winds. it is no longer expected to strengthen to the a hurricane. pete: at least they had the music going. isaias battered parts of the bahamas. bringing down trees. north carolina's governor calling for state of emergency ahead of the storm. griff: doug hurley and bob behnken set to splash down in the gulf of mexico. that is the first splash down in 45 years. meteorologist rick reichmuth is tracking the storm. clear landing? rick: they will land in the gulf of mexico. that is clearly fine. there are seven different spots they could land in. they chose rightly so one in parts of the gulf. isaias i mentioned it was a hurricane. dry air, mentioned a lot of wind would break the storm apart. a lot of that happened. it brought it from a hurricane

down to tropical storm. if you're not aware that means the winds drop below 74 miles an hour. then we give it categorization of a tropical storm rather than a hurricane. it is off the shore of the fort lauderdale area. all of the energy is off to the east side of it. to the right side of it. radar picture, see heavy rain across parts of the bahamas. bans coming into florida. worst of the rain throughout the day today, as the storm pulls towards the north. the worst of the action or weather will be on the east side of it. that will spare the worst. this is not that dangerous of storms unless you make some dumb moves. stay out of the the water when that becomes dangerous. aside of that we should get through the storm okay. tropical storm warnings in through south carolina. storm continues to pull towards

the north. probably sometime tomorrow night into tuesday make some sort of landfall across parts of the carolinas and then move towards the northeast. lot of people getting a lot of rain from this. back to you guys. jedediah: thank you, rick. we have a big show coming up. nasa administrator jim bridenstine, senator rick scott. house whip devin nunes, race driver danica patrick. it will be packed with a lot of politics and a lot of fun. pete: white house and top democrats making progress on a new coronavirus relief bill. there is no deal yet. lawmakers gear up for more talks this week. lauren, good morning. reporter: good morning, pete, griff, jed. today white house congressional staff will continue to meet behind closed doors. it comes after what was described as one of the most positive meetings involving months of stalemates.

although know deal was reached yesterday between speaker nancy pelosi, minority leader chuck schumer, white house chief of staff mark meadows and treasury secretary steve mnuchin there seemed toe at least be some consensus where the leaders agreed. >> we're not close yet but it was a productive discussion. now each side knows where they're at. i think we would also characterize the discussions as the most productive we've had to date. reporter: on friday the extra $600 in unemployment benefits ran out for millions of americans. each side has blamed the other for the stall in passing another relief package. in a tweet president trump supported a temporary extension of the full unemployment benefit and additional stimulus checks. leaders say they also found common ground funds for schools. need for more personal protective equipment and loans for small businesses hurt bit pandemic. chief of staff mark meadows was

careful to say even though no deal was reached, the meetings were productive and at this point there is no final deal anywhere. at this point near, but guys, we are a little bit closer than we were on friday. griff: lauren blanchard, thanks very much. as lauren pointed out. no light at the end of the tunnel. as they take august off, as they compare the wish-list doesn't look like there is any room to agree. pete: griff, when you hear little bit closer, most productive yet, doesn't mean they're close. staffs will meet today. the principals will meet again on monday. i hope everyone feels increased urgency, can step back, jed, as you talked about, wanting to play politics with who benefits, who doesn't benefit, recognizing this covid-19 moment isn't going anywhere, additional unemployment is needed, pp and

recognition that liability is important. hopefully they can inch much their way to a solution. the longer they do, the longer people go without the support they need at this moment. jedediah: does chuck schumer sound like he recognizes that urgency? i don't hear it. they're all getting a paycheck. that is great for politicians. they're getting paid as usual, heavens no what. they go back and forth and very little gets done. they're petting paid, most americans are sitting around lost their business. hurry it up, if i don't get help i will not be able to feed my family tomorrow. people around the country dealing with real world problems. so much has been shut down as a result of this virus. so many people in despair looking for assistance. so many parents saying when will schools reopen? will they get the necessary funding. parents can't go back to kids if kids are not in school. all the complexities, with

politicians in washington having the luxury, you know what? i want one trillion dollars, it is two trillion dollars, it is unsufferable for most people. i suggest they get their urgency in check and get it into high gear. griff: this may impact the election as well as those presidential debates between joe biden and donald trump but, oh, wait a minute, not everyone thinks we should have them. we will have three presidential debates because of the commission on presidential debates september 29th and october 22nd. one former press secretary, joe lockhart is now saying you know what? joe biden shouldn't even participate because it is not worth the risk. here is what he told cnn yesterday. >> joe, if the president is watching this right now, i could see him rubbing his hands together, oh, my god, that would be perfect, then i of course get to say he is afraid to get on the stage with me. it has to do with his cognitive abilities. >> he will say that.

it is worth the risk. the debates are very different. this is the one thing, you know, now they will not really have conventions where the public will tune in, 50, 60 million people. and they will, they will see all of this nonsense from him. he will take the truth and then destroy it. and biden will be in the position of correcting him over and over and over again. i don't think he should give him that platform. griff: so lockhart is saying that it is not going to be prudent to have the president lying. this was the press secretary for bill clinton during impeachment. he was walter mondale's campaign press secretary. not sure that holds water,. pete: pete he is a partisan through and through. taking hiding biden to the next level. literally saying we shouldn't have presidential debates at all. i hope the president seizes on this in a powerful way. not only do i want three, i want more. they should be earlier to have early voting or people mailing

in. nevada, the latest state to ram through a mail-in prosignificance just yesterday. voters will see through this attempt but they will not be able, they will see, they will see clearly on a debate stage the contrast between these two men and cognitive ability. really the way joe biden has been captured by the left, having to defend those things. debates, jed, as you know are extremely important. there is so much information and misinformation but to see the two men on stage talking about the issues, president trump should give him no excuse to not be there. jedediah: yeah. i mean, if i were advising joe biden i clearly am not, i would also be recommending that he not -- because he is terrible at them. he only stands to lose here. he knows it. his handlers know it. you can't overly handle and manage someone on debate stage. they are out there on their own. they have to defend policies. they have to be authentic or not, succinct or not. they are on their own. they don't trust him to do that.

they are hoping, we're in the midst of horrific pandemic. a lot of people will say, we couldn't do a debate properly because of debate, pandemic, coronavirus restrictions, he is relying on that, as opposed to people saying he doesn't want to debate because he is a incompetent debater. i don't know how the voters will perceive it but it is good advice, when ever he is out there speaking on his own it is painful to watch. i don't blame his handlers for looking out for him in that respect. we'll turn to the headlines now. we begin with a fox news alert. the search for seven marines and a sailor after a training accident called off overnight. all eight are now presumed dead. they have went missing after an amphibious assault vehicle sank in california. helicopters and boats searching san klee men t.i. land for

that back. griff: why is the council doing this? >> they're really about abolishing the police department. a lot of them said they would do it when running for council. this shouldn't be a surprise to anybody. this is more of their marxist, socialist ideology. the question, who is this community group are they going to replace the police department with? the law enforcement assistance diversion program has been a failure. they haven't produced any numbers since 2014. where they divert criminals into other forms of treatment, quote, unquote. so far it hasn't worked out at all. they keep reoffending. and they are prolific offenders who keep terrorizing residents of downtown. they fail along the policy path and there is no recourse to the citizens. griff: we reached out to the seattle police department, we haven't heard back, the chief out there, chief best, really in a difficult spot. how do they now handle this? >> she called the decision reckless. the police department has a petition gathering signature effort which was at over 100,000

people last time i checked it. theres with a rally yesterday to show support for the seattle police department. and a lot of people who are not normally heard are making their feelings very well-heard right now online. and in protests in public. griff: i misspoke. we reached out to the seattle city council, not the police department. my point was about the police department. in a larger sense, ari, a "gallup poll" number really caught our attention. 15% of americans support abolishing police departments. while 15% is perhaps a low number. if you consider the ramifications of what that would mean, it is really quite frightening, are you concerned that as goes seattle will go the country? the. >> i have often called seattle is canary in the coal mine for rest of america. this is the kind of stuff they try out here. it gets pushed out. for example this lead program, law enforcement assistance diverse program was pushed out across the country t was basis for bail reform law that turns

criminals loose in new york. if you look what is happening in new york, where african-american communities are asking for police to be redeployed cut back by mayor de blasio, the same thing will happen here in seattle. seattle was the basis for a lot of these failed policies. that is very concerning to me. concerning to me how people are not watching what is happening in portland and seattle with riots people claim are peaceful protest which are anything but, now they are in favor of bringing this to their own cities. griff: canary in the coal mine. ari hoffman. thanks for joining us. >> pleasure as always. enjoy your weekend. griff: coming up, joe biden has his sights set on faith based voters but will he deliver? a discussion you won't want to miss next. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

church in dallas, dr. robert jeffress. st. paul ame church, in atlanta, dawkins leg letter and fox news contributor jonathan morris. thanks for being here this morning. pastor jeffress, will people buy believers for biden? >> the latest pew poll shows biden has only 17% of evangelicals who are going to vote for him. frankly i don't he has a prayer of a chance of attracting any large number of conservative faith voters as long as he and the democrat party continue to embrace unrestricted abortion, abortion for any reason at any stage in the pregnancy up until the baby is in the birth canal of the mother. most americans, most faith voters believe that is not only wrong, they believe it is barbaric. and frankly, pete, i think there is a way he could increase his share of faith voters, if he would just moderate his view on abortion.

if he were to stand up, i'm for unrestricted abortion until the last month of pregnancy, but joe biden will never do that. the democrats can't moderate their views because biden and the democrats are completely owned by planned parenthood and planned parenthood will allow no restrictions in the so-called right to murder children in the womb. that is why this is not going to work. pete: reverend dawkins, you're a supporter of vice president biden. pastor jeffress reference ad poll. we have our own poll at fox news channel. presidential preference amongst white evangelicals, which is a large voting bloc, 67% for president trump. planned parenthood, pastor jeffress mentioned as well. they're spending their spending cycle threefold in support of biden. 2012 convention, idea of god was

almost booed in that and stripped the reference in that convention. how does he make appeal to voters of faith based on data points? >> those are very good data points. most of myself, southern base, black base, we're pro-life and pro-choice, at the same time. we don't try to protect children in the womb. we try to protect them from the womb until the grave. republicans especially those conservative, pastors don't only want to protect those in the womb, don't have public policy to make sure children have food once they leave the womb, have someone to take care of them, you know, have social security, have whatever it is in life, to get them from one point to the end of life, then it's a very different. pete: you're talking about different philosophies of governing which democrats embraced socialism. >> pro-life, means pro-h pro life, from the time you're born until the time you die. pete: what about before you're

born in the womb. >> you love god. you will treat your neighbor as yourself. you loaf god first. so when you see anyone, you treat anyone, everyone with the utmost love and respect at all times and all places. because god is expects us to the best for everyone. whatever you do unto the least of them you do -- pete: jonathan morris break the tie here. we'll put you right in the middle here. life issues are prominent. people of significant have strong views about protecting life in the womb. your take. >> we should say those of us who are pro-life are all pro-life all the way up to the grave. so suggesting that some how we are only pro-life until the baby is born is not being genuine i don't think. with regards, to vice president biden i think real elephant in the womb, most people think he is a very decent person, they know that we know, that the

country is going to be electing not just joe biden but especially in his case because of his own physical state right now, the country is going to be electing a platform and the democratic platform is in black and white has been so anti-life especially to the unborn. but beyond that i would say as well. and anti-religious freedom. in the end religious believers know this is not about being part of a club it's a relationship with god and in a relationship with god, we also develop and educate our conscience and as individuals with a conscience, we have the right, the god-given right to make choices and we are afraid, quite honestly the democratic platform as it is, i hope it does change, to have a real choice, as it is it is not respectful of the religious conscience of the individual. pete: it will be interesting to

watch the platform of democrats in 020. does it get more extreme on abortion? what does it do with jerusalem and israel. >> it can't get more extreme, pete. it cannot get more extreme. pete: fair point, thank you for putting exclamation point. on it. thank you all for being here this morning. thank you. two astronauts on their way home after leaving the international space station but will the tropical storm affect their return? nasa administrator jim bride enstein joins us live with an update next. apps are used everywhere...

warnings in place across parts of florida have been dropped to tropical storm corning. they have been extended north of charleston. tropical storm watches to the north of that, or northeast of that. here is the center the storm. you see the center off the coast of florida. all that energy off to east of us. you don't have the energy where the center of the storm is. one of the things that gives us visual representation that the storm isn't in very good condition. you see that on the radar. all the rain to the east of it across parts of northern bahamas. they get hit by hurricane dorian last year. they're dealing with that. this is the future radar. what one model thinks what it will look like. the heavy rain to the eastern side of the storm. it would good news, keeps it off the coast of florida. eventually we start to see some heavier rain across parts of carolinas though. florida precipitation not that bad. carolinas, the northeast, we'll see some spots maybe three to four inches of rain in that line. exactly where that line goes we can't say just yet.

a lot of people will get a little bit of rain, a lot of flooding as well. back to you. griff: rick, thank you very much. all eyes are on the first splashdown in 45 years with bob and doug, let's bring in nasa administrator jim bridenstine. good morning to you. where are we with this? >> good morning. yes. so bob and doug are coming home today. we are excited to bring them home. i want to start by saying thank you to the nasa team and the spacex team. as soon as bob and doug launched they moved rapidly to figure out the calculations, the trajectories, the burns that were necessary to land on the western part of florida, the western side of florida i should say. because of that we have the opportunity to bring them home safely today. so it will be a good day for nasa. jedediah: jim for those not familiar with a splashdown what actually goes into that making that particular type of landing guaranteed safety for those

astronauts? >> so this is, as you can imagine, this is one of the more dangerous parts of the flight, that being said, we've done everything we can to reduce as much risk as possible but the first part is, you know, they will reenter the atmosphere. they will use the upper atmosphere of the either as a braking mechanism, basically friction. the capsule has a heat shield that will protect the astronauts. as they get closer to the earth, it will end up being a freefall. some chutes will deploy at around 17,000 feet. at around 6500 feet four main chutes will open. once we see four full main parachutes, a lot of us will breathe a sigh of relief. this has been proven, it is very safer, still the first time, remember this is a test flight. the united states of america has not had a human spaceflight

program since the retirement of the space shuttle nine years ago. so this is a really big deal for our country. pete: jim what have bob and doug been doing there two months? it is a test flight, they have been up there two months, what have they been spending their time on? >> great question. bob behnken has done four spacewalks. they have been changing out the batteries on the international space station. so that we can store the energy that is, that is received from those large solar panels outside of the space station. doug hurley has been inside of the space station supporting bob behnken and chris cassidy, the other american astronaut on the international space station. as they change out the batteries in order to preserve the international space station. griff: all right, jim bridenstine, thank you very much. i love you were displaying video with bob and doug, holding the trimmer, the dragon mascot toy they took with them.

or some deal means that ticktock is going to be u.s. owned. pete: gordon, go ahead, griff. griff: i wanted to say, god gordon, whether they divest or go to microsoft otherwise, will the threat be fully removed, that is my question? >> if it is u.s. owned, that the threat will be removed. ticktock issues always these assurances. ultimately it is chinese owned, we have to remember the 2017 national intelligence law of china requires every chinese entity to spy if demanded. communist party's top down system nobody can resist an order from the party. so these assurances from tiktok are really meaningless. people need to put them into context. we know tiktok has been spying. apple caught it twice this year in april and late june using clipboard function.

and there is, for instance, another violation, this time abusing the information of minors. so tiktok is a bad actor and we've got to consider not just the theoretical concerns but also what in fact it has been doing. jedediah: you know, gordon, some of the assurances provided by tiktok are that the data is stored in the united states. that there are a lot of american investors and as a result of that, something nefarious possibly couldn't be going on. what is your response to that? >> well you know, those assurances, you know, we remember communist party rules will dictate that bite dance, the private chinese company, will force tiktok to share data illicitly. you know, this is just a series of ongoing issues. there is one other thing, jed, and that is, we can't, china doesn't allow american apps in china. so why are we allowing chinese apps in the united states?

this is a fundamental issue of fairness, of reciprocity. so it seems to me that if tiktok doesn't sell, then we've got to ban it. pete: gordon, turn about is fair play. not only do they not allow apps, steal our technology, will this be a new america where we force american companies to be american and not work with our enemies? >> we're seeing that in the trump administration. for instance, in the similar situation the trump administration forced the sale of grinder, the dating app. i think it is important because you know, we've seen china abuse its apps and use them to spy on americans and as you point out, china steals hundreds of billions of dollars of u.s. intellectual property each year. there is also other bad acts. the trump administration is moving forcefully to end these because this is just been a

here win sight, some top real estate spots, pwc partner mitch rochelle. welcome to the show as always. first of all talk about the housing boom, what's happening and what is happening to these prices as well? >> well unfortunately prices are supply and demand. there is a lot of demand and unfortunately there isn't a lot of supply in the market. when people rush to buy houses fueled by low interest rates, they are out there, not enough homes to buy so prices go up. jedediah: let's look at some states where people are. you know, people are fleeing cities in many cases. also fleeing several states around the country. let's start with florida. what is going on in florida in terms of home purchases? >> yeah, two places jed, i want to point out. one is tampa, the other is fort lauderdale. in tampa they redid the riverwalk, 10 years ago it started t created a vibrant

downtown. when you think of downtown it has suburban feel. fort lauderdale, less congested than miami. that is becoming popular from the northeast if you want to rye locate but folks within florida themselves. jedediah: what about the great state of texas? >> texas is all about job growth. nashville's population, i'm sorry, you said texas. austin, same thing. it is about job growth. austin's population is growing three times faster than the u.s. population. with all of those young people down there, it is a job-creating engine. right now with our economy being the way it is, job growth is key jedediah: what about tennessee? >> tennessee is similar story. i would say sort of nashville and some people will probably hate me on social media for this, nashville sort of the new austin. very similar story. a lot of young companies, a lot of startups driving a lot of activity down there. very popular and very, very

affordable relative to some other cities in the northeast. jedediah: now let's look at new york where i am. >> yeah. new york, listen, you see the headlines, people are flocking out of new york city like crazy, literally, jed, homes are selling sight unseen. people want to get out. they're going to new jersey, westchester where i am right now, southern connecticut. very, very popular. very hard to find a home right now. jedediah: and finally north carolina? >> yeah, north carolina, really it is very, very diverse economy down there. you have financial services. you have technology. you have all the colleges and universities. again, a lot of startups. a lot of sort of sprawling countryside. very affordable. it is a place where if you're looking to start a family, very, very popular. jedediah: yep. thanks so much, mitch. too many good options as usual. we appreciate it though.

>> you betcha. thanks. jedediah: thank you. lawmakers say they made progress on a covid-19 relief bill but there is still no deal in sight. the sticking points of negotiation. that's next.

mountain bike from griff jenkins. so my morning started off very well. pete: i don't have an update on the cats. they are sleeping or harassing somebody. griff: what are their names. pete: we were in the middle of a "star wars" kick, so their names are storm and trooper. i'm a cat dad. that is not really a thing. jed, you disagree with that. i feed them, clean up after them. as if i needed more kids to clean up after. i don't like to share pictures. maybe we'll do it. but i can't guarranty it. we go straight to some extreme weather right now. tropical storm isaias barreling toward florida. ♪ the storm slamming parts of the state with heavy rains and wind but it is no longer expected to regain hurricane strength. that's good. griff: isaias already battering parts of the bahamas, knocking

down out power and bringing down trees. north carolina's governor declaring a state of imagine ahead of the storm. jedediah: two astronauts are keeping a close eye on the radar. they are heading back to earth right now, expected to splash down in the gulf of mexico. it is the first splashdown in 45 years. meteorologist rick reichmuth is tracking the storm. he joins us live with the latest. what have you got, rick? rick: guys, they will splash down in the gulf of mexico which is different from the atlantic. they will be fine with the storm. the atlantic is where we're dealing with it. isaias you notice the center of the storm is not where the action is. the action is towards the east. that is good news if you don't want a storm toe strengthen. i don't think we'll see storm strength egging. winds are gusting 40 miles an hour along the coast. most of moisture stays off towards the east throughout the day. we'll see bands move in, some parts of florida, two to three

inches of rain in localized areas. it could cause a little bit of flooding. definitely a dangerous day for the beaches. thankfully a lot of beaches are closed. this is the path of the 24 hours of the storm. the storm really close to the florida coastline. it makes the northeasterly turn. as it does, gets closer to the north carolina. probably tomorrow afternoon, into tomorrow evening we have some sort of a landfall. parts of south carolina into north carolina before it continues to move, moving pretty quickly across parts of the northeast. we'll talk about the storm eventually having impacts in places like the i-95 corridor where the big population is, that will be tuesday, tuesday night a lot of areas still to be impacted by the storm, guys. the good news, the worst of the storm, meaning the worst of the rain for now at least for florida, across the eastern side of the storm. means not across parts of land. the good news we have tropical

storm, not a hurricane. i don't think we'll talk about a massive storm for anybody. locally spot as lost rain, flooding. definitely danger if you don't take precautions. guys, back to you. pete: rick, thank you very much. we'll continue to cover that, but as we covered on this program for the past couple months, the social unrest and riots across the country. let's play a game here. what happens if there are social unrest and riots across the country and one side of the political spectrum says the answer is to defund police departments? the data is in. it is stark and it is dangerous. here is some data that has come in chicago and new york, at this point compared to last year. chicago, as of july 26th, 433 murders so far in 2020. at this same point last year, only, not only, 284 was already a big number. 433. then turn to new york city. that was a 52% increase. today, we are already beyond where we were last year in the

number of shootings in new york city. so the call is to defund police departments that are already overstrapped and, you effectively told them they can't police the way they did in the past. there is no incentive to do so. the left scratches their head, the chaos candidate, joe biden, what is his answer to this in light of the fact people want to live in the cities, they want to flourish in the cities, be safe in these cities, go to school in these cities? they are surrounded by chaos and violence. what is the answer from democrat mayors, from joe biden hiding in his basement to address the chaos we're seeing in our cities? jedediah: yeah. i mean there is no answer from them as of now. why people looked to the president because he has been strong supporter of law enforcement and law and order. many of local leadership, mayors and governors around the country in many very struggling cities right now unfortunately have not backed law enforcement. the numbers are bad, they're scary when you see them. what is worse for me, the

palpable feeling that you have. i can't speak for chicago because i haven't been there recently, but when you go into manhattan it feels unsafe. neighborhoods that were once very safe i would feel comfortable walking around alone in i don't any longer, i really, really don't. something has to be done. when you look at a place like new york, governor cuomo as opposed to taking a look at some numbers, taking statistics making that a priority, he instead nypd stepping up covid crackdowns. take a listen what he had to say on saturday. >> local governments have to step up. some are doing better than others. last night 41 establishments that were given violations. two in the bronx, one in brooklyn, five in queens, three in nassau, two in suffolk, 27 in manhattan. 27 in manhattan. we need the nypd to step up and

do enforcement. griff: wow. you know, i'm not sure how to deal with that question. you know, we talked in the last hour, in seattle, they're defunding the police department, it is a problem. as he called it, our guest a canary in the coal mine. we'll see how things go. meanwhile here in washington tiktok is all the rage and as follower of -- pete: in your house. griff: with two teenage daughters. it is a big deal. we heard from tiktok's general manager, tiktok is not going anywhere. calm down. here is what she said. >> we're not planning on going anywhere. we appreciate the support. we are here for the long run and continue to share your voice here and let's stand for tiktok. when it comes to safety and security, we're building the safest app, we know it is the right thing to do. griff: taken the temperature of anxiety in my household and appears according to my eldest

daughter madeleine there is much a lot of confidence it will readapt in the u.s. as a app, dating app grinder apparently did before it was owned by the chinese. i don't know much about that, pete. but i do know it looks like tiktok is going to be an issue. pete: it already is. the woman speaking there vanessa pappas, tiktok general manager. that is the face of someone complicit with communist chinese surveillance and knows it. thankfully president trump is staring this down, making it clear regardless whether teenagers are riled up about it. thank goodness 14-year-olds can't vote. what we do know, we couldn't, gordon chang, let me let gordon chang say it, he understands china, communist chinese, how we use something like tiktok we need to wake up now. he was on our program earlier. >> we have to remember, tiktok issues all of these assurances because it is ultimately chinese-owned, we have to

remember the 2017 national intelligence law in china requires every chinese entity to spy if demanded. tiktok is a bad actor and we've got to consider not just the theoretical concerns but also what in fact it has been doing. china doesn't allow american apps in china, so why are we allowing chinese apps in the united states? this is a fundamental issue of fairness, of reciprocity. so it seems to me that if tiktok doesn't then we've got to ban it. pete: freedom for us in your country say the communist china but never you in ours. until we wake up to this double standard, they will use our country, our culture, entertainment, our apps against us. we do nothing against them and their country. thankfully president trump understands this. i don't think he is worried about the influence of the election on this. he understands the stakes for our country. jed, thankfully, tiktok will not be owned by the chinese for very

long. what their future is? who knows. jedediah: yeah the question of whether it could influence young voters, it is an interesting one. i don't know, i think if it were explained to them, they really understood what was going on i think they would be in support, well this is crazy. young people care about their privacy too. they don't want data breaches of their own information, many young people said when i wrote the book about technology, young people said hold on a second what do you mean facebook and twitter can do this, there is no opt out provision? they were worried about their privacy. the question how the media will spin it. i have to say most of the people using tiktok in my feed are adults. they're not kids. most people mr. in their 30s, 40s, people in quarantine going to that. i don't know, maybe it affects those people are saying, who will be mad about it. i don't know what age bracket. this needs to be explained to people. normal, sane, reasonable people will look at this, saying i don't want my data breached by the chinese government.

that should not be a polarizing issue so to speak. pete: without president trump i don't think we would be having the conversation. consensus, republican, democrat in d.c., don't worry about china. it is a peaceful rise. we can find a way to work with them. all the while they ex-planned their influence. jedediah: exactly right. we'll turn to headlines now beginning with a fox news alert. overnight the search is called off for seven marines and a sailor. they are now presumed dead after going missing last week when their military vehicle sank off california's coast. 16 servicemembers were onboard. one marine died. eight others were rescued. two of them are in critical condition. the white house and democrats appearing optimistic following talks on coronavirus relief. >> we're not yet. it's a productive discussion. each side knows where we're at. >> i think we would characterize as the discussions the most productive we've had to the talks focused whether to

♪. griff: biding miss time? former vice president has yet to name his running mate, officially eyeing august 1st as the big announcement. sources say we can expect another week to pass before he reveals it. our next guest ran against one of the top contenders, kamala harris in 2016. former chairman of the california republican party, tom delvaro. >> griff, great to see you. griff: great. i wish we know who the running mate will be with former vice president joe biden. what is the delay. >> it is not a good sign. he originally talked about may. then the convention got pushed back. there is only one way to look at a delay, they are not ready. why aren't they ready? because they can't find a unifying candidate they know it. there was no unnyefy presidential candidate.

biden was last resort to get away from bernie sanders. choices for vp, required a woman of color, none are unifying either. he still has to sell his pick to his group. he will have to sell it to the country. i'm not sure it will sell at all. griff: looks like it may be a publicity thing, if he announces week of august 10th, dnc will start august 17th, that will generate headlines. you mentioned who the candidate may be. from the "sacramento bee" out there, biden likely pick kamala harris for vp. here is why karen bass is better choice to go into it. bass doing with their own issues after a video showed her at scientology event. what do you make about bass versus harris or anyone else? >> well, what that headline is telling you is what we know in california. remember, dianne feinstein came out early for biden, not her senatorial partner.

why is that? because kamala harris is viewed as selfishly ambitious. all politicians are ambitious to a certain extent but harris doesn't seem to be out there helping others or being a team player. that is what that is. ac bee report was about, talking about bass trying to help her constituents. griff: right. >> this tells you where the party is. bass said that the loss of fidel castro was a great loss to the cuban people. that is how far lefter in. griff: tom, the time we got left, take the kamala harris argument. she as a d.a. in san francisco launched a thing that really redid, sending young people to jail for low level drug crimes as california attorney general. had mandatory body body cameras on officers. how can she not be the best candidate when she leads on police uniform, those kind of

things? >> she is shifting those positions. early on, she was all aabout a d.a., during the presidential race last year when the lack of law and order for democrats she seemed to abandon the positions. she is good fund-raiser. emily's list loves her. she is attractive candidate. biden campaign has to look over their shoulder. she is very ambitious. saw how she went after him in the debate. they don't know they can trust her in the white house. maybe they pick her any way. they don't have one good pick. that is troubling the biden camp, frankly all of the democrats. griff: we shall be watching. tom dell beccarro, have a great sunday. >> see you. griff: milestone in the fight against vivo, new jersey reported zero in hospital deaths for the first time since march. dr. nicole saphier lives in new jersey. sheave joins us next and what it

we have about 16,000 of people in new jersey died from covid-19. at one point we had over 4,000 people hospitalized. we are seeing people dying up to 400 a day in new jersey. this was an extremely important day for us. you know, i say it was caution. it wasn't the time to celebrate as we still have 1000 americans dying from covid-19 a day, but it was definitely a moment of gratitude because the people of new jersey really done what they have needed to do to bring undo the cases and really protect the vulnerable t was a great moment for new jersey. now i say that with caution. just in the last few days we have seen a slight uptick in the transmission rate in new jersey. there are cases, are slowly beginning to rise here. largely due to large indoor gatherings. i'm happy to say about a third of those cases are ages 30 to 49. we know that has a significantly less, or lower mortality rate in this age group, than say some of

the more vulnerable population. only go 2% of the positive cases in new jersey of children five to 17. that is positive side. it is younger, more healthy population are testing positive. however we say, we get nervous because that younger population may be a bit more brazen and bring it back to more vulnerable populations. jedediah: nicole, we've seen a lot of measures undertaken, everything from mask mandates to shutting down of non-essential businesses problem. a doctor perspective perspective what is most essential minimizing the virus? >> the big concern with covid-19 that this virus aerosolizes. if it does, it is highly contagious and lingers in the air after people affected can leave. getting people out of small, contained indoor spaces has been key. when you are are indoors or you're having to congregate

wearing masks likely decreases transmission. it is not foolproof. masks are not created equally. a lot of people don't wear them appropriately. but it likely contributes to lessening the transmission of the virus. i will say going forward i am extremely nervous because people are traveling. it is really hot outside. people are congregating indoors. we're starting to see an uptick in cases. that in my opinion will hinder our children getting back to school. that is not fair to our children. when i see people congregating indoors. having irresponsible behaviors, it is very frustrating as a mother, as a physician, because i want our children back in school. i want us, adults, the responsible ones to do everything we can to get them back. jedediah: i could not agree more. dr. nicole saphier. thank you so much for being here. thank you for your insight. every one check out her book, make america healthy again. it is fantastic. notes because i endorsed it but

the storm hitting parts of the state with heavy rain and winds but it is no longer expected to regain hurricane strength. pete: isaias battered parts of the bahamas ma and bringing down trees. griff: rick reichmuth joins us with the latest. hey, rick. rick: hey, guys. one of the things we'll have to watch with isaias in florida, across even georgia into south and north carolina is storm surge. we're expected to see about two to four feet of storm surge as all of that wind will continue to push a lot of water in the intercoastal waterways f you're in an area prone to flooding from storm surge, you will have two toe four feet on it. you can plan what kind of protection you need to take in place. that will be worst piece of florida. we'll see beach erosion with that. but as far as as the rain, most of that is to the east side of the storm. most of the rain will not be on the west side of the storm which

will be where florida is. that is good news. we're also going to see winds, maybe tropical storm force winds throughout the the day. but not hurricane force winds at all. this is a future radar depiction. all the energy stays to the east side of the storm. that is good news until we get to south carolina, we'll likely see, all the models are in good agreement we'll see a landfalling storm in and around the south carolina and north carolina area. very likely just a strong tropical storm. so we're not talking about a hurricane there but a tropical storm. it will bring a lot of rains and certainly winds 60 to 65 miles per hour in that area. precipitation totals across florida, you see not that bad. when you get farther towards the north. you see eastern part of south carolina and strip of north carolina and heading northeast. a few spots four to six inches in isolated spots. that will be through tuesday. by wednesday morning most of us

are done with the storm. back to you. pete: rick, thank you. let's bring in senator rick scott, republican from florida, former florida governor. thanks for being here. your state has seen storms much larger than this one but in this covid-19 moment there are other complications talk about what you're doing in florida? >> first i've been talking to the national hurricane center. state and local officials, everybody's ready. everybody's hoping that the stays off our shore. we'll know we get some flooding. everyone has to stay out of the water. you have to be very careful about rip currents. but the hard thing will be our shelters. you're going to have socially distance around our shelters. hopefully this will stay off our shore. hopefully we have a hurricane season where we don't have to open up like we do with irma. i had to open up 700 shelters. i hope everybody stays safe today. stay out of the water and keep watching the weather. jedediah: senator, i want to shift over to some politics

because many americans are waiting right now to see what happens with a coronavirus relief package. we see democrats and republicans debating that out. is there some sense of urgency on capitol hill that politicians need to get something done because americans are counting on that relief and they're counting on it to come quickly? >> clearly we need to get something done. we have to take care of those who lost their jobs and have to get our economy open, help the small businesses but the democrats have no urgency. last week they blocked an extension of the unemployment benefits at the current level. they blocked a proposal to say we'll compensate people at 2/3 their compensation. they blocked both of those. the democrats have no sense of your again system i would like to get something done. i know republicans in senate want to get something done. help those that lost their jobs get the economy open and get the small businesses again. unfortunately the democrats want to waste your money. they have already spent

$3 trillion, a trillion not been spent. they want to spend another 3 trillion. they want florida taxpayers to pay for new york, illinois, california, prior pension problems, prior bad budgets this is grab bag for democrats to take advantage after crisis to try to spend every dime you have. somebody will pay for this down the road. i want to make sure we take care of people but don't waste your money. griff: senator, looks unlikely a deal will be forthcoming. meanwhile for parents ever teenagers across the count this issue of tiktok, president banning tiktok which led to the general manager of ticktock in the u.s. says it is not going anywhere. what is the latest on this? you actually took a lead on this. >> here is what we all have to understand, that communist china's is run by the communist party. xi, the general secretary of the communist party has decided to clearly be our adversary. whether it is tiktok, some of

the apps like tiktok or chinese drones, these are being used to get information about americans to surveil us. communist china decided to be our adversary. it is hard to acknowledge this but you know, we're now in a cold war again. so yeah, i have a bill with senator hawley that says that you know, federal workers are not going to be able to use tiktok as an app on their phone. the truth is no american should. it is basically an opportunity for the chinese party, the communist chinese party to surveil us. don't buy chinese drones. they will surveil us. that is it what they're doing. pete: senator, you're right. we're in a new cold war. huawei wants to use 5g to penetrate our companies, our infrastructure. will there be a bipartisan consensus in the idea of a cold war? democrats have been much more muted in their criticism, talking about tiktok, talking about the communist chinese. they're all leftists at some

level. among senators, others is there willingness to stare down china on capitol hill? >> there is clearly bipartisan support of trying to hold china accountable, until joe biden was the nominee. we know joe biden is soft on china. we know president trump has been tough on china. he held communist china accountable. now democrats had to pivot and don't attack china because joe biden, you know, he doesn't believe china's a problem. we know china's a problem. they have a million people in prison just for their religion. they take away the basic rights of hong kong citizens. they militarize the south china sea. they are clearly decided, xi clearly decided to our adversary. joe biden and the democrats, they have been soft. griff: senator rick scott joining from us florida. thanks for taking the time. we will be thinking praying for all the floridians down there as

state unwilling to coordinate with the feds? there was a courthouse there under siege, it was being attacked, officers being attacked but it took persistence from the president of the united states, the state police, the governor, to be willing to cooperate. why won't they cooperate when the federal government is under siege? >> i think it is just that, governor kate brown. i think she has been under fire by her base which unfortunately is the protesters and they didn't want her to do anything about the issue. they, she probably felt like if they did, she would be viewed negatively by people protesting and those on the very far left. pete: what is your message with people who have a grievance the way our country is operating right now but they are silent to people attacking law enforcement, burning down buildings, bibles in one instance, flags? what is your message to the people who stand by to allow this to happen, you know, it is

peaceful? >> i think people need to start making up their minds where they stand on the issue. you can maybe not disagree with the protests but, the things that they're doing, like, i went to the elk horn brewery in eugene a week ago, this gentleman that runs it, obviously struggling due to the coronavirus. this is the third time he has had all the windows in his business smashed up by protesters. no one really agrees with what the protesters are doing. i think it is time that we actually stand up and say so, try to do something about it. pete: your colleagues in the national guard, any talk, the president talked about the guard being called out. where does it stand? >> i'm honestly not 100% sure but i'm sure the national guard will always be ready if the president asks us to do everything. pete: most of the time you're ready. we'll see where that goes. alex, good luck in your race. we appreciate it.

military. midlands is the largest provider of the military community here in columbia, south carolina. as you know, south carolina is a huge military state. i found out about one of this, one of my professors was he found out he finished his work to get his degree. we assisted that. meet him at the airport, as a surprise. it was a great day for us here at mtc and for doug. griff: doug, let me ask you what do you hope to do with this diploma? >> yes, sir. as you know in the national guard we sort of live two different lives. of course i have my military passions as well as myselfian career. but i do plan on getting back into the workforce in commercial construction. one day hopefully owning my own business down the road. pete: very cool, specialist, what is your mos in the military? what is your job.

so grateful to have you as friends today. griff: well, isn't that sweet. i ag.ee jedediah: you almost forgot me there, pete. pete: no, no, i was going to griff. 'cause in tv world you have to go from one person to the other. i'm just swaying to different cameras for the fun of it. hiding from you now, jed. of course national friendship day to jedediah bila. griff: well played, my friend, but we got to go, that opening state, hunter hayes, "once crazy crazy." tropical storm isaias inching closer to florida after slamming eastern parts of the state with heavy rain and wind. rick joins us from west palm beach. hey, rick. >> good morning, griff, pete, and jed, we're on palm beach now and the hurricane warnings we talked about yesterday have been replaced by tropical storm warnings because isaias has been downgraded to a tropical storm. i think the winds are around 65 miles an hour sustained with northwestern movement at 9 miles an hour. but it's a tropical storm. it's not a hurricane. and the worst of the weather is out over the ocean.

the beaches are all closed here up and down the florida coastline. you can see a padlock here and the signs are up. there's a reason for that. you can see the surf is very rough. we're told that we could examines 5- to 8-foot waves, maybe bigger throughout the the day, a storm surge of perhaps a lot of rain and flash flooding, but not near the conditions that were initially feared here along the florida coastline. so it's a positive story, but it's not over yet because the storm is just now starting to brush up along as as you're going to go all the waugh up the coast as you'll hear from rick reichmuth in a few amonuments. there are about a 150 people in palm beach county in shelters, separated because of coronavirus wearing masks. florida very used to rough weather and this is not really reaching the level of the kind of stuff that they've seen here.

another look at palm beach right now. you can see the rough surf. you can see the rough waves. and we've had some people out here taking pictures, but anybody who goes out on that beach, the police are pretty aggressive in making sure they get off of there so they don't get caught in one of these rough waves, guys. jedediah: thanks so much, rick leventhal live on the scene in florida. we're going to go from one rick to another 'cause now we're heading over to rick rei.hm jedediah: th. what is the latest? >> florida has been spared from significant hurricanes for a long time. it's good news because there's been so much population growth on the east coast since the last time they had a significant hurricane. this is another one of them we're going to be spared although take a look at this. this is radar image here and you see the last few images here, you start to see some lightning pop up so there is some storms that are brewing close to the center of the storm. that said, i still think it's battering a lot of conditions that are not going to make it favorable for any significant

growth. you can also kind of see that on the satellite representation. a little bit of growth going on in the storm right now. we'll see if that translates into anything. i'm pretty doubtful. we'll watch a lot of dry air to the north, you can see where the track is, that brawn air, that's dray air in the atmosphere. that going to be a problem. a lot a lot of wind shear that looks like it's going to continue to be in the area for the remainder of its track so it's hard to see this strengthening really at all before it moves towards the north and makes landfall. throughout the day today and into night we have the storm right across the coast skirting the coastline of florida and then move in towards tomorrow, take a look at that, monday night into tuesday morning, monday to later afternoon we possibly have a storm making landfall somewhere around the carolinas and across the northeast. around the shore we'll see swath of three to five inches of rain and localized flooding. pete: rick, thank you very much. we move from florida up to

capitol hill where we reported yesterday there was a meeting during the day between senator schumer, speaker pelosi, treasury secretary mnuchin, and chief of staff mark meadows. they're trying to hammer out a covid-19 relief bill. they may as well be on different planets when it pertains to how much to spend and where to to spend it. they emerged saying the meeting was productive, maybe a glimmer of hope at a time when we're not seeing much of anything that looks hopeful. here's schumer and mnuchin on the meeting they had yesterday. >> well, this was the longest meeting we had, and it was more productive than the other meetings. we had a serious discussion and went down piece by piece and saw where each side was at. we're not close yet, but it was a productive discussion. now each side knows where we're at. >> i think we would also characterize the discussions as the most productive we've had to date. we went through a long list of policy issues on our side, on

their side, as we suggested in the past. there's clearly a subset of issues where we both agree on very much. pete: griff, "productive" is a big time code word in washington washington. doesn't mean anything's settled and it certainly feels like the urgency is there from republicans and the white house. they don't want people to suffer suffer. they don't want these benefits to end. democrats feel like they can hold out. they think ultimately more money is in their interests. griff: that's exactly right. when i hear secretary mnuchin say there's progress and it's been productive and they're agreeing on things, i'm curious what exactly it is. because, remember, speaker pelosi at every step of this to include going into yesterday's meeting said we're not interested in short-term deal and really indicating that she's not going to budge. we had senator rick scott on the show earlier who said, look. the democrats really had no sense of urgency because they're trying to take advantage of this this. here's what the senator said. >> the democrats have no urgency urgency.

last week they blocked an extension of the unemployment benefits at the current level and they also blocked a level saying competent people at two-thirds their compensation. they blocked both of those. so the democrats have no sense of urgency. they want to bail out -- they want florida taxpayers to pay for new york or illinois or california prior pension problems, prior bad budgets and stuff like that. i mean, this is just a grab bag for democrats taking advantage of a crisis and trying to spend every dime you have. somebody is going to pay for this down the road. i want to make sure we take care of people but don't waste your money. griff: i don't know, jed. sound like anything's going to get done? i think i'm with pete being a pessimist here. jedediah: i don't know. my patience is slim to none when it comes to politicians on this particular issue. and i think democrats do want to capitalize on this moment. they want more money going to certain cities and states. they're hanging on and they think that if something doesn't happen that the president and the current administration will take the blame for it which they're all too happy to see

happen particularly in an election season. i think it's pretty despicable particularly when they're talking about relief for people around the country who have lost business, struggling to pay mortgages and bills. they don't have time to wait for politicians dillydally. when i see these press conferences, basically, i don't have any patience. multiple times now republicans have come to them and said, hey, what about this? what about this temporarily? let's provide the relief and have a bigger discussion about this other financing. they're going to keep saying "no" and people will be aware of who is responsible for the delay and it's not going to be good for them. pete: yeah, it feels like they want the chaos and the pain and the lockdowns right until november 3rd because it serves their interests. i think voters are smarter than that and we'll see through, we'll see what happens. but on to another topic. you know, sports have restarted in very different ways across this country and you'll remember we covered on this program years ago it started with colin kaepernick but there were a few people, one or two taking a knee

protesting various forms of social justice while the national anthem played. well, a lot has changed and this year everyone is kneeling in athletic sports, it seems, except for hockey and a few others. but not everyone. i shouldn't say everyone because jonathan isaac of the orlando magic a couple days ago stood during the anthem, and recently the center for the miami heat, meyers leonard yesterday stood for the national anthem, put his hand over his heart, was asked why he did, when everyone else kneeled, and here's what he said said. he said, "i'm with the black lives matter movement, and i love and support the military and my brother and the people who have fought to defend our rights in this country. i can't fully comprehend how our world literally and figuratively has turned into black and white. there's a line in the sand, so to speak. if you're not kneeling, you're not with us, and that's not true true." guys, he went to talk about how his patriotism runs deep his brother bailey served two tours in afghanistan with the marines. he says that some people understand that kneeling is not about the flag and the military

but at him it is. it's real experience and raw emotion. i think it's men like him who are showing courage in this moment to cut against the grain. he says he's good, good relationship with his teammates, he's talked about it, but ultimately he believed respect for that anthem and that flag demands that he stand. griff: yep. leonard standing for he believes is right and i'm sure we'll see more of that in the coming season if the season continues. meanwhile, biden supporters telling the former vice president, don't debate trump. former governor mike huckabee has been on the debate stage before. he will sound off next. ♪

♪ >> they will see all of this nonsense from him. he will take the truth and destroy it. and biden will be in the position of correcting him over and over and over again. i don't think he should give them that platform. jedediah: with less than 100 days until the election, joe biden's supporters are urging him to stay off the debate stage stage. fox news contributor mike huckabee joins me now. mike, welcome to the show, as always. so what do you think? is that sound advice for joe biden, "you know what, joe? just stay off the stage." >> well, if i were joe biden i'd want to stay off the stage. there's no way he can stand on the page with president trump and survive. i thought it was just hilarious, though, that the person who is giving that advice was no less than joe lockhart who is the spokesman for, let's see, the only president in american history that actually admitted

to perjury, lying under oath, and lost his law license because of it. that's a real amazing moment. and the fact is that if joe biden can't stand up to donald trump on a debate stage running for president, what kind of president would he be standing up to the president of china, or would he just cave in? what kind of president would he be standing up to angela merkel and nato and say you guys got to pay up and pay your fair share. our president did that. and guess what? it worked. or stand up to president putin. while the democrats say the president hasn't, he has more than any president, put heavy sanctions on them. so it's just a way to try to justify joe pulling out the debates because they know that it would be a cratering moment for him. jedediah: yeah, governor, i mean his handlers are deeply concerned, it's very clear, about him speaking about more things, particularly in an un unfiltered setting like a debate stage where we have president trump thrive. but the question is do voters care?

will they look at this and see it for what it is, or will they just say, you know what? we're in the midst of a pandemic, it's not a great time to have a debate, that's what's actually going? how will voters register this? >> well, to quote the great philosopher woody allen who said that 90% of success is showing up, joe's got to show up. i mean, you can't run for president, you can't be president and just say, "y'all let me know when this is all over 'cause right now i'm in my heidi hole. i plan to stay there until this all blows over." no, it doesn't work like that. so, yeah, he's got to show up. and if he doesn't, and if he chickens out of the debate and refuses to go to the stage with president trump, then i think it really hurts him because even people that might be inclined to vote for him are going to say, we need a president who is not afraid of the potential opponents he faces whether it's donald trump or some other world leader or whether it's a national crisis. you just don't get to go hide every time there's something that goes wrong.

jedediah: you know, mike, many have argued that the lack of rallies right now because of the pandemic have hurt president trump because that is where he thrives. he gets out to these rallies, these debate forums, he speaks his mind. he's unfiltered. that's what people like. that i would say is what helped him the last time around. so what can he do to make up for that, the president? >> well, i think it's going to have to be a shift to different kinds of addresses. the rallies were critically important. and i hope that there's a point at which he can get back to some level of the rallies that are safe. but in the mean time, buying time, the networks are not going to give him any kind of time, and if he speaks they cut him off and it's unbelievably biased and unfair. but buy time and speak directly to the american people and give them a message about the empathy that he has for what they're going through, help them to understand what he's done, because, once again, jedediah,

the media has totally missed and misled about the steps the president has taken during this covid crisis. that's what i think he could do and it would be very effective. jedediah: yeah, i think it would be effective and very important, particularly now when so many people are struggling and in need of leadership. i for one am hoping for at least one debate because i think it would make for great tv. thanks so much, governor, as always. >> talk to you later. jedediah: appreciate it. a reporter is counting her blessings after a viewer spotted a lump on her neck while she was on tv that turned out to be cancer. that reporter joins us live next next. the sleep number 360 smart bed is on sale now. can it help keep me asleep? absolutely, it intelligently senses your movements and

life. >> griff, you know, it's such an incredible story, and i've had such an outpouring of people from all across the globe reach out to me now and say this story is incredible but what i think is honestly more incredible about this is it's far more common than people think whether it's a viewer randomly reaching out to me, whether it's somebody at a restaurant randomly reaching out to your daughter, it's way more common than i think really anyone realizes which is sadly probably the most incredible aspect of this whole scenario. griff: well, and, victoria, you actually when you found out were debating whether you should even take it seriously and your boyfriend encouraged you, hey, go get it checked. >> right. you know, it didn't -- you know, i'm 28 years old, obviously very busy, young, working professional, something like cancer was the last thing to cross my mind and, you know, the email i figured, oh, this is maybe just some weirdo. i don't know how valid this is. i considered disregarding it. i really didn't feel like anything was severely wrong with me. i was tired, fatigued.

i chalked it up to the pandemic and the crazy world we've been living in plus my job the last few months. so i'm really glad that i was encouraged to go get it checked out because had i not received that email, had i not gone to the doctor, who knows what would have happened. griff: well, thank god it turned out well and thank god you listened. thank goodness we took it serious with my daughter. in the time we have left next month is thyroid cancer awareness month, september is. do you hope to raise awareness now? >> i do. like you said, i have heard some people literally all across the world who have reached out, have been moved by my story either they're survivors themselves or just hearing my story encouraged them to go to their doctor which are the most fabulous messages to receive, and there's already been so much awareness and momentum that we've built up right now that i'm actually working to launch a foundation that will help to raise awareness about thyroid cancer.

it's one of the most common cancers in women. it is the most common cancer in young women. and we don't talk about that enough. i'm going to be starting a foundation to help raise that awareness. when life gets back to normal a foundation that will schedule screenings for young professional groups, sororities, fraternities, things like that. again this is so common but we don't talk about it nearly as much as we do so many other cancers that affect soci.ty griff: we don't and if caught early, the chances of full recovery from thyroid cancer is very, very strong. everyone should pay attention to that. victoria price, thank you for sharing your story here. we are glad you are well and we hope that you will continue to bring awareness to this issue. thank you, victoria. >> thank you so much, griff. appreciate it. griff: planning to reopen universities across the country are up in the air because of covid-19. what is the best course of action for students and staff? our panel of college administrators is here to discuss next. ♪

input from the broad university community. we have very detailed and specific protocols and policies. and as anxiety has increased, communication has become more important. and also responding to the situation as it developed. for instance, tomorrow we will begin to provide free testing to students, faculty, and staff that will go on six days a week for the next three weeks. but to your specific question, will students do it? in spite of all of our planning and policies, ultimately a lot of our success will depend on their behavior. what will they do when they're off campus? part of our medal will be to them that you must behave responsibly. and i have confidence that the students do share the concerns. they want to return to something normal. they understand our obligation to the community. and maybe i'm pollyannish, but i think they'll rise to the

occasion. pete: provost rogers, the great philosopher mike tyson said everyone has a plan 'til you get punched in the mouth. what will you do when that first case comes, which is inevitable? how do you take mitigation measures to make sure you keep kids on campus and don't have to pull back? >> so we have a very strong partnership with our local medical facility, and so we've already been working with them on our testing plans. so we will be doing daily symptoms checklists. so a student will begin to be quarantined if they get a red x, if they start to get early symptoms and immediately go into quarantining and then immediately be tested. and until they get the results back of their testing they will not be able to return to their class live. we also have set up a lot of remote classrooms so that a student could still be sitting in the guarantee and remote into their live class and be able to still participate in learning while we're waiting to see if their symptoms hold true and they do have a case and help

support them while they are in quarantine. pete: mr. robins, real quick, i know we still have a bit of a feedback. younger kids are more robust in their immune system. have you had pushback from faculty who maybe are more susceptible? >> yes, pete, we have had pushback. you know, i'm a recovering cardiac surgeon, and people questioning my ability to still have an m.d. degree because believing that i'm putting too many people at danger and at risk. but we're very confident that numbers in arizona, thanks to governor ducey, continue support of face covering and keeping bars and gyms closed, numbers are going down. we think this is going to get on a flat part of the curve within the next couple of weeks.

and 30,000 will come back to our campus. and we're the going to follow things very closely. i'm impressed with president frank at university of miami. he is a world-famous public health expert, dean of the college of public health at harvard, and minister of health for all of mexico. he's in the hottest spot in the world in miami-dade county, and he's opening his universities. so we're confident that we can get the students to follow the rules. if they don't, if things go out of control, then we'll have to ratchet things back and go all digitally. pete: robert, lawrence, and diana, i wish we had more time. and we'd like to have you back at some point as this unfolds and maybe we can do a little bit about curriculum as well. thank you all so much. good luck. >> thank you. thank you. pete: going to toss it over to rick who's tracking isaias. now it just rolls off the tongue tongue.

i didn't even get it right, did i? it's "isaias," and i just said it rolls off the tongue. i'm done. take it. >> and then it didn't. hey, i'm glad that you had the university of arizona guy instead of a.s.u. where i went because we would not be nearly as obedient at a.s.u. this is tropical storm isaias, just off the shore of florida, most of the action is to the east side. we kind of thought this would happen yesterday, and it's been the case. very heavy rain. lightning brewing right there, flare-ups, maybe a little bit of strengthening. i don't think that will be the case, the conditions ahead of the storm not favorable for any kind of additional strengthening and that's really good news. but you'll notice it's going to be very, very close to the florida coastline today, definitely a rough day today, stay out of the water. most of the beaches are closed. two to four feet of storm surge across some of the intercoastal waterways there. then as the storm pulls to the north by tomorrow late afternoon and early evening we probably

have a landfall of this storm across parts of south carolina, then moves in toward the northeast. all of this area especially from south carolina a swath up along the i-95 corridor is going to be looking at some rainfall totals three to five inches, will cause localized flooding, probably the worst we'll see from this storm. send it back to .ou jedediah: thanks so much, rick. heading over to some unrest in d portland. protesters throwing glass bottles at police. officers declaring an unlawful assembly, threatening to make arrests. oregon congressional candidate alec scarlatto joined us earlier said federal officers helped limit the protests. >> i really do think that the federal agents were doing a good job. we saw a lot of protests move to smaller cities. no one really agrees with what the protesters are doing. and i think it's time that we actually stand up and say so. jedediah: president trump is promising to keep federal officers in portland to, quote,

prepared. we don't know exactly where the track goes just yet. but south carolina is usually pretty prepared for these things things. griff: congressman, as a reporter that was in south carolina when biden essentially clinched the nomination, you played certainly a large role; so we've got to ask you today, now that we're all on running mate vp watch for biden, who is at the top of clyburn's list for biden to pick? >> all of the above. i know these people very well, the people who seem to be under consideration. i don't think he can go wrong with either one of them. so i do believe that biden will let his voting, his betting, his heart and head do what is proper and get it done the right way. griff: all right, congressman, let me just try one more time. would you agree that the frontrunner, kamala harris, has

really more experience leading when it comes to police and prison reform in her previous jobs in california? >> well, no, if i were to narrow it down to police reform, she was a presidential contender. that always helps. she has run statewide several times in california. and nothing can beat experience. she's well experienced, very capable. so are some of the others. everyone brings a lot of experience to the process and i think no matter what you do you'll find pluses and minuses with each and every one of them. what you have to do is try to outweigh the pluses and hope the pluses outweigh minuses. pete: congressman, as you know over the last couple of months we've seen riots in portland. thankfully the last couple nights the state police there have effectively been able to help protect the federal courthouse.

before that, president trump made it clear, we're going to send federal agents, law enforcement officers there to protect federal property as necessary. recently you made comments comparing those federal officers to the gestapo. why would you make such a comparison when what they're doing is their job to protect federal property? is that rhetoric not unhelpful as we're trying to make sure the streets are safe in a place like portland? >> well, you know, i know myself a little bit. i don't know if i ever compared what they're doing to the gestapo -- jedediah: it's right there in the transcript, sir, it's right there in the transcript. >> well, i said i don't think so so. maybe i did. i'm never one to think i never can many of you speak. but that is not to say that's not what i feel. what i do feel -- and i've said this -- what i said since in portland reminds me very much of

what i saw in aniston, alabama, in the sixties, and on the edmund pettus bridge back in the sixties where a state sponsored and supported terrorism was visited upon people who were protesting peacefully. pete: you're comparing the peaceful -- we all honor the peaceful protests of the 1960s. are you comparing the violence against law enforcement today, which is clear and obvious it's right there before all of us and the defensive measures law enforcement has take? everyone's for peaceful protests protests. they're burning bibles in portland instead of holding them on the bridge like the peaceful protesters did in the 1960s. thou make that comparison? >> well, i don't know anything about burning bibles. pete: that's another thing that's out there. >> everybody's got their own religion. and i know the koran, i know the koran, both the bible, new and old testaments very well, just because somebody may believe in the koran, that's their business

business. so burning a bible doesn't do anything about burning down a federal building. i don't know if i seen video of that or no. what federal building has been under threat? who attempted to burn a federal building? i saw -- i know what i saw in michigan. pete: it's been unfolding in oregon with all due respect, congressman, you may be watching other networks. it's been fireworks, molotov cocktails, explosions, attacks at officers night after night after night. look at the precinct in minneapolis that was burned by rioters that started a lot of this. ultimately we've seen violence against law enforcement. we can't just deny it. are they supposed to not defend themselves and defend federal property? >> look. they do defend themselves and i do defend them as well. but i don't defend agendas. we saw in minneapolis a guy dressed up as if he were black, all in black but knocking out windows. when they arrested them when

they found out he was a white supremacist disguising himself. and that's what's going on all over. pete: that's terrible. >> i've seen these movements. look, i was in these movements back in the sixties. i walked alongside john nelson and everybody else. we never resided. but there was rioting going on. "burn, baby, burn" was not us. somebody else, insurgents came in and saw that in order to subvert the movement. and that's what's going on here. black lives matter will not ever the people connected to that won't burn down any buildings. but the people who trying to incite stuff, the pretenders, not protesters, but pretenders will do anything. now, you saw that on the camera yourself. and you should have reported it. other places did. jedediah: congressman -- >> white supremacists -- jedediah: thank you so much for being here today. unfortunately we're out of time, but we thank you so much for being here. appreciate you. >> thank you. jedediah: and we have more fox & friends coming up on the other

a great time, for a great cause. going to raise some money to help veterans, to help the gi go fund and send a positive message message. this year we're going to do it a little different. going to open it up to all war fighters, all police officers, and all firefighters. 'cause we got nothing but love for all those who put it on the for our country. pete: amen. kenny, you're part of the navy recruiting warrior change, you're coordinator with the navy navy. got to imagine highlighting something like this is important for recruiting but really for honoring veterans as well. >> absolutely. so warrior challenge coordinator which means all of new york city northern new jersey, s.e.a.l., divers, air rescue, contact your local navy recruiter and they'll eventually put you in touch with me. i'm the active duty s.e.a.l. that is in charge of the physical screening test that's required for candidates to get a special contract and try out in the pipeline.

griff: bill, i got to jump in there for a little bit of preview, bill 37 how do you think pete will do this year for our viewers who may have forgotten last year, he had just a little bit of assistance in staying with the front pack. >> hey, i think pete's going to do great. he's got a lot of courage, it takes a lot of bravery to get out there, swim across one of the most dangerous rivers in the country, let alone with 33 plus navy s.e.a.l.s. pete: he did great indeed. jedediah: do you guys have any last minute tips for him this time around? >> the thing that helped me is remembering -- is he crossed green buoy number 35 i'm look at the freedom tower, i'm looking ground zero and i'm remembering why i'm out there in the first place. i'm remembering the t i myself and my troops took at ground zero before we went on our afghan deployment in 2012, 77 navy s.e.a.l.s started at ground zero and thought about where we were going and what was going to happen when we got

♪ pete: i believe that's the intrepid. i believe that's the hudson. that may not be a coincidence that we showed that shot. welcome to "fox & friends" on sunday morning, august 2nd. a week from today on saturday i'm swimming across the hudson river with the gi go fund with the navy seals. you were there for me last year. i know you'll be there again. i actually trained a little bit. griff: that was my question. what have you done?

pete: swimming in a pool is not the same as swimming in the dirty, wave-filled hudson river. you can't simulate loss floating past you or bodies. my stroke is better. better wind. i feel like i can hang with them this year. griff: i have my money on you. now you have the confidence that you can get it done. now it's easy. you're not going to be afraid of drowning or not making it. do you think he's been training that hard? jedediah: i think -- you set the expectations high, pete. you never do that. you have to set them low so if you do a mediocre job everyone is like oh, pete you're amazing. now that everyone knows you've been training, they're going to expect you to be up there with the seals. you better just do really well, or it's going to be really disappointing. pete: we'll see. i'll bring the expectations down. i just want to finish. we'll bring that next weekend. we begin with extreme weather, right now tropical storm isaias

making its way closer to florida after slamming eastern parts of the state with heavy rain and wind. recognize leventhal joins us live from palm beach with the conditions there. rick, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, guys. it's a blustery morning. we've had significant wind gusts and sporadic rainfall. up the coastline, the hurricane watches va have been replaced wh tropical storm watches because isaias was downgraded yesterday and has not regained that much strength. there are storm surge watches in effect. they're expecting a 2 to 4-foot storm surge from jupiter to jacksonville beach and along the coastline. the beaches in florida are closed. the surf is very violent out there and they don't want anyone getting anywhere near that. and the waves that are 5 to 8 feet could get bigger as the day goes on. they are expecting several inches of rain potentially from the storm. so there could be localized flooding as well. nothing as bad as they saw in

the islands, the dominica dominn republic and puerto rico got pretty hard. the bahamas got lashed by heavy rains, there were trees snapped and the power outages. the national guard had to rescue 35 people in puerto rico. the storm has moved over the ocean and the worst of the weather is over the ocean. we have 150 people in shelters in palm beach county. the state put 10,000 florida power and light workers on standby. if the weather stays like this, i don't think it will be too much of a concern. griff: rick, thank you. let's toss it over to rick reichmuth, tracking the storm. where is isaias now? isaias. griff even texted me tips on how to say it. griff: basically if you say buenos diaz and just say isaias.

>> when you come to say the word, you think you're going to get it out and then you stumble over it because you question it at the last second. so i get it, isaias. this is a list of names for the hurricane season. they come -- the national hurricane center comes up with the names, all the different countries that are impacted in the atlantic basin submit the names. 21 names on the list, we're already nine of them in. we're two months into hurricane season and a long ways to go. this is how the hurricane season goes. you see the activity here, not that much right up until about right now and then we get a spike in september. so a lot of action yet ahead. we had hanna last weekend. it was a 90-mile-an-hour hurricane making landfall in south texas. this is now tropical storm isaias. i don't think we're going to have a landfall from this across parts of florida. we're going to see this brush, one thing to note a little bit of a jog towards the north pulling a little further away from the florida coastline is

good news. we'll probably see a jog backwards. we do have storm surge concerns, 2 to 4 feet. if you're in an area, you should know how your area reacts to that kind of a storm surge. we will have a little bit of an impact from florida, then to georgia, south carolina, north carolina as well. precipitation will probably be our biggest impact from this, not necessarily across florida. once you get further towards the north, this is tomorrow afternoon, into tomorrow night. storm making landfall likely in south carolina to north carolina. now this isn't an exact feature here where you see this color but there will be some area, maybe a little bit to the west, a little bit to the east, some sprouts 3 to 5 inches of rain, maybe localized, maybe more than that. this is the i-95 corridor from d.c. up to new york, really significant rain on tuesday, into tuesday evening. we'll watch for flooding all the way up across parts of the northeast. all right, guys, isaias. back to you jedediah: rick

reichmuth, thanks so much as always. we appreciate it. we've been talking quite a bit on this show about calls growing to dismantle the police, to defund the police departments in many cities around the country. unfortunately. and we've been talking about what's going to happen if that happens, what will be the result? we're seeing it right now because big cities are seeing a major spike in crime. let's look at numbers right now. we begin with chicago. chicago homicides, 433 murders so far this year, 284 at the same point in 2019, look at that comparison. 52% increase year to year. that's a very big number, 52%. new york city shootings, 777 so far in 2020 alone. 776 in all of 2019. so we're seeing the impact of this and this should be no surprise to anyone when you have an absence of police or you have a lot of police retiring or you have the inability of police to do the job in the way they know they need to do it because

they're not backed up by local politician, by mayors, by governors, this is what you have. in addition, side-by-side with the coronavirus and the shutdown of so many businesses that have left many cities empty. you have store fronts closed, people vacated. you saw a lot of looting and a lot of crime that overtook the regions, particularly in places like new york city where bill de blasio decided to stop being mayor and to paint black lives matter signs on the street as opposed to doing his job he was elected to do. we're seeing the result now. cities around the country should your city next. this is not going to be confined to a few localities. pete: these numbers are jarring. these are american citizens under siege in their neighborhoods. you should never have to live like this. problem is, democrats live in a state of denial. we just had democrat representative jim clyburn on the program. he denied that there were any

violent protests in portland, oregon, where we've seen courthouses under sewage and law enforcement officers -- under siege and law enforcement officers attacked. why would you not -- why wouldn't you support defunding the police if you think this is the answer. so when you demoralize the police, by defunding them, what's their incentive to go out and proactively police vulnerable communities where they could prevent crimes from happening or lose their lives or be blamed or taking a life. so they step back. the criminals take over. and violence goes up. it's a cycle that is unfortunately predictable. democrats and joe biden doing nothing about it. he's the chaos candidate. hasn't said anything about it. unfortunately, griff, when it comes to democrat leadership, they're talking about cracking down just not on crime. griff: yeah, it's unclear whether governor cuomo in new york is in denial as you say but he's certainly not looking for the nypd to deal with the surging crime.

here is what he had to say about telling officers they need to step up on covid crackdowns. >> local governments have to step up. some are doing better than others. last night there were 41 establishments that were given violations, two in the bronx, one in brooklyn, five in queens, three in nassau, two in suffolk, 27 in manhattan, 27 in manhattan. we need the nypd to step up and do enforcement. griff: without a question, in 93 days the election, this call to defund police, to get rid of law and order essentially is going to be on the ballot without a doubt. but, you know, when you look at whereby dewhere biden is, as u mentioned, he hasn't spoken out on this. we look forward to the debates.

we have three coming from september to october. joe lockhart, the press secretary for bill clinton during the impeachment is weighing in, saying biden should not do the debate. here's what he said yesterday. >> if the president is watching this right now, i could see him rubbing his hands together and saying oh, my god that, would be perfect because then i of course get to say he's afraid to get on the stage with me, it those do with his cognitive abilities. >> well, he will say that, it's worth the risk. debates are very different. this is the one thing -- now that we're not going to have conventions, where the public will tune in, 50, 60 million people. and they will see all of this nonsense from him. he will take the truth and destroy it. and biden will be in the position of correcting him over and over and over again. i don't think he should give him that platform jedediah: you guys see the parallel of this. you have joe biden's handlers

saying please, no, joe can't debate. he can't answer tough questions. he's backing out. you have andrew cuomo throwing up a magnifying glass to businesses, says nothing about the massive protests and massive looting that's gone on in the way of supporting law enforcement in any reasonable way. this is what has become of the democratic party. every reasonable democrat should be standing up and rallying against this. because if you love your country and i'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you do, you should not be watching it, going into complete disarray with a vice presidential candidate who doesn't have the guts to get on stage and fight for what he believes in and articulate what he believes in and governors around the country that are refusing to do their job, it's a horrific state the party this. pete: you know they have no confidence in their candidate. trump supporters would say let's do 1,000 debates if you can, confident that his grasp of the issues, track record on the economy before the china virus arrived, he's ready to talk

about it. but joe biden, i mean, your top democrat advisors are saying you shouldn't debate. please, stay in your basement and cross your fingers and your shadow vice president the vp hopefully will be articulate enough to mobil mobilize and ene people. we'll push for mail-out ballots for voters and hope to get additional help that way. that's why you see skepticism from supporters of the president, saying we have to have to have them early. o less than that. i think that's the line the president must maintain. biden can't stay in his basement and be elected president jedediah: jo go joe biden fror perspective shouldn't debate. it's very sad that would be your only choice for a candidate, someone who doesn't have the occurring or the ability to hold a debate. we're going to turn to headlines. overnight, the search is

called off for seven marines and a sailor, they're presumed dead after going missing last week when their military vehicle sank off california's coast. 16 service members were on-board and one marine died. eight others were rescued and two of them are in critical condition. the white house and democrats appearing optimistic following talks on coronavirus relief. >> we're not close yet but it was a productive discussion. now each side knows where they're at. >> i think we would also characterize the discussions as the most productive we've had to date jedediah. jedediah: the talks focused on whether to extent the $600 a week bonus to unemployment benefits that expire this week. meanwhile, arizona congressman rule grihala testing positive for coronavirus. the gop convention now closing to the press over covid-19 p restrictions. it will be live-streamed from charlotte, north carolina later this month. the usda identifying some of the mysterious seeds sent from

china. officials say they include flowers like roses, as well as vegetables and herbs. only 14 seeds have been identified. they've been sent to seemingly random homes across the u.s. since last month. anyone who receives the seeds are urged not to plant them and to report them to local officials. those are your headlines. this is the first i am hearing of the seeds and that is deeply disturbing. griff: if anyone watching gets them, just throw them out. pete: i would be tempted to plant them in a pot. anyway, don't do that, people. griff: americans are gear to et back to work. one wall street investors is calling on the business toss reopen their doors asap, he joins us next.

right with employees working remotely and i think that may be true some degree, there's they'e certainly functioning although i doubt very much that it's optimal. either way, the part that's being ignored is the impact to all those downstream throughout the city, the dry cleaners, the of coffee shops, the restaurants, there's a total ecosystem that's being ignored. now, i know and you know, pete, that the mayor isn't going to do anything about that. the leadership has to come from these very capable and resourceful business leaders. the idea that their businesses can just sort of stay reasonably shut down all the way through the end of the year is untenable and i want them to have the social responsibility to bring their people back sooner. pete: how do they get past the litigation aspect, the fear that they would be putting their employees at risk by bringing them back? why take the risk? and when there's no political leadership as well? >> well, let's just sort of

pretend for a moment there won't be liability reform in the bill that will end up coming out of congress and the white house which i very much believe there will be. the fact of the matter is, there isn't drift exposure when you're following cdc guidelines. nobody has the capability of following the guidelines more than the biggest, richest companies in the world. so implementing the logistics of social distancing, of hygiene, of masks, elevators, all the sort of protective elements that are out there, if anyone can do it, it's these companies and they know it. pete: that's a goo it's always big business that can navigate big government. it's the smaller guys that have -- real quick, exit he question. do you see new york city rebounding in 2020? >> i have no doubt in my mind that the heart and spirit of new york city is going to rebound. we lived through 9/11. we lived through worse than this. and the city will rebound. we need business leaders to stip, to accelerate that for the sake of all members of the

economy and our society. pete: david bonson, we shall see. it could look a lot different, though. we appreciate that, your argument and the letter, sharing it with us. still ahead, she made history on the racetrack, now danica patrick is joining a new team to help our heroes. she joins us live with lieutenant colonel dan rooney from folds of honor, coming up next. ♪ let the good times roll. ♪ let the good times roll. ♪ look here, it's your very own all-in-one

folds of honor, an organization providing scholarships to spouses and children of fallen and disabled service members, donates for a chance to win. jedediah: renowned retired race car driver danica patrick and founder of folds of honor, lieutenant colonel dan rooney joins us now. danica, tell us a little about it. a trip to paris sounds amazing to me. >> yeah, i can assure you the trip will be phenomenal. i've actually never been to the monaco grand prix it c itself. i'm excite todd go too. -- excited to go too. you'll be on the danica rose yacht on the best area to watch it, the exclusive area to watch it. all the rose you can manage and amazing food and the sights and sounds and we partnered with elmaze to help folds of honor

which is a cool element to this. so, yeah, it's a very cool promotion. it ends september 29th. have you to register by then, put your donation in. i think i've had almost every friend of mine say is there a way you can rig this so i win. [ laughter ] pete: that sounds amazing. dan rooney, i'm guess you're trying to keep it fair, above board. don't let danica's friends get in there. how did you end up teaming up with danica? >> danica and i go back to the folds of honor quick trip 500 in atlanta where we met at chapel service. we share that in common, a love for god and obviously her love of country, supporting folds of honor. we are so blessed and for us at folds of honor our mission is unwavering, that is to honor the sacrifice of our men and women killed or disabled in combat by providing education to their families. it's been a rough year for

folds. we just awarded $16 million in scholarships and you would never say wow, that's a rough year. but we had about 15 million in unfunded qualified applications from families who have had someone killed or disabled defending our freedoms and that's why this promotion with danica and rose are so important to not leave any family behind on the field of battle. you can search omaze, danica, for information on how to bid. all of those are going to go back to provide scholarships for military families who are truly in need. i'm going to correct danica. there's not enough rose on that yacht for you, pete, so you cannot bid on this. [ laughter ] pete: i will be bidding and i will expect a fair process. colonel dan, every time i think you have a great promotion, you up your game yet again. you've done this with danica.

what is it about military families and those who serve that make you so passionate about this partnership. >> i think you have to ask what do you love about living here in america. it reflects back to the country that we get to live in and the privileges we have and the opportunities that we have, whether it be to express yourself in any way that you want or to go to school for whatever you want or wear whatever you want. it's just a wonderful country. and it's the military that gives us the opportunity to live in this great country. so anything that we can do to give back and support those who give us this awesome country is a good thing for me. jedediah: danica, remind us where people can go to enter. >> omaze.com slas e.com/danica. jedediah: you're going to find pete there, i'm peelin telling . pete: if i don't win, i expect a bottle of rose or one or two

i don't see it. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

because missing menb vaccination could mean missing out on a whole lot more. ask your doctor if your teen is missing meningitis b vaccination. >> we're not planning on going anywhere. we appreciate the support. we're here for the long run. and continue to share your voice here and let's dance to tiktok. when it comes to safety and security, we're building the safest app. we know it's the right thing to do. jillian jedediah: tiktok executives saying they're not going anywhere. let's bring in congressman devin nunes to weigh in on that. do you think tick toke should be -- tiktok should be banned? >> absolutely. go back to 2016. remember we were concerned about foreign influence in our election. we spent tens of millions of dollars to discover on facebook that the russians had spent

millions of dollars that went against trump, went for trump. tiktok is from china. any company that's in china, over 50% of it is owned by the chinese communist party. if you want your data, your it's' data, all of that information to end up in the hands of the chinese, not to mention the fact, what if the chinese decide to run a propaganda operation into this year's election. that would be very, very disturbing and we would have zero control over it. we wouldn't be able to do an investigation. they wouldn't turn over any information. so there's a reason why the indian government has banned this. there's a reason why our defense department is not letting our military men and women in uniform use this. and i think for one, we should all as americans not be using an app like this. pete: we're going to get in a moment to the type of bias we see from american tech companies against conservatives. imagine what the communist

chinese can, would and will do, wielding the same power. some people have -- this is not what it's about for president trump. but some people have opined about vide whether or not this l have an influence on voters in 2020. young people that use tiktok, you think there would be enough information about why it should be banned. there's only one person that is tough on the communist chinese who have a different dream than we do, it has nothing to do with freedom. >> look, pete, one thing i haven't heard -- this has been out for 48 hours and you've heard the secretary of state pompeo, he's been talking about this for several weeks. what have we not heard? we haven't heard a peep from the biden campaign. we haven't heard anything from the democrat leadership in the house or the senate. i think that's very, very telling. for whatever reason, they're scared to take on the chinese communist party. i don't know why. but i know that donald trump and republicans are willing to do it. griff: congressman, let me pick

up what pete was talking about. on wednesday, the heads of amazon, google, facebook, all taking a brow-beating from both sides of the aisle, really you had the issue of silencing, censoring conservative voices, you had experience personally in this yourself firsthand. so what now? what comes out of that hearing we saw? will they be -- with thrill be recommendations? will there be laws? >> well, look, the easy thing to do would be to pass and change the law so they can't censor us. but you have to remember, the censoring always goes against conservatives. so the only thing we can do between now and the election, and what i like to call this -- this is a -- you have 90% of the content being shoveled through this disinformation funnel that ends up right here on our devices. so what i tell people is you really have to practice good hygiene. and that means that you have to join places like parler which is

essentially like an instagram and twitter combo, that's a great company to be a part of. i try to not do anything on youtube. now there's a channel called rumble. so it's learning the sites that aren't going to steal your data, aren't going to censor your content, especially skeans sore conservatives -- censor conservatives, that's my recommendations to the viewers out there today. jedediah: what do you say to those that acknowledge the problem of big tech potentially silences conservatives but are worried about big government coming in and potentially censors big tech? >> well, look, the challenge is, we have given them -- the government has given them a really good deal that i think is being abused and i think the court should step in and not give them this good deal. so in fact, it's the opposite. these guys get a special deal because of the government that, for example, you don't get. there's certain things that you can't say right now on the air because your company would get

in trouble. but yet the internet companies can skeans sore and do -- censor and do whatever they want. tiktok can do whatever they want because they're housed in china. that's going to be the problem moving forward. we can't have tech companies, big tech oligarchs that control so much of our daily lives, have a special deal that most americans don't enjoy. pete: tech companies believe they can have it both ways, they can be neutral platforms, also publishers and have consequences for neither. that's what a lot of folks are pointing out. congressman devin nunes, thank you for being here. let's toss it out to rick reichmuth who is tracking the storm that we cannot -- rick. >> isaias. that's the way we do it. yeah, so 65-mile-an-hour storm, satellite representation getting a bit of a flare-up of storms right here. i don't think that's going to translate in the short term into any real significant strengthening of the storm. you do notice that we're also beginning some wind reports,

free port bahamas, 62-mile-an-hour winds that we have right there. we've been seeing in the 40 range across parts of florida. you notice the arrow bar towards fort lauderdale, we're starting to see an offshore wind. the center of the storm is to the north of that. that circulation will change the wind direction. to the north of that, that's where we'll see the storm surge and the rain continuing throughout the day. one model depiction keeps most of the rain, that's a good guess here, most of the rain off the coast of florida. where we'll likely see significant rain is south carolina and points nort northw. this is the official track of the storm. by monday evening, a landfall somewhere in south carolina and north carolina. then it tracks to the northeast. all right, guys. back to you. pete: rick, that. you've encouraged me to look up the next storm names, josephine, carl, marco, going to get easier on the pronunciation

front. >> this is a rough one for the year. pete: a massive wildfire forcing more than 8,000 people to evacuate overnight. the apple fire has burned 15,000 acres and there is zero percent containment. new time lapse video captured fire and smoke growing east of los angeles. at least one home and two buildings have been destroyed. the cause of the fire is unknown. to the garden state, new jersey governor phil murphy is expected to sign a bill allowing illegal immigrants to obtain work licenses. the bill would take effect immediately if it becomes law. supporters say the legislation would address labor shortages in high demand areas like healthcare. opponents argue it allows illegals to compete for jobs that could go to u.s. citizens. drew brees expressing remorse over his remarks.

he said players to kneel during the national anthem disrespected the flag. he said he should have spoken up about inequality instead. >> i had the opportunity to talk about social injustices that exist for our black community and my lack of awareness in that moment hurt a lot of people. pete: brees says his teammates accepted his apology. remember when we showed you this video last week, it shows a bear wheeling a full trash can from a driveway in florida. well, the summer weather was unbearable for this animal. a buries spotted taking a dip in a hot tub. he's just kicking back. in another one, he's seen wrestling pool toys. this is happening in a pool in connecticut. those are your headlines. how about that? the bears just want to play, pete. pete: yeah, they do. he looked friendly. mama bear may be a little close.

i'm still hung up -- i love drew brees, i'm disappointed in his backtrack. apple and amazon racing toward $100 billion in revenue this quarter as thousands of small businesses suffer during covid-19. maria bartiromo on what it means for the overall economy, that's next. ♪ we see you. looking out...for all of us. and though you may have lost sight of your own well-being, aetna never did. we're always here to help you focus on your health. because it's always, time for care. >> techand your car., we're committed to taking care of you >> tech: we'll fix it right with no-contact service you can trust. >> tech: so if you have auto glass damage, stay safe with safelite. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ for our families and for our communities. when we spend taxpayers' money, we should use it to buy american products and support american jobs.

griff: coming up next hour on sunday morning futures, secretary of state mike pompeo and wisconsin senator ron johnson, one topic on everyone's mind, coronavirus impact on the u.s. economy. jedediah: while small bringses businesses across the country suffer, a new report shows apple and amazon are beating expectations and could hit $100 billion in revenue in the december quarter. pete: looking forward to that interview with the secretary of state. here to break it down sunday morning futures host, maria bartiromo. thanks for being here. so these tech giants, the big

guys do well under big government often while the little guys are left wondering how they manage through the day. >> maria: well, you're right. isn't that a head scratcher. last week we saw boffo earnings from all of these companies, they crushed expectations. during the coronavirus shutdown, the digital economy penetrated even further. and for those of us who were not ordering delivery beforehand we sure are now and as a result companies like amazon, apple, google, all did really well over the last six months in their quarterly numbers and as a result, their stocks keep going up and their market values keep going up. here's what i'm hearing about the stimulus package as relates to small business. i've got news for you guys. apparently some of the things that they are talking about in terms of the ppp program, there's already $115 billion left in the ppp program. they're going to add money to that. what they're going to do is really target those small companies that you're talking about.

if a company can prove that their revenue was down year over year by 5 50%, they will be eligible to get money from the ppp. they're trying to zero in on those small companies that really did not get the money that they needed in the last tranche of the ppp, because some of those larger companies were asking for money and as a result, some of them actually had to give it back. so they're putting requirements in, this is what's being talked about in this phase four stimulus package, that you will have to prove that your revenue was down 50%. then you'll be eligible for the ppp money. that's a little news nugget i just found out. thought i would pass it on. pete: you have secretary pompeo on this morning. what do you want to talk to him about? >> maria: we're talking about the china threat and what we see happening now is the u.s. making a huge move yesterday in announcing sanctions against one main company that is where the

uyghurs are locked up. we'll get more on those sanctions from secretary pompeo, see if he's expecting retaliation from china. also we want to get his thoughts on tiktok, you spoke with devin nunes about it. the secretary has important things to say about the espionage campaign going on from china in our country. we have breaking news coming up this morning on the probe into the russia investigation. we'll talk with senator ron johnson about that. and then we thought we would go to the middle. many of us out there are really hanging out in the middle. we agree with many things on the republican side, we also agree with some things on the left in terms of certain policies. jeff van drew is right there in the middle. he left the democrats to become a republican. going to find out what he has to say about all of this going on. and do the democrats have a problem with china? increasingly you're seeing them say no, no, no, we don't, we're not going to vote for this big, we're not going to vote for that bill. there's 150 bills in congress right now, trying to keep

congress accountable. what is it about china and the democrats. we'll get into it. jedediah: maria bartiromo, great show coming up. we can't wait to watch, maria. thanks so much. >> see you in 10 minutes. jedediah: sounds good. the summer heat is extreme. competition in the cooler market is apparently ice cold. so is an expensive cooler worth the price? that is the question of the day. kurt the cyber guy will test the top coolers to see which is best to beat the heat. stay tuned. ♪ ice, ice, baby. ♪ vanilla ice, ice, baby. ♪ now that the party is jumping. ♪ kraft. for the win win. book two separate qualifying stays and earn a free night.

pete: how much would you pay

for an ice cold beer? and to answer that question i go to the "fox & friends" beer correspondent griff jen kins. griff: there's no amount i wouldn't pay. yeti coolers, some are priced as high as $800. they promise to keep your drinks cold. jedediah: that's steep. how do pricey coolers compare to their less expensive competition? our very own kurt knutsson, the cyber guy, he tested four brand name coolers so find out which are best to beat the heat. what did you discover? is it worth the big price tag? >> good morning to you. pete, griff, all right, there's two things. one, rick sent me this. salt lake city, 103 degrees today, phoenix, 113, manchester, 91. it is hot in america. if you're in florida, you're being told, hey, you might lose your power so what do you need? you need a cooler to stay cool. is it worth this? let's start with theic loo.

we put -- the igloo. here's the criteria. three days ago, loaded up with two thirds ice, one-third content. this is what's left with the igloo max cold 50, that sells for $74.99. it says it lasts for five days. i don't think we're going to make five days in a normal setting. this one is the high performance one, the polar bear hard 45. it's the kind of thing that will last the rest of your life. and it also says it will do five days. i think i'm not only going to get five days here but the last time we used one of these hard coolers, i forgot to unload it. eight days later, i opened it up, there was still ice inside. clearly, that's the winner on the hard side. now, we've all heard of yeti, $249.99 for this, it's the latest trend. it's a soft cooler that people love. and the -- ones that open up on the top. what i find is it is really good quality. the zipper is hard as heck to

open. did it make it? three days later, it says it lasts for three days, it's cold. there's ice in there. yeah, this is a winner. this one, though, is the same quality if not better. this is from polar bear, the topper 20. it just got introduced. yes, there's ice in there, really good performance on this, pockets on it, super good quality. is it $249.99? no. this is why i love them. this is for fox viewers $149.96. how did we get that price? if you go to polarbearcoolers.com, he said if i win or lose this challenge you could still get the 25% off if you put in code fox at polarbearcoolers.com. then, when i was getting ready for this, guys, i was thinking i could order a bunch of beer. i love beer. aren't you in the mindset where you're trying new things? so i don't know, this whole thing made me try new -- so i saw this in the neighborhood. they moved in a brewery down the

street, flying embers from ohi, california, born from the fires that swept through california. they mix botanicals with, for example, hard seltzer. they're known for this, the hard kombucha which is amazing from flying embers. this is the mango coconut which will wake up and make life a little less boring right now. pete:.griff: how about that. thanks, kurt, the cyber guy. pete: i like those too, the lights. >> these are chinese lanterns. pete: very cool. jed, i've got to say, you turned me on to the kombucha. now there's hard kombucha. more "fox & friends" coming up right after this. ♪
