troops, 9:00 p.m. here on the fox news channel. 9:00 p.m. eastern and that's how fox reports this saturday august 8th, 2020. i'm jon scott, thank you for joining us. we will see you again ♪. pete: welcome to "fox & friends." it is sunday, august 6th, year of other lord 2020. i'm glad you're here just like jedediah and griff are here. i used my muscles like never before in a brand new way. we'll use it like never before. yesterday's seal swim.

we didn't get you what actual happened at the end. it was, it was dicey, guys. jedediah: you're here today the spoiler, pete, you survived poet pete that was the goal. that was the goal. griff: i i want a full accountig how difficult or easy it was. showed you the shot of you, kind of lollygag gag jumping in. didn't seem like it beat you up. pete: you always lollygag until the current set in. the current were worse than last year. i wouldn't be here today. griff: while you were swimming the president had plans to take matters in his hands on covid-19 relief. the president bypassing congress, signing several executive orders. we break down the benefits as democrats get ready to put aup a fight. hey, lauren. reporter: good morning. we're nine days after federal

protections for evictions expired and that boosted unemployment. still we have no deal on capitol hill. yesterday president trump signed four executive orders. let me show you what they are. the $400 per week supplemental unemployment payments rather than the 600 and a portion may be covered by states. a student loan relief extension. eviction protections, payroll tax holiday for annual incomes under $100,000. president trump: we didn't think we would have to do this. we thought the democrats would be reasonable. they have been only unreasonable, they have been ridiculous. reporter: however, democrats on capitol hill say the president is walking away from negotiations. speaker nancy pelosi and senate minority leader chuck schumer writing instead of putting in the work to solve americans problems the president instead chose to stay on his luxury golf course to announce unworkable, weak, narrow policy announcements to slash the

unemployment benefits millions desperately need. while former vice president joe biden and the presumptive democratic nominee saying this is no "art of the deal." this is not presidential leadership. these orders are not real solutions. they are just another cynical ploy to sign, designed to deflect responsibility. now democrats have lowered their initial asking price for another coronavirus relief bill. originally they were asking for $3.4 trillion. they now lowered that to $2 trillion. republicans want to stay around the one trillion dollar mark. guys? jedediah: thanks, so much, lauren. in response to joe biden these are solutions. no question about it. talking about he deferment of loan payments, payroll tax holiday. this is not secret to anyone i don't like executive orders. i am not a big fan of them, i dent like a precedent, stalemate

in congress, executive order is the way things are done. there is way to agree democrats held this hostage. they have held this hostage. they want their big package. they're holding out. as a result the american people are suffering. simultaneously the concerns about a precedent that exists whereby you have a funding crisis. the president and congress can't come to terms a executive order comes to be utilized. you may like the context of that executive order today, next year, five yearss different person in leadership utilizing executive order. you don't like the context, all of sudden you're yelling about executive fiat. we have to be careful about way things get done and context of the order is worthwhile. pete: elections have consequences. that is exactly right. ultimately, democrats, pelosi, schumer is unworkable, weak and

narrow. of course it is not unworkable, of course it is not weak but they are right it is narrow. democrats wanted to spend billions on blue state bailouts. expand voter i.d. would include ballot harvesting. rather than make a bad deal, really bad deal, meeting democrats in the middles where we're spending money we don't have, president said i will go at unemployment. get rid of a disincentive. why he picked 400 instead of 600. payroll tax holiday puts money in people's paychecks right away. you don't want it to be executive order. notice the democrats didn't challenge whether he had the ability to do it. they just don't like it. steve scalise who is house minority whip on justice, about this executive action. here is what he had to say. >> this is example of president taking executive action when you saw speaker pelosi and chuck

schumer trying to hold people hostage to push the left-wing agenda. they were not trying to help families. they were using that as leverage. they used that term before. president trump went around taking away the leverage using executive action. keep in mind, president obama used executive action to go after people, with the irs and epa. shutting down the energy industry. president trump is using the federal government to help people in tough times. griff: scalise is right. obama used it 276 times. none more famous on daca. president trump saw the effectiveness daca eo had. now he is trying to take matters in his own hands. pelosi announced that the house is out until september 14th. there is in indication anything will change for millions of struggling americans. meanwhile joe biden is not offering a solution to breaking

the stalemate in washington. this isn't new. so we'll see other than the criticism that biden offered, if he has a solution what is happening here in congress, which is, doing nothing. so we'll see what he does now. one of the picks that he makes with his vice president a couple of them actually could perhaps offer solutions if it is senator kamala harris. but you know, karen bass maybe even, now there is a lot of focus on susan rice a lot of people talking about susan rice, whether or not she would bring the administrative experience. obviously doesn't have the congressional one. well, benghazi is coming up. people are pointing at that again. here is susan rice talking about it on "fox news sunday." listen. >> this was not a preplanned, premeditated attack. what happened initially was it was a spontaneous reaction to what had just transpired in cairo. as a consequence of the video. griff: for that criticism, rice

says, bring it on. here is what she told "the atlantic." quote, this is all political distraction in a year where over 160 americans died from covid-19 because of this president's inepttude, incompetence, disregard for human life, putting his own political interests above the health and well being of the economy of the united states and ability to educate our kid they're going to talk about benghazi. i say fine. let them. jed. jedediah: i mean, susan rice is a terrible choice for a candidate. just horrible. all everyone thinks of susan rice her defense of that talking about a youtube video. wound up not being a youtube video. to be clear she was stand-in for hillary clinton there. that was hillary clinton not wanting to take responsibility for that. putting susan rice out there on all the shows to echo this ridiculous talking point at the time. susan rice can't say that. that is the truth we all know. regardless she is on video making that blunder over and over again. i think that she is, i don't

think she can leave that behind. i think it would really tarnish joe biden if he were to pick her. pete: hillary clinton wouldn't touch it. she was eyeing an election run. september much 2012. susan rice was happy, time of september 16th was known to be a false narrative. five days later it doesn't -- how our intelligence agencies were giving her talking points, she was willing to spew them in light of the facts on the frowned. ambassador chris stevens, sean smith, navy seals, glen doherty, tyrone woods who fought to save american lives. the disaster her libyan policy, syrian policy. she wanted to be the secretary of state. couldn't get confirmed. they ultimately went for national security advisor where she didn't need. it would bring a lot of scrutiny if indeed reports are correct susan rice remains on the short list. we'll follow this. part of what american people are watching what happened over the last couple months with the

unrest in our country, seeing violence on the streets, riots. what you saw this weekend is the full force of the silent majority starting to get back on the streets, showing their support for law enforcement, breaking from liberal leaders and saying, you know what? i support the troops. i support the men and women in uniform. we saw rallies in california. a "walkway campaign" rally by brandon who has been on our program before. back the blue rallies. what started as a protest we understand turned into riots. we understand the leadership of black lives matter has marxist roots. we're not for that. we i this the police are a bedrock for our country. seattle police chief carmen best, this was not a part of the rallies but she is speaking to this idea we defund the police. she was on "watters' world" last night and had something -- i believe on "justice" had

something to say about defunding the police. what she will continue to do in seattle despite the violence. >> it has been extremely challenging. i honestly can say i have faith, we will eventually come to agreement in terms how we're going to keep people safe. no one could ever have imagined some of the challenges with a number of demonstrations that we've been dealing with, particularly in some of our west coast cities, but we swore to defend and protect everyone. we're going to stick by that. pete: good on carmen best. watching all these black lives matters protests group of people during covid-19 had a lot of people looking sideways. why not have the back the blue protest which was peaceful by the way. huge difference, to support law enforcement. good to see you that. i'm guessing you will see more to come. jedediah: in beverly hills no less. it was interesting where these

things are manifesting. you're right, pete, you will see more of this. people are looking a the crime, what is happening in their cities. looking at places like california, new york, other places around the country, you know what? i don't want to live in a place where you call the police and can't have the expectation they will show up because they have been defunded in some way. that is absurd. anyone with common sense on their shoulders knows that to be the case. we'll turn to headlines now beginning with a fox news alert. overnight, rioters breaking into the portland police association, setting fire to the building. they flipped over a dumpster, setting it on fire in the middle of the street as the city sees more than 70 straight nights of unrest. a trooper is hurt after a rioter throws a large rock at his head. 24 people were arrested. thee people are arrested murdering an off-duty state trooper while working a second job with the postal service. "troy" morris was shot and

killed after his delivery truck got a flat tire on friday morning. he was a 27 year. one suspect turned himself in. others are waiting for extra decision. government of afghanistan turned over 124 taliban prisoners. they hope it will turn over to new police talks. secretary mark esper says they will cut the number of u.s. troops to 5,000 in september. >> we think we can do all the core missions. first and foremost insuring that the united states are not threatened by terrorists coming out of afghanistan. we can do those at a lower level. we'll proceed along that direction as well. jedediah: there are about 8600 troops in afghanistan right now. today iron mike tyson will take on the most fearsome opponent yet a great white shark. the exhibition, called, rumble on the reef kicks off

"shark week." the host says he never seen the boxing legend this concerned. >> he was scared. that is not something you expect to see or something that many people have ever seen. so i think this is going to be a great, a great viewing of mike tyson. jedediah: so it's not clear exactly how tyson will fight the shark but "the discovery channel" says no person or animal were hurt thankfully. those are your headlines. that is your next job, give, battling a shark. you didn't know it next. griff: why is tyson punching the surfboard in the trailer? i will tune in to find out. tomorrow marks one year since jeffrey epstein's death inside of a manhattan jail. where does the case stand now? our next guest is a former federal prosecutor who said epstein may be dead but the case against him is very much alive. when we started carvana, they told us

pete: we're back with a fox news alert. jeffrey epstein found dead in an apparent suicide. >> convicted pedophile jeffrey epstein died overnight in apparent suicide. >> jeffrey epstein, age 66 was found dead. >> jeffrey epstein was found unresponsive in his jail cell in the metropolitan corrections center in new york. they are calling it an apparent suicide. griff: hard to believe, tomorrow marks one year since sex offender jeffrey epstein was found dead in a jail cell in federal custody in new york. as epstein confidante ghislaine maxwell sits behind bars. her team has tomorrow to face new deadlines for court filing. we have the child exploit station and.

where do things stand now. >> it is interesting a lot more happened since epstein's death than ever happened before that. you had the case dismissed against him, really never brought against him because of the non-prosecution agreement in south florida, more than a decade ago. after his death there was an indictment. it was unsealed and ghislaine maxwell was arrested. she has been held without bond just like epstein was a year ago. although this time bill barr the attorney general seems determined to keep her alive. i understand she is being constantly moved from cell to cell. she is given nothing but paper. paper clothes, paper bedding. so she can't do what the medical examiner said he epstein did and kill himself. griff: it will be interesting to see what ghislaine maxwell will ultimately tell us about this a lot of people believe she has a lot of secrets. i want to talk about what this means for the victims. you talk about the victims not

being able to sue. the 11th court of appeals is hearing en banc this week to perhaps give them some relief? >> that's right, griff. right here in atlanta are with i'm sitting now, they are willing to hear en banc based on their allegations, that the united states attorney's office, department of justice, violated the crime victims rights acts signing the northern prosecution agreement with epstein without informing them of what was happening, they had no notice, no input, no rights to appear at any proceedings. they have sued to try to overturn that non-prosecution agreement so they can get discovery. so they can sue his estate. and a lower panel said that they couldn't. that there was no relief listed in the crime victims rights act but the 11th circuit taking the case agreeing to rehear it en banc is really interesting. it might mean they disagree with

that panel decision. griff: lastly, what does this mean for folks like princance drew? we keep hearing more and more about allegations. >> that is good question. he is royalty, an effectived protected member of uk government if you will. it will be very interesting to see as this case goes on, i expect ghislaine maxwell is in the u.s. attorney's office, cooperating giving them everything she knows in order to avoid a really lengthy or mostly lifetime jail sentence. that could include i am information that implicates prince andrew in the crimes he has been publicly accused of. whether we ever see him in a u.s. courtroom is highly doubtful but we'll see. griff: we shall see, thanks for joining us. have a great sunday. >> thanks, griff, you too. griff: coming up, move over microsoft, twitter could be interested in buying tiktok, the new bidding war and the legal battle brewing next.

♪. griff: back now with some quick headlines. twitter now looking to buy tiktok. "the wall street journal" reporting that the social media companies discussed a potential deal. it is unclear if the two will come to an agreement. meanwhile tiktok plans to sue the trump administration over the president's executive order banning the app in the u.s. tiktok says the president's claims of a national security threat are baseless. senator bernie sanders calls for a tax on billionaires during the pandemic. sanders says his proposal would set a one-time 60% tax on billionaires who are making more money during the pandemic like amazon ceo jeff bezos. sanders says the money would go towards health care for all

americans. jed? jedediah: thanks, griff. texas health officials reporting the state's 7-day covid-19 positivity rate has grown more than 19%, the highest since the pandemic began with more than 134,000 cases yesterday alone. this as the white house expands mandatory covid-19 testing among staffers. here with an update, black voices for trump advise very board member, rnc committeeman, dr. robert armstrong. dr. armstrong. welcome to the show. always great to have you here. can you speak a little bit to people's concerns when they see numbers happening to texas? they fear that may be happening in their state. do people need to be worried? >> i think that people certainly need to be vigilant and make sure. we are in the middle of a pandemic but at the same time i think there are, there are you know, great, you know, positives as well. i believe that our numbers actually are declining from where they have been and i think as a nation, i'm a physician as

well and i practice in the hospital and with i've seen is that, you know, people are, our numbers are declining in the hospitals. the case numbers are increasing but the mortality rate is really declining. as long as people are vigilant, they make sure they're social distancing, they make sure they're wearing their masks, we can rest assured the numbers will continue to decline. i think we need to open things up. we need kids back in schools. we're excited about that. i think our kids are happy about that. i think right now, more than ever, we don't need to be in fear because there are therapeutics out there as well. i use hydroxychloroquine quite a bit as a therapeutic. i believe there are things we can do as a nation to press forward, move forward, get the economy going again, while at the same time, being wise and make sure we're protecting those most vulnerable among us. jedediah: dr. armstrong, you mentioned you are a physician

and talked a little bit about hospitals and i think that is an important note but i wanted to ask you based on a your medical background, i'm monitoring a panel wednesday with the congressional women's caucus, impact of covid-19 particularly with women's health, what we find with a lot of cases that is the event you see, there is stress on hospitals and deaths and it should be that is very important, a host of people, a lot of them, many of women are suffering with chronic symptoms post covid-19 they don't know what to do about it? can you speak to those people. they're labeled as recovered but they don't feel recovered? >> i tell you that is something that is unknown amongst the medical community right now and what i would encourage people now is, get treatment earlier. like i mentioned i believe that there are therapeutics out there like, using hydroxychloroquine a little bit earlier in the case actually will help mitigate some of those long-term symptoms.

i also believe that we really have to, you know, zinc, vitamins, daily exercise is also important. the key to make sure we're treating people earlier so we don't have these chronic symptoms. that is always been a risk and a concern of ours. i know the media has certainly been negative on some of these therapeutics like hydroxychloroquine. what we've seen in my practice, what we've seen in a lot of practices, and thousands of physicians around the country, if you use it a little earlier you can mitigate some of these symptoms. i think the key is treating it a little earlier and not waiting until the symptoms can be occurring and continue all. jedediah: yeah. you're speaking about hydroxychloroquine. of course many others speaking about alternative medicine. regardless there is a focus put on health and wellness throughout this has been significant and valuable and

important. dr. robert armstrong, thank you very much. anyone wants to check out the panel this week, tune in to my instagram this wednesday at 2:30. pete is back and survived after swimming across the hudson river. you will want to see the sights and sounds of his journey next. ♪. >> tech: at safelite, we're committed to taking care of you and your car. >> 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. ♪

president trump: thank you very much. griff: he answered it. got challenged it again. darren, nobody knows more about the va than you do. i mean that earnestly. break down what did president obama do and what did president trump do. there is a lot of confusion here. >> pete, thanks for having me on the show. i've been involved with this for a long time. what president obama and biden administration did was they resisted, but went ahead and signed a temporary program called, what is called the choice program and which was a failure t was because of the phoenix scandals. they were forced to do it. senator mccain came to an agreement but no one wanted to do it. the only reason they signed on to very temporary program called choice, which actually didn't provide choice was because of the uproar from the veterans that made him do it. now the president is absolutely right, when he talks about the first choice veterans wanted

this for decades. i've been around for decades. i was involved with the va 2001, veterans orbizations before that. trump had a promise, i'm reading the problem his, assure every veteran has choice to seek care at va or priced provider of their choice. that is what he is talking about. veterans talk about choice. don't call it a program. you can call it choice but it was never choice. what the president did was first create the first real permanent choice. never existed that ever. veterans wanted it for decades. he created it. with urgent care he kept it promise with the small doctor, dod, veterans have first chase. va couldn't deliver time distance, they could go go ahead without even approval from the va, get the doctor they needed and va would pay the bill. absolutely correct. critics are wrong. that is it what the facts are.

jedediah: darren what is the impact of that? i'm sorry. i wanted already have you seen the impact of that policy-making, what has that looked like for veterans? >> the impact has been tremendous. not only veterans been much happier with their health care, vfw, i have a copy of the report here, vfw in 2019 did a survey, 6900 members. 74% saw local improvements in the va within first few months of the passage of the mission act. wait times were shorter. expanded care were available including health options. obvious with survey of veterans, everyone knows it is passed popular, president is absolutely correct. pete: we were there in for the creation in 2014. obama administration wanted nothing to do with choice. they made it temporary. it was confusing. they wanted it to end. president trump said he would deliver mission act permanently

allow choice for votes. why is media trying to make this an issue right now? why are they trying to confuse the fact that donald trump actually delivered on this? >> for the same reason that nancy pelosi opposed the mission act when i was negotiating it for the white house. they don't want the president to have a win. either that or just ignorant of the law and of what veterans wants and history. i think a let of this just that the consider critics and people like nancy pelosi don't want the president to have a win. veterans know president has delivered with choice, accountability, he has promises made, promises kept. he keeps keeping those promise. they do everything to oppose the president. griff: president obviously didn't want to engage in that back and forth with that reporter. do you believe the president should set the record straight and really drive that message home between now and the next 86 days? >> well, i think it is up to his

sure surrogates, people like me. president is one guy. every time he sets the record straight. it is complicated issue. hard to do it in a sound bite. hopefully the president will say more. he has got major initiatives, covid-19 and other things to worry about. that is why i'm on here today, to help set the record straight. i helped draft that law. i created it. i've been working on this 20 years, these issues. time we set them straight and president is right and hopefully others and besides me will engage in this. that is why we have these promises and that's what the president has done. pete: classic politics. attack the someone for their strength. president said i want to do more on choice. thethe va bureaucracy sometimes sighfulling it. to criticize him on va choice is to make something up. it is amazing. darren, you've been there. thanks so much for setting us straight this morning.

♪. pete: the manhattan district attorney under fire for dropping felony charges against a black lives matter organizer accused of assaulting a police officer and then releasing him without bail. the d.a. gave, no explanation. instead condemning police for deploying to his home saying in a statement, these actions were disproportionate to the alleged offense that occurred two months ago unjustifiably escalated conflict between law enforcement and the communities we serve. here to react, new york state assemblymanner, gop congressional can kate, candidate. nicole, explain this. dropping a felony charge. the d.a. says nothing to see here? >> this is really enraging but not surprising because across this city we're seeing more and more elected officials that are disrespecting the police and they are holding those who are

hurting them accountable. when you don't have elected officials that respect the police, you're not going to have members of the public that respect the police. i think that is really what we're battling here in new york, are a bunch of elected officials who think it is okay to close rikers eye lan and release people back on to our streets. they think it is okay to eliminate bail, rioters and looters, by the way, some of these democrats raised money for bail funds to release these rioters and these looters back on to the streets right after the police arrest them. it is police officer schiff wasn't even completed and people were back on the streets. pete: you're a police officer. you've been assaulted in a felony charge and when you go to arrest the individual who did that the district attorney for the state says, no, we were wrong. nothing to see here. we're not going to do anything about it? it is unbelievable. it is not just here in new york. from boston university canceling benefit for bail reform after a

rapist is bailed out, struck again. suspects behind the spike in new york city already getting bail. in houston, more than 40 released prisoners since 2018 went on to be charged with murder. what do people expect when you release criminals early? >> well, look, bill de blasio made it his real effort to release as many prisoners as possible during covid-19 citing they had health risks. then there were hundreds that were rearrested for committing other crimes. then you have our members of congress including every, every congressional representative from new york city and the democrats, they all sided with pelosi and socialist squad to vote for a bill that would release federal convicts, including murders and rapists. the people around the country have to realize this is what they're getting. getting socialist democrats, cowardly democrats, like my opponent, max rose, who are afraid of aoc coming at them

next round. we need republicans to push back against the chaos in the city level, but now perpetrating throughout the federal level of government as well. pete: old-fashioned notion of law and order. if you assault a police officer, i don't care what you're protesting you will get the book thrown at you, not the d.a. defending you. it is amazing. nicole, real quick. >> police officers are not safe, we're not safe. that is the bottom line. pete: amen. nicole, thanks for joining us. appreciate it. >> thank you. pete: still ahead, like something out of "star wars." your next virtual meeting at home could be done by hologram if you have a beg studio like that and a green screen. kurt the cyberguy shows us how it works coming up next. ♪. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. i wish i could shake your hand. granted.

♪. president trump: sew we're all set up. it is $400 per week. we're doing that without the democrats. we should have been able to do it very easily with them but they want all the additional things that have nothing to do with helping people. griff: that was president trump taking covid-19 relief into his own hand by signing several executive order yesterday. pete: the orders include $400 per week in supplemental unemployment payments, an extension for student loan relief, evictionses protection through the end of the year and a payroll tax holiday for workers earning under 100,000 a

year. jedediah: senate minority leader chuck schumer and house speaker nancy pelosi called the orders meager, urging republicans to come back to the negotiating table. welcome, everyone, to the 7:00 a.m. hour of "fox & friends." we're here covering the latest. obviously there was a stalemate. congress couldn't agree. the president couldn't agree with each other on what this funding should look like when so many people are in desperate need. on its face if you look a lot of the measures inside of the executive order, they are valid, they are necessary. there will be questions whether an executive order was the best means by which to go about this, there will be always concerns about executive overreach. if you like the policies in this executive order, you may not like the policies in the next executive order. you have got to be careful with doing things by executive order, particularly when you have a congressional stalemate on things like funding for different causes. griff. griff: jed, i don't even know if it's a stalemate anymore. pelosi says the house won't come

back until september 14th unless there is a break in the logjam but let's be clear, the mnuchin-meadows team put self short term, narrow skinny options on the table to help struggling americans, millions of them, out of benefits that ran out two weeks ago, yet she has stuck by her guns, which is my way or the highway. so i'm not even sure it is in good faith she wants to come back to the table. meanwhile those executive orders, while intending to help struggling americans, i'm not sure, i mean it is going to be challenged like nobody's business. you have article i section 9, clause 7 which says the power of the purse lies with congress. so i'm not sure exactly what impact this will have,. pete: pete i would like to see one one democrat attempt to challenge the president's ability to do this executive order, after what, barack obama did for years through executive orders, ultimately we know a

weak spot of executive orders, they go away if you loose an election. it is not law. it is declaration of priority and intent. in this case the white house believes they have the power to do these types of things, to in this emergency, in this moment to extend unemployment benefits, down from 600 to 400 because you don't want to create an incentive for people to stay out of work, protecting people's student loans, protecting against eviction, recognizing a payroll tax decrease gives more money into people's pockets right now and to hear the democrats talk about, nancy pelosi and chuck schumer called it unworkable, not true, weak, certainly not true, and narrow which is correct. president trump didn't want to sign on to, and he shouldn't, a $3.4 trillion bailout bill that gives trillions for non-covid related things to include blue state bailouts, state has couldn't manage their own budget before covid-19. now they want to get bailed out because of it, using the crisis

to do so. here is the president talking about that bailout yesterday. president trump: we have repeatedly stated our willingness to immediately sign legislation providing expanded unemployment benefits, protecting americans from eviction and providing additional relief payments to families. democrats have refused these offers. they want to negotiate. what they really want is bail out money for states that are run by democrat governors and mayors and that have been run very badly for many, many years and many decades. pete: if democrats had been willing to move guys, one inch from the 3 trillion-dollar tag. you might have had a chance for a deal. they wanted pain. they knew the pain was leverage. the president took that leverage away taking action. didn't give them money for banning voter i.d., pushing out mail-out ballots in states not prepared to do that. democrats would have to find a way to do that on their own. the president will not be party to it. that executive action yesterday, i think it has democrat on their

heels. whoa, we lost this we're going home. nothing to say for it. the president is delivering for people as we race for a vaccine as well. certainly puts the president on the offense, jed. jedediah: democrats are in very difficult position now. what are they going to do, rally against aid people need very much? that is difficult and challenging. they can't rally against executive orders, because we saw executive over reach on the obama administration, not only things like daca, aca came to the mandate. they are no stranger to executive orders. that puts themselves in difficult position. determine whether or not there will be lawsuits. people talking about lawsuits. i don't know that will happen. people around the country need assistance. right, the real point people need help. people at home will be saying stop obstructing the process. i don't care what side of the aisle you're on, i need money, i need help, my business has been shut down. there has been rioting in the streets in my city. i can't open.

this virus has shut things down in a way that people have medical bills they didn't have before. ultimately it will be the person who delivers that they're going to say thank you to. i think president trump wants to be the person on top of. that once again, not a big fan of executive orders but i do see the trouble you have when you are, when you are presenting piecemeal options to democrats, they are saying no thank you, no thank you, no, thank you, at some point what do you do? griff: you raise a good point, jed, there was no thank you on pelosi on eo extending the eviction moratorium. something asked by our own chad pergram, hey, would you support this. this was a while back, he was asking her, oh, yes, that would be good thing to extend the moratorium. no thanks coming there. let me tell you what teenagers, millions of them across the america are worried about. that is what is happening to the tok, right? here is headline from the "wall street journal" twitter, tiktok held preliminary stocks

about possible come names this is significant because while our youngsters, making fun of them a little bit, they were worried about tiktok. it was very, very important honestly during the pandemic because they were stuck at home on the phones. we found out the threat that tiktok poses with their ties to the communist chinese party. a lot of these youngsters are hoping it will reimage itself in a u.s.-based company. this of course, could be very interesting, while, by the way, tiktok plans, at some points this week likely to sue the trump administration over the ban. griff: pete: griff, i love you, i love your daughters. tiktok cannot be called important. if tiktok went away tomorrow the world wouldn't change. we would find better ways to interact with each other. the fact tiktok is used as a vessel for the communist chinese to suck up and surveil the information of our young people is a sin. so the president is right to do something about it. then when i saw this headline,

twitter? twitter is absolute left-wing echo chamber. so you would know, griff. i don't know, does tiktok have political -- i know these are fun dance videos mostly but politics always seeps into everything. say twitter buys tiktok or takes it in, now censorship of conservatives? i don't know if there is conservative dancing or liberal dancing whatever it is, the worry, ultimately what happens. you saw it in twitter, shadow bans of conservatives people support the president. it is not hidden. it is better? slightly better than the communist chinese. ultimately censorship exists on twitter t would make its way to tiktok. i don't think this is what beam were hoping for. griff: we just had hearings, big head of silicon valley companies here on capitol hill, pressed, grilled over the bias against conservatives. clearly there will be an effort here, an opportunity silicon valley says this is popular,

let's grab this one, continue to do what they want to do, jed. jedediah: a lot of people on my instagram put stuff on tiktok. i'm not tiktok. i don't know if anything is going on there. i have not seen it. i would be interested to know what conservative and liberal dancing looks like. maybe i can be a judge on one of those contests f that exists -- pete: in high school dancing there is liberal dancing and conservative dancing. we all know the line there. jedediah: i don't even want to venture where you're going with all that. so i am going to switch over, which producers will thank me for to headlines. we begin with a fox news alert because one person is dead and five others are hurt including an off-duty police officer after shooting at a motorcycle club. investigators say some kind of a fight broke out before the shooting in birmingham, alabama. the injured officer was there as a customer and is expected to be okay. police have not named any suspects as of yet.

nowhere. nancy pelosi wants to give $800 billion to blue states and cities. that is simply unfair to the states that have acted fiscally responsibly. but think about this, griff, now every single worker in america, you and me, and everybody at "fox & friends," everybody who is working, the first-responders, nurses, doctors, truckers, sanitation workers across this country, who are working, let's face it, they're the real heroes of this economy. they will get a much deserved 7 1/2% pay raise, starting immediately. starting immediately in their paychecks. that is a very, positive thing. -- popular voters two to one margin people support the idea of a payroll tax cut this is not a tax cut. i want to be clear. this is suspension of the tax for the rest of the year but the president said yesterday, griff, his full intention in his tech

term to then forgive those taxes so it become as defacto tax cut. i think it is brilliant. why is it that nancy pelosi is against giving middle class workers and even minimum wage workers a pay increase? griff: if president does do that, the social security, medicare are not as threatened as it would be. let me ask you a larger, point, stephen, do these executive orders help speed up, we saw cooling in the last july jobs numbers, two million less than june. is this going to help to get back on track we were in may and june? >> this is a great stimulus. it is exactly what the economy needs. reward people for getting back to work. we paid people more. they have more incentive to go back to work this is a very positive thing it puts a lot of money into mainstream usa all over the country. small cities, large cities, will start to see that money flowing

into their local economies. now donald trump also did the 400-dollar a week extension of the unemployment insurance. i'm not wild about that. i think we should go back to the old unemployment insurance system. $400 is better than 600. griff, as we know, we have a situation two out of three workers who were unemployed getting paid more money than people working. that is not good economics. but you know everyone is waiting to see how nancy pelosi is going to respond to this. these are very positive and popular things that, she will say no, we'll not give a pay raise to workers. no, we'll not extend unemployment benefits. we won't have probush shurn against restrictions. griff: we shall see. speaker pelosi says the house isn't coming back until september 14th at earliest. steve moore, white house economic advisor and unofficial umpire. thanks, steve. >> take care, guys.

democrats change the party? one catholic group is calling on biden to speak out against attacks on churches. here to discuss is fox news contributor and evangelist dr. alveda king. doctor, good morning, god bless you. thank you so much for joining us. >> good morning, pete, happy sunday. hello, everyone. pete: happy sunday to you. do religious voters have any ground with the democrat party in its current state right now? >> well, religious voters, spiritual voters, those with cam passion and care about people, those who are aware of the book of luke, that says we have to take care of the rich, the poor, the widows, the orphans, the prisoners all of that needs to be taken care of so we're looking now for the best leadership that will continue to help this country to be stronger and even greater and of course we think president trump with all of those initiatives. now with the democrats making

this whole situation very political, then it is appropriate for spiritual folks, religious folks to say candidate joe biden, what are you going to do for the people? are you going to lead a party to hold assistance or any help just to get political gain and while you disappear don't make yourself available for debates? these are things are appropriate to ask candidate biden. i think it is very important to do that. pete: dr. king, one group, catholic vote, had this message for president biden, former vice president, catholic churches across america are literally burning. joe biden said nothing. these attacks on the church question the commitment of joe biden a self-professed catholic, to the rise of anti-catholicism across the country. whether you're a protestant or catholic, do you feel joe biden is doing enough to fight against

antireligious bigotry? >> as executive of director of civil rights for the unborn, for example, we're -- critics of them. that is catholic organization. i head up the civil rights of that work. some catholics are saying to candidate biden, taking holy communion, you want to vote for and support killing little babies in the womb? why are you running for office and not looking at the need of your own community and your people? so i believe that it is very important to ask candidate biden whenever you catch up with him, he is not open for debates, those keeps of things. those questions are important. those questions must be ask. pete: to catch up with him you will need a key to the basement, dr. king, that's true. thank you so much for sticking up for the christian faith and being a voice of clarity an love always. we appreciate it. >> thank you. pete: great to have you. coming up yesterday we showed you the start of my swim with

values between us. jedediah: christopher, are were there any points along the way, be it attending a rally or talking to some individuals out in the united states at different businesses wherever it may be that caused self reflection for you, for you to look inside, reflect how you were having conversations with people on the opposite side of the spectrum? >> absolutely. one of our early trips was with a man whose name is pete who is truck driver. drove from vegas to slidell, louisiana. when he first jumped down he was wearing make america great t-shirt. i have thought i knew he was. when we were driving, with this mission, i gave him to know as more complex thinker i would have thought from just seeing him and meeting him. he talked about the climate change. he talked about the president, his love for the president, what he would have changed if he could. it was really quite remarkable to see the complexity in this

country and how deep people's values and ideas and thoughts really run. jedediah: yeah. jordan, similar question for you in the sense of what would your advice be? we need this book right now because it is such a divided time in our country? do you have any tips or advice for people who want to have really important conversations find themselves arguing not seeing eye-to-eye and struggling? >> yeah, absolutely. i think my first bit of advice is, is, when you do have these conversations don't go in trying to change the other person's mind. both sides have their own sets of data they like to point to. they have their own reasons why they believe what they do. when you try to change some one's mind they tend to lock in. if we enter conversations trying to listen, we're more likely to have much better conversations. that is what chris and i learned. jedediah: well, jordan, christopher, thank you so much for being here. union is on sale now.

it is nine days after the unemployment benefits ran out as well as federal eviction protection, so president trump yesterday decided to take it into his own hands. he signed four executive orders which are likely to face legal challenges. there's a $400 per week supplemental unemployment payment rather e than the original $600 and a portion of which may be covered by the states. there's a student hone relief extension, eviction protection and a payroll tax holiday for annual incomes under $100,000. >> we just think we have to do this because we thought the democrats would be reasonable. they've been not only unreasonable, they've been ridiculous. >> reporter: however, democrats on capitol hill say the president is walking away from negotiations. speaker nancy pelosi and senate minority leader chuck schumer writing: instead of putting in the work to solve americans' problems, the president instead chose to stay on his luxury golf course to announce unworkable,

weak and narrow policy announcements. former vice president joe biden expect presumptive democratic nominee saying this is no art of the deal, this is not presidential leadership. these orders are not real solutions, they are just another cynical point designed to reflect responsibility. democrats have lowered their asking price for another coronavirus stimulus package. originally they wanted $3.4 trillion. they've lowered that to $2 trillion, but that is nowhere near the $1 trillion that republicans want. guys? pete: lauren are, thank you very much. to hear joe biden say this is an attempt to deflect, quite the opposite. it's taking responsibility and say, members of congress, the democrats have been completely unwilling to move. sure, now they say they'll accept a $2 trillion. they were stuck at $3 trillion, filling it full of non-covid relates thingsed -- related

things. banning voter id, so it's all about the election as well, pushing mail-in, mail-out ballots to the voter rolls. the white house said this is completely unacceptable, they put mnuchin and meadows at the table with pelosi and schumer for a couple of weeks trying to hammer out a deal. legislation would be preferred. but democrats are saying this is unworkable, weak and narrow. they're not saying you can't do it. he said i'm going at unemployment, i'm going at the payroll tax, i'm going to help on student loans and evictions and this, jed, i believe does put democrats on their heels because the people are seeing a president take action when washington would not. love or hate executive orders, that's out the window at this point. barack obama did it on daca, and often times it can be hard to undo, but he did this in a moment of crisis, and the question will be how do voters

respond to it, and i think they'll look favorably. jedediah: well, biden saying these aren't real solutions, and i think the public would disagree when you're talking about the payroll tax, deferment of student loans and money that is needed for people who have been severely struggling. i think they're going to look and say who is willing to get out there and help us. republicans came to the table and offered several options saying can we do this now and help people and talk about these bigger packages later, and democrats resisted that. they wanted their big package of bundle, and donald trump wasn't going the give in on that. the president did not want to do that. now, yes, i have been critical of executive orders, i don't like an executive order as a means to get where we need to go. but when you have the american people suffer ising and you have democrats saying, guess what, we're not going to give an inch, you are essentially backed into a corner because people, first and foremost, need that assistance. we spoke with stephen moore on

how this all helps the american worker. listen to what he had to say. >> it's a great stimulus. it's exactly what the economy needs. reward people for getting back to work. you know, we pay people more, they have more incentive to go back to work, so this is a very positive thing. out puts a lot of money into main street, usa, all over the country. so small cities and, you know, large cities will tart to see that -- start to see that money nowing into their local economies. everyone is waiting to see how nancy pelosi is going to respond to this because these are very positives and popular things that -- she's going to say, no, we're not going to give a pay raise to workers. griff: and to that point that he was talking about, nancy pelosi, i think, is already telegraphing her response. she doesn't care that she's going to be criticized in the short term for not coming to the aid of struggling americans, millions of them, because we're we're getting a view of how she sees the political landscape.

look at the fact that she's announced the house won't be back until september 14th, the earlyiest, because it's an election year. there's no intention to do anything unless there is a full cave on the part of meadows and mnuchin, and we don't see that coming. i'll teleyou something else that -- tell you something else american voters are going to respond to, and that is this cancel culture. it's become such a part of our vocabulary lately. here is an op-ed by kevin full lips who follows these -- phillips. cancel culture distorts history to portray u.s. as evil nation that must be transformed. despite being labeled so wrong in so many ways by a group of pulitzer prize-winning historians, the 1619 project is set to hit k-12 classrooms this fall. soon 6-year-olds will be

learning a reframed version of america's founding shape to fit a standard and turn the next generation of social justice warriors. when american colonies declared independence actually our nation's birth year. that's because 1619 was the year the first enslaved africans arrived in the colonies. pete, you wrote a book a little bit about these things. i'm guessing that you agree with kevin. pete: very much so. we're at a point because of covid-19 are schools opening, not opening, virtual learning, in-classroom learning. it doesn't really matter if either way the curriculum has been totally contorted by so-called progressives, leftists who believe america's an evil place. the worst ideas get laundered in the ivy league, then they get pushed into think tanks and places like "the new york times" which had this long 1619 project which was lauded although

rejected by historians. it's time to teach kids that america was founded when slave ships arrived, not when we founded our -- not when our declaration happened which was, admittedly, imperfect. we've gone 200 years trying to write the wrongs on that moment. that's the beautiful story of america, trying to form a more perfect union. yet they're trying to make kids believe america bad. check your kids' curriculum. jedediah: yeah. and the origin of this is not in, you know, the ivy e league and academia, it's in middle school. pete: the origin is there, but -- [inaudible conversations] jedediah: yeah, yeah. but it started really, really young with, is what i'm trying to say. i was in these classrooms the ten years ago, and we're calling it. cancel culture now, but this concept that america's a bad guy has been going on for a really, really long time. the it doesn't only happen inside the classrooms, it

happens in assembly halls, in the way that every issue that comes up framed and what students are ostracized for their beliefs. you're right, we're seeing this get framed as, you know, kiss going back to -- kids going back to school now. this was origin of why home schooling became so so popular -- pete: you're right. jedediah: -- knowing full well they were not getting an education, but getting indoctrination, and that has been going on for way too long. so we'll see where that lands. we're going to turn to some headlines for you now. overnight rioters breaking into the portland police association, setting fire to -- inside that building. they also flipped over a dumpster, setting it on fire in the muddle of the street as the city sees more than 70 nights of unrest. meanwhile, an oregon state trooper is hurt after rioter9 throw a large rock at his head. 24 people were arrested. afghanistan agreeing to release 400 hard core taliban

unified as well as the majority of the united states such as gun reform and supporting immigration reform and systemic equality, he's the guy who's going to unify our country, so -- and by the way, if you look at chris wallace's interview, we know the stuff the president was talking about on this so-called manifesto, he was making stuff up that wasn't even in the manifesto. griff: let me bring you back though, robert, because this is a campaign season like we've never seen before. the old adage in politics is campaign left or right, govern in the middle, but what we saw in the very first debate of the democratic premauer, they're all for giving health care to all legal immigrants. it was a starting point that was so far left, my -- i hear you debunking the president's claims about whether or not biden signed on to the bernie pact and these other things, but if biden isn't there, will the bernie bros and that faction of the

democratic party not vote for him? >> i mean, it's clear that this is very different from 2016. the motivation for the democratic party to vote is the highest it's ever been. we saw that starting in the blue wave in the 2018 midtermses, and we've seen it ever since where we're winning governorships. we've flipped seven or eight governorships. so this idea that there's a lack of motivation to vote and that joe biden isn't going to be able to unify our party is just inaccurate. and the issues that we talk about, they're not far left issues. gun reform's not a far left issue. griff: robert, just in the seconds we've got left, do you believe that the running mate choice, which we're going to get any day now, will indicate how far left he'll govern? >> i don't because i think that if you look at the people who are up for it -- kamala harris, susan rice, karen bass --

unveiling plans to convert recreation centers and other sites into makeshift classrooming offering in- classrooms offering in-person support to students. but some are wondering if they can be open, why can't schools? here to discuss is dr. nicole saphier and see quo of project hood, pastor corey brook. pastor, what about these shadow classrooms? can they be done safely? let us know what you think. >> absolutely. they're going to have to be done safely. in chicago we are having centers simply because our teachers are not opening the cools, our school system is closed. to they're leaving kids to have to virtually e learn, and we cannot allow a learning loss with our children. we've lost a lot already due to the pandemic, the last thing beneed in our community is for our children to be left behind. so we're doing everything we can to make sure they stay safe. we're going to put everything in

place to make sure safety foremost, but learning has to go on. jedediah: dr. saphier, what do you make of these shadow classrooms around the country? >> look, jedediah, i'm sure you yourself have a lot of opinions on this topic. all the evidence we have right now tells us elementary school-aged children have a limited role in transmission and severity of the infection, so the big concern is the safety of the teachers as well as the families that the children go home to. in my opinion, the only reason school how old not open is if they do not have the physical capacity to decrease classroom size, not because you have a union enforcing legislators to make decisions when they're heavily dependent on such unions in election cycles. i love the idea of micro-schools. i think it is amazing that community leaders like the pastor are stepping up to really help children who are suffering right now, specifically ethos in the low income bracket. those are the ones we saw have

dropped out of the distance learning. it's difficult. they don't have the support. however, you know, moving forward people who are going to be able to afford some of these micro-schools, they're still going to afford it. it's the families who are not able to afford it who are going to further suffer. as we have heard the president say, we need to support those families, giving the money back to those families so they can get their children to benefit from those micro-schools too too if the teachers unions will not allow schools to open. obviously, that is what is best for our children. jedediah: pastor, lower income families is a key point here. can you just peek to low income families and how they have suffered throughout the opening of schools, because they ea lie on -- rely on those for meals, they have no choice but to go to work, can you speak to that a little bet? >> absolutely. we have children who are at risk emotionally, psychologically and now educationally.

the schools need, we need the school learning system, and we have to put our kids in a system where they can continue to learn, especially to provide for their educational needs. and as you well stated, some of these children depend on those meals for breakfast and for lunch. so now we're going to step in and do those things because it's necessary. we cannot allow our children to be left behind. only three out of every ten children in chicago in our area completed virtual classes the last semester when this pandemic i first took off. so we cannot allow our children to be the left behind, are learning loss and experience the continued loss they're already experiencing in our community. we have to step up and do everything necessary to make sure that we give our kids everything that they need to succeed. jedediah: yeah. well, dr. saphier and pastor brooks, thank you so much for being here. obviously, this changes day e to day, so we're going to keep tabs

[laughter] do you notice? joe's not wearing a helmet. i'm sure the cdc guidelineses and dr. fauci are going to be upset about this. wearing a mask riding a bicycle in public. we had this fellow from axios, i think it was him who really scored points against the president or one of them did. thaw all sound alike in the media.

what evidence do you have that mail-in voting doesn't work? we've had it in florida and other places, we've never had tens of millions of people flood the system, collapse the system with mail-in voting, and that's exactly what the democrats are up to. let me give the media some evidence. here's a piece in just the news. half a million, half a million -- by my calculation, that's 500,000 -- incorrect absentee ballot applications sent across virginia including to dead people. look at this one, nevada sent more than 200,000 mail and primary ballots to the wrong addresses. wow. by my calculation, that's now 700,000. 84,000 mail-in ballots disqualified in new york city primary vote. wow. california we checked at 102,000 mail-in ballots because of mistakes. new mexico, all mail-in -- new jersey, all mail-in vote is a debacle for november. here's one, u.s. would be

laughingstock. most countries, especially in europe, ban mail-in voting to fight mass fraud and -- now, if you're in the media, how do you miss these things? because you're liars, that's how you miss these things. if you don't mind, i'd like to hit these executive orders because nancy pelosi's very upset the president signed these executive orderses at his country club. should he have signed them in front of her $25,000 freezer at her winery? would she have preferred that? the president is trying to and now will get money to people who are suffering, their families. they need their unemployment compensation. he's trying to protect representers. democrat governors have shut down this economy from sea to shining sea, and they like it both ways, the democrats. way tonight to lock -- they want to lock up everybody, and then they want to complain about the economic consequences. it ain't gonna cut it. and then they say this president,ing look what he's doing. let me tell you, payback is a

bitch. do you remember obama with his phone and his pen? well, apparently, he left them, and president trump pucked it up. remember what he said? if the republicans don't act, he's going to act on his own? we have daca, a real piece of legislation. and by the way, the chief justice of the united states said he didn't have any problem with this, so the president of the united states wants to reduce the tax burden on americans, and that includes democrats. he wants to make it possible for people to pay their represent, and he wants to make it possible for people to have food on the table. and nancy e moses, what was their priority? they want to open the borders for illegal aliens, they want benefits for illegal aliens and all of america to bail out new york, new jersey, illinois and california's pension systems. anding mean while, their biggest supporters, the teachers unions, are like george wallace standing in the school doorways, not allowing our little kids to go to school because they won't follow the science, right,

dr. fauci? follow the science, follow the science. well, the science says open the schools, but the democrats won't. why? chaos. chaos! griff: you are hitting everything, and that is why we love having you, but let me go back just for a moment because people may have forgotten, you ran the doj under ed meese back in the draw -- >> i didn't run it, i was chief of staff. griff: you were running it. [laughter] attorney general bill barr is so important this election because of the pandemic, and you talk to him about the issues with mail-in voting. let me play a clip and get your thoughts on the other side. >> in our society e and keeping the peace are discussion and voting. and right now we're a very divided country politically. our elections have been very close. they can turn on one state, on just a few districts, and people

have to have confidence in the outcome or we're going to have real problems in this country. and i think the people who want to experiment with different ways of voting right now, which are predictably, you know, can predictably create problems of integrity, are playing with fire and are grossly irresponsible. griff: you can see more of that important interview tonight on "life, liberty and levin." mark, from what you learned from attorney general barr, what do you think this means for our election? >> i think what the democrats are doing, let's keep something in mind. when it comes to elections, they are run by states, and they're run by localities which is always amazing to me when i hear leftists like lebron james say there's an intention aal effort to suppress the vote by these national republicans. every county decides how many precincts are going to be open, the states are deciding mail-in or not mail-in, the president has absolutely no say.

republicans in blue cities and states have absolutely no say. so let's make that point. ever hear of 966 these two socialist professors said flood the system, flood the system. create anarchy and chaos in the system. the system breakses down, then move in for power. talk control. and by the way, blame your opponent, blame your enemy for the system collapsing, and you can see they've been doing this from the start where you have this fool, james clyburn -- the president of the united states, he doesn't want to leave office. we're going to have to send in the u.s. marshals. that's their talking points. the president never said he wouldn't leave office. all of us see what's going on. the states are incapable of doing 100 million potentially or 80 million or 60 million people with mail-in voting. we've never seen this before. states like nevada who illegally rushed out through their legislature and went around the

republican secretary of state. why are they doing this, why are they suddenly this year with this president interested in mail-in voting? to collapse it, to overwhelm it. biden's hired 600 lawyers. 600. they're ready to litigate in state like gore started to litigate against bush. and no matter what, they're going to claim victory. if trump wins the battle ground statements by a few thousand, they're going to say he suppressed the vote, look at the mail-in vote. they want this thing extended so even if he wins they can call him a fake president the way they did, by the way, to bush 43. let me be honest, the democrats today are very, very evil. it's the bernie sanders party. they can't give it up. they were evil during the confederacy and slavery, they were evil a hundred years later with segregation, now they're evil with their phony democratic socialism. it's a very evil party.

look at pelosi. pelosi doesn't give a damn about the working people in this country. chuck schumer, i see them walk out together and i think of to, wow, there's mayor tissue shah and gomez from the addams family. he's shuffling behind her, they've got their talking points down, they're playing class warfare, they're playing race warfare, whatever they can. they don't want to run against donald trump. i thaw want to run against somebody they create. meanwhile, joe biden. are we really are, as americans, going to put up with this when we have a candidate who doesn't even have the guts to talk to and meet the american people when a minimum wage grocery clerk does? i go to the store, i wear my mask, a hat, gloves on, whatever's required, you know, raincoats, i'm out there. you're out in society. we have 10% unemployment. you know what that means? we have 90% employment. people are still funking. but joe -- functioning. joe biden's among the up employed, hiding in the

basement. i just wanted to mention one other thing if we have a minute. joe biden likes to talk about the virus, what he would do. first of all, that's kind of a joke. joe biden wouldn't do anything. he'd be issuing e-mails. but we have a case where joe biden was put to the test in 2009 with the swine flu, the h1n1. we have facts. politico, another left-wing site, biden has fought a pandemic before, it didn't go so smoothly. and he had his chief of staff say, man, we screwed up everything. the fact that more people didn't die, that was luck on the vaccine. late, way under numbers, skew-up after screw-up. this is the joe biden record. and not only that, obama administration hut down h1n1 testing. they said, hey, it's a pandemic, what's the point of keeping numbers, right? meanwhile, you watch tv today, there's a chart. everybody who's got the virus, the numbers are added.

everybody who's sick from the virus, number's added. everybody who's passed away -- tell you what's interesting about this very quickly. two to three times more people die from cancer every year. why don't the media put that on the chart? that i affects up to 700,000 americans die every year from cancer. i don't see that chart. i don't see the care of the media for people who die from cannes canner, who died from heart attacks and heart disease and strokes. i see one of those charts day in and day out. for some reason, and we know the reason, this pandemic -- do you remember them having charts on tv screens during the swine flu in -- of course you don't because obama was president of the united states. the american people are on to the media, they're on to this election and hopefully there's enough of us left to do the right thing. jedediah: mark, we want to thank you so much for joining us today. people can catch the rest of mark levin's amazing interview with attorney general bill barr

president trump: so we're all setup. it's $400 per week, and we're doing that without the democrats we should have been able to do it very easily with them but they want all of these additional things that have nothing to do with helping people. jedediah: that is president trump taking covid-19 relief into his own hands by signing several executive orders. griff: the orders include $400 per week and several unemployment payments and extension for student loan relief, eviction protections and a payroll tax holiday for workers earning $100,000 a year. pete: also they did not include giving stimulus checks to illegal immigrants as democrats

wanted, senate minority leader chuck schumer, nancy pelosi called the orders "meager" urging republicans to come back to the negotiating table welcome to the final hour of"fox & friends" here on this sunday addition. welcome jedediah, welcome swamp monster griff. always love having you here and the president was not in the swamp yesterday, he was up in new jersey, signed this executive order and created i think a tough situation for democrats who have been obst inant for a couple of weeks moving off the act they believe should happen, $3 trillion he pointed out time and time again this is money for voter id, money that would in validate signatures on ballots, money spent on flooding the system with mail-in ballots. he also said democrats were looking for a big price tag on something they shouldn't be asking for at this critical moment. here is apportion of what the president said. president trump: we have repeatedly stated our willing

willingness to immediately sign legislation, provide expanded unemployment benefits, protecting americans from eviction, and providing additional relief payments to families. democrats have refused these offers. they want to negotiate. what they really want is bailout money for states that are run by democrat governors and mayors, and that have been run very badly for many many years and many decades. jedediah: you have nancy pelosi saying republicans should come back to the negotiating table. well they were at the negotiat ing table for what seemed like forever and they were coming, republicans were saying hey listen. here is this option let's do it as piecemeal. can we provide relief this way, can we do this offered a number of alternatives i think it was four or more democrats said no thank you we want this big bulk package, bundle this stuff in, capitalize on this catastrophe unfortunately for many people at home who were waiting for this money and hoping someone would come to their aid so although an executive order is not the route that i would suggest for this and i don't like it i was highly critical on

the past administration on executive orders when it came to daca and the aca, you have to wonder what do you do when backed into a corner dealing with democrats who have people who are clamerring saying we've had our businesses shutdown, we've seen rioting come through the cities the pandemic has affected our family, we have medical bills, no money coming in, someone has to help us. so president trump stepped up to the plate. this is his means by which to do so and the measures enclosed in this executive order will bring a lot of relief to people if it does in fact get to them. griff: jed the struggling americans are not likely to get a deal from congress. speaker pelosi has not even tried to hide the fact that she believes she has the upper hand, that the political landscape is in her favor and she's essentially just refused anything short of what she originally demanded. it's not even accurate, perhaps to even say they've been negotiating when you've had meadows and mnuchin continuing to offer things like extensions

of unemployment benefits. we had mark levine the great one as he's called on this program calling out pelosi and the democrats on their agenda over covid-19. here is what he had to say. >> the president is trying to get money to people who are suffering. their families. they need their unemployment compensation. he's trying to protect renters. democrat governors have shut down this economy from sea to shining sea and nancy pelosi, what was their priority? they want to destroy the electoral system. they want open borders for illegal aliens, they want benefits for illegal aliens and all of america to bailout new york, new jersey, illinois, and california's pension systems. pete: mark levine said barack obama famously talked about his pen and his phone if congress won't act i will and he said well he must have forgotten that pen and phone at the white house and he said karma is a [you know

what] and ultimately elections have consequences and donald trump tried to work with congress and notice pelosi and schumer are not challenging the legality of this. maybe there will be lawsuits but ultimately this is going to get to people. they say it's unworkable, weak and narrow, of course they're wrong on the first two counts but they're right it is narrow and griff on the unemployment supplement all, remember states are still providing unemployment it's the supplemental 600 the president brought it down to 400 because as we've heard on this program and a lot of people have, that amount of money has been a disincentive because a lot of people are making more than they made while on the payrolls and businesses want to rehire, that's how you get the engine and the economy moving again, so, this is a bet by the trump campaign they can flip or not the trump campaign, the trump white house, that they can flip the script on pelosi, who thought as jed as you said she had the upper hand and now the ball is in their court, they aren't going to figure it out and people say because of president trump and this executive order my needs are being met and we could push

through this moment. jedediah: she thought she had the upper hand, i apologize griff, she thought everyone was going to blame trump and if she resist and did nothing that people would say oh, president trump is in power and he's done nothing and he's turning around saying no actually i'm going to do something and circumvent you because you're not allowing me to help these people and i'll sign this executive order which is not the way i've wanted to go about this but don't forget this is a crisis time. this isn't just the president sitting there saying oh, do you know what? about immigration, i feel this way. let me just sign the executive order. no you have the whole country is in distress. people are grieving members of their family that have been lost their businesses have been shutdown, they've worked their entire lives where their cities are sometimes up in flames because democrat mayors and governors are not doing their jobs so they are pleading with any politician anywhere, regardless of party to help them , and only one seems to be answering the call as i see it. griff: you know, you have such a

good point, pete the states will pay up to 25% on top of that but look let's step back and remember that mnuchin and meadows seeing drastic situation so many americans were struggl ing in offered a short-term extension of the full 600 unemployment benefits. this is by all accounts a big gamble that speaker pelosi is making that donald trump will lose in november and she just wants to move until post- election and then perhaps she will come back with a different sort of solution if you will when she has a democrat stronghold. meanwhile, an issue that won't wait until november at least for millions of teenagers across america is what is the future of tiktoc? the wall street journal telling us that twitter and tiktok have held preliminary talks about possible combination. i don't know. we'll see , a lot of teenagers upset with the president for

banning tiktok, possibly they can revamp into a u.s.- based company, but will they still be a threat and do they have a connection to the chinese communist party is the question. pete: yeah, that's all that matters in my mind is are they still afixed to the communist chinese who can vacuum up all the data of young people and grandparents trying to make videos that are funny as well. the other portion is apparently the legal battle is brewing as well and tiktok is preparing to sue the trump adminitration over the president's executive orders banning the chinese app from the u.s.. wait. the communist chinese-own company is planning to sue the trump adminitration to try to keep their espionage and surveillance in our country. the president is saying you're out or you must combine with an american company. that was originally supposed to be microsoft we'll see if it is. i don't feel like twitter is any better, twitter is left-wing they've shown the willingness to sensor conservatives, so it's maybe better than the communist

chinese, but twitter, we know exactly what they stand for right now as well, so be interesting to see how the president he's put the ball in tiktok's court and china's court. what do they do? i dare them to try to stare down the president we'll see and a lawsuit? jedediah: yeah, twitter is highly controversial. you have people fleeing twitter to go to places like parlor because they feel like conservatives are being shutdown so i think this be a very different conversation if they were a neutral party that were coming forward but twitter is not viewed by many particularly those on social media to be neutral so interesting to see how this plays out griff. griff: i just hope the dadasauru s goes from tiktok or some form of instagram. pete: i forgot. griff: turning to your headlines starting with a fox news alert president trump talking with your leaders this morning about financial aid for lebanon after the deadly explosion in beirut. the blast killed at least 220 people and caused billions of dollars in damage. protesters storming government

buildings overnight, more than 250 people were hurt in violent clashes, demonstrators hanging n euces in the street as they demand government leader s right now. also, a strong earthquake, 5.2 centering in sparta, north carolina and the usgs says it's the strongest earthquake in the state since 1916 and it was felt in neighboring virginia and tennessee. right now think are no reports of major damage or injuries. we'll be following it. >> overnight america's got talent judge, simon cowell goes surgery after breaking his back in an electric bike accident. the spokesperson says cowell fell off the bike while testing it out with his family at their malibu home. the american idol judge is said to be doing fine as he recovers at a hospital. >> this is the story of the day. a pitcher loses a no-hitter after his teammate loses track

of a fly ball, watch. >> this is an extra interesting delivery. he can't find the ball! and that is how the no-hitter ends. griff: giants outfielder hunter pence appearing to lose a routine fly ball in the light in the sixth inning. the play was ruled a hit and not an error, and the pitcher couldn't believe it. pence says he feels awful, the giants went on to beat the dodgers 5-4. those are your headlines and pete and i have been testing and debating this almost at every break this morning and i looked up the rule just to give it to you, and the mlb rule is a fielder is given an error if in the judgment of the official score he fails to convert an out on a play that an average field er should have made. pence, you should have caught that. pete: i feel like that should have been an error but twitter is also pointing other people

are texting me saying he didn't touch the ball, and a ball like this is not, it's really hit and the playbook, a lot of people are saying something like that he misses it, it has to be a hit because it didn't make the glove but wouldn't they have said the same thing about bill buckne r then, it went through his legs didn't hit his gloves shouldn't that be a hit and not an error? that looks like an error to me and average play. cost him the no hitter. jed what say you? jedediah: i'm going to avoid complete embarrassment and just not weigh in on this one. i'm sure you guys can figure out why as can the people at home. all right, still ahead, it has been 75 years since the second atomic bomb was dropped on the city of nagasaki. the historic moment leading to the end of world war ii, our next guest is a military historian and discusses the significance of that fate full day. if your dry eye symptoms keep coming back,

inflammation in your eye might be to blame. looks like a great day for achy, burning eyes over-the-counter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. ha! these drops probably won't touch me. xiidra works differently, targeting inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. what is that? xiidra, noooo! it can provide lasting relief. xiidra is the only fda approved treatment specifically for the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. one drop in each eye, twice a day. don't use if you're allergic to xiidra. common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort or blurred vision

when applied to the eye, and unusual taste sensation. don't touch container tip to your eye or any surface. after using xiidra, wait 15 minutes before reinserting contacts. got any room in your eye? talk to an eye doctor about twice-daily xiidra. i prefer you didn't! xiidra. not today, dry eye.

pete: today marks 75 years since

the u.s. dropped the second nuclear bomb on nagasaki three days after dropping the first one on hiroshima, leading to japan's unconditional surrender and ultimately the end of world war ii here military historian and author of the book, crubible and saul davi d, thank you so much for being here and do we as we step back 75 years share the significance of that moment and how history has looked on it since. >> well two important points to make. the first point is i don't think truman had a choice there's a lot of debate about whether or not nuclear weapons should have been used, were the japanese going to surrender and all of the evidence points to the country and we need to see it in the context in the battle of okinawa, which caused huge casualties over 100,000 civilians and over 100,000 japanese servicemen, and

truman was absolutely convinced that if the military's plans to invade japan which were going to take place in the autumn and also the spring of 1946 were to go ahead they would see millions of casualties and we're not just talking about american casualties. we're also interesting enough given my own homeland talking about the british as well and of course probably millions of japanese too, so it seems to me to be a complete no-brainer that given these weapons were available,truman should decide to use them. the next question you ask of course is once they've been used what good can come out of them? as you've already rightly pointed out it ended the war but more significantly for me its meant that we haven't had another clash of major powers since then, so although it's a sad day, the loss of life at least 40,000 japanese lost their life in the bombing of nagasaki we haven't had another major clash since. pete: of course our enemies were racing for the bomb as well. we were fortunate enough to get it first and had, i mean, they looked at the island-

hopping campaign and loss of lives of americans. do you think truman second guessed it or is he pretty certain this is the moment he had to use it even though he didn't want to. >> what's interesting when he became president he wasn't even aware there was a program and bear in mind he was only president for a couple months at the beginning of the battle of okinawa so he got up to speed pretty quickly and he's been told they are working on this bomb, they think it'll work but they don't know until they test it so the key moment is when it's actually tested in new mexico in the middle of july and it's at that point that everyone is united in what they should do next and when i say everyone i include his senior scientific advisors who are convinced it needs to be used, it needs to be used against a major center and one thing to remember about nagasaki, you know, people always talk about the civilian casualties and there were many but it was actually an industrial-enabled complex that's why it was chosen. truman had deliberately decided not to target either tokyo or

kioto, the old imperial capitol because that would have been he felt a crime against the japanese people but to target a military place like nagasaki is the same, that was considered to be more acceptable , so, you're quite right and i think if the nuclear weapons had got into the german hands, or certainly into the soviet hands of course they developed the bomb after the second world war, the world would have been a lot worse off. it was just as well. it was very good certainly for the western world and the rest of the world in my view that america got there. pete: amen to that, saul david you're a testament to why history has to be told and remembered because decisions like that you take them outside of the moment they're easy and when you recognize where we were at that moment and the decision truman had to make, you could start to understand it, saul david thank you so much, great stuff. all right, coming up a texas magazine refusing to run this a d for a local boutique over its support for law enforcement shown in the picture the owner of that boutique tells us why she's not backing down,

griff: we're back with quick headlines. ohio governor mike dewine testing negative for covid-19 for the second time the governor initially tested positive ahead of a meeting with president trump on thursday, and that result turned out to be a false positive. tweeting in part, thank you to everyone who sent along good wishes for our family and staff. we're in this together, ohio. >> and this , border agents seizing several fake covid-19 products at ports along the east coast, including counterfeit hydroxychloroquine pills, fake tests and bogus face masks. agents say the products came from several places including

mexico and hong kong. jed? jedediah: thank you, griff. a small business in texas is facing controversy for its pro- police support. the owner of la boutique says texas living magazine rejected this advertisement, this one right here, featuring a picture of the boutique with a "we back the blue" sign for sale. the magazine saying the ad violates its no politics policy. joining us is the owner of that boutique. welcome to the show we're glad to have you here so what is your reaction first and foremost to the rejection of the ad by this magazine? >> well, thanks for having me, and so my reaction is the magazine is allowed to have whatever beliefs that they want. it just doesn't line up with what we believe in and i'm just not willing to change the picture because it is what we stand for , and so i have nothing bad to say about the magazine as a whole.

they've been very nice about it. it just is not something that we're willing to agree with. jedediah: now, we have a statement from texas living, and it says the following and we'll get your response once we read it. political views have become incredibly divisive in this current climate and we want texas living to be a force for unity not to vision. if we were to allow political views we agree with that would not be fair to those with differing views and it would alienate people and potentially subject other advertisers to attacks from the cancel culture internet mob so essentially they're saying we stay out of politics completely regardless of the cause at hand. what do you make of that? >> to me, back the blue should have never been a political statement. it is standing for people that put their lives on the line for us every single day, and so to them it may be political, to me and my family it's not. it's just something that we stand for , and something that

we stand behind, and i am married to a police officer, so again, to me it's not a political statement by any means and that's not what we were going for. it's just simply to show our support. jedediah: is that why the back the blue is so important to you because you are married to a police officer and have that in your family? >> well it is as a whole and i also have friends that are in police but just growing up, i was always taught to just respect the law and respect the people that put their lives on the line for us and so yes, i am married to a police officer and yes it is a big deal for me and i just think that the world has gotten to a place that we've kind of lost sight of that and so for us, it was just showing that we do back them and the signs are simply for people to put in their yard, so cops know that not everybody is against them and that they do have a big following and a standing with them, so yeah. jedediah: what has been the reaction to the community if

they know about the fact that your ad was rejected maybe they know maybe they don't know but do you have the support of the community? >> oh, absolutely. i mean, i think with anything, no matter what side you stand on , i think that once you take a stand you are going to have people that you get backlash from, but for us, the majority of the people have been extreme ly supportive of it, and we erred on local sus just the other day and since they we have had an outpouring of people that came in our shop just to purchase the sign, just to show their support, and show that they're with us and we've also had an outreach of people from all over saying that they've seen our story and now they want us to mail them signs to other cities and other states. jedediah: wylea brown, thank you so much for being here. please thank your husband for his service and many people around the country support back the blue as much as you do and

feel very strongly about it so what you've said resonates with many today. thank you so much. >> thank you so much. jedediah: coming up, the president calling out joe biden's shift to the left. president trump: biden is totally controlled now by the bernie sanders left wing of the party and in fact he's gone further left than bernie sanders ever dreampt of going. jedediah: so can biden still call himself a moderate? that is the question, and mike huckabee has an answer, he's on deck. ♪

president trump: biden is totally controlled now by the bernie sanders left wing of the party and in fact, he's gone further left than bernie sanders ever dreampt of going, so obviously, other than bernie have brought him left. if you look at the manifesto they've agreed to, it's far from the left than i've ever heard anything about bernie sanders. griff: that was the president yesterday in bedminster. we want to bring in now former arkansas governor and fox news contributor mike huckabee to ask him, good morning to you, governor. >> griff good morning. you know i was listening to the president, he's not really off the mark here. what normally happens is the candidate in the primary will run to the base, and then as soon as they have the

nomination, they run to the center. joe biden has not done that. joe biden even in recent days after he has more than absolutely grabbed the nomination, has talked about the fact that he'll be the most progressive president ever. he's proud of that and he's running on that, and i think that ought to make americans wake up and realize that if joe biden gets elected, it's going to be unlike anybody. democrat you've ever seen before jedediah: so the question is why though? why is he doing that and is it strategically smart? is he just worried that the bernie sanders or aoc wing of the party will just stay home and he needs them to get out and vote? could it be strategically right what he's doing? >> jedi think that is a big part of it but only one part. i think the other part quite frankly is that joe wants to be president so bad he'll say anything, he'll do anything. if he thinks that it will get him into that position.

this has been his holy grail. remember how many times he has run for the office, and usually, he gets derailed like it was back in 1988 because of plagerism. right now, joe would do well to go back and plagerize some of his own speeches because the speeches of joe biden in 2016 or 2008 or 2012 or even 1988 plagerized as they were, they were certainly more moderate types of policies he would projecting. he's now thrown caution to the wind and he says i'll raise your taxes, i'll take your guns i'll open your borders, i will regulate the economy, i will put more power in the federal government, i will allow abortion, not just to happen but i'll federally fund it. i'll enforce multiple genders, enforce states and churches to acknowledge it. that's radical, and add to that energy. he's going to totally transform the energy to the green new deal , and i don't care what your politics are. i don't know many people that want to double the price they

pay for gasoline, heating and cooling in their homes, or their businesses, and that's what you're going to get with joe biden so if you like that, he's your guy. pete: governor you mentioned abortion on demand, genderrism, those types of topics. well biden is still trying to get the christian vote he released believers for biden a couple weeks ago. a couple notes there was a headline an op-ed asking the question could these evangelical democrats change the party, they are horrified by trump and hope to full their fellow christians away from the gop but need to sway a very secular party and catholic votes another organization that's pointed out where biden has fallen short, they said catholic churches across america are literally burning and joe biden has said nothing. these attacks on the church raise serious questions about the commitment of joe biden a self-pro possessed catholic to stand up to the rising climate across the country. i guess the question is, governor, do religious voters have any common ground with the democrat party today as it

stands? >> less than they've had in the last 50 years. the democratic party has been slowly moving further and further to the left on issues that matter to many believers such as israel, abortion, traditional marriage. these are areas where if the government and society as a whole doesn't want to embrace a babely call standard, christians just want to be left the heck alone. we don't want someone to impose a very secular leftist standard on the church. donald trump has been a champion for religious liberty. joe biden is a champion for the left. that's the choice that people make and i'll tell you, this article in politico, i read that and thought this is wishful thinking on the part of the media. this is where leftists are trying to get up this idea that somehow, joe biden is appealing to people of faith. that's utter nonsense. i don't know of anybody, people of faith, who think joe biden is a great choice. now, granted, some of them aren't happy with everything donald trump says or tweets,

but i tell you they're not going to go with biden that's not an option. jedediah: governor mike huckabee , weighing in beautifully as always, thanks for bringing the insight we appreciate it. pete: thanks governor. >> thank you, guys. jedediah: we're going to turn to some headlines for you now, because people are hurt in a boat explosion on a colorado reservoir. witnesses say the group had just left the marina after having engine trouble. >> i mean, they had like a second or two just to even realize what was happening, but everybody was jumping off the boat. jedediah: one person was airlift ed to a hospital. four others were treated at a hospital and an investigation is underway. >> and senator bernie sanders wants to tax the wealthy even during a pandemic. sanders says his proposal would set a one-time 60% tax on billionaires who are making more money during the pandemic. that includes amazon jeff bezos, tesla's elon musk and facebook's mark zuckerberg. sanders says the money would go

toward healthcare for all americans. >> and one college football team was in the right place at the right time. the players from dixie state university in utah helping a woman dangling from a rock after getting her hair tangled. wow. the students say they used their training to save her. >> we do this every day and we get bigger and stronger and faster every day so we might as well use it in the real-world >> anybody would have done that to help somebody out who was struggling. jedediah: the players were a team building exercise and those are your headlines. pete: when you're in trouble on the edge of the cliff just hope there's a football team nearby, because you're in luck. griff: speaking of teams let's toss it over to rick, gino and k ioto in the weather center, rick how are you? rick: they're quiet for now, i got them sleeping on both sides of me right here. yes, st. george, utah such a beautiful area all that southern utah is amazing those guys are lucky to be there and the woman

lucky they were as well. here is the rain we're going to get this week. take a look at your area. one thing to note absolutely no rain coming across parts of the southwest this is monsoon season and when we need moisture we're not getting it. that's not good news. we also have quite a bit of moisture we'll get across parts of the plains, and you know where you are and if you need any more moisture it could cause agricultural problems there. temps really warming up again today across parts of the southeast, already warm and in towards the north east we'll start to see about a three-day period of temps into the 90s and we still have a few people without power so not good news. few showers pop-up again later on today across parts of florida and in throughout areas of the southeast, mid-atlantic looking a little bit better and we'll watch areas of the northern plains again where we've got more severe weather this morning not that bad but we'll see this refire later on today and severe weather go again. all right guys send it back to you. pete: thank you very much rick, i'll tell you your dogs are more popular than you. you're a popular guy but your dogs -- rick: way more popular. pete: rick thanks a lot brother. if you don't have fox nation

here is another reason why you have to get it. it's providing content you'll never get from a netflix, never from these left wing streaming services. here is another example called 100 bible versus that changed america. only on fox nation, here is a clip from this great special, watch. >> many of the events that shape the mind set of colonial america occurred because of biblical sermons preached by gifted pastors. no one embodies that more than jonathan edwards. edwards words struck with super natural force. people began to moan, to weep audibly, and even to scream , and the ensuing revival became a part of the great awakening, a movement of the holy spirit over new england and the colonies. pete: very very interesting so it breaks down all these versus and the impact it had on our founders on our founding and declaration pointing out the christian roots, really, of

our nation so from now until august 22, you can get a free copy of shawn hannity's new book live free or die by signing up for fox nation's one year patriot plan, head to foxnation .com for that book and this great content. griff: check it out. still ahead, president trump taking matters into his own hands, signing an executive order to fast-track aid to millions of americans and the democrats still aren't happy. maria bartiromo gives us her take, coming up, next.

if you have moderate to severe psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis, little things can become your big moment. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats differently. for psoriasis, 75% clearer skin is achievable, with reduced redness, thickness, and scaliness of plaques. for psoriatic arthritis, otezla is proven to reduce joint swelling, tenderness, and pain. and the otezla prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't use if you're

allergic to otezla. it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. upper respiratory tract infection and headache may occur. tell your doctor about your medicines and if you're pregnant or planning to be. otezla. show more of you.

jedediah: we're back with some quick sports headlines. the mid-american conference postponing its entire fall season because of coronavirus. the college sports league says its formalizing plans to move forward including football and soccer to spring 2021. it hasn't made a decision on its winter season yet. >> and the st. louis cardinals could see their fourth straight series postponed as they struggle with a virus outbreak.

espn reporting the monday game against the pittsburgh pirates is postponed with tuesday and wednesday up in the air. the team which has 16 confirmed cases hasn't played since july 29. over to you, griff. griff: all right, jed thanks well, coming up today on "sunday morning futures" senator lindsey graham and house minority leader kevin mccarthy, one topic we can surely expect the economy as the president signs several executive orders for covid-19 relief. jedediah: but democrats are blasting the move and demanding the gop get back to the negotiating table. here to weigh in "sunday morning futures" host maria bartiromo. so maria, welcome as always and no surprises that democrats be lasting this move, right? maria: yeah, it's true. i mean, the president has been talking about this urgency need ing to get money into people 's pockets at this time because of the unemployment benefits having expired on friday, and that's why it was so important to get something done

now. the president is now bypassing congress. he has done an executive order to provide $300 from the federal government and he's asking the states to fund an extra $100 in weekly benefits which brings the number to 400. that is down from the $600 that people were getting for staying home and that was the issue because many people complained that people were actually making more money to stay home than to actually go back to work. we'll see what happens. we've got congressman kevin mccarthy on to talk about really where the issues were in terms of the democrats refusing to go to the negotiating table. they're now complaining about the president but if something wasn't done we would have seen this economy take another leg down. we've already entered a weak spot as we've just seen with the jobs numbers for the month of july. pete: maria do you think the tailored nature of this will have a big economic upside. he was very intentional about the 300 or 400 instead of 600 to incentivize people to get back to work but how do you

anticipate affecting the markets but really the economy overall? maria: no, i think that the markets will like that. i think that we will see the markets trade higher on this because everyone was very cautious going into this weekend , wondering where we be with any stimulus. we have hit a rough spot and a weak spot in the economy. we were beginning a recovery in may and june as we saw from the jobs numbers as well as the retail sales numbers, but this last month in july was weaker than expected and it was all the way down from what we saw in june. actually it was better-than-expected but the expectations were lowered so in june, you had 4.8 million jobs created for the month and then in july, you just had not even 1.5 million, so it was a big drop-off. that's why we needed the stimulus now, so that this did not get longer and deeper than we already feel it, this break in the recovery. griff: "sunday morning futures" maria coming up in about 13 minutes a great lineup. maria: i just want to say, we've got a breaking news, we have an

audio tape that you're going to want to hear from an insider from spygate. he worked with stefan halper, who was an informant and we have breaking news from the senate judiciary committee as well. it could be a smoking gun on how the fbi spoke to congress about the dossier. pete: i saw that in the note about your show maria you have a surprise guest. you know how to tease television griff: indeed it's going to be big, senator lindsey graham i happen to know it tune in in about 12 minutes. pete: well done. maria: thank you. pete: meanwhile yesterday, pete completed an incredible feet and he swam across the hudson river for the second time to raise money for our nation's heros we'll take a look at the highlights and we'll talk to some navy seals to swam beside him. >> ♪ ♪

pete: welcome back guys, well you know a year ago i swam for a great cause, gi go fund and i didn't quite make it i needed some help and i got towed on a jet ski. i vowed this year when i did it again i would make it and now on the program we did two hours of coverage, thank you very much for doing that. of the swim with these navy seal s it was amazing but we kept swimming for an hour and a half after the cameras turned off so we put it all into a big video segment so we could share it with you this morning take a look. today is the day i've been dreading and looking forward to i'm going to join the gi go fund and a bunch of navy seals and we're going to try to swim across the hudson river.

guys this was the hardest stretch last year, didn't make it, i'm hoping this year i did. i finished the first leg by myself, no jet skiis this year, no help. the current was bad and the motivation of the statue of liberty and these amazing men kept me going and i wanted to quit and i never did. as much as it is about the gi go fund and entrepreneurship and all those great things it's about honoring the legacy of the guys. >> absolutely it's about our brothers in arms. >> being out here with the statue of liberty with the fellow veterans seals, army, marines it's incredible. griff: at each stop they have to do 100 pushups and 20 pullups. pete: i did my first round of pullups and then she did way more than me because she's a beast. talk to me about why you're here >> i'm here because my husband is one of the seals and he was part of the honor foundation which is a program that helps them as they transition out of the military. he asked if i wanted to join. we've done a couple triathalons

and things so i got to join in and be a part of the fun today which is awesome. pete: talk to me about your background and what brings you here today. >> it's just such an honor to be here. i grew up right by the iron curtain and to me like america, it was a dream. i was very fortunate, we got an offer to come here and then i swam for four olympic games and i've lived the american dream. >> it is fitting that the run ends right here at the south tower of the 9/11 memorial. remembering the names of those we lost that day and i'll tell you these guys, these seals never forget. you talk to them about why they went on multiple deployments, combat tours over two decades and they point to what changed their lives that date on september 11 and their desire to do whatever they can to keep america free and strong and with the gi go fund it's an extension of that helping out their brothers who come home to make sure they're not forgotten as well so this day, yes it's about swimming to the hudson, it's a lot of fun but

it's ultimately about honoring freedom, security, and sacrifice of those who have given their lives. griff: and three of those former navy seals who got pete through that, mark, krz and bill join us right now. bill you organized this. what are your final thoughts after being completed? >> the swim was epic. the beautiful men and women who did the swim they did it to send a message. we wanted the statue of liberty to honor our freedoms and civil liberties. when we went to ellis island to honor our nations diversity and the men and women who came for a great nation for a better life, we went to 9/11 to honor all of the men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom and it was an epic event and beautiful men and women came together to send that message and we're so grateful for fox and for pete for helping promote that. thank you so much.

jedediah: guys it's pretty amazing what you do i'm honestly watching this in awe of all of you. i know pete wants to do this again next year so i'm going to ask in advance do you have any tips he can start training for right now? >> learn how to guide. >> [laughter] >> trust his swim buddy. pete: it's true i was zig zag ging, you were right there with me the whole time. thank you, by the way, which i need to say on the air, and they did make it longer this year didn't they? >> oh, yeah, we earned our pay yesterday, for sure. i think we were expecting somewhere around three miles and it was definitely three-plus miles but despite how tough and how grueling it was, you know, all three of us seals up here and yourself, pete, we've all had the honor to serve in uniform and its been a privilege now to continue to be able to serve out of uniform and to help our fellow veterans.

pete: amen god bless you guys. the navy seals are amazing. this event is fantastic. id can y wear away at the enamel which over time can cause sensitivity and a lot of people start to see their teeth turn yellow. i like to recommend pronamel to my patients to help them protect their teeth and keep the enamel strong. i like to recommend pronamel to my patients from grills to play setsutdoor and more one of a kind finds. it all ships free. and with new deals every day you can explore endless options at every price point. get your outdoor oasis delivered fast so you can get the good times going. ♪ wayfair. you've got just what i need. ♪
