portland where federal agents facing off with protesters for weeks now. dan springer has the latest on the west coast on that story. but we began with chief white house correspondent john roberts where the news is that sour on the north lawn. john, good afternoon. >> bill, good afternoon, pushed back and it will happen around 3:20 or after that as you mentioned a second ago. the president expected to announce an expansion of something known as operation legend to the cities of chicago and albuquerque, starting in kansas city earlier this month and partners together agents from the atf and the dea with local law enforcement. the violence aimed with a 4-year-old boy who was killed june 29th when a stray bullet went into his apartment building and killed him when he was sleeping. in terms of what will happen in chicago, the initial plan to send 150 federal officers into the windy city but that plan was

pulled back. instead, the president expected to announce this afternoon 100 personnel for the fbi u.s. marshals, dea, currently in chicago will be "loaned to the department of justice to assist in fighting crime in the city." a program chicago lori lightfoot signed on to yesterday, listen here. >> and like what happened in portland, what we will receive is three forces that will plug into the existing federal agencies that we work with on a regular basis to help manage and suppress violent crime in our cities. i have been very clear that we welcome actual partnerships, but we do not welcome dictatorship. >> bill: while the white house is confident the partnership will be effective, the press secretary continued to have harsh words for lightfoot and other democratic mayors. this is what kayleigh mcenany said last night. >> merrill lori lightfoot up

chicago has lost control of her city. mayor bill de blasio of new york city has lost control of his city. the democratic governors have lost control of their streets, at least to missouri you have a governor who came to the president and said hey come i want federal help. whatever i can do to make sure that this never happens again. >> mayor lightfoot might be on board but joe biden continues to blanket criticize the president for everything he's tried to do on law and order across the country. joe biden in a statement saying "we have a president to sow chaos and division and make matters worse instead of better. we need a president to bring us together instead of terrorists apart from a calm instead of inflame, enforce the law rather than put his political interest first." officials in albuquerque thought that federal forces like we have been seeing in portland were coming to albuquerque. now that we know the details of this plan are a lot different than that. we will see how they react later today after the presidents announcement in about 20 minutes from now.

>> thank you, john, nice to see you and we will be back shortly john roberts from the white house. >> bill: let's go to shaba to chicago now. 15 people should hurt in a shooting outside of a funeral home and only surveillance video from the scene of the crime. [gun shooting] >> bill: chicago's mayor calling cowards. mike's life from chicago without, what happened, my? >> bill, this is the scene outside of the funeral home where the aftermath of a visitation for a gangster who was killed erupted into gunfire. security video shows a terrifying moments when the shots rang out. witnesses tell us attendees of the visitation returned gun fire with a hail of gunfire out here. the police say some 60 shell casings on the ground. the gunman got away. it was a drive-by from a stolen chevy malibu. police suspected this visitation could be the target of a

vendetta so the police were stationed here. still, that did not stop the dried bite. now the mayor is asking people from the community who do not cooperate with the police to cooperate with information. >> somebody listening at this moment knows who is responsible for these crimes. someone, listen, has valuable information that could lead to their apprehension. and to bring a measure of justice to the victims. >> along with the relationship between police and community is broken like i've never seen it before. you're not going to have people come forward and share information with people they don't trust. year to date, murders in chicago up 51%, shootings are up 47%. mayor lightfoot and community activists have pushed back against the idea of federal troops coming to chicago although the chicago police don't have the authority to refuse him. what the mayor and others want

or federal resources, bill. >> bill: mike tobin, things, watching that from chicago. the acting homeland security say federal agents will stay in portland, oregon, for now has the protest continued day 55 and counting. as i mentioned the mayor of portland, seattle and other major cities calling for the feds to leave accusing the trump administration of using the tactics of a "authoritarian regime." team fox coverage continues dan springer back on the story in seattle now. >> bill, there was a riot downtown portland yet again last night and the portland police know where to be seen. they were almost bragging about that fact in a press release. the violence began when vandal started destroying the plywood that covers glass doors and windows at the federal courthouse. the arsonist also said prayers next to buildings. the cortland -- the portland police refused to engage so inside the courthouse came outside. they used tear gas, nonlethal means to protect the courthouse. this come as you said the 55th

straight night of portland protest and after most of the days leading up to the arrival of federal officers, the night ended just like this but with portland cops clearing the riot and two-point tear gas. the acting secretary of homeland security said if federal officers were not they are, the courthouse and federal building nearby would be destroyed. speak with these individuals carry lasers, baseball bats, explosive fireworks, metal pipe, glass bottles, excel rents and other weapons all targeting federal facilities and federal law enforcement. and yet the city of portland takes little to no action. >> secretary with said there is note doubt this enforcement is legal protecting federal buildings is a duty and if officers witness a crime while doing that job, they are not restricted when making arrests. since july 4th come agents have made 43 arrests in 13 people are facing federal charges that come with longer sentences. this is not the first time portland place have left federal

law enforcement on their own. back in 2018, the mayor ordered local police to not help i.c.e. agents deal with occupation protest at the ice office in portland unless it was a life-threatening emergency. yet local and state elected officials don't want or need federal officers. >> when i spoke with the director of the department of homeland security last week, i told him to go home and to take his federal troops with him. >> and bill, today the federal officials are beefing up security around the federal courthouse. we are seeing some barriers the web, concrete barriers and fencing. no security cameras being installed, bill. >> bill: dan, we are waiting for the news from the white house in a moment. i know you are anticipating as well. what are you hearing from officials in the state of washington, seattle specifically were portland, as to what the president has in mind here next? >> we'll be no the elected officials both the u.s. senators down in oregon and the governor

and all the local officials they are in portland want the federal officers to leave. there is no doubt about that. initially mayor wheeler in portland said he had no authority to tell them to leave, but now he is doing just that. he knows that they have the authority to be there to protect the federal assets, the federal buildings in the courthouse. yet, now he is saying he wants them to go because of the reporting last week that there were some arrests being made and the federal officers were using unmarked cars. but again, unmarked cars are not unusual for law enforcement to use if they drove a federal vehicle in there where they drove a federal police looking vehicle inside there, they would be pelted. so they were using unmarked cars to do just that. bill. >> bill: we will see what the president has to add on that in a moments from the white house. dan, dan springer in seattle. this just in to fox, the chinese foreign ministry spokesperson saying the bomb and death threats have been made against

at the same time, scientists say they are getting closer to a vaccine. the trump administration just announced this, the government will spend nearly $2 million to buy 100 million doses of the vaccine, pfizer bio intact. the goal is to have those ready by the end of this year. dr. peter, infectious disease expert, back with us today, doctor you have been with us since the beginning. it is nice to see you again. what do you make of the pfizer news today on behalf of the government? >> this is the idea behind warp speed and so the idea is we are going to have those vaccine doses ready to distribute to the public as soon as we have a green light to know the vaccines actually work and that they are safe. there are five vaccines and operation warp speed altogether. some of the vaccines will work differently and some will be protect only against disease potentially, not against

infections and others for infections, some will work better in older people. some that are in debilitated populations and health care providers. the idea is you will have a menu of options potentially may be four or five different vaccines to choose from. i think this is maybe the first large contract with a scaled manufactured of one of those five. >> bill: okay, i'm always looking for good news. i think this is good news. this puts us a step closer, i think, anyway. i want to play sound bite from the president's briefing last night, and get you to interpret what you thought he meant by the following, watch. >> it will probably unfortunately get worse before it gets better. something i don't like saying about things, but that is the way it is. that is what we have. when you look all over the world, it's all over the world. it tends to do that. >> bill: so it is going to get worse before it gets better. when you heard that, doc, what

did you think? >> well, i'm not too surprised we are dealing with this massive surge of covid-19 across the southern states, especially in the metro area as miami is getting hit hard, the metro area, texas, houston, san antonio, dallas, austin, phoenix, and los angeles. so we have to figure out a way through this. how to bring this back down. you know, new york did it, new york city did it as well as other cities in the northeast. it is still climbing in many parts of the south. so we will have to look at what kind of containment measures will be needed in order to bring this back down. so it will get worse before it gets better, but then figuring out between the white house and the governors how to do this is going to be paramount. >> bill: may be he takes it a bit further today when we get the briefing around 5:00 today. the companies requiring people people to wear masks, this has a

spreading issue now, literally. the washington, d.c., mayor said everybody has to wear a mask. we just heard word from ohio the encouragement will happen there as well. do they work? is it necessary? what is your feeling now? >> they seem to do two things. one, this is a virus that multiplies and high amounts in your mouth and nose and so when you are speaking, you release gazillion particles into the atmosphere. lots of virus. wearing that mask will keep that virus contained in prevent release. that is one thing it does. it also seems to help you from acquiring the virus. not completely, but between those to come if everybody is wearing masts, we know transmission can really slow down. this is one of the things we are doing. in houston everybody is wearing a mask when you go outside. the mask helps leveled off, whether or not mask alone will

be able to control is the big question. this is the thing the governors are all struggling with whether we need to go to the next step now or next measure. so these are going to be critical couple of weeks. and with regard worse before it gets better, terrible tragedy in south texas among hispanic community and people living in poverty, sort of the essential workers who can't work from home via skype and have to be in the workplace. that is heart breaking the stories we are seeing. this is tough for the nation, but i think we can do this if we put our minds to it. >> thank you, dog commit it's good to see you and the best with south texas as well. peter, thank you, doc. >> all the best. >> bill: and to you as well. the white house to crackdown with what we will take you there but tensions with china getting harder by the day. after the u.s. ordered one of the consulates to shut down, the

>> this is more of a war of words. the sanctions are on both sides. human rights abuses called out by many parties and now we see the consulate closing in houston. this is a relationship theory deteriorating. china to call out the closing of the houston consulate and a violation of international law and they said they will respond. this could lead to the reciprocal closing of u.s. consulate in china. but the u.s. remains clear that it would be used by the chinese to gather intelligence and spy on the u.s. >> we are setting up clear expectations how the chinese communist party will behave. when they don't, we will take actions that protect the american people, protect their security, national security, and also protect our economy and jobs. >> secretary pompeo was largely about uniting countries against the chinese threats. both the u.s. and u.k. intelligence this week accused china also with malicious cyber attacks against commercial, medical and academic

institutions including those working on coronavirus research. china continues to revoke elsewhere in the world. taiwan's defense system almost daily and noted an increase of chinese threats to use force to take control of the island. that could be the next big flash point. as a result u.s. with an upgrade. there is a coalition of countries coming together to condemn china and human rights abuses, political and economic abuses pier the question is how for this regimen deteriorates and how quickly, bill. >> bill: benjamin hall that story from london, that story. the story you will only see here. international outrage and pressure growing against china over treatment of a muslim minority group in that country. the chinese government denying the existence of so-called concentration camps. and downplaying this video you are seeing here from late 2019, which appears to show blindfolded leave errors on the trains.

the government accusing beijing of rights abuses and the u.s. slapping sanctions on chinese companies suspected of being complacent uighurs, and her father is a uighurs with a life sentence in china and, welcome to the program here. seven years ago, 2013, your father was taken prisoner. you came to indiana shortly thereafter. what do you remember from that separation? >> 2013, february 2nd, was last time i saw my father at the beijing international airport. he was by the university of and i was only planning to accompany him and spent three weeks as a vacation, but as a teenager, appeared to have no threats to the government officials. i was allowed to leave the country, but my father was arrested at the airport.

then, he started 11 months of house arrest time and in austria, he was taken away from our apartment in beijing. and then he was charged for separatism, related charges and now he's serving a life sentence. >> bill: the last time you saw him was 2017. that was two years ago. why would the chinese communist government consider him to be a threat? he was running a website that was apparently the bridge the culture gap between uighurs and china. and native chinese. why would that be? >> first of all, my father was a well-known economics professor at beijing university. he was well known for his peaceful suggestions and his website. so he was trying by building this website, he wanted to provide a platform for the

people, the uighurs and other minorities to create understanding with each other. platform like facebook, twitter or ban an olson birch engines like google. so the information in china can have access. there is only one type of information, and that his tv. and of course, that creates various information's to the chinese citizens. and people with understanding people might have of hate, created hate with each other. my father wanted to use this website to create understanding and to promote peaceful dialogue or coexistence between the uighurs people and trainees. >> bill: let me ask you, you have seen this video, right? you have seen this video of these uighurs from 2019 that i mentioned it. what you think was happening there?

>> i believe that was a transformation of people from one camp to another camp. and i think this is a perfect -- proving the assistance of so-called can't camps but i call it a concentration camp. >> bill: you are receiving an award this week. victims of communism memorial foundation. what does that mean to you? >> this award, just like every other ward my father had received does not only acknowledge my father's work and his brave nests, but it also sheds light on the uighurs cause. and it brings attention from international community to the uighurs cause. now this is what the uighurs people need. and my father is not the only person here or there are thousands of hundreds of uighurs just like my father are locked

up in a prison or concentration camp. there are hundreds of thousands of daughters and sons just like me that can't see their parents, cannot call their parents and cannot communicate. they don't even know just like me if their parents are alive or not. >> bill: well met, you are brave, thank you for sharing your story with us and we will stay in contact with you. good luck when you receive the award. >> thank you very much. >> bill: thank you for your time. violence continues in major cities and we will hear in a moment the president with combat rising crime. we will take you there. ted williams and the judge napolitano have a lot of ideas on this. we spoke to both men after this.

♪ >> bill: it is known as operation legend. president trump to announce his combat to crime in the cities. we will get an update on in the east room. we are hearing federal officers

working out of chicago will essentially be on loan for the doj to fight crime. ted wheeler is here and so was fox news senior judicial analyst judge napolitano. whether the government can legally get involved, ted wheeler, let's talk about your life and times of the d.c. detective, ted. do you think this is a better option than what we saw in portland? do you support this? >> my question is to deal whether it is a better option, but it is important to deal with primarily the demonstrators. even in chicago you are dealing with turf war, gangs, so that is the economy between the two. also you have to remember, supposedly we will hear from trump. and that is already stationed in chicago and will be helping out. they are already doing that in chicago. so i'm hoping to hear more than

the status quo from the president. >> bill: all right, ted, here it is. the measure includes 100 people, many of whom continue to do the regular jobs as you point out but be able to help fight street crime as it arises. would this not be helpful based on what we have been watching for the past couple of months, ted? no, absolutely no. let me just tell you, neil, that crime in chicago, you've got that gang turf out here and gain more. and the fact about it is, 100 men, women are not going to make the difference in chicago. what is going to have to happen in chicago is that the citizens, the citizens are going to have to get involved and the help to take back of their neighborhood. >> bill: that is a fact, ted,

thanks. i called you wheeler. i will never do that again. wheeler is the mayor in portland. thank you, ted, and the judge right now what the president can do with federal authority. judge, size it up for us. what would be used? >> good afternoon, bill, always a pleasure to be with you. the constitution prohibits the introduction of the military into in the state without the expressed request of the state legislature or if the legislature can't meet the governor. now, i don't think the president is going to introduce the military. he has spoken about that, but i think he has been persuaded not to do so. so the question comes down to this: can he was federal police, whether you call them dhs or border patrol or fbi where u.s. marshals, they are federal police. some wear uniform and some civilian clothes. can he use them to enforce domestic laws against the wishes

of the governor or the legislature and the state? and they are federal law says no. so if the president says in a few minutes to the mayor of chicago, he is a lot of money and here is some manpower. if you want them, we will give them to you and we can work alongside your people. she come along so long the governor of illinois goes along with it can say yes. but if she says no, for whatever reason she says no, the supreme court is very clear, the president must honor and respect that. so the short answer is that they cannot be on the streets involved in domestic law enforcement against the will of the local and state authorities. that is federal law. that is the military and the constitution. >> bill: that would make sense, "operation legend" started in kansas city, missouri. it was started because a 4-year-old boy by the name of legend was shot and killed while he was sleeping in late june.

and so the governor of missouri asked the law enforcement come in and assist the local police. by your definition that is what works. >> not only does that work but that's constitutional the poor people of portland whatever reason want to handcuff the police, there is nothing the feds can do about that. the police have to get the mayor out of there as jefferson said when the government systematically and repeatedly refused to protect the lights or assaults the rights commit is a duty for the people to overrule or abolish but that does not let the feds and portman the colleague dan springer reported made things, sleep worse. >> bill: we are standing by as well. nice to see you and ted today, thank you. meanwhile in new york city as we

await this announcement, new york city, this comes after nypd officers cleared out a protest camp near city hall. demonstrators started camping out there last month demanding because to the police department. in watching the story from the streets of new york city again today, what happened overnight? >> bill, good afternoon. take a look for yourself and an hour difference makes, the encampment for city hall no longer here, no more tense, no more people, sanitation workers cleaning the graffiti all day this with a lock down completely clean. take a look at the video we have gathered overnight. the police in riot gear began pushing people out of here just before 4:00. were in the park when they gave them a ten minute warning, and left voluntarily, seven arrested on only one charge for throwing a brick at an officer. interestingly enough, bill, they went in with their attorneys and

also took their own video. here is mayor bill de blasio. >> i said repeatedly, we always respect the right to protest, but we have to think about health and safety first and the health and safety issues were growing. so it is time to take action. that is a decision we made yesterday. because now thousands gathered here a month ago with demands to defund the police after the city did just that. many left and the area largely turned into an encampment with protesters left. when organizer told me this is a very sad day, but the movement is not over. listen. >> there are over 50,000 people that came here the last 30 days. so we know we have extreme power. we know we will escalate our taxes and we know that we will be disruptive. >> they are taking action tonight responding to this. they will have a protest may rally at 6:00 at union square, bill. >> we will see you then, thanks

for that, we are running a little bit late and expected 3:15. it got pushed back a little bit. there was a task force meaning that got under way to 30 at the white house. so there could be a possibility as to why we are waiting now. but when it begins we will take you life. in the meantime former president barack obama -- barack obama and biden back together and teamed up for socially distance campaign video, plus biden defending his economic plan to cost billions of dollars. reaction on that coming up shortly after this. this year, the alzheimer's association walk to end alzheimer's is everywhere. all of us are raising funds for one goal: a world without alzheimer's and all other dementia.

for biden but on the other hand tax increases even one that targets, generally popular, still can be tied to economic slow down, which is something that the train campaign will make a out of. >> bill: $8 trillion is a lot of taxes, donna, how are you going to sell it? take a first of all as you all know the current deficit fiscal year $2.7 trillion. so when we talk trillions, let's remember we are in a huge deficit right now not just because of the pandemic, which you can go back to the tax is paid for. what cbo is projecting right now, if we do nothing and we don't continue to try to make gains in the economy, we are looking at a huge load of deficit over the next ten to 12 years. the one thing that the vice president joins, he is offering some solution as to how he will pay for it. which includes tax increases on the wealthy.

but the bottom line is, we know, it won't come out of the sky. we are going to have to be able to get it from someplace. at least the vice president is putting forth plans to create jobs for the future and make sure american people can get back to work. >> bill: okay. it sounds like a lot of people to be paying taxes under the plan. but defense secretary marcus been in the room so maybe this event at the white house about to get underway. while we await that my two clips, tomorrow barack obama and joe biden with an extended i don't know if it was an interview or conversation. socially distant. we have a clip of that but then we cross row a segment, chris wallace's interview with the president of the white house fox news sunday. then we will talk about this. >> can you imagine standing up as a president and saying, it's not responsibility? i take no responsibility? i mean literally. speak with those words did not come out of our mouths during office.

>> do you take responsibility for that? look, i take responsibility always for everything because it is ultimately my job too. i have to get everybody in line. some have done well and some have not. they were supposed to have supplies and i supplied everybody. >> bill: well, i mean there it is responsibility back and forth. we can argue that my chris. i think what is interesting too, you start to see more pieces on the ground how you cannot bill my campaign during a pandemic. >> there is that, certainly. and also i want to trademark the cross role for what donna and i bring to your show. that is what we are delivering to you each week. look, cross row hurricane. >> socially distancing cross role. barack obama is biden's best asset in almost every way. and he is the one to lay his hands on the troubled waters of
