political history, i believe. it could change fundamentally america forever. steve: i agree. if it is susan that's a massive gift to the trump campaign. that is all for tonight. that is all for tonight. todd: it is monday, august 10th. this is a fox news alert. overnight chaos erupting in chicago over a police involved shooting. jillian: on the west coast, more mayhem in portland, police declaring a riot as attorney general bill barr condemns the recent unrest in an exclusive fox news interview you. >> anyone with eyes can see what's happening. you see the violence, yet you hear about peaceful demonstrators. it's a lie. the american people are being told a lie by the media. ♪

jillian: good morning. you're watching "fox & friends first" on this monday morning. i'm jillian mele. todd: i'm todd piro. thank you for starting your day with us. we get straight to a fox news you alert, chaos in chicago, crowds clash with police as looters ransacked stores across the city. [crowd noises] jillian: looters mobbing upscale stores as officers try to keep them at bay. todd: the unrest began after a man was shot by police. officers say the suspect opened fire first during a chase. police returned fire, striking that man. jillian: it comes on the heels of a violent weekend in the city, 35 people shot and three people killed. todd: now to another fox news alert. attorney general bill barr blasting the unrest across major u.s. cities in an exclusive fox news interview. jillian: barr explained what he

feels is behind all of it. >> reporter: good morning. after two months of protests across the country, all bill barr calling the unrest a new form of gea guerrilla warfare. this is the view in seattle. protesters set a u.s. flag on fire. a woman puts out the fire and is acosted by a huge crowd, saved when police officers intervened and other protesters screaming at bystanders apparently angry that this man is hugging a woman. >> that's disgusting. >> reporter: ag barr says protesters like these that you see here want chaos, not change. >> i think they would be generally for bringing down any administration. they are a revolutionary group that is interested in some form of socialism, communism,

essentially bolsheviks. >> reporter: sunday marked the 75th day of unrest in portland with a crowd of protesters descending on the union police building that was set on fire saturday, police pushed back rioters, causing them to scatter, not before they threw objection an exploded -- objects and exploded a large fire work. ag barr weighed in on the motives behind the violence, saying it's always been about bringing down the president. >> they've tried to impeach him from day one. they have done everything they can. they've shredded the norms of our system to try to drive him for office or debilitate the administration. i think it's because of the desire for power that the left wants power. >> reporter: and in colorado, pro-police demonstrators clashed with black lives matter protesters that appeared to be

antifa during a back the blue rally, three people were arrested. barr slammed the media for portraying the protests as peaceful. >> i've been appalled with this violence. it's happening in the streets. anyone with eyes can see what's happening. they see the violence. they don't see it on the national news many you don't see it on the networks or the other cable station, yet you hear about peaceful demonstrators. it's a lie. the american people are being told a lie by the media. >> reporter: and amid the nonstop protests and chaos around the country, a vote to defund the seattle police is set for today. jillian, todd. jillian: marianne, thank you. todd: ken cuccinelli says the blame game has changed in portland after democrats once blamed the federal agents for stoking violence. >> the blame game has changed as things went on.

there was a point where the portland mayor said we caused the violence. it was pointed out that the violence was going on for five weeks before we added officers from outside of portland and so they changed the narrative to everything was getting better until we showed up and then it was we're the source and of course when the state police finally came in to police that area which the locals wouldn't and you've seen the last six nights in a row riots declared by the local police with no federal facilities involved. very sad. jillian: to another fox news alert, a fire ripping through rachael ray's home in upstate new york overnight. look at this. firefighters say the celebrity chef was inside when it started, rang her husband and dog bella are safe. she was filming episodes of her talk show from her home during the pandemic.

todd: senator lind lindsey gram said the senate deceived the committee. >> they misled the hell out of the fisa court. they said there's no evidence from the subsource to suggest that steele fabricated anything in the dossier. actually, the subsource said it was all bar talk, hearsay, speculation and conjecture. they completely misrepresented to the senate intel committee in 2018 what the subsource had told the fbi in 2017. that is a new crime, a different crime. todd: graham says he's going to write a letter to the fbi director, christopher wray and ask him who gave the briefing in 2018. jillian: democrat backlash growing after president trump takes executive action on covid-19 relief. todd: it is following weeks of failed negotiations on capitol hill. caroline shibley joins us live

in washington with the war on words over the president's orders. >> reporter: good morning. after negotiations on a stimulus bill fell apart, president trump said fine, i'll take care of it and signed an executive order on saturday. the question this morning, can he do that? some in congress say he doesn't have authority to bypass them. take a look at what he signed, technically one executive order and three memoranda. there are $400 per week in supplemental unemployment payments, an extension of stunted loan relief through december 31st, a study of protections from evictions and payroll tax holiday through the end of the year. tens of millions of people had been getting the extra unemployment benefits of $600 a month but that stopped 10 days ago. congress was hoping to having new in place by then but couldn't come up with a deal to extend. house democrats passed a $3 trillion bill more than two months ago but republicans say that's simply too much. >> nancy pelosi has always held it up for her own personal wish list. she believed pot was more important than the paychecks.

now, what president trump did, he really showed he was the one person in the room that put people before politics. >> reporter: here's another problem. congress has the power of the purse, tax laws are supposed to originate with their body. plus, what the president did with the payroll tax, suspending it until the end of the year, and talking about getting rid of it permanently if reelected, critics point out that tax funds social security and medicare. >> what the president did is -- i agree with the republican senator -- said it was uncons unconstitutional slop. he said he's going to do the payroll tax. what he's doing is undermining social security and medicare. so these are illusions. >> reporter: if you're looking for a little bit of hope, senate mminority leader chuck schumer says he wants to sit down and talk while treasury secretary steven mnuchin says no time they have a -- any time they have a new proposal, he's willing to

listen. todd: thank you so much. jillian: as democrats push for more negotiations, sarah carter says they left the president no choice and he did the right thing, issuing executive orders. take a listen. >> we know we can get back there again. but we can't get back there with the directionist b behavior like the democrats have shown to republicans. the president did the right thing. he came with the executive orders. it's not popular for presidents to issue executive orders. there was nothing else president trump could have done. and i think he made the right move here and now the ball is in the democrat court. jillian: as of now, no word on any set meetings for negotiations between the two parties. todd: texas setting new records as they battle a surge in covid-19 cases, the positivity rate topping 20% on sunday, up 8% from just eight days ago. texas also surpassing 500,000 cases state-wide. this as the u.s. tops 5 million total cases, more than 162,000

americans have died from the virus. jillian: a 23-year-old shocks the world. he won the pga championship after a stunning final round. >> wow. wow. jillian: that eagle putt giving him the lead for good. he shot six under par on sunday to win his first major. he was lucky to take his trophy home in one piece. >> oh, boy. [ laughter ] jillian: the lid fell off the jug just as he lifted it up. thankly, it was not broken -- thankfully, it was not broken. todd: if that eagle putt is that close, imagine the shot before, how great that shot was. congrats to him. a lightning strike sends debris flying, missing a woman by

inches. a terrifying close call, caught on camera. jillian: protests in seattle ahead of a city council vote to defund police but will that lead to more violence. a former council candidate, ari huffman, joins us live to react.

>> jillian: welcome back. pro police ralliers in seattle facing off against defund the police protesters ahead of today's controversial city council vote. todd: the council likely to pass several defunding measures even after a string of unprovoked attacks. jillian: thank you for being here. here is what the city council

will vote on today, to fire 100 officers, to cut the seattle police chief's salary and cut several units within the department. what do you see happening? >> so this is one of the worst things they could do, aside from the defunding, they're going after specific programs like the navigation team which provides services to homeless people on the streets of seattle. that problem is going to get worse. they're cutting school resource officers, which are police officers that keep students safe in school. they're cutting the police chief's salary. that's hypocrite call. the police chief is making less than the predecessor who is right and she is an african-american woman. everything they're doing is designed to take the police down so they can't do their jobs effectively anymore. the saddest thing is that the seattle police department is operating at 50% of capacity of where they should be, they're half the size they should be, half the size of comparable cities like boston's police department. todd: it's not surprising that

you're really starting to see very concerning images coming out of seattle, violent random attacks on the street. what is the mood of the citizenery there in seattle right now you? >> people are scared. people have seen what happened when there was no police. we had the chop, the capitol hill occupied protest. for almost a month we had an area where police were not allowed in which resulted in five shootings and the deaths of two african-american teenagers, an increase in rape, robberies, 250% crime increase, and hundreds of thousands of phone calls to 911. jillian: todd asked what is the mood of the citizens, i'm curious of the mood of the police officers who are there, working day in and day out. >> they are feeling demoralized. there was a study done, two thirds of those leaving the police department said they were leaving because they had no respect from political officials, from anybody in

politics, no elected officials. as a result they were leaving. now it's worse. they're letting armed militants take over sections of the city. they're out of here. they're worried what's going to happen to them so they're retiring, they're laterally transferring. here's something interesting. the cities surrounding seattle have full police capacity. this is a problem exclusive to seattle. todd: are there enough people advocating for pro-law enforcement, law and order individuals or is seattle basically a lost cause at this point? >> i really don't want to say that it is a lost cause. if you look at what happened today, between 3 and 5,000 people showed up at seattle city hall to support the seattle police department. there were only 60 or so protesters. yet, they're getting the same amount of ink as if there were equal numbers. there weren't at all. we talk about the silent majority. now it seems as if they are the vocal majority. seattle police department

received 160,000 signatures on a petition backing them and we hope that this is a sign of the direction things are heading, rather than the opposite. jillian: well, we know you'll be keeping an eye on it too. ari huffman, thank you for joining us. have a good day. >> you too. todd: time now, 18 minutes after the hour, tiktok could sue the trump administration as soon as tomorrow over the president's executive order to ban the app. some say the case won't hope up in court. she explains, next,. >> this is not a good idea. this is not a good idea. jillian: base brawl, what caused the benches to clear in california, we'll tell you. ♪ you make everything groovy. ♪ wild thing. ♪ hike!

todd: welcome back. hope your monday is off to a great start. tiktok reportedly ready to sue the trump administration as soon as tomorrow as the executive order puts an expiration date on the platform's life in the u.s. at least two american tech companies are trying to save it before the deadline, potentially giving the federal government a cut of the deal. what happens next? associate fellow at the center for new american security, tara frederick joins us live to break it down. thank you for being here. here is what tiktok is saying about a potential lawsuit, quote, we will pursue all remedies available to us in order to ensure that the rule of law is not discarded and that our company and users are treated fairly if not by the administration, then by the u.s. courts. there are reports the lawsuit will argue the executive order is unconstitutional and the national security just at this n

is baseless. do they have a case? >> i think tiktok's response to the executive order, they really don't. due process, yes, that matters. the fact that the national security issues here are conjecture doesn't hold water. trump has tried to confront china's tech enabled liberalism head-on. when it comes to bytedance which owns tiktok, we can't have communist regimes directly controlling platforms where americans exchange information. bytedance has been the subject of a cfius review since december of 2019. for bytedance to say they're not aware of this, that's not true. it's been telegraphed by trump. india banned tiktok and wechat. tiktok should have seen this coming, they had ample time to

address the national security considerations. saying they're shocked, that this is conjecture, to me it sounds like an excuse. todd: are we going to stop with tiktok or do we anticipate more pushback from china on the tech front. >> the critical thing about this, this was all rolled out in a series of executive orders on targeting wechat, targeting tiktok, other chinese social media applications, as well as the state department's clean networks initiative. this is part of a fulsome initiative, expens comprehensivk at what china is doing, how they're using laws and policies as weapons, standards and governance in the tech world as weapons against the united states. trump -- they're confronting this head-on. they need a systemic risk-based criteria to continue with other applications. doing this piecemeal application by application, it's not really a viable strategy going forward. but to me, this is a powerful

signaling effort, we are shaking off the inertia of a decades old relationship with china in the tech world that permitted them to conduct their authoritarian practices, not just at home but here in the united states. censorship on tiktok, it's the same kind of thing. we can't have their values imported to americans. the trump administration is pushing back. it's a good thing. todd: microsoft and twitter appear to be battling, both interested in tiktok. which is a better fit? >> so, i think microsoft has the upper hand on this one. i mean, as of june, the wall street journal reported that they had almost $130 billion in cash, more than twitter did. so twitter is going to need outside help. they're the long shot. microsoft has the engineering capacity and this is a formidable engineering task if they take over tiktok. they have the money. they have the engineering prowess and capacity. they have the size to do this. so microsoft is probably the better bet here.

todd: going to be interesting to see what happens. cara, thank you for your time this morning. jillian, over to you. jillian: it is just about 26 minutes after the hour. violent clashes growing in beirut nearly a week after the deadly explosion. how the trump administration is helping victims on the ground. >> come august, come october, the biden campaign sees that texas is competitive, wants to go all the way in in defeating donald trump, this state is ready to go. jillian: the biden campaign launching a new group to flip texas. could the lone star state actually turn blue? our panel debates that, next. ♪ guys, it's that time... and nothin's happenin'.

[crowd noises] todd: looters mobbing upscale stores as officers try to keep them at bay. jillian: the unrest began after a man was shot police. officers say the man opened fire first during a chase, police returned fire, striking the man. todd: this comes on the heels of a violent weekend in the city, at least 35 people shot, three people killed. in an exclusive fox news interview, attorney general bill barr explains his decision to drop the case against former national security advisor, michael flynn, casting doubt on the fbi's interview of flynn. >> they showed clearly that the fbi agents who interviewed flynn did not think he was lying. this was later minimized in testimony as suggesting, well, they meant he didn't break out into a sweat, his eye pupils didn't contract. that's all they were saying. no, they were saying they didn't believe that he thought he was lying at the time and various

other facts like that about what the real purpose of the interview was, based on those factors and the fact that i didn't think it meant the standards of prosecution of the department of justice, i decided to drop the case. todd: the federal appeals court set to hear arguments tomorrow on barr's decision to drop the flynn charges. to the middle east now, where violent protests continue in beirut after a deadly explosion killed more than 200 people. trey yingst was on the ground with protesters to give us a firsthand look. >> reporter: another day, another round of anti-government protests in beirut following the deadly explosion on tuesday, search and rescue crews are working at this hour, looking for survivors. a number of ministers and members of parrelment have resigned in the wake of the tragedy. that isn't stopping the people of beirut from taking to the streets. clashes are erupting in beirut and demonstrators are demanding

that more people resign from the government. security forces are trying to keep the demonstrators back from the parliament. you can see they're firing tear gas. we saw live ammunition used against the protesters. many of the people firing those bullets are associated with the lebanese militant group hezbollah. the protesters say they no longer want hezbollah to be influencing what this country does and the decisions they make. they want to see change. >> we're so angry. i couldn't sleep. i cannot live with myself if we do not get something after what happened. it's not acceptal. they think can get away with this after such terrible, terrible, like i don't believe are they human? >> reporter: you can hear the emotion in the voices of the people of lebanon. they want to see change. they want to see the international community pitch in. we did see an international

donors call with world leaders including french president emmanuel macron and president trump. nearly $300 million was raised during the call. leaders are reportedly avoiding sending cash directly to lebanon out of fear it could be misused by what the protesters are calling a corrupt government. in beirut, trey yingst, fox news. jillian: the latest democratic attempt to try to flip texas you blue, a new political action committee launched to back joe biden this november. >> today, republicans hold texas but it's time we take it from them, right now. jillian: do biden and the blue texas pac really stand a chance? here to debate that is gop strategist, ash wright and democratic analyst david imonitia. thank you for being here. we appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. jillian: david, what do you think of what the democrats are doing right now? do you think texas can actually be flipped? >> well, obviously we've seen

over the last few elections that it's been moving towards that direction but my belief is that really right now i think people really should be voting on their principles. first and foremost. and then their policy and then the person that they feel is best suited to actually lead our of country. jillian: let's take a look at the percentages right now. this is the latest information we have from the first week of august and you'll see president trump there is 46.3%, compared to joe biden, trailing not too far behind with 44.3%. ash, what do you think how this is going to play out? >> sure. i mean, we always see this, the last recent election cycles, we saw this with trump versus hillary, beto versus ted cruz where the democrats look like they're close and the reality is, they're still not -- we've seen this pac situation play out over the last several election cycles, under obama we had

battleground texas, wendy davis who was the governor candidate at one time, had a pac called flip texas blue. the reality is that, come out, get great media coverage, they promise to raise millions of dollars which they rarely do. when they do raise whatever money they can get their hands on, they spend it on paid advertising, which the blue texas pac for joe biden said they're going to do but the reality is running ads an tv on mtv isn't going to turn a state like texas blue. 89 days out of an election. texas democrats have lacked a personal connection with voters for decades. and that's in direct contrast with the republican party of texas who has recently elected a new chairman, it's reenergized, the republicans are knocking on thousands and thousands of doors every week, they're registering thousands of new voters every week. it's kind of a little too late.

sometimes texas looks like it's turning blue. but at this moment launching a super pac89 days out of the election isn't going to get democrats any closer than they were two, four, six or eight years ago. jillian: let me interject for a second. you were talking about the tv ad bookings and things of that nature. let's bring up some numbers here. as you can see, the dcc and house majority pac, 13.4 million in texas and nrcc and congressional leadership fund, 5.5 million. david, what do you have to say about what ash was just talking about? >> well, obviously i completely understand where he's coming from. he's going by the history of what's taken place in texas. but what i would ask him is, what has that done for the state of texas? how is texas actually gotten better, each and every time it's gone red? and whether it's going to go blue or it's going to stay red, i think once again i think the most important thing for the voters, people that are out there wanting to make ching, is to really -- make change, is to

really focus on what am i voting on. am i voting just because i'm republican or democrat or am i looking at the policies being put forth, am i looking at the person that best is suited to actually lead the country and am i going based on my principles. i think if we start to do that and not pay so much attention to what is red and what is blue and pay attention to those three things, i believe we can make the change we're looking for. jillian: ash, real quick, a response in 10 of seconds. >> the reality is, the republicans have built one of the greatest economies in the united states, we have a robust economy. people are moving here from colorado, california, florida, because of republican policies that have worked well. i want to note, if i have time and cut me off, tv ads you're references are targeted towards congressional seats. the reality is, if joe biden's campaign was serious about

winning texas, when they place their tv buy it was 65,000 over the last couple of weeks and that's barely enough to scratch the surface a state like texas. jillian: kelly covid-19wa kels on water's world, she had this to say about joe biden and the lockdown working for him.

>> he's like a blind date you haven't yet met. he's handsome, funny, responsible. eventually the doorbell rings and have you to open it and there's joe biden, not the person you thought you were going to get, lockdown works for joe biden. it has helped him. jillian: ash, what do have you to say about that? is it working for him? >> look, i tend to agree with her. i think to me, what the distinction is, it hasn't really helped joe biden. it's hurt donald trump. i mean, if you look at -- obviously, the course of history, every presidential re-election is based on the economy. that's a huge aspect. the president lost that eight months ago and is having to nojt respond as wockdit obviously i k up. i don't think this is actually affected biden in a great way. it's definitely not affected trump in a great way either. jillian: we'll see. everyone is looking forward to the debates at this point. that might be a tell-all for a lot of people who might be on the fence as to where they're going to go this november. david and ash, thank you very much for joining us. we appreciate it.

have a good day, okay? >> thanks so much. >> thank you. jillian: todd. todd: thanks. an off-duty washington, d.c. police officer fighting for her life after gunfire erupts at a large block party. a 17-year-old dead, 20 people hurt. >> we can't tolerate these types of gatherings in our city during covid-19. it's just too dangerous. nobody can predict that a shooting like this is going to happen at a gathering like this. but we can't have these large gatherness the city. todd: more than 100 people were at the gathering when at least three people opened fire. it's unclear what led up to the shooting. no arrests have been made. police also looking for suspects who shot three people during a party at an airbnb home. police say more than 50 of people were at the rental home early sunday morning when shots rang out. this was in california. police say they all scattered when they arrived. >> we know that it's risky for you to come forward but we do have three young people who were shot and injured and we need justice for them. todd: those three victims all in their 20s are in stable condition. check this out, a woman comes inches away from getting hit by debris from a lightning strike,

test positive for covid-19. so is it too soon to go back to class? our next guest is a doctor and co-founder of a charter school, he says no. he explains. jillian: kamala harris told to sit out of the race for biden's running mate, the position she is being urged to take instead. ♪

todd: san francisco's former mayor is urging senator kamala harris to, quote, politely decline if joe biden asks her to be his running mate. willie brown writing an op-ed saying, quote, being picked for the vice presidency is obviously a huge honor but the glory would be short lived and historically the vice presidency has ended up being a dead spe end. brown says she should aim for attorney general instead, saying the role has legitimate power.

this comes amid speculation that harris is a frontrunner in the list of vp picks. jillian: the trump campaign is hitting the road, the bus tour launches in florida today with eric trump. the busses will visit swing states leading up to the election. todd: 47 minutes after the hour. back-to-school days away for much of the u.s., uncertainty about how to return to learning is only growing. the american academy of pediatrics reporting nearly 100,000 kids testing positive for covid during the last two weeks of july. so what is safe for america's students? jillian: our next guest is leading rallies to get them back in the classroom. dr. jeff b a arcy joins us with his mess average thank you for being here. >> good morning. thank you for having me. jillian: of course. why do you think it's important for kids to be back in the classroom this fall? >> well, listen, you reported some numbers. i wish what you would also report is the number of kids that are exposed every year to influenza and more importantly

that die from influenza and contrast that to covid-19. when kids get covid-19, first of all, they either have no symptoms or they usually have mild symptoms at all. in orange county, california, we've had exactly zero deaths from covid-19 and only one death in the entire state of california. it's critical that kids get back to school because they're being hurt more from being out of school than they are from the virus. todd: you mentioned numbers. let's go over those covid numbers in orange county. cases just under 40,000, cases under 18, about 7% of cases. a little bit less than 500,000 people tested. the teacher's union in orange county has a different take on this than obviously you. here's what they say, this is a desperate grab for attention in their struggle to stay relevant,

governor newsom made the decision to close schools, not the unions. our priority is the safety of staff and students. doctor, they say this is about safety. is your plan unsafe? >> let's talk about what the unions actually want. what they want, utla, the second largest teacher's union in the country, what they want, they put forward a list of demands, a ransom list, if you will, that includes the abolition of all charter schools, medicare for all, defunding the police and removing all police officers from high school campuses. what does that have to do with education? it is perfectly safe to send kids to school, just look at the numbers and look at the science and remember what's happening to those kids by keeping them home. we have the highest suicide rate we've seen amongst children. there are more kids that have died from suicide than have died from covid-19, not to mention increase in depression, increase in child abuse, increase in sex trafficking and even the

teachers unions themselves acknowledge that distance learning is a failure. it's time to get kids back to school. jillian: doctor, there is definitely an argument to be had as to why it's difficult to have kids out of school for so long, to keep them away from friends and to develop those socialization skills but just to push back for a second here, in mississippi there was a school that reopened, over 100 kids quarantining after 15 kids tested positive for covid, we're told that none of the kids contracted the virus at the school. they brought it into the school and contracted it out in the community. in georgia we saw photos of a packed high school, a hallway there. they reportedly had nine cases of confirmed covid-19. they're doing digital learning now. there are reasons for people to be worried across the country and i guess the question is, in looking at those scenarios, what can we learn from them now to make sure that schools that are reopening aren't going to experience this? >> absolutely. well, first of all, we need to

start living our lives with fear. do we ever close schools because of influenza season? do we ever require kids to wear masks because of influenza season? of course the answer is no. we need to look at this carefully and look at the science. cases, somebody getting ill from the virus, or contracting the virus and testing positive is very different than illness. when kids get this virus, they either have no symptoms at all or they have very mild symptoms and most importantly there is almost no cases of a school-aged child passing this virus onto a teacher. a teacher has a greater risk in the teacher lounge, spreading the virus, teacher to teacher, than they do in a classroom and we need to keep in mind also the effect that we're having on kids by keeping them home. and that's the problem. todd: all right, sir. we appreciate your time this morning. this is obviously the focus of the next couple weeks. dr. jeff barky, thank you so

much. and we'll be right back. >> thanks for having me. appreciate it. this year, the alzheimer's association walk to end alzheimer's is everywhere. all of us are raising funds for one goal: a world without alzheimer's and all other dementia. because this disease isn't waiting, neither are you. go to alz dot org slash walk.
