i think they should be held accountable. jillian: the house will remove statues of confederate figures. what will happen today? >> i'm sure nancy pelosi and democrats will vote to remove the statues was we have a lot of problems in america. i came to congress to solve a lot of problems. statues is not on the list of most americans priorities. the rule states every state has the opportunity to put two statues in the capital.

some states made the decision to remove a statue or two. that is a local decision. so many problems with respect to the economy and trying to get our kids back to school this fall and pelosi wants to waste an entire day talking about statues in the capital. policy does not prioritize the issues i think most americans care about and we are going to talk about statues. we can't erase the past, we study history to learn from our past mistakes and try not to repeat those mistakes in the future. it is very unfortunate what pelosi is spending time on today. rob: we appreciate it. 18 after the hour. the second major league team this week taking a knee during the national anthem. the support and criticism for this movement.

far as testing goes? >> we are getting there. the president gave a detailed, thorough and serious update and highlights important aspect of this disease. one of them being testing and a turnaround, looking at a process called fool testing which can reduce the amount of wait time. because of the massive amount of testing, we have a shortage of supplies, it has taken two weeks. with school testing, can reduce the turnaround time from 1:45 or 3 days, a loved one in a nursing home, you need to be checked off and make sure you are asymptomatic. definitely we have come a long way. we work on expediting results and a lot of hope.

don't practice common sense measures. the transmission is in the younger population. we know what affects the most vulnerable, we are putting efforts to the most vulnerable groups. but the spikes you see in texas, california, arizona are among the younger population, an emphasis how it is to wear a mask. if you can't social distance, to this virus. >> everybody wondering where we are with a possible vaccine and other therapeutics. >> we are very aware of this disease. we understand this disease, no one was able to fully understand. will be end up at your therapeutics or vaccine very soon, all three. jillian: how close are we to a vaccine? >> we have come a long way and learned so much regarding

officers, protesters committing felonies, the big government should have stepped up and supported local government, they never should have had to go into the cities to help restore some semblance of peace, protesters should have been able to protest as much as they wanted in the violence should have been separated by the state. rob: the surge in homicides, the numbers are up 51%, portland as seen a drop in homicide but they are seeing the -- you are the mayor of a city like portland. a lot of people destroying the city on a nightly basis. looting and rioting, what do you do to stop this issue after 40 or 50 days? >> find out what policy initiatives they push forward, the system changes in order --

services. they walk a line. local interview, which he clarifies to support the police, the defund the police movement, that is obviously nationally we are seeing a lot of conversation in battleground states like arizona to defund the police movement is not a popular thing to have. they won't support a president who does that. on local tv to make that clarification is a huge reversal from comments he has made on activist networks and interviews where he says he supports redirecting police funding and does support the tenets of the defund the police movement trying to play both sides.

rob: a political calculation, he. a lot of states if he is defunding police. >> joe biden has always been a moderate voice and the party. with criminal justice reform. rob: thank you for your time. we will be right back. . . find your keys. find your get-up-and-go. find pants that aren't sweats. find your friends. find your sense of wander. find the world is new, again. at chevy we'd like to take you there. now during the chevy open road sales event, get up to 15% of msrp cash back on select 2020 models.
