even the mayor of portland when this started said we are not seattle and won't let this happen here. we will not allow lawlessness come to our city like seattle. jillian: 47% of people support reducing police budgets and shifting money for social programs. let's listen to mayor jenny durkin. >> she is using law enforcement as a political tool. i believe we are seeing a dry run for martial law. >> i want to thank the men and women of the police department particularly those who were injured, difficult to see their entire organization. jillian: what is your reaction. >> totally hypocritical, she left it in sergeant organized into in charge of occupy

militants with rifles patrolling the streets and deciding who will come in it who could not. it is ridiculous, she used to be a us attorney. she only shutdown chop once protesters and rioters vandalized her house, in the seattle police department, even when shortstaffed has to go to her house. city councilmembers houses, even councilmembers who agree with defunding the police department, there is no satisfying amount, don't know why she is trying, it is about protecting citizens of seattle. todd: it will be interesting to see if this defunding movement is a thing of the past are continuing on in many cities. we always appreciate your insight. 1:18 on the pacific coast. jillian: a bit earlier. thank you. it is 18 after the hour.

and are focused on what is doing right for students. education is about a child in their future. jillian: betsy devos responding to teacher strikes that could derail the opening of schools in the fall. a teachers union told politico high numbers of cases could see safety strikes as lawmakers insist on in person classes, nationwide they are implementing safety measures to protect students and teachers. todd: teachers unions are using the pandemic to get what they really want. >> the teachers union is filled with activists with a vested interest in kids not getting back to school because and the economy can't get going and parents can't go to work, hyping the fear instead of helping find solutions. others say we are not going back to less you give welfare to

illegal immigrants, these are things that have nothing to do with whether kids can go back to school. jillian: many studies show kids less likely to impact covid-19 but they could be carriers and pass on to family members. todd: life is difficult, and so are vacations. jillian: amy kellogg with how people are spending time off in the new normal time. >> with space on beaches limited due to social distancing and many people's winks clipped, people making the most of their summers. skiing and 80 degree weather stockpiled during the winter provides a few days of defined fun for russians. the international money classify loving it more than ever, this summer of social distancing. according to this, sales are up

with a 13% increase in asia. >> the people you like and you love. jillian: with beaches crowded, some without yachts are taking to the hills. in spain this campground, some europeans escape of choice. in illegally light benefited from a long lockdown, flourishing in the absence of people turning crystal-clear season to a diverse paradise. the pandemic, who can't take a vacation, there is always this, gelato. in sicily, a brioche is in stead of account. one of the most sought-after, affordable indulgences after lockdown. the italian government has launched a program for low

income residents, given $560 this summer toward a vacation. todd: something in that was proposed in the us, unclear whether it will come to pass but that gelato show looked good. jillian: hurricane isaias taking aim at the us, janice dean tracking it next. >> are you a camping surrogate? >> i don't get a dime from the campaign. todd: msnbc host getting paid to bakley president. vernon jones joins us live next.

todd: tropical storm isaias strengthening to a category one hurricane as it approaches the bahamas, heavy rain and strong winds battering puerto rico and the dominican republic. portico national guard, flooded streets, russian water forcing its way into one home as well. jillian: people are without power after transformer exploded in san juan, florida bracing for the storm expected to hit this weekend. janice dean joins us live, we are still a couple days out. >> janice: people need to be prepared especially right now the carolinas. we think the direct impact of isaias will be the carolinas but florida is now out of the woods yet. it is a hurricane, got upgraded overnight, 80 miles an hour sustained wind as it moves closer to the bahamas in the next 24 hours. here are the tropical models.

looks like more consensus that the center stays offshore of florida, we have a few outliers but coming close to cape hatteras into saturday and sunday. not out of the woods for florida, make your preparations but looks like it will hug the coastline until the outer banks and then we could get a direct impact. we call this the cone of uncertainty because there's quite a bit of uncertainty through saturday and sunday but looks likely the center will stay mostly offshore and then get a brush off the outer banks towards new england into tuesday. we will talk about isaias unfortunately for many days and we have to find 2 in those computer models and give you the latest. there is a hurricane warning for the bahamas and tropical storm warnings just off the coast of

florida. there is one of our reliable forecast models coming close to florida but making impact on cape hatteras and maybe cape cod tuesday. a lot to look at. we will keep you posted throughout the day, the weekend and into next week. todd: even if it doesn't make a directed on the east coast the weather will be iffy as it makes its way up there. jillian: on air clash. msnbc's interview with vernon jones getting heated after being asked whether he is paid for the president. >> are you a paid surrogate. >> let me be clear, you get paid to shape a liberal merit event attack the president. i don't get a dime from the campaign. everything i've done is based on my principles.

todd: fox news op-ed that followed jones as the clinical -- the cynical question to trump supporting african-americans is intended to intimidate. vernon jones joins us with his message. were you surprised when you are asked that question? >> i was surprised but it is widespread throughout liberal media and the democratic party, with conservative liens. they are pushed out and we attempt to come off of that plantation, they use their asian markets for the sellout, to shame you if you are being paid 30 pieces of silver. it is outrageous, throughout liberal media and the democratic party. todd: ruth was asked a similar question, listen to this. >> in exchange for your blind

support of this administration can you tell us if he ever promised you anything financially or otherwise? >> know. jillian: what do you think of this narrative? >> not just right now, just been exposed right now. what will happen between my colleague, myself, pushing back and showing the demagogue of black americans, we are not monolithic, based on intellect and experience and policies. that is what they think. it is in the wall now. they are not going to tolerate this. todd: will they ask the same question to biden supporters? >> they won't ask that to black

or white biden supporters but that because you are not black if you don't vote for joe biden but that narrative has been shaped, it is disappointing. voter suppression through intimidation, in support of donald trump, they are called racist by the liberal media. they don't want to be called republicans or sellouts. historically they do those things to push you back which is why many of these polls are wrong, they were wrong in 2016 and they could be wrong in 2020. donald trump has a silent majority and will be reelected. jillian: tragic news yesterday about herman cain dying of coronavirus, we know he tested

positive 11 days after the rally in tulsa. we don't know how he contracted. what do you want people to know about him and his life? >> disappointing when i hear the liberal media when they associate getting the virus through attending rallies. it could have been before or after, that is disingenuous. herman cain was a great businessman and politician in his own right. he was all around great american, him and his family. he was a giant of a man, black voices for trump, he was one of those who pulled himself up by his bootstraps, did not rely on government or ask for handouts for his hard work, many others believe in him and what he

achieved throughout his life. jillian: that said a lot. >> great american. jillian: thanks for joining us. we appreciate it. todd: three chicago offices rushed to the hospital after being shot by a carjacking suspect, dramatic radio capturing the terrifying moments. >> stay back. todd: police say they were walking the suspect into the police station when he got a hold of a gun and opened fire. what officer was shot in the neck and is in the icu. another was shot in the hip. the suspect is also in the hospital after being wounded. the latest twist in the michelson probe. the full appeals court will reconsider the dismissal of the former national security adviser's case, flynn's attorney sidney powell on that decision. >> sad day for all of law,

should not have been considered to file it. supposed to be a neutral umpire. he has taken on the role of advocate for some sort of hearing he wants to conduct in his court on an issue the government has decided to drop. todd: a 3-judge panel hearing the case in june after the judge overseeing the case, emmet sullivan, ignored the doj orders to dismiss the case by requiring the hearing, that is slated for august 11th. todd: mike pompeo, against sign as the us ramps up pressure against the communist regime. >> the central threat of our

times, international awakening for the threat of the ccp. the tide is turning. jillian: mike pompeo calling out beijing for cracking down on freedoms in hong kong during a senate hearing. democratic senator dianne feinstein defending china. >> we hold china as a potential trading partner and the country growing into a respectable nation. jillian: feinstein's husband has various investments in china over the years. todd: urging supported on the dnc convention panel to drop the puzzles on superdelegates. jeff weaver said, quote, this is what bernie wants, to go against the movement. proposals were agreed between the biden and sanders campaign, superdelegates to 2024. they propose banning mail-in ballots and pushing more states

to hold primaries instead of caucuses. jillian: the final farewell to congressman john lewis. ♪ jillian: the georgia lawmaker remembered as a founding father with former presidents speaking at his funeral. >> he as much as anyone brought this country a little closer to our highest ideals. >> john lewis thought for the america i believe in, differences of opinion are inevitable elements and evidence of democracy in action. jillian: he was buried at a historic atlanta ceremony. todd: the navy with its first

black female fighter pilot, awarded her wings of gold after three years of training. she wanted to be a pilot everson she went to see the blue angels with her parents. that is awesome. 40 minutes after the hour, joe biden has his sights set on faith-based voters. jillian: john thomas believes biden's political agenda won't resonate.

todd: joe biden targeting religious voters with a new coalition believers for biden, waging a battle for the soul of the nation watching his 2020 campaign. will his strategy work? john thomas, thanks for being here. numbers decide elections. presidential preference among

white evangelicals 67% donald trump, 24% joe biden. will this biden pushed chip away at his lead? >> it is not going to work for a couple reasons. donald trump is popular with evangelicals number one, number 2, looking at joe biden's support, pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage. he was against brett cavanagh. he will likely announce one of the most liberal and progressive vp picks ever and at the same time donald trump has delivered. he delivered brett kavanaugh on the supreme court and has mike pence as his vp pick. not likely to resonate with evangelical voters. todd: chris coons has a different take. >> right between the two

leaders, one sees the divisions in our society and inflames them for his own personal and political gain and another who personally engaged in caring to and witnessing to the possibility of reconciliation in our nation. todd: drill down on this a little more. how does biden toe the line, appealing to the left while trying to convince swing state voters for whom religion is a big deal? >> this is the problem. you can't reconcile the two. biden has caved to a far left wing of his party and that is out of touch with religious voters. this idea coons is saying what far left liberals have been pushing for some time which is americans are fundamentally bad, not good people, we need to correct for our sins. the only way we can get

redemption is bigger federal government that tells us what we can do and how we spend our money. that is not going to resonate. todd: the president suggesting delaying the election in 20 mail-in ballots could result in inaccurate and fraudulent vote, donald trump is on an island when it comes to dealing the election, doesn't have republicans support on that but on the mail-in voting does the president have a point? >> there are solid arguments. not every state thoroughly allows meal in voting. do we necessarily want less -- counties in states that have never done this before to just test it out for the first time without having been able to trial it out? i don't think that is a good idea and there are plenty of opportunities for voter fraud to occur. they make it legal for other

people to take your ballot and deliver it on your behalf. we seen instances of voter fraud throughout the country. this isn't a good idea. it's just keep the election the way it is. i believe local governments can come up with plenty of safe ways for voters to cast their ballots. todd: we are running out of time. the election is a few months away. we appreciate your insight this morning. jillian: a dog photo bombs his owner's wedding video. the couple got married during an online ceremony after 11 years together. they wanted a photo of their new wedding bands when their dog snuck his part in. the photo bomb is very much in character for the 13-year-old. todd: i saw them in the run down and thought it would be a funny story but this is a beautiful story. jillian: a principal getting creative with his back to school message.

the ncaa taking a page out of the pro-apps playbook, wearing patches supporting social justice initiatives on their uniforms. todd: the response this is getting on social media. carley: the ncaa announced players can wear uniforms to

support social justice is initiatives. they can wear a small patch on the front of their jersey or similar to the nba replace their last name on the back of their jersey with a word or phrase important to them. reaction to this very divided. phil on foxnews.com said why do we need to politicize amateur sports? sammy says it is the players twist a patch or not. they should be allowed to stand up for what is right and voice their opinion. mike on facebook not a supporter, i think the ncaa misunderstands the concept of a uniform. some people are upset, some think it is great but no surprise the ncaa is allowing this. todd: cancel culture and good pizza do not mix. take a look. >> a woman comes into my store, asked what flag that is in the back of the store. she said it is the owner's flag

and said she is the administrator on a facebook page and is going to post it online. jillian: a new york pizza shop owner told stuart varney one of his customers threatened to drive him out of business because he had a pro trump flag hanging in the backpack, a tweet yesterday, in st. john's long island, new york. after the woman tried to run him out of town the opposite happened, seeing a flood of support. jillian: alabama principle has gotten serious moves.
