2:01 pm
is going public. >> and lisa. >> the olympics are officially over, but would anyone notice? we break down the ratings plunge of the 2020 tokyo games. ♪ >> but first, we begin with a fox news alert. a chicago police officer killed in the line of duty has been identified as officer ella french. late last night, two of our own were shot. we lost officer ella french, murdered while conducting a traffic stop with her partners. our hearts go out to her family, friends and coworkers. the second officer is still fighting for his life. please keep him in your prayers and thoughts, and we given with our senior correspondent mike tobin, he's live for us in chicago with what we learned. mike. >> and, trace, yeah, police sources saying that police officer who was survived was shot three times. one of the bullets went through his eye. he is currentlying for his
2:02 pm
life -- fighting for his life. the officer who gave her life in the name of public safety has been identified. she was just 29 years old, ella french. she had been on the force since 2018. police officers gathered at the hospital, they hugged and shed a tear for the officers. a mayor lori lightfoot declared a day of mourning. she urged the public particularly in black and brown neighborhoods to end the constant strife with police. david brown noted that police officers put on the uniform again this morning and returned to the streets. >> asking chicago to wrap their arms around our police officers today. and encourage them to continue their great work. >> reporter: the incident occurred just after 9:00 local time in a troubled south side neighborhood. the officers were part of a community safety team. they pulled a car over, two men
2:03 pm
and one woman inside. one of the men opened fire, the officers returned fire. both officers were hit, the gunman was hit. he survived. both of the men were arrested right away. the woman in the car escaped but was picked up this morning. 27 chicago police officers have been shot at so far this year, but last night the two officers were hit marked the 10th and 11th officers to be hit by gunfire so far this year. trace? >> mike tobin live from chicago, thank you. at least 45 people shot, 4 killed including the chicago plirvetion since last night. and according to the chicago sun times, so far this month 155 people have been shot in gun violence across the city. and i want to start with gianno in this, but i wanted to clarify if very quickly, you talk about the sun times article, that article was posted at 6:11 this morning. so from 7:00 last night until 6:11 this morning, 11 hours and 11 minutes, 45 people were shot. that's more than 4 people per
2:04 pm
hour, and if anybody doesn't think that chicago, the south side, the west side, are war zones at this point in time, they need to look at the numbers again. you're from, gianno, and i know this is very are personal to you. >> yeah, it is. and it's, it's really unfortunate that it is a war zone, chicago. and i recently had a situation. my younger sister called me last week, i was in italy, and she told me that the night before she was leaving the grocery store when two people, a man and a woman, walked up to her and attacked her. it was unprovoked, he had her three-month-old son with her, my nephew. they beat her down to the ground, kicked her in the face and stomach and pulled a gun out and told her they would kill her and her son. these are issues that many individuals across the city whether it be on the south side, the west side where this historically happens or whether you be downtown on even in lincoln lincoln park where there's usually a younger, white group
2:05 pm
of folks, college students live. there's been mass shootings in those areas which we had never seen before. who's to blame? the mayor of chicago, the cook county prosecutor especially. kim fox has released 25,000 felony cases including murder cases. there was an analysis by the sun times also that showed in the last six years over a thousand shootings, almost 150 people who died from those shootings. two conviction out of over a thousand people. this is not an american city. the leadership needs to be kicked out, and the residents of chicago have to start telling on the people who are committing the crimes. snitching needs to be the new season in chicago. >> yeah. our hearts go out to you and your family. that story -- >> she's okay. thank god she's okay now. thank you. >> that is great news. you talk about murderers being released, they're running out of ankle bracelets. they're releasing murder suspects in chicago and running out of ankle bracelets, so in
2:06 pm
some cases you have murder suspects wandering around with no checks, no observation at all. and, abby, you listen to the police officers who were under fire and the people in these neighborhoods under fire, i want to play this sound bite from the reverend eugene rivers on the problem of the violence and then get your response. >> black-on-black violence is a problem. you can't say that -- say black lives matter, which is ridiculous x then refuse to con front the fact that black people are killing black people. then you want to defund the police! that's absurd, it's irresponsible, and any politician that suggests that should be, they should be defunded. >> we often wonder, abby, why on a day like this when you had 45 shootings and 2 police officers shot, why are there not rallies in why are there not marches through the streets of these cities by black lives matter and
2:07 pm
other people concerned? >> absolutely. and the only thing we did see was all of the police officers showing up for that fallen officer and the one fighting for his life. but the reverend brings up a very good point, why are you still trying to defund the police? why are you, cori bush, saying the things you said all last week? when you push that sort of rhetoric, it's not just dangerous because of the obvious implications of defund the police, it's dangerous because you're making these police officers feel like they have no support every time they put on that uniform and leave their families behind. the ones who are still going to work like the woman who just died, she left behind a two-month-old baby. she just came back from maternity leave, and she put her life on the line for others. ella french, you can -- she was just back from maternity leave, rather. i'm hearing now that we don't know if she was back from maternity leave, but she did leave behind a two-month-old bay
2:08 pm
baby. and again, i'm trying to relate, you're a normal human being, you're asking a surgeon to save your life and you turn to him or her and say, hey, i don't really support what you're doing, but actually can you still save my life? that's what's happening with these police officers. they're, again, going out with little to no support, and it's rhetoric that needs to change. >> you were talking about cori bush and what she said about paying for security because she pays for it because she says her life has been threatened, and yet she still wants to defund the police. it is a sound bite that is worth playing again so here it is and then you can give response, lisa. >> i know i have had attempts on my life, and i have too much worked to do. so if i end up spending 200,000, if i spend $10 more on it, you know what? i get to be here to do the work. so suck it up, and defunding the police has to happen. we're talking about every single year increasing the budget for police and then, and then the budget for health and human
2:09 pm
services continuing to shrink in st. louis being number one for police violence year after year after year, number one, number two for homicides year -- >> [inaudible] >> so when we added more money to the police, but we're still dying. >> congresswoman, i -- >> just for clarity, lisa, she said it on wednesday and then doubled down this morning. >> yeah. and, trace, she talks about the attempts on her life. what about the attempts on the lives of the people living in chicago, the majority of the shooting victims are black there? what about their lives? do their lives matter to cori bush and democrats like her who believe in defunding the police? and ella french was 29 years old. her entire life ahead of her, there's another police officer fighting for his life right now. people like cori bush don't care. lori lightfoot does not care. joe biden does not care, kamala harris does not care, and is do you know why? they have made police officers the target in america. they have glorified criminals
2:10 pm
making cops the bad guys. kamala harris said she was prout prout -- proud of him,. is that someone that we should be proud of as a society? cities like new york putting up statues of george floyd, a man who along with his friends robbed a house and put a gun to a woman's stomach. is that someone we should be lionizing as a society? do you start to see the problem of why we have criminals acting with impunity and police officers being gunned down in our streets? we need to rethink this thought process, and democrats are to blame, particularly the ones who have called for defunding the police in america. >> what do you think, gianno, last thoughts on this? is it that they don't care or don't know what to do? i mean, this has been a problem that's been underway for a long time in chicago. what are your final thoughts on this? >> well, my final thoughts are this city has become a complete war zone for so many of the citizens there. you should be more tough on crime instead of lenient.
2:11 pm
why would you drop 25,000 felony cases including murders, kim fox, if you really cared? that's a really principal point that lisa made there. and i don't believe that they really care the way that they should to change the dynamic for many of the residents in the city of chicago. >> yep, very important conversation. thank you all. next on "the big sunday show," it is the height of hypocrisy. obama hits the dance floor at his scaled-back birthday bash while coronavirus spreads. and dr. fauci pushes for more mandates. next. ♪♪ get this party started right now. ♪ get this party started ♪♪ hot dog or... chicken? only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ when you earn a degree with university of phoenix,

♪ celebrate good times, come on. ♪ >> welcome back to "the big sunday show." 9 that might be a song that was playing at full-term president barack obama's big bash. he was seen dancing maskless during his 60th birthday party last night. that was scaled back which was still attended by hundreds of people. meanwhile, in a new interview this morning, dr. fauci pushed for more mandates. take a listen. >> i'm almost certain, in fact, i am certain that as soon as the
2:16 pm
fda fully approves the vaccine, you're going to see the empowerment of local enterprises giving mandates. and i strongly e support that. >> all right. a lot to unpack there, trace. i want to start with you. if you turn our attention to france, they justed had their fourth straight weekend of protests, 100-200,000 people taking to the streets because of with covid-19 health pass that was just implemented there. >> right. >> if that ends up happening here in the united states, do you think we'll see the same thing? >> yeah, i mean, it's possible. people are pushing back on kind of thing. by the way, the obama thing? it was scaled back so much, abby, that the police officers were calling the traffic situation a blank show and couldn't get control of it. and the whole thing is somebody invariably will get covid, and they're going to push back with the whole hypocrisy thing which is, i think, fair.
2:17 pm
we are not seeing a rise in cases because somebody didn't wear a mask somewhere, it's for one reason, because not enough people are getting the vaccination. look, i'm a big believer in the vaccine. i think it's a mistake not to to get vaccinated because the bottom line is it could save your life. but you have to remember we're a free country, and people are free to make their own decisions and free to make their own mistakes. i think reason magazine really kind of summed it up, and i want to put this up. they said is, quoting here: these people about not getting the vaccine, they have made their own decisions and assume the resulting dangers just like people who smoke, eat too much, ride motorcycles or go rock climbing. in a free society, people have the right to make their own risk assessments even if others don't approve, and the rest of us should get to live our lives without limiting ourselves because of the decisions made by others. should we mandate vaccines? it's america, we shouldn't. people are going to push back if we do, and the same thing. if you don't want to get
2:18 pm
vaccinated, i shouldn't have to wear a mask because you chose not to get vaccinated, abby. >> yeah, that's an interesting piece that you brought attention to. i actually heard you were invited to obama's birthday bash and turned it down. [laughter] you just straight up -- >> yeah. [laughter] had to do the big show. >> saw was invited too. >> yeah, i guess so. >> i don't think so. [laughter] >> well, somebody who probably was not invited was joe rogan, he had something very interesting to say. he always seems to put it so eloquently, so let's take a listen to what he had to say. >> if they can figure out a way to force you into carrying papers, into carrying something that lets you into businesses or lets you do this or lets businesses open, as soon as you give politicians power, any kind of power that didn't exist previously, historically they don't relinquish that power. they find new reasons to use it. because when you give people freedom, let people do whatever
2:19 pm
the [bleep] they want to do, they actually find ways to succeed, grow and thrive. as soon as possible you tell them you have to do this or you can't do that, you have to listen to me, now you have a mini dictator. you have one step away from a king. you're moving one step closer to dictatorship. >> historically speaking, they do not really wish that power -- relinquish this power. lisa, make sure we don't have to bleep you out like we had to joe. [laughter] >> they would be very upset with me. he is absolutely right. we're never going to be as free in this society as we were before covid. fear is a powerful tool to use to control, and that's what the people in charge have done. if they were worried about covid, would obama be holding a party with hundreds of people not wearing a mask, walking around with his friends? but they want you to wear a mask around your children in your own home. it is being used to control society. those are system of the things that happened over the past year. we've seen the censorship of
2:20 pm
speech. you couldn't can even talk about the origins of the coronavirus a year ago. you would be shut down, censored, taken down from youtube. what were some of the first steps that were taken? closing down churches, shutting down the freedom of religion here in america. we saw a gutting of the middle class, of small businesses while corporations at the top continue to grow, become more powerful. the same people that democrats are holding in their pockets as with we saw with corporations going after georgia as well. we see an increasing amount of americans that are now subservient and reliant on the federal government with the welfare state expanding as well with. these are the people that want to take away americans' guns. so, yeah, i think we are one election cycle away from becoming an thorntarian nation. so people -- authoritarian nation. people need to wake up, get mobile aized and turn out in the 2022 election. >> and another thing people are saying about this vaccine mandate is what about the people who have underlying health
2:21 pm
conditions, can't get the vaccine or people just having it anding with don't get it because you have the antibodies? what do they do when they want to indoor dine and they don't have a vaccine passport because they were told not to get vaccinated? >> well, they remain fearful in their homes, and that's a really big problem because the messaging we've been getting from the cdc and people like dr. fauci has been confusing at best. and interestingly enough, seeing former president obama at this party, many americans would like to do what he's doing, have a party with all of their friends with no masks, but we don't have that opportunity. interestingly enough, yesterday after this very show, i'm in los angeles right now, after this show i tried to go into a venue to meet some friends, and i was rejected. why? because i didn't have a covid passport. i didn't have a recent covid test either. and i'm wondering if according to the cdc as of last friday 70% of americans are at least one covid shot already, but you can
2:22 pm
still get covid by being vaccinated, what is the point of having a vaccination passport anyway? you can get it without the shot meaning you can get covid without the shot, or you can have the shot and still get it. they need to allow freedom to ring and allow people to live their lives. as we mentioned earlier in the segment, people take chances for themselves. they want to go rock climbing, eat too much, it's up to them. allow those of us who want to live free to live free. >> there's not a one size fits all when it comes to covid-19, so things that we're also figuring out. great discussion, guys. coming up next, the olympics may be over now, but the effects from the tokyo games are actually going down in history for the wrong reasons. we break down the big ratings flop coming up next. ♪ get down on it, if you really want it -- ♪ get down on it, get down on it ♪♪ if

♪ this is the end, my only friend, the end. >> that's a good song. welcome back to "the big sunday show." so the tokyo olympics are officially over, but did anyone notice they were happening? the recent ratings compared to comparable dates from the 2016 games in rio are down significantly. numbers declining by as much as 42%. abby, i want to pull up this poll as well from monmouth university if we can get it on the screen there. so you've got 16% of americans had a lot of interest, but 43% had little interest, 41% had no interest at all. a total of 84% of people had little to no interest. we also saw that ratings declined as well so, clearly, americans have spoken here in the numbers. but were they heard? >> i think so, if you look at the numbers. i think that people are seeing these protests taking place,
2:28 pm
obviously, there are a lot of reasons probably for that ratings drop; covid-19, the lack of fans in the stands, but i also do think it has to do with these protests because i think some of these are pushing people away. i think why martin luther king jr. was so effective was because he inspired people through his actions. but when you kneel in front of the flag, when you turn your back, those aren't inspirational actions for other people. i can speak for probably the majority of people when i say that. but, you know, it bums me out for the other athletes who were in the olympics. maybe the people who were going for the first time, maybe the ones that just got their first gold medal, folks like tamyra mensah-stock, i loved representing the usa. that is why people watch the olympics. it's a bummer that some of those numbers went down because to olympics are really fun in other years, you know? >> well, and what's interesting about that is 51% of republicans
2:29 pm
cited politics as the reason they weren't watching, and etch dependents also had a problem -- independents also had a problem with the disrespect of the flag. abby just mention tamyra mensah-stock, we saw that imagery, this was someone who said i love america, she praised god as well. isn't it a sad reflection of america that someone who's like that who's so patriotic is an outlier rather than a norm? >> yeah, i would agree with that, but thank god for her. let's thank god that she thanked god and he understands where with her strength comes from which is her lord and savior, jesus christ, which is also mine. so i appreciate her sentiment. when it comes to woke, if i were to take you in the way back when machine within the black community, when this term was first mentioned before anybody knew about it in the media, it was indicative of being told by other black people to stay woke, do not capitulate to the norms exhibited in rap music, these
2:30 pm
cultural elements that are very destructive to the black community. that has changed now. that has changed greatly to the point that progressives -- [laughter] have really taken over the term, and now it means something complete arely and totally different to the point that none of our viewers would even have known about that history which was really positive at one particular point in time. so what we need to do as a country is continue to amplify the goodnessing of our country. and we've made a lot of progress. so let's continue to push that forward. >> that's a great point, my friend. and, trace, let's look at the medals. america did come out on on top here. >> yep. >> we've got 113 medals won -- >> usa! yeah, we beat china, we beat russia, we beat the bad guys, and the same thing for gold medals as well. 39 for the united states, 38 for china, just beat them. so there is a lot to celebrate as well, trace. america did come out on top. >> listen, i watched every night because i'm just stunned, and i
2:31 pm
am amazed at how talented and dedicated some of my fellow americans are, so i get it. and i also think that a lot of the athletes were very proud to be representing america. i do think the woke stuff is repel hasn't. i mean, it turns a lot of people off, and the ratings are proof properties of exactly that because the olympics are supposed to be a unifying event. we're supposed to watch together and cheer together as a country, and this stuff tends to divide people as we have seen in the nba, the nfl and now the olympics. people tune in to cheer on, and they feel like sometimes they're being a little bit divided on this thing. but, you know, as a journalist, look, i'm looking for all sides of the story. i want different opinions. i want different robust debate, and sometimes some of these athletes you see don't really want to tolerate -- they will tolerate everything except for a different political point of view. >> great point. great segment, guys. straight ahead, governor cuomo's accuser known as executive

2:37 pm
he broke the law. >> cbs news speaking with executive assistant number one. you could see when she gave, abby, her statement, she was a bit flustered, a bit nervous. she was very consistent, very concise on cbs, and she has been very a add plant that she was violated -- adamant. if the governor did what she says he did which is put his hand under her blouse, that's intent, and he's in big trouble. >> absolutely. i think this is a huge point in the column of the accusers and a lot of credit to her for coming out, because that is a lot of bravery to do. and we're kind of at this point once again wondering why doesn't he resign. if it was just one person coming out against him, that's enough. you should always, you know, you should believe the woman when she's sitting in front of you and saying this was a crime. if he did put his hand under her blouse, now saying that, it associates him with her face. and it's just a really sad thing.
2:38 pm
not just one accuser, but eleven. at some point you have to not look at this as a political thing for you, governor cuomo, and instead look at doing the right thing just like this awe accuser was saying in that interview. >> you look back at people like harvey weinstein, bill cosby, some of these cases, and the first accuser came out, and people were shocked. but when you get multitudes, when you start getting up to the dozen number, you know, it starts to look really bad, lisa. your thoughts on this. >> i think governor cuomo's a sociopath. this was someone who wrote a book with about his so-called covid leadership and made a ton of money at a time when he knew his policies were directly responsible for the deaths of thousands of seniors. i think if someone can do that, they are capable of anything. look, i'm not a believe all women person. i think people lie. i think we need to make sure individuals are credible, make sure their stories check out, but the attorney general's team interviewed 179 witnesses over five months and looked at something like 74,000 pieces of
2:39 pm
documents in evidence. they vetted this. they vetted these women's stories, so i depend them for stepping forward. that does take an incredible amount of courage, and i hope andrew cuomo bears the consequences of the internal decisions and actions that he made. >> you know, gianno, the truth is that the governor prior to this was a believe all accusers person. she said -- [laughter] >> yeah, right. >> -- the brett kavanaugh thing, he said the accusers should be believed. and now that he's on the other end of the prosecutorial stance, no, don't believe them, in fact, they're doing a disservice to genuine victims. >> yeah. and you know what's interesting to me is everyone is saying, hey, you have to believe all women, like joe biden said you have to believe all women in the past too, and i'm old enough to remember the 2020 election when he, joe biden, was accused by eight women of sexual harassment. one accused him of sexual
2:40 pm
