federal property, assault on federal law enforcement officers. part of this is following the money. what does that mean? examining financial transactions related to this coordinated collectivity. the materials that have been used in these riots, how are they purchased? where's the money coming from? working our way up. the department of justice is pursuing those avenues with respect to the investigation. todd: in kenosha alone riding has cost the city $2 million in public property damage. jillian: progressive senator ed marky defense joe kennedy in the senate primary. kennedy backed by house speaker nancy pelosi is the first in his family to lose an election in the state. house ways and means chair richard neil keeps his congressional seat fending off mayor alex morse will run unopposed in november's general election. longtime incumbent

of all this, businesses that have been around for 100 years some of them. how do you think yesterday played out? >> it played out great, i apply the president for going despite the democratic governor didn't want him there. it was a great show of respect for kenosha and wisconsin and law and order, the president was clear from day one this is not acceptable in our cities and our streets and he is one of the few people doing everything he can to stop this violence. democrat mayors and governors in portland don't want his help. crime, looting, the president stands up for law and order and the majority of americans who don't think this should be happening. todd: you have written an op-ed explaining why universal mail in voting is dangerous. what are your key take aways? >> our primary election, 2.2 million ballots cast by

absentee mail in voting. there is a difference between the mail in voting democrats want and the absentee voting we do in florida. you have to be a registered voter to request an absentee ballot. you have to be voter id that you reside in the state of florida and a citizen of the country before you can request a ballot. that's different from california and other states and what democrats want to do is mail ballots to every person. it would be disastrous for our country. he would have illegal immigrants voting and people are not citizens voting, people who have died that aren't off the voter rolls voting and wouldn't know where these ballots are coming from. they would just be showing up at the supervisor of elections office not knowing who is casting the vote. universal mail in voting would be disastrous for the country and what we do in florida is different as you saw in the primary last week. jillian: if there were enough time to put a proper system in

place would you be open to that idea and that conversation or are you generally speaking totally against it? it appears things are attempting to be rushed in certain areas to get this ready for november when as you know there's a lot at stake here. >> they want to do it now so anybody can vote. it has taken years to get florida's absentee system to the place where it is with all the checks and balances to ensure the people who are actually voting are the ballots being cast. you can't do that in the next 30 to 60 days absentee ballots in florida will be going out in the next couple weeks. we have hard deadlines, the ballot has to be received by the supervisor of elections office on election day. those are the safeguards the need to be in place you can't put in place nationwide in the time of the succumbing election. jillian: would you be okay with

it, the proper time and everything taking place to ensure this could be done safely and correctly? >> if done the way we do it in florida absolutely to ensure citizens and registered voters voting and voter id laws to ensure those people requesting a ballot are registered voters absolutely. todd: not like this election snuck up on us. maybe we will be ready by 2024. appreciate your time. jillian: it is 18 after the hour. political privilege, nancy pelosi slammed for getting her hair done without a mask while salons are closed. todd: radio host tony cast says no surprise, he sounds off next. ♪

todd: washington dc could look different next time you visit. a group in the capital calling for 150 monuments and memorials to be changed or removed due to, quote, disqualifying history. here to weigh in radio talkshow host tony katz. how will removing the jefferson memorial, the washington monument and the other 150 monuments make washington dc better and or safer? >> how are they going to find all the moving trucks when they are in new york moving everybody out because nobody wants to live in bill diblasio's new york? secondly it doesn't. this is an attempt at whitewashing history, putting a end to the history. that is not racial in any way.

it means look at george washington and say look at the washington monument. he was a slave owner. his entire history doesn't exist. he was not about condoning slavery. he was about understanding there was a time in our history and great things happened, men who were not perfect. there is no excuse or condoning of slavery but to say george washington doesn't have a place in american history is madness. if we go down this road, they are not going to move the jefferson monument or washington monument. renaming schools is what they do. they have woodrow wilson on the list like princeton did some renaming but if they go about contextualizing then we have a lot of people in american history who are going to need contextualizing because we could argue easily that slavery is wrong. we can go through a lot of people's history and find the wrong things and that is going on the plaque as well. i don't think that's the best

move for america. are we going to rename washington dc? >> a lot of people are on money. if you use cash in the united states of america you have to embrace the history of those individuals. on this point, can you see this happening in a biden administration? >> this is happening anytime, if you have a desire, to say all-american history is rooted in evil, they will do anything to prove that history is evil. we spent time trying to find ways to hate as opposed to finding a way as the vernacular goes to edge hate, stunning and shocking and shameful. >> i think i'm the next person,

todd: back-to-school in the big apple, new york and a teachers union striking a deal that would delay the start of the year and increase coronavirus precautions.

>> we have a huge obligation to get the health and safety part right. nothing replaces in personal learning. >> new york city's in person school system has the most aggressive policies and greatest safeguards of any school system. jillian: official win for the public school system or compromise with serious consequences? job a rally joins us to discuss. >> thank you. jillian: it was no surprise to anyone school was scheduled to start in august or september depending where you live. they had months to get their plans in place. what is going on? >> it is typical bill diblasio governing body whatever comes along. in september it comes after august every year. the department of education had months since school close to figure out what to do. it is unfortunate to see this brinkmanship on the part of the mayor and the teachers and the result is kids are not only going to school one third of the time they should be going but also going to delay the start of

the school year for no clear purpose. it is not clear what teachers or administrators will be doing while kids are starting school. i am speaking as a parent. it is frustrating, they were two sides in this negotiation, neither of those sides were parents or guardians of children. if you are like me as a dad who want their child to be in school every single day like many districts are opening around the country there is no option for you in new york city public schools. this should be the goal and it is unclear why it is not the goal or working toward the final solution. todd: look at the plan, delayed start to september 21st, mandatory monthly testing for students and staff, random testing, 20% of the school population, 30 days of ppp available. paying that vote advocate are the protection requests by the teachers union unreasonable?

>> we are talking about protections that are greater than workers in a hospital or a nursing home or direct contact with kim jong un for patients. i'm glad to see people getting tests or things like temperature checks but when you talk about taking random samples of 5 and 6-year-old kids throughout the year i find that troubling and above and beyond. if that is part of the reason it is dealing the return of full-time in person classroom instruction, i have a lot of concerns. rob: there is also the safety of the city, first a judge is punched in the face and the nypd chaplain is mugged. is the safety of the city plummeting? know when you leadership is saying enough is enough. it's go back to the way it used to be a few years ago and put politics aside.

people are getting hurt and people are fleeing this place. >> you set of key phrase, putting politics aside. that is almost impossible right now. this didn't happen in a vacuum. this happened with eliminating police units, proactive police units, defunding the police, criminalizing police officers and police actions. this crime spree hasn't started in a vacuum. it would take democrats to say we were wrong, things are not going as planned. criminals are not obeying the law anymore and we need police, not happening. jillian: thank you for joining us, appreciate your time. ice agents arresting 2000 illegal immigrants during a 6-week operation. the nationwide sweep focusing on undocumented immigrants with

omar loves to see his name in bright light. omar won't affect anyone like our tech manager. nana in the caribbean will make landfall as a minimal hurricane across central america. no big threats. we are watching a wave off the coast of africa which has a better chance to develop over the next 5 to 7 days, we will watch for that but there is omar, what we call a fish store moving away from land. nana is moving towards central america. we want to make sure all the folks in belize now there is a possible hurricane on their doorstep. current temperatures 70 in new york, feeling far like temperatures, still very warm in texas towards louisiana and we have the potential for flash flooding over texas and oklahoma and arkansas, the same areas affected by laura last week. we've got omar in.

todd: thank you on his behalf. jillian: 36 after the hour. donald trump with the big 10. >> democrats that don't want to see it happen but they want to play and the fans want to see it. jillian: at the conference reverse course? jack brewer makes his prediction next.

jillian: welcome back. the nfl prepping for the study of the season revealing plans for racial justice messaging including messages like end racism or it takes all of us. jack brewer joins us with the latest. tell me what you think of the

strategy we know of right now. >> i love it. every organization should go out and fight and support the causes they believe in but don't just use it to rally support or a piece people, use it for real solutions, you talk about racism, that is a spiritual battle. bring god into the conversation. let's get to the core of what is going on in our country and around the world. you can't just try to appease people and go with the masses to rally support to appease players, to appease a small fragment of fans. it is time to talk about what we need to do as a nation to get the soul back. what are we going to do to fix the problems we face each and every day as americans and across the globe acute.

jillian: having heart-to-heart conversations like we've been doing with you pretty often is a way to understand people's perspective. let's talk about this. the president talking about big 10 football. listen to what he has to say. >> i had a good conversation with the commissioner of big 10 football, kevin warren. you have democrats that don't want to see it happen but i think they want to play and fans want to see it. jillian: do you think they should play? >> i hope they wake up. they believe they should play. kevin warren is a man i admire. those 14 or so presidents around the big 10 have to step up. they made this political. these universities are liberal

universities taking a stand against this president, they want to push their liberal doctrine on all these students and continue to suppress conservative voices at their university. i feel so bad for so many of those big 10 football players who worked all their lives to play this sport. not a single player has been hospitalized by coronavirus, not a single ballplayer died of coronavirus. it is laughable to see in a sport where people get injuries every single time they step on the football field you let coronavirus be the reason you don't let people play. at the end of the day we have to stop politicizing these issues. we talked about the national football league, the real issues that are hanging, we have kids that are fatherless, a crisis going on in our country right now in our inner cities where

boys and girls can't read and write. we have an issue in our homes, broken homes and families that don't have the resources to go to this school and you have democrats pushing school choice and those policies, let's stop talking about issues that politicize the oppressing of people. enough is enough. if we care about people we will go out and vote for policies that allow black and brown kids options and ability to get an education and live the american dream instead of politicizing their oppression. it is ridiculous. jillian: i can tell you are passionate about this. we love having these conversations with you, thank you for joining us. todd: the odds of a trump victory on election day heightened, the wall street giant alerting investors to a

in november. the strategist wrote his research found betting odds are even between the two candidates due to the impact of opinion on violent protests and other factors. based on past research there could be a shift of 5-10 points in bowls from biden to trump as the perception of protests, that they could be artificially skewed to biden by 5 percent-6%. todd: could contract tracing get off the ground? we have been hearing about it for months. >> google trying to auto generate apps for otto tracing to be used automatically by public health authorities. it isn't much, virginia, alabama, arizona and nevada using the platform of these giants, the apps uses bluetooth

of money. after all is he the preferred candidate of the corporatist elites out there. the big money people who have been abusing american workers. who have been complicit for example for the chinese communist party. the big money can'ts of industry. the power brokers of washington, d.c.'s corridors. they are clearfully favor of joe biden. can he raise a lot of money? absolutely. point out a couple things. number one not lacking for fire power at all. you mentioned raised 76 million for our convention that tops what the democrats raised during their convention we are doing it unlike the democrats from small dollar. a lot of the the deplorables sending in 10, $20 because they care about this country an constitution. speaking about money, you pointed out the betting markets out there. i care more about somebody's opinion when they are willing to risk some money on that opinion. when we look at the betting markets and what they showed and real clear politics does an average of these markets it. shows that joe biden just a few weeks ago had a 20 point advantage over president trump. it is now a statistical tie.

dead here from there not only are the deplorables sending their money to us because they trust and believe in this campaign. also a lot of folks no, matter what their political view might be. a lot of folks are wagers that the president is going to win the momentum if anything is on the president's side. jillian: led me into my next line of thought. things are getting closer as you made reference. to say you wonder if they are reading the signs or feeling the pressure joe biden his campaign now realizing we need to get him out of his house and on the campaign trail they are starting to do a little bit of that they said they would be doing more of it. does that worry you guys at all? >> no. listen, we want him out of that basement. we hope that we have been part of smoking him out of his basement and forcing him to engage with the american people not just because of our political operative, you know, goals but because this is important for the country. you can't run for president from the basement. this isn't the 1800s you can't win a campaign from your porch.

he has to get out and make a case to the people. by the way when he did emerge and gave a 12 minute speech to a whopping crowd of 8 people in pittsburgh. when he did, what did he do? he lied. he absolutely lied and said he does not want to ban fracking when we have him on tape repeatedly, perhaps even dozens of times saying exactly that that he does want to ban frackenning. the more we get joe biden out. the more we can get him to engage and he does so very rarely. he doesn't subject himself to the scrutiny of the press which our president does on a daily basis. but the more we can get him out there, the more it will be revealed that this man is number one a boxer who no longer belongs in the ring. number two, that he regrets a regressioaregression to globalie we don't want to go again economically. todd: steve cortes from the trump campaign senior strategy advisory and he joined us this morning on "fox & friends first." steve, we thank you for your
