and washington, d.c., they are being told that ballots there could be delayed for a narrow set of voters. all this as mail-in voting expected to expand in november because of coronavirus. the administration is being accused of removing some mass-mail sorting machines and taking other measures that critics charge will slow the flow of election voting. david spunt is live in bridgewater, new jersey near where the president is spending time in westminster and we will carry live right here on fox, hi, david. david: eric, good afternoon, i can expect president trump will be addressing this controversy surrounding the post office and mail-in voting today. he's been talking about it. you can expect it for a while coming up for the election. eric, the first post master general in 1775, a man named benjamin franklin, that's how long the system has been in place. right now the usps in dire straights, they need $25 billion to continue operate that according to democrats

especially the fact that we are seeing increase likely in mail-in voting over the next couple of months. the president, though, said not so fast. he's not willing to just give in and give the money. he wants democrats to meet him half way at the table to discuss some covid relief. he says if democrats come to the tight on the covid relief plans, he will talk to them. now the president wants to suspend the payroll tax, he also wants to give $105 billion to schools. he says democrats don't want to meet him there. that's why he believes there's a stand-still with the u.s. postal service. eric. eric: yeah, and the standstill and standoff is continuing and causing both lawmakers on on aisle to criticize the post master's action. david: including susan collins. here is what she had to say about the usps?

>> and those do need to be dealt with, but now it's not the time to be cutting back services. david: this morning eric, a group of protestors stood outside postmaster general's lewis dejoy's apartment, dejoy friend of the president under increasing pressure and criticism for his stance on funding his agency making sure millions of mail-in ballots are counted properly. >> should he resign? >> oh, he shouldn't even be there to begin with and any way to get rid of him, please do so. david: president trump openly work to go destroy the post office and sabotage is the ability to deliver absentee ballots, time to be counted this from house speaker nancy pelosi, she continues in the time of a pandemic. the postal system is election central. now, eric, this is

interesting. right now more than half of all u.s. states will not count postmarked ballots that arrive after election day. many of these absentee ballots don't even come to people in the mail until about a month before election day, so if there are significant delays in the post all system, it's scared to think that some mail-no votes will come after election day and may not be counted, eric. eric: in the congressional race in new york city, the post office or the board of elections mailed 33,000 the night before election day and how do you get them back then? as you know, david, the president has slammed mail-in voting. he has said though that there's no problem can absentee voting. he will vote absentee from the white house down in florida. what is the difference between mail-in and absentee? a lot of folks think it's the same. david: it's a great question. i will do special sunday night and explain to you and experts agree that

absentee vote asking mail-in voting in the sense it goes in the mail. but what the president is talking about is universal mail-in voting where all registers voters in a given state unsolicited, they are not asking to receive an actual ballot in the mail ready to fill out and send back to the department of elections for that state whereas absentee ballot there's a little bit more stringent involved and somebody who is requesting a ballot, application comes in the mail and you fill out the application and then you get a ballot. that's the differentiation the president is making, he's saying absentee ballot okay, universal mail-in balloting bad. no question, eric, he will be talking about it today, these states simply, simply may not be able to handle this influs of mail-in voting because people do not want to stand in lines in the middle of a pandemic, eric. eric: we will be talking to the secretary of state in washington state. they've been using mail-in voting for years. she will be on with us in about 5 minutes and we will ask her that

question, david, thank you. arthel. arthel: eric, what about fedex and ups they will likely play little to no role in helping the postal service deliver ballots to final destinations this fall. ups staying in a statement, ballots must be postmarked in order to count and only the usps can do that. fedex says it does accept individual ballots but that customers should take a close look at their state's guidelines before putting a ballot in one of its envelopes. the statements came after calls on social med were for the private companies to help lessen the burden on the postal service, eric. eric: arthel, all of this while we are told there's a senate investigation about to get underway in cost-cutting moves in the postal service and what the postmaster general has ordered. that according to aide for senator elizabeth warren who has called for the investigation. the postal service

inspector general also looking at possible conflicts of interest involving mr. richard dejoy, post master general and reuters to look at financial disclosures and he owns millions of stocks in postal service rivals. arthel. arthel: we want to give you a picture of just how many people might vote by mail. taking a look at new york times analysis, all registered voters in the 33 yellow states can apply for an absentee ballot. that's up to 115 million people. now in the nine blue states and washington, d.c., all registered voters will automatically receive a ballot in the mail. that accounts for 44 million and in the 8 red states, total population of 50 million, voters need to provide an excuse to get an absentee ballot in the mail.

the times estimates if everyone were to vote by mail it would make up 76% of all registered voters in the country. eric. eric: and go it the wrong mail -- it's not richard dejoy, it's lewis dejoy who is the post master general. the biden campaign ripping into the president because it would be used by vote by mail efforts and biden call ago salt in our democracy but the president seeming to be more open to negotiation in all of this. jacqui heinrich in wilmington, delaware covering the biden-harris campaign and has more on that, jacqui? >> last night former vice president joe biden reacted to the news that trust postal service was removing dozen os blue-steel mailboxes across several states amid warnings from usps to state that is mail-in ballots may not arrive in time to be counted. biden said i was joking

earlier with a couple on the call, i wonder if you're outside trying to hold down your mailboxes. they're going around literally with tractor trailers picking up mailboxes. you ought to go online and check out what they are doing in oregon. i mean, it's bizarre. the post office claimed the removals were part of routine effort to shift underused boxes to higher-volume areas but following widespread criticism the agency announced they would stop removing boxes after election. democrats quick to claim voter suppression and president trump admitted he we wanted to block to rescue agency because he opposes mail-in voting which has long argued is right with fraud. post master general loyal supporter and republican donor enacting cost-saving measures after the agency lost $9 billion last year. the changes are being blamed for significant mail delays ahead of huge absentee turnout expected from the pandemic. changes are under investigation by the post office inspector general and arizona's democratic secretary of state announced the

state is investigating whether president trump and his administration committed a crime as it's illegal to delay delivery of a ballot. yesterday the postal workers union endorsed biden saying pandemic is threatening but the current administration is refusing relief and senator harris weighed in during her first interview as biden's running mate yesterday. >> everybody has to remember this and ask the question of yourself, why don't they want us to vote? why don't they want us to vote? why are they creating obstacles to us voting? well, the answer is because when we vote things change. when we vote things get better. >> yesterday both ups and fedex warned that they and other parties can't ship ballots because only the u.s. postal service has lawful post-marking authority, eric. eric: all right, jacqui,

thanks so much, arthel. arthel: the push to get faster results in coronavirus testing could be getting a major boost after the fda approves a new saliva test. meanwhile the numbers are still grim, the u.s. has recorded more than 5.3 million cases of the virus with over 168,000 deaths. let's go to charles watson, live in atlanta with more and, charles, what can you tell us about the new test? charles: hi, arthel. the test is quicker and cheaper than the normal nasal swabs that we are used to using today. researchers says the test is called saliva direct. it can be collected in sterile container cutting costs significantly because the test doesn't require separate extraction kit to help detect covid-19. experts say the saliva should also be significantly cheaper than the nasal swab which typically runs around $100 per test

kit. former obama healthcare aide, accuracy in, tweet, official data shows that 88 to 94% if you assume 90% sensitivity, this is the best accuracy of any saliva test and mba has begun using and partnering to have at least a dozen of its team and bubble testing voluntarily using using the new method. arthel: mba bubble seems to be working for them. i understand that the fda is, again, acknowledging there's a nationwide shortage again in gloves, masker and certain ventilators, what's up with that? arthel: the shortage includes massive shortage of masks, ventilators and surgical gowns, swabs using for testing and supplies needed to collect -- collection samples. you know, these are all things medical workers

need to safely and effectively respond to the coronavirus pandemic which so far has killed more than 5 million people in this country, the fda did not named the manufacturers of any of devices on the list and otherwise it could lead to, quote, potential hoarding and right now officials will take a look for any signs of shortages, arthel. arthel: charles watson in atlanta. thank you. eric. eric: well, arthel the big question for the presidential campaign is voting by mail safe. the president says no but other says it is very reliable. e-mail post office this morning and mail-in ballots may arrive late and we will speak to secretary of state for voters that rely on mail-in voting ta-da! did you know liberty mutual customizes your car insurance

to handle the mail-in voting. you know why, because washington state has been doing it for decades. the secretary of state joins us now. welcome, first, secretary of state, washington state was really the first in the country to do all mail-in voting and you have been doing it for many years, how has it been going? >> we've had had great success in washington and i have to point that oregon was the first state and we were the second. eric: okay, i don't want to upset your neighbors to the south. how does it work and critics that it's right with fraud and could be wide spread with fraud and all the sorts of issues and criticizing what they call universal mail-in voting where ballots are sent to every registered voter. first of all, do you have that system and how does it work? >> we have had that system since 2011 and when people register to vote in washington, they provide their driver's license or state id card

or social security number and we verify that those with databases and when ballots are returned from voters we check signature on the envelope to signature on file to initial registration to verify that it is the voter that the ballot was issued to and we have multiple layers of security to ensure that each voter only votes ones. well, you know, i think it's just accessible to -- susceptible to fraud as someone robbing a bank. very similar threads. we built in a lot of things to control and prevent any kind of fraud or any kind of nefarious activity but if someone really wants to walk into a bank and shove a gun into one's face and do that we have ways to prevent, prosecutors on the back end and elections are the same way. if someone, you know, perpetrates fraud, it's a felony in our state and we will prosecute it. eric: it happened about

216 cases from 2016 to 2018 or is that a misnomer? >> that's correct. out of 6 million ballots cast. is it perfect, no, but it's not ramped fraud either. eric: in terms of what's going on with the fraud, you got a notice, what did they about election and mail-in voting and what are your concerns? >> well, they were just reminding us of the postage rate we pay which is nonprofit bulk and the delivery time standard is between 3 and 10 days whereas first-class service is between 2 and 5 days, and they were just reminding us that we pay a lower rate and therefore it could take up to ten days to receive -- for a ballot to be received by a voter or them returning it back. now washington has a postmark cut off and as long as voter gets postmark on or election

day that can be marked. eric: man, we are getting education in mail-in voting. who knew that your ballots were on bulk rate. you know, i know magazines are bulk rate and this sort of thing. what does that mean to the individual voter? if you're out there right now and you don't want to go to polls because of coronavirus, what is your advice in order to make sure that your mail-in vote would be counted? >> well, remember washington has two- decade experience with the usps and it's a good one and it's a model for the rest of the country. i'm highly confident that the usps will have capability and capacity to process ballots in a timely manner and they always have given us really first-class service rate, first-class service in their delivery of ballots and i'm confident that they are going to continue to do that. they prioritize it accordingly, so voters get your ballots in early. if you're like our state and you have ballot drop

boxes, if it's close to election day, use the ballot drop-off boxes and check your registration and make sure we have the correct address so we can get you the ballot on the first try. eric: that's really important because people go to polling place and their name is not there and they get upset and you can go on the computer i guess in most states and check your registration. finally, quickly, what's your advice to voters to make sure that they don't have any mess-ups? >> right now check your registration, you know, you may have moved since the last time you voted or changed your name and we want to have the right, correct information so we can make sure your ballot can be counted. eric: all right, kim, a lot of experience in mail-in voting in washington state. thank you. we will check up back with you, secretary of state, in terms of how it's going as we continue through the election, thanks for joining us. >> thank you. eric: of course. arthel: eric, thank you, firefighters in california work to go contain numerous wild fires there and they are up against dangerous and difficult conditions.

minister shinzo abe saying the peace the country enjoys today is built on the sacrifices of the millions who lost their lives during that period. 100,000 americans and 71,000 british and common wealth soldiers also died in the battle in the pacific theater. eric: back here at home crews in california are trying to get a handle on several wild fires there. intense heat and bone-dry conditions, they have been making the job much, much harder. meanwhile police are searching for a man that they believe may have intentionally started the ranch fire. that one has already burned 2500 acres. kristina coleman live in santa monica with the very latest on the fires christina: hey, eric, the heat caused dangerous fires and blackouts. they want to make sure people are practicing

social distancing because of coronavirus. >> pretty much every night we are seeing some folks who are not following the rules and not sticking to that and, you know, this is not a moment for that. like there's so much community spread. christina: the statewide heat has also strained california's electrical system prompting rolling blackouts, something this state hasn't had in years. blackouts impacted hundreds of thousands of people and rotating outages ended last night but they may not be over. the state's power grid operator will decide whether to continue the rolling outages on a day-to-day basis because the heat wave is expected to last throughout the week and as for those wild fires, they are burning across parts of the south and southwest. the grisly creek fire has burned more than 19,000 acres so far. colorado says firefighters are top priority right now. >> the grisly creek fire

is priority in the entire nation right now and resources are coming from around the country and the nation is rallying to colorado in our time of need, all of colorado is under drought conditions right now, so we are at great heightened risk in many areas. christina: multiple fires are burning in southern california, the dry vegetation fueling the intense flames. authorities determined the ranch fire was caused by arson, they are looking for a homeless man in connection to this fire which has burned at least 2500 acres so far and these dangerous fire conditions are expected to continue and the excessive heat warnings are still in effect for arizona, california and nevada and they are expected to be in effect through at least this wednesday, eric. eric: it is so difficult and especially for those who are fighting it. kristina coleman in santa monica, arthel. arthel: it's been 5

months since kentucky police officer shot breonna taylor and state attorneys general consider to weigh possible charges in the 3 officers in the case. breonna's mother reacting after meeting with state attorney general on thursday. >> at this point it's bigger than breonna. it's bigger than black lives, you know, it's about bridging the gap between us and the police. it's about bringing back the communities. it's about being able to stand up for each other and there definitely shouldn't be another breonna taylor anywhere. arthel: office of kentucky attorney general releasing statement, attorney general cameron was grateful today to meet with the family of ms. breonna taylor, the investigation remains ongoing and our office

of special prosecution continues to review all the facts in the case to determine the truth. bringing in our panel right now to discuss all of this, trey the truth and michael jay moore is a former u.s. attorney for the middle district of georgia and partner at the law firm. i want to start with you. you temporary moved to louisville to keep pressure on attorney general and why did you feel compelled to move kentucky and have you had -- have had any contact with attorney general there, mr. cameron? >> the residency was -- it's a team of us, but it needs to be done because i feel like different things that we have done and different actions we've tooken

have swept across the u.s. were for real. our main goal is -- we haven't seen each other other than run-in his house so we haven't physically seen him. arthel: the run-in, you're talking a couple of weeks ago, dozens of you guys were protesting and then you were arrested as a result of being on his property. is that the run-in you're talking about? >> yes, ma'am. we became louisville 87 at that point. we were given felony charges. that's been dismissed since. we still have other charges but the felonies are gone. arthel: okay, if i have time i will get back to you. what's your part in the protest for justice in the breonna taylor case? >> i'm the cofounder of until freedom. we pretty much got the theme and contacted by the attorney benjamin

krump and we didn't know it was happening so when we got contacted we decided to come out here on memorial day in which we did a wreath and we became invested at that point and we have been here ever since. that's when you see us, louisville 87, that was pretty much second time we had came out here and we decided that, you know, at this point nobody is really paying attention and they think we are playing, we are not playing and we want to show that we are very serious. arthel: understood. michael, when trey, mison, tamika, why haven't arrests been made or charges filed? what's your answer? >> i don't have an answer. i really can't make an excuse for kentucky attorney general. i want to make sure to

say breonna taylor's name, if you think about it we fought and won gulf war in 42 days and we are now talking going half a year since this case happened and evidence is evidence and it's the same evidence from the night of the shooting and that hadn't changed and there's really no excuse that they could make at this point for delaying, looking at the evidence. my experience has been typically the longer things go, the more likely people are to try to change their story or do something about physical evidence, and so i'm particularly concerned at the length of time that it's taken. remember too that -- i believe it was mr. walker, her boyfriend, they indicted him within six days, six days of the shooting, called the grand jury in and put his case up there and had him charge of attempted murder at the time. arthel: he was inside of his home and he wasn't sure who it was. >> my point is if they could charge him in six days why are we sitting here now almost six months later on a charge with the police

officers. there are a number of things they can look at, they can look at levels of homicide and manslaughter, they could look at murder and talk about things like self-defense and those are arguments about law and the facts are the facts and the facts that existed on the night of this killing and there's really no reason not to put the case before the grand jury at this point. i can't think of any reason. i think a prosecutor would have had case in front of a jury months ago. arthel: you have 3 members of the louisville metro police involved, sergeant and detectives miles and bret who was fired on june 29th, hankinson was the officer who shot multiple shots and killed breonna taylor. i was reading an article on fox news website, quote, if this warrant was based upon a blatant

misrepresentation by lmpd, officers to a circuit court judge then add perjury to list of illegal officer conduct that led to a beautiful and innocent woman's death. they should have never been at that home and they should all be fired and prosecuted to the full extent permitted by law. michael, i'm going to ask you for a short answer because i have to get back to tray before we finish. as you know attorney benjamin crump has been working with family, should there be investigation or change of venue? >> i don't think there's any question there ought to be an independent investigation. i think the justice department ought to get involved as they look at law enforcement conduct. there's no way that you can ask the police to police themselves in this kind of case, independent inquiry, taught bring in a special prosecutor maybe from outside of the jurisdiction. other than the elected attorney general who is

look agent the case now, so they ought to do that and may very well look at a change. that typically happens after charges are filed. it's a move by one of the parties to get the case in front of what they would perceive to be a neutral jury pool, yes, and yes, again, the delay at this point is simply inexcusable and i'm hopeful that we will see things moving forward in the very near future. arthel: and tray, i can't expound, i'm running out of time so i can't expound about the arrest but i know i have spoken to you and it's my understanding that you and your group to follow all proper guidelines in terms of your rights to protest and not infringe upon others' peoples rights or illegally been on the property. i know that you have been doing that. i want to ask you, tray, have you spoken with breonna's mother, tamika palmer, how is she doing? >> she's in good spirit, of course, you know, a lot of people would have to kind of camouflage

and hurt but we literally were with her ten minutes ago and the whole community of louisville, vegetables and fruit. we talk to her every few days. arthel: listen, at one point ms. palmer was made that this is bigger than breonna, she said, this is about trying to find a way to come together for the community and the police to come together and we are going to leave on her message in this segment. my son lennon and michael jay moore, we want to thank you for being here. >> thank you. eric: our hearts go out to breonna's family, of course. the coronavirus has pit every business in the nation and some that rely on the summer season, they are left dry and what they are trying to do to prepare

people go to their homes and so on so our assumption is risk of covid-19 coming into the workplace and we will minimize risk of anyone getting ill. so initially, we are testing everyone two to three times a week when arrive to go workplace and having them fill out questionnaire as well as temperature check or any signs and symptoms of covid-19. before they're entering the building they are given surgical masks and asked to sanitize their hands, their laptops, phones, any bags and packages prior to being brought in and we also have compliance officer that is help support staff in making sure that they're following all safety measures taking place and we have special zones set up throughout the workplace to make sure that the correct ppe is worn in these zones. there are zones that are outside that are part of the least ppe and zones

that are recording that require the most ppe and the last measure which is the most -- one of the most important measures we've set in place is that we not only do we sanitize all surfaces but we do what hospitals have been doing for decades now to minimize the risk of transmission of viruses throughout the air, is that we sanitize the air. we do this by making sure there's adequate air flow wherever windows are able to be kept open, we keep them open, and we use filters to try to purify the air to decrease concentration of potential virus in the air and if all measures are done together, what we have set up we believe is going to help decrease the potential spread of covid amongst the workplace. arthel: well, clean air is a big deal in fighting the virus and trying to contain it. i wanted to ask you, you know, apart from following state or local government guidelines, if you're a business owner looking to reopen

small or large, would you say that getting a filter is one of the main steps to take? >> they are not a silver bullet and they have to be done in accordance with everyone else. masks, hand sanitizers and you have to purify the air especially if you rely on keeping patrons indoors. if you don't have purrfication of the air you're running much higher risk of potential outbreaks and business shutting down again. arthel: is this a hepa facility they're you can run to home hepo or is this something special? not every business has a big budget like netflix, so if i'm a smaller, you know, separate business owner, private business owner,i can grab this at big-box store like home depot and lowes? >> absolutely. they are affordable for businesses especially businesses that are suffering from being

shut down. they're very affordable and can be bought to help keep employees and patrons safe. arthel: well, dr. amir fahid, simple but effective steps to keeping folks safe. good luck and i hope that the viewers can take some of your tips and apply to their businesses. we thank you very much dr. amir fahid for joining us. >> thank you for having me. arthel: absolutely. eric: well, it's almost it for us but we will be back at 4:00 p.m. eastern and an hour after that at 5:00 p.m. eastern and president trump will have a news conference that we will carry live here on fox news channel. that's it for me i'm eric sean and arthel is -- arthel because it's time. ♪ ♪ yeah. ♪ time for grilled cheese.
