martha. >> martha: mark meredith, thank you very much, reporting from delaware this morning. us now is senator tim scott, the topper republican negotiator on police reform, senator, welcome back to "fox news sunday." >> senator scott: good morning, martha, thank you very much. >> martha: good morning, sir, good to see this morning. let's start with infrastructure, if i may. $1.2 trillion deal. it's something that always seems like the kind of thing that we should be able to push through, right? you got 59% of americans who say that they approve of doing an infrastructure deal, except last week, you know, senator schumer was trying to get the procedural votes through on all of this and your side was arguing that you didn't know what was in it. any more clarity on what is in this bill at this point, and how are you looking at it? >> senator scott: not at all. it's amazing when we have a vote in the senate on a procedural vote to move to a bill that you haven't seen. the days of actually having to pass it to know what's in it as to be over. that is not in america's best interest

over to martha. >> martha: let's to cover for you this afternoon. i'm martha maccallum in new york. so how about this? we could lose a showdown in the sea in the military with china. that is the reality. so the question is how did that happen? a shocking new report of in depth interviews with 77 current and recent members of all ranks in the u.s. navy reveals that in most cases we fall short because we don't focus on winning. the report finds an insufficient focus on war fighting. what other purpose is there for the united states military? a leadership that is distracted to bureaucratic excess. it was commissioned by these four lawmakers and includes stunning admissions with one senior leader saying i guarantee you every unit in the navy is up to speed on diversity training. i can't say the same about ship handling, this is from an active duty lieutenant. sometimes we care if we will have more diversity officers than a fight with the chinese navy. you can cut our ship open with a missile and we'll all bleed the same color. very serious moment here for the united states navy. general

. >> martha: thanks, john and jacqui. good afternoon. i'm martha maccallum. stunning new video of the brazen shooting that broke out in the heart of our nation's capitol. we just got the second angle on this video. happened a mile away from the white house. this is unbelievable. i mean, i watched this ten times today. this is playing out like i said, a mile from the white house. two suspects make their way to the get-away car. police looking for the two suspects. left two people wounded. moments ago, this man trying so hard to do his job and protect his city, the police chief in washington d.c., robert contee stood at the scene and made this impassioned for his community and major cities going through the same thing. watch this. >> i'm mad as hell about this. i home you are, too. i really do because i like coming to 14th street. i don't want to be afraid for my wife to go there because some knucklehead in the community decided to pull out a gun and fire it at 8:20 in the evening. it's unacceptable. i'm going to tell you the truth, the real issue is, we have a

gasparino >> martha: hello. great to see you both. i'm martha maccallum. breaking right now, the dow is on track for the worst single day drop this year. the biden economy take hits from surging inflation. one of the smaller aspects of what's going on. and this full effort to pass trillions in new spending at the same time. then you have the slate of the covid variant that has spooked the market. a lot of stocks related to opening having a tough time. we're watching this closely. the president took to the dining room at the white house and painted a rosy picture of what's going on before he took a total four minutes of questions from the press. watch. >> turns out capitalism is alive and well. record growth, record job creation. workers getting hard earned breaks. look, we've brought this economy back from the brink. >> martha: brought it back from the brink, says president biden. art laffer is here with us. working on this economy and advising our presidents of the united states. always good to see you today. at one point president biden said, you know, h

martha. >> martha: that's right. thanks, bryan. joining me now, geraldo rivera and roy murdock, a fox news contributor. thanks. great to have you with us this afternoon. i want to start by looking back. we talk about what has happened the last 18 months. what happened post george floyd essentially. when you had all of this movement to correct police officers and to stop bad behavior in police departments. that was the big thrust last spring and last summer. here's just some of the sound that we heard back then. watch. >> the police department here in minneapolis needs to be dismantled and we need to start anew. >> we have to bring clinicians to the street to bring solutions. >> too often in this country law enforcement uses unnecessary force resulting in the death of black and brown americans. >> martha: so geraldo, we are where we are because of those messages that we heard back then. >> i agree 100 percent, martha. the spend lump has swung the other way. now we're seeing the disgusting outrageous violence against helpless victims

martha? >> martha: joining me now, congressman tom cotton.osed a bill for schools that promote critical race theory and revisionist history as he says. good to see you today. it's interesting. remind me of the tea party movement and other things that have happened in the past. when you see these uprising at school board meetings across the country and town hall meetings, when parents speak out after they've had a close look what's being taught in their schools thanks to the covid learn at home program, you do see that democracy can work. people can push changes by their actions. >> martha, this is a small victory on behalf of sanity and racial equality in our country. 35,000 americans contacted the biden administration and said do not hijack a bipartisan civics program to try to advocate for critical race theory. the idea that some races are inherently oppressive and our founding documents are racist, that's not what americans believe. americans want a country that is color blind and ascribe to what dr. martin luther king said. that we should

martha? >> martha: no doubt. thanks, david.l immunity after contracting covid in march. he's staunchly argued that vaccination is up to individuals, not up to the government. kentucky senator rand paul joins me. what do you make of this latest push by -- i know year a big fan of olivia rodriguez, right? oh, boy, she's my favorite what did you think about it? >> if you want to give vaccine hesita hesitancy, it's good to be honest. over 65, without question, the risks from the disease are higher than the vaccine. so 80% of people over 65 have taken it. if i were a doctor giving you persuasive advice, i'd say take it if you're over 65. i'd say if you're over 40, overweight or maybe over 30 and overweight. weight is big risk factor for this. under 25, it's a little different standard. i think we should study who the vaccine has any side effects in people who have already had the disease. so if you're 12 years old and the chances of you getting sick and hospitalized or dieing from covid is about one in a million, shouldn't we at lea

martha? >> martha: thanks, gerri. said these plans from the white house and the fed will long to long-term economic decline. joining me to explain, larry kudlow and served as a top economic adviser to president trump. good to see you. we played a question that went to jen psaki in the white house press room that was very pointed. it said, you know, do you expect people to wait or what are they supposed to do that prices are rising? here's her answer. >> certainly not what i've said. but i will say our message is that we understand the threat that inflation poses. we will be vigilant about any responses needed. it's important for americans to know about understand that these impacts are temporary and some of the price increases are as a result of the economy turning back on. >> martha: are they temporary, larry? what's going on? >> the thing is -- gerri willis is right. a lot of the spikes in the cpi is coming from post pandemic economic recovery shortages, especially of chips, used car prices are absolutely soaring. y

martha? >> martha: thanks, lucas.ane, the former chief of staff of the african american, and a fox news senior strategic analyst. very good to have you with us. this is interesting. the press conference. the press conference we saw by the defense secretary, it appears that they knew they would get some questions on this issue of woke training to the extent that it does or does not exist. what did you think of their answers and their willingness to engage on it? >> the secretary of defense has been clear on this during testimony and also at the press conference today. you know, it's not going to be a part of the united states military. we're not going to teach you, we're not going to embrace it or support it. there's no policy advocating that and that implies that if it's going on someplace, he expects his commanders to knock it off. it's that simple. and anybody that has been around the military for any bit of time knows full well that for the military to be effective on the battlefield, to advance into enemy fire, de

martha? >> martha: thanks, chad.ng action that could have made that case public during the presidential campaign period running up to it. politco reporting that the u.s. attorney decided not to get search warrants or send out subpoenas last summer a couple months before the presidential race. hunter biden revealed the investigation into his taxes. it was public december 9. that is after his dad won the race saying that he just learned about the investigation. let's bring in jonathan turley, fox news contributor. jonathan, obviously we followed this closely when this news broke about the investigation into the hunter biden taxes, the laptop story was suppressed in a number of ways. now this information that david weiss, the delaware state attorney on that job maybe could have acted sooner what do you think about this? >> well, there's a department of justice rule that encourages u.s. attorneys to not take actions that could influence an upcoming election. it's a wide berth that was given to this particular issue. many

martha? >> martha: and fewer police officers on the streets to manage it and deal with these situations, mike. thanks very much. mike tobin. want to bring in civil rights attorney and fox news contributor, leo terrell. great to have you with us this afternoon on this friday as we head into a busy fourth of july weekend. i want to play this. lori lightfoot has been criticized on a number of fronts. the most crucial is the management of crime. other things have been related to her saying she only wanted to be interviewed by reporters of color. i just want to play this for you, this back and forth with a reporter. here's the whole thing. i want your thoughts on this. let's watch. >> recent months, there's questions raised about your temperament and your reaction to criticism. how much of this do you think might have to do with the fact that you're a woman and specifically a black woman? >> about 99% of it. women and people of color are always held to different standards. i understand that. i've

. >> john: i'm john >> martha: thanks very much.i'm martha maccallum. me details of reported hunter arranged business deal involving his father. this time with mexican executives appearing in this 2015 picture that appears to be taken at the vice president's residence, the naval observatory and reporting by the daily mail. the images of the bidens getting not very much attention today. instead, the story you've been watching unfolding live. we have continuing coverage now, which is this focus on the trump organization and their company's cfo that plead not guilty. there he is. the charges failing to pay taxes on certain perks and benefits that he received as a trump ploy eye. they do not involve these charges any member of the trump families that is involved in the business or the former president himself. so that is the charge that i just described. we'll get into it in more detail. that's the charge they came up with after three years of digging, which appears to have emboldened the trump team when they look at the way this sorted out in court. this i

martha: all right.eral, as a democrat, when you look at this period of time with control over the white house, the house and the senate, are you disappointed with what you've been able to get done so far? >> well, i actually think the american rescue plan that ended up providing, for example, the middle class tax cut for every family that makes less than 150 grand that's got children with the child tax credit, i think that makes sense. i think the dollars that have gone to state and local government to shore those up, who lost revenues during covid makes sense and in a state like mine, i was a telecom guy, i'm proud, i worked with my governor, we're going to make sure that every household in virginia has high speed broadband by 2024. that would only happen because of the american rescue plan. i frankly think, and i would hope, every state would do that same kind of plan because if you don't have broadband going forward, your chance for an economic future is not going to be bright. martha: do you think t

"the story" with martha maccallum starts right now. >> martha: good afternoon. i'm martha maccallum in new york. as crime rises in cities across the nation, this mother made the only decision she could to save her family. >> i'm getting out of here today. i have to leave chicago. i love the city but i can't stay anymore. >> that is the mother of terry anna smith. a newborn who was caught in the cross fire. the infant survived but has a bullet lodged in her skull. the city that they loved her mother says is no longer safe for them and their family. last night alone, three mass shootings. 18 people were shot. many teenagers including a 14-year-old boy. he lost his life as well. hours before, eight people riding in a party bus were also shot in a drive-by. obviously this is a situation that needs solutions. the white house after originally saying that crime spikes tended to happen in the summer, now it's clear that action must be taken. today the attorney general in chicago is taking part in a listening session on how to cut down on the number of guns on the street

>> martha: yes. yes, martha. this new data that the cdc is putting out matches exactly what i'm seeing with my patients. i'm having a small number of patients as dr. walensky said fully vaccinated have tested positive. very, very few of them have to be hospitalized. but their symptoms were not just mild. some of them had bad headaches, cough, developed pneumonia. very few had to be hospitalized. so it's important, the best thing to do, get the vaccine. the delta variant is a lot more contagious. it has a high reproducibility index, which means one person can spread the virus to up to eight other people in seconds. so even though the vaccine is not 100% protective, can it do you the trick to keep you out of the hospital. that is critical. >> martha: all right. we're listening to questions. we'll be back with marc in a second. >> the difference is that in those cases, those rare cases that we have break through infections, we felt it important for people to understand that they have the potential to transmit virus

hi, phil. >> hi, martha. that the rains stopped and the sun is back out, more cuban americans have shown up here at cafe versilles where demonstrations always take place. a lot of people are driving but. the few dozen people have gathered here, as you can hear, honking their horns to support. last night right here, it was a lot more crowded. people showing solidarity with their people on the island of cuba. about 1,000 people protested in cities on the caribbean island. the largest defy of the government there in decades. in cuba, this kind of behavior can get you in to jail. these people have had enough of long-time foot shortages and a horrible economic situation, which has lasted for decades. they called for government change blaming it also for a dismal coronavirus response. the white house released this statement this morning. the cuban people have bravely asserted universal rights. the united states calls on the cuban regime to hear their people and serve their needs at this vital moment rather than enr

martha. >> martha: interesting. hillary, thank you very much. >> the administration tries to figure out the root causes of migration to the country, don't we know that people want to leave cuba because they don't like communism. do you think people are leaving cuba because they don't like communism >> bill: peter doocy pressing jen psaki whether socialist policies blamed for the crisis in havana. we'll play her response coming up. >> martha: republicans accusing hunter biden of profiting off his father's presidency and seeking dock frments the white house. we'll tell you what they are looking for. >> bill: britney spears legal victory. is it short term or not in her battle in court? that's coming up. veteran homeowners, newday's rates have dropped again. it's time to refinance. newday's low rate refi offers their lowest rate in history. two and a quarter percent. just 2.48 apr. save thousands every year and there are no upfront costs. not one dollar. the newday low rate refi. take advantage of these record low rates

they write the tax code. >> martha: exactly. >> jesse: they are the ones riding it. >> martha: that'she right. if he thinks that they should pay more, that should be his 100% effort that he makes every single day to making sure that that happens. i have no problem with jeff bezos spending his money anyway that he wants. he comes from a long history of very wealthy people in this country who had a lot of innovative, carnegie and the railroad. he invented all kinds of good stuff. but you know, rockefeller, the national parks. it's like, this is, he can do this. he could do this for $206 billion and he can also give away billions and billions and billions of dollars and never feel 1 penny here i'll tell you what bothers me today. the cowboy hat thing was so embarrassing. i get it, but i'm thinking to myself it's named after alan shepard. can you imagine neil armstrong wearing a cowboy hat. did you see the part where he said, "mom, are you out there?" he brought it into space and he said, "mom, i wore this to space and i want you to have it." could you imagine neil armstrong doing that? >

martha, they say there's no conversations about art.nter is meeting the buyers but will have no conversations about art. remind me of them saying joe biden had no conversations with hunter's business partners except we know he went to a dinner and an e-mail from hunter saying dad will be there but keep that between us for now. >> martha: yeah, maybe the president doesn't have a blind spot for his son. i can't figure out why he picks high profile jobs to make money. a lot of things that he could do that would be under the radar. i can't help but think that he's very lucky because he's overpaid for his experience level and and energy level in burisma. now these numbers are astronomical for anybody in the art world for anybody having their first show. my thought would be the way they should have done it was that nobody would know who painted them. not nobody would know who is buying them. but what would these paintings be going for if anybody knew who painted them? why don't they say hunter, we love the fact you want to paint but you can't

martha? >> reporter: david, the president says the combat mission will end in iraq at the end of the year, but the u.s. has not really been involved in combat in iraq for more than a year, because this was already largely a train and assis mist. so, this is really just semantics. what the white house announcement actually tells us is that unlike afghanistan, the u.s. is not pulling out of iraq entirely, with one senior official telling me that the number of u.s. forces in iraq the same by the end of the year. david? >> all right, martha raddatz with us live tonight. martha, thank you. >>> now, to team usa in tokyo. the american swimmer tossing his gold medal to a teammate in the stands. heartbreak for katie ledecky, but still a medal. gymnast simone biles and what she revealed today. and the british swimmer winning gold and the powerful message to children who have ever felt alone. james longman in tokyo tonight. >> reporter: tonight, team usa coming back after a rocky start. >> reporter: ton

do you feel comfortable about that when it comes to the kids and martha?ublic have a right to know how their health secretary has been behaving versus the right to privacy of his family. i felt strongly — and i think everybody�*s agreed with me — the lord chiefjustice, the justice secretary, the lord chancellor have all agreeed that the story was in the public interest. so, that's what you weigh up on a daily basis on stories. yeah, of course. let's broaden the discussion a little bit. tobyn, the mail turns a century—and—a—quarter old this year. sum up its role in public life, if you could — particularly in the digital age. well, i think fundamentally its role | is to give a voice to the voiceless, | to campaign vigorously. for the causes and beliefs that lie at its heart, and, - fundamentally, to entertain, engage, inform its readers, and, of course, above all, i try and sell as many - newspapers as we can — or attract as many eyeballs as we can online — - whilst sticking to ourjournalistic integrity, our beliefs, _ and the passion would try and bring to

martha, you and i have talked about this before already. when i interviewed general miller before the pandemic, when he had just started his command in afghanistan, he said that ending this war would require a political solution. but obviously, given the pictures we've just witnessed today, what you witnessed on the ground in afghanistan and what general miller told you, there's clearly no political solution in place. >> reporter: there is none, but miller is following orders to withdraw all troops, even though he told me he doesn't really think the taliban has changed much in the last 20 years, david. >> martha raddatz, we know you'll stay on it. thank you, martha. >>> back here at home now and to the coronavirus here in the u.s. and the situation inside one american hospital, the alarming scene. worse than what they saw over the winter and they're not alone. we learned just before we came on the air tonight that the delta variant is now estimated to be the predominant strain of the virus here in this country. the cdc reporting tonight mor

let's bring in martha raddatz and, martha, general miller was there in the beginning of the war nearly 20 years ago when we went into afghanistan because of the threat to the homeland after 9/11. how much does he still worry about that possibility? >> reporter: well, whit, he still has serious concerns about that. he said al qaeda is still in afghanistan, and the threat to the u.s. remains. whit. >> important reminders, martha raddatz for us, thank you. >>> and back here at home tonight, new signs that the u.s. economy is on the mend. employers added 850,000 jobs in june, the most in ten months, unemployment ticking up slightly because more people were looking for jobs. wages were up 3.6% from a year ago as employers competed for workers and the areas doing the most hiring, leisure and hospitality, professional and business services, education and retail. >>> next with the fourth of july just two days away president biden declaring we have covid on the run, but the u.s. is falling short of his goal to have 70% of adults receiving at least one dose of the vaccine. tonight 172 million pe

martha raddatz is just back from afghanistan where she flew with the u.s. commander on his last helicopter ride out of bagram. and what he said he's concerned about when the u.s. is gone. >>> reporter: it was clear when we visited bagram airfield last week that u.s. and coalition forces would all soon depart. general scott miller, circling the 14-square-mile base, the fighter jets gone and heavy uip. and on the ground, only a few dozen troops in sight. once the order for withdrawal of all troops came, this became one of the largest and fastest movements of equipment since world war ii. outside the gates today, only afghan forces remain, a force already facing dire circumstances as the taliban sweeps through the country. with some in the intelligence community predicting the government here could fall in as little as six months. but president biden today tried to brush aside those concerns. >> i met with the afghan government here in the white house, in the oval. i think they have the capacity to be able to sustain the government. >> reporter: mr. president,

>> thanks, martha. what we are seeing in l.a. county is concerning. unfortunately we are seeing rises among the unvaccinated in many parts of the country now and especially given the delta variant. what the cdc did of its guidance and closer to two months ago now is based on the science, your risk of getting ---------- where there are a low number of vaccinated people over cases that are rising. it is reasonable for counties to take more mitigation measures like the mask rules coming out in l.a. should also be that for individuals depending on their circumstances that some people may choose to continue wearing masks such as those who may be immune compromised or family members at home who are unvaccinated. people can make these decisions, counties certainly have the right to put the measures back in place. that's not contradictory to the guidance. >> this is a >> the vaccine we have is h vacv effective in preventing symptomatic infection. they're not 100% perfect, novak seen novak -- no vaccine. those numbers will be small. we vaccinated millions of m

the next is from martha lake maine, go ahead martha hi peter.miss part of the program so i hope i'm not repeating a question from someone else from professor gordon reed. i am a retired maryland public school teacher. i am very upset about the controversial 1619 project and the pulitzer organization offering $5000 to underpaid school teachers to teach, whatever that is supposed to be. i am really quite about it. i would like her knowledge or her opinion please. >> host: thank you martha. >> guest: another is a controversial subject for people. i do not know about paying pbyte don't i think about that program or what she is referring to. i think it is a point of discussion. it is a point when i have read is a number of essays it is a lead essay is the one that cause problems for a number of people. the other side is problematic for one reason or another. i think it should be discussed. i think there are other parts of it i think be very illuminating to students and they could be useful i don't think as we were talking before forget the alamo and

>> reporter: good morning, martha. well, forecasters have predicted a strong rebound around the re-opening. the key question was what fundamental damage would the pandemic leave behind? how many businesses would go out of business, how many consumers would suffer as a result of the pandemic? many businesses are still operating. many consumers are not having to file for bankruptcy, not being able to pay their bills. consumers are sitting on a trillion dollars in cash as a result of not spending a lot during the pandemic, also the multiple rounds of stimulus checks. that's a lot of buying power, which is good news for the economy. the key question is now not are the jobs there, is it are the workers there to take them? of the 22 million jobs lost during the pandemic, about 16 million, fewer than 16 million people, have gone back to work. the key question for the economy is how long is it going to take to bring all of those people back into the workforce and into jobs? >> rebecca, many companies are still dealing with sup

senator martha mcsally to office. you and who? raise your hand if you think not just trump but martha mcsally is going to be returned trifantly to washington because whatever the guy from cyber ninjas is going to say? raise your hand. now, i can see all of you through the tv screen because i am "q" and as "q" i have the power to see backwards through cameras, so i can see a few of you have your hands up right now. very few of you actually think trump and martha mcsally will be reinstated by this process of pro-trump republicans trashing voting equipment and spewing conspiracy theories. i can see you don't believe it many of you. but enough die-hard trump supporters do believe it to make this a very lucrative gig. the arizona republic reports tonight that one of the republican state senators in arizona who's been promoting the audit thing in arizona all along, he's now selling t-shirts promoting his cause. the cost of his t-shirts, it's a sliding scale by size. they're $35 to $45 for a t-shirt. wow, order yours today. it's $35 for

she thought it was going to be dance as a martha graham dancer because that's what -- that was her love and so she was like, oh, my goodness, i'm going to be a famous martha graham dancer and that's how i'm going to dance for kings and queens. little did she ever know that this was what happened. >> we had -- i want to thank john in louisiana for his question which you also answered about the moment when richard nixon resigned. let's move on to this one about mrs. ford's involvement with the era. edina asks your mother was portrayed in this week's episode of mrs. america on hulu, that's the story about the women's movement and phillip schaply. what do you remember about your mother's role in -- was there any reluctance to get involved in this or did she just dive in? >> no, she really dove in. she did her research. i'm not going to say she didn't do her research and the pros and cons to stepping out. i have not seen the hulu show yet so i can't speak about that, but let's remember, ann, you know she wanted a female on his cabinet and she got carla hills who did a fabulous job. she would

i spoke with martha zepeda, and her older daughter, ceci, who didn't want to show their faces. cc translated for me what her mother said happened. >> she was basically saying that he wants, knocked at the door, he tried to open the door, then peeking through the windows, trying to see, and he was trying his private parts. >> reporter: cc also translated for me that her father then warned the man, who the stanislaus county sheriff's office is identifying as daniel diaz, a registered sex offender, to leave or else. she says he apparently didn't leave but went around to the other side of the house, and that's when her father heard the man come through the window of his little girl's room. >> the man turned on the lights and at that point my sister woke up and she got scared. >> reporter: this older sister says she screamed for her husband and her father tackled him and pulled him out of the house. the camera captured outside and cc's father pinned him down, and you can hear him duck taping diaz to restrain them as they called 911. >> i was pretty scared because i thought the man h

you heard a stanford doctor talking to martha at 3:00 eastern time. it seems to be a concern among doctors that i have heard from so far since this new guidance was announced that one of their major concerns is telling vaccinated americans to remask up, that that could be a disincentive for those unvaccinated to then want to go get vaccinated. if they don't see that that means that they can remove the mask, perhaps that leads to less people getting the vax. >> yeah, we have to put things in context. i'd love it more people on a bicycle wore a helmet or people stopped smoking. when it comes to those fully vaccinated, less less than 900 deaths out of those fully vaccinated out of 161 million people fully vaccinated in the united states. so your risk of dying once fully vaccinated is so rare it parallels other rare causes of death. we think most of those deaths are people with a special pre-existing condition. where i had an issue in the k-12 group. if they're vaccinated, you're talking about inefficient modalities in kids. that's where there's no data t
