today. the moving moment this morning when procession carried body of edmund pettus bridge. alicia acuña live in montgomery with more, alicia. >> it was quite the moment here at alabama state capitol, office that was once occupied by segregationist george wallace and today congressman john lewis' casket was greeted by dignitaries. he will lie in state for a number of hours, public welcomed to pay respects as long as they wear masks. the casket arrived here at traveling as you mentioned from

selma and that was striking sight. the two-man horse-drawn carriage, moment of reflection for all as the civil rights icon over the alabama river. the caisson was joined by lewis' son and greeted by alabama state troopers and military honor guard to escort to montgomery. the route at once cut short by the violent attack by state troopers but also became embedded in history as as a turning point for equal right to vote. >> to be here today to see his last, his body have his last march across the edmund pettus bridge, i was so sad and what has made me happy is just to think about his life and legacy, all of the things that he has done to make this world a better

place for all of us to live. >> she said it was never about him. he was standing up for others and quite proud of multiple arrests over the years in name of equal treatment and when he was a young man he asked his parents about what the whites only signs on stores and restaurants, they told him don't make trouble, instead he made good trouble. necessary trouble. >> not only mark history but reinvigorate the idea that we need to continue the fight. >> arthel and eric, this whole day has been filled with such significance and i have to tell you when the casket was being taken by the caisson by the bridge and passing all of those people in the streets, there were people shouting at the casket at congressman john

lewis' body, we will take it from here. back to you. arthel: so touching, alicia acuña in montgomery, alabama, thank you. eric. eric: arthel, the day of deep meaningful symbolism for more on the life of congressman john lewis, let's turn to cummings, maryland democratic party and widow of notably congressman and civil rights champion, of course, maryland elijah cummings who passed away in october of last year. condolences for mr. lewis and your husband, thank you for being here today. >> thank you for inviting me on, eric, pleasure to be with you. eric: of course, your reflections, what do you most recall fondly about congressman lewis? >> so john lewis, i got to serve with him, i got to capitol hill, house ways and means committee and he was a member in house

ways means committee and what i remember fondly are two things when he went to when he will of house of representatives and he would speak with his voice, it was literally booming, commanded attention and you had to pay attention to what he was saying because his voice demanded it. and the second thing is that every year, everyone keeps saying that, you know, this is his final trip over the edmond pettus bridge, people need to understand that every year he led marchs over that bridge with the face politics institute on capitol hill and they would take a delegation of members of congress and lob lobbyists and members of the administration, anybody who wanted to go to experience the trip over edmund pettus bridge and narrated by congressman lewis, patient and kind man and he will be sorely missed. eric: amazing experience for him to do that every year with

congressional colleagues. go down to the bridge now and it's a small bridge with light traffic, some generally kind of empty but you really feel it. i mean, you see it and you feel it in your bones when you're there. >> absolutely. i mean, there's just -- it's just poynant to know that certainly 55 years ago that we had protestors, protestors who were interested in fighting for civil rights, who were interested in fighting for human rights who we wanted to make democracy in america a more perfect union, standing up for their lives and certainly for the future of our democracy and they were confronted by policemen who were not interested in them actually exercising their first amendment rights, in fact, who were interested in continuing to oppress them and keep them excluded and outside of society and in many ways we see the parallel to today. what we know is that they were

protesting edmond pettus bridge that day because there was somebody who was brutally murdered by the -- his name was jimmy lee jackson, african-american man by the state troopers there in alabama, and so now we see the parallel to today, to george floyd, black lives matter. how far have we become and will we show the nation and the world that we are willing to move forward and walk together hand in hand into a future that's diverse and inclusive and that embraces liberty and justice for all. eric: we have come a long way but certainly not long enough as you just pointed out. your husband very involved with mr. lewis, as you know, and you have pointed out yourself sometimes they were both mistaken for each other. the media, you know, the media made mistakes, they are both together and you recently wrote

a wonderful piece in the baltimore sun, quote, born in different years to different mothers, different states, john and elijah carried psychological and physical scars from their experiences with american racism that led them to become legislators, destined to change the landscape of american history. now they are both dancing with the angels but they have left a charge that we must keep, remarkable similarities between the both. both sons of croppers, your husband integrate in skimming pool and got cracked over the skull and attacked and tell me about their bond and tell me about what drew them together and tell me about the movement and the struggles still ahead. >> so, absolutely, they had many common experiences coming from the jim crow south and experiencing the hatred of racism but both of these men went onto become legislators who were destined to change the course of history.

their band was one that was not only a common interest in making sure that we saw the civil rights movement carried forward into 21st century and we continue today fight for things like the voting right act and include -- inclusion for all and in connection that they looked so similarly, i can't tell you how many times that i was in the airport with elijah, walking on the streets with elijah and people would come up, pleasure to meet such a civil rights leader, he would say who do you think you do you think you're talking, john lewis, i would be in the back felijah was not feeling up to correcting them they left thinking they met john lewis. that happened a lot to elijah especially early in his career, but, you know, john lewis

reported that it would happen to him and we saw senators rubio and sullivan actually fell into the trap as well or maybe their staffers did, i don't know who was minding their twitter account, i just wanted to let them know that certainly we saw that mistake happen so many times through media, you know, certainly on the streets, and it's not unusual that the, you know, certainly that it happened. that being said, you know, we've got a lot of work to do in this country and we certainly want rubio and sullivan to basically make sure that they are standing up for voting rights act and honoring elijah and john's legacy. eric: john lewis voting rights act now before congress, voting rights act to be renamed for him. it continues, thank you, thank you for your husband's work and thank you for coming on the fox news channel. of course, not just, your

thoughts on mr. lewis but your late husband as well. arthel: that was enjoyable. now to this, chaos in several u.s. cities. in seattle police declared a riot saturday after peaceful protest turned into a violent confrontation, some broke off from the crowds to throw rocks and explosives at officers, 21 policemen hurt, at least 45 people arrested, dan springer live in seattle with more, dan. >> arthel, seattle police took hands off approach but all changed when somebody targeted precinct behind me, quickly declared a riot.

arsonists and black lives matter torched trailers and vandalized many businesses in the area, breaking windows and spray-painting graffiti, when police responded they got the upper hand, making 45 arrests and using the cod control tools like pepper spray, had been taken away by the city council but late friday night a federal judge in seattle blocked that law from going into effect. a police officer told me this morning that having those tools probably saved the east precinct and as you mentioned 11 -- 21 officers injured yesterday. >> live in seattle, dan, what's happening today as we stand there now? anything new at this moment? >> well, it's been pretty quiet so far today. there are more protests planned

but in texas yesterday in austin, there was one person who was killed and police have made one arrest and happened during a protest that was downtown. witnesses say a car sped through the crowd honing his horn and the motorist hit something and stopped, approached the car and that's when he was shot by the driver according to police. they are treating it as a homicide. now but a dozen cities had protests yesterday that were shows of solidarity with the groups that are protesting and rioting every night, hot mob, youth liberation front and refused fascism called for the nationwide support and many thousands mostly young people answered that call. as i said for today so far in seattle it's been very quiet, protests have been planned for later on today but so far we haven't heard any problems, arthel. arthel: these are not the black lives matter protestors, correct?

reporter: well, look, they joined in with the black lives matter crowd and they are in the large group that start the protest and then they do peel off and sometimes form their own group right from the beginning but what we saw yesterday was probably a couple of thousand people in downtown seattle including the people that ultimately caused all the problems and, yeah, they are part of the black lives matter protest and they eventually kind of peel off and do their own thing and the people who are there just for black lives matter protest and kind of staying away. arthel: right, black lives matter protestors say these guys come in for the very reason, break off and start the chaos to confuse. reporter: that's right, that's what's happening. arthel: thank you very much. eric. eric: arthel, we have been told that 3 federal officer who is were involved in portland may be permanently blinded because protestors in portland shined

lasers into their eyes, that's some of the impact of the protests meanwhile overnight in virginia's capitol richmond, another violent protest this happened as the richmond times dispatch says 200 antipolice demonstrators marched in solidarity, they were doing that in solidarity with the portland protestors. when they got to police headquarters in richmond, some in the crowd tried to remove the police and started setting off fireworks and climbed on top of police riot vehicles. they set a dump truck on fire. look at that. the crowd refused officers' commands to leave and police set teargas and flash bang grenades. rioters damaged several store fronts downtown at at one point reporter for richmond times dispatch says police surrounded her and another journalist and threw them against the wall even though they told the officers that they were members of the media covering this, the

officers told them to go home but were told the journalists stayed to do their job and report on the events on the street. arthel. arthel: all right, we will turn to weather right now. serious flooding in parts of south texas happening after hurricane hanna made landfall yesterday just south of corpus christi, areas along the gulf coast can expect tremendous amounts of rain throughout this evening, meteorologist adam klotz tracking and now i understand that hurricane hanna is now a tropical storm, right, adam? adam: it's been downgraded to tropical storm but if you're in the area we are seeing heavy rain, not big difference to you. it's even well into méxico. let's dive into where the storm sits right now. you free the landfall to currently eye of the storm well into méxico but still the heaviest rain is on the eastern

side of this system and with that we continue to see flood watches stretching across much of south texas particularly everything in red highlighted box. mcallen, all areas and continue to see heavy rain. likely into the evening hours and begin to -- beginning to clr by early tomorrow morning falling apart but bringing moisture across méxico. otherwise, we continue to track hurricane douglas, the real center of circulation is sitting north of the big island, still category 1 hurricane with 90-miles-per-hour winds. still category 1 storm. would it make landfall, there's no guaranty there. you see the cone of uncertainty runs north of islands and could make landfall now and some time early monday morning. the story with this it's going to have to be wind, as you look

at forecast and precipitation all the heavy rain, 6 to 8-inches well north of islands. that won't be a concern but as i get ready to toss this back to you, arthel, i want to show you that we have active tropics right now. there's already a couple more storms firing across coast of africa that we will be paying attention to in the week ahead. we are really getting going in this 2020 hurricane season. arthel: you told us this weeks ago that this would be active season and here it comes. stay safe throughout the entire season. okay, adam klotz, thank you. eric. eric: yeah that is for sure. well, meanwhile in washington, unemployment benefits for millions of us set to unexpire this week. republicans on capitol hill will unveil next coronavirus relief plan doing that tomorrow as the virus sadly continues to spread in some hot spots states like florida. we will have the latest on the virus and the bill coming up.

rapidly finds cases and rapidly stops them and prevents the kind of explosive spread that we have in the u.s. kristin: california's positivity rate which state officials say is key indicater of community spread is trending upward in the 14-day average and so are hospitalizations statewide, la county the hardest hit county for the virus in the state with more than 172,000 cases reported since the start of the virus and sad news here, a los angeles firefighter paramedic died yesterday from covid-19 and they los angeles police officer died from it on friday and ten firefighters and 11 life guards also tested positive for the virus in nearby newport beach, arthel. arthel: that's very sad news, christina, where do we stand, turn around times for results are decreasing but still taking too long, what do you have on

that? christina: it's still a problem right now if you're getting tested and you may go on as you're perfectly fine and healthy and infect someone else while you wait on results. here are the trump administration coordinator on cnn this morning. >> what is true now that anybody who can gets a test gets a test. i am highly confident that turnaround will decrease this week. christina: despite the fight in cases in covid-19 and some of the testing issues as you heard him say there, you know, the four-day wait in some cases, there is some good news out of arizona, hospitalizations for covid-19 went down significantly in the past 2 weeks and the number of people being cared for in icu in arizona has dropped significantly as well. arthel. arthel: well, we will take the good news, christina coleman in los angeles, thank you. eric. eric: that we will, arthel.

well, meanwhile the flag-draped casket carrying the late congressman john lewis arrived in alabama's capitol in montgomery just a short time ago. straight ahead we will have more on the homecoming and the remarkable life and legacy of john lewis. >> he always talked about continuing fight for more perfect union and we are more perfect union because of john lewis.

>> you know, john was very clear that we have to restore the voting rights act and i'm so glad that colleagues in the house have introduced the john lewis voting rights restoration act and we need to get it passed. we had bipartisan consensus in the senate that we we needed to protect and time to stand up and finally restore the voting rights act by passing the john lewis bill. arthel: do you think that they would be -- there would be bipartisan support for that especially, you know, now that mr. lewis, congressman lewis' life and dedication is on full display in the next few days for everyone to see? >> i would hope so. i know it's easy for partisans to take a short-term view.

you know, does it benefit our party in the short-term but when you serve in the u.s. senate, when you serve in u.s. congress you're called to do what's right in the long-term and in this democracy, the world's oldest democracy, it is really incumbent on each of us to ensure that voting rights are protected, so i would hope, it was 2007 the last time that there was bipartisan consensus, it wasn't that long ago and one would hope that john lewis' passing would remind people to really reach for their better, higher calling and not to drag down and trying to make voting rights a partisan issue. arthel: how poynant is mr. lewis' life, life work to the current day fight for racial equality? >> well, you know, if you want to look for a link between the protests that are going on today and protests in 1960's, you

don't have to look any further than -- than chairman, he spoke very passionately about the need to end police brutality. he was very clear about the need for those who were sworn to protect and respect all of us to do just that and the course was representing the student protestors of his day and he was very clear that the young people, young people who were peacefully in the streets now really represented the current day extension of the work that they were doing back then. he was very proud of them, he was very disconcerted by those who were to turn nonviolent protests into manager else and he was very clear that there was unfinished work and as young people, nonviolent young people are trying to finally see the

day when we can count on those who have sworn to protect and respect us to do just that. arthel: we do promote the nonviolent way. we do not condone the violent protests. i know you join me in that mr. ben jealous, right? >> absolutely. look, my entire life, just like john lewis, i've gone to nonviolent protest. john lewis went to jail 40 times and each time it was the officers who beat him up. arthel: ben jealous, thank you very much for joining us, we will see you again, sir, thank you. >> all right, thank you. arthel: eric. eric: arthel, mark meadows just arrived at capitol hill a few moments ago he and republican senates are trying to work on hashing out gop proposal for the next covid-19 relief package. treasury secretary steven mnuchin told fox news sunday this morning he says there's,

would get working and get a job. >> the only thing they accomplished was a tax cut for the wealthiest people in america. they are resenting $600 for single moms to be able to put food on the table. >> in may house democrats passed proposal, 3 trillion-dollar cost costing 3 times the respected republican bill. democrats say they've been waiting on the republican offer for months, the administration says the republican version includes another round of 1,200-dollar payments to many americans. the treasury secretary also suggested that congress would break the bills up and pass them as they are needed. on thursday, the government reported that 1.4 million filed for first-time jobless benefits, increase over the previous week, first time that's happened in about 4 months. back to you. >> all right, rich edison, thank you very much. well, joe biden's campaign ruling out a strategy for the final stretch 100 days until

communist party. eric: that's secretary of state mike pompeo, of course, speaking this past week at richard nixon presidential library in california addressing the challenge in china. you know, back in february of 1972 when president richard nixg visit to country, engaged leaders to be part of the world and international community, but today china is described as a dangerous rival. with us christopher cox, president richard nixon's grandson who is the son of ed cox. good to see you. >> great to be on with you, eric. eric: what do you think your grand father would say about the china that we see, spying on universities and labs, research and business and expand reach around the globe? >> well, certainly the relationship with china has

changed much over the past 50 years. when my grandfather first historic opening to china that was a key step in ending the cold war and critical step towards debating the soviet union. i think today the situation has changed a lot. china presents one of the great lakes in the united states and i think that my grandfather would recognize that we have a more complex relationship with china, what does that mean? in areas where the united states and china have mutual interest and we can work and happily work together and in other areas we may have disagreements and there we have to work closely with each other and, of course, be in constant communication and work to solve those problems but i think the bedrock of the relationship must be one of reciprocity and i think that my grandfather would agree with that and i think the trump administration has hit that exactly right which is what

china does to us, they should expect that we will do and turn to them and that's why we need things like a fair relationship in terms of our economic relationship and certainly also treatment of diplomats. we needy mr. mats to be treated the same in china as we treat diplomats here and vice versa. i think that's what the secretary was laying out in his speech and when you see the actions that were taken recently regarding the houston consulate as well as with certain members to have chinese diplomatic community in san francisco, i think that was a key signal from the united states that we must have reciprocity in the relationship between china and the united states. eric: one thing the secretary of state talked about in his speech is the 50 years or so of policy and the administration is taking a tougher attack, here is what he said. >> the truth is that our policies and those of other free nations resurrected china's

failing economy only to see beijing bite the international hands that were feeding it. china send propaganda in press conferences, schools and colleges and even to pta meetings. eric: now the administration, the trump administration has been tougher, the president's language has been tougher, do you think they are getting it now in beijing? >> you know, i think that they are starting to get it. i think certainly when the president was elected there's a feeling that maybe he was a businessman, he might be more malleable and i think that's the farthest from the truth. i think that now beijing realizes that they have a tough competitor in the oval office and someone who won't let china get away with anything and i think that was made loud and clear with the way the president reset economic relationship and how he's resetting the diplomatic relationship and how he's taking a tough line in terms of negotiating things such as ip rights, intellectual rights and things like that.

the president has taken a very tough line and i think that this is something ultimately that the american people will respect and quite frankly i think the chinese will respect it as well. eric: finally, 20 second, do you think this will change beijing's behavior somewhat? >> i think we are seeing changes over historic economic deal that the president signed with beijing, phase 1 agreement, i think that you're seeing changes in beijing and it'll be for the better for the american taxpayer s. eric: christopher cox, president nixon's grandson, christopher, good to see you, thank you so much. >> good to see you. eric: and we will be right back. safe drivers save 40%!!! that's safe drivers save 40%. it is, that's safe drivers save 40%.

morning in a definitive deployment of the federal forces. >> what we see in portland is a city, certain hours of the night completely out of control, we see city leadership has fostered an environment that allows these criminals to do this throughout the night untouched, absolutely untouched, it is time for portland to join other responsible cities around the country working with federal law enforcement to address the violence. eric: were told those protesters attacked the federal courthouse in some blinded the federal agents with lasers and fears that they can be permanently blinded, hi dan. >> derek like pop mob and the youth liberation front put out the call late last week for people around the country to protest in their cities to join them in solidarity with their effort against the president of

federal law enforcement in portland and thousands of people across the country did just that with the result a lot of violence with the rest in one death, in seattle arsonist for five construction trailers at the jobsite were new youth is being built, the protesters must've missed the news that the county executive plans to end all youth incarceration in five years. seattle police kept the protesters on the move making 45 arrest and hitting them repeatedly with pepper spray, flash bangs and pepper balls, 21 police officers did suffer injuries from fireworks and other projectiles thrown at them but the most part the city controlled the situation, just the opposite happened in portland where the global police have almost completely checked out, thousands protested at the federal courthouse and again, only federal officers responding to the violence, some people breached the fence that surrounds the court building, federal agents fired tear gas and other emissions, seen plano

every night with leaders of dhs saint has to stop. >> the mayor of portland trying to out in appease them, they booed him down, his own police had to declare right, so many of the politicians on the left think that they can appease these folks, even though they are violent. >> the protests in austin, texas turned deadly, details are sketchy but the protesters armed with a shotgun approach to vehicle and he was shot and killed and that's been handled as a homicide, richmond virginia saul writing protesters send a dump truck on fire, police did in fact deploy teargas as we saw police all over the country deploying teargas, more protest today in seattle but so far they have been uneventful. eric: dan, live in seattle. arthel: meanwhile the triple administration continues to defend the decision to deploy more federal agents into u.s.

cities to backup police and cracking down on gun violence and out-of-control protest, this is local officials accused the administration of playing politics with law enforcement. >> if you have a press conference where you say the cities have failed, where you really follow politics, then you get responses with people in our communities and i've heard it loud and clear from kansas city and have great concern with the nature of the operation. arthel: david's funds live near the president's golf club in bridgewater new jersey. >> hi arthur, good afternoon the president on his way to the airport to head to washington, when he gets to the white house he has a lot on his plate, no question specifically with the unrest and also the covid relief package to help millions of americans but let's start with the unrest that you saw indians report specifically, authorities in seattle declaring a riot last

night, this is something that dan focused on, the president continues to pitch himself to the american people as the president of law and order, the white house increasingly focused on nearby portland, oregon where unrest has gone on for approaching 60 nights, as you mentioned the president expanding operation legend named after 4-year-old legend, a little boy shot in his home and killed why sleeping, authorities still looking for his killer, operation legend sends federal agents to unrest hotspots around the country to protect federal property on the initial list, chicago, albuquerque and kansas city but were told that will expand to other large cities in the country if need be, the chief of staff mark meadows and steven mnuchin switching gears and are on capitol hill working with the deal with republicans, $600 weekly and employment checks are no longer going out

to those ancient americans laying off during the covid crisis, he is promising some sort of action tomorrow. >> we are going to be prepared on monday to provide unemployment insurance extension that would be 70% of the wages you were prior to being unemployed that it would reimburse you to up to 70% of the wages, hopefully as a way to get people back on their feet. >> republicans and democrats have to come together, congress is set to go on the august recess at the end of this week and is not just all of august, is the first week or two of september so no question the clock is ticking and making a very loud sound. arthel: thank you. eric: are thought, coronavirus is now infecting more than 16 million people across the globe, that is the 1 million jump up from 15 million people just four days ago, here in our

country offers 4.2 million people tested positive in some spots in the positivity rate increasing, the death toll stands at more than 146,000, there are those continuing concerns down south and out west over the spread of the virus, christina coleman is live in los angeles with the latest on the fight. >> the fight continues, states reported a total of 1037 coronavirus deaths yesterday making it the fifth day in a row of more than 1000 covid fatalities in the u.s., according to the tracking project, the three states would be the highest caseloads in the sunbelt, the virus ravaged parts of new york back in march but florida has surpassed new york in total cases with more than 423,000 infections. as of now florida is second in the nation of total cases to california and florida is still behind california and way behind new york in the number of

covid-19 fatalities, florida reporting 5854 deaths since the start of the pandemic in new york has reported within 25100 deaths. >> the virus clearly has the upper hand in the u.s., what were learning around the world, it does not go away unless you're an island able to keep it out entirely, the best case scenario is a community that rapidly finds cases and rapidly stops them and prevents the explosive spread that we have in the u.s. >> delays and covid testing results is still a big concern as federal officials try to accurately track all the hotspots, do contact tracing indeterminate resources to fight the virus, here is the trump administration testing core nader on cnn today. >> we are never going to be happy with testing until we get turnaround time within 24 hours and i would be happy with

testing everywhere, we are not there yet, were doing everything we can do to do that. >> i will never be happy until we have this under control and we will continue to push every single day to improve the testing, the two week turnaround, i told you the data, four-point to seven days for half of those tests that are done in the commercial labs, i am highly confident that turnaround will decrease this week. >> also warning officials from 11 major multi-policy areas, las vegas, st. louis and baltimore to take aggressive steps to mitigate their outbreaks in an effort to prevent the cities from becoming the next hot spot for the virus. eric: thank you. arthel: tropical storm haner drenching south texas, the store making landfall last night dumping heavy rain from brownsville to corpus christi, alex hogan is here and following all from new york. >> we are following the two storms as they continue to

weaken, we've seen a lot of damage in texas alone flooded streets about 270,000 power outages as of today as people went out to assess the damage. >> there is a camper overturned. >> the roof worried me, so 100% strapped down yet, we came down here to hang out and make sure everything is taken care of. >> in texas that winds whipping often taking off a massive fence, hurricane haner dow downgraded to a tropical storm this morning but damaging both in property, parts of texas seeing 9 inches of rain, the national hurricane center reminding that 6 inches of fast-moving water can carry away an adult, dangerous last flooding over southeast texas in northeast mexico will continue, the other state bracing for impact, hawaii at the eye of

hurricane douglas zeros in, hurricane warnings in effect in hawaii who inquired and it still slowing, douglas should remain hurricane through the weekend, residents are told to put together emergency kits, water, food and masks and hand sanitizer as a state attempts to curve the client he knew coronavirus cases that it sees. if this hurricane does touchdown, it would be the third in modern history to touchdown in hawaii, throughout the season we have seen several storms already but many of them diminishing, slowing down by the time they reach land, last month we saw crystal in june, and the two months a lot of storms, not as much damage but it is a big hurricane season so far. arthel: let's hope this one does not touchdown in hawaii into the ocean as well. thank you so much. eric: it was a moving tribute for a civil rights icon, the

late congressman john lewis crossed the admin bridge one final time. we will have that next. plus the violent clashes between police and protesters are continuing after president trump announced a surge of federal law enforcement in big cities, cops and federal agents have been injured, we will have the very latest next. de for what's next no matter what challenges life throws at you, we're always here to help with fast response and great service and it doesn't stop there we're also here to help look ahead that's why we're helping members catch up by spreading any missed usaa insurance payments over the next twelve months so you can keep more cash in your pockets for when it matters most and that's just one of the many ways we're here to help the military community find out more at usaa.com

>> to look at it from any standpoint, the effort to shut down policing in their own community has led to a shocking explosion of shooting, killing and murders and heinous crimes of violence, this bloodshed must and in a will and. eric: that was president trump announcing a surge of federal law enforcement some u.s. cities. the protests have turned violent, some mayors and governors are pushing back on those deployments because they say the presence of those federal agents makes matters worse, the presidents move in their view is an attempt to reframe the election, the president and his supporters say the violent protest to evolve into mayhem in a near key and the rule of law must be

defended. eric: john bussey is an editor and fox news contributor who joins us now, there are peaceful protesters of course but then have a hard-core group of america haters, knuckleheads, wackos who are hijacking this, attacking the courthouse, throwing bottles and bricks at police officers and blinding federal agents with lasers in there have been some shootings in austin in aurora, how can this wind and? >> i think you have to put into context, we are 100 days from an election, it is in that context that the president is using this language to describe american flames and most american americt if they go out the front door will find out that is not the case, there are certain cities

were protests continue, some of the cities have been re-inflamed by the presidents of federal troops the president has sent in, his feeling that they need to be there to protect federal property, mayors and state governors say no, you're making it worse by sending them in and re-inflaming the protest which has been dying down, there are select cities where there's a problem but the notion of mayhem across the united states is not true, the issue for the president is that the polls are going against him across the broad strapped of the electorate but also critically in battleground states where his opponent, biden has pulled ahead and showcases showed significantly. the issue is over management of the coronavirus crisis, that's what's on the mind of the electorate, he's getting bad marks, very high disapproval ratings, very high disapproval ratings for management of the

race relations and inequality issues that initially sparked the protest. that is what the electorate had in mind and when you got a situation like that, politician tends to like to change the topic. and that's what you're seeing here is a president. eric: in all fairness, that's exactly what you have in the limited areas and some of those cities, look what's happening in portland, the municipal government cannot provide the first responsible the government of civil government which is safety and therefore that is why the president supporters say the federal course is needed and certainly you have two issues, unbelievable carnage in chicago per merely hitting the minority community, crime and murders that are through the roof, the mayor welcoming federal help there to do with the crime problem as well as under u.s. attorney and had a telephone

call with the president on that but on another level the mayor say they do not want the federal forces in their cities. >> yes, those crime statistics in many of the cities are up, how much of that is due to unemployment as a result of the coronavirus case and the fact that people are at home because of the coronavirus spread in the continuing rise in cases, how much of that is due to that and how much is a new surge, over the many years, you see the violence and crime rate in the cities drop, we're dealing with a high-end employment situation and this is the issue, the mayors are saying we will get this under control, we have the state national guard if we needed, we don't want federal troops coming in, it is unusual to use the department of homeland security forces and law-enforcement officers in this case, the former governor of

pennsylvania he was a first-aid secretary republican appointed by republican president, this is not the use of the long first officers, calling them the personal militia of the president and the mayors are saying this is unusual to have the intrusion of the forces that will inflame the situation, that is the debate it if the mayors can sustain security in their cities and feel that they are able to do so and are not inviting the federal troops in, i think that is a collision point between what president trump wants and what the state authorities want. >> you'll see that play out over the next several weeks, at the end of the day what does this mean politically for the president, jerry has a piece of this with the wall street journal online, it probably means that people will entrench on both sides of the issue and they decided in the mines how they feel about it, it's

probably not going to work for the president and the question is whether it inflames personal security in the cities and makes it worse or does it make it better? eric: finally, we see the scenes on the screen, how will this end? some of these hard-core people in the street can chainsaw, power salt to the federal courthouse slamming down the fence and protects the federal courthouse in portland. >> and some of the cities it is quite ugly, this is for law enforcement specialist answer that question for you, but we have to ask ourselves how much is the fear mongering language help in the inflaming language help, this is episodic but in several cities in the country, it is not pervasive but it is persistent, this did not happen in the last administration and in the republican administration

before the last administration, this persistence, my suspicion, when you dial down the language in dial down the inflammatory part of it, the local law enforcement officials get a hold of the situation in the protesters, some had already been dying down in the last several weeks, dying down from the spring when we sought across many countries. betty got re-inflamed, when you step back in the language, and you step back on the intrusion, that's when things began to calm down. eric: many would say there is no excuse at all for some of the violent, i will not even call the protesters, violent rioters, violent anarchist. >> at some point you will always find people who want to come to a bar fight and this is a little bit more serious than a bar fight but you can we find people

who are violent in their intent and will use whatever opportunity or excuse to vent their own violence. but i think of the united states of america, those are minority of people. eric: yes, very much so it is shameful. john, good to see you. arthel: congressman john lewis at the state alabama s-uppercase-letter services continue for the civil rights icon, his cousin joins us to reflect on his life, his faith and his legacy to social justice. >> what i'm worried about if you're not expecting the shock and the markets fall dramatically, you might panic. you might sell and rent in cash at the very moment you should not. i know they'll be fine.

i'm worried about you. i'm worried about how you will personally respond to this crisis. and even if you don't panic, you may...

arthel: we continue honoring and remembering congressman and civil rights leader and icon john lewis, moments ago his casket arrived at the alabama state capital building in

montgomery where he now lies in state, earlier this morning lewis was carried across the admin bridge in selma where he led the bloodiest sunday voting right march 55 years ago, live in montgomery alabama right now with more. >> members of the public are welcome to come here and pay their respects to congressman john lewis in the rotunda of the alabama capital. he was greeted by folks who lied the historic dexter avenue, the last leg of the route from selma to montgomery, this is the dexter avenue baptist church where doctor the enter martin luther king jr. served as a pastor and a beautiful journey, the two men horse drawn carriage carried down to one man who were untrained had his trip across the bridge. in the middle upon, a moment of reflection for all as a civil rights icon lay over the alabama

river. it was then joined by his son and siblings to walk the last steps as was greeted by alabama state troopers and the military honor guard to escort lewis' body to montgomery. this is the same route lewis and nonviolent marchers attempted to take in their pursuit of the equal right to vote but were teargas and beaten by alabama state troopers, his goal was cracked. fox smith was there on the march date in 1955. >> i was beaten, whipped, kicked, laid on the ground, never thought of fighting back. >> we have come a long way, we have a long ways to go. >> lewis returned to the bridge year after year to reflect on goals accomplished in the struggle that remains, he considered the election of president barack obama to be a down payment on the dream of

doctor king but there's so much work to be done. >> he had the heart on the line in the heart on the land at the same type he made this world better for me, my children and my grand mates and i owe him a debt that can never be paid. >> i have to tell you, i really give a shadow to the montgomery police department, without them, you cannot see them but they're surrounded me and they're here for john lewis' services, they are helping pull off the live shot in the middle of a storm saw coming through. i have to put that out there, wonderful people. arthel: middle of a storm but the sun is shining. for sure legacy in memory of john lewis. one of the photos that you showed in your package was a picture of john lewis in the mills, president obama on his right and president bush on his left walking hand-in-hand, that is america, i love it.

thank you. eric: quite powerful. as a nation remembers an honors john lewis, we are learning more about his activism and by his religion, guided it by his everyday life, even in the early days. here's a look back at that. >> the phrase was everything for him, early on he did want to be a preacher and he embraced christianity for a belief of suffering, that would shape his work as a civil rights leader and accomplishments, he writes in his memoir at a very early stage of the movement i accepted the teaching of jesus, the way of love and nonviolence, steward of forgiveness and reconciliation, the idea of hate is too heavy of a burden to bear. he earned a degree in religion and philosophy and graduated from american baptist seminary in nashville. when he was still a teen, he heard martin luther king jr.

speak and from that moment, he knew that god was calling him to the civil rights movement, the nonviolent disobedience, he learned to turn the other cheek when he was set upon and beaten and helped organize sittings and marches and the youngest speaker at the 1963 march on washington where doctor king gave his i have a dream speech and lewis spoke just before king and he said in part. >> by our demands, our determination and our numbers, we shall segregate ourselves to evolve in pieces and put them together in the image of god and democracy. >> lewis had his nonviolent beliefs really tested on bloodiest sunday during the voting rights upon the edmund pettis bridge in selma. law enforcement attacks the marchers, the violent scene shook the nation and a day later

president johnson signed the voting rights act, this is the john lewis that is being remembered today. >> a man of peace who truly believed in the ministry of nonviolence with a heart of forgiveness. >> john lewis understood that you can change civil laws but those civil laws do not change hearts. that can only happen with people embrace god's law for people to love one another. eric: so well said. thank you. arthel: nice job lauren, our next guest knew john lewis very well, here to talk about his life and legacy, his cousin singer says sondra lewis. i know this is a bittersweet day for you as you are missing your

cousin but yet you are so proud of everything that he has done for this country, how are you feeling? >> most definitely, hello arthel neville thank you for the invitation. it is an honor to talk about the trouble that my cousin congressman john lewis got into, the boy from troy, the sharecropper son who started out preaching to chickens and leading the fight for freedom and equality for that fields of alabama all the way to the white house, he was a beautiful soul and a dynamic inspiration too so many people in the arena of diversity, he got on the inside of change and start up some things and he became the conscience of congress. arthel: indeed, how did you feel coming of the military honor guard is courting his flag draped casket over the bridge, where they tried so desperately to stop him on that day.

>> you can't help but feel a sense of pride especially knowing what bloodiest sunday was all about in the sacrifice of john put forward for us to have the opportunity to vote and to see him take that last ride over the bridge, it was just very powerful, it just brought chills to my body to think of everything that he has done in everything that he went through to get us to this point. arthel: in my family my cousins are like my brothers and sisters, i am guessing you are pretty close, you all knew him as robert, tell me about him as your cousin, what you remember that we don't know is your experience of a relative. >> first i'll tell you where i fall in the family tree, my dad's dad and john's dad were

brothers, that may john and my dad first cousins which made me his second cousin, the first time that i met him was that our family reunion at my grandma's house in ashburn georgia, i saw him right up in the family started saying there's john, i'm accused john and they're like that's john your cousin, the freedom writer and as he got out of the car i was in all because we started to gather around and he would tell us a story of four historical events that have taken place in his life from the march on washington to selma to doctor king being assassinated and also the voting rights being signed in 1965, it was a lot to take in but just in all of an iconic civil rights leader. arthel: how old were you. >> i was probably about ten or 11 when i first met him, the first time i met him and he was

here in orlando. so he was here at church and i met him in church and we had a wonderful time in service. arthel: that is great, another thing in my family, second cousin, third cousin, fourth, we were all cousins and all tight. i love it. i know you're singer as well, tell me a little bit about that. >> i am, i'm a singer and it's really beautiful to know that john loved music so much, he supported arts in education in a huge way and i was on nbc the voice and i did get messages from family st. john was supporting me on the voice, just to know someone so inspiring in your family is looking at you makes you want to fight the good fight and get into good trouble as well.

arthel: now that you say that i totally remember you from the voice but i do not put the two together until now. we are in a joyous moment because we are celebrating your cousin. >> we are celebrating his life. arthel: are har hearts and thous and things got to you and your family. thank you so much. >> thank you so much. arthel: thank you so much, take care blessings to you. we're at the movies and we need to silence our phone. who knows where that button is? i don't have silent. everyone does -- right up here. it happens to all of us. we buy a new home, and we turn into our parents. what i do is help new homeowners overcome this. what is that, an adjustable spanner? good choice, steve. okay, don't forget you're not assisting him. you hired him. if you have nowhere to sit, you have too many. who else reads books about submarines? my dad. yeah. oh, those are -- progressive can't protect you

arthel: that is florida governor ron desantis on reopening schools, the fight to send students back to class is now playing out in court, this after the state's largest teachers union filed a lawsuit against governor and his education commissioner to block an emergency order requiring schools to open for in person classes next month. they say it is unsafe due to the surge of covid-19 cases, let's bring in our panel right now, the fox news legal analyst and robber is a defense attorney and former prosecutor, mercedes, i'm going to start with you and bob i want to to answer the same question after mercedes finishes. >> which side has a stronger argument and what are the holes in the each of the arguments. >> great question, always wonderful to be on with you, the importance of this case cannot be understated, were talking about 2.7 million children in the florida school system alone

and 140,000 employees that are impacted by this. frankly, really when you look at the facts in a 32 page complaint, there's a lot of facts that are alleged in this complaint. number one, the 445,000, that is about a 27% infection rate. if you look at the cdc, the cdc says before any of the minutes of polities consider opening schools this could be infection rate of 5% or lower, in florida it's 27%. when you just take the body of individuals that would be in the brick-and-mortar outcome, let's say this decision goes forward in the courts do not intervene, were talking about 2.8 million people that may be impacted with 27% infection rate, that's a potential 300,000 individuals in the population alone, not to mention what happens from the infection rates that goes beyond the four corners of the school.

the real issue is, whether it's unconstitutional by this decision and frankly the allegations that are raised in the complaint, especially the fact that there's a 27% infection rate and tells the court that this is a public hazard if this were to continue. the opposite view of course is that there are experts that are going to come forward and obviously the municipality and those that are being sued will bring forth the experts to say it's hard for children to not to have in school lessons and there's a real psychological impact and in the balance of this the schools are really going to lean in favor of the plaintiff. eric: i think the biggest issue for the state and the governor and the commissioner of schools is going to be what protocols can they show to the court and

there's going to be protection, the courts are not just going to want to use children as a witness test as to whether or not this is going to work and possibly infect kids, parents home, grandparents were babysitting and teachers in custodial staff and front office staff, they are not going to want to have that because what are you doing, you're creating more lawsuits, if you allow students to go back with no social distancing, would know hand sanitizer station, with no temperature checks, with no masks, you're asking for more lawsuits down the road and more individual school districts et cetera. the governor did walk back a little bit of this directive on wednesday when you said it would be up to each individual school district whether or not to enforce the going back to school brick-and-mortar or allowing distance-learning or combination of the two, i think the teachers union has a strong foothold right now, however, if individual school districts in the state come up with a program before the august when he for deadline showing that they can show protection for the kids,

these teachers will be forced to make a tough decision if this political game play where they don't want to go back to work and want to be paid in full to stay home or is it legitimate, now we have our protection in place, i ask a question, what happens in january or february, hopefully when there is a vaccine, are teachers going to sign up for the vaccine or say we don't know the side effects, we cannot go back to school, i think everybody agrees school needs to happen for students socially, emotionally, educationally, i think the teachers union has a good foot now but it will continue to be the sake if it takes a proper precaution. arthel: regardless of the vaccine, you cannot really say that because a lot of people want to find out if a vaccine is safe and no side effects before. >> i think the problem you will run into you will still have lawyers for each site arguing now we have vaccines and medication, there cannot be a continuous delay of schools.

arthel: i hear you, we want the kids in schools but we also want people safe, this is a conundrum is no doubt about that. i have time for a quick answer read sadie's, if a teacher, a worker, parent or parent of a student gets covid-19 from the classroom or school grounds, who is held accountable legally and financially. >> great question, they get it in school, worker's comp. will probably stepan, the big issue is whether the school of the site of word took place. we know the infection can come from many sources, certainly if you're in school at a brick-and-mortar setting and set of hours that you will have a presumption that you got in school, teachers will be through worker's comp. if it's a student, the students can soothe the school. >> i have to leave it there because i am out of time, i am sorry i gave bob unto mercedes to question anyone. i'm not showing favoritism.

[laughter] >> love you ourselves. >> love you are unt mercedes. eric: that means that you owe bob another question the next time. the u.s., our country dealing with two hurricanes in the tropics are so active this year end more storms on the horizon, adam is here and he will tell us. now anyone can own companies in the s&p 500, even if their shares cost more. at $5 a slice, you could own ten companies for $50 instead of paying thousands. all commission free online. schwab stock slices: an easy way to start investing or to give the gift of stock ownership. schwab. own your tomorrow.
