this seems to be expanding. i think about the fact that federal authorities have to be in the locality toss to protect federal property. you know what, if local politicians are fighting get federal authorities out. what would they do if they had actually had to do the job? is there a argument made if you don't want the help, let federal authorities leave. do you want to be held accountable if the cities go up in flames. they don't want federal authorities here. you guys are agitating the situation. you're the reason this is happening. griff: they can't do that. that is the whole point, right, jed? there is obligation on behalf of law enforcement. mark morgan the acting cbp commissioner yesterday, they're required by law to protect federal property. that is why under 40 u.s. code 1315 they're allowed to do so, to make arrests connected to threats to that property.

in the mark hatfield courthouse they have tried to burn down literally night after night. why this has escalated. there were chants i herd, i read, we are with portland, coming from what we saw in richmond last night. pete. pete: griff, you are correct. you capital how courthouses federal property to be defaced without creating a slippery slope. jed, i'm tempted by your perspective. if this is what you want in your city. if you can't control it. if you created such a toxic environment in these democrat-run cities, deal with it yourself. you created this mess, ultimately the feds shouldn't be your punching bag and an cues for excuse for the anarchy in these streets, the mayors are cone conveniently saying, if the president hadn't federal law enforcement officers to protect the courts whos we wouldn't have the violence which is a fake,

false argument. with these images. it draws, we'll talk a little bit about the biden campaign and a memo they put out at the 100 day mark until the election. it provides the contrast, do you want to burn america down or rebuild it? do you believe we can move past this? is this what you're going to see in the future going forward. feels like repeat, guys. we wake up every morning. where were the riots. where were the explosions, where were people attacked and happens next? griff: let me tell you though, there is a, event today. it is because of portland, you're having rallies here in d.c. pete, you are here. national guard protecting monuments. now we'll have a rally today. a group called shut down d.c. one of the activists groups are planning on going to acting dhs secretary chad wolf's house, big

jedediah: yeah. can you just, look at these photos. people, look at these images. you've been talking for a long time about calling these riots and not protests. does this at any normal person who is sitting at home looking at this, does this look like just a protest at this point? i mean things are going up in flames, being set on fire, the violence? it looks like a war zone in a lot of these cities. let's be really honest what is going on now. this is not a peaceful protest you have federal authorities coming in and disrupting. this is craziness. this is terrifying if you live in one of these cities. that is why they're there. they have no choice. they don't know what to do to contain the situation. anyone saying this is peaceful protest at this point? this is laughable. look at imagery we're showing. pete: explosive devices thrown at police. that is straight out of the marxist playbook. attempt to es can late in the

manner and through intimidation hope things change in your direction. griff, you're right, it won't work. it is a next level thing. we'll protest an individual where they live at their home with their family, which crosses yet another line. they don't care about crossing lines. griff: jed, a great point about imagery. yesterday i was watching in selma, alabama, the flag draped coffin of the late civil rights icon john lewis. they were playing "america the beautiful" in the service. i watched it while making dinner. struck me here is one of the country's great civil rights icons fought non-violently for change in country he continues to believe. in portland, they do not believe america. they actually hate it and don't believe in its greatness. talking about greats that we have lost, regis philbin a legend in television saturday. the world pointing out their

pete: welcome back. all eyes on capitol hill where senate republicans are expected to release the covid-19 relief bill tomorrow. as the 600-dollar federal unemployment benefit expires for millions of americans after today. our next guest says it is essential congress pass another stimulus. here to explain, former chief economist for the u.s. trade commission, peter morici. peter, thank you for being with us this morning. stimulus come it feels like a blinding pace. why is it essential, and what should it look like, peter. >> this crisis is lasting much longer than anticipated after the first stimulus was passed in march and most of the benefits are running out. the unemployment benefits are essential. at least 15 million people don't have many prospects working next few weeks, to say they're not working because they're betting benefits is silly. i expect to see the unemployment benefit extended. it would be nice if they weren't interrupted. they don't have to be at $600 a month. they can be at the level which

they were before. that would be fine. pete: unemployment benefit will be part of it. you have heard the criticism it is so robust that maybe it is preventing some people to go back into the workforce. you think right now with the possibility of another dip that that's not something we need to worry about? >> how many restaurants do you think are going to be reopening on monday morning in portland after tonight? if you're -- pete: it is a fair point. >> there are awful lot of places right now where businesses simply can't reopen. and, the northern cities are good example. but there is also other places where the viruses are such that even if you don't have lockdowns, the foot being traffic is not there. we have tracking data in this crisis we didn't have in the financial crisis. are people making reservations through the apps? we have weekly tracking data on hiring which we didn't have in the last crises. they all show in the last few weeks the economy turning down. so my feeling is to say they are

not taking jobs because they're getting the benefits is silly. but we can scale them back so people aren't being paid more to be unemployed than they were before. this is not a her cue lien task and i think it is being demagogued on both side. nancy wants to give everybody more than they earn through february. more free money from the democrats. the republicans are playing to the base, saying we don't want any freeloaders. reality, a, it is needed, time to compromise to get it done. pete: how about liability protection for businesses that open, is that in there? >> i would think it will be the senate bill and democrats will have to go along. you will not get mitch mcconnell to approve something without it. and he is probably going to have to pay for that with a little more in unemployment benefits than he would like. each will have to pay for the something for something dear to them. that's washington. pete: that is how it works.

you're absolutely right. a study came out reveals seven in 10 americans buy from small businesses intentionally to support them during covid-19. how is this impacting the economy? >> i think it's a positive thing to do because a lot of small businesses just don't have the volume to stay open and they're frankly out of cash. we have businesses closing every day where i live. that will never reopen again. so my feeling is, if people can steer their spending towards these small businesses, they're doing themselves a favor. after all, they do want the storefronts occupied, you know, come this time next year the virus will behind us. we'll have the vaccine. everybody will be immune, all that business. we want to have a vibrant economy when we return. reporter: peter, i hope you are correct. may you be. thank you very much for your time. we appreciate it. still ahead, we flatten the curve. now time to flatten the fear. that is from doctors across the

in the crossfire of an election season, of a presidential election season between republicans and democrats. they're having it out, unfortunately like i said, parents, teachers, students, especially students here are going to be hurt. we're very concerned about that. that is why we asked, put this petition out there, we are getting this kind of response which is amazing. you actually come from a family of teachers. you yourself i believe were a teacher. you know that teachers are saints in terms of the patience needed to teach kids. you know, parents are stressed, first of all, to know end in terms of what they can do to teach their kids at home, not, just because you're a great parent doesn't make you a great teacher. we're concerned about the level and quality of teaching that really is taking place in this home, you know, in-home learning environment and when you think about the negative social and economic impact that it is having on our families, especially quite frankly, lower

income, lower income households, this is tremendous, tremendous issue. i have to tell you, jed, this is actually very personal for me. i came from one of those lower household incomes when i was a kid. i have to tell you the saddest part of my day when that bell rang at the end of the day. i had to go back to a dad that frankly wasn't the nicest dad own the planet. school for me was my safety zone t was also a way of creating community. what we're taking away from our kids, especially in this what the petition is about, especially area, social development aspects of going to school an learning there is so, so critical. we're taking that away from our kids. that is why again we put this petition out, and we're getting the kind of response, positive response. by the way this is also supported with science. science is on our side on this jed. we got first of all cdc making a recommendation already. go ahead. sorry. jedediah: i grew up in a house where both parents had to work.

there wasn't really another financial option. so i don't know what would have happened to a child like me in a situation like this. it would have been really, really scary for my parents to figure that out. one of the concerns parents have, what will this look like? they're scared sending them to environment where kids are in masks all day. where they are in a bubble. healthy interaction in schools doesn't exist. is that something you can speak to at all? >> jed, there is a study been done with 15 different countries that already sent their kids back to school. absolutely, the classrooms will look different, we know that, because of social distancing, because of the different precautions have to take place. it will look different. look, you talk aabout masks. make the masks fun. create projects. make them superheroes. why do they have be black and blue masks like you're in a hospital? do outdoor learning. this is great opportunity to use outdoors as classrooms.

you don't necessarily have to stay in the classroom. expand that out. we're talking about the case rate specifically. they're the ones really, really desperately need social development. high schoolers they have a little more opportunity, a little more independence. my focus is the case rate. teachers, you know, we're saying is, please, speak out, speak up, stand up because we know, as you were as a teacher in the past, you love your kids, right? you love your children. you know this is the right thing to do. jedediah: yeah. >> let's not let this political nightmare traching -- taking place in the election season be the reason why our kids are hurting today. jedediah: thanks so much. you bring up an important point of teachers and schools need to think out of box. by the way have a spider-man mask. i'm ahead of the game. we appreciate it. >> hartley's birthday in november. happy pre-birthday. jedediah: yes. thanks so much. appreciate it. appreciate it so much. >> thanks, jed.

destablize our country. the hatred of the current president feed as lot of this. it is long since divorced from whatever origins of the anger. now this is anti-government, anti-police, anti-donald trump protests. and the police are right to be responding more forcefully having learned lessons, we hope, from places like seattle when the autonomous zone. you have to arrest people when they are throwing batteries and explosives at police. let's hope they get the tools. although reports are conflicting with democrat mayors totally unwill back the police. city councils talk about defunding them. it is not a good situation, jed. jedediah: imagine the reality, not in one of those cities, having something like you have just seen evolving on the screen go on for 59 days, not two days, three days, 59 days and have local politicians do absolutely

nothing about it. only thing they get angry about is getting federal authorities out of their cities. what do they expect people to do? i always justify the location of federal authorities there, just saying, there is federal monuments need to be protected. they have a right to be there. that's true but on the other hand i'm so tired of local politicians getting a pass, saying this is all happening because of president trump, because of federal authorities being here. no, it is not. it is happening because you allowed massive and widespread anarchy in the cities. you have done absolutely nothing about it. as a result, someone had to step in to do the job you were supposed to do. that is what is going on here. anyone looking at images, doesn't matter if you're in the images, that your to in, your family, will be next target that is left to run like wildfire, literally, wildfire through some of these cities. pete: you used the word terror. that is domestic terrorism, when

in organized fashion attacking law enforcement. it has been called as such by authorities. griff: important to point out this comes as we're now four months into the worst pandemic of our lifetimes. all of these cities, all americans trying to get it under control. it comes as coronavirus cases now topping 4.1 million as the nation records more than 1000 deaths for a fifth straight day. rich edson joins us live as republicans are set to unveil a second relief package, possibly tomorrow, rich? reporter: good morning, griff, jed, pete. top administration officials spent some of their weekend own capitol hill negotiating the details what are expected to be the next coronavirus relief package. the treasury secretary steve mnuchin, white house chief of staff mark meadows, were on the hill meeting with senate staff yesterday to develop a republican bill that senate majority leader mitch mcconnell is expected to release tomorrow. the initial 600-dollar boost to unemployment benefits congress approved in march is now beginning to expire.

republicans are looking at a different formula, this time. one ensures a government benefit that insures no more than 70% of a workers previous pay. mnuchin says we're moving quickly. it is an important issue. we want to make sure there is technical correction so people don't get paid more money to stay home than to work. administration is it looking at the same 1200-dollar direct payment to many american families. white house chief of staff mark meadows said, quote, i'm confident if democrats are willing to focus on those unemployed and need assistance. the most they will fine a way to get at least address that need while we continue to perhaps negotiate beyond that. even if the white house and senate republicans agree to a plan, that just amounts to the opening republican offer to congressional democrats. they're looking to keep 600-dollar unemployment benefit. democrats want hundreds of billions of dollars in state and

local aid. johns hopkins university says have been more than 4.1 million confirmed coronavirus cases in the united states with more than 146,000 deaths. that is more than the 16 million confirmed cases nationwide and more than 640,000 deaths around the world. back to you. pete: rich, thank you very much. appreciate it. this weekend marks 100 days until the election. it's coming quick. and rich talked about covid-19. we talked about the riots across this country. of course the economy front and center as they talk about the stimulus and helping individuals get through this moment. well the biden campaign put out a memo yesterday. it is really a messaging document. but it's a strategy memo. campaigns do this all time. they lay out three or four pages where they think they are, what the vulnerabilities about their opponent, what they think their advantages are. this document was no different this is portion what biden's

deputy campaign manager had to say about his path to victory. talked about covid, then race, economy and brass tacks. they have 2,000 staff on board in augusts. tens of thousands of additional volunteers across the country. we'll see where those come from. $14.5 million ad buy in florida, arizona, wisconsin, michigan, north carolina, pennsylvania. 100 days out weekend of action to encourage voters to get involved in virtual events across the country. here is a quote from -- woman's name is kate beddingfield. she is the communications director as well. the conclusion voters continue to draw is straightforward and clear. joe biden cares about you and his family, donald trump only cares about himself, super wealthy and corporations. he doesn't care who he hurts. one portion of the memo, that i think has some truth to it, is that the trump campaign is in some ways failed to defined biden. how do you define a guy in his

basis and empty vessel for what the left wants. this is not how they say it but they see that as an advantage. griff? griff: what is interesting about this, in this memo kate beddingfield says victory will be based on a coalition of the suburbs, seniors, african-americans and young voters but you know, here's the thing. i'm not so sure that strategy is going to work with suburbs, with seniors who are afraid of what you're seeing in portland for two months straight. what you're seeing in other cities like seattle. look, the fear, if you're a senior, you certainly understand that the basis of civilization is law and order enforced with fair justice and you're seeing also the rnc chairwoman ronna mcdaniel pushing back, less than 100 days to the election, the enthusiasm gap points to president trump. here is a little bit what

mcdaniel says. a little wonder joe biden is failing to motivate voters on his own party. raising taxes on2% of americans or eliminating entire sectors of the energy industry along with millions of reliable, good paying jobs is not rallying cry for the campaign. a candidate can't be bothered to field a few questions from friendly reporters can't be trusted to lead our country. interesting response. jed, i would tell you, i would love to ask kate beddingfield pointed questions how they intend to win with suburban voters with seniors, when you have news of unrest every day? jedediah: yeah i think the enthusiasm gap they're worried about is real, is tenable. a lot of people are not excited about joe biden. that is no secret. a lot of time remains. he will pick a vice-presidential candidate to run with him. that will be big. it is very early to look at the polling to really count on it. there is too much happening. look what is happening in the country.

so much changes day-to-day. we have a global pandemic. it is really insane what you see on the news day-to-day. look at the mass protests turning into riots. what is good, this set as good gauge where the country is right now. you will have two very different, distinct visions between joe biden, president trump how to handle what is going on right now, be it pandemic, school openings, riots around cities how to deal with. that we'll see where the country stands based on who people vote for, who they elect. you will know what the pulse of the country is feeling right now. i think that is really important. often times you poll people. they're not honest with you, you won't get accurate view. we'll know results very soon. two very different visions. a choice here or there will be quite telling. griff: one way or another we'll find out in 100 days. turning to the headlines, starting with a fox news alert. hannah downgraded to a tropical storm overnight as it batters texas. hannah made landfall as a

♪. jedediah: progressive congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez and rashida tlaib proposing to defund president trump's opportunity zones, believing the program overly benefits wealthy americans investing in these areas. thousands of these zones were created in the 2017 tax law meant to revitalize poor communities through private investments. here to react, executive director of white house opportunity revitalization council scott turner. welcome to the show. this is really important. these opportunity zones. first and foremost remind us the

significance of these zones, why they were created, and what they aim to accomplish? >> good morning, and thank you so much for having me. the question came up what can be done for the forgotten communities and forgotten people in america and president trump and those in the administration when asking questions, through the tax cuts and jobs act created the initiative. 35 million people in our country live inside of these opportunity zones and opportunity zones are those communities that have higher poverty rate than the state average. that have lower, much lower median income, often times a high crime rate. each governor, territory leader was given a task to designate or nominate the opportunity zones and 25% of these are available. as a result, 8764 opportunity zones across america have been created but the root of it to your question is what can be done to lift up our nation's most vulnerable, distressed

communities and the people inside of these communities, to create, you know, new jobs and new businesses, better housing, retail, you know, to help people fulfill their god-given potential and use their skill set to take care of their families to start businesses? but the root of it is, people in our country living in poverty. so how can we help to lift them up. jedediah: yeah. so what is your reaction to the push to defund them? >> i think that is a big mistake and you know we cannot say as a people, as america, we are concerned about our most vulnerable people in our country if we want to take away this, most important initiative of the opportunity zone legislation. you know i have the privilege of stewarding this council along with dr. ben carson, hud secretary ben carson. i've been around our country. our team has been around our

country. i've been to over 60 cities, 65 cities of our most vulnerable communities, convening stakeholders together, both democrat and republican. the beauty about this initiative it, transcends politics. it transcends ethnicity and creed and socioeconomic background. this is a call to release private capital into areas that have not seen investment in decades. not only that but to create public/private partnerships to bring about all of these stakeholders together. as i said before, create business. you have education leaders, i'm sorry. did you say something? jedediah: no problem. it is a very different, no it is a very different view investing private capital as opposed to relying on government investment. we're out of time for today, scott. we very much appreciate you digging into this. we know the debate will not end here. we'll have you back. thanks so much. >> thank you.

graham allen joins us. i am jealous. stole the title of my third book. it is fantastic. before we get to the book, i do want to unpack your argument a little bit, the cancel culture a lot of people agree it is bad. amongst millenials and younger people seem to be more okay with it. where are we on this. >> ironically i talk about this in the book. i think it is sad we're breeding a new generation that thinks that just because you don't like the way something feels or just because you don't like the way something sounds that you should do everything in your power to cancel that person or that business. i mean god forbid someone has a different opinion than we have in today's society. we need to cancel, cancel culture, pete, because too be blunt. cancel culture kind of sucks. it is okay to agree to disagree. it is okay for people to say something that you may not actually like. and believe it or not, people aren't perfect. it is okay for people to make

mistakes. so maybe what we should actually try to stop trying to cancel people and businesses. maybe we should try a little bit of grace and understanding sometimes. pete: could use a little bit of that these days. where does that mentality come from, where are kids learning that we need to shut it down? >> oh, my goodness, i think, that again, goes with the current climate which we find ourselves. it goes into, honestly if we're being honest, a lack of parenting in the sense, hey, life isn't always going to go your way. people are always going to give you not exactly what you want and people will not always think exactly how you think. pete: absolutely. break down the new book, it is "america 3:16". what can america expect. >> go to america 3:16. i made my entire career saying what everyone else wants to say.

go out try to appease them the other night. they booed them down. literal his own police had to declare a riot. so many on the left think they can appease these folks. they're violent but part of their political base. they're far more destructive people are giving them credit for if you will. police officers like seattle police, richmond yesterday, standing in the breach. we're doing it in portland around the federal facilities. griff: ken, i want to show you mark morgan, acting secretary of cpb, tweet the out a picture. you see metal spikes used by criminals in portland to puncture tires of cpb vehicles. as i understand it right now, ken, as many as three of your officers who may lose their sight permanently because of the lasers. is the threat escalating? can you speak to your concern for where that goes?

>> well, we expanded our presence in portland because the threat escalated going into the july 4th weekend. that intelligence of a higher threat turned out to be correct. and you noted they are close to two straight months of violence every single day in portland, partly because of their own mayor, who is the police commissioner, ties the hands of his own police. so the federal officers are left to defend the court hours and federal buildings without local cooperation which is very ray not to have local cooperation at the law enforcement level. you see some of the results. laser attacks. tire punk you aring. these are violent, violent acts. one sets up the other. they use commercial fireworks, mortars, they shoot them sideways instead of up. they hit three officers. at the same time to they use

lasers to attack their eyes. those lasers can do damage. regularly available lasers unfortunately on the market can do eye damage. they're being used to intentionally do that. that is what our officers are facing. these are not peaceful protesters. these are violent anarchists. that is what we're dealing with. pete: absolutely right, mr. deputy secretary, i have to ask you about your boss. this is getting personal. a group in washington, d.c., posting on facebook a planned protest of the acting secretary chat wolf. they wrote this on facebook. the department of homeland security under the leadership of acting secretary chad wolf was deployed to portland, oregon last week. unidentified federal agents kidnapped protesters with unmarked vans, tear gas row protesters, violently attacked them. we're calling for a march and rally at chad wolf's that trump's troops remove from every city. we're calling for every person detained by cpb to be freed.

your reaction to them saying we'll pitch ourselves outside of a member of the cabinet? >> yes. so this is a good example of how these people are not about free speech. they're about destruction and intimidation. that is what this is. it is nothing more. you know, you can express yourself elsewhere. as a former state attorney general, as i recall, it has been a few years, it is not legal to protest outside a residential house. you can walk by but you can't stop and loiter there, for this very reason. because it is intimidating. it is threatening. that is exactly what they intend. chad wolf isn't going anywhere. he led this effort at the department of homeland security with confidence and competence. you expect that to continue. but, this is a tactic you've seen in richmond, in portland, in seattle and it wasn't

directed at republicans. this is not new or unique here but it is intimidation. it is just below the level without the directed violence, just below the level of terrorism. jedediah: no question, ken. i want to shift over to barbara boxers. there is op-ed in "the washington post." check out the headline, barbara boxer, former senator. dhs was a mistake. i regret voting for it. we have a quote from the op-ed, i never imagined a president woe use unconfirmed puppets like acting secretary chad wolf and his deputy ken cuccinelli to terrorize our own citizens. your response, ted. >> the people terrorized in portland are citizens and business owners down there. we haven't gone beyond our federal authority and laws that she has voted for, she notes, defending the courthouse and

protecting federal facilities. there are people afraid to go to work there now. understandably so. if you, if you step back from that courthouse, walk around, you can see very clearly there are messages parented on the buildings. you can see very clearly they're very violent intent. this is, you know, this is preservation of an area of federal responsibility, in terms of both property and life. so you know, for barbara boxer to suggest that the department of homeland security is somehow responsible for this is foolish. this was going on a more than a month every day before we expanded our presence. griff: ken, explain to me, we have only a little bit of time left. it was 90-9 vote to establish dhs 2002. 18 years later the organization that protects the nation are attacked by those that supported it in time of national unit. why people like senator boxer

coming out blasting it now? >> obviously this is political. let's be real basic. the law enforcement agency called the federal protective service which most people never heard of, most days they have a very quiet existence. they're responsible for protecting these buildings. the cpb and i.c.e. folks we moved there a few weeks ago are there to support the federal protective service. they existed and did that mission before the department of homeland security existed. they were moved into the department of homeland security but take the hatfield courthouse there in portland. they have been protecting that building since it opened in 1997. for barba boxer point to dhs, instead of the mission she along with others charged us with, we are fulfilling legally constitutionally, article i, section 8, paragraphs 1, 9 and 18. are what those laws are

fulfilling. she has voted for that. you can't have a courthouse and not protect it. that is not a realistic option. pete: nope, it is not. ken cuccinelli thank you very much for your time. >> good to be with you all. pete: turning to some extreme weather, overnight hannah downgraded to a tropical storm after battering southern texas. hannah made landfall as a hurricane slamming the state with 90 mile-per-hour winds and heavy rain. hawaii is bracing for impact as hurricane douglas inches closer to the coastline earlier this morning. meteorologist rick reichmuth is tracking it all as he always does. what is the latest rick? rick: hawaii, you will be fine. we had more concerns for hawaii. the storm will go north of it. that is good news for hawaii. hannah was a significant storm. god up to 90 mile-an-hour sustained wind shore, pulled onshore, brought with it, storm surge and flooding. center of storm is across u.s.

and mexico. it will pull off towards the southwest away from the u.s. bringing significant rain across the northeastern part of americas co. here is the radar picture across the country. south getting a lot of rain. even areas towards new orleans, plaquemines's parish, some of the energy moisture pulled in towards hannah. hannah across parts of south texas. to the north of that we're also watching some storms part of what is monsoonal moisture you see popping up in the afternoons across the four corners. you will see that again today. pretty significant weather across the central plains. one thing to watch, guys, heat coming back across the mid-atlantic and northeast. another heat wave starting today. temperatures above 90. griff: will be a hot one. thank you, rick. still ahead, former president joe biden is expected to announce his running mate but will his pick unite or divide democrats? we'll hear from former obama advisor robert wolf, next

as different voice on economic inequality. she is obviously very strong in the recovery. susan rice, obviously with the pandemic, and what i would call very mixed relations with our foreign affairs around the country, former ambassador, head of the national security advisor, would, and we know she getting along well with joe, those three seem to have always been in the top five. by the way for me, i know kamala and susan over a decade as well as elizabeth warren. i would feel incredibly comfortable with any of those three. pete: i'm with holding my comments. if you ask activists in the democratic party who are they clamoring for when it comes to energy? >> it is interesting. i think that james clyburn said it well, we just want to win. i think there is a part of the

an opening when they abandoned that police precinct in minneapolis, the cascading effect was a total disregard for authority, largely out of hatred for a sitting president and the people that support him. these are no longer protests, these are attacks and riots, illegal activity. and it's going, it's getting personal, guys. we're learning overnight that a group in washington, d.c., griff, they're planning a protest outside a member of the cabinet's house? griff: yeah, that's right. they're called shutdown d.c. posting on facebook, rally at chad wolf's house. now they, of course, have a first amendment right to protest, march, but lest they should engage in any sort of threatening a sitting secretary, they will be treated as criminals. we had ken cucinelli, the acting dhs sec taxer on earlier --

secretary on earlier talking about that and the protests we continue to see in portland. >> this is a good example of how these people are not about free speech. they're about destruction and intimidation. that's what this is. it's nothing more. chad wolf isn't going anywhere. he has led this effort at the department of homeland security with confidence and competence, and you can expect that to continue. but this is a tactic you've seen in richmond, in portland, in seattle, and it wasn't directed at republicans. so, you know, this is not new or unique here, but it is intimidation. it is just below the level would want the directed -- without the directed violence, it's just below the level of terrorism. griff: yeah. you know, we talked to i can't think as well about the fact that three officers may lose their sight permanently because of lasers. want to bring in now dean cain, our good friend, actor and reserve officer.

they're inciting these people and pushing violence. and pete said it earlier, they're allowing out to happen. exactly, make no mistake about this, this is about politics. and it's meant to keep, to hurt president trump. kind of like the decision to keep schools closed, all meant to hurt president trump. if you want haw -- law and order restored, vote president trump. jedediah: another topic we're addressing today is we're remembering regis fill -- regis fill bin. -- philbin. so many people loved him. i didn't know him personally, but he warmed my home every time he was on television. tell us about your experiences with him. >> you said it all right there, jed with. i mean, he -- regis, he's a one-namer like johnny carson,

gifford, she posted this on instagram in reaction: i smile knowing somewhere in heaven at this very moment he's making someone laugh. it brings me great comfort knowing that he had a personal relationship with his lord. i send, as you did, love to joy, his children and to the innumerable people he touched over his life, there's never been anyone like him and there never will be. dean, we got to see pictures of you from 1993, i don't know if you can see -- [laughter] you look the exact same. >> bless you for that. pete: it's true. but what -- this strikes me as the kind of guy who, for whatever reason, connected with almost everybody and didn't create enemies and made people smile. what was the secret inagreed cent? >> you know, i think it was just his character. because the guy you saw on screen was the same guy you saw off screen. that hysterically great sense of humor, warm. like, you'd want to have regis

in your house every day. you'd like to have him at your breakfast table, and that's where he was. when he did millionaire, he was hysterical and great and fantastic. is that your final answer? i mean, he really -- it's from regis. he was a superstar and, again, old school class and grace. griff: dean, i'm with pete, let's go back to that video. what assignment were you on that you're wearing a lei looking like elvis presley in hawaii? that's a good gig. >> live with regis and kathy lee, we were pointing -- the first time i was on was in hawaii. do you want to come out to hawaii and do a show? yes. [laughter] i shot the show in buffalo, new york, where i played football at one point in time for about 15 minutes. anytime they'd go somewhere, i'd be happy to travel because they did it just right. and, you know, that one was -- that was certainly hawaii. i can see it on my screen now.

look at that young man. that's awesome.

together. he and i had different fill soft call and mitt cam views, however -- political view, however, i know my cousin martin in his remarks, the same sentiments our whole family had toward congressman lewis. my last conversation with him he asked very much about my mother, can and he said how is your mother, how she doing. and i remember our conversations were more along those lines rather than political and that type of thing. i think it's a great tribute also even though there are several stops and observances, they're not very long, and that is exemplary of who john lewis was. he was pretty much don't put the attention on me, put it on the people. that wases the john lewis that i know, very peaceful and if strong warrior.

cannot do this without god. and john lewis, a peaceful warrior dealing with social justice. -- we must be peaceful. we must hear each other, we must exemplify what is need to communicate peacefully without erupting into violence, and that is something that we have to bridge that gap between the movement of the 20th century and the 21st century. we must learn to be peaceful warriors. john lewis was certainly that. giver give alveda, soon we will see john lewis' american flag-draped coffin cross the edmund pettis bridge. talk to me about the significance of that image we will witness. >> well, i remember my uncle believed this, he believed in

insures a government benefit of no more than 70% of a worker's previous pay. mnuchin said, quote, we are prepared to move quickly. it's an important issue. we want to make sure there's a technical correction so that people don't get paid more money to stay home than to work. the administration is also looking at that same $1200 bonus to families, many american families. white house chief of staff mark meadows says, quote: i'm confident that if the democrats willing to focus on those who are unemployed and need assistance the most, they will find a way to at least address that need while we continue, perhaps, and negotiate beyond that. even if the white house and senate republicans agree to a plan, that just amounts to the opening republican offer. congressional democrats say they want to keep the $600 unemployment benefit and want hundreds of billions of dollars in additional state and local aid. johns hopkins university says there's been more than 4.1 million confirmed coronavirus cases in the united states with

more than 146,000 deaths. that's more than,s that is part of more than 16 million confirmed cases worldwide and 640,000 deaths. back to you. pete: rich, thank you very much. you know, griff, you know in washington there's horse trading that goes on in moments like this especially when there's more or less a consensus that something needs to be done, and you have the looming reality of a presidential election where neither side wants to be looked at as not coming through for people in need at this moment. it seems to be just a matter of how much in either direction and of note, liability protection something republicans are talking about for companies as today try to reopen. griff: you know, you've got a good point there, pete, because the consensus isn't necessarily e the same right now because, remember, nancy pelosi's already passed a $3 trillion package x that's a long ways away from this one that began with about a trillion with mcconnell.

and when you talk about what they're going to get done, ultimately you talked earlier to peter ma royce city, one -- morici, one of the top economists in the country, and here's a little bit of what he had to say about how to come his on this thing, listen. >> i expect. to see the unemployment benefits extended. it would really be nice if they weren't interrupted. they don't have to be at $600 a month. we can scale them back so people aren't being paid more to be unemployed than they were before. this is not a herculean task, and i think it's being demagogued on both sides. nancy i wants to give everyone more than they earn, and the republican playing to their base, some of them, by saying we don't want freeloaders. the reality is aid is needed, it's time to compromise and get it done. griff: the republicans in the senate and the white house not entirely on the same page. great point, pete. meanwhile, nasa's gearing up for a new mission to mars as they prepare to launch the

the window e to launch opening later this week. tell us about this mission. >> that's right. so we are launching a robot to mars. we have e a very unique mission on this one. we're actually looking for astrobiology, can we find signs of ancient life on mars. so a lot of people are familiar with the curiosity rover, it has made some amazing discoveries. mars is covered with complex organic compounds, the building blocks for life. the question is was there ever life there, might there even be microbial life on mars today x that's really what the mars perseverance rover all about. we are setting the foundation for bringing samples back to earth from mars. this rover won't do it, but it's going to catch the samples. we're also going to fly a helicopter on mars for the first time in history, and we're going to prove that we can use the mars atmosphere to create oxygen because president trump has

given us an objective to put an american flag on mars, and to do that we're going to go with humans. and all of these thicks are going to be -- things are going to be kind of proven out in this little rover that we call perseverance. i say little, it's the size of an suv. griff: wow, that's incredible. i've got to get one other story, and that is the pentagon's ufo unit could make findings public. i think for those of us who remember the truth is out there, what are we expecting to learn and see? >> so i'm a navy pilot myself, and i can tell you the united states navy, we fly close to other countries, competitive countries a lot, and this program is really about identifying capabilities, maybe unknown capabilities of other countries. that's what it's about. but you're absolutely right, we as an agency are interested in learning whether or not life either does or could have existed on other worlds. we know, for example, that mars used to be covered in an ocean

for its northern hemisphere. we know that it used to have a thick atmosphere, and we know that it used to have a magnet9 that protected it from the radiation of deep space. so all of these things mars had. in other words, mars was at one time habitable. did life exist there and we now go find out evidence of ancient life on mars. griff: and lastly, your prediction when these findings come out, do we believe that folks who are conspiracy if theorists and others will be satisfied by what they learn? >> oh, i don't think folks will ever be satisfied -- [laughter] as nasa administrator, i can tell you there's always kinds of conspiracies. and i hear from all types of different people. but the reality is i think this is really a collection opportunity for the united states of america. griff: yep. jim bridenstine, we've got to leaf it there. grubbing with the perseverance rover and the mission later this

secretary said on our program. not exactly, but here's what he said exactly about these protests. >> they're close to two straight months of violence every sting single day in -- single day in portland because their own mayor ties the hands of police. the laser attacks, the tire puncturing, these are all violent acts. they use commercial fireworks, mortars, they shoot them sideways instead of up at officers. they've hit at least three officers that way. at the same time, they use those lasers to attack their eyes. that's what our officers are facing. these are not peaceful protesters, these are violent anarchists. pete: it's also very political. we're on the eve of an election, less than 100 days now. these protesters hate donald trump, his supporters, what they represent, and this is also a manifestation of that, guys. griff: yeah, and looks like it's going to continue.

meanwhile, we continue to also follow another big story this morning, a sad one, and that is the loss of tv legendary tv giant regis philbin. we want to bring in brian kilmeade, host of "fox & friends," and he spent a lot of time with regis. brian, good morning to you. >> hey, guys. how's everybody to doing? jed, what's going on? jedediah: we're doing well. i saw you on the curvy couch with regis philbin, a tv legend. that had to be an experience, brian. >> yeah. i mean, a bunch of things with regises in particular. so the first time i came and talked -- i always really liked him. that first 20 minutes of that morning show even before it was nationally syndicated, it was only in the new york region, was awesome. and the more we do this, you know, we have three or four topics, okay? so we're talking about riots, number two we might talk about china, number three, unemployment. okay, fine. we had topics.

there'd be no news to lean on necessarily. he'd are to talk about his dinner the night before, maybe a thing he had coming up over the weekend, a pop he had with one of his kids x he had to do it only seeing his cohosts five minutes before the show. i know we get about 90 seconds -- [laughter] but to see them do it every single day for 20, 30 minutes for people that do what we do, i'm in awe. and the more i do this, the more i'm in awe that he was able to do it because he couldn't grab necessarily the big stories of the day, the breaking news. he had to talk about slice of life. talk about slice of life for 20 minutes and the first time i ever saw him was in college, i went to school right outside new york city, and they said there's one live show taped in new york city. he told our whole class to go in. we wanted to watch the morning show, and he couldn't fit us all in. so i had to come back again on my own, and i was pull out of the audience, and i actually

interacted with him live on the show, came back interviewed him for the radio, and i have a few pictures of me when i was in college, and he gave me steady advice throughout the next 20 plus years. and then when he was finally able to write a book and do a tour, had a chance to meet him. he actually joined fox sports for a little bit. pete: brian, america looking right now at those pictures, i think they're probably looking more at college-age brian, to be honest. [laughter] but regis as well. i didn't realize he had such a big influence on your life. by the way, i would sign up for 20 minutes nonstop of brian kilmeade talking about what he had for dinner last night -- [laughter] sign me up. i think you could do that very well. you have the same at tickets. but you -- attributes. you felt like you knew regis, all these years on the morning show, he just seemed to connect like someone you wanted to know more about. >> well, one thing i know about fox, for better or worse, this

is you. i have news watching at home, this is us. we're not acting. we don't change our voice, our look, to our opinions. and he was the first one and carson as a viewer where you really thought that, okay. the camera goes on, here he is. that's regis. and one thing he brought up in his book, he said my problem was i got out of the military, and i had no discernible talent, but i knew i wanted television x. jack parr, who you can seeded steve allen and who was in between johnny carson and steve allen, gave regis hope because he was also a conversationalist. he couldn't sing, he couldn't dance, he wasn't a magician like carson x. he said, wow, if that guy can do it, that are's what i want to do. and chet kohl writer with, who was the first one to look at my tape and bring me in to fox was the one that hired regis out on the west coast. and he talked about what he did

and how hard he worked. regis outworked people. he wore you out. he did a finance show at the same time he was doing -- a fitness show at the same time he was doing a national television show, at the same time he was doing all types of specials. you're in your 60s, you're already rich beyond belief, what drives you. and it was just that drive to be better and born in the bronx he always thought he was going to lose everything tomorrow because he grew up in the depression, and he watched his parents lose everything. he used to say you're going to end up in the poorhouse if you don't keep working. that was the track that was in his mind his whole life. jedediah: brian, we have a 2013 flashback of you and rhee chris on the red carpet. -- regis. >> confident. [laughter] >> sorry. now, there's a chance you're going to be shooting in our building, and that means we're going to get in the line together, get a big salad, see each other in the hall.

how do i act? >> when that begins, you should call me mr. regis. yeah. >> will you answer? >> only to mr. rhee chris. say good bye, mr. regis. >> good-bye, mr. regis. >> that's it. [laughter] >> classic regis. >> right. the other thing he did, he worked out all the time. when i work at the reebok club, we actually did a workout interview to together. i did it shirtless so, pete, you must be jealous. [laughter] pete: really? >> i'm only kidding. we actually had it taped, i don't know if it made the library. but that was also sitting there ad libbing looking at cnbc talking about stocks he owns, different philosophies, i thought to myself, man, he cared about that segment on a channel he probably doesn't even watch with a guy he didn't even know.

that's part of bringing it every day. every appearance mattered, and that's what i i learned just from being around the guy. griff: and what our viewers learned is what you look like in college. we should show e our viewerser that one more time. you have, we should point out, quite some style in your sweaters. did you put a lot of thought into those sweat ors? [laughter] >> you know what? pete, i did notice, he always talks about how griff is jealous of how you dress? i'm getting it now. that was mole skin. that was one of these sweaters that actually she woulded like a german shepard during the day. i had to wear two t-shirts and another collared shirt just to wear that sweater -- [laughter] and i was wrong, and i'm looking at the picture right there, and i was wrong to think i looked good in it. sadly, because i like regis in my office, that picture's still

this today, and the guy i share that picture with is rick thatcher, all american goalie ifer cause. just could not get enough of being around television and he was my inspiration because i can't sing and dance either. [laughter] griff: the one and only brian kilmeade, and i will admit, i will confess, i have sweater envy, for sure. brian, that was great, thank you very much. pete: thank you, brian. go back to bed. it's your day off. there we go. griff: see? and just like that, he is gone. turning now to your headlines starting with this fox news alert, hannah downgraded to a tropical storm overnight as it batters texas. off it goes, indeed. hannah making landfall as a hurricane, slamming the state with 90 mile-per-hour winds and heavy rain, massive winds in

death of the civil rights icon. he was, he was strong, he was a leader in a time of turmoil in this country, and your heart goes out to them and to his family, and my thoughts and prayers are with them. as far as the polls are concerned as we get into things political revolve ising around the upcoming election, let's be clear. once again we see a poll that vastly oversamples democrats. 33% of gop respondents were sampled in exit polling in 2016. this particular poll, 26%. that's a 7% difference. so, obviously, things are going to swing vastly to the left in the answers. i can point out the fact though, it e kind of made me chuckle, even with the oversampling of democrats, only about 14% said they were really enthusiastic about joe biden. who can blame them? all he talks about is some child loving to rub his leg hair and not knowing what year year 9/11

happened, all the missteps and mistake of arizona being called a city. i understand why they want the keep him in the basement and why so many people aren't enthusiastic. you compare and contrast that with how much excitement we have on our side, vast numbers of republicans registering to vote and so many of the king, key swing states. hundreds of thousands of people on the democrat rolls in the states where they actually allow registration by party, it's been a vast decrease in the those battleground states and a vast increase for us. people want this president to be in office another four years, and you' i that in so many areas across -- you see that in so many areas across the country not to mention the economy is on it way back. but also the uplifting, unifying, patriotic message moving forward, trying to get our city streets back under control, protect the safety and security of everyday americans just trying to make ends meet and working out there in jobs created by policies of this prime minister. elections are about choices --

by this president. there is no choice, it's all president trump. pete: ohio began, to that -- hogan, to that or persuadable voter, in this home stretch what's the bumper sticker, one or two-line sell to them to reelect president trump? >> well, a vote for president trump is a vote for you. a vote for president trump is a vote for future success for every single american regardless of race, color, creed e and religion. you don't have to guess what would happen if joe biden were president. we saw it for eight years. we saw the economy crumbling, depressed wage, all of the jobs leaving. compare and contrast that with this president expect successes we saw for all americans, job creation, record high stock market. that's what this president's going to do. joe biden's going the take us backwards, president trump is going to take us into the future.

look at what world experts are saying like the american academy of pediatricians, the hospital in toronto, experts in the u.k., children are not at risking of either contracting or spreading covid-19. they need to get back to school. there's great risk for them staying at home. it disrupts the family structure, it disrupt learning, and it hurts the poorest children most of all news bay don't have -- most of all because they don't have the resources for them while they work. jedediah: obviously, there's always still risk of contracting it, and some of the kids have developed some inflammatory condition so that, of course, is lingering in the back of some parents' minds. but i want do you, you're a former professor, what are your thoughts on how this could potentially be implemented in a

pool? is there social distancing? would kids be able to wear a mask for hours on end during the day? some parents have concerns if they send their kids to school, are they really going to get good, in-person learning with so many guidelines the teachers will have to implement in the classroom setting? >> again, i go back to what i said earlier, there's plenty of experts out there worldwide saying that children are not more likely to contract the decide or to spread it. and, of course, there'll always be children that have pre-existing conditions. they would have to take more precautions. but this whole idea that you are have to just totally rearrange a school, requiring maul children to wear a masking, it's not supported by the science. everything we're doing with covid-19, coronavirus, politics underlies everything x. whether we like it or not, there are people that don't care about the children, they care about the election, and they see an opportunity to hurt president

trump by keeping everything hut down. and so -- shut down. and so whatever's taking place in congress not about our nation's health, it's not about the children first, it's about political agendas. unfortunately, that's the way it is in america today. pete: carol, you've experienced personally and written a week about -- a book about politics in education. senator tom cotton introduced a bill that'll withhold funding for schools that taught this 1619 project. i'm kind of two minds, what alternatives do parents have, you know, virtually or in person to avoid things like teaching their kids 1619 is the real founding of america in. >> i know exactly what you're talking about, public schools, private school, even christian schools are being ruined. so there's home schooling, there are charter schools, there are private schools that are opening

up with in-person learning, and they're taking various precautions that they see necessary. but there are alternatives and the parents can how many school, they should especially in those lawyers where they are trying to keep children out of school. they have become indoctrination factories. they teach white kids to hate themselves, they teach black kids to hate whites, they teach them to hate america. that's not going to move us forward. we are destroying our country and intock try nateing our -- indoctrinating our -- [inaudible conversations] griff: just to be clear, that's an opinion of many parents, but we've got the leave it there for now. thank you for coming on and a lot of parents -- >> thank you. griff: -- concerned about what their kids are being taught as well as the dangers of covid. meanwhile, coming up, major flooding expected in texas today

the u.s. right now, pretty significant rain obviously still because of hannah, till some showers across parts of the central gulf. and then we've been watching a lot of monsoonal moisture across parts of colorado the next couple days and to the north side of that, some really heavy rain. i would like on sunday to show you the preis sippation we're folk fob -- precipitation we're watching this week. here you go, could cause some flooding and the other stories guys, is the heat returning across much of the mid-truck and towards the northeast, another heat wave in store, temps above 90 for the next three days. guys? pete: love it. jedediah: thanks, rick, we appreciate it. we're going to brung in texas congressman louie gohmert live with an update as major flooding is expected today in texas. welcome to the show, as always. can you give us the heatest on the clean-up effort -- latest on the clean-up effort with respect to hannah and what's going on

right now in. >> the tough part is that it comes on top of covid, and south texas has been hit pretty hard. you know, a lot of people have come across the border and brought covid in. that's an area that's really, was already hit hard. but it you'll recall whether it's harvey or other hurricanes, texas does pretty well in dealing with emergencies. governor greg abbott has been completely on top of it, as you know. the hurricane was downgraded since it hit land are, but it's till brought a lot of rain, and that's been the biggest problem. the winds have been downgraded but the rain keeps coming. it's headed toward northern mexico, but, you know, we've got the emergency personnel there ready and helping. griff: congressman, let me ask you, obviously, being here in washington and covering congress, we'll all be watching to see whether or not mitch mcconnell unveils finally the covid-19 plan. looks like the white house and republicans in the senate are getting closer to agreement. what are your thoughts as you

see it on the house side? >> well, we're concerned about the giveaway programs to help the democratic party. we've seen some of those in the prior covid legislation and, of course, both republican senators and republican house members are are concerned about the efforts of democrats to stifle the economy by leaving open the door to litigation just overwhelming employers and businesses that open. so that's been a top priority. and the question is how much giveaway programs that don't necessarily help the covid victims the house democrats and schumer are going to demand in order to get the immunity from liability. pete: congressman, i've got to get your take on one more thing.

you've never been accused of not being a fighter. we're in this moment where statues are being torn down, cancel culture everywhere, and i actually had this video sent to me by a couple people. you took to the house floor and introduced a resolution that would ban the democrat party. explain. >> well, everybody knows -- or they should if they don't -- that slavery has been pushed and protected by the democratic party. that's where it come from, that's where the defenses come from, and it wasn't just in the 1800s after the civil war. they're the ones that have been protecting it, they're the ones that pushed jim crow laws, they're the ones that did not support the 14th and 15th amendment at all, no support from the democratic party. and even the 1924 democratic national convention was called the klan bake because of the i ku klux klan's influence. they were an extension of the

democratic party. so we're going to hold the democrats to the same standards that they want to hold everybody else to and get rid of anybody vestiges of slavery, it means getting rid of the democratic party. so we're just trying to hold them to the same standards they want to hold everybody else to. griff: somehow i suspect that the speaker, nancy pelosi, disagrees with this. i'm not sure that's going to see the light of day. [laughter] just finally devastated just

so they can get back in power. that is horrendous. the republican are never felt that way and -- have never felt that way and still do not. pete: representative louie gohmert, thanks for joining us. >> great to be with you. pete: seven people are shot including two kids at a house party near sacramento. the homeowner said he wasn't there because he wented out the house to a man -- he wented out the house to a man online. >> the guy said they're going to get together to relax before his friend goes to the military. never expect it here. you look over this there's cornfields and over here this is really a ranch country kind of lifestyle. pete: two people remain in critical condition. no arrests have yet been made. and the man caught on camera

putting an nypd officer in a head lock is, you guessed it, out on bail. he is charged with assault for the first -- for the july 1st attack. he turned himself in a week later. he was freed on just a $15,000 bail. the officer needed stitches for a cut on his head. and former california senator barbara boxer says she regrets voting to create the department of homeland security. the democrat writing a washington post op-ed criticizing the department's presence in portland saying she never thought it would, quote, be used against our own people. and she's one of the most famous fictional characters of all time. >> tiffany's? you mean the jewelry store? >> that's right. i'm crazy about tiffany's. pete: but holly go lightly, did i protowns that correct -- proannounce that correctly?

misusing the visa process, and you had at least one individual concealing her ties to the chinese military, and that's what you're seeing increasingly in this country, ties to the chinese military, abusing our visa program. that's why i have in front of me a list of indictments from various universities. don't forget charles leiber, the head of the biology and chemistry division of harvard, he was indicted because he was part of, and others, are part of the thousand talents program which is a program that the chinese set up to try to reward talented people, but they have also abused that program by spying. there's a massive espionage campaign going on in this country by the chinese communist government. the u.s. is aware of it, and they are now cracking down on anybody who is abusing our student visa a programs, our work visa programs as well as

getting through in terms of espionage through university withs because you have a whole number of people who are getting paid by universities. you saw that at harvard, in arkansas, at the cleveland clinic, and they're also getting paid by the ccp. the u.s. is on to it, they are cracking down in a significant way, and that's what you seeing increasingly. the coronavirus basically hope opened the door for the if u.s. to start scrutinizing china ooh's and its communist party's behavior x that includes everything from espionage to buying influence, acquiring companies, stealing their technology. you know for three years the trump administration tried to get china to stop. it was no deal, they would not even admit the stealing intellectual property. here's where we are today. pete: yeah. the diplomatic gloves appear to be off. we'll see what the next move is. and and you've got chad wolf on your show, there's a protest planned outside his house. i'm sure you'll can him about that as well. maria, thank you so much --
