under outdated antitrust laws, stifling exomp tuition in some cases intentionally targeting conservative voices. >> i will cut to the chase big tech is out to get conservatives. that's not a suspicion, that's not a hunch, that's 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. griff: ranking member jordan wasn't done he pressured son darr. largely ignored until he was pressured over using stellar data to launch competition. bezos unable to answer a yes or no. this is all part of the 13-month long investigation by the committee into the practices of the companies. but meanwhile, president trump was watching and weighed in tweeting. this. if congress doesn't bring fairness to big tech, which they should have done years ago, i will do it myself with executive orders. in washington it has been all

talk and no action for years. and the people of our country are sick and tired of it. as for actions taken, and even the possibility of breaking any of thieves companies, up, guys. congress can't actually do that the committee is expected to issue a report in the coming months which may have recommendations we will seal where it goes. but this was a wig hearing yesterday by all accounts. pete, ages have any. pete: we could have gotten a briefing from some of those congress members the differences between twitter and facebook as well. one of the guys who often steals the show in these hearings is jim jordan. had you big tech reps taking it from all sides. apple and amazon giving the anticompetitive argument. when it came to facebook, they say well, we are better than everybody else. a lot of things went back at google and whether or not they are censoring conservatives. jim jordan went right at that here is support of what he had to say. >> the yes or no question, can you assure americans today you won't taylor your features to help joe biden in the upcoming election? >> we support work that

campaigns do. >> i understand that we all do all kinds of online social media. can you today assure americans you will not table your features in any way to help specifically help one candidate over the other and what i'm concerned about you helping joe biden over president trump. >> we won't do any work, you know, to politically tilt anything one way or the other. it's against our core values. >> can you assure us today config your features as she said she did in 2016. can you say you won't do the same thing for joe biden in 2020. >> you have my commitment. pete: seems like an easy question to say yes or no but the track record with google demonstrates it's been slanted one way for a while. brian: you know what's interesting and pete i don't know if you interviewed him ainsley andy neil ferguson. he wrote the book square tower. he said look out for silicon valley because they are

humiliated because the trump team utilized all the social media apparatus located there in northern california in order to win the election. and people are blaming them. look for them to tilt back the other way next elections. i have never forgot than conversation. and i think we are seeing it. and what jim jordan is doing and others are seeing are an effort now to rebalance the scales. not to favor conservatism but not to suppress the daily caller, fox news, and breitbart. and do it purely on clicks the way it's supposed to be with that sophisticated algorithm that human beings can't quite figure out. rick grenell was stationed in germany for a while with the national intelligence with here in washington recently said this about what he has seen. >> we have got to have people that are more focused on this election. it's a less than 100 days. and we have too many people that are focused on the russian propaganda problem of the past

what we need to be able to do is recognize the russians will always do propaganda like they have done at every election. but right now we have a problem in our own country with our own tech their thumb on the scale for this election. we have got to doere was so muct matters. for example, if you have an app. app. store is it right what about when it comes to facebook buying up all their competitors what's app. as well as instagram. amazon 38% of retail controlled by one person who couldn't seem less concerned yesterday. i think there has got to be action. ainsley: four big tech companies. where is twitter bowers they are responsible for some of this as well. jim jordan, they can sit up there, these executives, these ceos who make upon tons of money. bezos, which is fine i'm a

capitalist. bezos makes 180 billion. mark zerich. tim cook 3 million. sundar with google, $280.6 million. they stand up there and say we promise. it's our core value. not to sway this election. >> we promise not to do it. but then jim jordan gives all these different examples. some of y'all have mentioned. he said google has sensorred breitbart so much traffic has declined 99%. the contents of recommendation of the world health organization. he said think about that. said the world health organization. the organization that lied to us. and if you contradict something that they say, they can say whatever they want. they can lie for china, they can shill for china, you say something against them and you get sensorred. he goes on to talk about amazon banning president trump on twitch after he raised concerns about defunding the police. amazon bands a book of critical coronavirus lockdowns. then you heard on that sound by the i will a illeana parrillo ar

your algorithm, gates, meadows nunes and jordan? pete: exactly. we will have donald trump jr. who himself was suspended from twitter. again, they were way poll from the hearing. -wall from hearing. we will get his take later on in the show. as well, the president was busy yesterday down in midland, texas, talking about energy, about the need for it to be made here in america. discovered here in america. and the difference between what he would do and joe biden's far left energy agenda. hear's the president. >> washington democrats have have embraced representative ocasio-cortez nearly $100 trillion green new deal disaster. i have added the fourth word. it's a disaster. which would ban oil and gas leasing on all federal lands. and by the way there would knob fracking. i don't think biden is going to do too well in texas. he has already written it off. it's gone no.

fracking. that's part of his platform. if these far left politicians ever get into power, they will demolish not only your industry but the entire u.s. economy. pete: yeah, when it comes to energy and industry that ultimately translates into jobs. brian, we have senile a shift from the trump campaign away from sleepy joe to he is a vessel of far leftism that wouldn't police our streets and would let our energy go somewhere else. brian: pete, is he impossible spot. he listened to his speech he says he is not going to ban fracking. guess who's him to. everybody who wants to vote for him on the way left. either you tell the american people i'm not going to ban fracking but not going to allow it to go on federal lands. goodbye aoc and bernie sanders unless it's a wink and nod and flat out lying to us. you can't keep it both ways and keep the democratic party together. here is karl rove. >> if you want your utility bills to go higher. if you want your gas bills to go higher, if you want the united

states to become depend denting on foreign sources and energy. then vote for the biden energy plan. i mean, i just saw a letter from the labor's union international to the ohio oil and gas association talking about how many union workers were working how many hours getting paid what kind of wages in order to work in the energy infrastructure that is rising up this campaign needs to be about big changes. about big contrast and the big changes country that aren't for the good. brian: right now the number one energy producer in the world. shale boom, ohio, pennsylvania and of course where the president was yesterday, ainsley. in texas. and that's what's going to come up in the debate. so the biden people are going to come back and got to say i never said i'm going to ban fracking. are you going to expand it. are you going to let the wild caters go out there and explore. when pressed in a debate he can't answer yes. pete: he can't.

brian: and expect the sanders people to vote for him unless you say by the way i'm lying. ainsley: smart of the president to go to texas because according to morning consult he was up by 7 points in may. numbers released on tuesday morning showing that biden and trump are basically neck in neck. biden is up according to this poll by 20 points in the lone star state marginal of error is 1%. pete: pick one you want the viros or union? jillian: we begin with a fox news alert now. that is not me. here we go. a break through in the search for a covid-19 vaccine possibly johnson and johnson just revealing its vaccine protects monkeys after just one dose. they are kicking off human trials today. covid-19 deaths now top 150,000 in the u.s. and more than 4.4 million total cases. seven states reporting a record number of deaths in a single

an attack dog which is something joe biden can definitely use on the campaign trail and also there is sort of that excitement she would bring sort of the new face of the democratic party. on the other hand, she is considered to be so ambitious by some who are advising biden and some donors to him that they worry that she would just start campaigning for president again rather than being a really close loyal advisor to him. those concerns might be a little bit too -- a little bit too publicized right now, and that's why i think we saw the notes on joe biden's written talking points there saying that he doesn't hold grudges against her. so, she is definitely still a top contender here. ainsley: rumors swirled when we saw her name at the top of the list land all those comments about her. what about susan rice. >> one of the things that joe biden is really looking for is somebody who is going to be loyal to him. can be with him on policy. really be on the same page. and susan rice is somebody that

definitely fulfills that they know each other well from the obama administration. and she also out of all of the top contenders right now has the most credibility on foreign policy, which is something that joe biden also thinks is very important to have in a potential nominee in the case that they do need to take over from him. however, susan rice has not ever run a campaign before, held elected office. so she would be doing that for the first time here. and she brings a lot of baggage from the obama administration with her. that would be used by the trump campaign as fuel to kind of bring up re-litigate things like benghazi, point out things about president trump. call the obama gate surveillance of his campaign and what she knew and when she knew it along with joe biden, so that is a big liability for her there. ainsley: what about elizabeth warren? >> well, elizabeth warren, the top argument for her is that she would really energy all the bernie sanders, aoc type wing of the democratic party that really

wants a progressive voice there the idea is maybe she could shore up those votes. you know, elizabeth warren, there is also not really a clear indication that biden really needs that in order to shore up those votes for him right now. and she also doesn't bring any racial diversity to the ticket which is something a lot of people, especially in wake of recent protests are really hoping for. and in biden's nominee. she also is in her '70s so she doesn't bring that new young energy that some people might be looking for in a vice presidential pick. ainsley: gretchen whitmer the governor of michigan and karen bass congresswoman and chair of the congressional black caucus. we did see biden's notes the other day and we did see different things highlighted on biden's notes the other day. he says he might not announce his running mate until the week before the election. we are hearing next week. we will let everyone know stnsz

gather and protest in the streets and protest in our cities are burning. and, yet, we are not allowed to you gather and worship and sing. i mean, it's pretty outrageous. >> tell us your message to other pastors. you founded hold the line to get more pastors involved in the civic conversation to be involved in politics. a lot of pastors are shy away from that what's your message to religious leaders today? >> you know, i think it's time. we have to rise up. we need bold and courageous pastors that are not only going to stand on our constitutional rights to worship but are they going to stand up against the insanity of these laws that are targeting the church? i mean, we really and i think it's what we are seeing across america. you know, we started a petition "let us worship" let us worship.us and sign a petition. tens of thousands of christians have signed it to take a stabbed

force and brought violence. all customs and border protection and ice officers will leave downtown port bland. brian: here to discuss it with andrew napolitano. whawhat the president told the directors and homeland security said i don't know what you are talking about. we are not moving. what makes sense here. [? what makes sense is secretary wolfe and the governor and vice president pence on this is they had a meeting. they spoke to each other. and as i understand it the forces will be withdrawn to the federal courthouse which was their original and only lawfully stated purpose. the protection of a federal courthouse. i mean, the government has an absolute duty and obligation to protect its own assets. so they are not going to be in the streets. they are going to be protecting the federal courthouse. and if there is no longer a

threat to the courthouse, then they will leave that area at the courthouse. brian: but there is. judge: to those who are always there to protect it. there is always a group of u.s. marshals who work in the courthouse whose job is to protect it. not the hundreds and hundreds that are there now because of the threats to the courthouse but those who lawfully man it in terms whenever they go and why they go? i mean, that's a political argument each side wanting to save face. i'm very happy, very happy that the tensions have been lessened. ainsley: yeah by that conversation. it's interesting they both walk away with different versions of that meeting. the governor is saying they are leaving today, the federal agents. and you have dhs saying no, we are staying until we know the courthouse is secure. we will continue to watch that what about this case in st. louis mark and patricia mccloskey they are the couple that came outside of their house with their guns right there as you see in the video defending their house. what's the latest there.

>> well, what we just saw is not a crime it is a crime to brandish to show to point a gun for an unlawful purpose. they pointed their guns for a perfectly lawful purpose. there was a mob of 500 people on private property. they live on a private road. nod a public road. the mayor of the town is their neighbor. the mob was going on that road to demonstrate in front of the mayor's house. when the mob is saying i'm going to be taking a shower in your bathroom and sleeping in your bedroom, long after you are gone, have you every right to show lawful force to deter that mob. is it wise to do that? should they have had the guns filled with weapons loaded? they weren't? those are issues of prudence. of judgment. but the issues of law is there is no crime here. so, the lawyers for this couple have filed a motion with the court to get the prosecutor off

the case. why? because she is using this as a campaign instrument to raise money. that removes her objectivity. that takes her from the realm of a principled prosecutor and puts her in the realm of a political hack using her office to advance her political goals. and that's not right. pete: judge, is this a rare thing? do you see prosecutors normally fundraising off of an ongoing case, especially one as high profile as this where you are presumably if she brings charges this couple is going to have their day in court to fight for their rights. >> she has brought the charges, pete the governor has said if they are convicted they will be pardoned. he should pardon them now before the case is prosecuted. this is very unusual. that's a great question. very unusual. you know, in about 30 states, prosecutors have properly elected. in the other 20 states they are appointed by some authority. usually the governor.

but when they are popularly elected and because they are lawyers. they still have rules that regulate them and they are not supposed to say things outside the courtroom in a campaign intended to affect the outcome of the courtroom she could talk about this case and the campaign when the case is over. she can't talk about this case and the campaign while the case is still going on. that puts the defendant at a terrible disadvantage. brian: this isn't just about the mccloskeys. other people who feel these protests have become riots and made their space, their business. can they in fact protect themselves? law-abiding citizen saying to themselves. should i let my house burn so i'm not a national figure being brought to court and indicted? is it worth it to protect my house? i worry about the message. >> yes, i worry about the message also, brian. and unfortunately, depends on where you are. in missouri, you have the right to protect your rouse.

in portland you don't. in oregon but not in the city of portland. that's what the politicians have done to us. brian: last night more tear gas and more fireworks and unrest. not as much, still unrest yesterday on day 63 in portland. ainsley: judge, thank you so much for being with us. pete: thank you, judge. >> it's always a pleasure. is janice dean around this morning? ainsley: she is tracking a tropical storm, judge. fun i couldn't should act. hey j.d. >> janis, we need rain in northern new jersey. janice: you know what? you might get your wish next week, my friend. so takes a look at it. i miss you. i miss you all. yes, we are tracking a tropical storm. it became isaias. the first i named storm on record. bringing heavy rain, strong winds. the potential for mud slides as

well as flash flooding for puerto rico. the system is supposed to go over the mountains. the mountains are quite deep and high in hispaniola. that actually ocould help weaken the storm and tear it apart. we are hoping for that we obviously don't hope that it harms people but if it loses its center of circulation it's a weaker storm as it comes across the atlantic. however, if it just skirts the mountains of hesitate pan nola it's going to be a stronger storm. we are going to be dealing with a hurricane. a lot of variables with. this we have to watch it as it moves across hispaniola and bahamas and into florida, obviously. this has it as a tropical storm but there sat potential for strengthening again if it doesn't get torn apart across the mountainous region. so, a lot of question marks here. once emerge into the bahamas we will have a better idea the intensity and the track and if it makes a landfall across the

jillian: good morning and welcome back. quick headlines now there could soon be new beef in the chicken sandwich battle. mcdonald's launching new menu items leaving many to speculate a new fried chicken sand witch in the works. the craze firing up a firestorm after popeye's debuted a chicken sandwich last year causing other chains to release their own. stay tuned. national cheese cake day. the cheese cake factory rolling out a special flavor in celebration. the chocolate caramelish. delicious brownie crust that sounds incredible. brian? brian: good for you, i'm sure. jillian: no call lore remembers at all.

brian: backing out of protection convention in milwaukee. why would they do. this comes after new orders in the city restrict officers from using crowd control measures if there are any protests which happens a lot. tear gas and pepper spray off the table. they are out. joining us now one of the police chiefs withdrawing his officers from the dnc from the west dallas police department chief patrick mitchell. chief, is it just about pepper spray and just about tear gas? >> well, pepper spray and tear gas are certainly the main issue. my fear would also be that there will be a limitation upon the police department of other tactics that they can use. but the elimination of tear gas and pepper spray is of grave concern to me. brian: why would do you this? you are the pros. other people tell you what you can't do yet they want the result? >> that's a great question. and i'm not certain why the

elected leaders in the city of milwaukee and their civilian oversight board have chosen to take this route. but the reality is tear gas, while we do not want to frequently use it, it certainly has a place in policing and if you remove chemical irritants from the tools that we can use, you leave us with very limited options after that. one of those options, unfortunately, is retreat. chemical irritants are very, very effective at getting a crowd that is becoming an unlawful assembly to leave an area and disperse without chemical irritants i'm not quite sure how we do that. brian: so, another police chief william lamb says he expects more organizations not to show up. more than the 100 have said call somebody else. and the big picture, doesn't this play with the theme across the country? we will tell you what not to do

as police officers? meanwhile, these people making the rules don't spend one day in the academy or in uniform? >> yes. i certainly do understand that politicians and civilian oversight boards have a role in policing. but, common sense would tell you if they would listen to the professionals. any professional police chief would tell you we don't want to use chemical irritants. we make decisions based on the actions of the crowd. if the crowd was truly peaceful, and we had a five day democratic national convention, with nothing but peaceful protest, there would be absolutely no need for a chemical irritant. but, again, if that is removed, we are in a bad spot. brian: rioters slash protesters they have a say in this and no one is telling them what to do. they are telling you how to handle it. meanwhile this is what the dnc said in response to that huge news. as plans evolve due to the ongoing pandemic we will continue to work with law

enforcement officials in coordination with the u.s. secret service to ensure the 2020 democratic convention is safe and secure for milwaukee residents and everyone involved with our convention. the bigger question, final thought is how are they going to do that? >> well, i have no clue how they are going to do that because, again, without chemical irritants, you are left to very few things. can you certainly use physical force to make a crowd leave or disperse from an area or you can retreat. no one wants to see it at this time in american policing a large display of physical force by the police against a group of protesters, so i'm not certain who would want that or why they would think that that's a good alternative chemical irritant. brian: chief, you are being very diplomatic the ear wrath retreat looked at as weakness. give up a precinct, take a step back, the mob grows angrier and

greater. we all know that you don't haves to a policeman to see that final thought? >> i agree with you. it's certainly interesting times to be a police officer in this country. i know in my heart that we are supported by the overwhelming majority of americans. they want professional police officers. they want positive interactions. every police chief gets that. brian: gotcha. >> we don't want bad interactions. but we need common sense. brian: good. i'm glad you made a stand and other groups made a stand, too. chief mitchell, thanks so much. >> thank you, sir. brian: still ahead on our show on the next two hours. donald trump jr. is going to be here and dr. deborah birx. it's going to be a great show. don't move. kind of get dressed. ss oral ste. taking my treatment at home. nucala is a once-monthly add-on injection for severe eosinophilic asthma. not for sudden breathing problems. allergic reactions can occur. get help right away for swelling of face, mouth, tongue, or trouble breathing. infections that can cause shingles have occurred. don't stop steroids unless told by your doctor.

>> ceos of intrawm, facebook and google grilled on capitol hill. >> i will cut to the case. big tech is out to get conservatives. that's not a suspicion you, that's not a hunch, that's a fact. >> clock ticking on the campaign trail and joe biden set to reveal his vice presidential pick. >> i'm prepared to support him in any possible way. >> susan rice, i do not think she is going to be the choice. i think it would be a bad choice for him. >> new york city it is deteriorating before our very eyes whether a do you think about san francisco being compared to skid row. >> it's getting there. >> the mayor is he responsible? >> absolutely. >> we are telling the washington

politicians trying to abolish american energy don't mess with texas. nasa planning to launch 2020 launcher today. ♪ i'm on top of the world ♪ i'm on top of the world that. >> is a perfect song for today because that rover is launching at 7:50 this morning so if about 49 minutes you can see that right here on the fox news channel mars and one day those samples will be gathered and returned back to earth so we can evaluate them. pete: very interesting how long does it take brian to get to mars? brian: longer than i thought. ainsley: did they say a month?

what did they say? i heard it in our first hour. pete: traffic, maybe there is traffic there. ainsley: seven or eight months. we will find out for you. brian: i would like to just add this nasa continues to overproduce. think about the hubble telescope and how probes lasted much longer. in this world where people disappoint nasa almost never does. let's talk about the excitement behind the number one two pick for joe biden. is he about a week away from naming that pick. why is this so significant? he says i'm a transitional figure for the party. he basically has let everybody know if i get one term it will just be one term. at 77 that one term he said that person i pick has got to be ready to be vice president. be president right away. is it susan rice? well she hopes so. how do i know? i had the volume up. listen. >> so this is not on the level.

this is meant to attack the and distract and deflect. the main thing, joist, that they are trying to distract from whether they are attacking me or somebody else is the horrific reality that under donald trump's watch 150,000 americans have died from coronavirus. 30 million almost are out of work. and our kids can't safely go back to school. that is the horror that we face now. and i understand that the american people are feeling that pain very immediately. and i think, frankly, that is a much greater urgency and concern today than the tragic loss of americans in benghazi. brian: you are right coronavirus much more important than benghazi. got it. your role there how you act under pressure reveals what kind of candidate will be. your cya memo at the end of the term as president trump was being signed in, sworn, in that's also going to define what type of vice president you might be and finalist that you are

whether you get the job or not. i think it's harris' to lose. ainsley: dana says too much of a liability because of the cover up with benghazi. listen to this. >> i do not believe that susan rice, who was president obama's rumored to be on this list i do not think she is going to be the choice. i think it would be a bad choice for him. i think the right would love nothing more than to have susan rice be the choice. she has never campaigned can you imagine what the debates would be like. pete: they know that the disasters that unfolded under her watch on the world stage. according to reports, joe biden likes susan rice they have a good relationship. if he had his druthers he would probably want to pick her. kind of like when john mccain wanted to pick jerome to bjoeli.

why would joe biden invite the scrutiny that susan rice brings. she has never been elected before of course president trump wasn't either. i think you are probably right, brian. it's at this point it's coming down to kamala harris or someone they believe can shore up the left flank because of all the tiptoeing he has to do. in the primary as if he is a moderate. running to the left to shore up his left wing base. wife would he invite another attack certainly and rightfully so what happened in benghazi not just during the event but the cover up afterwards. brian: why we box himself in to begin with i'm going to pick a woman and a woman of color. the country's most powerful ceos were grilled on capitol hill today. ainsley: they were. founder evers of amazon, facebook and google how they use

their powerful and if they are conservative voices. pete: griff jenkins is d.c. where president trump is promising new action on big tech. griff, good morning. griff: good morning, pete, brian and ainsley. far cry from tuesday's barr hearing where there was partisan rancor in the judiciary committee. yesterday bipartisan hostility toward those tech giants that view the companies as too big, too powerful, stifling competition and in some cases directly stifling conservative voices. listen. >> i will just cut to the chase. big tech is out to get conservatives. that's not a suspicion. that's not a hunch. that's 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. >> ranking member jordan going after google's ceo asking him to commit to not help joe biden in november. >> it's against our core values.

>> but did you it in 2016. in spite of the fact that you it in '16 president trump won. i want to make sure you are not going to do it again in 2020. >> have you my commitment. griff: antitrust scrutiny bezos he uses stellar data to launch competition. bezos struggled to answer the question as well. >> i can't answer that question yes or no. we have a policy against using stellar data to enable our business. i can't guarantee you that that policy has never been violated. griff: all of this a part of a 13 month long investigation into the company's practices meanwhile president trump weigheweighed in tweeting this g if congress doesn't bring fairness to big tech, which they should have done years ago, i will do it myself with executive

orders. in washington it has been all talk and no action for years. and the people of our country are sick and tired of it. as for actions taken, maybe we will suggestions out of this committee's final report coming in the next few months. they can't actually take action to break any of these companies up but, indeed, an important hearing yesterday. pete, ainsley, brian. brian: good job, griff. google had to defend the indefensible and that's not going to continue with cloud contract with the defense department, amazon had to defend the fact that they are dominating retail. they have 38%. facebook had to push back that they buy up all their competitors but they do and the bias on apple by with their apple store not letting new programmers get in there meanwhile, if people -- and ainsley was talking about this earlier what happened with twitter. while they were busy. they had their executives over in israel addressing their congress about bias. they said, listen, you have the president of the united states, you ban him, but because you think some of the things that they say incite violence. have you read what the

israeli -- committee, the iranian supreme leaders has been saying? listen to how they rationalize their banning and nonbanking. have you recently started flagging the tweets of president obama. why have you not tweets of khomeini. >> we have approach leaders interactions with fellow public figures, comments on political issues of the day or foreign policy saber rat ling on military economic injuries are generally not in violation. >> genocide is okay but politics is not? just so we understand. i want to fine tune the question. calling for genocide on twitter is okay but commenting on political situations in certain countries is not okay? >> if the word meter violates our rules but a clear interest in keeping that up on the service we may place behind that provide more context. ainsley: who is this guy i love him. you flag president trump but you

don't flag iran's ayatollah? they yell death to america, wipe israel off of the map, they are not flagged but the president of this country is flagged because he is defending federal agents, you know, guard ago courthouse or whatever it is. they brought up good questions and jim jordan yesterday really went to battle with those leaders the ceos of all of these big tech companies because he gave countless examples. i mean, one right after another of you who big tech is going after conservatives. pete: twitter is the biggest violater and. ainsley: and they weren't there. pete: forced to answer this question no better contrast. the leader of a free world leading a free country has political opinions and you censor those. supreme leader of iran who seeks destruction of an entire country talks about genocide. brian: it's just rhetoric. pete: yeah. these companies are made up of people and we know where they're located in silicon valley and political views of those people

and talk about hate speech and whatever they don't like is hate speech and it just so happens to be conservatives and trump supporters every time. but they wipe it away and say nope, it's the algorithm, sorry about that. brian: just like google. i'm not going to work with the defense department in the u.s. or. when asked about it with china whine, no i'm not. really? pete: unbelievable. double standards abounds. we have headlines. jillian mele has them covered. jillian: good morning. fox news alert now. a major break through for the search of a vaccine. johnson and johnson just revealing its vaccine protects monkeys after just one dose. they are kicking off human trials today. covid-19 deaths now top 150,000 in the u.s. and more than 4.4 million cases. seven states reporting a record number of deaths in a single day. dr. anthony fauci now recommending wearing goggles or eye shields to prevent catching the virus. meanwhile congressman louie government says is he asymptomatic after testing positive and will start taking

hydroxychloroquine for treatment. dr. deborah birx, the white house coronavirus response coordinator will join "fox & friends" live in the next hour. a scene from hell. that is how this fiery and horrific train derailment is being described on an arizona bridge. look at these images. black smoke seen billowing from the 8 to 10 cars on fire. part of the bridge collapsed. the train was hauling chemical, lumber and other materials. several agencies have investigating the cause including the ntsb. no serious injuries were reported. seattle city council getting an ear full overnight over plans to defund the police. proposal cut the budget by 50%. three hour hearing. many of them were not happy. >> defounding spd radical experiment. >> i don't want less officers. more officers able to respond. i already called are seven minutes or less. we don't live in utopia.

>> council is set to vote on the plan early next month. and how about this? seven time cma entertainerrer of the year garth brooks says enough is enough. country legend pulling himself out of the running for the award after getting backlash for winning last year. >> there was one tweet in there that really stuck in my head that said hey, man, this guy why doesn't he step down? and just have the entertainer for the next generation? 100 percent agreed. it's time for somebody else hold that award. jillian: this year's nominees haven't been announced yet. the ceremony will be held in november. what do you guys think? bribe, brian, i look at things like sports if you want to be the best you have gout to beat the best. brian: all subjective. there is no final score. ainsley: giving someone else a shot. nice guy. he has already won. brian: i hate winning all the time. people so jealous. pete: is he tired.

straight ahead on a much different note. chicago mayor lori lightfoot has this explanation for the gun violence in her city. brian: our gun problems is related to the fact that we have too many illegal guns on our street, 60% of which, 60% of which come from states outside of illinois. brian: gangs wouldn't use them if they just weren't laying in the streets. tammy bruce says the city's police policies are to blame for chicago's carnage. she expand on that next. granted. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

>> our gun problem is related to the fact that we have too many illegal guns on our street. 60% of which, 60% of which come from states outside of illinois. we are being inundated with guns

from states that have virtually no gun control. no background checks no. ban on assault weapons. that hurting cities like chicago. pete: chicago mayor lori lightfoot deflecting blame for the gun violence wrecking her city. next guest says democrats should blame their own gun control and anti-police policies. here to explain fox news contributor. tammy bruce. >> good morning, pete. pete: ultimately the buck stops with the mayor she doesn't want to take responsibility pointing fingers at other states. hemi out with that. >> democrats in general don't. she indicts herself with that comment. the fact of the matter is, if guns are so freely available everywhere else, why is chicago the blood bath dystopia health gate? have you got to look at policy. this is not availability of firearms. if firearms have available throughout this nation. the violence in chicago, pete,

is extraordinary. and the first half of this year matched in shootings the most violent year in 20 years with 329 homicides just up until now. and we're only halfway through the year. but democrats do this. whether she is trying to -- it's a deflection. she doesn't want to look at the fact. former chief told fox news a few weeks ago that this is about policy that was building and a lack of confidence in being able to support the police. so it's anti-police rhetoric, sanctuary cities, which these liberal cities also, of course are. and that sends a message that you can be, you know, you know, be wanted, be committing a crime. and, of course, as we know, pete, the city is the -- the communities that are affected first by. this are communities of color. so they are condemning communities of color to lives of violence while virtue signaling to their other democrat political friends. i mean, this is an abandonment

of the entire community but particularly communities of color. pete: tammy, why can't they see that? if you have got law-abiding citizen who can't defend themselves because of gun control measures inside the city. then have you got police whose hands have been tied and they ultimately don't feel like leadership has their back. and then leadership is taking a knee with protests. you add that all up. what does it say to the criminals there? >> well, first of all, they do see it. leadership know what is they are doing. which is why they are deflecting. if they really care they would say oh my gosh, our policies we need to change our policies like we would personally. it exposes the fact that they know and that they don't care. we see it in chicago. in new york. my god, new york is -- it is its own hell escape. los angeles, portland, seattle, we see tall. the biggest problem is the individuals know, the democrats know, and now we have to be honest is it that they wants this chaos because they believe

it gives them benefits politically? that people give up more power when they feel that they are under threat and all the people in these urban areas. regardless of your complex, when you have got to start voting for alternatives because things are not getting better because democrats, i would argue, don't want them to. pete: alternative, taking it head on whether it's family breakdown or failed schools or lack of opportunities at large gang violence. big things that would take a lot of political courage to stare down and easier to point fingers. tammy bruce, thank you so much for your time this morning. >> thank you, pete. pete: big tech backlash. conservativeis he satisfied wite heard? he joins us on that next. from prom dresses...

>> really unbelievable. biggest names in big tech. biggest companies in the world grilled by lawmakers from both sides of the aisle over unchecked power and influence. >> i will cut to the case big tech is out to get conservatives. >> we don't want to have any bias in what we do. >> why does google steal content from businesses. >> with respect i disagree. >> do they a have access about third party products and businesses. >> it's a voluntary policy. >> does apple not treat all app. developers equally? >> sir, we treat every developer the same we have open and

transparent rules. brian: dominant here to react ben domenech. what is your take away from yesterday. all of those issues are legitimate. i don't know what comes out of it. >> i think what comes out of it for me is i think republican politicians who have very long been defenders of capitalism and frankly big business are starting to recognize that this bias that they hear complaints about from all of their constituents and from a lot of conservatives is just a feature of the monopoly power of places like google. i was impressed by the questions that were asked yesterday. frankly think we should have five hours with each of these ceos individually considering the kind of market power that they have. i was particularly incensed by kelly armstrong who got out of google an admission that are not just interested in controlling all of the ad spaces they do right now. they are interested in driving others out of the ad market so that they have total control to demonetize sites and they deem fit. that's something that i think we

should be very concerned about going forward. brian: look at facebook we found a memo dated that buying up all our enemies. taking instagram and what's app. wipe out or buy my enemies that might be something they teach new business school but does it help the country. i'm brought to this statement by mark warner. he says we have seen 40% decline in start-ups in america and venture backed deals because these companies have so much control. how -- i mean, that's not a partisan issue. >> if shouldn't be. and one thing that i do think that we should keep in mind is that only business business can afford big government. only these big dominant players can afford to deal with the kind of regulatory pressure that is brought to bear whenever we engage in these types of big government expansion. it's the small people, the competitors that get crushed by it. brian: amazon says yeah you have a product i will knock it off and sell it cheaper. oops. well, wait a second, what are you talking about.

all right. so let's talk about something that matters for november 3rd. and that is the suppression of conservative thought. breitbart claims that they have lost 99.7% in visible since 2016. stories that used to trend on their algorithm don't trend anymore. daily caller has the same complaints. and you don't see much from fox news on there. the sites that give you a diversity of opinion. have you noticed at the federalist? >> well, i actually would say that we have escaped some of this. so maybe that says we need to be a little bit more leaning into things. but, to come honest. looking at the situation it's clear the data shows that what they are claim something true: they had a huge dropoff. we are talking about stories that they were breaking at the daily caller, for instance that would get nationwide attention and, yet, they wouldn't be on the first, second or even the third page of search for it. this is clearly something that looks like from the outside it was someone inside turning a knob, pulling a switch that

prevented these sites from having any kind of organic traffic that they had already earned. that's something that is totally opposed to what people think that they are getting from google search products and i think it absolutely represents an attempt to influence the conversation during an election. brian: ben, here is what google said there is no validity to allegation of political bias. they don't take ideology into account. go to extraordinary lengths to build our products for everyone in a apolitical way. anyone can easily cherry pick a range of conservative progressive or nonpolitical sites that have seen traffic changes over time. what can change. >> i a number of things change. funny to see jeff bezos admit the other day that the standards of something like the southern poverty law center which call ben carson an extremist may be not that good. we have to turn to somebody for fact-checking. maybe turn to somebody who says that ben carson isn't an

extremist. this is a situation that i think requires a really holistic change on the part of these companies. again the bias aspect of this is just one attribute of their outsized monthly power that they are exercising. that's the real issue that needs to be addressed and addressed with updated approaches how we do this in an era that requires it given the dramatic amount of change that these companies have affected on america. brian: i'm proud they are american companies. i don't want them to destroy america in the process. is that too much to ask? >> absolutely. brian: we finally is republicans and democrats on the same page. hopefully we will take action. ben, thanks so much. >> great to be with you. brian bine we have been telling you about homelessness and drug use spiraling out of control. lawrence jones what he does check it out himself. >> three months. since the shutdown they have been here every single day. >> they just shoot up. >> shoot up. >> what do the leaders do. >> nobody, nothing.

>> pete: we have been telling you and showing you drug use spiraling out of control here in new york city. brian: next guest went to investigate a shocking of abuse of drug use in daylight right here in manhattan. >> three months they have been here. sings the shutdown here every single day. >> just shoot up in the open. >> shoot up. >> what do the leaders do as a result? >> nobody, nothing. >> what do you think about new york being compared to san francisco and skid row? >> it's getting there. >> it's getting there. >> absolutely. >> who do you blame for all of this. >> the mayor. >> mayor? de blasio? he is responsible? >> absolutely. ainsley: here with more of his findings fox news analyst lawrence jones. hey, lawrence. >> hey there, family. how are you doing? ainsley: we are good. we are all nervous about what direction our city is moving. in i saw yesterday -- was it yesterday or the day before. front page cover of the "new

york post" with someone shooting up in midtown of times square. >> yeah, it's interesting. because as you guys know i have been in san francisco, skid row, reporting on this crisis that's happening in america. and now new york is the next phase of that, and what's interesting about the city is as soon as that hit the front page. yesterday they scrambled to go and try to clean up from all of the mess that not only the homeless made but these druggies made. but they forgot some of the evidence. you had the caps, all these orange caps all over that area. you have the baggies where they separated the drugs still in the area. and then we actually saw some people shooting up right in front of us. so, again, they can kind of scramble to clean up the stuff. but some of the evidence is still there. and many of the businesses that are there are saying that these people are running off their customers. what's interesting about all of

this is this is times square area like this is where people that love new york and come to visit they come to this area. pete: lawrence people are long memories will recognize that that's the way it was in times square until it was cleaned up. those pictures we are showing are of that evidence. another part of this, lawrence, in midtown and in cities across america is local homeless people being put in neighborhood hotels. you asked people about that. here is some of it. >> are you concerned? >> i'm a bit concerned, especially as a woman at night because i work at night and i come home late and just during the day i just saw one guy help another totally out of it guy across the street. must have been drugs. the whole dynamics of the community have changed. >> i have been living here since the early 1980s, and i have seen some drug deals go down. but i don't want those days to come back. pete: the citizens, the businesses around those hotels, what's the impact you saw?

they have to hire security now. four star hotel they put these people. in wanted to make it very clear they are not anti-helping the homeless. a lot of them donate to organization to get that done. they want involved in this process put these people in these hotels and starting to effects the bills. they are regular homeless people. people with drug addictions that are shooting up outside of the hotel they come out naked sometimes. they scare off their customers. and so there is a real business -- if you look at this sign right here. that's actually on the screen. they have all of these listings around the city telling people to go to this hotel. one of the residents actually wrote on there and said we didn't ask for this they were shocked. local city council woman saying she didn't know about it. the city approved this so she

knew something about it. >> unbelievable that they would make these hotels shelters without permission. that's the brainchild of this brainless mayor pretty lays as well you were all back here in the 19 will 0s, they tried to get rid of the drug addiction problem in that community. they worked very hard and some of those residents were there during that period of time to invite them right backed into the communities seems counter productive. again, they didn't get these people's input. there is plenty of schools and parks around this area. and now the kids walking home have to see this. kind of unacceptable. brian: kind of? totally unacceptable. got to stop it but no one cares enough to stop it. ainsley: they love everyone and they love the homeless individuals as much as they love their neighbor next door but we want everyone to stay safe.

pete: policiepolicies have consequences. lawrence jones thanks for bringing it to you us on the screen. ainsley: you can watch one nation on fox nation. can you get a free copy of sean hannity's new book "live free or die" for signing up for fox nation two year plan. toss it over to janis. is it a tropical depression storm? what is it called? >> it's a storm isaias is the name. the i named storm. ninth named storm and the earliest ninth named storm on record. 60 mile-per-hour success stangsd wind. it got its name last night. it's about to go over hispaniola and we have mountainous terrain there the center could be disrupted as it continues to make its way towards th bahamas, depending how much warm water it travels through means is it going to be a tropical storm or a hurricane as it comes closer to florida and the east coast this weekend and early next week. so there sat track. we get new information at 8:00

a.m. but, as you can see moving through the bahamas a very strong tropical storm and it kind of hugs the coast right now. the east coast of florida all the way up towards the outer banks and eventually towards the northeast on tuesday. but, still, that cone of uncertainty is quite wide as we go further out in time. a little less confidence in the track. all along the east coast you need to be paying close attention to this system and this is the gfs model and it really weakens the storm which is what we are hoping for. the bottom line is we have to see what kind of shape it is after it gets across hispaniola over the next 12 to 24 hours. we will keep you up to date. pete, brian and ainsley back to you. pete: thank you, janis, we appreciate it. toss it over to jillian mele for a few headlines. >> start with this. the couple facing felony charges for displaying guns during a protest is filing suit. mark and patricia mccloskey are trying to disqualify circuit

attorney kim gardner. they say her re-election campaign is influencing the case against them and she is fund raising off of it. the mccloskey armed themselves as protesters marched past their home last month. intense body camera video showing the moment two police officers save a 3-year-old girl's life after she is found floating in a pool. we do want to warm you this may be hard to watch. >> oh my god. oh. >> i think i got a pulls. i think i have got a pulse. get her on her side. there you go, come on. >> she is breathing? >> yeah. >> oh my goodness. officers in florida jumping in to action. giving chest compressions until she starts breathing again. doctors say if she went any longer without oxygen, she wouldn't have made it. the girl has made a full recovery. wow, that gives you chills. some nfl players could be fined for going to church among other

activities. nbc sports is banning players from attending services above 25% capacity. it's part of the agreement on covid-19 safety reached between the nfl and players union last week. it's not clear exactly how the league will enforce that rule. that's a look at your headlines. i will send it back to you. brain bribe all right, jillian, great stories. a live look now at cape canaveral. look at this. we are moments away from lift off. nasa zaps perseverance rover is ready to launch to mars. you will see that next. hurry up with the pillow commercial. now, simparica trio simplifies protection.

ticks and fleas? see ya! heartworm disease? no way! simparica trio is the first chewable that delivers all this protection. and simparica trio is demonstrated safe for puppies. it's simple: go with simparica trio. this drug class has been associated with neurologic adverse reactions, including seizures; use with caution in dogs with a history of these disorders. protect him with all your heart. simparica trio.

ainsley: this is a fox news alert. we are just moments away from liftoff. pete: a live look right now in cape canaveral where nsa's rover. brian: take the play by play. go out to phil keating live at the kennedy space center with the mission to the red planet get there by february right now it's a beautiful july day. >> it's a perfect weather day no. issues with that at all. everything is looking for a go in just about 30 seconds from now. mars 2020. it is the fifth latest and greatest mars rover ever sent to the red planet. $2.5 billion admission. big picture it, lays the groundwork for getting astronauts onto the red soil and planting that u.s. flag.

looking live at the powerful atlas rocket. the rover is on top and packing all kinds of never before tricks sent to mars from earth. the rover itself is a little bigger than a go-cart but packing serious scientific heat. it's going to have two really cool cameras and a microphone. and here goes blastoff any moment now. supposed to go right now but it has not. so let me continue here. there it goes. take a look at that it's going to be taking up a microphone. so for the first time ever you will be actually able to hear what it's like to be on the red planet. it's going to land on the [inaudible] took four previous flights. ainsley: it's so loud we can barely hear phil. brian: i don't know if you can hear us. what's going to be extraordinary

about this is we are going to be joined by the uae and china going to be putting probes there. we should get there first and it's the first mission that is explicitly looking for life, present or past. ainsley: they are going to excavate samples and leave them on mars so that one day when we return we can bring those samples back to earth and study them and learn more about mars, possibly life on mars, brian. pete: you have to know whether can you sustain life there if the goal is eventually to bring americans, human beings there and, you know, the previous generation watched the space races with the soviets understanding the technological but also military implications of that showdown. here we are with the communist chinese as you pointed out, brian, effectively stealing and replicating our design, trying to beat us there. you know, it will be who can plant their flag first. we may be years away from that. steps like this is a big one.

ainsley: did you see the american flag on the side of this mars rover? it was a nasa symbol. then there was the american flag i saw. and then the atlas symbol. it's nice to see an american flag and nasa with this launch today. brian: so, phil, i don't know if you can hear us now. it sounded so loud there on liftoff. right? >> that's the best part about covering all these space rocket launches from nasa and spacex and boeing. so thunderous huge percussion as it gets up into the sky. i couldn't hear it was so loud whether you guys mentioned the fact that this is taking up for the very first time ever a small helicopter. it's kind of like a drone. it's pour pounds. but it's got five planned flights. never before has a rotary air crafted flown on another planet. it's going to basically scout out and look for places to land and also look for new discoveries on the red planet. seven month mission.

brian: seeing video on the split screen. they say it will be the first time we will have ears there we will be able to hear what's going on. so, you know, maybe if we do find life, we will find out if any music is playing. [laughter] >> also, very importantly, there is a scientific instrument on board called the moxie. and it's going to convert carbon dioxide which is the majority of the atmosphere on mars into oxygen. if everything goes well, that will be some good evidence for having some life sustainability for future astronauts in the 2030s. brian: the word is they want to let spacex and private industry to go to the moon and let nasa focus on going to mars. not just get there and arrive with food. find a way to grow their own food. and not depend on, i know it sounds strange, not depend on earth to live. this would be an important step. i kind of like that the chinese are doing. this they are forcing us to compete again because no one has been forcing us to do that. >> and right before the chinese

launched the week before, the united arab emirates launched from a launch pad in japan. that is the first arab country to ever get into the space race. ainsley: phil, sorry, pete. so, phil, i'm reading that it's going to take seven months. they know it's going to land on february 18th, 2021. isn't that interesting. the reason everybody is launching right now in the two weeks mars and earth are at their closest point every 26 months. now's the time if you don't launch around right now, you have to wait another two years basically because of time and fuel. pete: phil, to ainsley's point, if it's a seven month trip you can't bring enough oxygen and enough water and food. you have got to be able to sustain it there. is that -- is that the overall effort of this find water, create oxygen, as you pointed out, and so ultimately you can take those next steps?

>> exactly right. and also the likely plan, the likely scenario for not only when we go to mars which is planned for 2024, i mean, the moon, and then eventually to mars is to preposition a bunch of supply craft that would land first before these humans get there so they have water and food and supplies and then eventually if they are going to actually live there like matt day monday in the movies they will have to have a greenhouse and grow lots of produce. brian: they always consult with space agencies to see the patrol car particular cattle. when you look at those movies don't look at them as necessarily pure fiction. the rover has 23 cram was as well there. and it mission is going to be a mission is extremely important. i get the sense, bill, you know this because you live it. i think the american people are much more zonsd in now. they were pumped up by spacex. they are getting intrigued again by this journey. we got bored with it for while. i don't sense that anymore.

there is a bounce in the step of those working at cape canaveral, don't you sense it. >> i think you are absolutely right. we'll felt it here two months ago when the two astronauts blasted off. sunday they are supposed to splash down for the first time ever off the coast of florida. we will be here. pete: take as big mission to motivate people and mars is that big one. ainsley: mars roman god of war. red planet. fourth planet from the sun. second smallest and mercury is the smallest. all right. still ahead. donald trump jr. and dr. deborah birx. stay with us. ♪ ♪ ♪ for bathroom odors that linger try febreze small spaces. just press firmly and it continuously eliminates odors in the air and on soft surfaces.

still very exciting and amazing to think that our scientists at nasa can actually pull this off. it reminds us of our childhood, remember, in schools, every tv in this classrooms were turned on, everyone watched. pete: when we send people to the moon 50 years ago, whatever it was, there's more technology in the iphone, it's amazing what we've done. ainsley: 8:02, rover is heading to mars. pete: speaking of iphones, heads of amazon, apple, google answering questions about how they used their power and if they are censoring conservative voices. brian: griff jensive where president trump is threatening if congress doesn't do anything and they never do anything. griff: that's right, good morning. something that you hardly see in

washington. they see them as too big, too power, david seciliny issued to the titans. >> listen. >> our founders would not bow for a economy nor should we bow for ranking economy. >> i will just cut to the chase, big tech is out to get conservatives, that's not a suspicion, that's not a hunt that's a fact. griff: and jordan pressured google ceo to commit to not helping joe biden win in november. >> it's against our core values. >> but you did it in 2016, despite of the fact that you did it in 2016 president trump won. i just want to make sure that you're not going to do it in 2020. >> you have my commitment.

griff: all this part of 13-month investigation. president trump putting tweet out if congress doesn't bring fairness to big tech i will do it myself with executive orders. in washington it's all been all talk and no action for years and the people of our country are sick and tired of it. the committee issues report in the coming months, it's unclear, though, what the president may issue in terms of eo whether it's antitrust driven or whether it would help conservative voices which have been clearly targeted in recent months. brian, pete, ainsley. ainsley: all right, thank you so much, griff. let's bring in donald trump, jr., executive vice president of trump organization and president trump's son, good morning to you, don. >> don: good morning, how are you? ainsley: good morning, you posted the hydroxychloroquine video and your account was suspended. what's your reaction to what happened yesterday with big-tech

ceo's? >> don: listen, there's no question there's bias. ainsley, if you're religious, if your pro-life, prosecond amendment, you watch your metrics and you watch them get destroyed, conservatives and people who believe in conservative values have been targeted by these people who have no problem allowing a platform of free speech to the iatola, to communist china, people who are committing genocide. that's not a problem but i post a video that's just an alternate thought, different viewpoint by actual doctors, doctors, not some cooks and that was spreading misinformation but when the chinese government literally spread disinformation about coronavirus, they -- they literally said, twitter said that's not a violation of their rules. the chinese government spreading disinformation is not a violation of their rules but me

saying, hey, this is interesting, it's very different than the narrative that they've been cramming down our throats, maybe you should watch it and make up your own minds, that was enough to get thrown off the platform. pete: twitter tells us they're an american company, don, you mentioned china and you also briefly mentioned iran. twitter didn't have time to go to capitol hill. they knew they would get the most scrutiny of any organization, but a representative for twitter did tell israeli congress that iran supreme leader is not in violation of twitter rules, but your father, the president is, take a listen to this. >> you have recently started flagging for tweets of president trump and why have you not flagged tweets of iatola -- >> we have approach to our leaders that say that direct directions with public figures, political issues of the day or foreign policy on military economic issues are generally not in violation.

>> genocide is okay however politics is not just so we understand? calling for genocide on twitter is okay but commenting on political situations in certain countries is not okay? >> if the world leader violates our rules but clear in in service we we will get more cont -- >> pete: it's blame america first and the rest of the world gets a pass. >> don: it's truly disgusting. you don't have to be a genius to see it. every time i push a button i know what it's going to do. i know this stuff. my numbers, retweets, likes, they are cut in half in third compared to what i was doing six months ago. you see this is a ramp up for the election, you hear a response. there's a word for what the people are full of and i just can't say it on the air and it's

time toned it. republicans have to wake up also because they are not even aware most of the time. the staffers are online doing these things. the average republican in congress has no idea what is happening on the platforms and say they don't realize a what's going on and b, how importants if for their base who is being totally suppressed, free speech wiped away while the companies get a lot of protections from the government and that's the key. if that are getting the liability protections, the companies are getting probably equivalent of billions of dollars of protections from lawsuits, from this, then they can't act as publishers and decide what the american people will see based on their opinions. brian: see, don, there's two things. i believe both democrats and republicans are alarmed for different reasons of the behemoths that were there yesterday but there needs to be action before november third, it's no good to rant to people to understand what you're going through somehow they have to get

into their algorithm and change things meanwhile the president has fight for texas, pretty close, loses texas, republicans will not win for a generation and there he was tapping into exactly what fuels texas and that's oil and gas. he believes that if joe biden is elected president and will go back to paris accord and eventually fracking is gone although joe biden says fracking is fine with me. who are we to believe? >> don: well, it's not what he said in the past first and foremost, but if you look at sort of the green new deal in another name only, joe biden on his website is basically saying, hey, we are all clean air, getting rid of fossil fuel and doing this in the next few years, i think by 2030 that all of the stuff was gone. that would destroy the economy in texas, oklahoma, pennsylvania, ohio, there's numerous states that are getting the benefits of being able to do this and as americans the reality is we are still going to

be reliant on the natural resources from other countries. why not do it better, cleaner, more environmentally friendly while employing americans, putting them to work, generating something for the economy? this is the notion of what donald trump did over the last four years. cut the nonsense regulations, did things responsibly, allowed the freed markets to work and that's why you had the greatest economy in the history of modern america, because of those policies. joe biden doesn't know where he is 50% of the time, joe biden is a puppet of the left and you can see with biden-sanders joint unity manifesto plan. they will send america into dark ages. ainsley: you wrote op-ed, biden wouldn't reduce rioting and crime, he's controlled by for left-wing puppet masters, it doesn't matter what his opinions are, he's controlled by the other people, by the progressives in the party and he

will do whatever they ask him to do? >> don: 100%. listen, you see the videos of him, he can't get to a podium. he can't answer a question with ten people. you you would think if you were a dc swamp creature you would be able to talk with a group of people without tale -- teleprompter. the media will run him as moderate. these are on his websites, by far most radical agenda in modern history. it's not even questioned. it's on his website. the media will try to run him as moderate to people who may be watching this station and others an then they are going to let him run as a radical to those who have lost their minds in america. the reality is he hasn't come out against defund the police. he's all for integration of the suburbs with the big cities so that you have, you know, high volume zoning that would destroy

the american suburbs. these are not things that we think he's going to do, ainsley, these are things that are literally on his website and that's just the beginning of it. free health care for illegal immigrants. free. i'd love that myself. i'd love free health care but i pay for it, okay, free housing for criminals coming out of prison, it seems like incentive to create crime. the list goes on and on. it's insanity but, again, the media will do what the big-tech companies are trying to do. they will try to cover, they will try to shave off some of the message so it's not getting out there so it doesn't have the same efficacy and they are all in this together working for the democrats. it's not even pretend anymore. they are just doing it. brian: yeah, you saw a bit of a campaign, looked like campaign yesterday but everything is going to be so different than any campaign that we've seen, so we will see where this goes because the president has to get some way to get joe biden out of his basement regularly and maybe

that's closing the gap in the polls. ainsley: can i ask about that, how are they going to handle the debates? >> don: he does better when america doesn't see him, when america doesn't see him forget where he is every other time, where america doesn't see him forget who his wife and who is his sister, forget the office that he's running for, need someone to guide him through a crowd, cut him off in an interview. joe biden, this is his dream and the democrats' dream because you can cover up who joe biden is. i actually, you know, when i started looking at it at the beginning of quarantine, i had four months, i wrote a second book about it called liberal privilege because if you look at history of joe biden what you see there is not what you're being sold today and that's the hypocrisy of the media and the left. it's absolutely disgusting and people really have to inform themselves before november. pete: yes, this would be a contrast election no doubt. don, jr., appreciate it. >> thank you, guys.

pete: congresswoman, is a red line, something that must be in the bill from your perspective. congresswoman: it's not just for businesses it's for colleges an universities. any places of work. we want to make sure that businesses or colleges and universities that are acting in good faith to protect the students, their employees, their workforce, they are protected from endless lawsuits so liability protection is an important provision and i'm hearing that from small businesses in my district who are working very hard investing in ppe and investing in additional cleaning supplies, we need to make sure they are protected from lawsuits. pete: it's not your district but it's new york state, governor cuomo announced he's launching an investigation into a conquer that -- concert that happened in the hamptons where it appears social distance did not happen, i have to ask he'll be launching investigations into say protests or riots that have happened in

new york city black lives matter protests, are we looking at a double standard at work here? congresswoman: height of hypocrisy. only investigation that we need to focus on like a laser is the investigation of governor cuomo's failed nursing home policies. we lost thousands and thousands of beloved seniors. i have talked with constituents who have lost or both elderly parents. governor cuomo is to quick to point fingers and launch investigations into new yorkers. he needs to ensure that we have independent investigation into his failed policy when it comes to protecting our seniors in nursing homes. pete: absolutely. our own janice dean had two parents in that very situation. congresswoman elise stefanik, thank you very much for your time. good luck with the bill. congresswoman: thank you. pete: be ware at the beach, shark sightings. what you need to know before you head into the water.

brian: grocery stores are driving, some despite pandemic. one of them is grocer aldi, that's where jeff flock is from

sister network fox business. jeff, can you feel the buzz in the air? jeff: oh, baby, america's newest grocery store. the balloons are out and open in about 3 hours. if you have not heard of aldi, german companies, they were brothers, they split off, one of them owns trader joe's. if you don't know aldi you may soon. they are expanding their stores now in part because of the pandemic, take a look at online grocery shopping over the course of the past year. last august online sales were just $1.2 billion, that sounds good but by april 5 plus billion dollars and it's still increasing even though people have been going back to stores for up to $7 billion. there's a grocery war, struggle for the heart and soul of the american consumer right now between kroger which is the nation's biggest stand-alone grocery store and wal-mart that

sells more groceries than anybody else and sell more stuff too. aldi a big player, they have plan to expand 1300 of stores or remodel them, add another 700 stores in the u.s. and become the second largest grocer in the year by the year 2022. we will be live in fox business and you have to come in here and put a quarter in to get a cart, but then you bring the cart back, they give you your quarterback, why, because nobody -- no cart guy has to go police the cars. that's one of the reasons you get a good bargain. brian: genius, you don't want to lose a quarter. big opening. hey, ainsley. ainsley: you know what we call the shopping carts in the south? buggies. shark sightings in massachusetts, new york and new jersey and even cape cod, including 10

-foot great white. in maine a woman swimming with her daughter and killed by a great white shark in the state's first fatality in history and the other one was out in california. here to discuss director of shark conservation lab at florida tech toby. thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me. ainsley: selfishly we say we don't care about creatures but why are they important to ecosystem? >> they are crucial to ocean ecosystem. as predators apex predators they are at the top to have food chain and it's really their job to help weed out the sick and unhealthy members of all the other levels to have food web so that they can be healthier and flourish. ainsley: i've heard and i don't know that this is true that they

eat seals and if the sharks weren't around the seals would eat lobsters and things americans enjoy and would affect food chain. >> exactly, that's happening all over the ocean wherever predators are taken out of the food web, the ocean really suffers, so fish, seals, all of the things that we really rely on as humans in our ocean. ainsley: what do we need to know because i'm reading that the great white sharks in new england grown over the last two decades as a result of conservation. i know a lot of the sharks are being tagged. if we are beach goers, what do we need to know to keep our families safe? >> well, first of all, you should know that shark attack is incredibly rare and even shark fatalities are more rare, so there are only about four on average fatalities throughout the entire world in an average year and fewer than 5% of all

shark attacks are actually fatal, so don't let sharks keep you from getting in the water. you're not very likely to be attacked, in fact, if you see a shark it means that the environment that you're in is healthy. ainsley: what do we do if we are in the water and we are one of the rare individuals that the shark is coming for you, what do you do? do you poke them in the eye, we heard different things? >> well, sharks are opportunistic, they -- their normal prey has spikes an claws and sharks are careful and long-lived creatures. they would rather scavage something dead than go after something live that can hurt them. the best thing to do if you see a shark is just to relax, be mellow, don't splash around and don't start screaming, don't act like bait because they are not out to eat you. ainsley: all right. stay calm if you see a shark. toby, thank you so much for being with us.

ainsley: back with fox news alert, major breakthrough in search for covid-19 vaccine. pete: johnson & johnson revealing overnight it protects monkeys after one doze, human trials of that vaccine begin today as covid-19-related deaths now top 150,000 in the u.s. brian: wow, now more than 4.4 million cases, 7 states reporting record high number of deaths in a single day, let's bring in dr. deborah birx, white house coronavirus response coordinator. dr. birx, always great to see you. the word is that you say i'm worried about the south but i'm

really worried about the midwest, where? doctor: so just to remind everyone across the south still a very serious pandemic although they are starting to see the glimmers of hope of improvement and we really want to thank governors and mayor who is have worked hard with their populations to ensure everyone was wearing masks, decreasing social gatherings, decreasing in places like bars an decreasing parties at home where you can't social distant. now we see the virus probably because of vacations and other reasons of travel moving up into kentucky, tennessee, southern ohio, missouri, iowa, kansas, nebraska and, of course, we continue to have problems across the west coast, washington, oregon, california, idaho and utah and now increases in colorado. so these are the states that we call yellow states. we believe the governors and mayors of every locality right now would mandate masks for

their communities and every american would wear a mask and socially distance and not congregate in large settings where you can't socially distance or wear a mask. we can really get control of the virus and drive down cases as arizona has done. ainsley: dr. birx, this is exciting news with johnson & johnson giving drug to vaccine on monkeys and works on first try, what do you know about this and what more can you tell us? doctor: the exciting thing about johnson & johnson vaccine, trials from moderna and pfizer, the johnson & johnson, all to have vaccines were built on what we call known technology or known vectors so we knew the safety to begin with. the johnson & johnson vaccine is exciting because it's a single dose. to show protection in monkeys does shorten the time period for development because you read out becomes 30 days quicker.

pete: doctor, your colleague dr. fauci suggested recently that googles would work even better or in addition to, you're talking about masks, people have come around to the reality of that, are we going to look at more demands based on what dr. fauci has said? doctor: i have seen great face shields and i've seen them around the country. i've been out to 14 states. the administration sent me out to hot spots an yellow states to deliver specific messages about how to improve and prevention spread in their communities and i've gotten to see a lot of exciting face masks out there and face masks that cover from the bottom up and i think that's really -- i think people, the american people are innovative. those are actually pretty easy and straightforward to make. many universities and those who have printers are making face shields now. the 3d printers can increase production and i think others are making them and they are going to be decorated.

pete: doctor, no one is interested in decorations, i want to know face shield or goggles is something that we will hear next? is this something that will become the new guidelines? doctor: the mask is to protect others, it's to block those droplets and block that contamination that happens when you speak or sing or talk or even breathe. the thing about the face shields we think that that could protect the individuals and that it would decrease the ability for them to touch their eyes and spread virus as well as the droplets coming towards them. so there are two different technologies for two different reasons. brian: unbelievable because we heard the masks not only protect people from you but your protection so don't wear a mask, wear a mask and now it can help you if it's spread and now it can help you block and now you're saying wear goggles.

it's unbelievable. all right. let's get kids back to school. do you believe from what you know even in the hottest spot there's a way to get kids back to school safely being that their transmission is so low, the chances of them getting it is so small? doctor: first, let's go back to the two statistics, one, we know from examples around the country that children do get infected. what we do know they do better by in large. the question about whether they are less transmit the virus less still open debate. we have one study not done in the united states and i think that still is an open question. when you're talking about putting children back in school, the teachers, the grandparents that are home in multigenerational -- brian: we heard from experts saying it's almost impossible for kids to spread this to other kids and adults, you're saying

it's not true at all. doctor: we have one study in south korea that showed precise fact. what i can tell you in the united states do i have an example positive or negative that confirms that study and i think you know with scientists we like to have always more than one study to confirm it. what we do know is children particularly children under 18 get much less sick as well as people under 35. that means also that we call asymptomatic and more likely to spread the virus without them knowing that they have symptoms. what we can do as americans if we want our children back in schools is we can help this country by everybody doing what the president has asked, wear a mask, socially distance, avoid gatherings where you cannot socially distant and wear masks in bars and house parties and this will bring the case numbers very rapidly if we altogether as americans did those few things.

pete: we would love to have ten studies but school is coming. so is the guidance going to be follow protocols and measures but get kids back in school? doctor: cdc has put out guidelines so children can go back to school. i think every school districts around the country and certainly we have multiple school districts where the test positivity is under 2% and we have a whole another set of school districts an counties where it's less than 5% and case counts are extraordinarily low. what we want is the whole country to be able to go back to school and all of those case counts down to what we call the green states and we know that is possible because states have been able to do that and maintain that and that's the evidence-base that we should be talking about. we have evidence now of what works and how to maintain very low case counts. the rest of america needs to follow those guidelines and

bring the rest of us into that green category. ainsley: dr. birx, let's talk about hydroxychloroquine because the president was saying that it has worked for some people. there was the local congresswoman that said it saved her life and then you recently had videos of doctors, i believe in texas, social media sites took down sites because she was saying this could be a cure and has helped every single patient and no one has died because i put them on hydroxychloroquine and z pack, why are they banning it if it works in certain cases? doctor: because science and medicines have always been full of accounts like this and that's why you do randomized clinical trials to actually be able to compare patient to patient. everything that you just reported on had no controls in those individual practices. we know in the randomized control of the trials to date and there's been several of them there's no evidence that it

improves the patients' outcomes, moderate disease or seriously ill in the hospital. medicine always has these reports and that's why we do these randomized control trials. there also may be a specific subgroup that does benefit but we can't see those in the randomized control trials. ainsley: isn't that up to your doctor? what if your doctor says hydroxychloroquine or my doctor remdesivir? doctor: let's separate issues. we did have randomize control on remdesivir. the american can have advantage of receiving remdesivir and can benefit the most. that is moving forward. medical boards decide for their state based on clinical

practices and so i'm assuming that ohio had a very specific reason in order to take this approach. every state has to be able to look at this independently because that's how we are with state driven with those kind of decision-making. pete: all right, dr. deborah birx, thank you very much for your time this morning. we appreciate it. ainsley: thanks, dr. birx. doctor: thank you. pete: let's toss it to janice dean for weather. janice: yes, we are watching tropical storm that's set to move over the dominican republic and possibly lose a little bit of its circulation which would be good news because it would weaken the storm. however, once it moves to bahamas, friday and saturday it's set to strengthen and come close to florida and hug the east coast and the bottom line is we really need to watch this system as it moves over the dominican republic and see what the circulation is like after that. you can see the tropical models and go further out, good

agreement that it moves into the bahamas and there's a chance it doesn't even make a landfall across the east coast because they come so close to florida and southeast and mid atlantic and northeast we have to nonor the it. the rest of the forecast, showers and thunderstorms, maybe flash flooding over parts of central u.s., mississippi, ohio valley, very warm out west with temperatures well over 110-degrees for the southwest. we will keep you up to date. brian, pete and ainsley, back to you. brian: americans coming together to help our heros one start-up at a time. start-up is beginning and fundraising platforms for first responders in need. more on that in a second. first let's check in with sandra smith with what's happening at the top of the hour. sandra: good morning, everyone, 11:00 a.m. eastern time this morning, funeral of civil rights icon john lewis. 3 presidents will be in

attendance including president obama delivering eulogy. secretary of state mike pompeo testifying on capitol hill, we will be monitoring that and war of words between officials and oregon leaders as portland sees another night of unrest. what is next there? senator john kennedy kicking things off for us this morning on where things stand on a coronavirus relief package for the american people. can an agreement be reached this week? join us live from america's news room top of the hour.

brian: america coming together. you want an example, here we go, they are doing it to help our heros. one site has just started called fund the first. verifies each fundraising campaigns make sure donations go to first responders in need. here to tell us all about it the cofounders of fund the first, kevin dorsey is here, chief communication officer and current nypd lieutenant robert garland here, ceo and decorated detective in nypd and michael luna, chief financial officer. robert, let's start with you, why is there a need for this? >> thanks for having me. we created the first and only

verified platform for first responders. if you're familiar with gofundme, there's no true verification or vetting process, so we recognized that and we created a process where first responders can receive help during time of need and know that the money is only going to them, a trusted and secured space. we sponsored with number one verification processor in the united states for our first responders, so we make sure that all of our beneficiaries are fully verified on our platform and that's where funds are only going to. brian: michael, what's the response been like? >> it's been fantastic, we have been active for about 30 days to date. we launched july 1st. we've got about ten active campaigns on the platform currently and we are just here to spread the message and get the word out that there is a safe place where people can come and put a fundraising campaign on our platform and do it securely so that the public

knows the money is going towards an actual person in need. brian: kevin, give me an idea of how you qualify for need? if i am going through cancer treatment and i can't work or my -- if you lose somebody in your family and they are left and can't afford college, what are the qualifications? >> well, that's catastrophic loss injury. any first respond responders ned contact me personally, we can walk them through -- raise the money in need. first responders that's all that matters at this point. we have to get them relief. brian: robert, you don't do this to become a multimillionaire but do to get back to people. do you feel that people fully understand the need for first responder families? >> yes, i do. and a lot of people don't want to go to flat forms because they are afraid of someone stealing their campaign. that's the reason that we started this. one of my supervisors, her

daughter was born with rare illness and sadly she passed away from it and we had campaign for her on the platform right now that you could send money to as we speak. they didn't want to use goo fund me. there were afraid that someone was going to steal their campaign and that's why we came in and created trusted and verified source to ensure first responders that we are here to help. we are really here to help. brian: great thing that you're doing, not only are you helping us on daily basis but helping those doing the exact thing. donate, firstthefirst.com. thank you so much. >> thank you. brian: you got it. meanwhile more "fox & friends" in just a moment. don't move this year, the alzheimer's association
