Mr. Floyd lived, not how he died. It follows memorials in minneapolis in mr. Floyds order. It also wraps up a week of mostly peaceful protests across the country and around the world with hundreds of thousands of people taking to the streets to demand justice, equality and reform in the wake of mr. Floyds death. Right now, Jonathan Serrie is live in raeford, North Carolina with the scene there. Jonathan. Reporter hi, arthel. Behind me, you can see family members and Close Friends filing in to the relatively small church in raeford for what is going to be a private memorial. But earlier in the day there was a public visitation and thousands of people showed up to pay their respects. The public viewing drew people not only from North Carolina, but other states, people of different races and all ages, but they were united in this feeling that it was simply important to be here. Take a listen. This is all together different. Its almost like a paradigm shift in protesting and standing for justice because of the phenomenon that it is throughout the world, other nations, not just here. Reporter so so many people attending the public viewing. Right now, George Floyds family preparing for this private Memorial Service at the church in raeford, small town near fayetteville where mr. Floyd was born. On thursday, a memorial took place in minneapolis. A monday viewing and tuesday memorial are scheduled for houston, texas and the significance of that location is that is where mr. Floyd grew up. Here in raeford, the sheriff has asked people not to protest, saying instead the memorial is about the life that mr. George floyd lived and this is the time to embrace the family with expressions of love and kindness and, arthel, weve seen people honor that. What were seeing is thousands of people show up to express their love for the family and really a sense of optimism that some lasting change is going to come out of this event. Back to you. Arthel jonathan, i know that terrence floyd, the brother of mr. George floyd, when he arrived at that site where his brother took his last breath in minneapolis, he said to the protesters, lets do this in peace and do this in the name of my brother. He said you take your voice to the voting booth not just for justice but for reform that is needed. Wondering if huh a chance wondering if huh if you had a o speak any of the people who wanted to show up to see mr. Floyd for the last time, even if it is in a casket. Reporter i havent spoken to any family members yet. I did speak to folks who showed up here for the public viewing and they really are united in the sense that this was important to be here and not just to express 130ur support fe family but even strangers who had no connection to the family or no connection to this area, people coming from other states, as far away as georgia, because they have a sense that even though weve seen so many of these tragedies, where theres outrage, where theres protests, only to die down and nothings done, they feel theres something about this that is different, that this event so shocked america that it really broke down some walls and that mainstream america is going to try and make some changes and heal some of these very deep wounds that have existed in this society for hundreds of years, arthel. Arthel yeah, jonathan, that seems to be the consensus among many people of various walks of life, that this is a pivotal time in our nation and that people as horrific as what led to this, the event that led to this, the killing of mr. Floyd, it does feel that the time is now, that that is going to lead to some change. A lot of hard work ahead but it does feel like it will lead to change. Jonathan, i know youll be there and throughout the service, we will be here throughout the service, we will have that live for you here on Fox News Channel when it does begin. In the meantime, eric, im going to send it over to you. Jonathan, thank you. Eric thank you, arthel. Protests are back out on the streets across the country, calling for that change. Demonstrators pouring into the nations capitol, the police chief in washington, d. C. Says todays protests there could be one of the largest in the citys history. Lucas tomlinson is live near the white house with the latest on that part of the coverage. Lucas. Reporter good afternoon, eric. Thousands of Peaceful Protesters have descended on Lafayette Square next to the white house, so far all the protester versus been peaceful. In fact, its been so peaceful that d. C. s mayor Muriel Bowser says because its been so peaceful, she wants the u. S. Military to go home. We dont think that soldiers should be in the Nations Capital, patrolling or policing streets. We made that formal request to the white house. We have no desire to have any soldier out on the street. But d. C. Residents cant pay their bills. Reporter defense secretary mark esper ordered all active Duty Military Police outside d. C. To return home to fort bragg and fort drum. He ordered the National Guard troops in the u. S. Capitol to disarm. Weve not seen a Large Police Presence or military presence here. The guard troops are a few blocks away and are not wearing helmets, face coverings, a much more relaxed atmosphere and more relaxed social distancing. Nationwide, over 40,000 National Guard troops have been mobilized, more than doubled in the past four days. Thousands of protesters continue to pour in, many arriveing from the Lincoln Memorial a short time ago. D. C. s mayor hopes the protests remain peaceful. Leland it appears that a lot of them are wearing their masks because of the coronavirus. Thanks, lucas. Arthel. Arthel eric, thank you. Protests continue in minneapolis, ground zero for the movement sparked by the death of mr. George floyd in police custody. It is a calm scene there today and it comes as the City Council Makes changes in how the Police Department can operate. Lets go to matt finn, live in minneapolis with the latest. Matt. Reporter this is the location where george floyd died and weve been in minneapolis for more than a week now and this intersection has remained very peaceful. We witnessed day after day of public gatherings as you see right now, people paying their respects and leaving flowers and momentos behind for george floyd and we have also seen Peaceful Demonstrations here, prayer circles. This has really become sacred ground. It is entirely blocked off in every direction. Neighbors are protecting it. There are roadblocks up. And this will ultimately become a historical site, one of tragedy but an area that is being very much respected and there are signs everywhere, asking people to pay their respects, to be respectful towards this location and there is a ton of free food in the area, neighbors are dropping off food for people who are struggling right now, theres a cookout going on, there are flowers. So a joyous location right now but also a very somber and sacred, arthel. Arthel and thats how this works, you know. The emotions its like an emotional roller coaster. It goes from shock and despair and stress, very stressful and then it turns into a bit of anger and its okay that people are angry too, not to take it into a violent direction of course, but to express how you feel and then it goes to a joyous occasion in a sense, that you celebrate this mans life and thats what you see behind you right now. Meanwhile, i want you to tell us about the City Council Ban on choke holds there. Reporter yes, yesterday the Minneapolis City Council held an emergency meeting where they passed new reform on police, immediate reform. Police officers are no longer allowed to use choke holds in the city, not allowed to use neck restraints and are required to immediately intervene if they see another officer using a choke hold like we saw in the george floyd video and theyre required to immediately report it, arthel. Arthel and then also before you go, matt, if you could, talk to us about the reaction to City Council Members who called to disband the Police Department. Reporter yes. Well, at least three City Council Members including the president of the Minneapolis City Council have now banded together, saying theyre going to dismantle the Police Department and defund it. They would like to use more city resources, calling 311 instead of 911 and across the city we see posters, we see spray painting, we see a strong sendment supporting the minneapolis Police Department being disbanded as we know it in favor for what some City Council Members call an entire reconstruction and so yesterday during that emergency meeting, obviously some of those of Council Members got together and thought that perhaps the immediate reform would kind of pave the way towards this dismemberment of the Police Department but the mayor has said he will not sign off on taking the Police Department apart. Rather, he says he is committed to true and substantial reform of systemic racism, arthel. Arthel matt, before i go, i want to point out what youre seeing, what were seeing behind you, its a sense of community. You have people showing up from various parts of the city, bringing food, bringing water, you know, again, this is in yourisinnourishment for the sou. If you could tell us what you see in that regard. Reporter we have a large cookout going on right now, all types of food and there are lots of canned goods around, supplies like baby diapers, lots of those things being dropped off and you see mothers coming and you see people coming who are probably in need from the pandemic, who are probably hurting just in general in this city. Like you said, right now this is more of a celebration of life for george floyd. This is one of the more jo just afternoons jo jus joyous aft. Right now, the community is gathering together. Weve noticed all week a ton of di sers adiversity, people froms of life are coming to this intersection to pay respect to george floyd. There is a growing memorial, more flowers than you can count, people leaving behind posters. Right now people are filling out posters and mementos. George floyd is being heavily remembered here and his name is plastered all across this intersection and it seems like the local government, the City Government is giving people this Community Free rein to do what they want with this space. There are large roadblocks. Theres no traffic coming in and out. If you place a flour down, it stay theres flower down, it stays there. If you paint a mural, its staying there. People have the liberty and ability to come here and pay their respects in any fashion they want for george floyd, arthel. Arthel matt finn, thank you very much. Eric, ill toss it over to you. Eric thanks, matt and arthel. There are calls across the nation from some who want to disband or cut the budgets of local Police Departments, its a very controversial idea. We heard matt talk about that in minneapolis. Well be hearing more across abt across the nation later. Right now, we are awaiting the start of George Floyds Memorial Service, this one for friends and family in North Carolina, where he was born. Well bring it to you live as soon as it gets underway. The cities that we have reports from, theyre not the only ones feeling the im papght o impf floyds death. The protests have spread coast to coast and also overseas.

Arthel nearly two weeks after the death of mr. George floyd, protests continue throughout the country and around the world. In new york, an 8 00 p. M. Curfew is still in effect, even though thousands have defied it to take their voices to the streets. In los angeles, a lawsuit has been filed against the city alleging Excessive Force in violation of civil rights. Protests also taking place overseas. Christina coleman is standing by in los angeles. Benjamin hall is in london. We begin with jackie heinrich, shes in new york city. Jacqui. Reporter arthel, there are about a dozen demonstrations happening in all of the different boroughs today. The biggest one right now is happening at this moment, theres a group marching across the Brooklyn Bridge into manhattan. Were at the Barclays Center where the group started earlier. Theres another gathering planned in a couple hours. Today the protests have been peaceful. Last night, also largely peaceful. There were only 40 arrests in the city yesterday. And thats pretty significant given how things were shaking out over the nights previous to that. The biggest news out of new york this morning is the two officers in buffalo were charged with assault after they were seen pushing a 75yearold protester on thursday in buffalo. The officers Robert Mccabe and aaron targalski, facing up to seven years in prison if convicted. The governor applauded the buffalo mayor and the local da, saying he thought what he saw in the video was criminal, horrendous and disgusting and he believed to be illegal. A group of 57 Buffalo Emergency Response Team resigned in outrage over the two officers suspension without pay. That has caused a little bit of unrest within the Police Department. But back to the protests, the das in brooklyn, manhattan and the bronx said they do not plan to prosecute any protesters who are charged with low level offenses. As most of these protests have been peaceful. I was speaking to one of the organizer whose said you have been encouraging people to continue demonstrating for how long . Weve been doing this for a week. What is the message and at what point does the message get across. People keep asking when its going toen. The question should be what policies will we enacted t enace people feel safe in the community. This could be for the people. Im leading a demonstration from Barclays Center at 6 00 p. M. To city hall. Thats the first stop. We are hope de blasio and cuomo come out of and talk to us and give the youth some direction. If they dont, the next stop is the diamond district. Were giving them a chance right now to do the right thing. My name is ace burns, 2020. Reporter appreciate it. Theyre not going to be stopping until they see the policies they want in place, not just rhetoric about reform but actual policy changes that make people feel like this has not all been for nothing. Arthel. Arthel its raining here in new york, im not sure if its raining right now in brooklyn but in the city its raining and i know jacqui, from brooklyn to manhattan, john batiste is doing a march for music. He says as a musician, he has a gift to change through music and hes taking that voice, his musical voice and message to the streets of manhattan as well. So people are out and about, letting their voices be heard. Jacqui heinrich, thank you. Eric. Eric first i want to respond to something we heard from the protester, he said theyre being marched out of city hall and he said if Governor Cuomo and mayor de blasio arent reacting theyll go to the diamond district on 47th street in manhattan and he said thanks to President Trump gasoline is cheap, those are outrageous words to say basically that person was basically suggesting that they plan to go to the diamond district, which is run basically by o Orthodox Jews in new york city, certainly hope that is not the case and we do not endorse or in fact we condemn that type of language here on the Fox News Channel. Someone saying that certainly should be called out in terms of any type of potential threat of any sort that we just heard live from someone who is interviewed here on this channel. Meanwhile, in los angeles, mayor Eric Garcetti is proposing steep cuts to the citys Police Department budget, this comes at the lapd and the chief are hit with a federal lawsuit alleging they violated the civil rights of protesters. Christina coleman is live in los angeles with more on that. Christina. Reporter well, hi, eric. Right now, more than 1,000 Peaceful Protesters are gathered here on the campus of usc, calling for justice and some of them calling for the defunding of the los angeles Police Department, something mayor Eric Garcetti says he supports, even though the local Police Union Says it could result in less patrols on the street and more crime. The mayor is proposing 25 250 million of budgets cuts to city departments including 150 million in cuts to the Police Department to invest in jobs, health and education. Take a listen. Those dollars need to be focused on our black communities here in los angeles. As well as communities of color and women and people who have been left behind for too long. And will this involve cuts . Yes, of course. To every department including the Police Department. Reporter as protesters call for Additional Police reforms, the Los Angeles Police protective league voiced a mounting frustration with mayor Eric Garcetti. The union called him unstable and accused of political pandering when he used the words killer when discussing the proposed funding cuts to the Police Department. As the mayor and the Union Continue to clash over these proposed cuts to the Police Department, you can see thousands of people are out here protesting against systematic inequality, Police Brutality, theyre calling for justice, calling for Police Reform and theyre continuing to do that throughout the day. This is one of at least three peaceful protests that are scheduled to take place here in the los angeles area, just one, and this has been going on for hours now. Well have to wait and see what all happens. Eric. Eric all right, christina, thanks so much. Arthel. Arthel im really glad you called out that guy who made those horrible statements during jacqui heinrichs during her live shot. I was communicating with producers, did not hear it. Im glad you called this out. The Memorial Service for mr. George floyd has begun in raeford, North Carolina and right now we want to take you inside. Let us praise the lord. The lord is present in this season of hope. Let us praise ye the lord. Bow your heads for a moment of invocation. After this invocation, well have the ministry of the Lewis Chapel Missionary Baptist Church in fayetteville, North Carolina. Were share a song, a song of total praise.

I am very honored to stand here today to read out of the Old Testament and i hope that these words will not just be something that we hear but it will edify and be received in our hearts. Psalms 23. The lord is my shepherd. Hes not becoming my shepherd. He is right now in the present my shepherd. I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside the still waters. He restores, he refreshes our soul. He leads us in the path of rye righteousness for his names sake. Yeah, though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death, notice it says im not camming out in the valley camping out in the valley. He said im going to walk through, im going to march through, im going to advance through. Im not going to stop. And with god being his shepherd, nobody can stop him walking through. I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemy and a table is for family. And a table is for conversation. And a table is for us together as family, not to disengage after the meal is over, but to continue to have conversation and continue to talk. You anoint my head with oil, only the anointing of god can carry us through this. My cup runs over. Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me. That means to relentless pursue without any idea of giving up. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and i will dwell in the house of the lord forever. God bless you. Im honored to be here today. I want to share out of the new testament, turn to first corinthians, chapter 15, verse 50 to verse 57. Paul is reminding the church, an eternal idea, to set your perspective to things eternal. He says what im saying, dear brothers and sisters, is our physical bodies cannot inherit the kingdom of god. These bodies cannot inherit what will last forever. Let me reveal to you a secret. We will not all die but we all will be transformed. It will happen in a moment and a blink of an eye when the last trumpet is blown for when the trumpet sounds, those who have not died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be transformed for our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die. Our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies. When our dying bodies have been transformed into bodies that will never die the scripture will be fulfilled when it says death is swallowed up in victory. Oh, death, where is your victory. Oh, death, where is your sting. For sin is the sting that results in death and the law gives sin its power but thank god, thank god he gives us victory over sin and death through our lord, christ jesus. Amen. [ applause ] come on, lets give god some glory in this place. [ applause ] let us go now to the throne of grace. And if you dont have anything to pray about, then please pray for me. Amen. Oh, god, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, our shelter from the stormy past, and now eternal calm. God of abraham, isaac and jacob, god of emmett till, breonna taylor, eric gordon and brother floyd, we come now, father, a few of your children, gathered together in the midst of these cons cratecrated walls and we cd the anointing that makes praying easy.

And so i can only imagine what the service will be like in houston. Just the love that is shown is definitely something thats special. Arthel yeah. And i know that, as youre talking about, that service is happening this tuesday there in houston. Meanwhile, i want to talk about what you did for your friend. You brought together some 60,000 people to the streets of houston to march in peace to honor the life of your friend. And you brought out the biggest of the big names in town. You had mayor turner, you had congresswoman Sheila Jackson lee. Talk to me about why you wanted to do that and the importance from your perspective of why the entire community has to be behind this next move in this movement. Well, because its just the beginning phases of a fight that we are about to have. Its going to be a long fight. But what happened was we were in minnesota with steven jackson, tameka mallory, jamie foxx and, you know, i just witnessed how quickly and how dominant minnesota stood up for george. And what was happening when i got back, we were trying to show up and support every protest and just the cause. And we went to one that sunday, and i was like, well, why dont we do something for the family. Because a lot of us are expressing our hurt and pain, but with we havent actually allowed the world to hear the family or see how they feel. And i ended up talking to them on social media, and he was like, man, lets go. And a day and a half later we had almost 70,000 people that were at the event with the family, man. And arthel and, trey, how did that a make you feel when you saw that . Yeah, you know, this is about listen, you are clearly a community organizer, and i, what i know about you from people who know you directly, that you are not going to rest until you get social is justice. Social justice. So i know this is not about a march, this is about a movement. And i want to hear your plan, your plan of action as you strive to attain social justice and equality. What do you do next . How do you take this from the streets to the boardrooms to the places where decisions are made . My plan is basically accountability. You know . You have not just and i want to make it very clear its not just about houston, texas, its across the world. Social medias showing us a different, a different side of the world. You know, a lot of us seen it and experienced it, but the rest of the world never seen it. And now its showing we have to let people know we stand for something. So past the marching and past even with the charges that were drawn up on the officers, theres a lot of Police Brutality throughout the world. And i feel right now we have to let people know were going to stand, were not going to back down. But were also going to start tearing down the system thats not designed for us, not in our favor. So what we will be doing is getting with people who are in place and getting people in place where we can start changing some of these laws to where things are it should never be okay for excess i force. I think the last two days ive seen two elderly people, one got hit in the head, and another its just no, no point or purpose for that. And in our words, were not going for it. We will stand. Arthel right. And youre going to organize. And, you know, listen, we we hae to acknowledge this is tough to watch even for the officers who are out there doing the right thing and really trying to abide by the rules and go by the book. This is tough for them too. We have to acknowledge their hard work as well. And youve mentioned something, that this goes beyond houston. And i agree with you, it does. So i want to ask you, this is going to take a collective force worldwide. So for anyone listening to us right now when they say what can i do, what is their part in this . Trey . First and foremost, care. You know, a lot of people feel like, hey, you know, its not affecting me directly, so i dont necessarily have opinion arthel trey, you got to give me for forgive me for a second. Producers, i cant hear the audio, but is this ms. Ruby floyd who has taken the lectern . Trey, we want to listen because i believe she is mr. Georges steph stepmother. They love everybody. Im not going to preach, but ive come to tell you today that god i dont know about you out there, but god is on our side, praise the lord can i get a witness sneer and im going to tell you something, we bringing back love back in the universe. Yall better come on, ya hear . I dont know about you, yall better clap them hands. Because god, god, you know what god is jesussing and i guarantee and guarantee you that george floyd jr. , he going to put love back in the universe. Gotta hit a note for my baby. Can i get a witness . [background sounds] arthel ms. Ruby floyd, the stepmother of mr. George floyd. Clearly overtaken by the holy spirit with her faith on full display. And that is what the family of george floyd is all about. I want to bring back trey the truth with me here. Trey, you know whats happening there. We want to share with our viewers whats happening there. You know, ms. Floyd said we are going to were bringing love back to the universe. And thats what this is about, you know . And people need to understand this is why this struck at the core, that we witnessed someones life drain out of their body right before our very eyes. And we, as a people, are people of love. And this is what we have to instill in everybody, but there also has to be action. Trey the truth, tell me. There definitely has to be action because, you know, without action with we wont get results. The only way we will get results is for these steps. And i can honestly say on national tv, im not perfect. I dont have the knowledge to know every step that has to be taken, but im prepared to stand and take the steps thats needed and get people in position with us. Because this is going to be something that will be more of a team, collective effort whether it may be from l. A. To new york, from minnesota, from louisville to d. C. , to houston. Its about getting the right ones who no longer i feel like a lot of us in life as human beings, you know, a lot of people have fear. Im one of the people i dont believe in fear, and i feel like the time for fear is over right now. This could be our kid. Arthel right. The time for fear is over, the time for faith always as we watch on our screen next to me that we we see ms. Ruby floyd, she is overtaken by the holy spirit. Her faith is on full display. And for people watching, i just want them to understand that this is where this is coming from. This is not about excluding anyone, it is about including everybody. And to witness this, you have to see the human side. And when you see the human side of anyone, you cant harm them with disregard for who they are as a human being. Trey the truth, tell me what youre doing in terms of action youre taking. Give me some sold steps that youre going solid steps youre going to be taking the next weeks and months. Well, weve been doing multiple things. As of to date, you know, i found out that there were peaceful protests that were arrest protesters that were arrested and charged. I ended up making calls today and had a conversation to where im actually waiting on the answer, but i do believe were going to get all their charges dismissed, because i feel theres no point for them to get a record for standing up for a cause like this. We will, we talked with Sheila Jackson lee and a couple of others. We want to figure out exactly what we can do to get some of these laws changed through congress and through the state i mean, through the representatives that have the power to vote and change some of these laws. And other than that, you know, what i do the best is just stand on the front lines. Im one of the ones that are gonna protect the people and do everything that we can because i felt just for those who know me in houston, texas, they call me the alltown hero because in any situation whether it may be natural disaster, life situation, anything, im one of the first people that they call. So i feel like for me to wear that title, im fully responsible, and i have to make sure everything is okay. Arthel absolutely. Well, indeed, trey the truth, you make your living through words, but your actions speak louder than your words. I thank you for joining us. Thank you very much, trey. Thank you too. All right.

Reporter defense secretary mark espers ordered all active Duty Military Police outside d. C. To return home. Hes also ordered all a 5,000 National Guard troops in the Nations Capital to disarm. Eric, thats roughly the same number of u. S. Troops deployed to iraq right now. So far we have not seen a large police or military presence, the National Guard troops a few blocks away are not wearing helmets, sunglasses or face covering, clearly more relaxed social distancing with these protesters. Nationwide over 40,000 National Guard troops have been mobilized, that number has doubled in the past four days. And the thousands of protesters continue to pour in, many coming from the Lincoln Memorial. All the protesters are moving north here on 16th street away from the white house, not sure where theyre going. Well find out and get back to you, eric. Eric lucas, thanks. A lot of controversy over those Law Enforcement and police, apparent Police Forces who are unidentified who basically had no markings on at all that caused a lot of concern by civil libertarians and others.

The two leaders going at each other over how to handle the protest and the deployment of military personnel in the city. Mark meredith has more. Reporter President Trump is not making any oncamera comments today, but those protesters are not too far from the white house. Were keeping an eye on twitter to see if he has any response to those demonstrating. I can tell you though White House Security has been beefed up quite a bit over the last several days. We have seen this place, basically, turned into a fortress. Its the most ive seen since inauguration day, and the National Guard as well as federal Law Enforcement can be spotted throughout the city. The mayor has increasingly called on governors to beef up on security, he even wants the governors to reach out to him directly. Heres what he said friday. And i hope that you also use our National Guard. Call me, well be ready for them so fast, their heads. [applause] spin. We did it in minnesota, in minneapolis. We were incredible. They were ripping that place apart. I love it, we had such success there. And they were ripping it apart, and i called the governor, and the National Guard went in. In one night, it was over. Reporter President Trump though has faced quite a bit of criticism over his response to George Floyds death. We have seen a bipartisan backlash really when it came to what happened earlier this week when he visited st. Johns church. The decision to clear protesters out of the way with ahead of the president s visit. We heard from several people including the former secretary of defense, james mattis. This is what he had to say. Quote donald trump is the first president in my lifetime disease not pre does not pretoned to try pretend to unite the people. Mike pence is firing back. I havent spoken to general mattis, but i can tell you hes wrong. What this president has done in recent days is what every american expects a president to do in times of crisis, and that is put the lives and the property and the liberty of every american first. Reporter we expect to hear more from the Vice President when his interview with jesse e watters airs at 8 p. M. Right here on fox. Arthel . Arthel mark meredith, thank you very much. Eric well, former Vice President joe biden, well, he now has enough delegates to secure the democratic nomination. Todays electoral victory occurred in guam. That put mr. Biden over the mark of the 1,991 delegates that he needs to be the democratic nominee. You know, his campaign is now setting its sights on the Democratic Convention is supposed to start on august 17th in milwaukee. But its still unclear if the party will be able to hold that event in person because of concerns about coronavirus. North carolina has raised issues about holding the Republican Convention in charlotte which may or may not happen down there. Arthel .

Eric Tropical Storm cristobal is eyeing the gulf coast. After dumping several inches of rain on mexico, watches now in effect from louisiana to florida. Meet adam klotz meteorologist adam klotz has the latest. Reporter hey there, eric. Landfall likely tomorrow in louisiana around this time, maybe a little bit later into the afternoon. But thats not going to necessarily be the only story. This is a massive storm. Folks are already seeing rain. Theres where it currently sits, some of the outer bands already falling across the state of florida. Its moving to the north at 12 miles an hour, is so youre talking about landfall late tomorrow afternoon, getting into the early evening hours likely right along the louisiana coast. Several models taking it, pretty much all in agreement. So this is the path were talking about. But as i said, its a very large storm, so its going to affect a much larger area. Tropical advisories, warnings in effect from the louisiana coast all the way over to the florida panhandle. Usually its the eastern half or its always the eastern half of the storm, so thats why youre seeing more warning in biloxi, mobile, getting closer to panama city. Storm surge is going to be one of the stories here, louisiana, getting up into mississippi. 24 feet thats going to be driven by Tropical Storm force winds. Those winds, again, right around 60 miles an hour. Everything in that very large origin and yellow orange and yellow bubble. Fairly fast moving storm, but were going to be talking about seeing those winds build early tomorrow, and even if youre outside of that wind field, this is the estimated rainfall, and youre seeing from the florida areas north of panama city beach, florida, these are spots that are still going to get 68 inches of rain. This is a big storm, its a quick mover, and i think because of that its going to impact a whole lot of people, especially with rain, eric. Eric yeah. From down south in florida, up north looks like fayetteville. Its going to be a busy season. Adam, thank you. Arthel all right, eric, thank you. Well, new york city seeing coronavirus hospitalizations spiking on friday, but mayor bill de blasio says this is not caused by George Floyd Protests. Doug luzader explains. Reporter a lot of protesting but not so much social distancing underway right now . What happened to the precautions we were all supposed to be taking, and might we see an uptick in cases now because of these big gatheringsings . Now, it is certainly true that lot of these protesters are wearing face masks, but not all of them. Add to that possible exposure for the police and National Guard troops, this could prove to be a dangerous mix. New york has just seen a big surge in cases, but mayor bill de blasio doesnt think the protests are to blame, at least not yet. Were going to watch that very, very carefully. Ill certainly be talking to our health care team, but i would be surprised if thats whats causing it. I think were much more likely in the next week, ten days to see a manifestation, if there is one. Reporter and that would be because of the incubation period. Lets take a look at the most recent numbers from the cdc on the coronavirus showing there have been more than 1. 8 million cases and more than 108,000 deaths. In a stunning move, meantime, some Public Health experts are now reversing themselves on big crowds, saying in the case of these protests, the risk of public gatherings are worthwhile. But the World Health Organization just changed its guidance now saying just about everyone should be wearing face masks if social distancing cannot be maintained. Meantime, police in paris tried to ban similar gatherings in that city because of fear it could lead to more spread of the virus. Ultimately, though, several hundred protesters showed up nonetheless.

Ends monday. Arthel loved ones remembering the wifef late astronaut john glenn to. A virtual Memorial Service was held for annie glenn who died back in may due to complication from coronavirus. Mrs. Glenn was 100 years old. The glenns were married for 73 years. John glenn was the First American to orbit the earth. Now, they thought the number would be a loss of 9 million jobs, and it was a gain of almost 3 million jobs. Weve been talking about the v. This is better than a v, this is a rocket ship. Eric our thoughtsing of course or ors are with the glenn family. Meanwhile, thats President Trump, of course, he was touting the surprising jobs report. Saying that yesterday. You know, the u. S. Economy, they say, added 2. 5 million jobs in may. Unemployment rate dropping from 14. 7 to, at first, a reported 13. 3 despite predictions it would rise to almost 20 . So is a vshaped recovery happening, or will there be a u or a w . Paul gigot, host of the wall street journal report, Dan Henninger, columnist and deputy Editorial Page Editor, both joining us from home. So, or paul, let me start with you. First, they say there was a miscalculation, error that the 13. 3 was actually a 16. 3. But still, its not up to that a 20 , so this is pretty good news. Yeah, i think thats right. Theres no doubt theres going to be some noise in those statistics because of the tumult that weve had because of the pandemic expect shutdown. Weve never had a situation like this with a fall in employment so fast. So naturally, therell be some noise. But this is good news because it created two and a half million new jobs, and we thought wed lose millions more. So that suggests that the recovery has maybe hit a bottom, and its bouncing back. The boar the labor markets healing, still in an awful place, but maybe were starting to see that comeback. And the good news in particular is that the count in may was, you know, usually figures in the middle of the month. Okay . So that didnt capture all of the reopening that took place in the later weeks of the month. So we should see some further improvement in june. Eric and, i mean, after that, dan, let me go to you for a second, there is the fear, concern that some of the jobs may not come back and that the employment rate for hispanics and for africanamericans is lower, and this really has hit more of the low income jobs. What do you think about that . Will more come back, or are some jobs, you know, permanently gone . Well, probably some jobs are are or permanently gone to the extent that businesses have declared bankruptcy, restaurants and the like. Some of those have simply gone out of business. And he were the primary job creator really for businesses at the low end of the income scale. And it was extraordinary, the extent to which they were creating jobs before the coronavirus happened. We have that element, a couple of elements in the legislation, currently the payroll protection plan, the loan forgiveness has been extended by six months, and now Small Business owners are able to use more of the loan for operational expenses than they were previously. And that makes it likely that a lot of those businesses that previously had hired minority workers will be able to sustain themselves. And my guess is that they will begin bringing them back into the work force. The third question, of course, is whether it will sustain the 600 employment bonus which causes many people on unemployment to be making more than they were while they were working. If that is exe tended, it creates a disincentive for some of those workers to come back. My guess, eric, is that many of them will want jobs rather than a temporary Unemployment Insurance bow new. Eric so, paul, how to you get them back, and what do you see happening the rest of the year . I mean, we will at some point, but when do you think we can get back to the way it was before coronavirus . I dont think anybody knows the answer to that, eric, because we dont know the pace of the reopening. We also dont know the pace of the virus. I mean, we have to be careful. So far theres some good news out of texas, florida and georgia, states that opened on the early side havent seen that real second wave yet. But, of course, its summer, and maybe well see it later. Thats a big concern. But i think people are going to be cautious. I think businesses are going to be cautious. But well have to see how it goes. We had some good news out of europe too, recently, because italy and spain have been cautiously reopening, and we havent seen a big new second wave there either of covid is. So i think covid19. The good news is dan makes a really important point. This ppp program flexibility, a suggestion month ability to spend the loan as opposed to two will give a lot more flexibility to businesses and probably help a lot more survive. And then that key date is july 31st when the unemployment enhanced benefit of 600 expires. If the congress does not make the mistake of expanding at that level, i think we can see even faster employment through the end of the year. Eric yeah, certainly well need that. Paul and dan, dont go away because theres controversy this week another controversy this week. What general james mattis said about President Trump is raising some eyebrows, and well have that analysis when we come back. Because when caught early, its more treatable. Im cologuard.

It was on that fateful today of june 6, 1944, when allied troops launched the largest sea borne invasion in history. The victory turned the tide against the nazis during world war ii. Eric and we remember and honor the sacrifice and the great leadership of winston churchill, dwight d. Izen a hour and the others eisenhower. If youve been there personally, an amazing tribute to this country and to their bravery, and we thank them. Meanwhile, there was a stinging denunciation this week from President Trumps former defense secretary in the wake of the president s threat to use military force to restore order in cities here at home. General james mattis calling President Trump, quote the first president in my lifetime that does not try to unite the american people. Mattis went on to say that, quote we are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership. Wall street Editorial Board calling those comments, quote the revenge of jim mattis. Were back with the two gentlemen who run that board, Editorial Page Editor paul gigot and columnist Dan Henninger. Is he offended and outraged . Yeah, i dont think its so much personal as it is kind of his judgment about having worked for donald trump and what he thinks about Donald Trumps leadership. I dont think hes motivated by any personal revenge, per is say. I think there was genuine concern about the use of active duty troops in the streets of american cities, there was concern in the military about that. The defense secretary made that clear this week. I think jim mattis went too far in saying that deploying those troops would be unconstitutional since the insurrection act is perfectly legal under the constitution and has been used by other president s. But i i think the president s governing style, his manner of leadership may be catching up to him because, you know, hes gone through an awful lot of defense secretaries, chiefs of staff, National Security advisers, and he always hasnt been gracious when theyve left. He sometimes gives them a kick as theyre going out the door. And that catches up to you after a while. And maybe some of that is what were starting to hear from, with jim mattis and maybe some others coming ahead. Eric dan, when paul said some others, what to you expect down the road . More of this . Well, yeah. We have, of course, john boltons book is going to come out, presumably at some point, and that we expect is going to be very critical of the president s foreign policy. And i guess the larger point that i would make here, eric, is that recall the 2016 president ial election was very close. And the president really at this point needs to be expanding the electorate, not contracting it. And i dont think it helps him a lot to be getting into a fight with prominent figures like jim mattis. This elections going to be decided by a lot of independent voters in very important swing states, and i think what you want is more of those independents deciding they can live with Donald Trumps tumultuous governing style rather than being repelled by it, because that is precisely the argument joe biden and the democrats are going to make between now and november. So i think the job here is to expand the base, not to contract it by getting into petty fights with all of his critics. Eric and, paul, do you think the president s actions, hes been doing that are just the opposite. Well, i dont think the last couple of weeks have helped him in that regard, to be honest with you, eric. And well see if he can somehow set a tone of more empathy. I dont know whether hes capable of that or not. It might help him, i think in some cases. You know, the president s right, you have to restore order in these cities where there are riots and the use of the National Guard, hes right, has been very good in minnesota. I just think in saying, look, bring active duty troops in before he had con ultimated, you know consulted, you know, his team enough, and think thats redounded to his detriment some. Well see how these protests evolve and how the democrats handle it. Do they become violent again . That could help the president , because then he would be seen as a strong leader putting, restoring order. But, you know, its, it remains to be seen just how itll play politically. Eric i mean, dan, by and large, the protesters have largely been peaceful. But, of course, weve had the looters, the criminal element talk advantage of this situation because of that. How do you see this playing out over the next few weeks, and in terms of what the protesters are saying. Weve got about 30 seconds, in term of structural change in Police Departments like defunding the police. Exactly. Very interesting question, eric. What polls have emerged show that 70 of the public in part or fully supports the protests themselves, but more than 70 denounce the disorder and the looting. And the question is how will those independent voters sort that out and decide whether they think joe biden is better able to bring the country back to normalcy e or donald trump. That is the question. Eric all right. Were up against the clock. Paul and dan, thank you. Im sorry to cut it off, but thats what happens in news. Thanks, eric. Eric well see you in just a moment. To the rural ramblers, back to the landers, head turners and stripe burners. Run with us on a john deere mower. Because this is more than just grass. Its home. Search john deere mowers for more. Arthel with the coronavirus pandemic still looming, ten of thousands to are taking to the streets in the u. S.

The city now has banned Police Chokeholds in the wake of floyds death. Lets begin with mike tobin whos reporting on the protesters out in the streets in st. Paul, minnesota, the twin city of minneapolis, of course, right across the mississippi. Hi, mike. Reporter hi, eric. We just saw a demonstration wrap up at the governors residence in st. Paul. This coming at a time, of course, when so much of the attention is focused on whats happening in North Carolina. It comes on, as the discussion has moved to disbanding the police in minneapolis when the city council had just voted the ban chokeholds. They put a requirement in place that police, if they see excess i force being used, they must report it or be subject to disciplinary action. Also a requirement if any of the nonlethal weaponry is to be used like flash bangs, like tear gas, the chief must approve that first. But, first, the people who showed up here today say its not enough. As far as im concerned, we should be out here every single day, seven days a week until. Shut it all down. We shouldnt go back to work. We shouldnt this is more important than anything economic thats going on. This is systemic, and its going to take some level of systemic change. There needs to be more done at the legislature, or we need policy changes at the legislative level, we need policy changes within education, with we need policy changes within Human Services and health programs. We need changes with how funding reaches our community. There are a lot of changes that need to be made. Reporter and the demonstrations have taken a traumatically different posture. This one had a start time and an end time. It fit the definition of peaceful. Police protected the route as demonstrators made their voices heard and then ended at that given ending time. As far as how long it will take for people to continue coming to the street, the people tell me theyll keep on marching until they feel its right to leave the street. Eric . Eric all right, mike, thanks so much. Arthel . Arthel well, eric, thank you. Another day of massive rallies across the country and in the Nations Capital where thousands of protesters poured into the streets marching in memory of mr. George floyd. Today oohs protest todays protest expected to be the largest in the history of that city. Curve corke kevin corke live in washington with more. Kevin . Reporter arthel, incredible pictures earlier with, we brought those to you live on the network as we showed you what was happening down constitution avenue. We have joined marchers as we continue to move through the city where now, actually, just along the u street corridor. For the folks at home who are wondering, thats still about a mile and a half north of the actual white house. To were about a mile and a half north, maybe a block over. Were not too far away from the i mean, the center of the city as we just kind of make our way back down there toward lafayette park. Were watching marchers in every single direction. In fact, this street moments ago was closed a off as a huge band of marchers made their way right past us. Now, were looking left where we are. If you take a look at whats happening over at malcolm x park, you can see another fairly challenger collection of marchers there, all preparing to make their way down 16th street. As you know, 1600 pennsylvania avenue, that gives you a sense of where that street goes, directly to the front door, if you will, of the white house. Certainly in that direction. Weve also seen a large gathering at the Lincoln Memorial. A number of people are out, perhaps those who couldnt make it out during the crux of the week, theyre out here on a weekend to not only show their support for the other marchers here, they also want to be in sol dare with the folks solidarity with the folks who are saying enough is enough, they want change x. A great number of them have said to me personally, we want this to be peaceful. And thats good news for everyone. Arthel . Arthel indeed, it is. Kevin corke, thank you so much. Eric . Eric arthel, its another busy weekend in chicago for demonstrators around the windy city. Hundreds of roads downtown have been ordered closed, trains are not stopping at stations out of some safety concerns. Theres more security being deployed on the streets to prevent any possible looting this weekend. Grady trimble live in chicago with the latest on whats happening there. Hey, grady. Reporter hey, eric. At the height of this protest, 30,000 people were involved, and they marched past areas of the city that had been loot and were still boarded up from the violence of the prior week. But this protest, much like others across the country, struck a different tone. It was peaceful, and police say as of right now there have been no arrests. Earlier in the week though there were hundreds of arrest in response to the violence across the city. There were almost more than 200 complaints lodged against the chicago Police Department including officers you see in this video arresting a group of people who were at a Shopping Mall at the height of the violence and looting earlier in the week. The officers involved in that arrest have been stripped of their responsibilities for now as an outside investigation takes place. Other officer, at least one other officer was caught showing his middle finger on camera. The mayor of this city says there is no place for that in her department. And in my view, that person needs to be immediately stripped of their police powers, and they should start the process for firing him. We will not tolerate that kind of abusive, offensive conduct on the part of police officers. Period. Reporter and many of the protesters today calling for the defunding of the chicago Police Department and the other Police Departments across the country. Mayor lori lightfoot, in her press conference, did not go that far. There is still a curfew in effect here in chicago, that goes into effect in about five hours. Eric . Eric yeah. That defunding proposal across the country sparking quite a controversiful well are more on that. Grady, thank you so much. Arthel . Arthel eric, thank you. Well, in los angeles peaceful protests after the curfew was lifted there. With big crowds still marching throughout the city, calling to defund the police force, this comes as mayor Eric Garcetti announces major social Justice Reform citywide including a proposed budget cut to the lapd. Lets go to Christina Coleman now live in los angeles with more details. Christina, hi. Reporter hi, arthel. Im at the Federal Building near ucla here in los angeles, and you can see there are hundreds of people here gathered to protest, people of different ages, races, backgrounds, young and old out here voicing their concern and their message, calling for justice. And many of them calling for the defunding of the los angeles Police Department. Go ahead and just take a look, theres so many People Holding signs at this busy intersection here. Now, l. A. Mayor Eric Garcetti says he supports defunding the local Police Department even though hes getting a lot of backlash for us. The local police union said it could result inless patrols on the in less patrols on the street and more crime. The mayor is proposing 250 million in budget cuts including 150 in cuts to the Police Department to invest in jobs, health and education. Take a listen. Dollars need to be focused on our black community here in los angeles as well as communities of color and women and people who have been heft behind for too long left behind for too long. And will this involve cuts . Yes, of course. To every department, including the Police Department. Reporter as the protesters continue to call for justice and an end to systemic inequality and defunding of the local Law Enforcement, mayor Eric Garcetti says the shift in city funding is not an attack on any police officers. He says the redirected money is to help those ato Economic Conditions adjust to Economic Conditions and that money would come from different agent i says across City Government. But the l. A. Police union still voiced mounting frustration with the a mayor. Yesterday the union called garcetti unstable and accused him of political pandering after he used the word quill killers killers while discussing proposed funding cuts to the Police Department. Resident of los angeles, concerned about Eric Garcetti. Hes clearly unstable. Every Single Police officer in los angeles by calling us killers. Thats offensive, its wrong [inaudible] reporter now as the mayor and the police union go back and forth on these proposed Police Spending cuts, the protesting continues as more and more people demand justice. And no telling on when these protesting, when these protests will end. And, again, this is just one of many protests taking place here in california. This one is growing larger by the minute as another one taking place in nearby Orange County right now at huntington beach. Arthel . Arthel okay. Christina coleman, thank you very much. Eric. Eric well, arthel, an historic landmark becoming the site for another peaceful protest this saturday, this one in california. Demonstrators marched in large numbers rights across the right across the Golden Gate Bridge in san francisco, showing their support for black lives matter. One of the many protests that are planned for the bay area. Claudia cowan is there right along with the protesters. Claudia, can you hear me . Reporter yeah, i can, eric. Good afternoon. Well, i can tell you we have a ruckus situation on our hands after what started as a peaceful march along both sides of the bridge has now taken a turn, and as you can see hundreds if not thousands of protesters marching in solidarity with black lives matter completely shut down all lanes, all six lanes here of the Golden Gate Bridge. This is a tactic we have seen in many of these demonstrations, of course. Its a peaceful protest, but it certainly causes a lot of disruption and inconvenience for folks who are just trying to get across the bridge. So i have to tell you a lot of people in these cars are honking, they are getting out of their cars, and they are joining with these marchers. Many of whom, as you can see, have have signs and bull horns. They are shouting no justice, no peace. All in all, it has been a peaceful rally. Obviously, the permit calls for people top stay off the and now traffic on both sides of the Golden Gate Bridge has been lock blocked for id say about a half hour now. Were now seeing protesters actually starting to march, so perhaps if a sign that traffic will start moving. We got some aerial shots earlier today. You can see just how many people took part in this event which was organized just within the past few days. And at one point a very poignant moment about an hour into the march, everyone silently took a knee and stayed quiet for more than eight minutes, of course, representing the memory of george floyd and how he died at the hands of that Minneapolis Police officer. I should also add, eric, that these protesters are also sharing a message about how people can support racial equality through their Consumer Spending or perhaps lack of it. Part of a National Campaign to shut down the economy on july 7thing asking if people must spend money and do shopping that day, they do it at blackowned businessesful well have more for you later. Back to you. Eric we just saw the aerial image, pretty jawdropping of those people over that amazing bridge. There it is. Arthel and, eric, while the george floyd yeah, its amazing. It really is amazing to see our country and residents and citizens come together like that. And while the George Floyd Protests have highlighted troubling incidents in multiple cities, leadership of one city is showing how they are committed to change. Were going to talk to the police chief featured in a viral picture about steps hes taking to listen to the Community Week after week. And right now, is a time for action.

Arthel well, eric, while tensions between police and protesters has escalated into violation in some places violence, in some places, the mayor and police chief in santa cruz, california, decided to take a knee along with hundreds gathered last weekend to horn the memory to honor the memory of george floyd. Since then, the police chief has promised to hold weekly meetings to discuss the future of policing and ways to improve. We are join by chief of police this in santa cruz, andrew mills. Chief, welcome. Very happy to have you. And id like to start by asking you what in your heart sparked that decision to take a knee . Well, good afternoon, arthel, and thank you so much for having me on fox news. To talk about whats taking place in santa cruz. That morning my wife kathy and i got up and had our cup of coffee, and we were discussing how difficult this situation was and how awful the murder was that happened to mr. Floyd. And we both felt that we needed to do something, her from her position as a citizen and me in my position as police chief the make a clear and concise statement that this was wrong. Its against everything we believe. The antithesis of what i believe policing is. Treat people humanely, with dignity and respect. There was no respect there. There was just a cold, calculated, awful killing. And i wouldnt kneel on a dogs neck, let alone another human beings neck. So we both went out there, i happened to see the mayor, justin cummings, whos extremely supportive of our department and what were doing and trying to accomplish here. We were talking, it came time for everybody to kneel down, and joy flynn, event organizer, gave the call and we just kneeled together. And a local [inaudible] unbeknownst to us, and the result was, hopefully, some inspiration to Community Members and other people to take this event really seriously. Arthel indeed it did, chief. And so from taking a knee to taking a step in the right direction, how do we get to reformation . Well, weve got a long road ahead of us, but we have to do it quickly. This is something that we need to move expeditiously on, and theres one thing that i think that every police chief in the nation can do. Earlier this week we banned carotid restraint here in our Department Following san diego and several other chiefs. And now Governor Newsom has banned it in the entire state. I think that every police chief in the nation can make a good faith effort and show progress, Immediate Progress in their departments by banning the carotid restraints or the chokehold as its known throughout the nation just to show the community that there is hope, that we understand the severity of this problem in policing and use of force and race, and its time for us to move forward in a systematic, sure and aggressive manner to make change in plussing. If we dont in policing. If we dont, i think we lose our legitimacy to be the protectors of society if we cant protect all of society equally. Arthel absolutely. Chief, tell me, was it you that i believe said to your department the motto is if you see it, you own it . Well, i plagiarized that from a colleague of mine in san diego. Yes, were telling our people and others as well, if you see it, you own this. There is no more, hey, it was the other guy, you know, i didnt have i didnt see what happened, i was there but all the negating and the excuse making, if youre there, you saw it, you own it and youre just as culpable as the person who actually did it. And were going to hold firm to that in this Police Department. I know others will join us. Arthel and tell us more about mayor cummings surveillance accountability. Can you tell me more about that . Well, i can tell you this, a couple things. We had a large crowd here that was getting an may noted and started to do minor acts of trunks, and the mayor, whos a black man, stepped up, walked out in the middle of that crowd and told them what he thought and how to make lawful change. It calmed the crowd down, and as a a result of it, we didnt have to deploy resources to do that. In addition to that, the he and i are both working on a way to improve the relationship with the community. Theres two things that are low hanging fruit that we think we can do. One is to predictive plussing in our city. We were one of the first cities to use it. We tonight see the benefit at we dont see the benefit at this point, were going to switch to neighborhood policing to solve problems. And the second is to ban face recognition technology. It is just not there. The National Institute of science determined that people of color, especially black men and asian women, are up to 100 times more likely to be misidentified with face recognition technology. It is just not there to be automobile to use it at this point. Able to use it. That as well as some other things x itll be really interesting to see what our Community Group of africanamerican and black leaders tell us what they would like to see changed. We are bound and determined to make real, substantive change that makes sense and still protects our community. And i believe that we can accomplish that goal working together. Arthel chief, i believe you can too because i can hear the determination in your voice, and i can tell its in your heart, that youre listening and youre ready for change for good for all of the people there in santa cruz. Chief andrew mills, thank you very much for joining us here. Thank you very much. Thank you. Arthel eric . Eric arthel, we saw an emotional tribute, service to the life of george floyd in North Carolina being held at the church near where he grew up near fayetteville. Thats in raeford. But who was george floyd and what was he like before the world got to know him . His pastor from houston is here to tell us. There he is. Oh, wow.

Arthel the tiny town of raeford, North Carolina, Getting National attention today as family and friends held a homegoing ceremony for mr. George floyd who was born in nearby fayetteville. Jonathan serrie is live outside the site of the Memorial Service with more. Jonathan . Reporter hi, arthel. And the Service Still going on as we speak, and i think you noticed several hours ago listening in on some to have speakers that this is a service infused with the holy spirit. Despite the awful circumstances of George Floyds death, this is family fulled with hope, a family with a filled with hope, a family with a strong faith. Despite the tragic circumstances, family members are celebrating mr. Floyds life. And as with many people who came out to support them, they have a strong sense that some good, perhaps a national healing, is going to come out of this. Listen. Lord, is on our side can we get a witness here . And i i want to tell you something, we bringing back love back in the universe reporter she says they are bringing back love in the universe. Representative of North Carolina governor roy cooper presented this family with a state flag that flew over the capitol in rag league. Earlier raleigh. Thousands of people of different races, multiple states and all ages descended on this Small Town Church for the public viewing. Take a listen. And this would be my sons, dominic and brendan, my cousins, this could be anyone. My nephew asked me, aunt pam, what is the right thing to do . George floyd, he didnt do anything wrong. So we had to get out here. We need to stand together as people. Reporter on friday both the Raeford Police chief hope county sheriff marched with protesters even though their departments were not involved in mr. Floyds death, they wanted to make it clear to the public that what happened in minneapolis was unacceptable. Now, the sheriff urged people, residents and visitors, not to protest today, that today was about loving the family and supporting the family. And as you can see from the people out here, what theyre doing is simply a show of support. They are following the sheriffs advice x. What we see here. Just an outpouring of love from people around North Carolina and also other states. Many people have come from miles away, arthel, back to you. Arthel uhhuh. Jonathan serrie in raeford, North Carolina, thank you, jonathan. Thankful for his life and the fact that you gave us a man such a light anything a dark place. He was an o. G. For so many of us. He opened up pathways and doorways that we could bring light and hope to if not for him, my ministry would not exist. And so im thankful for that. Eric thats houstons Resurrection Church pastor saying a prayer for his friend, george floyd. In life he worked with the pastor in Christian Ministry and outreach at resurrection houston in that citys third ward. Thats where he grew up and lived before moving to minneapolis just a few years ago. The pastor joins us now. Thank you for being here. Our condolences, of course. When you think of george floyd, what comes to mind . Man, i think of somebody who was larger than life and hospitable. When i was trying to make headway in the cuny Homes Project right here in third ward im in the red elephant studios right here in third ward, and when with i was trying to make headway in the neighborhood, i needed some allies, somebody who would introduce me to people, would allow the ministry to happen in the neighborhood with relative safety and who was loved, admired and respected in the community. The bible would call that a person of peace. And i would describe george floyd as a person of peace. Eric why was he so liked in that community and respected, as you say x what was and what was he able to do for your ministry . We have a picture of mr. Floyd with a bible, holding up a bible with some of the folks in resurrection houston. Yeah. So thats interesting. Mr. Floyd was a person who was what we call in the neighborhood an o. G. , somebody who had been through the wars, who had made the mistakes and who was able to go back to a generation and said, hey, guys, this is the way you ought to move, this is how you ought to do it. And so, man, he took a liking to what we were doing. We would do church in the cuny Homes Project, we called it church of the brucks, bricks is another name for the housing projects created in the late 30s with bricks. Wed are church, wed are to bring a bunch of stuff out there and, man, he would sometimes help us bring chairs and tables and baptism pools. We would have basketball tournaments and, man, hed enter a team and participate. And, heck, man, those guys are were so good, they beat all the youngsters and won. That picture you see is us taking a picture after they won the tournament. Eric and there he is playing basketball at the tournament. You just said something that was very important. You said george floyd has, quote, been to the wars and made some mistakes. You know what critics are saying, they say, look, he a had an arrest record, he served time in prison reports say for Home Invasion back in 2007, and theyve criticized him for that. Is that fair . Does that a matter or does that show that he was able to redeem himself in the ministry . Well, theres something thats interesting. Christianity is, the narrative christianity not about [inaudible] its about redemption. And i think he epitomized redemption, how god takes a life that a may have gone one way. And when i met him, i met him, you know, way after that. So what i met was somebody the person i met was somebody whos on their Journey Towards growing in their faith in christ and also, more importantly, impacting the people who he was near and dear to. Man, weve got Text Messages of him even while hes in minnesota encouraging people, man, keep doing what youre doing. And what its interesting, there was one text message in particular that said keep doing what youre doing. Im going to be back in june. And, you know, tragically, he didnt make it to june. But were thankful for his life, and we think god hears his blood that was shed and, man, hes doing some work in our community and hopefully in the nation to reform us from what i call the original sin of racism. And i think that we have an opportunity, a prime opportunity to let this life with the catalyst for us to have true change in our country. Eric this has seemed to galvanize the country more than any other similar type of death that weve had since, you know, dr. Martin luther king jr. How far do you think this movement will go, and you have called him, likened him as a christlike figure in covering the Memorial Service thursday in minneapolis. At the end it was like he echoeses, perhaps, jesus and pontius pilate. Bring that forward a little more and terms of what you see as the life of george floyd, what he means and where you would see this movement going. Man, it thank you for asking. So theres a story in the woulde about cain and abel. Cain has a speaking role. Not only does he speak to god, he speaks to abel. Abel is notoriously silent, says nothing, and then hes slaughtered. But the bible tells us that god heard abels blood even after he is dead, that he had heard the blood. So it signals to us that even though death may be a final period for us, for god its just a comma. He literally hears the suffering of those who have been slain. And so i believe that big floyd is one of the line of innocent suffers from abel all the way to jesus christ and that god heard the blood of floyd and is using that to bring our country to tears, see the issue of racism, the fault line thats there and across our country. And to bring the National Conversation to the forefront. And i pray that we see that the its either going to master us, or were going to master us. But im hopeful that we allow this death to point us to the redemption that we could have in jesus christ as a people as we repent of this, this original sin of racism. In our country. Eric patrick, pastor patrick ngolo, thank you for your wisdom, thank you for those thoughts for our nation, and thank you for appearing today with us here on the Fox News Channel. And, ironically, sadly, big floyd is back. He will be back in june, this week. Not the way any of us would have thought, but as a global symbol of something else. Pastor, thank you for joining us. And we will have special coverage of the Memorial Service for george floyd. It is in houston on monday starting at 1 p. M. Eastern time right here on the Fox News Channel, and we will be right back. I am robert strickler. Ive been involved in communications in the media for 45 years. Ive been taking prevagen on a regular basis for at least eight years. For me, the greatest benefit over the years has been that prevagen seems to help me recall things and also think more clearly. And i enthusiastically recommend prevagen. It has helped me an awful lot. Prevagen. Healthier brain. Better life. That go out today get delivered. There are people who can only get food from amazon.

Eric well, seattle banning the use of tear gas for 30 days amid the George Floyd Protests. The mayor of the city and the police chief announced an agreement on the suspension of using tear gas, but they say officers can still use pepper spray, flash bang grenades and other tools they need for crowd control. Health officials have warned it could increase the risk of infection with the covid19 pandemic. Arthel . Arthel eric, thank you. Well, the George Floyd Protests across the country have Health Care Officials reminding us we are still living with coronavirus. The pandemic is still looming. Many demonstrators have been packing streets to march without face coverings, some of them, stoking fears of a new spike in cases. Dr. Friedman is here, former cdc direct exercise former new York City Health commissioner. He is now president and ceo at resolve to save lives. Im going the get to the tear gas in a second, but i want to first start here. What stands out to you when you see the massive protests, and do these protests today guarantee an uptick in krone corona cases in two weeks . Well, only time will tell what will happen, but as a there and a scientist, one of the things we look at is the context. And the fact is that spread out of doors is far less likely than spread indoors. Theres so much dilution of virus in the air that one large study that estimated youre 19 times less likely to spread or catch covid outdoors than indoors. In another study, only 2 out of 3,000 people who have had the virus got it outdoors. But that doesnt mean the risk is zero, and that low risk can be made even lower if people wear a mask. Thats why we say the three ws are important; wear a maas, wash your hands mask, wash your hands and watch your distance. Stay 6 feet away if possible. Arthel so lets get back to that tear gas and pepper spray. Does that exacerbate the problem . If people cough more because of pepper spray or tear gas, the risk of them spreading it to others does increase. Other things that are associated with these events can increase the risk, that includes, for example, if a lot of people are arrested and put in jail. Jail is indoors. Remember indoors versus outdoors, big difference. Weve seen big outbreaks in jails. So that indoor environment. And weve seen some looting that has destroyed test sites. That would make it harder to control. But to me, theres an even larger issue here which is ive worked in Infectious Disease control in this country and around the world for 30 years, and its really important that the Community Trusts the government. Because otherwise they wont come in for testing, people wont get, share information if theyre tested, they wont follow the recommendations. Its cu that that bond of key that that bond of trust between the government expect Community Needs to be strong, otherwise its very hard to control Infectious Diseases. And ultimately, i really hope that we can agree we unite against the virus because its people against the virus, we unite against racism, and we unite against violence. Were all safer and healthier that way. Arthel so how do you maintain that trust with the government . In the case of covid, it means sharing information openly about whats happening. It means making sure that patients who have the infection are provided services sensitive hi are. It means that sensitively. It means those who have been exposed to the virus are warned in advance to they dont spread it to others. Ultimately, its knowing that your government has your back in terms of this virus, that were doing the testing, isolation, Contact Tracing and quarantine to keep the virus in, at check so so it doesnt explode again. Right now weve made a lot of progress. People stayed home for a long time. They avoided being in crowded indoor spaces x thats working. In new york city weve gone from more than 500 deaths a day to 30 or 40. Thats still too many, but thats a dramatic improvement for this terrible virus. But we cant lose the gains that weve made. And thats why its important that people keep their distance, wear a mask and that we intense ily test, ice rate isolate, Contact Trace and quarantine. Arthel dr.
