class act, steve. steve: i'm not going to interrupt your rudeness. how crazy was that. ainsley: if you didn' watch the hearings yesterday with bill barr we have all the coverage this morning. that's what it was like. he was trying to talk and the democrats continued to interrupt. sparks flying on capitol hill yesterday. democrats sparring with bill barr during that heated house hearing. steve: that's right. the attorney general was calm, cool and collected even though he was interrupted by democrats at least 29 times. he did raise his voice when he was trying to answer but, nonetheless, he didn't hold anything back. brian: no lunch break. only got one bathroom break. he actually got rejected on that and if it wasn't for jim jordan he wouldn't have had no defenders. griff general kings is in washington. the attorney general was ready to fire back. did a lot of listening though. griff: i'm reclaiming my time. that was perhaps the most spoken phrase of the day. that was unbelievable yesterday. it was cob ten shut. confrontational. we haven't seen one of those for a long time. it wasn'it was very clear from e

get-go no interest in his answers. russia probe to involvement in the stone and flynn's cases civil unrest in cities like portland without letting him respond. >> used pepper spray and trumps on american cities. you did her t. here in washington. did you it in lafayette square. you expanded to portland and now you are projecting fear and violence nationwide in pursuit of obvious political objectives. shame on you, mr. barr. >> can i just say. >> can i just say my time has expired. griff: it got so bad at one point ranking member jim jordan demanded fairness for the witness only to be ruled irrelevant by the chairman. but when he had the chance. barr pushed back on an array of line of attacks. >> federal courts are under attack. since when is it okay to try to burn down a federal court? supposedly punishing the president's enemies and helping his friends.

what enemies have i indicted? who -- could you point to one indictment that has been under the department that you feel is unmerited? that you feel violates the rule of law? griff: perhaps the lowest pointed, brian, you referenced this. it really epitomized the partisan rancher with this moment. >> could we take a five minute break, mr. chairman? >> no. >> that's a common courtesy, mr. chairman of every witness. i waited 45 -- an hour for you this morning. i haven't had lunch. i would like to take a five minute break. >> mr. attorney general, we are almost finished. >> you are a real class act. real class act. griff: as far as news being made not much to report. in case you weren't aware there is an election less than 100 days and that was clear yesterday on full display for about five hours. brian, ainsley, steve? brian: all right, griff, thanks. we talked about the riots -- not riots, protesters. how dare he try to talk about

lafayette square. worst thing in america. roger stone we have got to put those 70-year-olds behind bars for life and went after trump's enemies. his answers were wholesome and to the point. i knew it was going to be contentious. did i not know they were prepared for a.g. barr's answers. they were so insecure about being able to answer his questions in the defense of their question, they did. steve: brian. brian: they did this thing that happens all the time. intruchingt the person before they can finish. steve: here is the thing about it and that is a.g. barr is a brilliant speaker. if they ask him one question, he could eat up all five minutes. ainsley, over to you. ainsley: they interrupted him continuously. i think the best line that he said was this is a hearing. aren't i supposed to be heard? because every time they would ask him a question he would start and they would say no, no, no. and he would talk and they would say i need my time back. he even said we have to defend the federal courthouses what if

the courthouse down the street the beautiful courthouse right at the bottom of the hill what if they started breaking windows and firing industrial grade fireworks in to start a fire he? said what if they did that? is it okay? since when is it okay to burn a federal courthouse? they continued to interrupt him. if you didn't watch, almost five hours of the hearing yesterday. it was delayed an hour because jerry nadler got in a car accident. thankfully he was not hurt. if you didn't watch almost five hours of this. we have the highlights of the democrats intruchting him. steve: highlights? ainsley: the low lights. steve: better. >> two minutes, sir. >> if they rode. >> yeah. this is a hearing. i thought i was the one that was supposed to be heard. i gave instructions. >> reclaiming my time reclaiming my time. >> i'm answering your question. >> have you got to let him answer. >> reclaiming my time. >> w we we were not taking down public health orders. >> the gentleman's time sex period. >> drawing attention to the fact. >> will you restore my time because this witness is speaking. >> you went over time.

let the witness respond. >> from barr, i'm starting to lose my temper. >> i am aware. >> excuse me, mr. barr, this is my time. and i control it. >> i will get to that. >> does it have to be. >> mr. barr, i will get to that reclaiming my time. you answered the question. i have another question for you. on june 19th. >> actually, i need to answer that question. >> mr. attorney general, did you answer the question. >> you said under penalty of perjury. i'm going to answer the damn question. steve: he did his best. he was calm, cool and collected. he did raise his voice a couple of times when they simply would not let him answer. think about this. you know, the democrats are in a pickle. because they are all up because it's the house. they are all up for re-election in november. the russia investigation went nowhere. the impeachment was a bust. this time, this comes just in time for these exchanges to wind up in their tv ads. every one of those democrats can now run an ad where they show i

stood up to that boogie man from the administration, that terrible bill barr. it was awful. the "new york post" said jerry nadler was in two car crashes yesterday. the first delayed the hearing by about an hour and the second how he humiliate himself with his long-winded unhinged attacks on the attorney general. but ben shapiro says that's what they were after. >> the fact that barr, who is a public servant who has been around since the reagan administration was treated this way is a good reminder that when president trump says they are not coming after me. they are coming after you, his supporters is right about that. barr is generic r he is not donald trump. is he a normal run of the mill very intelligent republican conservative. they went after him as though he were donald trump. which means they will come against anybody who opposes the radical left agenda. steve: from the beginning very clear what bill barr did very effectively, he knew going in they were going to try to portray him the top law

enforcement officer for the united states as donald trump's hinch man. and at every turn he was absolutely clear he had a great legal answer for everything but they were not interested in listening. brian: right. he is not a filibuster type. he is a guy who answers your questions and leaves you back on your heels type. they cut him off. they couldn't handle corey lewandowski definitely can't handle attorney general bill barr. we knew barr was going to be a big deal and the president was going to speak around 5:00 or 6:00. we dckets know joe biden was going to take questions and he did. he laid out a policy all of a sudden he realizes wouldn't it be great if we made something here like steel, like pharmaceutical drugs? he wants to build things in america again. i won determine if he has to pay donald trump for his prompter copy because he read it. and then he did this thing called taking questions. did i mention hard questions? the reason why i didn't because they weren't. listen. >> have these meetings in dover

the last -- or delaware the last three weeks. i'm just curious why delaware to be here making these announcements? >> mr. vice president, i want to talk a little bit about your vp pick. are you still targeting early august? >> are there specific states right now that you think should halt their reopenings and roll things back. >> the president in his tweets and his campaign in the television ads they are running. is warning if you are president we would see similar things throughout the country. i won determine how you would respond to that? why should they be perhaps voting for you and not just against the president your view as achievable if you are elected and work in as president. >> should there be sports? should major league baseball go on? >> well it, seems to me. brian: exactly. they are such tough questions. i know trump was sitting in the white house going my goodness i hope they don't ask me about why i'm not in delaware because he had a great answer why he was in delaware it's near my house.

unbelievable what happens. i don't know at some point if it's going to pick up. after 8 years i think barack obama got a tough question once every six. in the big picture joe biden came out and laid out why he should be president of the united states. he feels as though it's his to lose. he also pledged he is going to win the senate. something else to bring up. no one is talking about this and we will. over 100 law enforcement organizations have decided to sit out the dnc while you sit there and wrestle are they riots or protests. the policemen and women have made up their minds. there is one political organization standing up for law enforcement and they are the ones making enemy of the people and it's not the republicans. ainsley: that's because they gave them a list what you can or can't do if you are going to cover or protect us at the convention and law enforcement officers said no. that doesn't coincide with when what our training says to do so we are out. we are not taking this contract.

so, joe biden was asked, of course about who his vp pick would be. we have a lot to discuss here. first, let's play a soundbite of joe biden answering those questions they are talking about that. >> i'm going to try to figure out how to trick you all so i can meet with him in person. you have crews outside my house. i don't think it matters, actually. what i said was that i will -- i'm going to have a choice in the first week in august. and i promise -- i will let you know when i do. ainsley: what's interesting about it is politico, they published this and quickly deleted this report on august 1st. it was titled august 1st, which obviously hasn't happened that's next week. saying kamala harris is his running made it. is common for media outlets to see this and they took it down and then they posted one that doesn't have her as the running mate. then they said it was a technical error and they regret

the mistakes stake. it's not uncommon to have so they have it on the ready when you look at his notes, one of the a.p. reporters took a snapshot of the notes that he was holding during his press conference and right at the top like you said was kamala harris. her name with a bunch of attributes about her. what were they, steve? steve: well, it had five talking points about kamala harris. and it said do not -- and you can see she is right at the top. and you have got to figure the reason she was right at the top, maybe politico thought okay, he is pushing her but then again she was also in the news yesterday because on this program talking about how when she was interviewed by chris dodd who is running search committee she says i have no remorse essentially about throwing joe biden under the bus. kamala harris' name the talking points do not hold grudges. that she campaigned with me and

jill. talented. great help to campaign, and great respect for her. what's interesting is there were a couple other points regarding the department of justice reform said reminded people that it's the people's lawyer. obviously talking about a.g. barr. not the president's lawyer. has to have the highest qualifications and decision should be made on law and facts. and then also, the last point was on the last 100 days, offering the clearest contrast. tell the truth, take responsibility. listen to scientists. restore soul, rebuild mc, the middle class, and unite the country. what people have is they have notes just like we have notes. and presuming that the reporters are going to ask him one of those questions he will look down and talk about that. he did at one point talk a little bit about what bill barr talked about a lot yesterday. and that was the violence. and joe biden did call for the arrest of violent protesters. he said they should be arrested. found, arrested, and tried.

so, at least, you know, he does not want donald trump to be able to say, look, i'm the only person for law and order in the united states running for president. joe biden said if somebody does something violent at the protest. they should be arrested. brian: yeah. the key is he says normal every day policemen can do it. really the one dispirited and defunded and told you can't use crowd control methods? if you stand up to those liberal mayors and say you are wrong or if you stand with the president of the united states. he is try to be to go in between and the coming know the difference. meanwhile jillian mele you are upstairs and ready to update us on what else is happening. jillian: good morning. 21 states in a federal red zone for coronavirus outbreaks. each one reporting new 100 new cases per 100,000 new people. missouri, minute society and wisconsin new states to be add added. the battle is brewing on capitol hill as lawmakers debate a

it fox news contributor former u.s. assistant attorney for the southern district of new york andy mccarthy. they talked about riots, lafayette square, roger stone going on trump's enemies. what was your take away? >> well, it wasn't intended to be a hearing, obviously. it was, you know, five minute installments of berating the attorney general of the united states for the purpose of cutting campaign commercials. it's tragic for america, brian, because, you know, he you have the attorney general of the united states there. he is an important witness. this is a tumultuous time. nobody gets everybody right, so, you know, justice department is about making tough calls there are a lot of things you could ask the attorney general. he is very good at civil discourse and give and take. this could have been very edifying about congress' concerns about the attorney general. the things that he has to weigh. and we have even seen on fox in recent weeks that bret baier had the attorney general on. bill hemmer i thought had him on

not so long ago. there are ways that you can in a very civil way ask the attorney general tough questions and get very enlightening answers. that's not what this was about yesterday. brian: it wasn't. what is your take away that you think people should be talking about if they care about substance? >> well, i thought the comments that he made about the durham investigation were interesting. he, again, said that he is not going it w. any kind of extravagant or esoteric theory in order to try to concoct something that can wrote people in on a questionable case. he wants a meat and potato's crime if there is one beyond a reasonable doubt. he said it's not about politics people won't be charged. at the same time, he would not commit to not turning over a report before the election. so i continue to think we will probably get some kind of a narrative report and he made some very interesting comments about unmasking. it looks like not only is there a separate unmasking

investigation and just for our listeners, unmasking is about revealing the names of americans coming up in intelligence reporting because they have been incidentally intercepted. there is a separate investigation of obama administration unmasking of americans, including but i think not limited necessarily to public health officials. the indications are that that investigation is more extense than we may have thought. brian: interesting. well, that's 2016. the guy that was 2016 is joe biden he is running for president in 2020. we have got to found out what he knew and what the president knew. and hopefully we will get those answers because that will play into what voters want to do. >> that's right. and, you know, it's 2016 but it's also the incumbent administration using the awesome intelligence and law enforcement apparatus of government against political opposition.

the propensity for speaking to black people in ways that he would never speak to other ethnic groups. and here he goes again. is he saying that black women have never had a chance to succeed. never mind the fact that michelle obama and oprah winfrey are among us multiple rich homes that they own. we are talking about regular every day americans. median income under president trump is 67,000 plus a year. that's the median. half of the people are above that and those people include some of those people include the 48 million black americans. joe biden opposes a lot of things that help women not above that median get there he opposes school choice. in fact joe biden oversaw nafta. he brought us that job killing, job destroying deal that was favorable to everybody but americans. and he is stealing the president's idea of america first. he has now said he also wants americans to buy american. he has had his chance, ainsley.

47 years of fixing things for americans and he has done nothing. that specifically speaks to the needs of black women. ainsley: i am hearing that from critics they say talk, talk, talk. you are right. 47 years of experience and compare that to the record in 2019. april of 2019, up employment rate among women fell to 3.4%. that is the lowest, stacey, since 1953. when it comes to african-american women, if you look at last august numbers, this is pre-pandemic, 5.4% for african-americans. what do you make of that? >> this is a case of who has done it better. so joe biden 47 years. he oversaw lackluster economic improvement during the obama administration. in fact, it was really called the non-recovery recovery. remember those years. those slogans? so he has even admitted numerous times in public that he felt americans were suffering during the obama administration where he was in part in charge.

so, america needs someone who knows how to navigate the economy, how to get government out of the way of working americans. how to put our trade deals at the forefront with american interest first and know him that's always going to be president trump if joe biden is a comparison. ainsley: stacey, we are both women. what is your message for women watch hog haven't made up their mind yet on who they are going to vote for? >> i'm a big one on researching information. and so it's not about personalities, ainsley. it's about who is going to get the job done. most women are, you know, we're list-makers. we are goal setters. we track things. we make adjustments as needed. that's the kind of president that we currently have. i would say to women out there, don't look at the personality, look at the results. joe biden doesn't have any. president trump has a ton. and they are documented everywhere. you can go and research those actual accomplishments, compare them to your own personal life experience. is your tax lower.

accusations made against him. >> the gentleman's rudeness is not recognized. >> rudeness is on the other side. time after time you refused to let the attorney general of the united states answer the questions posed to him. steve: your rudeness is not recognized. unbelievable. bring in the guy screen right jim jordan republican from ohio. house judiciary committee ranking member. jim, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. steve: can you please explain to me, ainsley, and brian. why the democrats thought they would look terrific if they would ask bill barr a question and then four seconds later cut him off? >> there is no explanation as i said in the hearing yesterday, you have been trying to get the attorney general here. let the guy talk. but they wouldn't let us complete our video. they wouldn't let him answer questions. steve: they pulled the plug on the video. >> it wasn't all the way through. we had more to show. they wouldn't let him answer the questions. and there was a point where they weren't going to let him take a restroom break that's how rude

they were to the attorney general of the united states of america because they have been out to get this guy, as i said in my opening statement, ever since he used the word spying and called it what it was they have been so much out to get him they filed allergies of impeachment against him three weeks ago. brian: people on channels peaceful protests are upset that you took them out of context. if people didn't see the video. if you guys were busy during the day yesterday. you opened up to say these are not peaceful protests. i will show you the difference. you talked about the done family and we saw them talk about the death of the dad in that family, the husband in that family. at the same time we saw everything burning. what's your answer to those on other channels that said you took them out of context? >> well, how can you take them out of context? they are standing out of the camera saying it's a peaceful protest. steve: a fire. >> fire burning. maybe it's a peaceful fire.

ridiculous for them to say that that's why we showed it. they keep saying peaceful protest. as the attorney general said why won't they condemn the mob. why won't the mainstream press. why won't democrats condemn the mob? why won't they speak out against this crazy defund the police policy that's causing the harm of three officers went blind -- were blinded this past weekend because of the mob in portland. so, that's what we're concerned about. the attorney general is doing a great job as attorney general. is he doing a great job trying to protect federal property and enforce federal law. why won't the democrats help? why won't they speak out against it and talk about how crazy it is to defund the police? ainsley: so nancy pelosi, she had this to say. listen. he was like a blob. he was just a henchman for the president of the united states instead of the attorney general of the united states of america. ainsley: she is saying is he a henchman and he said yesterday,

barr said yesterday that the president expects me to exercise my independent judgment to make calls the way -- to make calls i think are right. and that's exactly what i have done. he said that he insists that he acts independent of the president. nancy pelosi is saying is he a henchman and a blob. there is a double standard there what if someone called a woman a blob? what's your response? >> no. it's terrible. but this is the same individual who said that the president of the united states is an imposture back during impeachment. the guy who is 63 million americans voted for she called an imposture. i don't take what she says about people in the administration very seriously. bill barr as i said earlier is doing a good job. he is committed to the rule of law. he said something else, yesterday, that's so important. he said he is tired of the double standard. the one set of rules for the political elite. if your name is comey, clapper, brennan, you get one set of rules and us regular folks get another set. that's why durham is doing an investigation to find out what happened. i thought that was another great

line so consistent with administering the rule of law and having equal justice under the law. steve: let's switch gears just a moment big tech although not twitter going up on capitol hill today to talk a little bit about how some in congress feel they are censoring points of viewpoint donal donald trump jrs twitter was suspended 12 hours yesterday after he shared a video about hydroxychloroquine. here is he talking about this. >> if they are censoring my account they are censoring others. when i posted that video i didn't say this is the gospel. you i said wow, this a must watch. seems very contrary to the narrative that they have been force feeding us for a little while. twitter takes me down for that but twitter has no problem saying that coronavirus disinformation spread by the chinese government does not violate their rulings. i just put something out there

that challenged the narrative. because i have a large platform, i'm canceled. steve: and just like you said a moment ago on the other topic there is a double standard. >> there is definitely a double standard. they censor conservatives. big tech censor conservatives. it's not that we think that's the case that is the fact. those arcase. those are the facts. twitter allowed a tweet from iran. in the tweet he talks about striking a blow against the united states. they allow that but censor don jr. and censor the president? this is crazy. they are going to hear about that today in the hearing about this double standard. i point out there were four members of congress shadow banned just two years ago. you think about 435 in the house and 100 in the state. only four gates, nunes, meadows and jordan. they said it was just a glitch. what did you put in the algorithm? it's not a glitch. if i had a nickel for every time

they said the word ditch -- brian: this is not interesting, fascinating or aggravating. this is going to affect the election. jeff bezos, joe cook and. for bezos the first time. this is going to be extraordinary. for google they are suppressing conservative writers you had breitbart on saying they gave this warning a year ago. the average american not into politics like this is going to be searching different articles to get perspectives. wondering why you cannot get conservative points of view right or wrong. that i know, is wrong. >> yeah. you are right, brian. particularly in an election year. we have a filibuster of examples that we'll points out today in the hearing that have happened in just the past few months. here we are 97 days before the election. the impact it could have on the election process is profound. so, that is why this is so important that we. brian: you got to score points today. you can't talk at each other. you have got to score points today. >> i think we have got to show

what's going on and how that could impact the election. i think that's critical. ainsley: congressman, thanks for being with us. >> you bet. thank you all. steve: we are reclaiming our time. [laughter] >> thanks, guys. ainsley: good to see you. jillian has headlines for us. jillian: a former new york city fashion executive identified as the woman killed in a rare shark attack in maine. julie was swimming with her daughter 20 yards offshore near the family's vacation home. officials say she was bit by a great white. her daughter was not hurt. this is the first deadly shark attack in maine's history. more than 100 law enforcement agencies are backing out of a security agreement for next month's democratic national convention in milwaukee. concerns stemming from a new policy preventing officers from using crowd control methods like tear gas or pepper spray amid violent protests nationwide. more than 1,000 officers from outside agencies were expected

to assist with the event. security men caught on camera trashing a. the masked men knocking products off the shelves, smashing in display windows and flipping tables. the vandals causing more than $13,000 in damage the dalely i g the community. steve: all right, jillian, meanwhile a focus group of michigan voters who supported president obama in 2012 now question joe biden's ability to lead today. >> he doesn't have his own ideas. >> i think he is kind of a puppet, you know, for lack of a better word. >> talking about joe biden there lee carter spoke with those voters. she shares her findings coming up next. ♪ why do you want to give me a run around ♪ sure fire way ♪ to heat things up ♪

steve: a focus group of michigan swing voters who voted for president obama in 2012 and then voted for donald trump in 2016 are now speaking out about their fears about what happens if joe biden is president. >> i don't think that biden is going to be rubbin rub running r

country. whoever his vice president is going to be running our country. >> he doesn't have his own ideas. >> i think he is kind of a puppet, you know, for lack of a better word. >> okay. here with reaction president and partner of maslansky and partners lee carter. lee, good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: what's interesting about these people are they voted for donald trump after they voted for -- joe biden's president barack obama. now they have got real questions after, you know, they supported obama-biden now they got questions about joe biden. >> yeah. i think it's really really interesting. when you look now the biden candidacy has played out, no one is really sure what it is that he is going to do for them he hasn't rolled any signature policies. should be familiar with joe biden and what is he going to do. they are saying i'm not sure

what is he going to do for me. it bears itself out in the polls. when you look at polling numbers for joe biden. two thirds of voters who support joe biden are actually voting against donald trump. not for joe biden. that means only 30% for him as a candidate and for his ideas. a lot of these folks saying his running mate is going to be very important are basically saying the same thing. i don't know what is he going to do for me. i'm not sure what a joe biden presidency looks like and with less than 100 days to go, joe biden really has to make that case. because anybody -- every candidate that wins we always know at least one signature policy is going to stand usually what drives them over the finish line. that's what is happening with donald trump and not happening with joe biden right now. steve: surging because she is not donald trump. sound familiar? absolutely. >> sure does. steve: focus group that axios did, watch. this the man was in office for 36 years as a senator and 8 years as vice president. name one thing that he achieved.

can any of you name a single achievement from joe biden? nothing. >> no, i can't think back. >> oh, man, that's embarrassing. he just rolled out another plank of his platform policy yesterday. apparently nobody saw it or nobody is paying attention. >> he is not breaking through and resonating. he has number of proposals from home. and people are not watching. people are not paying attention. it's not resonating. we saw his plan on getting kids back to school. when you talk to voters about it, they just weren't sure exactly what was different about what was he proposing versus what was happening out there. is he not resonating. gives speeches like you know he is a nice guy. i really like him. he is the kind of perch i would like to hang out with. then he starts running and he doesn't resonate and break through and break through and have confidence that he otherwise does when he is not running. this is not new.

something we have seen before. not the first time joe biden has run for president. let's not forget that it's really important that we remember that he has had a very, very long time to make his case. steve: yeah. >> this isn't a new candidacy. this isn't just we haven't heard from him the last few months because of the covid situation. this is somebody who we have seen our whole life and doesn't know what he will do for us. really important to note as well. everybody is talking about how bad donald trump's approval rating is. right now about 40%. joe biden's approval rating is not much better. he is at 44%. we are not looking at a big shift or a wildly popular candidate in joe biden. so he has some work to do between now and election day should he -- steve: all right. lee carter. thank you. perfect timing. >> thank you so much. steve: we'll be right back. ♪

while in major league baseball so people wonder about sports. if it was up to joe biden he would cancel everything. ainsley: i don't think anyone watched all five hours of the barr hearing. we were watching who it here on fox. we have all of the ups and downs that you need to know. when we started the show it was funny. brian gases talking and steve said i reclaim my time. everyone is talking about that. steve: have you ever tried to reclaim your time from brian kilmeade? it's almost impossible. ainsley: what's interesting brian and steve, they had barr there for a hearing. steve: yeah. ainsley: but you are not letting me be heard because every time he tried to defend himself or talk or give an answer he was pretty calm pretty much the whole time. they would say no, no, no, no. basically don't answer. can i have my time back? so it was just an opportunity for them. we are so close to an election, to really get their feelings out and it was tensions just snrard, steve. steve: you know, and he was very effective in answering their questions when they would let him, but, you know, at every turn, he had a legal explanation

why the justice department did different things. they everywhere trying to say, the democrats were trying to portray him as donald trump's henchman although nancy pelosi referred to him as a blob and a henchman. also, he demanded an end to demonizing the police, which is important. and said, look, this defunding the police, that is just dangerous and silly. and then he turned at one point to the democrats and said can't we just say the violence against federal courts has to stop? and the point is that is why the president has ordered the federal law enforcement officers in to portland to defend the federal court. the federal assets. here is the attorney general on that. >> since when is it okay to try to burn down a federal court? if someone went down the street to the prettyman court here that beautiful courthouse we have here at the bottom of the hill and started breaking windows and firing industrial grade

fireworks in to start a fire, is that okay now? no, the u.s. marshals have a duty to stop that and defend the courthouse and that's what we are doing in portland. supposedly, punishing the president's enemies and helping his friends. what enemies have i indicted? now, you say i helped the president's friends. the cases that are cited, the stone case and the flynn case are both cases where i determined that some intervention was necessary to rectify the rule of through make sure people are treated the same. steve: when he did ask those assembled. looking, i believe at the democrats. can't we just say violence against federal courts has to stop? could we hear something like that? nobody said anything. brian: one of those congresswomen, i was listening on fox news app. i wasn't able to see it. said you know who i am, i'm from, i guess, venezuela. i'm sure william barr knows nothing about her. and she showed a video

reportedly of maduro cracking down on protesters and compared it to what is happening in seattle and portland, which is a joke and an insult to americans and to all those people in venezuela who are fighting for freedom against a repressive dictator that nationalized all industry. that's what you are accusing the attorney general of doing? if you believe there was nothing going on until the federal agents got on the scene, i encourage you all to go to a.p. -- the a.p. reporter mike who was embedded over of the weekend in portland to see what was going on from the federal agent's perspective. i think you have the truth there the a.p. hardly a right. steve: brian that was a peaceful protest. >> brian: right wing of the republican party. in terms of what substance got done, not much. here is why. >> >> only got two minutes, sir. >> that they recognized. >> mr. barr, if i may. >> yeah. this is hearing i thought i was the one who was supposed to be heard. i gave instructions. >> reclaiming my time.

>> reclaiming my time. >> i'm answering your question. >> you have got to let him answer. >> reclaiming my time. >> we were not taking down public health orders. the gentleman's time has expired. >> will you restore my time because this witness is speaking over my time. >> you went over time. let the witness respond. >> mr. barr i just asked for a yes or no. i'm stuarting to lose my temper. >> i ware of. >> excuse me, mr. barr. this is my time and i control it. >> i will get to that. >> does it have to be with quibble bling over. >> reclaiming my time. you answered the question. i have another question for you on june 19th. >> actually, i need to answer that question. >> mr. attorney general, did you answer the question. >> no. you said under penalty of perjury, i am going to answer the damn question. brian: he did. voice in his head must be like why did i come back and why did i have to deal with this again? already has accomplished career already served in that very spot and comes back to this blaze barrage of anti-trumpism takes place on capitol hill nothing

but intensified with the election so close. ainsley: democrats probably loved it. republicans are saying that they were disrespectful it him. he was saying yeah look the president doesn't interfere with my decisions. i look at the law and i interpret it to be what is correct. what i think is equal to everyone. democrats were saying that president trump's enemies are punished and his supporters are protected. he was interrupted 29 times yesterday. it was very heated. tensions were flaring. steve: yeah. ainsley: it was hard to watch. i don't know anyone who watched the entire time. you just cringe when you are watching it. when you watch our leaders, it seems so hateful and mean spirited and bullyish. here is what jim jordan said earlier on our show. >> been trying to get the attorney general here. let the guy talk. they will wouldn't let us complete our video. they wouldn't let him answer questions. and there was a point where they weren't even going to let him take a restroom break. that's how rude they were to the attorney general of the united states of america. because they have been out to get this guy as i said in my

opening statement, ever since he used the word spying and called it what it was. they have been out to get him so much so they filed articles of impeachment against him three weeks ago. ainsley: so joe biden is running against president trump as you know in less than 100 days. what is it now? 99 on monday. 97 days now until the election. he was on the campaign trail yesterday back in delaware. and he was talking about his build back better plan. he has released another plank of that. here's what he said. >> i think i have laid out the most detailed plans on the economy and on issues relating to healthcare and the rest of any president in modern history. i mean, it's awful detailed. if i'm elected and this passes i'm good to go down as one of the most progressive presidents in american history. none of the things i'm talking about are inconsistent with a free market. not inconsistent with

capitalism. but they require certain safeguards. steve: yeah, you know e it was important for him to say look, if i'm elected i will be one of the most progressive presidents in history because there are so many people and we have been talking about all week long who support bernie sanders and they are like joe biden, you know, got to have medicare for all and things like that and he doesn't because he doesn't have our back. but, yesterday he said he would be progressive. would he be progressive enough? it all depends on what you are after. so yesterday, ainsley, to your point. he did unveil the fourth plank of his build back better economic platform. what would that would do among other things. it's a lot of repackaging ideas he has presented during the campaign. dozens of ideas. it would address the wealth gap between white americans and black la tee latino. one time student debt reduction

of $10,000 per student and $15 minimum wage and it would create a small business opportunity fund starting with $30 billion. brian: stuff he forgot to do after 44 years in congress. it slipped his mind all the sudden make things here and things like steel. i had no idea that was a good idea until donald trump ran for president and they said it will never happen again and beginning to happen. overall independent study looked at what he wants to spend on just $7 trillion which i have in n. my account and i will lend to him if he asks nice. i also asked myself what would be a tough question for joe biden to handle? how about baseball? >> it's probably not going to be able to happen based on -- based on what the leagues themselves are happening. you have the marlins saying we can't do it. so many people -- so i think they should just follow the science, the one thing that seems to work a little bit, i don't know, basketball, where no one is traveling. they are all sequestered in one

place. brian: by the way, if they ask you a question you don't understand, you are might want to use this term. pass, i haven't really looked at sports no. one would fault him on that. number one they haven't given up on major league baseball they told the marlins to take a few days off. test and go from there. not the only league opening. the nfl opens up camps tomorrow. when you talk around what's the big deal about sports. pr people, people that work the stadiums and people that park the cars. media relations people. it's the training room. you just casually said this is a guy leading the race for president of the united states probably not going to have sports. let scientists decide if i have a career or not. that is scary. steve: that was a shot at donald trump. brian: shot at us in america. is he supposed to be representing the country. steve: let me explain. we showed that note of what his notes were when he was at that event, the a.p. picture was and one of the things was listen to the scientists. follow the science because that is what he says donald trump does not do.

brian: scientists hit and run and decide if the yankees should play the phillys, great. meanwhile, let's go to janice dean. she wants to tell us what's happening in weather. you are tracking storms. janice: yeah. this one is probably going to get a name today. you can see that it's 45 mile-per-hour winds. but it does have a closed circulation yet. so it hasn't gotten a name yet. but it will today, we think. it looks like it's getting better developed across lesser antilles and warnings in effect for puerto rico as well as the u.s. virgin islands. take a look at that track. that's not looking very good for florida as we get into the weekend. i must tell you until we have that closed circulation. the exact tract and the timing and the intensity is still yet to be determined. however, if you live across florida, the southeast coast. the gulf coast, you need to be paying close attention to this storm over the next few days and we will certainly keep you up to

date. what we do know is that puerto rico is going to get quite a bit of flooding rain fall. the potential for mud slides and tropical storm force winds within the next 12 to 24 hours. there's the forecast precipitation. that is not good news for puerto rico. why will be watching this storm. here is our tropical models as we go through time. and, again, florida needs to keep an eye on this. the east coast and the gulf coast until we get that closed area of sir could you lasmghts take it with a grain of salt. but it is, of course, important that i give you warning as the system is forecast to come very close, if not impact florida or the southeast coast. there is your forecast today. not only the potential for showers and thunderstorms. but flash flooding for the central plains, the tennessee valley, the mississippi river valley. and the hot weather continues for parts of the southwest. and the northeast today. we will keep you up to date that name by the way wil is spanish.

ainsley: as attorney general barr testified before the house judiciary committee yesterday, he emphasized that antifa is, indeed, real. contradicting claims from committee chairman jerry nadler over the weekend. >> violence across the whole country. you denounce violence happening by antifa in portland. >> that's a myth being spread only in washington, d.c. >> about antifa in portland. >> yes. >> sir, there is videos everywhere online. there is fires and riots. they are throwing fireworks at federal officers. dhs is there. look online. crazy, mr. nadler. ainsley: i'm joined now by the man questioning the congressman in that video.

youtube host austin fletcher. hey, austin. >> hey, ainsley, thanks for having me. ainsley: you are welcome. your view has been all over the place. how did you get that interview. >> to be honest i was driving an uber with my friends and i guess mr. nadler was waiting for his uber outside. and he was probably outside for five total minutes. we happened to be passing at that time. we got out. had a game plan, took a picture and, you know, did the interview just as you saw it. ainsley: sometimes this is how careers are made. what is your platform. what do you do? >> i'm a youtubeer, i started my channel three years ago fletcher talks. i startetalk -- fleccas talks. giving automatic credibility to the protesters. i never saw many people going out and actually asking them to explain their positions. and the first video i made went pretty viral. the right was pretty starved of

this type of content. i found my place like an advocate. political advocate but also a person who could encourage others to get involved as well. very low production making my videos is very easy. i use my phone. so i wanted to kind of encourage people to take the power of the media away from the corporate establishment. ainsley: okay. so let's talk about what nadler said. he said antifa is a myth and you said basically it's all over the internet. you can see the fires. you can see the organization. were you surprised by his response? >> i was. i was. because at the end of the day, political violence should be disavowed by both sides. it shouldn't be a partisan issue. hearing mr. nadler say it's a myth, it really made me question his motives and honestly his agenda. we see the for the last 60 plus nights we have seen the footage online it's going viral. i think the echo chambers are the bigger problem here. the right is sighing the fires, the molotov cocktails. the fireworks. the attacks on police. the left is seeing the other framing of it where it's

veterans and mothers getting tear gassed by storm troopers the reality is somewhere in the middle. mr. nadler in the situation is relying on echo chambers to keep the people, to be honest the apolitical people asleep and assuming yeah, i'm center, center left. still a democrat. the bad guys are the other side. we see these videos going viral. the daily caller crew, those people have been in portland in the action in seattle showing us on a daily basis what's really going on. here mr. nadler say it's a myth. i thought it would be better if he would have said hey i'm not doing interviews today. ainsley: as soon as it turned to antifa his aides whisked him away and put him in the uber. thank you for being with us. >> you are welcome. ainsley: we reached out to congressman nadler's office for a statement but we have not heard back yet. we will let you know in we do. how did the media cover the bill

brian: time for news by the numbers i picked the become ground music. $1 million the total cost of damage to nypd vehicles during months of protests. the "new york post" says more than 280 of them have needed repairs after being hit by vandals. i don't think they were riots.

hearing loss. >> micromanager gets involved but really gets involved when something has to do with the president. steve: well, here with reaction media reporter for the hill joe concha. i'm sure you were busy in front of your television for almost five hours yesterday. for a while, it looked like with the democrats constantly interrupting, after immediately after they asked a question. it seemed like mr. barr for the most part was a bystander at times. >> yes. everybody wants to reclaim their time. ask barr a question. barr begins to respond and cut him off before he could answer the question. look, the coverage is much like the way democrats treated barr which is to take the exact opposite position of the president in terms of the protest, for instance, right? and we see this cya going on now with coverage of these protests and bill barr was right to point them out they are violent. did you a story how a million mn dollars in damage alien to nypd vehicles. billions of damage overall across the country from peaceful

protests. they are being called largely peaceful or mostly peaceful. at one point abc news had a tweet this was really remarkable. protesters in california set fire to a courthouse damaged a police station, assaulted officers after a peaceful demonstration intensified. whoever wrote that tweet, went to 15.7 million people on the news account by the way will need a chiropractor in terms of the way they are putting this together at this point. they are not peaceful. some are, yes. but for the most part we are seeing violence on our screens every night and for democrats to deny it, to bill barr's face, well, the pictures tell the whole story, steve. steve: speaking of the pictures, joe, it sounds like jim jordan and the republicans sprang on the democrats the last moment that video. i don't think they had reviewed it. and at one point they actually, according to jim jordan who was with us an hour ago, the democrats unplugged it so we couldn't see the rest of it. at the very beginning you saw a couple of news people and they were talking about the peaceful

protest. and behind them there were buildings on fire. >> yes. at one point. do you know this is largely peaceful and literally the picture again of building not a small one either on fire. it reminds me of the old tim russert ohio consider the great journalist of all time. used to have people on his show meet the press and play back their words and ask them to defend them it wasn't a gotcha thing. you are literally playing back interviewee's words. in this case jim jordan played back the words of many people in this industry calling what you are seeing on your screen peaceful. and it was very, very telling. and the fact that the democrats shut it down sounds a lot like big tech these days. if you have alternative view you will be shut down. you will be canceled and eliminated eric swalwell did an interview with msnbc where he said that actually federal agents were using, quote, chemical weapons on protesters. we all know what that means. that's in reference to saddam

hussein using chemical weapons on the kurds. that's the jump we are starting so he-to-see. the anchor stephanie roll did not even blink an eye and allowed him to continue making allegations like that. it's dangerous because we are in a very divisive violent time right now in this country's history and the media is doing no favors in terms of pushing back on these lawmakers who are making these absolutely ludicrous claims. steve: you know, joe, i was only watching the fox news channel. i didn't click around. that's your job. but, for people who are watching other channels and when the republicans ran that video, where you saw the law enforcement people being pelted by all sorts of projectiles and commercial grade fireworks and ball bearings shot from slingshots and stuff like that, a lot of people watching the other channels are going hey, what's that. i never see it on the channel i watch. >> isn't that amazing, right? it's not just isolated to one couple city blocks in portland. it's seattle, it's minneapolis, it's new york. it's atlanta. it's chicago. this is going on across the country.

this should be the number one news story right now on the evening news and instead all we get is basically the bias of omission, which is the most insidious kind of omission you can have. anyway steve got to go. going to do some jocking today. the wife recommended it. silent jogging run for extended periods you have time kind of wild. steve: it's hot outside. if i were you i would stay in my basement and drink ice tea. >> that's a good idea. i'm in the basement and ice tea is next to me as i speak. good to go. thank you for that advice. probably saved my life. steve: you bet. i have actually been in his basement and he is not telling a lie there joe concha, thank you very much. is he looking up at the floor joists right there. thank you, sir. meanwhile the state of south dakota is unveiling their plan to get kids back into school. governor kristi noem says the science is clear. kids need to go back to school. and she will explain why to you next. what if i sleep hot? ... or cold?

♪ steve: as all 50 states debate plans to reopen schools, our next guest has already unveiled her plan for in person learning in south dakota, a state that never even closed down to begin with. brian: joining us with her plan is south dakota governor kristi noem who made the announcement yesterday. governor, $47 million gets every student back in school? >> well, the science is clear. our kids need to be in school. it's better for them. we have got a lot of kids that haven't checked in since this virus hit. it's really our most vulnerable population that needs to be back in those classrooms. ainsley: many of us are trying to plan the rest of our lives. we are all just on hold right now waiting to see where we are supposed to be. if we should move, if we should stay. if our kids are going back to school. when will governors -- when will y'all make decisions? i'm sure it's up to each governor is going to have their

own timeline. when are you going to say a definite? >> well, for us, our kids are going back to school. ainsley: definitely? >> definitely. they will definitely be in the classroom. we have proven that distance learning is not as effective as being in the classroom. we think that kids have only achieved about 70% of the learning that they could have had they been in school. and then, also, we have a lot of kids that don't have a stable home environment. they don't have parents that are really being responsible to make sure that they're learning. those are the kids getting hurt the most. in south dakota, in some districts it's up to 30% of the children. they need to be there in the classroom where these teachers and administrators can see how they are doing. look at them. give them a hot meal. make sure that we're taking care of them and then make sure that every single child at this important time in their life that they have the opportunity to learn so they can be successful for the rest of their life. steve: sure. it's not just learning as you detailed. there are some american children who that is the only hot meal they get all day.

when you take that out of the equation, there is a lot of hunger going on. but, the students, governor, just part of the equation. have you also got the teachers. and some of them are, you know, they're older. some of them have conditions that put them at risk. how are you dealing with the teachers? >> well, we have fantastic teachers in south dakota. two thirds of them aren't in the vulnerable population so we are asking them to go back. they really have a mission in their hearts to take care of these kids. they are anxious to get back in the classroom, too. for those that are older or have pre-existing health conditions that make them vulnerable to the virus. there are accommodations that can be made. i met with administrators yesterday and they were all being very flexible with our teachers. allowing for social distancing. allowing them to teach the online classes. to do things a little differently than in the past. i'm impressed in south dakota when you give people direction and tell them what you want to see, they have just stepped up and really put forward plans that are going to work for kids and protect those teachers. and i want to remind you the

transmission rate between children of this virus is very, very low. you know, this is safer for our kids to be in classrooms for these teachers than being in walmart, than being in a pharmacy or grocery store. this is going to be an environment that will be something that they can learn, they be can safe and he will take good care of them. brian: we could always go to a liquor store and target but we couldn't go to school. >> right. brian: do all kids wear mask at all ages? how do you separate the classrooms? have you staggered or have you staggered the times in which they go in? have you give us an idea what you decided on? >> every school district is going to make a different decision that works for their facilities, for their children. they are going to be back in school. as far as masks, i'm not mandating any masks at the state level. you know, it certainly would be challenging for a child to keep a mask on for seven or eight hours a day. even while i sought with a child that had one on five or 10

minutes is very difficult for them. and they are constantly touching it, taking it off. dropping it on the floor. those all increase rates of infection. and certainly thought an environment that is going to help them stay safe. so, i think that every school district is approaching it differently and telling parents if your children want to wear masks they can but we are not going to make them. ainsley: in new york, governor cuomo has said the children have to wear a mask. they have to have a barricade around each desk and they have to social distance. school board is trying to make decisions. you have unions getting involved. are you dealing with any of that there? >> i would not, really. in south dakota, we certainly have a teacher's union. but they have been giving us some feedback as well. and honestly, members of the teacher's union are giving different perspectives as well. i met with a bunch of parents yesterday. and it was interesting to me because they were parents of diverse background. different employment, different careers. every one of them said i have no idea how my children would ever

keep a mask on all day. they just said some of them were in the healthcare field and they said in our hospital every day the workers who work in healthcare don't keep their masks on properly all day long. how do we expect children to do that? and so, you know,. ainsley: sorry to interrupt you but when you talk to the majority of parents, what do they say? they are for reopening? >> they are. they wants their children in school. they recognize that they're falling behind. and it didn't matter on the income levels whether they were people that didn't have many resources or people who had a lot. they all recognized that our children were falling behind and they needed them to be with their teachers who had the expertise to help them reach the highest level of their potential. steve: thank you, governor, for explaining the plan out in south dakota. best of luck to you and everybody else. >> thank you, appreciate it. steve: from south dakota, we now go to our new york weather center bunker where janice dean is tracking a storm that could impact florida this weekend.

janice: yes. absolutely. so we think that this is going to be our next name storm. isaias. probably in the next couple of hours. we have to have a closed area of circulation though. and that's why we don't have a name just yet. even though the winds are sur passing tropical storm force levels. what we are going to see is very heavy rain as well as the mudslide potential and tropical storm force winds for puerto rico and the u.s. virgin islands. that's where we have our tropical storm warnings. there is our track. i must mention because we don't have a closed area of circulation, the exact timing and the track and intensity are still yet to be determined. once we get that area of circulation and the named storm, we will have a better idea. but, in the wheen while, we certainly want folks across florida, the southeast coast, the gulf coast to pay very close attention to your latest forecast. we will certainly keep you up to date. tropical storm warnings in effect again for puerto rico and the u.s. virgin islands and the storm is going to eventually

move into the bahamas region headings towards the weekend and then, again, florida, southeast coast, gulf coast, all need to watch the system. look at the tropical models as we go further thought time. florida looks like a bulls eye right now. again, we still have a few days to get our forecast exactly right. all right, steve, ainsley, brian, back to you. brian: all right. janis, thanks so much. watch all that and try to pronounce it throughout the day. jillian mele according to reports is ready to report from upstairs. jillian: i am, good morning. begin with this story we are following. the colorado state health department reopens the investigation into the death of elijah mcclain. he died after a confrontation with police last august in which paramedics used a dig ketamine to sedate him. a corner never determined mcclain's cause of death saying he could have had a bad reaction to the drug or could have died from force used by officers. an independent team is looking into the drug and the administration of it. the trump administration will no longer accept new daca

brian: investigators are saying a great white shark was responsible for a deadly attack off the coast of maine on monday. she was attacked by swimming with her daughter marking the first fatal attack in the state's history. what does this mean for americans heading out to the beaches being she was only 20 yards from shore. professor at state university dr. james solekowski. what stands out to you on this,

a great white that close to shore? >> well, well, to be honest with you, it's not unusual for great whites to be close to shore. i mean, this is a classic sort of predator relationship that is coastal seal's life near shore inenvironment and white sharks are there to feed on them shocking event that occurred not unusual for sharks to be that that close. brian: 63 years old swimming with her daughter and swimming in a wet suit. could that have led to what you believe thinking perhaps she was a seal? >> sort of a complicated process, right? there are seals around that area. and if you are in an environment, if you are swimming in an environment where the white shark's food item is there and you are sort of resembling that prey item, it's a great

chance that a person could be mistaken for that food. i think that's kind of what happened here. brian: according to eyewitnesses. they say something underneath the water threw her up in the air. we also know she was released. what was -- what does that tell you? >> well, that tells me that the standard traditional sort of predator-prey interaction with a white shark. they try to ambush. they are strong amazingly fast and powerful shark. and what they do is try to come from behind or below and try to knock out their prey with this major blow. you can imagine getting hit by a mac truck but that mac truck also has teeth. brian: but, yet, she was released and looked like the kayakers picked her up and got her to shore. maybe what the shark said not what i wanted to do? >> it's possible. a lot of what we see with shark attacks is that the case of

mistaken identity. with a white shark they often will bite and release. let their prey kind of bleed out and come back and eat it later. remember that eating seals which are big. they have claws and teeth. so what they typically like to do is incapacitate it and then come back and finish their meal. brian: if you are in that area, would you go back in the water today being that the shark is so loose? >> absolutely. i mean, what we need to think about is be aware of your situation and your surroundings. these events are so rare. if sharks were there to feed on people, there would be a lot more of these mortalities that take place. there haven't been. this is the first in since we have settled that area. so, you just have to be diligent in your surroundings. don't go where seals are. don't go, you know, go any type of activity that you might see out in the water becomes a level of what you are comfortable with.

brian: dr. sulikowski, i know it's their area, their ocean, does that great white shark need to be hunted? >> absolutely not. they are apex predator we need them. the reason they are there close to shore there is a lot of their food source there is a large population of seals. when you have an ecosystem out of balance it's not good for anything. brian: it's not good all the way around. dr. sulikowski, thanks so much. >> absolutely. brian: julie was 63 years old. senator tim scott is going to be here live. what does he think about the new rescue package and greg gutfeld what is does he think about interview with tim scott? that's going to be interesting. struggling to clean tough messes with wipes? try mr. clean magic eraser sheets. just wet, squeeze and erase icky messes in microwaves

i push the machine. brian: we asked griff to do something special because we asked him to watch every minute of yesterday's hearings and sparks were flying on capitol hill, democrats decided to spar with bill barr and not let him talk. ainsley: interrupted at least 29 times. steve: griff jenkins live in washington, griff, during the program we said it was cautionary for the democrats because he was really good at aning -- answering questions if they'd let him. griff: seemed that democrats were afraid of what attorney general would say. the was contentious and confrontational. it was clear from the start that the democrats were not going to let barr respond. they hammered him on everything from russia probe to flynn and stone cases and civil unrest. here is an example with the chairman. >> you used pepper spray on

american citizens, you did it in washington, lafayette square, expand it to portland and now projecting fear and violence nationwide in pursuit of obvious political objectives. shame on you, mr. barr. >> can i just say -- >> shame on you, my time has expired. griff: he didn't get it often but when he had time barr defended his actions and went on the offense. >> federal courts are under attack. since when is it okay to try to burn down a federal court? supposedly punishing the president's enemies and helping his friend, what enemies have i indicted? who -- could you point to one indictment that's been under the department that you feel is -- is unmerited, that you feel violate it is rule of law?

griff: daniel, schiff's attorney, remember him, line of questioning by nadler, advising on twitter, don't be afraid of barr's answers. jim jordan demanded fairness for the witness. >> i don't want the time. i want the attorney general to be able to have enough time to respond to accusations and questions of him and you guys not cut him off. griff: barr requested 5-minute bathroom break and nadler simply responded, no. steve: class act. we heard from the ag, thank you, griff. brian. brian: all right, meanwhile four minutes after the hour, if you were confused and if you want to see rudeness defined, maybe you should take a look at this?

>> you've only got 2 minutes, sir. >> that they recognized -- >> yeah, this is a hearing, i thought i was the one that was supposed to be heard. i gave instructions -- >> i'm answering your question. >> you to let him answer. >> you're not taking -- we were making narrow -- >> would you restore my time because the witness is speaking over me. >> mr. barri just asked for a yes or no. i'm starting to lose my temper. >> i am aware of protestors in federal governments -- >> i control it. >> you answered the question. i have another question for you. on june 19th -- >> actually i need to answer the question. >> mr. attorney general, you did answer the question. >> you said under penalty of perjury, i want to answer the damn question. >> it was a learning moment.

brian: they are going at trump through barr. this is about the election and what's at stake, isn't it? >> absolutely, there's no question about it. this is what we should first notice, we have the right ag at the right time. attorney general barr was undeniably powerful, they were afraid of his questions, frankly the democrats were filibustering the answers to their own questions. that is obvious, it is amazing to watch. all around the country people got to see chaos in congress run by the democrats, do you want chaos, chaos around america runed by the democrats, of course, you don't, so yesterday's hearing was only a snipped of what's to come if they gain control and that's why our voters around the country won't let that happen. ainsley: yeah, republicans have said they sounded like angry bullies, they were rude, inflammatory, wouldn't let him answer the question. it was all for show and not for

substance. what are your republican friends saying about it that were there in the room? tim: it was embarrassing, talking to the folks that were watching the hearing, barr's answers were actually very clear, very concise and direct. he was not going to be bullied and that was a powerful statement as well. the challenge, of course, is the democrats, they didn't want to hear an answer to a question and the other thing i want to ask you all, what happened to police reform? if the democrats were so serious about police reform you have the top cop in america in a hearing for 5 hours and they did everything except for talk about the issues that are impacting minority communities. instead of having that conversation, they decided to play politics with america's future, to play politics with america's minority communities.

they had no idea at all that they would present to attorney general about performing attorney general -- it's quite troubling and frankly helpful to our cause. steve: let's talk about what washington is trying to deal with and that's more rescue package for the pandemic and it sounds like democrats and republicans are far apart but there are republicans who are not on board because they don't think we have the money to spend even though this is a time of national consequence and a lot of people are really hurting. there's so many people, senator, in the restaurant industry who, you know, they haven't had a paycheck for months from their employers so you have got an incentive in the heal's act, can you explain how that would work because we have a lot of viewers who are interested in it. senator: here is the key. we have to have incentive-base

economy, we have to find ways to encourage investment in america's economy that produces results. what we are doing increasing the deduction for businesses when they eat out, that means that instead of having 50% deduction, you can have a 100% deduction. what does that translate to? more jobs and more hours in the restaurant industry. one out of every four jobs in april that was lost were lost in the restaurant industry. that translates 5.5 million americans lost their paychecks because the -- because of the shuttering of restaurants. steve: senator, would that be temporary or forever because there are a lot of businesses that would, go, hey, sounds good to us? senator: yes, it is temporary, through the end of 2020. what we want to have is have temporary and targeted relief because of the pandemic. we don't want to have a permanent policy position that

blaze into 2021 and beyond because frankly i believe that we are very close to a vaccine and we are going to have the most amazing 2021 if we maintain control of the white house and the senate. we will see a robust economic recovery therefore what we are doing today should end at the end of the pandemic. brian: senator, shows that you have a business background because you're worried about the restaurants. you also have to worry about the gyms, all the business owners, small margins, they have been shut down with no hope at the end of the tunnel -- yeah, no hope because not even in a phase. meanwhile part in new york, in new york there's no gyms because the governor feels though he wants to control every aspect of this and being the numbers are down now, one thing he wants to do is crack down on this. i don't know if you have a monitor there, over the weekend there was a drive-in concert and evidently in south hampton long island and they got out of the car and they were tight next to

each other. he's going to go and find out who they are and get the organizers. i think he's going to look to put them in jail, is that the right approach? senator: that's a terrible approach. how about equal application for the law? equal application of the law. you can't go after a house party when you have thousands upon thousands of people in your streets without masks on. if you're really concerned about public health, you go to where the largest crowd is gathered and you implement and enforce mask ordinance. that's not what he's trying to do. he's picking and choosing winners and losers and that sounds like what democrats are doing all of the time. brian: i'm pretty sure they weren't social distancing in the middle of shutting down the highway. no problem there but if you go forget -- god forbid you have want to have a good time and get

overzealous, he will look to video and put people in jail. senator: this is the scariest thing that we could see in america is when those in power pick and choose who they want to target. that's exactly the wrong thing. it's exactly what lead to chaos and anarchy and that's why we are seeing so much of it around the country. is that the democrats and liberals are literally picking and choosing who to enforce the law upon. that is a dangerous time and sooner or later it gets very dangerous for the most vulnerable people in this country, those who are not in power. that's why they consider leadership the swamp. ainsley: all right, senator scott, thank you for joining us. senator: yes, ma'am, have a great day. ainsley: you too. jillian is upstairs and has headlines for us. jillian: 21 states in federal red zone for coronavirus outbreaks, each one reporting at least 100 new cases per one hundred thousand people. poise, north carolina and wisconsin are the newest states

to be added. in the meantime florida hitting record of 186 covid-19 deaths in a single day. battle brewing on capitol hill as lawmakers debate stimulus plan. remove federal agents from portland as unrest reaches 62nd straight night. demonstrations stayed mostly peaceful overnight. fire was set near the federal courthouse but quickly put out. city leaders will fine the government $500 for every 15 minutes they guard the courthouse spent. vice president mike pence says the violence has to end. >> make no mistake about it, our federal officials are going to have the protection that they need, we are going to protect that federal courthouse and president trump has made it clear, we will have law and order in our streets. jillian: in seattle major jenny durkan they have left the state.

>> when they ran the video of anarchy and after it ran, there was a silence because the democrats were saying are you going to believe me or your lying eyes, there it was the anarchy, destruction, the violence, the injuries being inflicted, the deaths. antifa according to the justice department, other federal states and local officials who have been probing this group for years now says it is a loosely organized but highly evolved group of antifascist protestors, that's their -- that's their driving force but really they've become anarchists and now they want trouble just for trouble

sake, they want dysfunction. they want to cause communities to be upset and uprooted. they use very sophisticated encryption now. very slick on social media. they communicate in cells. they are occupying movement or black lives matter but they are beyond that. they are really activists, anarchists in the classic sense. their job is to disrupt government and their job to unsettle people, uproot neighborhoods, their job is to menace society as we know it. it's no bologna, this is a serious, serious -- one of the faults i have to help equal some of the violence i want more, you know, probing of these groups the way we took down the mafia, organized crime. i want more electronic surveillance informants, agents penetrating the group, drawing

sharon tate pregnant. charles manson was epitome of evil. he was the most popular t-shirt in the country, even bigger than ché guevara. charles manson, they wanted to carry his baby. only a sampling of the awful destructive charisma that this man had. i'm sure the devil received him as member. this period was particularly flamboyant aside from interviews, we had the talk show started in these years, you had the skin head rumbles, confronted the racists, exciting time.

i felt like a warrior for the righteous side of life. it was very, you know, invigorating and it's all on fox nation. brian: you never had to do early to do fox back then. [laughter] >> geraldo: i go to sleep at this hour. brian: exactly. all in your series i am geraldo 50 years, part 3 on fox nation from now august 22nd, you can get a copy of sean hannity's book, i met him. foxnation.com for more information. that's what sean looks like. ainsley: joe biden unveil it is final pillar of economy plan, this time work on working families, would this help with problems or start problems, our experts will debate next.

sensitivity as well as our gum issues. there's no question it's something that i would recommend. steve: 8:30 here in the east. let's talk politics. joe biden revealed economic plan this time focusing on racial inequality and working families. >> i think i've layed out the most detailed plans on the economy and on issues related to health care and arrests of any president in modern history. it's awfully detailed. if i'm elected, i'm going to go down most progressive presidents in american history. steve: here for debate, fox news contributor and former economic

adviser to president obama, robert wolf, screen left appropriately and member of the white house economic recovery task force steve moore, screen right. robert, let's go with you because you think that joe biden's plan is genius. >> robert: it's a great plan, the first leg was focused on manufacturing, the second leg was focused on clean energy and infrastructure, focusing on rural areas, bringing them 5g. the third area was rebuilding communities in urban cities and the fourth area is on systematic inequality that we are seeing more prevalent now than ever. the facts don't lie. you look at the businesses closing, predominantly black and brown businesses at much greater rate, 40% for small businesses. this is a great plan and as i told my friend steve moore who is going next, trump doesn't

have a plan, there is no recovery plan coming out of this white house. steve: that's why joe biden says he will build bag better. that's where that comes from. steve moore, in addition, joe biden's plan include one-time student debt reduction of $10,000 per student and 15-dollar minimum wage, what do you think about that? steve: well, first of all, let me say when he gave his talk yesterday he was blaming trump on all of the violence that's going on and when -- and when is joe biden going to step up and -- and condemn this mob rule that's going on in the cities, robert. when are you going to see democratic leaders start to say, look, when to have safety in our cities, we need -- we can't have people throwing rocks and bottles at police and so on. i'm still waiting for joe biden to speak out against that. he won't do that because those are biden voters. he has not. he has not condemned it.

no democratic leaders are condemning the violence. i think we are all sick of that. look, on the economic's plan it's pure tax and expense, steve. $2 trillion of tax increases on capitol gains, increases on death taxes, payroll tax, come on, robert, how do you revive the economy by taxing the very small businesses that create the jobs in the first place? i don't get that. steve: robert, over to you. >> you know it's not accurate what you just said. first of all, your plan is let's cut taxes again because of makeup growth, you guys are predicting 4 to 5% growth. we are in a recession just like in bush recession, obama took us out of that recession, biden will take us out of this one. i know that you want to go back prepandemic but unfortunately the pandemic happened, you can't look back and you have to look forward. honestly, you guys have no plan, it's the same thing all over again. you guys cut taxes, what happens to fiscal responsibility?

you guys have the biggest deficit and debt in history. come on, you will cut that -- >> robert, you can't have it both ways. 3 trillion, 3 trillion-dollar spending plan and you're talking to me about fiscal responsibility. there's no way to pay for the plan. we want to reduce the -- we want to cut the payroll tax. i think that's actually something that you've been in favor of so that you provide a tax break for every worker and every small business in america. that's a great -- barack obama supported that years ago. why is it a bad idea for trump but good idea for obama? steve: okay, robert, this is very confusing when you have two steves in the middle and screen right as well. great discussion, thank you very much for joining us live to talk about joe biden's big plan. steve moore and robert wolf.

big tech ceo's on the hot seat as they face accusations of censoring conservatives, we are live with the preview coming up and we woke up greg gutfeld early for his take. you will hear from him coming up next.

ainsley: well, today big-tech ceo's in the hot seat on capitol hill. steve: all set to testify virtually. brian: hillary vaughn from sister network fox business, of course, live from washington. hillary, this is going to be a sensation, we have never seen jeff bezos before especially

with these guys. reporter: this is the first time all four of them will be showing together. most high profile tech hearing to date. the theme is antitrust but lawmaker will throw any question at witness and take advantage of their time in hot seat. we will heard from top republican jim jordan, a preview of what to expect today. >> they censor conservatives. it's no we feel that's the case, we think that's the case, that is the case. those are the facts. they censored the president. this is crazy. they are going to hear about that today in the hearing. >> look at opening statements and here is the quick take away from each ceo. amazon jeff bezos will talk about how the pandemic has driven consumers to shop in new ways through curb-side pickup making rivals like target and wal-mart even more competitive. apple's tim cook will say one of the biggest competitors is sitting on the virtual witness

bench right next to him google. sundar pichai will say google is comparing with hey, siri, hey alexa and consumers have more choice than ever. and mark zuckerberg over political bias. they should not be the ones making the tough call on this but while these witnesses are showing up virtually, it'll be interesting to see not only their answers to tough questions but who has the best zoom backdrop and who has the strongest internet connection in a whole new world where hearings are happening virtually. you can catch live coverage of the hearing 12:00 p.m. on fox business, steve, ainsley and brian. ainsley: good deal, we will be watching, thank you, hillary. let's bring in greg gutfeld, host of the greg gutfeld show and author of new book. [laughter] ainsley: hey, greg, good to see you. greg: good to see you, guys. ainsley: congratulations on the

book and brian. you had video of hydroxychloroquine, don, jr.'s account was suspended for 12 hours yesterday, what are your thoughts about this? greg: everybody wants to see it. i want people to censor my book because i know it will sell more. if you say, hey, brian, brian, you can do whatever you want, but whatever you do, do not look at the box under my bed. you know the first thing he will do is look at the box under my bed. it's perfect. everybody wins with this, by the way, this stuff wouldn't alarm

me except all of the censorship, all of the abuse goes one way, it's always kind of towards conservatives. meanwhile the left can perpetrate any kind of hoax that they want on any social media form but everybody mysteriously is okay with that. no one seems to be bothered by the fact that they can say whatever they want. it's only when it comes from the right that it's a problem. steve: yeah, of course, they will say it's the algorithm, it's not us, whoever came up with that. greg: yeah. steve: it's not algorithm that's going to figure out who joe biden's vice president is. who is doing the calculations? we've got some of the full screens images of some of the people that are being considered. who is deciding because you don't think joe biden is going to pick his vice president? greg: look, i believe that i have more control over the weather than joe has picking his

vp. [laughter] greg: he's basically sitting in a room waiting for somebody to tell him what to do. if he actually wins in november, his vp will probably likely be the president soon because you know what a film crew sets up a shot for a world famous celebrity like say like me, they'll use a stand-in while i relax in my well-appointed trailer while they have somebody like kilmeade be the stand-in like he is for me on the five and that's what basically joe biden is for the vp, he's been stand-in for whoever it becomes. i still believer it's going to be kamala harris. brian: greg, for the longers time i said to myself, did greg get himself in good shape for the pandemic or book tour. now i'm convinced it's it's the book tour and that you're obsessed with me in an unhealthy way. it turns out according to reports i came up on virtual book event yesterday, can we go

to a tape? greg: it's technically number 9. >> wow, that's a lot. greg: the first two books i did were comedy books. it's more books than hemmingway or shakespeare. >> they have nothing on you. greg: not as many as kilmeade. kilmeade has written 37 books, all about him, though. >> every six weeks he has a book come out. greg: yes, he puts them in a backpack and walks around in the office with backpack, very strange man. brien: i don't put my books in the backpack. steve: it's a man bag. brian: i do have a backpack and you don't understand why, why would i not have a backpack, i

have to walk around with stuff. greg: you have a professional but you walk around like you're a college student with big lumpy backpack around the office and, i mean, it's embarrassing to your cohosts. ainsley and steve will not tell you this but i will. this is tough love and you can find about it in the book. i write about kilmeade in the book. i talk about his problem. steve: really? greg: inspiration. ainsley: i'm looking at how many books shakespeare wrote. surely it was more than 9. greg: well, he wrote a lot of plays. basically i was sick of my own voice because i'm a constant complainer and i thought, why don't i write a book that has solutions to the problems i complain about and a lot of the problems in here is kind of the the unbending minds, people that

won't listen to you, and so i decided that this book would be just a kind of philosophy on how to be a better person when there's a lot of stripe in this world and just so happens i wrote this book before the pandemic and it was an odd coincidence but turns out it has a lot to deal with the stuff that we are undergoing today. brian: help steve out, he has a book tour. people have to be creative. you have a drive-thru event in cape cod. people drive up in their cars and they honk at you and get a book? greg: it's at a drive-in theater in cape cod, so google gutfelleddrive-in theaters, 450 cars and i get up on the stage and i think it's -- i do live show. steve: that's great. greg: figure out how people can clap. i don't think people should be honking so it's going to be an

experiment. breaking new ground. steve: it's going to be a cook book, brian. i need to do it in a big kitchen. ainsley: good luck with it, greg. steve: the plus, it's on sale now wherever you buy books or backpacks. kidding about the backpack part. all right, it is 12 minutes before the top of the hour and janice dean joins us. janice, the folks in florida are looking at that area behind you that's inching toward them. janice: yes, we think this is going to get named probably today, isaisa is the name. 45-miles-per-hour winds with this and we are seeing tropical storm force winds approaching puerto rico, heavy rainfall is going to be the big story, tropical storm warning for puerto rico, the u.s. virgin islands, 6 to 8, a foot of rainfall. that's not good news for puerto rico and then as we watch the computer models and the latest track, coming very close to the

bahamas and then florida but i have to make mention that we have to get a real take on where the center of circulation is going to be before we can really put this into a concrete forecast so take this with a grain of salt, but the bottom line is if you live in florida, southeast coast, gulf coast, you need to pay attention to this and we will certainly keep you up to date. there's the forecast models and we expect this to be named today isaias is the name and florida needs to watch this in the next coming days. we will keep you posted. steve: thank you very much, meanwhile straight ahead field organizers in florida in democratic party claiming joe biden is suppressing the hispanic vote in the state. could this be the advantage president trump needs to win in november? a discussion coming up but first let's check in with sandra smith with a preview of what happens in the channel in ten minutes. sandra: steve, great to see you on this wednesday morning.

president trump to leave to texas, he will be touring oil rig in midland while discussing energy independence. we will watch and see if he stops and talks to reporters on his way out. plus more on bill barr's explosive testimony, k.t mcfarland will join us. we will have all of it for you here live from america's news room. us top of the hour granted. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

brian field organizers for the florida democratic party accusing joe biden for suppressing the hispanic vote. weare talking to right now. how are they suppressing it? >> when you're hearing rumbles from the inside out basically it's a concerning issue. what's happened there was a long 7-page letter that advocates that are working on the biden campaign, latinos on the ground feel like they are not being taken seriously. they are not being allocated to the right areas of the state and not being prioritized as critical factor which is strategic mistake. brian: a lot of people think you're the key and if

republicans are going to win to get hispanic vote. reset to biden camp about that, how close on issues, i was stagger today see among hispanic community immigration is not a top issue, it's jobs and the economy which speaks to republicans. >> that's exactly brian, we ran in the last 30 days over 280,000 hispanic data points revealed that 57% of latinos are all about jobs and the economy, definitely, especially in the pandemic era that we are living in that's what we are dealing with. immigration since 2016 did not rank in top 10. definitely that's an economic driven campaign and i think that's why we are also seeing the sentiment getting tighter between trump-biden among hispanics. brian: have you seen big concerted organized push from

the trump team to organize the hispanic vote? >> yes, a lot of people may not real there's very active latinos for trump movement. when the president launched the evangelicals for trump in miami he did it at a hispanic mega church. while the media may be saying something, in the ground where the people are, there's a lot of engagement and so, you know, brian, hispanic positive sentiment at 39% for trump versus biden which is quite close. that's 5 million data points. brian: lili, great to talk to you, more "fox & friends" coming up.

>> thanks for joining us and allowing us to reclaim her time. brian, have a great day on the radio. >> i'm going to try, nine until noon. >> sandra: would begin with the fox news alert, president trump set to depart the white house to midland, texas, to tour an oil rig there and speak on america's energy independence. as he often does come with the president could stop and speak to reporters on his way out and if he does we will have those remarks for you. meanwhile to another fox news alert this morning, this time from capitol hill where bickering is about to be underway. the heads of tech giants amazon, facebook, apple and google all set to testify before a house committee. good morning everyone, i'm sandra smith sandra smith. steve linick good morning to you, i'm trace gallagher. lawmakers on the
