president the federal government agreed to interest federal offices from portland, they acted as an occupying force and brought violence. tomorrow all customs and border protection and ice offices will leave downtown portland. then she took a shot at the administration. >> this is a political theater for the trump administration to bring federal troops in portland streets. it was about winning political points with their base. their presence here substantially increased the violence and the tension and the chaos in our streets. >> wolf took issue with her cleric characterization clarifying his agents will not leave portland until they are sure the threats the courthouse is gone. >> that language is very irresponsible. she is describing law enforcement officers who wake up every day, but the badge on top of the a form on to protect the

>> donald trump blaming at the liquid berlin is germany emerges as a key target for russian and chinese interference. >> reporter: the us did announced plans to remove 12,000 troops in germany as part of a larger restructuring plan, donald trump did weigh in on twitter saying germany pays russia billions of dollars a year for energy and we are supposed to protect germany from russia, what is that about? germany is very delinquent in their 2% fee to nato so we are moving some troops out of germany. 6400 of these us forces will be headed home, 5600 will head to other locations, troops will go to italy and special operations command for europe will be moved to belgium. both of these countries like germany do not meet that 2% of gdp threshold on defense spending. critic of the president call the

>> never let anyone american energy out of business. the united states is now the number one producer of oil and natural gas on the face of the earth. we will always put america first. very simple. jillian: donald trump speaking to the lone star state promising to american energy first but some in the oil industry are backing biden. >> whose plan better fuels america, the ceo of fuel america, the largest oil company in the us joins us. let's start with donald trump and go through his administration pro energy

action. in order to expand offshore drilling, the pipeline, fossil fuels, proposing largest ever oil and gas auction, rolling back obama era:rules, sharp logging increase on public lands. is the energy industry happy with donald trump's approach? >> largely and without a doubt the energy industry is happy with what trump has to rhetorically and in terms of being there for the industry. he really helped us create jobs and reserves and produce american energy independence which has strategic foreign policy initiatives that are helpful. shannon: listen to what he had to say about those accomplishments. >> i withdrew from the 1-sided, energy destroying paris climate accord.

the job crushing clean power plan. i approved the keystone xl and dakota axis pipeline for the first time in nearly 70 years we have become a net energy exporter. jillian: is there anything else that is imminent the needs to be done? >> he has done a lot of what needs to be done, no secret it has been tough, the covid-19 crisis, oil and gas and other industries but trump has put his best foot forward. what you are missing in the clip is he was influential in pushing to cut production, that helped the energy industry too. he's done a lot to help the industry. we haven't got everything we wanted, some are frustrated, but a lot better for the jobs in the

industry, 2 million oil and gas jobs in texas is a lot better in terms of keeping those and growing the number of jobs. todd: joe biden at energy plan, net 0 emissions by 2050, methane pollution limits for oil and gas operators, rejoin paris climate accord and you see the others. 's business, your business specifically, the energy industry as a whole worried about the biden plan or you feel confident you can deal with it? >> we will deal with whatever we have to deal with in the energy industry has proven how resilient it is. biden is wrong on energy and will cost jobs. to focus on renewable resources is admirable but is a pipe dream. we are better off preserving oil and gas jobs we have.

biden is foolhardy thinking we can flip a switch and have renewable resources produce most of the jobs. the other thing is he's not being honest with consumers that we've been tracking, putting methane regulations that is good on the surface but it will lead to higher prices at the pump and if you ask americans if they want that the answer is a resounding no. it isn't going to sit well when middle-class americans look at the cost, trump is stronger on energy and stronger on the economy. shannon: thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. 17 after the hour, democrats push to extend the $600 weekly unemployment, most americans receiving at are making more than they would working. shannon: lawmakers promise a second round of stimulus checks even though millions haven't received their first. peter morici joins us live next.

todd: high-stakes negotiations as americans wait for washington to sort out the next pandemic stimulus bill that doesn't seem to be going anywhere. >> very far apart on a lot of issues. i think there's a subset of issues we do agree on but overall we are far from an agreement and the president is very focused on the issue of unemployment. >> democrats pushing to extend the $600 weekly unemployment benefit. >> carly paying 2 thirds of jobless americans more than if they were working.

is a doing more harm than good? peter morici joins us to break it down. let's take a look at the proposal, $200 a week under the gop heals act in 200 and he rose act. is one of these the answer or is it somewhere in the middle? >> it has got to be in the middle, $600 a week is too much, $200 a week is not enough, $600 a week, if we extend that through march we will have a problem. democrats can say studies show this tiny didn't have that effect. it is june, your check went out the end of july or former employer calls you up and says come back to work and i say i am getting all this money, if you don't come back to work now i won't have a job for you august 1st so you go back to work but if you're making $12, $15 an hour you can be pretty

confident you can find a job in january and just wait it out if we extend these unemployment benefits. >> from a political perspective the tug-of-war going on between the parties, which party ultimately wins on this issue? >> i think the democrats win. the reason is republicans did wait too long and senator mcconnell did give in too much to people on the extreme really don't want to do anything at all. they seem to think the economy will recover miraculously on its own. all i have to do is walk down m street through georgetown to see that it is not recovering on its own. 11, abercrombie and fitch, argonne, still boarded up and they could open but they don't. same about many other big names, local retailers gone forever. we are going to come out of this if we do all the right things 10% smaller economically with 15 million unemployed that weren't

unemployed before. if we don't do the right thing to do it right now this week it could be a lot worse than that. shannon: scary when you think about it and the potential of what is going to happen with the virus this fall, things people don't know the answers to. let's talk about the second round of stimulus checks included in the republican plan. a whole bunch of people haven't received the first one. what do you think? >> according to the federal reserve in may and june half of all american families already had an income loss, democrats are obsessed with putting lots of requirements and strings in the stimulus checks so they simply don't get out. the best thing to do is give everybody a check. because it is taxable the present progressive income tax will take care of bringing the money back from those who shouldn't have it. it is absolutely absurd, demagoguery, their way of targeting checks to people who

pull a for the d, the blues and keeping money from the rich, very cynical thing that they do. my feeling is it is easy to give everybody a check, democrats won't let this happen. on this point they lose. >> $755 million government loan under the defense production act to kodak, member those guys, they used to make film and nobody uses film anymore because of these phones, they are not going to make drug production, what do you make of this transformation? >> it is a very smart move. kodak, making film is a chemical process and they make a lot of complex chemical products. one of the things we don't recognize, because of those little instant cameras that are so popular is kodak is a high-tech company. might not be in digits but chemistry, materials and so forth is very high-tech, they

have a deep understanding of and there are lots of candidates to greenfield, these basic ingredients in the united states going to drug so i like it. i like it a lot. i think it is really smart move for kodak to resurrect the company and a smart move for the american people. shannon: peter morici, thank you. there are new age polaroid cameras and i have one. shannon: will you pull it in tomorrow? >> if i can find it. >> steer clear of this wild animal, literally steer clear, the 90 minute chase to capture it. >> twitter has no problem saying that coronavirus disinformation spread by the chinese government does not violate their rules, why is it that is happening to me and other trump conservative and other conservatives in general? >> big tech ceos grilled on capitol hill accused of censoring conservatives, doctor kelly ward says she's one of the victims of big tech bias and she joins us next.

and with his people israel now during the coronavirus pandemic. our elderly jewish brothers and sisters who are so precious to god they have no access to food. as christians and jews we know that we have a scriptural mandate to feed the hungry. and here there are thousands in desperate need. 17 years ago edna was in a horrible terrorist attack. she's still in excruciating pain her food is running out and she's isolated and frightened. all the time i suffer alone with sickness and pain.

when you bless these children of abraham. go online or call right now. you can be a miracle for an eldelry jew today. >> welcome back, big tech backlash, ceos of amazon and google grilled on capitol hill answering questions on squashing competition and political bias on platforms. todd: lawmakers take on those tech titans. >> contentious at times during a hearing on capitol hill and the ceos of amazon, facebook, apple, and google were grilled by lawmakers, jim jordan accusing the tech industry of being out to get conservatives.

>> big tech is out to get conservatives. that's not a suspicion or hunch, that is a fact. if i had a nickel for every time i heard it was just a glitch i wouldn't be as wealthy as our witnesses but i would be doing all right. >> that conversation spilling over to the fairness of the 2020 elections with google's ceo. >> can you ensure americans you won't tailor your features to help joe biden in the upcoming elections? you did it in 2016. donald trump won. i want to make sure you're not going to do it again in 2020. >> >> representative gates grilled google over its involvement with china. >> why would an american company with american values so directly aid the chinese military but have ethical concerns about working alongside the us military? >> what we do in china is dominican.

>> he asked mark zuckerberg of his employees have the power to disadvantage conservative viewpoints. >> when you have tens of thousands of employees, people make mistakes, have their own goals some of the time. >> zuckerberg clarifying donald trump junior's post being taken down was on twitter and not facebook, facebook supports free expression more than rival social media giant as donald trump tweeting if congress doesn't bring fairness to big tech i will do it myself through executive orders, the people of our country are sick and tired of it. jeff bezos was smacked as he was ignored at the hearing.

political bias affecting controversy in arizona. twitter and facebook accounts flagged for posting that same hydroxy chloroquine video before the state primary, she said it has nothing to do with the drug and everything to do with politics. doctor kelly ward joins me, thanks for being here. can you hear me? can you hear me? >> can you hear me? great to be with you. >> thanks for being here. tell me what happened and why you think this is about politics. >> listening to congressman jordan i remember when those congressmen were shadow band by twitter because i was shadow band at the same time. yesterday i tweeted out or the day before a video of doctors sharing their opinions about how

they had been treating the patients, the president retweeted that, don junior retweeted that and not long after my account was suspended and i am still suspended today. it is a clear picture of bias against conservatives and when they suspended my account, they didn't just suspend some random twitter user, they suspended the duly elected republican chairman of the great state of arizona, battleground state in the 2020 elections both for the presidential election in the us senate weeks before a primary and less than 100 days before the general election. >> i understand your position when it comes to politics. i want to get your position when it comes to being a doctor and what this video had to say, people are claiming it is misinformation, unproven claims of a coronavirus cure, doctor

mark siegel on fox news at night saying earlier studies of hydroxy isaias -- chloroquine, no benefit, the doctor in you, what do you say to that? >> i saw that clip with doctor siegel and what he said and the jury is still out, there have been studies with thousands of people are retrospective analyses that show in combination with some other medications it can be beneficial and save lives. smaller studies, one in brazil should perhaps there isn't benefits. what is most important is to continue the dialogue, the research efforts to make sure we are doing the best thing possible for people out there with this virus the we know little about now but we know much more than we did for 5 months ago.

shannon: let's look at facebook, marks your post as false information and we can put that on your screen, you can see it, mark zuckerberg said saying it is proven to cure covid-19 is misleading, the fda's website talks about potential harms including cardiac arrhythmia. there are a lot of questions, you say the jury is still out on this, do you think as a doctor big protection be involved in the information people are able to consume about health on their own? >> it is pretty appalling that big tech concerns or opinions they don't agree with especially when the people doing the censoring, i doubt have medical degrees or a background in research to understand what studies are even saying. allowing people to see the information, gather it and discuss it with their own physician is i think the best way forward to get the best

treatment for people across the board. big tech is officially twitter, sorry, twitter, not sorry, they do not equally apply the standards they randomly put in place, they allow chinese propaganda promulgate and go across the internet but when a physician shares of the physicians sharing their opinions somehow that is so dangerous to societies that they must suspend me or don junior or take down donald trump's tweets. i probably could have gotten reinstated on twitter already. they told me if i were just willing to remove my tweet they already removed then i could have a 2-week time where i admitted i did something wrong and violated twitter standards. i do not feel i did so so i have

appealed and it is a pure limbo land waiting for adjudication. i hope they adjudicate very quickly so we can get back to i think being the chairman of the republican party of arizona and putting out great information for people who care about the outcome of the 2020 election. i am a conservative voice in arizona and being throttled by big tech. jillian: keep us updated, thank you for joining us, have a good day. todd: a former police officer asked for his charges to be dropped, charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder, his lawyer argues prosecutors haven't shown he knew a crime was going to be committed. tom's lawyer requesting a dismissal earlier this month, the next hearing scheduled for september 11th. a secret seller found in the home of the main suspect in the madeleine mccann case, german police using excavators and dogs today through the property three

jillian: a major milestone marked on the years long toward 50 states when we return.

>> the nfl and the players association cracking down to make sure players practice social distancing releasing list of restrictions that include attending church. >> carley shimkus is here to explain. carley: having a successful nfl season hinges on keeping players safe which is why there's a long list of activities players will not be able to participate in. according to pro football talk players cannot attend indoor nightclubs, indoor bars, in the house parties, indoor concerts, professional sporting events or and or church services that

allow attendance above 25% capacity, players will be fine for violating these rules and if a test positive after engaging in these prohibited activities they will not get paid for the games they miss. turning to twitter when commenters said to me the church is essential the nfl is not. they work on sundays anyway. they are certainly trying to work on sundays but training camp just started in 21 players already reportedly tested positive while in training camp so we will see. >> that number may have increased. a couple eagles players and they have the option to opt out of the season if they so wish. >> the next one may be said, to see this is what school has come to engage of covid-19 but this is a reality. >> this is the new normal. that these pictures out of the why. a principal showing off his schoolmates new desk shields,

you see him sitting there in the floral shirt sitting behind a desk trying to keep kids safe. schools across the country working on creative solutions to get kids back into classrooms and they installed those the students won't have to wear face masks in class. you could consider it one helpful solution to keep everyone safe. when twitter user said great effort to get kids back in the classroom but alan says kids don't sit still so it might not work. they will have to sit still but it will definitely be a big adjustment for students and teachers when everybody gets back to school in a couple weeks. jillian: we love this police officer doing good in the community. take a look.

todd: the mission to mars. and is preparing to launch its perseverance rover today. it will travel 7 months before reaching the red planet to research and export, founder and president of the mars society robertenjoins me to talk about the mission, very journalistic question right off the top, you excited? >> sure i am. let's go over the overview of the mission. it will hopefully launch within the next 3 hours, scheduled for

7:50 a.m. out of cape canaveral. along period through today through august 15th and then is scheduled to land after valentine's day next year, the mission duration at least one mars year which is about 687 earth days although some would say this feels like a march year but i digress. besides being cool wise this mission so important? >> as john f. kennedy said at the dawn of the space age a new ocean has opened. we have china going to mars and they are doing an ambitious mission, their first mission to mars, flying in or better, all land or in a rover. we took 3 separate missions to do those things so they are moving fast. the united arab emirates has a mission to mars. mars is the new world and the

society that explores and ultimately settles it will put its stamp on the future. todd: one of the goals is to determine whether life ever arose on mars. i was thinking of this and came up with the question what happens if we find signs of ancient life for signs of existing life? >> we need to follow it up. right now we don't know what life is was all life on earth is the same. we use rna and dna to transfer information. that is the alphabet of life on earth and as americans we use english which is the latin alphabet the french and germans use. if that is all you know about language, that is the off of it but the russians use an alphabet that is somewhat different but uses the same principles, the chinese on the other hand use a totally different alphabet that

works on a completely separate form of principles, different way of conveying information. there could be totally different ways of life, totally different elements of life in the universe and this affects not only our scientific viewpoint but it will determine our view of biotechnology, self replicating information technology, technology of the future. >> 10 years of from now what are we discussing? >> probably discussing building the first base on mars, myspace x is moving forward we will have humans on mars by the end of this decade and we will be building a permanent base. >> this is your life's work, it is awesome, appreciate you taking the time. >> thanks for inviting me.
