in a second about that issue, what happened at the white house and defunding politician. on that topic, steve, over to you. steve: anyway, thank you for joining us it. is august 11th, 2020. don't be surprised if joe biden doesn't announce his shall vice president today. look at the campaign schedule there are no surrogate or candidate appearances scheduled and the campaign likes to get a lot of stuff on tuesday. meanwhile on this tuesday, let's talk a little bit about this. last night the seattle police chief carmen best circuite sir a letter to the police department. sick and tired the police department is getting so she is going to be resigning later today. she is going to be appearing with the mayor jenny durkin later today. and it sounds like her

resignation will be effective september the 2nd. and one of the things that she is really steamed of is just yesterday the city agreed to cut 100 cops and chop her budget by $3 million. they wanted 50%. but, you know what, brian, the problem was, and it became very personal for the chief, because they were going after her salary. she makes $285,000 a year. and they wanted to significantly reduce the amount of money the chief is paid. brian: they want to cut her salaries compared to her predecessor who happened to be a white male. they say that's just a little bit too much. also, you look around and they say we're going to take that 9/11 call center and move that to somewhere else. the parking enforcement, move it out of police. you know that public safety element in all the schools because there is no danger of school shooting now. we will move that out, too. by the way when it comes to mounted police, have you got to stop doing that tear gas, i don't want you using that. she says i have had enough. here is her quote actually from

two separate sources i'm going to resign. i'm confident the department will make it through these difficult times. you are truly are the country. trust me when i say the city of seattle supports you and appreciates you. re-envisioning public safety just to show you the radicals on the police bored, there is one woman this congresswoman who started this whole thing with the whole defund movement but also started the autonomous zone. she is upset. they have the votes to cut police 50%, ainsley. they are not going to do it, so she is upset they didn't cut it enough. ainsley: the vote was 7-1 to defund the police by 14%. that one vote, i thought oh maybe that's the one person against defunding. no, that person says it doesn't go far enough so i'm voting against. this the critics say these layoffs are going to target all the new officers.

the ones often hired from minority communities. it's going to lead to lawsuits. they are cutting 100 officers, slashing the budget by 3 million. cutting the salary of the police chief, 12 members of her command staff. eliminating the navigation team and eliminating the swat team. when we look at that it seems pretty easy to us why she will resign today. in that letter to the police officers last night she did not say why she is leaving. ainsley: joining the hundreds of others retiring from the police department. steve: i think we know why. you saw it live on the fox news channel at 5:53 yesterday, president trump was rushed out of the press briefing room ♪ as shots rung out just about a block and a half from the white house. brian: secret service confronted by a man they believe was armed and dangerous. ainsley: griff jenkins live in washington with the new details just revealed overnight. griff? griff: ainsley, brian, steve, good morning. what a dramatic scene at the white house just before 6:00

p.m. 5:53 p.m. the president abruptly h escortd from the white house briefing room by protective detail just after the press conference started. this was because a uniform division secret service officer stationed at the corner of 17th and pennsylvania, just outside the white house complex fired shots at a 51-year-old man they believe was armed telling the officer he had a weapon and in lagrefn manner. as if to fire a weapon. the president returned to the podium explaining the individual had been shot and secret service agent had been taken to the hospital as well. the president thanking the secret service for quick response saying he felt secure throughout the entire ordeal. >> were you rattled at all, mr. president. >> i don't know. do i seem rattled? it's unfortunate this is the world. but the world has always been a

dangerous place. it's not something that is unique. griff: secret service says the investigation into the shooting is ongoing. noting at no time was the president's safety in question. >> the white house complex was never breached during the incident nor was the secret service protectee ever in danger. >> the man is expected to recover but very little is known about his motivation why he was approaching the white house. we will see today if the secret service has more to say about that. brian, ainsley, steve? steve: all right, griff. thank you very much. 6:07 here in new york. let's bring in new york republican congressman elise stefanik. congresswoman, good morning to you. >> good to be with you this morning. steve: it's good to have you as well. obviously with that shooting outside the white house, that did dominate the beginning of the press conference yesterday. the president also talked a great deal about the covid relief bill and he said democrats simply would not come

to the table. we're going to play that sound bite for you and then get your -- oh, no. no soundbite, sorry. what he said was they are hurting people very badly. this would have been easy for them to do. congresswoman? >> sure. so, first, i want to thank the secret service for professionalism. they do incredible work each and every day. i know everyone in this country is very grateful. on the covid relief bill the president was right to take executive action to provide economic relief to middle class across the country. he also provided relief student loans in terms of the deferral of student loan interest payment. what this highlights is that nancy pelosi and chuck schumer walked away from the table of negotiation. republicans have put forth numerous proposals to come to compromise. i have advocated for compromise on behalf of the american people. the president was right to act. i'm still hopeful that this will force the democrats back to the table because we need to have congressional certainty and

relief. brian: looks like governor cuomo says it will cost us $4 billion. we don't have that governor kemp of georgia says we will find it. governor justifiable says we will do it. governor asa hutchison of arkansas says we will scrounge around and put it up. what they are talking about doing is having the federal government give the supplemental insurance of $300 and then $100 will come from the states. and governor cuomo just wants a big check. he just wants a check because new york was hurt by the virus. so, your reaction as the new york lawmaker, do you think new york needs money from the federal government? >> i think it's very important to provide targeted covid relief funds. what we don't want to do is bail out issues in new york state that predate the covid crisis. i know as a new yorker how irresponsible -- they were already significantly in the hole. what i have advocated for is direct aid to the stated relief. what is most important is

counties and municipalities, the rural counties in my district who have faced the shutdown across new york economic impact and leftsd out of rounds of covid relief because they were rural communities. we need funding for school districts. that's important as our superintendents have put forth proposals to safely reopen which is important to safely reopen our economy. not just about getting kids back to school. ainsley: a lot of people are complaining to their local lawmakers about governor cuomo because he put elderly people in nursing homes. there was that order back in march where he ordered nursing homes to accept corona patients and many of them died including our meteorologist janice dean. she is going to be on our show later on she lost both her mother-in-law and father-in-law two weeks apart because of covid in some of these homes. so there have been several different meetings to talk about this and i know they have gone to congress and written letters. cuomo was asked about it. he says he doesn't want an investigation. listen to this. >> i wouldn't do an

investigation as to whether or not it's political. everybody can make that decision for themselves. just look at where it comes from and look at the sources and look at their political affiliation and look at who wrote the letter in congress and look at what publications raised it and what media networks raise it. it's kind of incredible. ainsley: he says thousands of those nursing home deaths had nothing to do with his march order. what do you say? >> it's very sad there are thousands of families who have lost loved ones and i have spoken to janice dean and my constituents who deserve answers, accountability and transparency it. is shameful that the governor continues to point fingers. you heard him to the families to "new york post," to fox news, to the president, to cms, everywhere but himself. he said at the start of the crisis that the buck stops with him. he signed that fatal order and did not follow cms guidance.

seema verma has gone on record saying new york state did not follow the recommendations provided by the federal government. these families should not be dismissed by governor cuomo. we need answers and most importantly we need to ensure that these policies are updated so moving forward this never happens again. by the way, it's not republicans calling for an independent investigation, it's democrats as well. so this is about providing support and answers for the families and it is not political. the only personal who is being political about it is governor cuomo who wants to pass the buck to anyone else. steve: but you also know, congressman stefanik, it is parts of a media narrative where mainstream media says donald trump has so badly bungled the corona response and at the same time you have got governor cuomo in new york who has been a genius about all of this. >> well, we know that's not the case. just look at the numbers and the data and, unfortunately, just high numbers of loss in new york

state compared to loss across the country. significant infighting between the governor and the mayor of new york city in terms of you who to manage the covid crisis. so, despite the mainstream media, voters in my district and voters that i talked with across new york state have real issues and concerns about how the governor did not manage this crisis effectively. especially when you compare the data and the numbers to other states across the country. when it comes to the federal government the president and congress stepped up to provide support for new york state. $9 billion has already been provided. we doubled the state's testing capacity and we are still providing support to new york state and we are working to provide additional funds as i said before to covid relief. but the governor is so dismissive and political and, again, points fingers to everyone else rather than accountability for an order he signed himself. brian: they wanted to free up hospital bed space on march 5th. everybody goes back. once you are in the hospital you

go back to the nursing homes a disaster. did i not know this 44% of all the deaths came from nursing home activity. he's not the only one. they said the 6,600 who lost their lives in nursing homes after going back there. that is not even an accurate number. they will not give the accurate number. it is actually higher. and think about what governor cuomo says. nothing is ever his fault. the unrest in the city is not his fault. when there is problems with millionaires or billionaires moving out, it is not his fault. problem with nursing homes, it's not his fault. when the coronavirus hits and he walks around and saying our hospitals can handle it. he says i don't do pandemics. no one told me this is coming from europe. it's not his fault. it's amazing how he gets a pass on this. i can't figure it out. >> well, he shouldn't get a pass and new yorkers aren't going to give him a pass. he should speak to the families who have lost loved ones to hear from them directly. he should make sure that dr. zucker who his commissioner of health appears and answered every single question.

as you know dr. zucker left one of those bipartisan state hearings and didn't answer all of the questions that were presented. and many of those families should be aable to testify. i know that janice dean had been planning to testify and at the last minute was uninvited. that's not acceptable. and there needs to be accountability and we need to make sure that never happens again so we are protecting our most vulnerable who are our seniors. ainsley: janice dean is going to be on with us in about an hour at 7:15 to answer some questions from you. elise stefanik from new york, thanks for joining us. >> thank you. ainsley: you are welcome. chicago mayor sending a letter to looters. >> for those who engage in this criminal behavior, let's be clear, we are coming for you. ainsley: but there is a lawmaker that says it's too late. the mayor has lost control, and he's going to join us next. your cells. trillions of them. that's why centrum contains 24 key nutrients to support your energy.

at cops. he gets taken down. he is going to survive. now the rumor is it's a 15-year-old unarmed shot by cops. so let's steal everything from downtown chicago. >> when you look at everything that's happening right now in this city, the city is in total unrest. in my opinion, i think the mayor has lost the confidence and control of this city. you know, she is listening to the wrong people and the wrong people are the ones that's really, you know, leading this unrest in the city of chicago. you know, the alder men are the one elected by constituency and total disregard of listening to the alderman who know the post of this city and ward. the last time the city got looted my walmart was the only walmart in the city of chicago that did not get looted my commanders listened to me and did exactly what i asked him to do. i was trying to get resources from downtown and totally told no that i could not get those resources and so my commander did what i asked him to do and

we saved that particular walmart. just yesterday, i called again for those same resources. and was told well, we are having a meeting about those resources at 10:00. 7:00 in the morning. by 10:00, looting will be done. it takes 15 minutes for looting to loot the entire store. and i was told no, that we're having a meeting at 10:00 and we will discuss it. well, you know, those resources didn't come until about 11:30. and so, once again, my commander listened to what we needed to do and we were able to once again stop the looting from taking place. brian: so black lives matter is outside of a police station demanding the release of individuals arrested for looting, there has been 100 100 arrested. looting tantamount to reparations. is this reparations? >> well, let me just say this. there are some people trying to hijack the entire black lives matter movement. and those are the people that are causing this unrest. and those are the people that need to be arrested and be held

accountable. but there is also a lot of good, hardworking young people that are leading the black lives matter movement in order to create change that we need definitefully this city. they need to disassociate themselves from the people creating havoc and sit down with the people who are really trying to do good in this city so we can move the city forward. yes, there is a lot of great things we need to do and great things and great ideas that the young people have that we need to listen. to say right now the administration is listening to the wrong people. brian: anthony is, it time to bring in the national guard? the mayor says no and i don't want federal agents. do you need help? >> well, let me just say. you know two, weeks ago the mayor said we need all hands on deck. does that mean all hands on deck but we don't want the national guard? we don't want federal help? if all hands on deck? that's exactly what that means. bring in all the resources you need to create calm in this city. the city is right now is up for grabs. and if you need to bring in whoever you need to bring in, to

calm this city down, that's what we need to do. brian: $66 million worth of damage to equipment and material it's hard for cities to bounce back from that with no end in sight. although there is a curfew from 8:00 to 6:00 in the morning. we will see if that works the police chief who had great hope for the area so far seems to be pretty ineffective. we hope that changes. >> thanks for having me. brian: former executive assistant opening up about her time at the white house. she has seen a side of the president most people do not even know about and she will join us next. you're strong. you power through chronic migraine - 15 or more headache days a month, ...each lasting 4 hours or more. botox® prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine. so, if you haven't tried botox® for your chronic migraine,

hardly any people hardly ever get to see. the author former director of oval office madeline westerhout from l.a. >> hi, steve, thanks for having me. steve: congratulations in the look that comes out today. right in the title you talk about dream job and lost it. start right there. what happened at that off-the-record meeting that apparently wasn't so off-the-record? >> yeah. so, you know what? i had a bad night. and a major lapse of judgment cost me my dream job. on a rare day off after a couple of drinks by the pool, i accepted an invitation to an off-the-riordaner with four reporters and a white house colleague of mine. and at that dinner i said some things that i didn't mean and that i never should have said. and i deeply regret that but i take full responsibility for my actions that night and really regret that i hurt people that i care about very, very much. steve: had you some things about the trump family and that

suddenly made news even though you assumed it was off the record. felt it was off the record. but somebody wanted to get that word out. i know this is the first time have you publicly spoken on camera. >> it is. steve: now, a couple days ago you talked to the president. >> i did. steve: because the book is coming out. and you revealed something to him about what you did in 2016 that given the fact that you worked at the rnc, i didn't see coming in a million years. >> yeah. so this was something that i thought a lot about whether or not i wanted to put in the book i ultimately decided it was very important for me to be completely honest in this book. what i reveal is that i did not vote for president trump in 2016. i absolutely did not vote for hillary clinton. but, in 2016, you know, i had never met the president and everything i knew about him i based off what the mainstream media told me. and it wasn't until i got to know him and know his character that i realized how wrong i had

been is he a very kind and generous man. is he a great leader and encouraging boss. i cannot wait to cast my vote for him on november 3rd. until then there is going to be no greater supporter of president trump than me. steve: so you didn't vote for him. you essentially got fired for those comments and, yet, the book has so much about donald trump that so many people don't realize. what's one thing in "off-the-record" a lot of people don't know about the president? >> there is so much about the president that i think is misrepresented. i think the mainstream media doesn't treat him fairly and doesn't report on him truthfully. the one thing i found so fascinating about president trump is his deep admiration and respect for women. he promotes women. he surrounds himself with strong, intelligent women. he is married to one. he has raised two of them. every interaction i have seen and had with him has just been showing what -- how much president trump respects women. steve: you know, and one of the things that given the fact that

you essentially were at 28 years old you were the gate keeper. you were the person who controlled who got to see the president of the united states and so you are right there. >> yeah. steve: and yet you say 80% of the time you will pick up a newspaper and you will read what supposedly happened or watch the news and you are like they got it completely wrong. >> totally. steve: that's not even close to what happened. >> that's what i talk about in the book. if i could believe what i saw on the news, then i'm sure other people, could and i just wanted to get the truth out there and to show the american people the president that i know and love. steve: all right. well it, comes out today officially. it is called "off-the-record" my dream job at the white house how i lost it and what i have learned. madeline, what have you learned. >> i have learned a lot. one of the things that i take most out of this experience is that there is going to be bumps along the road. that's inevitable. we are all human. made a mistake and decided i

wasn't going to let that one night and mistake define me. have learned about myself over the past year now. as much as i regret that one night i have learned a lot and really grateful for the time to reflect on my experiences and how i treated people. i think i was very, very close to a lot of powerful people. can you get sucked up to that in washington, d.c. taking time to reflect on how i have treated people and forgiveness and just moving forward. steve: well, we have all been curious to hear your story. it is available now. madeleine wester out thank you for getting up so early in the morning. >> thank you so much, steve. steve: meanwhile, joe biden could announce his running mate at any moment could be this morning. but, what is the biggest trap he could fall into with a pick? lawrence jones to discuss that coming up next.

let's bring in one nation host on fox nation lawrence jones. >> hey there, you happen to be so happy that your son may be the next vice president. steve: he is not old enough. you have got to be 35, lawrence. ainsley: the shill reporting that they talked to ally confidantes of joe biden and they are saying that senator kamala harris remains the top favorite that she doesn't have any baggage that that makes the most sense. what do you say? >> it's interesting. the way they decided to conduct this was very damaging to all of the people that are running for this vice president slot. they allowed opposition research to go out on all of these candidates. it became a blood bath almost of them going at each other. and even they david axelrod said this is a bad move for the biden camp. i do think it's going to be kamala harris. she makes the most sense for the joe biden campaign former prosecutor. attorney general. she is likeable. and, as we know, he has to pick

a black woman. 100 black men released a statement yesterday. they are leaders, they are progressive. they say, look, if you don't pick a black woman, then we are out. and that just shows you the pressure, the amount of pressure that the biden camp is under right now. if y'all remember early on in the year when i was on the campaign trail before this pandemic, i told you that these progressive voters, these progressive leaders were not going to let off of joe biden. they don't want incremental change. they want change right now and this is the first time we have seen this type of leverage being made for a vp spot. steve: you know, lawrence, there has been a lot about the fact that governor whitmer of michigan is on the short list and i was readings in some of the michigan papers yesterday if he picks her, he will lose michigan, which means he obviously may not win the road to the white house. but you went out on the street to talk about the pressure to

pick one particular person, didn't you? >> lawrence: i did. take a look at it? >> 100 black men wrote a letter today they say in order for them to support joe biden they want a black female to be the vp. what are your thoughts on that? >> well, i don't think so it's the time to try to hold -- withhold our vote or to try to leverage it in such a way that's going to still remain a detriment. >> i feel it might be a form of affirmative action or whatever. i don't have a problem with that. that's cool. steve: lawrence? >> let me say this. there has been a lot of talk about black voters. if they feel taken advantage of by the democratic party, there is a lot of thoughtful black leaders, although we may disagree in ideology. i respect the fact that they're making their voice be heard and putting the democratic party to the test. they want something in return. i think a lot of americans would

say well, this is not the right time to make this happen. but, what is the time? i mean, joe biden needs the black vote. that is very clear. these black leaders, have you got van jones on this list. charlamagne that god one of the best interviewers in the best. rapists. colmes. they have influence. look if we have to sink the entire ship to make you guys focus on black america, then we are willing to do that i kind of like that kind of leverage. >> i don't think you can knock out everybody else. susan rice just sold her netflix stock. governor whitmer evidently hit it off with biden. they have a bit of a bit of a relationship when they campaigned for each other. rasmussen poll 59% say it's likely he will not finish out his first term.

i find that unbelievable. also 61% think it's important for him to address the dementia issue. that according to a phone poll with rasmussen. it further underlines the power of this number two slot. >> a couple things, it is very clear based on my sources that is he very close to susan rice. they spent a lot of time together. he really likes her. but she doesn't have the same political capital, the same likability that a kamala harris. so he is in the crosshairs right now. now, as it relates to the vice president's mental health and where he stands, i'm not a doctor. i can't speak on it. what i can tell is you that the vice president was known. this a guy been in politics for over 47 years. elected when he was 30 years old. he was known as the greatest retail politician. i don't know if it's mental health or something has changed. the campaign where they used to want to bring him out and in the public and let him just go because he had the ability to draw people, in he did so many interviews back in the day. right now they want to take --

keep him in a cacoon. so, i don't know if it's mental health. i don't know if he has lost a step. i don't know what it is. i think anybody that's intellectually honest can say this is a different joe biden. and it's going to be a problem for a lot of voters. that's why he is leaning towards somebody that may be younger. someone that is a woman that could draw people. in but we don't know who he is going to pick at the end of the day. ainsley: we will soon. thanks so much, lawrence good to see you. >> thanks, guys. ainsley: one nation is on fox nation and from now until august 22nd get a free copy of sean hannity's book live free or die if you sign up for fox nation one year plan. steve: excellent. ainsley: hand it over to carley headlines for us. carley: incredible new video year night from russia. witnesses capturing the moment a gas station explodes. a large fireball seen shooting into the sky 600 miles southeast of moscow. the force of the blast reportedly shaking the windows

important educational experience occurs before the age of 6, that's not a lot of time to get the kind of development and skill-building that these children need. >> ainsley: there are 15 children that have actually died the numbers have gone up. >> i used the cdc statistics which come out every thursday. ainsley: right. okay. so, according to the national institute for health. the human brain exhibits dramatic biological development before the age of 6 when it has acquired approximately 90% of its adult volume article i was reading this morning goes on to say that prove coolers learn and we are looking at how this effects high schoolers and college kids. focus on preschoolers every state and age is different in the way that they learn, too. kids learn through play.

it's extremely difficult to do that when home and zoom with their kids. mother of a preschooler told not to put them in front of screens. >> i would agree with that i think most early childhood experts would agree with not putting children in front of the screen. they need concrete interaction with each other in order to learn. and they learn and n. groups. they learn by getting push back from their peers. so, you know, in order to acquire things like social skills. but, it's deeper than that they learn the under pinning of later academic skills comes about through play. through dramatic play. through simple activity on a

playground. i don't know about your neighborhood but our playgrounds have caution tape here. for instance, when a child runs, you know, and has that kind of arm motion or crosses hand over hand on a play structure. they are practicing putting both sides of their body and hemispheres of their brain together. called crossing the hem line. do it when we scratch our nose or cross our ankles but also when we read and write. if the child is not crossing the medicine line early and often enough, they will later have problems with reading and writing. ainsley: thank you so much for being with us. great advice. we have more "fox & friends" coming up. ♪ 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

was crouching down he had a weapon secret service or something that looked like a weapon. they did shoot him. he was rushed to the hospital. steve: the guy started running to the cop and got into a crouching position and the officer fired and hit him in the torso and is he in the hospital and apparently they could not find a gun could have been one of those situations where it was suicide by cop. we don't know any of the circumstances other than just those bare bones. we will keep you posted on that. brian, the big news could happen this morning. brian: one thing about the president he came out to the press conference after that and coolness under pressure certainly noteworthy. joe biden could announce his running mate at any time today, tomorrow, some time this week. ainsley: reports claiming that the former vice president spoke to his top choices and is planning his announcement. steve: griff jenkins joins you live in washington with a look who could possibly be joining the ticket because everybody has been looking at the tea leaves, griff, we're getting closer so give us the final look.

griff: we are steve, ainsley, and brian good morning. one of the favorite you will games picking a running mate. might get it today according to the "new york times." topping it kamala harris. remember former california attorney general. before that she was a district attorney in san francisco. shes would elected to the senate in 2016, becoming the second fraternal woman in history there. many speculated she was the choice after a photo showed harris' name on talking points on a card biden was holding. but some like san francisco's former mayor willie brown says she shouldn't accept it if she is given it. she should be the attorney general instead. critics suggesting that her law enforcement past is a liability along with early clashes with biden on the debate stage over racial issues. another california rising star congresswoman karen does the chairwoman of the congressional black calculation. served five terms in congress and before that the first african-american speaker ever elect to the california

assembly. bass has been heavily criticized lately though for comments she made back in the 1990s at socialist events praising cuba's communist regime. next on the list this from the obama-biden past administration susan rice, a role she served under obama's second term but if the first term she was confirmed by the senate in 2009 as the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. critics of rice point to her handling of the benghazi attack in 2012 that led to the deaths of 11 americans. rice is dismissing that criticism now saying this is just a political distraction entrepreneurship called her a liability for her alleged role in crossfire hurricane. also on the short list you have got michigan's governor gretchen whitmer who met recently with biden last sunday but she has emerged as governor very critical of the president's handling of the coronavirus. that's he is can a her chances.

senator warren a primary opponent of biden. thought she might get the nomination. in recent days she has been the best surrogate of all of them. raising over 7 million for the campaign. many say if she doesn't get the pick she may end up as treasury if there is a baden administration. finally rounding it out florida's congresswoman val demings the former orlando police chief and tammy duckworth an iraq war veteran. we shall see. then there is this question too, guys. will the pick be a black woman? letter from more than black leaders it should be otherwise you risk losing the elections. we will find out soon enough, brian, ainsley, steve? brian: boxed himself. in first a woman and then a woman of color. thanks, griff. enough to we will have to see for governor whitmer who has this great relationship with the vice president on the other hand you have susan rice who called

boberg dallas a person who served with great character. i'm not sure that's a positive. weave know she lied on five sunday shows i'm not sure that's a positive as well as her writing her cya memo on exit with honor and distinction bowe bergdahl on the other hand with congresswoman bass her appearance as a keynote speaker in two socialist events usually not looked at as a positive. to me this has been a very safe campaign. kamala harris seems to be the safe choice. here's lawrence jones on what he thought of the contenders. >> it's very clear based on my sources is he very close to susan rice. he really likes her. she doesn't have the same political capital the same likability that a kamala harris. so he is in the crosshairs right now. i do think it's going to be kamala harris she makes the most sense for the campaign.

prosecutor, you will attorney general. as we know he has to put a black woman. brian: because 100 significant african-american men wrote a letter saying you have got to do it if you want our support. ainsley: i agree with what lawrence was saying about allies picking they believe it's going to be senator kamala harris. they say she remains the favorite, that she will get the nod, makes the most sense. doesn't have a lot of baggage and has a relationship with joe biden and with capitol hill she is the one if you look at the whole list and contenders, kamala harris susan bass, susan rice, she is not as controversial and has experience. karen bass did praise castro, she has spoken at those two socialist events. susan rice has the benghazi stuff, you know, in her closet that is not going to bode well for her and the president was saying that she is a potential liability.

listen to the president. all right. we don't have that sound but he said i don't want to say how much she is involved. frankly, if he chooses her that's fine, but that's a potential liability. steve. steve: you know, one of the things regarding susan rice, one of the things that joe biden has said is it if elected i will restore the standing of the united states of america around the world. and on that short list nobody would help him more than susan rice. regarding kamala harris, the twitterverse is abuse because apparently sore some refinery yesterday kamala harris unfollowed joe biden so it could be any moment, folks. you will see it right here on fox. in the meantime take you tout chicago. yesterday at this time we were telling you about the widespread looting along the millionaire mile where all sort of stores were looted there were all sorts

of problems as well. apparently the localing was organized according to the "chicago sun times" on social media there was widespread destruction and mayhem. mayor lightfoot and police isn't david brown said that the cook county state attorney tim fox was soft on looters who were arrested in may and june setting the stage for the violence. fox who is running for re-election said that simply is not true. brian. brian: mayor lightfoot is in way over her head. all you see her doing is reacting to unrest in the streets that cost her city $66 million based off aerroneous report about 2:30 in the afternoon on a sunday that they say unarmed man was shot, african-american man was shot and he was 15 years old. turns out he was 20 years old. had a gun and complaint from the neighborhoods that he was shooting people. the police came when he shot at

them, they took him down, is he expected to survive. because of that, they used it as a go point to loot chicago for the last two days, once again, the city is flat on its back. they are not using the national guard. they turned down federal help. here is the mayor trying to explain herself. >> it almost sounds as though you are saying this is the reason we have courts not going too easy on the looters the last time around. >> don't take it from me. take by what's been done. i don't want to do your job for you go by what's been done. there were no consequences for. >> be clear. don't try to bait us. >> not baiting you, ma'am. >> asked and answered. do you have another question? >> yes, i do. >> don't bait us, that's called a good and probing question about a failed mayor watching a city burn costing millions of dollars and refusing to ask for help. you pulled off a great police

chief out of dallas. you have him in there let him do his job. here in chicago anthony behl joined us earlier saying this police chief needs to listen to the right people. >> being the city is in total unrest. in my opinion i think the mayor has lost the confidence and control of this city she slifning to the wrong people and the wrong people are the ones that is really leading this unrest in the city of chicago alder men are. disregard of the aldermen know the pulse of their city and ward. >> seems to be led by black lives matter the chicago edition. they actually were protesting outlines of a police station demanding the release of prisoners which is interesting. you don't usually see that in america. ainsley. ainsley: our country is so divided right now how to handle these riots and looting and defunding, not to defund.

you know, all the statistics show most americans do want police officers to have their job. there is this group that wants to continue this rioting and looting. so sad for me. i love this city. we are seeing this in new york, too. all these cities are changing and businesses that people have worked hard for are getting looted. steve. steve: ainsley that last part is so important because there is an item in the "chicago sun times" this morning that talks about how after the widespread destruction and looting there are a lot of businesses who may be reluctant to go and rebuild and reopen because they feel that the police will not be there to protect them ultimately that would have cascading effect they might not feel safe going in that neighborhood. they might not go shopping. won't go out to eat and down to the theater. chicago has a beautiful city center and that would just be a crying shame. nonetheless, people are -- who own some of those facades are i going i don't know if it's safe

to do it right now. brian: just a quick thing before we toss over to carley. same thing in new york to your point, ainsley, the people that need the cops the most want the cops. and they are not being heard. black and hispanic new york city council members are saying defund the police movement is nothing to do with them. they said it's run by white people who don't even live here. all these people say defund the police are not the one in the line of fire that need the protection and want to earn a living that will have the rhyme run rampant. i ask you, where are joe biden on this. where are democratic leaders on this. only howard dean, believe it or not, has spoken out about the ridiculous unrest in portland for the last three months, seattle's police chief resigns. and if the new york police chief had a sense about him he would resign too because this mayor has sold him out and the people of new york city. ainsley: all right. hand it over to carley for more headlines. carley: russia claims the first

country to approve a covid-19 vaccine. this comes after just two months of human testing. overnight russian president vladimir putin praising the vaccine's effectiveness. saying it was even given to his daughter. now, scientists are skeptical normally phase three trials last months and involve more people. president trump rushed out of the press briefing room after a shooting just feet away from the white house. officials firing at the alleged gunman who told the officers he had had a weapon and approached them aggressive manner before crouching in a shooter's stance. the president reacting to the incident. >> are you it's are ad by this at all, mr. president. >> i don't know. i do seem rattled. unfortunate this happens in the world but the world has always been a dangerous place. it's not something that's unique. carley: we have a live report from the white house coming up at 17:30 eastern time with the latest on the investigation and

counselor to the president kellyanne conway will also join us live to weigh in. seattle's police chief reportedly set to resign after the city council sets to defund her department. in her resignation letter carmen best told her officers the vast majority of people support them. she will step down september 2nd. congress council's plan will cut 100 officers and slash salaries and recruiting. rachel ray praising first responders after a fire ripped through her new york home. ray tweeting thank you to our local first responders for being kind and gracious in saving what they could of our home. grateful that my mom, my husband, my dog were all okay. these are the days we all have to be grateful for what we have not what we have lost. the fire destroying the second floor of her home. the first floor is still intact, including her state of the art kitchen. the cause of the fire is under

investigation but very scary stuff. thankfully everybody is a okay in that situation. steve: all right. very good. by the way, thank you, carley. apparently kamala harris has never followed joe biden via her campaign account. just heard that nonetheless, twitter was talking all about that yesterday. all right, meanwhile, moving on. governor andrew cuomo rejecting calls for independent review of new york's nursing home crisis. janice dean's in-laws died from covid-19 in nursing homes in new york and she got pulled from testifying at a hearing at the last minute. janice is going to join us with her story and what happened to her in-laws. it's a story you are not going to see any place else and you will see it next right here. ta-da! did you know liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need? given my unique lifestyle, that'd be perfect! let me grab a pen and some paper.

>> you look at where new york percentage of nursing home deaths. it's all the way at the bottom of the list of states you can see what you want in the numbers. but the numbers are the numbers you can politically spin numbers but those numbers are numbers. >> there you have got governor andrew cuomo rejecting calls for independent investigation into what went wrong with the state's handling of the coronavirus patients who were in hospitals and then sent back to nursing homes. brian: we kind of know what went wrong. more than 6,000 nursing home residents have died in the state from the virus including janice dean's in-law's. ainsley: janice planned on testifying about the virus before the state senate yesterday but things did not go as planned. she joins us now. hey, janice. >> good morning.

ainsley: good morning. what happened you were supposed to testify but you didn't. why? janice: i filled out all the paperwork. i wrote the letter to all the lawmakers that needed to be written to, and i got a confirmation that the chair was going to allow me to speak. they didn't have room for me last monday, the health commissioner spoke last mondays, but they were going to put me on the witness list for yesterday. i was supposed to hear back on the weekend. i never heard word. and i heard during the hearings yesterday that they couldn't accommodate me. but, late last night after i appeared on tucker carlson, a senator tom o'mara, republican senator new york state, admitted that they were uncomfortable, uncomfortable having me as a witness yesterday. so they took me off the list. steve: i will tell you what, they may have taken you off the list but they did not take you off television noble has been more vocal or brutally honest about what happened in the new

york nursing homes than you, janice. if you were testifying today right here on this program, what would you tell people? >> i wanted to tell the story of mickey and dean newman and how they were new york tough. born and bred in new york. they raised three children. lived in a four story walk-up for 60 years in new york city. they got sick and they couldn't take care of themselves or each other. and they were in separate assisted living facilities, hoping that we were going to get them together. then covid-19 came in play and took the lives of both of them. i want answers. i want accountability. the a.p. had a story today about how new york is hiding the actual numbers. de, my mother-in-law was transported to a hospital where she died there she got coronavirus in her assisted living facility. her number does not count. so they -- the governor is hiding. because he says he doesn't want an independent investigation,

that, to me, you know, there is something wrong with that because if he wasn't guilty of something, why wouldn't he welcome any and all investigations into his government? brian: we had so many decisions to make in stated government, local government and the federal government. on march 25th, this is pretty clear. stop me if i am wrong. he decided that hospitals, in order to save hospital bids, he was going to take infected patients and put them back in the nursing homes with the result was the death of 6600 at least nursing home residents. that was a huge mistake, especially if you faulk tore in we had the ship and we have the javits center in new york alone and i could not believe 44% of all deaths happened in nursing home facilities available in new york. to say me that's not a long, drawn out series of meetings and hearings. this is pretty cut and dry. who made that decision. right, janice?

>> yes. he got everything he wanted. there were many places where they could have brought coronavirus patients. but, instead, he put them in nursing homes. over 6,000 infected patients went into nursing homes. and the governor failed to take any responsibility. he has blamed everyone else from the president to the cdc to even the people that died in the nursing homes. and in the beginning he said, you know what in the buck stops at my desk. if you have a problem with anything, you blame me. and he has never taken any responsibility at all. he continues to blame everyone, including fox news. ainsley: janice, do you think they would a.b. live today if it weren't for that order? >> i would like more answers. i think his order definitely might have played a role in my father-in-law's death. and because my mother-in-law's number does not count, i want her number to count. we need to uncover all of the deaths here in new york. steve: janice, we did get a

quote from the senate majority communications director mike murphy who said we had so many -- regarding you not testifying. we have so many brave families that wanted to share their heart breaking stories as was made clear, if you couldn't testify in person, we will accept all written testimony. every victim should have their story heard and it's deeply troubling that she wasn't given the opportunity to provide testimony at today's hearing. janice has been a notable outspoken voice and advocate for the thousands of families who have lost oned ones from this virus, especially in adult care facilities and nursing facilities as well. your reaction to that? janice: i just wanted to tell my story. i don't want to be in this position. i'm not a political person. but if i can be the voice for the families that have lost loved ones and i have made one difference for one family then it was all worthwhile.

steve: yeah. brian: all right, janice. thanks so much. unfortunately live the fighting has to continue because he is stiff-arming everybody. he doesn't want answers and he mocks people that wanted inquiries and calls it political. it's a joke. janice dean, thanks so much. ainsley: thanks, janice. janice: thanks for giving me the moment today. brian: you got it. meanwhile, more "fox & friends" in just a moment. i'm joe biden and i approve this message. she was the most welcoming person you could ever imagine.

her home was the safe place. it was difficult to comprehend how quickly everything kind of spiraled downwards. we didn't even know that she had covid, to a week later, and her passing. the president made a huge mistake in downplaying this virus. there was a lack of leadership, a lack of responsibility, and a lack of resources. i felt like our elderly have not been a priority for this administration, that they don't matter. and, i feel like my grandmother didn't matter. last time i saw my grandmother, we weren't going to be allowed in the hospital. we asked if we could video chat her, and everyone could say a little something. we gathered as a family and we prayed. but the fact that she was alone, it just breaks my heart.

inflammation in your eye might be to blame.ck, 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.

ainsley: what's old is new again. dealerships across the country seeing a rise in used car sales. jeff flock joins us live from indiana with what's behind this trend. why is it, jeff? why are people buying more cars now? new car sales are way down but used cars, people are looking for a deal. this is a ford flex, it's a 23998 here on this lot. take a look at the numbers. used car sales even though new car sales are down year over year, used cars up 9%. inventories of used cars down 22%. john schmidt is the used car guy here at lake shore ford. you can't find used cars. >> it's very difficult.

i'm looking all over the midwest and further. >> somebody comes in for service you want to buy their car. >> absolutely. absolutely. take a look at auto auction where people get used cars. now at the highest level we have been in history for used car auctions. >> some vehicles are paying a heck of a lot of money for especially trucks. >> you said five or 6,000 more than you were last month? >> yes. >> amazing. wow. ainsley, people are looking for a deal right now lost a job or whatever not buying a new car but used car maybe because you want a better price. use car price down they are not turning in used cars so they don't have any type of inventory. i don't know if you have got one sitting around there somewhere at home. if you have got one to sell, this would be the time to do it? >do. ainsley: jeff flock from our fox business network. good to see you. brian, over to you.

brian: brotherly love home to one of the most iconic symbols and freedom not immune to cancel culture. growing group organized by next group rallying to disagree, can you imagine. this joining us now part of week long series on cancel culture, organize everything of quote the philadelphia statement and senior counselor and vice president of an alliance defending freedom. what is the pressroom mills of your organization? >> >> well, philadelphia statement is a call for all americans to recommit to free speech, to open debate and dialogue. while also committing to a shared future alongside people that we disagree with. there are a lot of prominent signatories on this. alee, dr. robert george, al--month-older from the southern baptist convention. what gives real power to a movement like this when everyday americans join a movement. they can do that in this case by going to the philly statement.org. read the statement and sign it and join this movement to protect free speech and resist

cancel culture. brian: you don't want people to agree with you but just have the freedom to speak out. for us to have that, corporate america has got to have that same tolerance and so does the public, correct? >> yeah. that's right. i mean, what we are seeing is poll from indicate co-institute 62% of americans afraid to express their opinions because of the toxicity of the culture. cancel culture dissenting points of view. it's got to stop. we note path forward our founders established that path 200 years ago in philadelphia when they enshrined the constitution. we are calling on a new generation of americans to defend free speech, to stand up for their rights and, look, we feel isolated. we feel alone. many people are afraid of cancel culture. but we can join together and defend free speech, resist cancel culture. stop the demonization of opponents and find a way forward where we can have a shared future with people we disagree

with. that's what it means to live in america. that's what makes us a great nation. brian: you know, what's interesting is so the so-called rich and famous were the ones so condemning in public personna. now they are beginning to pay the price. believe it or not, we might need them to lead the charge to push back because their careers are getting destroyed. >> yeah, you know, certainly cancel culture effects politicians and celebrities but it also effects every day americans. that's why i think that poll from cato institute is so significant. 62% of just everyday americans are starting to feel the bite of cancel culture and this blacklisting of people who hold views that someone doesn't like. and that has to stop. and so, you know, what i want to see and what i hope to see is that this statement starts a movement defending free speech. again, people can go to the philly statement.org. read the statement, sign the statement, learn more about the movement. brian: the key is. you don't have to agree with jeremy, you have to agree with

what jeremy believes and we all believe. i should have the right to speak your mind and not be condemned, destroyed, fired or exiled because of it. jeremy, thanks so much. hopefully you will get some momentum behind you. >> there is an old maximum, brian, i disagree with what you say, but i will defend to the death your right to say it. that's where we need to get back. to say. brian: absolutely or don't say it and hang out with people that agree with you and becomes a very factioned world and certainly a country. jeremy a thanks. >> thank you. brian: we will bring in cabot phillips to talk about campus reform. and i'll continue. president trump edges courted out of the briefing room after the secret service shoots armed man near the white house. we are live with the details coming in overnight about what happened. plus, counts lore to the president kellyanne conway will be here live.

the incident was under control. the secret service says what happened was a 51-year-old man approached an officer about a block away from the white house and told them that they had a weapon. the man ran away appeared to draw a weapon from his clothing and crouched as if he was about to fire a weapon. the secret service officer then shot him in the torso and he was taken to the hospital. >> the white house complex was never breached during the incident nor was the secret service protectee ever in danger. >> president trump returned to the briefing room a few minutes later. and after he was evacuated. and he really just continued his remarks and, of course, thanked the secret service. >> were you rattled by this at all, mr. president. >> i don't know. i do seem rattled? it's unfortunate that this is a world. but the world has always been a dangerous place. it's not something that you is unique. >> shootings certainly are not

unique. but it was pretty unique to have something like this happen this close to the white house while a presidential briefing was taking place this morning the president and several members of his senior staff thanking the secret service for keeping him and everybody inside the white house safe. brian, ainsley, and steve? ainsley: yeah. thank you so much, kristin. let's bring in kellyanne conway counselor to the president to react to this. good morning, kellyanne. >> good morning. ainsley: what is your reaction to what happened yesterday. >> i would like to add my voice tore thanking the secret service they are incredible men and women. they did incredible job here. you saw the president resume his duties. that's very donald trump also. the show must go on. the briefing must go on. the violence interrupting our cities bigger story here. look at chicago beautiful american city. they have had 414 people murdered this year over roughly 50% increase over last year. 1900 people shot, including

these kids. ladies and gentlemen, just stop and think about the nine children who have been murdered in chicago this year through gunshots. a little boy 3 years old in the back of his parents' car just ride ag long. a 13-year-old in her house in front of her entire family justover night you have allegedly the seattle police chief carmen best been on your network several times searching 28 years. police chief african-american woman resigning because the council is making good on its promise to cut the budget there for law enforcement. it would have reduced over 100 officers. you know, this is in the shadow of the gallup poll last week that showed 86% of americans want the same or more police presence in their communities and that includes 83% of hispanic americans and 81 portion o81% ofafrican-american. what's really incredible i see these mayors in their press conferences and really shameless

but not blameless and not nameless. what the most common word they say in their press conferences? not police, not sympathy, trump trump trump trump trump. we will not have the president and the feds here. everybody flexing their social media muscle. they are all so tough and it just means that people are shoveling hate at police officers, shoveling hate at people who work here. i think that people are also worried that donald trump is going to get four more years and they're starting to lose it. and you see that here and elsewhere yesterday as well. steve: do you see a lot of trump derangement syndrome and we have been talking about that for a while, kellyanne. of course, that shooting occurred just as the president was starting his coronavirus briefing in the briefing room. the big -- which is great because he updates us on what is happening in the united states. there is international news this morning and that is russia claims that they have now developed a covid-19 vaccine and they are going to start vaccinating millions of teachers and front line healthcare

workers this month. but, you know, behind that headline i was reading that the testing has been really small and some people are saying we don't know if this is safe. apparently they have given it to some of the scientists who worked on it and 50 military members and some volunteers but that is not the large testing group that we're used to seeing. >> that's right. that's why the u.s. standards are so much more stringent. of course, our fda in our country sets the standards and what i understand from the russia announcement is this is nowhere near where we are. which is we have six different vaccine candidates into phase 3. and they don't seem to be there yet. and even dr. anthony fauci earlier this month testified under oath in front of congress and says he hopes when china and russia are releasing their vaccines they have gone through rigorous testing at the very least. he said it would be problematic if that were not true. the president is getting vaccine update here at the white house today. i'm sure he will announce that

in an open press event and hopefully at his presser later on today. what he will be talking about are these six candidates including operation warped speed which has just been an incredible success to date. we -- nih director dr. collins said recently he has been there for decades. he has never seen something come together so swiftly and so successfully. results americans what they need to know we are in the final phases with a couple of those six candidate vaccine candidates and we think we can have hundreds of millions of doses in the next month alone. brian: can't wait for update. >> these are households like moderna and johnson and johnson. brian: kellyanne can we talk real quick in the minute or so we have left what's going on with the rescue package. "the washington post" reports today the white house officials, that might be you, believe that president trump has gained leverage with his executive actions. does that mean that democrats have to reach out to the white house in order to resume talks

or might the white house and leadership reach out to democrats? >> it can go either way. we have never stopped talking. the president said yesterday they have his phone number. they know where he lives and works, also we have our chief negotiators still very much involved in the game. and i think what the president did this weekend showed america two big things. number one is in the absence of congressional leadership and action, this president will always step into the breach and number two, what the president did is he basically told america when you look at your monthly bills. i'm trying to help you stay in your homes or your apartments through the non-eviction notices -- non-eviction relief. also, get some more money for the $400 plus on top of whatever you are already receiving so can help with you food or medicine or meet other household expenses. and, also, the president gave relief for the rest of 2020, ladies and gentlemen, for student loan payments that forbearance will help so many people staring at different bills every month and saying i can't meet my basic expenses.

i can't sleep at night. do you know what the democrats did and their friends in the media yet i repeat myself? they attacked it oh, this can't be and you didn't do -- well, congress, step up, step. in i noticed a number of those leaders, quote, unquote, very generous of me in congress are speaking at the democratic convention. make chuck schumer can use his convention speech next week to announce that he has a relief package with the republicans and with the white house. that would be a much better use of his time. brian: i agree. >> than whatever inventriclives they are going to hurl at the president. get it done for the person people. the president is ready to sign it. ainsley: the push to defund police is growing nationwide. the movement is making it harder for people to buy guns. we will break down the reasons why next. ♪ ree night. the open road is open again. and wherever you're headed, choice hotels is there.

steve the push to defund police gaining traction across the country and particularly in seattle yesterday this as firearm related background checks reached an all-time high. people are trying to buy more guns. for those looking to own a gun, buying a firearm in some defund police cities where crime is rising is much harder here with

reasons why attorney and gun rights activist i can see he has some guns at his house. good morning to you. >> good morning, how's it going? steve: it's going okay. you are not living in one of the defund the police towns. >> no. steve: but, if you were, you would be thinking if i'm going to keep myself and my family safe, maybe i should think about a firearm. at the same time, those same towns are making it harder to get a gun. >> yeah. i know. the one thing i think a lot of people are realizing in 2020 with respect to the rioting and all the chaos that's going on is they are starting to reach a reality point where they realize that they can't really depend on the government completely for their safety. and so, unfortunately, though, a lot of these people have voted for the very laws that are in place right now that are making it incredibly hard for them to get a firearm to protect themselves. so i definitely want to point out to those people living in these areas. do what you can to get a firearm to protect yourself within the means of what's going on now.

but, at the same time, looking forward towards the future, understand that these politicians and these policies that they are voting for are the reason they are in the situation that they are in now. so, make a change and learn from this mistake. steve: right. you say crimes will increase in cities that have the strictest form of gun control. and there are a lot of towns that you are describing right there. >> absolutely. when you think about a lot of these cities, they are dealing with all of these riots and chaos while at the same time talking about defunding police. all this does is enable and embolden criminals. especially when they know that the vast majority of the population in these cities don't have access to firearms the way they do in places like texas, for instance. steve: you know, when you look at, for instance, the things that happen in chicago, with the looting a couple of days ago, there are some businesses that are considering not reopening because it's like, you know, nobody is going to come and protect us because the cops weren't there when they burned me out. >> and that's the lie that a lot

of these places, these so-called gun control bagsian bastions. going to create gun laws keep you safe. in the times when they need the protection the most, they can't rely on the government. therefore, can't open their business, but they still have to go home and even in their homes they can't protect themselves because think are not allowed to have the firearms that they need to do. so so these gun laws actually end up making it harder for good people to protect themselves than they do preventing criminals from getting their hands on guns. clearly as we see in chicago, these criminals still get their hands on guns. steve: you are exactly right. thank you very much. >> thank you, thanks for having me. steve: coming up, senator tom cotton and lara trump. ttle surp. 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. ...

>> breaking overnight in seattle , the police chief reportedly announcing her resignation, as the city council defunds her department. steve: joe biden could announce his runningmate at any moment. >> based on my sources he is very close to susan rice. president trump: frankly if he chooses her that's fine but that's a potential liability. >> stimulus talks stalling on capitol hill. president trump: they're hurting people very badly. this would have been so easy for them to do. >> the senate was right to take economic action to provide economic relief to middle class families across the country. >> mayor lori lightfoot calling last nights crime unsettleing.

>> new details about what happened outside the white house >> this was because a uniform division secret service officer fired shots and a 51-year-old man they believe was armed. >> a great white shark soaring through the air braking a record as the highest water breach and of course it was all caught on camera take a look. >> ♪ ♪ steve: they're waving, as we saw that video, it must be shark week on one of the tv channels but it's news week, here on fox news channel a lot going on thank you very much for joining us on this tuesday, august 11. live from new york, it's hour three of fox & friends. brian: yeah, i just wonder ainsley if the shark was going for the record and did anyone tell him that he actually broke it. meanwhile, guess what's happen in our cities?

same thing that's been happening for the last three months there is civil unrest think about portland, three straight months. think about seattle, the autonomous zone, now you think about the police chief whose been warning, the city council, do not cut our budget. we're already on a thin layer of ice now, we're already over stretched. we're already working 12 hour shifts. they did, and they included her salary and this morning, she's announcing her retirement. she was making 28 $5,000. she's going to be making less. they're taking the police out of schools, and they're also continuing to take maybe 911 away and parking responsibilities away, but most of all, they're not letting them do their jobs. here is what the police chiefs letter includes. i'm confident the department will make it through these difficult times. you truly are the best police department in the country and trust me when i say the vast majority of people in seattle support you and appreciate you.

i look forward to seeing how this department moves forward through the process of re envisioning public safety but the fact that she's leaving means that she does not think this is a good move. ainsley: she sent that letter to her staffers they're cutting 100 officers slashing the budget by $3 million cutting salaries of individuals like the police chief and the 12-member command staff. they're eliminating the navigation team, eliminating the swat team. this is what those rioters this is what they wanted. the city council said that they're voting because this is what their constituents want. there was one person who vote against it and i thought oh, that person doesn't want to takeaway money from police officers, and then, upon further research no, that person didn't think they went far enough. let's bring in senator tom cotton member of the senate armed services committee good morning to you, senator. >> good morning, everyone. ainsley: what's your reaction to this and are we going to see this in other police departments around the country? >> well, ainsley i certainly hope not because if you see police chiefs retiring or you see police officers

retiring early, if you see liberals cutting police budgets by defunding the police, they're just the general dis respect for the police. you're going to see more of what we saw in chicago the other night. anarchists and rioters in the street, destroying property, risking lives. unfortunately we've seen that in so many cities all around the country this summer whether it's washington, new york, chicago, portland, seattle, one consistent thing we've seen is all these liberal mayors and governors think they can reason with these rioters but in the end it's not enough, because they want more and more and more they demand that the police be defunded and they demand that they continue to pullback from our cities and if that happens, all you get is more violence and more crime and the victims are innocent citizens. steve: yeah and you know, you give them an inch they take a mile, and you know senator, when you look at what chief best out in seattle was doing, she simply wanted to enforce the law.

you know, if people break the law, if people burn something down, i'm going to arrest them, but the people or at least somebody was impacting her and impressing upon her, you can't do it like that right now. times have changed. senator, times have changed. >> a lot of these liberal politicians live in fantasy land and these police chiefs and their police officers are simply trying to enforce the law and explain to them if you defund the police, if you tell the police to pullback from certain neighborhoods, if you just disrespect law enforcement in general, you're going to get more crime. you're not going to appease rioters in the street and unfortunately that's what we're continuing to see in so many of our cities. brian: and by the way think about joe biden's staffers. they gave money to a fund to help bail out be accused criminals who are charged one charge of sexual assault, another one of stabbing a friend in the minneapolis so not only

is joe biden really not speaking out not saying much. more democratic mayors falling flat on their face in times of pair ill, but his staffers are giving to a bailout fund? that's inexcusable but let's talk about who could be running with the vice president. you believe that susan rice, kamala harris, karen bass, they're all finalists, elizabeth warren is a finalist. you have the governor of michigan is a finalist. would susan rice trouble you? >> well, brian, susan rice was the typhoid mary of the obama administration policy every major debacle in president obama 's tenure, susan rice was in the middle of. look at china she consistently councilled appeasement towards china. she demanded our military leader s in the pacific not raise china's efforts to militarize the south china sea and create bases out of rocks in the water to extend the range of their planes and missiles. she was right in the middle of

the iran nuclear deal. she councilled appeasement of russia going into the 2016 election and then after the election she was at the center of spying on the trump campaign and unmasking american citizens who had been caught up in that. most nominees face the jury of the american people. susan rice be the first one to potentially face a grand jury as well. ainsley: you wrote this op-ed on foxnews.com if folks want to read it but the title is china sanctions won't affect me much but we'll never stop fighting for ccp's victims so china, we sanction china, individuals in china, 11 americans are sanctioned by china and you are one of them. why did you write this op-ed and what's the message? >> yeah, ainsley, i guess it's china sanction yesterday i'll have to cancel my long-planned second honeymoon. >> [laughter] >> but in the end, china is not coming for me. i'm just in the way. i'm in the way of all the people i defend, whether it's the millions of americans who have died or gotten sick or

lost their job because of the wuhan coronavirus. or the millions of factory workers whose jobs have been sent to china, or the millions of chinese people, whether they're hong kongers or wegers in northwest china who are facing a high-tech communist tyranny. china is sanctioning me because i am standing up to that communist tyranny and if xi-jinping and the chinese communist party think what i've done so far warrants a sanction, let me just say, they ain't seen nothing yet. steve: well there you go, a warning. thank you very much, senator tom cotton, for joining us today from your location. thank you, sir. >> thank you. steve: 8:20 here in new york city, rather 8:08 and 20 seconds here in new york city and now, a fox news alert. president trump you saw it happen live a little before 6:00 yesterday rushed out of the briefing room after the secret service wound up shooting a man just about a block from the white house. kristin fisher joins us live at

the white house with new details just to reveal. kristin? reporter: hey, good morning, guys. well, aside from some crime scene tape that's still up at the site of the shooting, one block away from here, one block away from the white house, everything outside here is pretty much back to normal but i tell you what, not every day that you see the president of the united states interrupted mid-sentence and then evacuated from the briefing room all while reporters are present and camera s are rolling. here is a moment as it happened shortly after president trump stepped up to the podium. president trump: they're going to be topping records hopefully soon. excuse me? reporter: well, after that moment, the president was taken to the oval office until the incident was under control. now the secret service is saying here is what happened. a 51-year-old man approached an officer, a secret service officer about a block away from

the white house and told him that he had a weapon. the man then ran away, appeared to draw a weapon from his clothing and crouched as if he was about to fire a weapon and the secret service officer shot him in the torso and both that man and secret service officer were taken to the hospital. in a statement later the secret service notes that "the white house complex was never hurt during the incident nor was the secret service, the president was he ever in danger," but this was a very unusual incident and president trump returned to the briefing room a few minutes after he was evacuated to thank the secret service for keeping him safe and counselor to the president kevin mccarthy echoed that sentiment in an interview this morning. >> they did their job here, you saw the president resumed his duties, the show must go on, the briefing went on. the violence that's erupting all over the country in our great cities is really the bigger story here. just look at chicago. beautiful american city, you

know they've had 414 people murdered this year. reporter: yeah, so that was kellyanne conway right there, still a lot of questions about exactly what happened and why this 51-year-old man rushed the secret verse officer and claimed to have a weapon and we don't know if he did indeed have a weapon or if it simply appeared to the officer he had one given the fact that the suspect said he did have a weapon on him so a lot of questions but the bottom line the secret service did the job they are tasked with doing which is keeping the president safe and everybody else inside this complex safe. brian, ainsley, and steve? ainsley: kristin fisher live this morning, thank you. carlie has headlines for us. reporter: that right search and rescue operations are underway in a baltimore neighborhood after a massive gas explosion. one person was killed and seven injured. large equipment being used to go through the rubble for others, possibly trapped.

the blast causing three homes to collapse. >> it's really setting in like someone was in that rubble, that you couldn't face. it hurts. reporter: no word yet on a cause baltimore gas and electric say there were no reported gas odors before the incident. >> president trump is slamming democrats for their inaction on covid-19 relief. this coming days after he signed executive orders extending unemployment benefits and eviction protection for americans. counselor to the president kellyanne conway joined us earlier to weigh in. >> so many people are staring at different bills every month saying i can't meet my basic expenses i can't sleep at night. he's giving me relief. do you know what the democrats did and their friends in the media, yet i repeat myself? they attacked it. reporter: the president accusing chuck schumer and nancy pelosi of only wanting bailout money for democratic-controlled cities >> congresswoman omar facing her

first re-election test today. she is being challenged by mel ton in minnesota's democratic primary. each candidate raised more than $4 million making it one of the most expensive races this year. meantime, connecticut is set to hold the last presidential primary in the nation. the state seeing 300,000 absentee ballot requests that's 10 times more than any other election in the state. >> and how about this , a great white shark soaring through the air, breaks a record as the highest water breach and it was all caught on camera. whoa! >> that was crazy. reporter: crazy indeed the shark reaching 15 feet in the air off the coast of seal island in south africa all part of discovery channel's shark week series, and brian, i do hear that the shark is very proud of

his accomplishments. >> right it's a new record. steve: wait how do they know it's a record? it's not every single shark jump >> yeah, the shark who jumps 1? i understand. i understand that shark feeling. steve: shark week all right, thank you. >> goodbye. steve: meanwhile vladimir putin claims russia has just approved the world's first covid-19 vaccine, it's a fox news alert, but how safe could it really be? dr. nicole saphier has concerns, you'll hear from her, coming up, next. i like liberty mutual.

with the covid-19 vaccine. vladimir putin praising its affecting this even before final testing is complete. joining us right now to weigh in fox news medical contributor and author of "make america healthy again" dr. nicole saphier. good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: so a lot of people are going oh, good the first vaccine but at the same time, you know, they say they're going to vaccinate teachers and frontline healthcare workers this month but it doesn't sound like they've tested it much. they say they've tested it on 50 members of the military, the scientists who worked on it and a couple of volunteers. is that something you would want shot in your arm? >> well, steve, it's interesting, because putin said that this is going to provide lasting immunity for up to two years, but i don't really understand how they can guarantee such lasting immunity when the first cases in russia on january 31 as you mentioned has only been given to 76 humans since mid-june. we already have a study out of u

cla telling us those antibodies that the vaccine can produce may only last three months so i'm extreme ly hesitant and curious as to how we can guarantee this two years of immunity. bottom line, steve, i've never heard of cutting safety measures as a means to producing anything of quality, and the reason that this is extremely concerning to me right now, steve, is because it potentially creates a false sense of security and it can also undermine trust in the vaccinations. there's a reason we have these phases. phase iii trials which we have several in, confirms and expands the safety and efficacy of these vaccines. they are crucial and steve, only 25-30% of vaccines that make it to phase iii will actually be used in the general population, and russia they are saying that they're going to start giving the vaccine to the high risk population, healthcare workers and vulnerable while they are undergoing phase iii but when only a quarter of them prove that it works and it's safe is that really a smart idea, steve?

steve: great point, but you know , it's a point of national pride. the whole world is trying to be the first and now russia says we win! but the effectiveness is the big question. now, there's a survey that came out that i was listening to here in new york city this morning. 75% of new york parents want their children to go to in- person school in the coming year, which means about 25 a quarter of them want to keep them at home for online learning. if you, as a parent, have a choice between sending your child to school in-person or keeping them at home, what are the concerns we need to be worried about because we heard so many things about whether or not the children are at risk. which of course they are. >> well, steve, being a parent is terrifying. you can attest to that as can i and i'm facing this decision with my three children coming in the next few weeks. the american academy of pediatrics came out with a very alarming report this week saying there's a 40% increase in

pediatric cases. now, i urge caution to people before they get very concerned with that shocking headline, because we don't know a lot of information about that report, steve. why were these children being tested? are we testing more children now because they're going back-to-school and they require that negative test? are we really identifying clinic ally significant cases or are we just identifying truly how widespread this virus is and how perhaps significantly more asymptomatic cases amongst children? we don't know a lot about covid in children and that's largely because they've been sheltered at home. what we do know is the negative impact of keeping children at home with the distance learning and the social isolation we see depression, anxiety, increased suicides and domestic violence is very terrible but steve going forward, we know that less than 10 years of age likely has less transmission, but children can get very sick from covid so we want to protect them just like we do from the flu and strep throat moving forward we need to keep

transmission down in the community, to get these children back-to-school. steve: a lot for a participant parent to think about dr. nicole saphier thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you. steve: meanwhile as we move on, on this tuesday, congresswoman karen bass is a top contender to be joe biden's runningmate, but would she fit in with his moderate beliefs? new reports say she's focused social events a couple of times, lara trump here with a reaction, coming up next. >> ♪ ♪ what if i sleep hot? ...or cold?

[confetti cannon popping] energizer. backed by science. matched by no one. ainsley: with less than one week to go until the democratic national convention, joe biden reportedly set to announce his runningmate imminently and this , as a new report reveals, that one of his top contenders is congresswoman karen bass, there's her picture, reportedly giving keynote speeches at two socialist forums in the 80s and in the 90s, so how would this resonate with voters? here to discuss is trump 2020 campaign senior advisor lar a trump, good morning to you, lara. >> hey, ainsley great to be with you. ainsley: good to see you so yeah , karen bass we're learning was a keynote speaker at two conferences socialist

conferences 80s and 90s and as you know she's praised castro in the past his regime in cube o how far, what does this say about the democratic party left they're going? >> yeah, this is a woman who has a fondness and an affection for communists. she says she was highly influenced by communists but this just goes to show you exactly who joe biden is. so while he's trying to present himself oftentimes as a moderate democrat do not be fooled by joe biden, ladies and gentlemen. this tells you all you need to know the fact that this woman is even in consideration to possibly be a vice presidential runningmate for joe biden tells you all you need to know. he is the true trojan horse for the far left radical socialist wing of the democrat party, and this is proof positive of that, if anything. ainsley: so her statement sent this statement to us. during her folks sent this , during her decades as a community organizer and activist

congresswoman bass spoke at hundreds of events, the sponsor of any given event was never her focus. it was the issues at hand, and the work that needed to be done. do you buy that? >> i don't buy that for a second. her own words are very clear and she says again, she was highly influenced by communists, fidel castro she folk of very fondly as well so i don't buy that for a second but this is more of what i think people are starting to see about this democrat party it is incredibly scary to think about what could happen if joe biden is whoever he decides to choose as his runningmate, get control of the white house in this country it be an un recognizable america to implement socialist and don't even take my word for that, ainsley. you take joe biden at his word because he signed a unity manifesto with the self-proclaim ed socialist himself, bernie sanders. that is where this party stands now, so it doesn't matter if this is his nominee as his runningmate or not.

what we know about joe biden and what we know about the democrat party is they are so far left now people are leaving that party in droves, coming over to vote for president donald trump. i meet people every day that say that party has left me. i can no longer vote for a democrat and that is exactly what you're going to see happen i think even more as we head towards november 3 and people are starting to see who the real joe biden is these days. ainsley: so the president tweet ed out locations of where he could possibly accept the gop nomination, and he put two locations, the great battlefield of gettysburg, pennsylvania and the white house. we will announce a decision soon weigh in on that can you tell us where it will be and when he will make his final decision if he hasn't yet? >> well we don't have any announcements to make, but i'll tell you obviously this has been a unique year for everyone and the convention is no stranger to that. we've obviously had to change locations a couple of different times because of covid but the most important thing is that we will renominate president

donald trump and vice president mike pence so that they can be then re-elected again on november 3. that will happen no matter where the president gives his speech. he will accept that nomination and that is the most important thing to come out of all of this ainsley: riding around in that women for trump pink bus you're in pennsylvania thanks for joining us. >> you got it. ainsley: it's 8:31 here on the east coast. chicago reeling from massive looting across the city and black lives matter says the unrest won't end any time soon. larry elder says the ferguson effect is happening in chicago right now and he's on deck. ♪ book two separate qualifying stays and earn a free night. the open road is open again. and wherever you're headed, choice hotels is there. book direct at choicehotels.com. ♪

hold you the accountable for your actions. brian: wow she sounds serious chicago mayor lori lightfoot giving the warning to the shooter looters. ainsley: the windy city seeing a second night of looting with police force to block downtown access this morning. steve: todd piro is here with the growing tensions in the windy city. todd: steve, ainsley and brian good morning. unrest in chicago for a second night protesters rallying outside a police precinct holding up a sign reading "our futures have been looted, loot back" and of course, chanting loudly. >> [chanting] todd: rioters ransacked high end stores sunday during a protest organized on social media in the wake of a police-involved shooting. more than 100 people were arrested, 13 officers hurt. you heard mayor lightfoot condemn the violence but she insists she does not want federal troops in her city.

police superintendent david brown blamed the chaos on cook county states attorney kim fox who has dismissed more than 25,000 felony cases. brown said that this has convinced criminals there will be no consequences but brown doesn't see it that way. >> the quest for a simple answer over this month have caused this is not a legitimate quest. todd: former chicago cop anthony napolitano says fox might have to go. >> it's time to step up. i think chicagoans woke up on monday and drew a line on the sand and said you're on the side of good or evil and if the states attorney can't do it she's got to step down. todd: black lives matter saying it's okay to loot as the businesses have insurance one activist calling it " repira tions." steve, ainsley and brian back to you. brian: thank you very much let's bring in larry elder, radio talk show host executive produce producer of the document "uncle tom" so the founder of

black lives matter chicago condemn the shooting that happened sunday afternoon and condemned the mayor, and"we will remain in the streets until our demands are met." i guess he went on to also say that part of those demands are it's okay to loot the stores as part of repirations. are you buying into this? >> [laughter] brian let's remember why we're here. we're here because of the death of george floyd and the argument that the police are killing blacks just because they're black. the data do not show that whatsoever. if anything, the data shows that the police are more hesitant more reluctant to pull the trigger against the black suspect than a white suspect and if you don't believe me in a very interesting interview with candice owens a left wing professor from temple maked mark lemont hill you'll often see on cable, an anti-trump guy, conceded the data do not show that the police are killing blacks just because they're black. now what's happening of course is because the police are like this , they're pulling back it's called the ferguson effect.

if the cops are perceived as racist they aren't pro of course african americans, they aren't getting involved involved in interacting with witnesses because it increases the chances they are accused of engaging in police brutality or police profiling. so you're finding this all over the country, it happened after the death of michael brown outside in st. louis, it happened when there was a high profile shooting in chicago, its happened all over the country called the ferguson effect and cops are pulling back bad guys, crime goes up and the people who are hurt are the very people that black lives matter purports to care about. it's bizarre. ainsley: so let's talk about 2020 because joe biden is supposedly going to announce his vp pick either today or tomorrow. they are saying some time in the middle of the week. there's that letter that went out 100 black men, male leaders in our country including shawn comes, artists, celebrity , filmmakers signed this letter saying the vp pick must be a black woman and fail ing to do so means you will

lose this election. this is pay portion of that letter up on your screen right now. failing to select a black woman in 2020 means you'll lose the election, we don't want to vote. the devil we know versus the devil, we don't because we are tired of voting for devils, period. vice president biden don't take that risk, black women are defining the future of politics so it's time to let one define the future of your campaign. larry what's your response? >> i guess, ainsley, i'm old school. i kind of subscribe to the mlk doctrine. i thought it was about content of character rather than color of skin but biden said he wants a female runningmate because of his recent insults of black people saying you're not black if you don't support me, black people don't have any real diversity and he's under huge pressure to name a black female. what gets me though is how he's gotten away with lying for decades about his alleged civil rights record and he said went he was a teenager he used to go go to black churches and

go out and engage in desegregat ing lunch counters in delaware, zero evidence he ever did that and when the new york times looked into it and found he had never done it he said his staffers gently reminded joe biden that he'd never done this any more he just stopped saying it and biden agreed to stop saying it and kept saying it anyway. he lied and said he got arrested trying to see nelson mandela. he lied and said the naacp supported him when in fact as a non-profit can't support anybody in any race but he's lying and lying about his record which shows you he thinks the black people as props, designed to manipulate, tell him anything you want and they will go in there and pull that lever 95% for me but i think trump has flipped the narrative because the economy did so well under him, he signed the first act that allowed something like 5,000 mostly black men busted for crack cocaine to have their sentences reconsidered 2,000 have been released he's done more money for historically black colleges increased money

for enterprise zones, doing something about choice in school , and for crying outloud he wants to stop the competition of illegal aliens, unskilled that pose competition for jobs and puts downward pressure for jobs that otherwise be held by unskilled black and brown people in the inner city for all these reasons, i believe it doesn't really matter what joe biden does. i think trump is going to get a much higher percentage of the black vote than he did last time maybe twice as much or three times as much. in any case he'll get enough so that joe biden will probably not be able to win at the presidential level. steve: well let's see a pick for vice president, from the vice president could come today. larry thank you very much for joining us today. >> and i bet it won't be condi rice. brian: i'm pretty sure you're right. steve: larry, thank you. all right, 18 minutes now before the top of the hour and look right there, carlie just popped up. reporter: that's right got an update to bring you today the full d.c. court of appeals will rehear arguments over the doj's decision to drop

brian: wow the national weather service confirming a small tornado touched down on chicago 's north side before moving over lake michigan. ainsley: pieces of a roof seen flying through the sky and nearly 400,000 are waking up this morning in the dark. meteorologist adam klotz joins us live. hey, adam. adam: good morning guys that was a big scary storm we saw yesterday the good news is everything that brought that together falling apart at this point but i do want to show you very widespread every one of these blue dots that is wind damage over the last 24 hours we saw winds up to 100 miles an hour widespread getting to 80-me lot of damage with this system. the conditions just aren't going to be there to see that again today. what we are going to have is another day of extreme heat. take what your average daytime high be depending on where you are add another 5-10 degrees so again across the south spots getting up into the 90s widespread in northern portions of the country into the 80s the upper 80s add in that

humidity, the heavy, sticky air, it's suddenly going to feel like you're up to 100, 105 degrees it is another really warm day out there, this heat should probably be breaking on wednesday or thursday, so within the next couple of days. back out to you guys. steve: adam thank you very much. meanwhile, we like to remind you brand new season of american build is available now on fox nation. american build is a series all about american ingenuity and creativity and building things that have never been built before, like everything that went into the astrodome that we showed you yesterday or the george washington bridge, the biggest suspension bridge ever built. the chrysler building, the st. louis arch, or what you're looking at right there, the lincoln tunnel, and there's a guy talking about the lincoln tunnel. here is more. >> to enter the pressurized area adjust themselves to that high pressure and then climb down into the tunnel and go to work for the day. steve: depending on the amount of air pressure they could work

as little as 30 minutes at a stretch to a maximum of three hours. >> have to work incredibly hard the risks coming out were potentially extreme physical pain and also risk of paralysis and even worse in some cases, death. >> would take a three hour break, you work for three hours, you decompress for three hours and go back to work for three hours. three hours was all the body could take. steve: and because these things had never been built before, ainsley and brian, they had to come up with new systems to make it work and a lot of it was trial and error. it's all part of american built, available now. if you act between now and august 22 you can get a free copy of shawn hannity's new book , live free or die, if you sign up for a one year patriot plan head over to foxnation.com for more information and brian and ainsley every time you drive-thru the lincoln tunnel from now on after you watch that you'll think i know now how they did that because i always wonder ed. brian: i'm so glad they did it

all before we were born so they didn't ask us to do it. i with have no idea. ainsley: when i drive-thru it i'm amazed there's not one tiny little crack and all the water comes in i can't wait to watch it thanks steve. brian: coming up straight ahead the big 10 could become the first major conference to cancel football season former ohio statewide receiver turned congressman anthony gonzalez says that be an enormous mistake but first sandra smith to find out what's on her show. >> sandra: a special guest coming up on that same topic moments from now meanwhile, biden vp pick, it could come in at any moment we'll be watching for that this morning, all eyes on the city of chicago now under lockdown after widespread looting broke out monday morning , and the mayor warning the lockdown could now last for days, reaction from a business owner whose restaurant was in the eye of the hurricane, plus senator ron johnson demanding fbi director christopher wray turn overall records related to crossfire hurricane investigation. so what does he hope to learn and what could it mean for james

brian: the big 10 fall football season potentially on the chop ping block so are so many others today the two power 5 conferences expected to vote on whether to delay or cancel the seasonal together. our next guest says canceling the season be a disaster, gop ohio congressman anthony gonzalez a former wide receiver for ohio state is here to weigh in. we don't know what's going to happen. first off, congressman your feeling about risks and all should they play? >> well, my feeling has always been the same which is i think you need to be very transparent with what the risks are, lay those out, and present them to the parents and to the athletes, and then let them make the decisions. now my general opinion here is that if you're inside of the college football system, you're connected to your coaches and connected to the medical staff, you're connected to the infrastructure, that is incredible that that's going to give you the best chance of beating the virus. now if you cancel the games, now all of a sudden, these kids don't have anything to look forward to in the fall.

friday and saturday and sunday is wide open they will be out doing what college kids do, and so my argument be that inside of that college football system, the support system is so incredible that i believe that gives them the best chance of avoiding the virus but also overcoming it should they contract it. brian: lsu wants to play nebraska if the big 10 cancels we'll play outside the conference and i saw last night, trevor lawrence, best player in the league, who does not need to play this , has put together hashtag, we are united trying to rally players together and they want to play, to have a voice in this process, because right now, you don't even have the ncaa, these are conferences meeting with each other cutting out the players that doesn't seem right. >> yeah, no i agree with you and i applaud trevor lawrence and i think justin field is the best player in college football by the way but that aside for a second, they all came forward and made this statement and i agree and

my plea to the administrators and to the conferences is look if the parents want their kids to play, if the players want to play the coaches want to coach, then i think we should create that option and if they don't, that's fine too, because this is an unusual situation and the risk is there, and so n that. let's not penalize those kids but let's not destroy what is ultimately the most incredible opportunity that so many of these kids will ever have. i was a college athlete. i can speak from this. this was the best opportunity i had in my life. i learned more inside of a college locker room than i did anywhere else in my life and i've had great educational experiences which i value, but when you take this opportunity to wait especially for kids who are coming from some of the most difficult environments that we have in this country, i think you're making a major mistake and you have to be very careful because those kids who are already so vulnerable, those are the ones i worry about. i worry about them falling through the cracks. brian: and congressman and unfortunately ear without of time but what kind of message is it when in trouble, you disband,

you don't take it on. there are 28 positive tests in louisville. guess what like the marlins, they'll pass those tests, they'll test negative and go back on the field. that is also a great message to the american people. so thanks so much congressman and i hope people are listening to you this morning. >> thank you. brian: all right, and to the players and if you don't want to play you keep your eligibility but if you do give them that option. meanwhile, more fox & friends in just a moment don't move. a lot of healthy foods are very acidic and they're actually pulling out the minerals from the enamel. i like to recommend pronamel to my patients. pronamel will help push the minerals back into the enamel, to keep the enamel strong. i know it works. and i hear nothing but great things from my patients that have switched to it.
