leland: president trump taking action when congress could not. he's extending the unemployment payments for upwards of 30 million americans who have been hit so hard by the coronavirus pandemic. but you know, it's a bit complicated. the white house says it can redirect unspent funds to do this. but questions remain on whether or not the executive orders are legal under the constitution. hello, welcome to america's news headquarters. i'm eric shawn. hi, arthel. arthel: hi gen everyone, i'm arthel neville. the president says he's confident his actions will survive any legal challenges but house speaker nancy pelosi says

otherwise. >> it's going to be distributed in a way that -- whichever the fastest way. there are various methods. if we get sued, it's somebody that doesn't want people to get money. okay? and that's not going to be a very popular thing. >> when you look at those executive orders, either the kindest thing i could say is he doesn't know what he's talking about. or something's wrong there. something's very, very wrong there. arthel: lauren blanchard is live in washington on where we go from here. but we start with mark meredith, following the president in bridgewater, new jersey. hey, mark. >> reporter: arthel, good afternoon. president trump says with congress dead locked he had no other choice but to go it alone to try to stimulate the economy. there is a lot of talk about how helpful the measures may end up being. what the president's doing, it deals with student loans, basically allowing people to not have to pay them temporarily right now. he's designating the housing department to make sure they can work to prevent foreclosures and

evictions. it will temporarily stop the payroll tax collection for some workers. it's based on how much money you make, roughly if you make under $100,000, your payroll tax would be temporarily stopped being collected for now. you mayo it next we're -- may owe it next year. it would allow for an extra $400 in unemployment insurance but the states would have to contribute $100. the white house is directing money from the fema disaster relief fund to pay for the unemployment insurance. the administration says it continues to think the democrats are stonewall oing on a more comprehensive package. >> nancy pelosi and chuck schumer have chosen to hold the vital assistance hostage, on behalf of very extreme partisan demands and the radical left democrats, and we just can't do that. >> reporter: it certainly is possible that the president could face some lawsuits over

the executive orders, it will be inte tember if states have to chip in, how are they able to do that and how many states will be able to have the money to do that, we'll be expecting to hear more from state leaders that's read through the executive action that just happened yesterday. arthel: what's the early reaction from congress concerning president trump's executive action? >> reporter: there seems to be a mixed reaction to all of this. we heard from some republicans, some, not all, that are saying the president was right to move in this direction. he does have the support of senate majority leader you mitch mcconnell, pouting out a statement yesterday -- putting out a statement yesterday, saying i support president trump exploring options to get relief to the people who need it the most. democrats, not surprisingly, taking a much different stance. they claim the actions will not do much of anything to boost the economy. they are encouraging the president's staff to return to capitol hill to negotiate

further. >> the president's meager week and unconstitutional actions further demand that we have an agreement and any constitutional question is a separate issue. >> reporter: it's unclear if both sides are going to get back together. but of course they all agree there is still a need to help american was the unemployment rate still above double digits at more than 10%. as for president trump, he's going to be wrapping up the weekend in new jersey this evening, he's got a fun raiser and back to -- fundraiser and back to washington later tonight. eric: where do the talks on extending the aid for millions of people go from here, considering the democratic leaders are pushing back against the president. lauren blanchard in washington with that side of the story. hi, lauren. >> reporter: hi, eric. well, democrats and even some republicans say the executive orders are an overreach by president trump because constitutionally congress controls the federal purse strings. on fox news sunday, house

speaker nancy pelosi wouldn't rule out legally challenging these orders but she doesn't-say if it was on or off the table. >> it was unconstitutional, while it has the illusion of saying we're going to have a moratorium on evictions, it will ask the folks in charge to study if that's feasible. >> if the democrats want to challenge us in court and hold up unemployment benefits to hard working americans that are out of a job because of covid, they'll have a lot of explaining to do. >> reporter: so what now? if they are legal challenges the money could be tied up in the court for months and the timing is unclear when and if the americans will see the extra money. the order was called, quote, unworkable. president trump says he thinks the stalled negotiations on capitol hill will continue.

the next spending deadline is at the end of september. congress will have to figure it out by then. speaker pelosi seems to suggest they will come to an agreement eventually. >> the conges tuesdayal -- constitutionality of that is a different question. we need to come to agreement, we've got to meet halfway. >> i'm not saying they're not going to come back and negotiate. they might come back and negotiate. >> reporter: this isn't the first time president trump has tried to go around congress. remember with that border wall in the south, he declared a national emergency in order to divert billions in spending from the defunds fund of course to his wall. eric. eric: president obama used executive orders quite a lot during his tenure. lauren blanchard in washington. lauren, thank you. arthel. arthel: joe biden could announce his running mate as early as today. the campaign saying this is the week the former vp will reveal his choice. california senator kamala

harris, former obama national security advisor, susan rice and michigan governor gretchen whitmer all already top contenders. peter doocy is live in delaware with more. >> reporter: good afternoon. the former vice president was spotted at a nearby church this morning as he enjoyed the second to last weekend of only being the presumptive democratic nominee, once he becomes the nominee in a week and-a-half a lot of things will change and this morning the former vice president was talking about the ways his wife has been helping him fill out the campaign staff. >> jill is best at helping me do is figure out who the people around me would be most compatible with me. she knows me ingber than i know me. >> reporter: the trump campaign blasted out question of the day for joe biden, this is what it is. why can you travel to campaign events in pennsylvania but not to a tv studio in wisconsin? that's a reference to the

canceled in-person portion of the democratic convention. we still don't know where in delaware biden plans to accept the nomination but the plan is for the dnc to beam out two hours of content four hours in a row next week, we expect it to be slickly produced stories by the bigger stars. the night before, the running mate will address delegates virtually. it's not clear if the delegate knows she won the veep stakes. biden told fox, the pick is in. >> have you picked a running mate yet? >> yes, i have. >> you have? who is it? >> you. >> reporter: biden made a joke about who his running mate is. he said he knows who it is, arthel. arthel: peter doocy, i don't think he's you. you're too young. [ laughter ] all right. you have to be, what, 35 is it to qualify? >> reporter: uh huh, yeah, not there yet. arthel: okay, peter. good to see you.

thank you. eric. eric: well, arthel, on a sad note, there's another milestone that we have reached in the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. our country has now surpassed 5 million confirmed infections as schools in some parts of our nation are starting to reopen for some in-person classes. that of course amid concerns from parents about that. a new study shows that more than 338,000 children have tested positive for covid-19, almost a third of them in the last two weeks of july. brian llenas is live in fort lauderdale, florida with the very latest, that's where the broward county school district reported they're going to 100% online learning and the headquarters was evacuated for a second time last week because of a coronavirus case. so brian, what are the latest stats in terms of children and coronavirus? >> reporter: eric, yeah, good afternoon. we are getting a better understanding of how the coronavirus is affecting children based on this latest data released by the american

academy of pediatrics. according to the data, let's take a look, nearly 339,000 children in the united states have been infected with covid-19. that's a rate of 447 cases per every 100,000 children in this country. now, for comparison, that is less than the general coronavirus infection rate of 1500 cases per 100,000 that's currently in the country. about 97,000 children were diagnosed with covid-19 in the last two weeks of july. that's about a 40% increase in the cases we are seeing among america's children. the good news is, is that the data appears to show that severe illness due to covid-19 is rare among children. the general confirmed covid-19 death rate is 3.3%. but among children, the mortality rate is between 0 and 0.8%, with 20 states reporting

zero deaths in children. of course, one death of any child is one too many but this is important context and perspective as decisions are being made around the country by school districts and parents as to whether or not they should be sending their children into schools. the u.s. has now surpassed 5 million coronavirus cases as of today. 40% of all of those cases are in just five states. the most in california, followed by right here in florida. then it's new york and texas, new york and then georgia. there are 530,000 covid-19 cases in florida, eric, 6,200 new cases today. the good news is, that the prevelance of the infection rate it's going down. it is decreasing from an apex two weeks ago. eric: that certainly is encouraging. meanwhile we have operation warp speed. a new gallup poll shows what

americans think whether they will take a vaccine when there is one. what do you say about that? >> reporter: it's a new gallup poll came out that 65% of americans said they would take an fda approved covid-19 vaccine when and if that becomes available. but 35% of americans say that they would not take an fda-approved vaccine for a variety of reasons and when you dig down deep into the numbers, nonwhite americans are more likely to say no to the vaccine than white americans and that is alarming, eric, given the fact that covid-19 is disproportionately affecting hispanic and black americans. eric. eric: all right, brian. we'll be talking with the mayor of texas city in a few moments about that impact. thank you. arthel. arthel: eric, there was widespread outrage when this picture went viral. it was taken at a georgia high school last week. it shows students packed in the

hallway, many with no masks. well, now the principal says at least nine people there that day have tested positive for coronavirus including six students. the girl who posted the photo was suspended for breaking the school's social media policies. her suspension was lifted friday. ahead, we speak to a mayor in one of the areas seeing some of the most rampant spread of coronavirus in the country, where lockdowns are in place, hospitals are crowded and many of the residents are uninsured. we made usaa insurance for veterans like liz and mike. an army family who is always at the ready. so when they got a little surprise... two!? ...they didn't panic. they got a bigger car for their soon-to-be-bigger family. after shopping around for insurance, they called usaa - who helped find the right coverage for them and even some much-needed savings. that was the easy part. usaa insurance is made the way liz and mike need it-

easy. to give you the protein you need with less of the sugar you don't. [grunting noise] i'll take that. woohoo! 30 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar. ensure max protein. with nutrients to support immune health. i'm what they dream of. i'm a horse, but cuter. i'm a horse, but magical. pizza on a bagel-we can all agree with that. you're like a party rental.

arthel: portland rocked by another night of violence, police declared a riot late saturday after a small group of protesters set fire to a police union building. crews quickly put out the flames but three officers were hurt trying to clear the crowds. this comes as gun violence continues to ravage neighborhoods across the city. portland now reporting a record number of shootings in july. the highest the city has seen in 30 years. >> eric: now back to coronavirus. one of the regions hardest hit

by that virus thoops be -- happens to be southern texas, sparking mandatory shelter in place orders in several counties, and in fact a convention center had to be transformed into a makeshift hospital. there are so many infections. take a look at the startling numbers from brownsville. as of the day before yesterday on friday almost 16,000 cases, making it the area with the fastest spread in our country, glues the last week. that according to analytics from the evercore isi. they project it will take 11 more days for the cases to double, based on the current trend, showing a drastic rise in cases in cameron county right now. joining us now is mayor chris boswell. what is the cause do you think of the recent explosion in infections you are facing? >> good morning, eric. we have a lot of conditions

here. they're beautiful, cultural traditions and practices of large families that like to get together during holidays and birthdays. they also care for each other. they take care of grandma and grandpa in their homes so we have multigenerational families in the homes. and so these congregations, these types of folks coming back to their homes, they seem to transmit the virus within the community. and among their families. and it's normal for them to think that their family members are not going to harm them. but the virus is very sneaky. so we also have a very young population. we have under -- we have a median average of 30 years old is the average age of the population here, 40% of the population is under the age of

24. young people like to congregate as well. we think that's contributing to it. and of course, we are -- we have a very high rate of obesity and diabetes in our community here in south texas, and so that contributes to it as well. eric: you had a stay at home order lifted may 1st. governor abbott reopened the state. do you think the state was opened too soon? did this have an impact on the number of cases you have? >> i think opening gave people a false sense of security and so we opened in mid-may and so the beaches got opened, people went to the beach. we attribute a lot of the spike to memorial day weekend and to july 4th weekend, really contributing to the spikes. and so people let their guard down. i think people are starting to recognize now that this virus is

real, it's in the community and they need to keep their guard up. most people are voluntarily wearing masks, even though counties have ordered businesses to require masks in their businesses and so that's been helpful. i believe that the masking is actually contributing to now what we're being consciously optimistic and believing that there's a leveling off and perhaps a decrease in new admissions, covid-19, to our hospitals. those are the numbers that i'm really looking at and that we focus on are the hospital admissions and particularly the acuity of those patients. so while the patients being admitted with covid are going down, the people that are in the hospital with covid are very, very sick. eric: considering your experience, on july 9th you made a video telling people, you

know, wear masks, social distance, take this very seriously. what would you say to the folks watching now in other parts of the country, in the midwest, down south, out west, on how to try to avoid what sadly you are going through now? >> well, i think it's important to realize that wearing a mask is not such a burden. it's really being considerate to your neighbors, being considerate to people around you. the take i statistics are good t showing that your liability of getting an infection if two people are wearing a mask in close proximity is very, very low. so if you would be considerate to others and wear your mask, that's going to continue to stop the spread. and physical distancing is just as important as well as washing your hands. the three ws, distance, wash your hands, and also keep that

mask on. wear your mask. eric: i can't think of the other w, but that's great advice. >> it was wear your mask, sorry. eric: you have a large hispanic population, this has hit them very hard. what do you say to families living together? should they wear masks inside? what do you say to someone watching now who have a lot of family members who may have an elderly person living at home with them. they can't social distance, six feet all the time when you're inside. >> our county health authority does recommend that people, if they believe that they may have symptoms, that they should wear a mask and they should use distancing while they're in their homes. but the consisten congregating e

groups, larger than 10, family gatherings, people should try to avoid those as best they can even though it may be difficult and even though it may be hard on the family. we encourage people to limit those gatherings, not have those gatherings and to watch out if you think you have a symptom. you need to -- you do need to stay home and you need to stay away from your family members and other people in the community and at your work. eric: wise advice from texas mayor chris boswell. thank you for joining us. we wish you and the folks in your community the very best to get through this. thank you. arthel. arthel: well, eric, a strong earthquake rattled a state that just saw the biggest tremors in more than 100 years and more violent protests in lebanon after last week's deadly explosion, how the government is responding to protesters on the streets of beirut.

eric: here's a check of the headlines at this hour. president trump says he is not concerned about lawsuits after he signed several executive orders restoring supplemental unemployment benefits, paying now $400 a week, h the order depends on states contributing $100 too. nancy pelosi says the actions in her view are ons constitutional -- unconstitutional. she doesn't say if she will challenge them in court. there was a rare earthquake hitting north carolina. the quake centered north near the border of virginia. and it was felt as far south as rock hill, south carolina. it happens to be the strongest quake the state has seen in 104 years. thankfully, there are no reports of any major damage. and celebrating normal times in new zealand, the island along with fiji has not seen any

spread of coronavirus in 100 days. the prime minister meeting and thanking new zealanders this morning, the prime minister ordered a major lockdown for two weeks in april when the virus first began to spread. arthel. arthel: well, the biden veep stakes coming down to the wire, the campaign says an announcement on joe biden's choice of a running mate will be made this week. kamala harris and susan rice seen as leading contenders and now michigan governor gretchen whitmer is back in the headlines after reportedly meeting with biden last week. let's bring in donna brazile, former interim dnc chair and fox news contributor. great to see you. >> great to see you, my friend. arthel: listen, as the biden administration would be walking into a brick wall of problems, most notably a pandemic which led to an unemployment rate higher than the highest rate during the '08- '09 recession,

plus we can't ignore mr. bu bids age so there's little time for on-the-job training. that said, donna, what experience and character traits must she have out the gate? >> well, first of all, this is the 100th anniversary of sufficiensuffrage and throughour history we've seen only three times when a mo woman was on a major part ticket. this is a very important period. and clearly, the vice president must choose the one who is prepared to be president on day one, someone who can help him lead, bring the country together, propose new ideas that can help the american people, but this is a very important decision, perhaps the first and most consequential the vice president will make and he knows how important this job is because of course he is the former vice president, the 47th vice president of the united states.

arthel: is joe biden beholden to picking a black woman. if joe biden does not pick a black woman, will he still get the black vote? >> first of all, i think when the vice president made this announcement back in march, he understand the hour, he understood the moment and clearly as someone who was worked with women throughout his career, not just in congress but also in the obama, biden white house, he understands that women bring a lot of great leadership qualities to the table. so yes, i have said from day one, i would hope that he would select a black woman because of the experiences of black women, the lived experiences of black women, the fact that a black woman i think can help his message what's important. we're at a critical moment. we need someone in that office, in that position, who can help guide the vice president, who hopefully will become

president-elect, throughout this period. covid, racial justice issues, an economy that's not working for everyone, we need someone with good, strong qualities of leadership and proven leadership that can help joe biden lead our great country. arthel: so if he doesn't choose a black woman, will he still get the black vote? >> of course, i personally will be disappointed. i'm sure many of my friends and colleagues. here's why, i do believe there's several -- you mentioned some earlier. i know peter doocy, sorry, peter, but look, there are several who are extremely well positioned and qualified including ones who ran for president. we had a historic number of women running. i still believe that black women voters will select a candidate who will enable us to soar, improve this economy, get covid under control, bring about changes in our education system, so yes, i do believe black women

will ultimately support joe biden for this presidency. but i personally believe and i have said to anyone who will listen that a black woman can help him expand the map, reach out to voters who have been alienated and bring new people to th table. so i'm excited. i'm a little nervous. we know the decision will come down this week. after all, the convention starts the following week. arthel: donna, i've got about 30 seconds left. so many landmines on the road to the election, in the next 85 days. what could blow up the democrats' chance of winning back the white house? >> what could blow us all up, foreign interference, voter suppression and people not understanding how they can cast their ballots. so we need to be mindful of the integrity of our elections matter and we need to ensure every american, every eligible citizen gets an opportunity to cast his or herbal lot -- her

ballot. arthel: thank you. eric: we'll have more on mail-in ballots, looking at one race in a few moments. overseas, anger and outrage continue in beirut for another day. protesters there throwing rocks at security forces and calling for regime case at the death toll from the massive explosion has now risen to more than 200 people. lebanese government officials resigned today. demonstrators on the street want the whole government to go. trey yingst is on the ground live in beirut and has more on all of these late developments. hi, trey. >> reporter: eric, good afternoon. clashes are erupting once again between security forces and demonstrators here in beirut's marter square. you can hear tear gas being fired by security forces, trying to push back demonstrators from lebanon's parliament building. at least 250 people were injured in clashes overnight, according to the red cross.

some were shot with live ammunition. as the demonstrators stormed government buildings. when it comes to the deadly blast on tuesday, as you noted, two ministers resigned today. there have been six members of parliament who resigned since the explosion. the protesters want to see justice for the people who lost their lives and what they're calling an act of government negligence. there are international aid groups operating on the ground in lebanon for the past week, trying to get as much aid to the nearly 300,000 people who are internally displaced, 80,000 people are children and they're being helped by the international group, unicef. take a listen to what one of the directors had to say to fox news earlier today. >> mental health of kids is already severely damaged. we saw already drug use increasing, violence among young people increasing. that adds onto that. children have seen their parents

becoming unemployed, seeing food diminish on the table, not the same food they had before. this is an evolving event. >> reporter: unicef is working in the short term to provide emergency relief to this blast, they're also stressing the need for sustainable relief. there are a number of people here who have no place to live and very little to eat. that is something that world leaders today are trying to find a solution to. french president emmanuel macron and president trump participating in a call today with lebanese leadership to try to find a path forward. eric. eric: trey yingst reporting in the dusk darkness, the sun has just set in beirut, a long night ahead. trey, thank you. arthel: eric, president trump has been warning about mail-in voting, saying they should redo one congressional race in new york that became a symbol of a mail-in voting mess. up next, what went wrong, how to fix it and what to expect for the november election.

arthel: a shooting turned dead any washington, d.c., at least 21 people shot, one killed, after dispute at a large gathering overnight. police say at least three shooters opened fire from different locations. several people were critically injured including an off-duty officer. no arrests have been made. ♪ eric: mail-in voting is a controversial issue as you know as the nation prepares for a presidential election. there will likely be decided with a stamp. we are seeing the warnings, the associated press saying, quote, running a vote by mail election is surprisingly complicated. and there's a lot of room for things to go wrong. validating and counting a deluge of ballots presents a major challenge, one that half a dozen

states are fully prepared for. the recent mess in new york city's 12th congressional district primary race exposes what's at stake. tens of thousands of ballots mailed late, not even counted, and it took six weeks to certify malone as the winner, a decision that remains disputed, as they refuse to concede. with us is lawyer ali najimi. welcome, it is stunning and frankly sad that so many votes in your race were not even counted. what went so wrong? >> good afternoon, it's great to be here. what went wrong, two-fold. the state board of elections, the city board of elections mailed out or printed ballots late, didn't scale up in time and they made a bet against how many people would really want to vote by mail in this election. people in new york and across the country want to vote by mail. and the united states postal

service, well, they're not perfect. they've had issues with the automated system in terms of delivering postmarks onto ballot envelopes as well as accounting for the timeliness of their delivery. eric: it turned out the post office, what, mailed like 34,000 ballots, like the night before the election, the day before? i mean, how do you return those ballots -- we're going to show this in a second, these numbers. what do you do with 34,000 ballots that are mailed the day before the election, how do you get them back and get them counted? >> this is something that we only discovered because we have the lawsuit. i have the united states postal service on the stand for several hours. they admitted the board of elections sent 34,000 ballots sent to voters the day before they were due. that was one of the most stunning evidence oafnts the trial was -- events of the trial, was finding out how voters were set up to fail. everything we learned in the lawsuit is that the errors

having we can fix, we can print the ballots earlier, we can mail them earlier. the post office could be more efficient at hand stamping the postmarks ahead of time. this is doable. vote by mail is something that america needs. eric: you're saying the post office was late on a lot of this stuff, they didn't properly postmark some of the ballots and because of that -- how much votes do you think, especially in brooklyn and queens, were you denied because of the foul-ups? >> look, it takes two to tango in this race. it's the board of elections and the united states postal service. what we found out from the testimony is that of the 34,000 plus ballots that were mailed on june 22nd, the day before they were due to voters, 60% of them according to the post office testimony went to brooklyn and queens. we reason really don't know how many of those ballots went to particular races. but as litigation continues, we do look forward to finding out

more information about how everything went and who got ballots late and what the distribution was exactly. eric: let's look at the facts. we showed that stat before. i'm going to put it up again. let's take a look. a lot of ballots were received. 403,103 ballots received by the board of elections. they certified over 318,000. but 84,000 votes in this race were rejected, a 21%, almost one-quarter of the votes rejected. what does that say about the state of the election process and the state of the mail-in voting in your race? >> now, we have to keep in mind, those are rejected for several reasons, not just postmarks. people may have failed to sign, people may have failed to seal the ballot envelope. we can put a giant red arrow where you need to sign, maybe put a self adhesive. i think in a pandemic, people

don't want to lick their envelopes. let's do something that the judge did. the judge said if the ballots arrive on june 24th and 25th without a postmark, they should be counted. personally, there are other states that don't use a postmark in their mail-in system and that's something we need to consider. i don't think the postmark is something that we really need to ensure an election. we are the beacon of democrat civil we've gone all over the world to monitor elections. we have every obligation to get this right and we can get it right by november to make sure that every vote counts. eric: finally, ali, congresswoman m malone said we learned lessons from november that we must take action to ensure the safety of our vote for the general election. you laid out examples. what would you do, how would you fix it, what must we do to protect the integrity of mail-in by mail. >> let's redesign the envelope.

it's a design he denext the political world. let's redesign the envelope, let's put a giant arrow, let's send a self adhesive envelope, let's send them early and let's not be so stuck with a postmark. i think we should have a cutoff date, why not make it a couple days after the election, if all ballots are received by this date, they will count. eric: i also guess telling the viewers if you want to vote, basically vote early, get your absentee ballot in early? >> one thing we learned in new york is people love to vote by mail. we've seen record turnout. and just putting your request for your application early and my comment to the voters, make sure you follow instructions and go online and do your research. eric: the election lawyer for sirrj patel in a race that could pour tenp of orten -- portend wd
