Transcripts For FOXNEWSW FOX And Friends Sunday 20200614

Restaurant. Protesters set fire to the restaurant. Jedediah atlantas police chief resigned from the Department Less than 24 hours after the shooting. Welcome to the 6 00 a. M. Hour of fox friends. Here with griff jenkins. Pete hegseth. Well cover the latest the Atlanta Shooting and what is going on the ground in seattle. Pete protests, lighting of wendys on fire happened last night. Firing of police chief. Resigning the police chief. Well bring in ted williams, Fox News Contributor and former d. C. Homicide detective to weigh in. Thanks for joining the program. I watched a lot of this footage. The police were called to this wendys a man reportedly stopped in his car. They found out he was intoxicated. They asked him to get out of the vehicle. Initially not resisting arrest. It quickly became that he grabbed an officers taser. He ran. Shots fired. Ted, reaction looking at tape as it happened. Guys. Good morning to you all. What we have unfortunately, atlanta, georgia, a city on fire, internally and externally. When we say that i think what i have seen looking at video and response by the city, i think mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms may have acted precipitously terminating one officer and put one officer on leave before the investigation was completed. What happens in these situations normally is that there is a investigation. Officers are normally put on administrative leave. The Georgia Bureau of investigation conducting the investigation, would issue a report and then the mayor would act. But my understanding the mayor of atlanta is on a short list to be the running mate as the Vice President for the biden committee. And therefore im deeply concerned. But i think what our viewers must understand is that a Police Officer can use deadly force when there is a fleeing felon. And if that Police Officer believes that his life or the life of others are in tanker, he can use deadly force. Griff you know, ted, we were texting a lot last night because remember the call came for an individual sleeping in his car in a drivethrough. Then, even though brooks appear to turn gun which is a taser fire at him. There is space, theyre giving chase. Different perhaps than the force used had they still been wrestling. So as you and i over these years gone in looked at use of force was it appropriate or has politics played too big after role in this decision . Well, this is the 64,000dollar question why the decision was made so precipitously. Youre right, griff, you and i covered many of these scenarios and situations around the country and in this situation the question of whether deadly force was used properly should have been left up to the Georgia Bureau of investigation and it was not. And as a result of that, we had people out on the highway protesters out on the highway. We had the wendys on fire. We have gates stations right in that area. It is a very unfortunate situation. You know, ted, did authorities respond to quickly punishing the officer, there was perception in case of george floyd by many, many people said why did it take so long to hold the officers accountable . Why did it take five days. When i look at this video truthfully. It looked to me like police panicked. I watched it from several different angles. I understand rayshard resisted arrest. He failed a sobriety test. He pointed a taser at Police Officer, things you should not do. Police are trained in this situation. Their job is not to use deadly force where someone is not using deadly force against them. When i look at it, that is my perception. Could that have possibly led the authorities to make the charge quickly in combination with the perception in the case of george floyd there was delay that the public did not take to very well . Well it could very well have led to that, jed, but i got to tell you, you also have to look at this in the eyes of a Law Enforcement officer. Remember theyre tussling with this guy, theyre wrestling with the guy. The guy has now got a taser. He is running. Theyre running after him. The adrenaline is flowing. He turns around, fires at them and one of the officers fires back. I dont know whether at this stage was reasonable or not but i think you have to let the facts and investigation play out to make that determination. I dont think, and again, you can react if youre the mayor but why not put the person on leave pending the outcome of the investigation . Youve got to wonder about morale in the georgia, in the atlanta, georgia, Police Department. Too many times, just two weeks ago, four officers were fired and i think sometimes you may be acting but perhaps maybe overreacting unfortunately. Pete ted, youre right you have to put yourself in the shoes of officer, you dont know, uncertainty, they are afraid. They want to go home. They dont want confrontation. Resisting of arrest. Context of defund the Police Movement. There is a ton of scrutiny right now. Seattle is one of those places as well. There is chaz which changed its name were told. There are protests there. There were counterprotesters in support of the police yesterday. One of those protesters, we got video of it, was carrying an American Flag. At which point she was confronted, yelled at, part of protests. Then that happened. The flag is stolen, taken away. What is it about caring the flag in country today would be affront to brac lives matter or black lives matter or anyone taking on the police right now . The bottom line, absolutely nothing that is going on in our country that should have us demeaning the flag of the United States of america, specifically seattle, washington. Seattle washington is completely out of control. It will get worse before it gets better. You have got the chief of police, chief carmen best, is at odds with the mayor. Why . Because she has seen demonstrators come into an area of seattle there, take over a Police Precinct and these demonstrators are having parties. Theyre eating pizza. Doing movies. Theyre now making demands that are just unrealistic. They want answers. The Police Department, want it to be disbanded. Not only asked for the Police Department disbanded. Asked for free education, a lot of things that should not be happening. I can tell you this will not play out well. It is not going to get better. Theyre going to have to have a meeting, governor, state police, perhaps maybe even the National Guard, they will have to go in, in seattle and bring that back under control. Griff ted, you talk about protesters the demands there, here is short clip of some of the unusual demands were seeing. I want you to find by the end, by the time you leave this autonomous zone, i want you to give 10 to one africanamerican person from this autonomous zone. If you have a hard time giving out 10, got to think about, are you really down with this struggle . Are you really down with the movement . Because if that is a challenge for you, then im unsure if youre in the right place. Griff now, ted, i chuckled at it, serious in the sense how is that possibly helping bring any sort of solution to Racial Injustice which is such an important thing to address today . Griff, lets be very realistic what is going on in seattle is a movement within itself. It has nothing to do with the death ever george floyd. What is going on is that individuals have there have their own agendas, they have now taken over the city. They have taken over these blocks in the city and something should have been done initially. The longer this goes on in seattle, you can take it to the bank, that there are going to be more people injured in trying to bring about change in that area, when i say bring about change, i mean simply, getting control of that area. It is out of control. The mayor is clearly wrong here. These are not just peaceful protesters. The chief of police is, like i said, is at odds with the mayor. The chief of police would like to send people in there and take over. Here again, youre looking at morale problem in the Police Department, where Police Officers see where they are being disrespected, their precinct is being disrespected, their city is being disrespected. This cannot continue to go on in that city. Jedediah yes. Ted, obvious fear is, that you know, you say we need to get the situation under control in seattle. Many agree. The fear hopefully it will not escalate into violence when that happens. At some point the police will say, listen you cant set up an autonomous zone were unable to get to people in the zone reporting crimes they need our help dealing with. So this remains to be seen. Hopefully doesnt escalate to violence. We appreciate you weighing in. Thank you very much. Pete thank you, ted. Youre told if youre white, pull out 10, give it to a black person, i dont see how that, reparations ultimately what the left is going at here. At west point, there is event graduating. Commissioned at Second Lieutenants. The president there to give commencement address. He gave a great remarks, guys. Here is portion what our president said yesterday. What historically made america unique is the durability of its institutions against the passions and prejudices of the moment. It was on this soil that american patriots held the most vital fortress in our war for independence. It was this school that gave us the men and women who fought and won a bloody war to exten wish the evil of slavery. To cherish our heritage, learn from it, build upon it. That is what Young Americans are taught here at west point. That is the legacy that you Carry Forward as Second Lieutenants in the United States army, and you must never forget it. Pete it was this school who gave us men and women who fought and won a bloody war to extinguish the evil of slavery. The kind of past to remember, not burn it down.

Jedediah religious leaders are suing new york Governor Andrew Cuomo and mayor bill de blasio over reopening plans citing a blatant double standard for religious gatherings as mass protests go unchecked. We have from the Thomas Moore Society council representing the plaintiffs. Welcome to show, this is fascinating case. First of all break down a little bit what the lawsuit says. Were dealing with something quite unprecedented in the history of the new york state and epidemiology the effect to quarantine 19 million. On march 26th, Governor Cuomo says maybe that wasnt the best policy. To quote him i dont even know if that was the best Public Health strategy. Young people quarantining with old people is probably not the best Public Health strategy. As a threshold matter was the lockdown really necessary. Zoo serious argument could be made made it worse. Nursing homes, Long Term Car facilities incubators for the virus the states policy contributed to thousands of deaths, people diagnosed with covid19 positive were locked back into nursing homes. My own father was a victim of one of these lockdowns under governor murphys similar regime in new jersey. What this suit is about, putting aside whether this policy makes sense whether the policy is neutral and generally applicable. In other words, is the state of new york picking winners and losers, favoring some groups over other groups. If thats the case, then the law is clear, that policy has to be subjected to the most exacting scrutiny possible and it has to be very narrowly tailored to achieve whatever interest new york state claims compelling. In this case they claim containing virus, flattening the curve, constantly shifts now we hear we need a vaccine until we return to normal. Our suit says the policy is not neutral and generally applicable and it picks winners and losers. You have a situation talking about outdoor gathers, gatherings of 10 or more are, more than 10 are forbidden under the policy. Can only have gathering of 10, according to the policy. Tens of thousands of people are marching in demonstrations about the death of george floyd which is their right. Its a noble First Amendment cause. Were saying that people involved in religious gatherings should have the same right outdoors. As far as were concerned the toleration, condemnation, even participation of state officials including mayor de blasio and these mass demonstrations eliminates any argument for limit on out door gatherings. What about an indoor limit . Jedediah christopher, right. I dont mean to interrupt but i want to bring up de blasio because you know this double standard was made pretty clear in his own behavior. De blasio went to one of these Memorial Services himself, in the plaza that was packed. That was on june 4th, he is out there saying was condemning churches, religious gatherings were much smaller than the protests he himself or memorial he attended. Listen to de blasio defending protesters. When you see a nation, entire nation simultaneously grappling with extraordinary crisis seated in 400 years of american racism, im sorry that is not the same question as understandably aggrieved person or devout religious person wanting to go back to services. Jedediah christopher, is he what he saying true. That is fatal blunder, saying some speech is more worthy than other speech. Some speech deserves exemption from his lockdown regime, which enforces Governor Cuomos lockdown extreme. He explicitly says, religious speech, he mentions religion is not compelling reason for exemption of the lockdown as the george floyd protest. Game over, seriously. Because he is enunciating regulation of speech. Jedediah yeah. Unfortunately were out of time for today, thanks for breaking this down, well follow the case very closely. It is quite fascinating.

Two people are dead and several people are hurt after two driveby shoot national atlanta. In one incident the suspect fired on a crowd in the edgewood neighborhood. Police are searching for this truck. The picture appears to show a man hanging out of the window pointing a gun. At least five victims are in serious condition. At least four people are hurt in the second shooting. Attacks come amid the atlanta protest over Deadly Police shooting of a black man. Escaped inmate accused of killing a sheriffs deputy behind bars in mississippi. It is unclear where war keen blackwell was found. After blackwell ran off allegedly grabbing a deputys gun to avoid being taken into custody. 77yearold james blair was killed. He served in Law Enforcement for 50 years. He was still working to help raise his grandsons. Griff thank you, griff. A new poll shows 77 of truckers would refuse to deliver to cities with slashed number of come out of fear for their personal safety. Joining us is truck driver and owner of d and d bowen, dale bowen. Thank you for joining us. Appreciate it. First reaction to the poll. A lot of Police Departments have not been dismantled yet, they have not been disfunded yet. The activists want that to happen. Why do you think 3 4 of Truck Drivers say, hey, i want no part going into those cities. Its a safety issue. I mean, if were, were going into these cities and, if something happens, like a, back in the 90s with rodney king riot, Something Like that was to happen that is the issue. Were doing our job. If Something Like that was to happen, we call the law, if they do defund it, cut it in half who will be there for us, us. Pete a lot of drivers the truck is the home. Where they stay. Effectively their safe space in the cities they go into. Who do they call normally . Something goes wrong, if there is break in, who do your officers, who do your drivers call . We call the local authorities. You know. Not just 911. Ive been robbed out here, years and years ago. I called the local police. Nothing they could do about it at the time, but, you know that is who we would call. And, it is just, it is our safety when it comes down to it. Were in charge of our own safety. Im not refusing to go to the cities. Im actually on my way to minn men now minneapolis, when it becomes an issue and i feel like my safety, i will, im not going anymore. I have a family to go home to. I make sure i get home to my family. Pete these cities, people can choose, not always, a lot of time you can choose to live in a city or move out if they defund the Police Department later on, effectively if that is something you can do. As i mentioned before, as a truck driver youre . And out. Do you think this as a huge Economic Impact if truckers say, hey, we just cant deliver . It will. I mean, if it comes down to that, i believe it would. Because, if youre not delivering the goods, the stores are not, the shelves are empty and then, you know, people are going to go to the next town to get what they got to get. They will overcrowd that town and their sales [inaudible]. We have Driver Shortage now. They say, we wouldnt be able to keep up. To keep stores stocked. Pete dale, have you had any delivers are are to the new country inside of our country, chaz in seattle . Any requests for supplies . No. I do go out that way on occasion. I havent been out that way in a while. If i have to go ill go. Like i said, until i feel im threatened with my safety and all, i will continue to do my job. It is what i do. Pete are your drivers authorized to carry a personal firearm if necessary . That is, i dont know, there is a lot to that. Companies, companies can require you not to or you know, and then it is an issue. I think there is a lot of paperwork involved, permits. Some states dont like it. So, most dont, i will say they dont. Im going to say they dont. Pete you will say they dont. That is the right way to play it. Thank you very much for what you do. Truckers on road entire time, whether covid19, unrest in the country, making things happen. Appreciate your time. Thank you. Pete tell ahead with anticop sentiment across the country and Many Democrats asking to defund the police a excop appears on the vp short list. Turns out black lives matter activists theyre not happy about it. Jason chaffetz here to react. Maybe itll help us see just how connected we all are. And maybe. Just maybe, if we look at the big picture. Itll remind us just how amazing freedom really is. They get that no two people are alike and customize your Car Insurance so you only pay for what you need. What do you think . I dont see it. Only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Jedediah the search for joe bidens vp changing course with the nations unrest. Short list reportedly includes democratic congresswoman val demmings a former Police Officer. Pete activists pushing to Defund Police are furious. New york chapter of black lives matter telling the new york post, quote, joe biden would be an idiot to put her on his ticket. People are already on the fence about him. When black people become Police Officers they are no longer black. They are blue. And i have been told this by numerous officers. Griff hear to weigh in Fox News Contributor, former gop congressman, jason chaffetz. Jason, good morning to you. Good morning. Griff so, val demmings, twoterm congresswoman for 27 years went from a beat cop to the First Female Police chief in orlando at a time, that were dealing with now, seems like she would be a Perfect Choice a black female cop. Police chief, no . I served with her in the United States congress. In fact she was on the Oversight Committee when i was chairman. I got to tell you it is a rise from beat cop to become chief of police of a significant Police Department is quite an accomplishment. But this is todays Democratic Party. The Democratic Party will tell you theyre about diversity. Theyre really not they will tell you theyre about tolerance, but theyre not. To simply exclude somebody based on color of a uniform is a ridiculous notion. It is prejudice. It is racist and i think it is wrong but that is todays Democratic Party. They will say one thing but their actions are something total, totally different. By the way, if youre going to put val demming in this position, then i would guess you put senator kamala harris. When youre the attorney general of state of california youre often referred to as the chief Law Enforcement official for that state. They will take those two people off the table because they served in a Law Enforcement capacity. That is todays Democratic Party es. Pete it is, jason. This is the Greater New York chapter it of black lives matter leader sighing this youre not black anymore if you put on a uniform, youre blue. But he also said were on the fence about joe biden. Are they really, really at risk of losing the black lives matter vote if they choose someone who used to wear the uniform even though theyre also black . I guess so. Joe biden has a tough decision because if, he is allin with black lives matter, one much their key policy planks, positions is to Defund Police. At some point america will wake up realize the democrats are serious about this. Democrats have taken a position of defunding i. C. E. , defunding, getting rid of the border patrol. They dont like the border patrol. Now they dont like people because they wear the blue uniform as Police Officers. They want to defund and get rid of them as well. At some point americans should believe democrats. This is the direction they want to take this nation. Jedediah jaws son, when it comes to val demmings, some argued that there were some uses ever unacceptable force under her leadership. I havent gone into his record enough to validate that. That is what im seeing. Who knows. I dont know who biden can pick at this point, who will help him out. He certainly needs the help but i want to ask you about biden in particular this new call he is putting out there for unity. Obviously claiming he is the person best for the job. Talking about the needs that confront systemic racism. Lets take a listen what he had to say, i want to get your reaction. We need real leadership, and we need it now. Leadership will bring everyone to the table so we can take measures to root out systemic racism. Nothing about this will be easy or comfortable but if we simply after how the wound to scab over once more, without treating the underlying injury well never truly heal. The very soul of this nation is at stake. As i said before, that is why im running for president. That is why i stand united with every single democrat behind our mission to beat donald trump and restore real leadership to the white house. Jedediah what do you think, jason . Well, look, joe biden was elected in 1972. I dont know that, were any of you even born in 1972 . The guy is not, he is not the fresh new face that will bring new leadership. If he couldnt get it done in your first 48 years, i really doubt you need a little bit more time to get it done. The things that he said, very racist way about indianamericans, about barack obama, i mean, this guy has a record, i mean, had to drop out of a race because of plagiarism. At some point he will have to get out from behind a script from and talk extemporaneously with somebody else, those debates and donald trump will clean his clock. Pete democrats say he has to escape from his house. Jason, thank you very much. Thank you. Jedediah thanks, jason. Headlines for you now.

Delivery is free within a 75mile radius. The company filed for bankruptcy last month. How did i miss that . That will be a good deal. Cvs says it will no longer lock up Beauty Products for people of color. The drugstore chain joining walgreens and walmart in stopping the practice. Walmart recently made the move after a customer complained locking up items that cater to people of color was discriminatory. Griff, over to you. Griff thanks, pete. Leaders in new york city push the defunding plan that would cut the nypd budget by one billion dollars that translates to 2,000 cops cut from the force. To react gop congressman joe borelli. Good morning to you. Can the nypd suffer anymore cuts . It is not the nypd the ones suffering but also might be the public theyre there to help. 88 of the nypd budget goes directly towards personnel and towards salary and 200 million of this cut as you mention will go towards reducing the headcount from about 36,000 officers to about 33,000 officers. That is going to have an impact on the communities that we serve. And i think progressives need to be very clear with the communities they represent, and tell them what Police Precincts they think are overstaffed . What investigatory units they dont think need to be in existence anymore . Because when Public Safety is a consequence, when crime continues to go up, those are politicians who will be left holding the bag. They are going to own this. Griff lets quickly show you some of the proposed cuts to the nypd budget. Starts with reducing headcount to 25, 2600 cuts. Cutting overtime. Shifting responsibilities away from the nypd. I havent talked to a lot of nypd folks, i talked to a lot of d. C. Police in similar situation this, is crushing morel morale. How big of impact on Public Safety . That is the point. No one wants Police Brutality or unaccountable cops or racism in the departments. Cutting overtime, taking money out of the hands of city employees, not hiring officers, the majority of them who in new york city will be people of color, it is unclear how those things are just a punitive way to punish cops. Dont solve racism. Dont solve Police Accountability issues. They will, number one, take money out of the hands of the Police Department, two, prevent us from hiring more people of color, that do a great job for the nypd, three, we will continue to see rises in crime. Murder is up triple this week over the same week last year. And on the year, it is up about 25 . Same thing with shootings. Were seeing trickling up effect much crime as it relates to police being pulled off of front lines operations and covering for massive protests. Griff wonder if we reached a breaking point for the nypd. Let me show you a pba statement we got from the chairman. Essentially for decades every time a city agency failed at the task the citys answer was take the job away to give it to the nypd the city council wants responsibilities back to the failing agencies, that is their choice. They will hear the blame for every new victim, new yorker who needs help to fall through the cracks. They wont be able to throw cops under the bus anymore. Is this point that it changes . It does. We talk about victims in this city. 94 of murder victims, 97 of shooting vick ills, these are people of color. When you remove some of these fringe roles that the nypd does, both in School Safety and traffic enforcement, when you take them out of the purview of the nypd, put them back into some agency that couldnt manage it in the past youre not doing anything to number one protect the agents and officers and youre not doing anything to basically address the problem of crime. Griff joe, thanks for joining us. Keep us posted what happens in the council. Appreciate it. Coming up President Trump calling for unity during his historic address at west point. Next, you will meet one of the graduates and hear what he thought about the president s message. Tired of clean clothes that just dont smell clean . What if your clothes could stay fresh for weeks . Now they can this towel has already been used and it still smells fresh. Pour a cap of downy unstopables into your washing machine before each load and enjoy fresher smelling laundry for up to 12weeks. You exemplify the power of shared national purpose, to tran send all differences and achieve true unity. Today you graduate as one class and you embody one noble creed, duty, honor, country. Jedediah President Trump calling for unity in his first speech to cadets graduating from west point yesterday. So what do they think of his message . Pete our next guest was there, brand new west point graduate, Second Lieutenant Robert Norwood joins us now. Lieutenant, thanks for joining us. Im surprised youre up this early on first day of freedom, lieutenant, maybe not the best choice. Were glad youre here. Congratulations on your new role. Tell us what it was like to be there listening to the commanderinchief . Thank you, sir. The experience of graduation yesterday was very inspiring. It was a reminder that no matter what other threats face our country throughout its history, that west point continues to do, continues to do its job of graduating lieutenants to serve that first officer roll in the United States army. Jedediah yeah, you know, lieutenant, youre embarking on entering into a world that is unfortunately very divided. We have the you know, the pandemic going on. Many different perceptions how to manage that. There are protests going on around the country. How do you view your job moving forward, managing all this, providing service to your country. How can you most effectively serve this nation moving forward . Cool thing about our job is, that as lieutenants we get to serve the army on the lowest level. When i graduate, are since i graduated idea, i meet a group of about 30 soldiers. So my world, my world is those 30 soldiers. The generals, the military leaders, they decide what battles we fight and how were going to fight them and my job is to care for every single one of those soldiers regardless where they came from, their background, who they are, and to make sure that they can do that job. So thats the like, im going to have the opportunity to build a cohesive, diverse team on that small level. And train those soldiers to support and defend the constitution of the United States. Griff lieutenant, congratulations to you. Why do you want to serve . Did the president speak to that reasoning yesterday . Yes. He did. My personal reason, for serving is the idea that sacrificing ones self for another is the highest ideal to which we can strive as human beings. Hopefully living for someone else potentially that could include dying for, dying for someone else. President talked about that yesterday and he talked about the historic examples of all the different graduates who served our country in various ways that spoke to me especially since one of the key reasons i chose to go to west point, i wanted my service to be as a officer in the army is also because of those graduates and in school growing up, learning about the people who graduated from west point, and how they had served our country and wanting to be like them. So the president is choosing to also talk about those graduates kind of brought the whole experience to full circle for me. Pete lieutenant, what branch are you going into . What your specialty going to be . Armor officer, sir. Pete doing to drive tanks. Where are you going to training first . Go train at fort benning, georgia for a year and my permanent post at fort carson colorado. Pete unsew list at the timed advice, listen to your commander officers. They will serve you. Thanks Second Lieutenant norwood. Go back to bed. Thank you, sir. Pete that is an order.

[shouting] pete we begin with a fox news alert. Protesters set a wendys restaurant on fire in atlanta overnight. Where a black man was shot and killed by police on friday. Griff it comes as hundreds of protesters shut down a city highway over Rayshard Brooks death. The shooting was caught on Police Bodycam a we want to warn you, the footage may be disturbing. Put your hands behind your back. Hey. Stop that. Stop fighting. Much. Stop fighting. Stop fighting. Youre going to get tased. 63. Stop. [gunfire] jedediah brooks was shot and killed after reportedly grabbing a officers taser. The officer who shot brooks, garrett rolfie resigned from the force. The Atlanta Police chief resigned seven hours after the shooting. Griff jenkins breaking down the latest for you. Griff very interesting to see where atlanta goes. The Georgia Bureau of investigation looking into that. It will center on the use of force. Very interesting. We will keep you up to date on that. But you know the one thing that we have seen change and that is, we talked a little bit with ted williams in the last hour. I talked to ted a lot yesterday, because we covered a lot of these things. Up with thing changed. This is difficult time. I want to make this point. Very difficult time to be a police chief in america. Because the use of force which is something that professionals given a lot of thought to, every Police District in the nation is now open to sort of interpretation by the masses. What youre seeing is, a lot of folks politicizing the environment. It looks like, when you saw that police chief in atlanta, erica shields, just immediately turn in they were resignation. Its a very, very interesting time to be in the thin blue line today, particularly running the department. Pete yeah. After what happened to george floyd everything will be scrutinized, right . What happened to him should never have happened but that doesnt make every incident the same. You saw this happen on friday night. The incident where it happened was set on fire saturday night. Police got a call, a man was sleeping in a vehicle in the drivethrough of wendys. Blocking the drivethrough. Two police respond. They do a field sobriety test. Theyre testing to see whether the driver was drunk. He fails the field sobriety test. They pull him out of the drivethrough. At which point they continue to test, find out what is going on. You cant believe a drunk person in a car. What does a Police Officer do . They ultimately seek to make an arrest. At which point a fullon fight ensues, resisting arrest completely. A taser is pulled from the cop. He is running. He pulls the taser on the cop. At which point, we can monday morning quarterback all you want. Do you get into a taser battle. Ask him politely to put the taser down. Police make a splitsecond decision. What if the Police Officer is incapacitated by the taser the now criminal is using . Now his life is on the line. So very easy, you have to walk in the shoes of a Police Officer who is making these calls every night. They dont want to arrest people who are drunk at drivethroughs in wendys. We have law and order. You cant things like that slide. That doesnt mean it qualifies like george floyd does. You get the riots. You get a wendys on fire. Police chiefs resigning. People are fired right away. A lot of Law Enforcement officers say how do i do my job every day, every moment, every action i take is hyper scrutinized, im always the bad guy. Theyre not the same. Jedediah having a lot of questions about Police Training have been brought up and how properly to deal with the situations. When someone does pull a taser on you, how do you respond . What is the appropriate response . Avoid obviously the use of Excessive Force. The question will rise was this use of Excessive Force . What makes these things different in 2020, not only do you have Police Body Cams but you have video that emerges from every angle. People with cell phones. That things are captured. I was able to watch several angles of this video in order to form my own opinion what happened. So that is a new reality that the department has to deal with, that the public has as a tool to its advantage to be able to properly assess the situation, hold people accountable if there was something done wrong. Really see clearly what went on start to finish. Whether that use of Excessive Force was or was not validated in each particular instance. Pete i hear you. The problem videos are not always complete. Were not feeling hearing, we watch a tape, i face a could have, would have, should have. I faced it as platoon leader. Person in the boots with the badge is one gauges level of threat. When you see overt racism. That is one thing. Youre dealing with a criminal taking one of your weapons away it is not very clearcut. Jedediah yeah, no, it isnt. And never, just as a quick point, it never will be completely clear duty but the fact that we are able to have those videos, i mean, imagine, imagine the case of george floyd, if that video didnt exist there are some cases pop up, if you didnt have access to a video a lot of justice would not be served. So that is pivotal right now for what is going on. Youre never in an officers shoes. You cant feel the situation the same way that they do. But these police men and women are trained for situations like this. So we have to be able to trust that the training theyre receive something enabling them not to use that Excessive Force if it is not meant to be used. When you see something on video a lot of people will sit home and say, someone shooting a taser, that taser not deadly weapon. Pete that is for the Police Department to do investigations own internally. Other trained people whether they made the decision. Not people with iphones, saying i would have done Something Differently. That is why we get mob judgment of an officer by people who have no training when the process should be played out. Let the police chief, let the mayor, other people investigate to find out if the proper protocol was followed. Griff keep an eye on what happened in atlanta. There are planned protests already existing before this. A volatile situation. Meanwhile i want to address what is happening in seattle, things in the new republic of chaz seem to be going peaceful as best we can tell. By the way you cant call it chaz anymore, cha, the organizers said chaz was something that someone else brought in detractors brought in. Pete not autonomous anymore, griff . Griff capitol hill organizing protest what chop stands for. Weve been watching now a week, see American Flag being torn from some counter protesters going there. That not a good situation. But certainly telling perhaps of the sentiments and opinions of some protesters. Seeing a little bit of the lord of the flies sort of gathering, pass it around, take turns. One of the protesters, decided this is the way to reach racial justice, listen. I want you to find by the end of, by the time you leave, this autonomous zone, i want you to give 10 to one africanamerican person from this autonomous zone, if you have a hard time giving out 10, you got to think about, are you really down with this struggle . Are you really down with the movement . Because if that is a challenge for you, then im unsure if youre in the right place. Griff correct me if im wrong, handouts were offensive last time i checked. Jedediah yeah. We also have a tweet from seattle mayor, jenny ducker ken saying seattle is fine. Dont be so afraid of democracy. That is the big debate going on right now. What exactly is going on in this autonomous zone . Plus come out and say, listen. We cant get to people within this zone that need our help. That become as huge problem. It is not just about democracy here. It is about justice for a lot of people inside the zone, feel this is not advantageous to them. If there is crime committed. They need access to the police, who are there to serve, they dont have that right now. That really for me is what should be the focus of this. The people inside of that zone whose lives and wellbeing may potentially be jeopardized by the fact that the people have been toll, get lost. Pete that speaker need to get the talking point memo. It is not autonomous zone. Organized protest, whatever they want to call it now, chop. Think about the idea, luna sieve the logic, what well do to fix our perception of systemic raise system, tell every white person in the crowd, video goes on to say, i see your face, taking a record, who didnt pull out the venmo and wallet didnt give 10 to a black person. Reverse racism is the answer for the left. Reparations is the logical extent. Life inside the chop or chaz, cale lib heimlich, Washington State gop chairman, talked about the governor, mayor, impact in seattle. Mayor and our governor, governor jay inslee, want to act, oh, this is all peaceful. Theyre completely ignoring the fact this Police Precinct has been abandoned since sunday this is five days later. The chief of police in seattle has said call times in that area, responding to things like murder and rape have tripled. It takes 18 minutes for a police unto respond instead of five, because they dont have officers working out of this precinct. Mayor duke ken and governor inslee talk about fun and games and weirdoeslarring, this is having impact. Pete 18 minutes doesnt do you any good, in any situation where youre under harm or someone in love is. Totally out of control. Are they capable of ever reining it in . I dont know the governor and mayor. Talking about a summer of love. Well see what happens inside the socialist paradise. Griff seems out of control. Some believe the New York Times is out of control. Senator tom cotton calling out the double standard after the times published oped calling to abolish the police. His oped apparently went too far. Headline in the New York Times oped. Tom cotton, send in the troops. The headline was then, we talked about this oped yesterday, yes, we mean literally abolish the police. Remember they said they want to make it obsolete. Senator tweeting this. Running this column puts lives in danger. Pete remember when tom cotton wrote the oped, which was mainstream idea, hey we might want to call the National Guard if rioters are taking over the city in the country. New york times, editorial board, the staff went nuts. How dare we publish such an oped. The Staff Members in unison running this column puts lives in danger. You have run a column at that says literally mean abolish the police. Tom cotton pointing out the double standard of course that column puts lives in danger because who are you going to call . Not ghostbusters. They aint coming. It is the police and if you abolish them there is nothing left. Griff Call Community servants in place of police. Sorry, jed. Jedediah im not not even clear what you know, these people want anymore because is it abolish the police . Is it defund the police . Then im told defund the police doesnt mean defund the police. Does it mean shift money out from the Police Department to other locations and education . No, actually means abolish the police. Listen, when you want to make something happen in terms of reform, there at least has to be some form of cohesive message. The message im getting these are bunch of disconnected people may have some different ideas. Some legitimate reform is wanted by some. You have anarchists. People are making this a political campaign. I dont really know what is going on. I think that is the most honest description i can give. I think that is what a lot of people looking at. What is the demand for here . Some of it is absolute madness. Some is legitimate. All being bundled together. The loudest voices often the craziest voices ones being heard in most previous learn way around the country. It is very confusing. Pete throw in antifa. Throw in guys who want to tear down every statue including George Washington. The guy wants to give out 10 bucks based on your race. Stops making any sense. Griff real quick it is confusing. The message is clear. The men and women in blue protecting and serving are bad. That is a very dangerous message to embrace in america right now. Pete bingo. They want to tear down the cops, tear down the flag. No doubt about that they at least agree on that. Some states are seeing a surge in covid19 cases. And some are not. What is behind the new trend . Dr. Marc siegel here to break it all down next. Copd makes it hard to breathe. So to breathe better, i started oncedaily anoro. Copd tries to say, go this way. I say, ill go my own way, with anoro. Oncedaily anoro contains two medicines called bronchodilators that Work Together to significantly improve lung function all day and all night. Do not use anoro if you have asthma. Anoro wont replace rescue inhalers for sudden symptoms and should not be used more than once a day. Tell your doctor if you have a heart condition, high Blood Pressure, glaucoma. Prostate, bladder or urinary problems. These may worsen with anoro. Call your doctor if you have worsened breathing, chest pain. Mouth or tongue swelling, problems urinating, vision changes or eye pain, while taking anoro. The most common side effects are sore throat, diarrhea, and pain in the arms and legs. Ask your doctor about oncedaily anoro to start treating your copd. Were here for you during this challenging timeand always. Find support at anoro. Com. [ engines revving ] its amazing to see them in the wild like th shhh. For those who were born to ride, theres progressive. Jedediah welcome back. Many states across the country are seeing a rise in covid19 cases. But even more telling, at least nine of those states are also seeing an increase in hospitalizations. So whats behind the surge . Fox news medical contributor dr. Marc siegel is here to break it down. Dr. Siegel, welcome to the show. Well these states alarmed many, myself included. What should we make of them . Well, jedediah, this is the news today on covid19. It is that 21 states have shown increases in cases which as you say, have alarmed a lot of people but only nine states have shown increased rates of hospitalizations, which is what i look at. That is the thing im most concerned about because as we saw in new york here, if there is a rash of cases that are very sick it overwhelms hospital system. Look at florida to start with. Florida has seen 2500 increase new cases yesterday alone but most of the cases are occurring among young people. There is a lot of testing going on in florida. So there isnt, an increase in hospitalizations to go along with that. We dont want to see the increases in cases. We have to see more social distancing. Two new studies out show masks along with social distancing are key. We have to protect our populations most at risk. Clearly florida has made an attempt to do so in nursing homes. But that has to continue. We have to protect our hospitals. Look by comparison to texas and especially arizona. Arizona concerns me. Because since they have opened up, jed, they have had a problem with protecting the nativeamerican population, nursing home population. There isnt enough Infection Control going on. And again, not enough social distancing going on in some of these gatherings. By comparison, wisconsin has been open since may 13th, over a month. Wisconsin has shown consistent decrease in cases because of responsible behavior in part on the part of the public. Northeast, much less case, much fewers cases. Were seeing the surges in the south and the west now. But we seem to be getting control in the northeast. Jedediah so, dr. Siegel, what should the mayors and governors do . Because, you know is this going to be something dealt with a on a casebycase basis, some states you will see declines, not going to rise up, they will reopen no problem, other states where we surprise reopening has a negative impact and you kind of have to go backward . Is that where were headed . The fear for people, there is no end in sight. Will we go back to normal life . In a place like new york city, i dont know, help us out. That is extremely well phrased by you. We cant go back in time. Well not go to lockdown situations. The country needs to open up, there will be irreversible psychologic and medical damage done. Here is what we need to do, i already said it, protect the target populations. State after state, beginning with new york, has had problems protecting the nursing home population. We must see that we have to have safeguards in place. That involves governors of the states. In arizona we have to protect the native american population. Places with socioeconomic issues, they must be protected by the state health departments. Thank you for being here, dr. Siegel. Well keep an eye on this and responses of the governors, mayors, what not. Appreciate you are intake. Thanks, jedediah. Good to see you. Jedediah good to see you.

Pete wendys restaurant after a black man fatally shot there by a Police Officer friday. 27yearold Rayshard Brooks was shot and killed after reportedly grabbing a officers taser. The officer that shot him now fired. Here to weigh in the last enforcement panel. Miami police chief, george collina. Former nypd. And love land, colorado, police chief robert pride. We have want to start with you. We know the basic parameters of the case in atlanta. There was a call in some one sleeping in their vehicle, in a trythrough in wendys. They did a field sobrietity test. Determined the individual was intoxicated or had some substance there was arrest process being made. There was a fight. Taser was taken. Taser wars pointed at the officer. In your department or any department, what is the proper protocol . Is that legitimate use of deadly force when an officers taser is taken from them an pointed at them . So this is one of those cases where people ghetto view all the different camera angles and they have the clarity of hindsight and they believe its a clearcut incidence where you should not use deadly force because the officers life is not in danger and the subject is running from the officer but, that is not necessarily the case. This is not minneapolis. This is one where you have to take a deep breath. You have to go back, actually investigate, what is the angle of the officer . What does he see right in front of him . Does even know that is the taser still in his hand . Did he have the ability to go to his waistband and get a weapon point it at him. You cant have a kneejerk reaction or arrest someone or fire. Certainly you relief the officer of duty and you bring in an outside agency, perhaps gbi, to investigate so there is transparency. Then certainly, explain what the process is so people can understand. Well bring outside investigators. Well look at every angle, interview people, then determine if the action was appropriate. Not a kneejerk, we want to appease angry folks so well just make a decision. That is not the way that works. Pete chief, not necessarily this instance, set aside this case, if a taser pulled on an officer, is that part of es coolation of force, something deadly force can be used on . Absolutely if youre tased first of all some one already disarmed you. They take a taser from you. They point that taser at you. Lets play this out. What happens if theyre able to tase you . Next step they disarm you from the firearm, shoot an kill you . Again we dont know how these things play out. It is very simple to secondguess or monday morning quarterback the incident when your life, your life is the one in danger. It is not that simple. Pete such an important perspective, chief, thank you so much. Dr. Odom, in this case the officer was immediately fired. No peer review or investigation before the officer was fired. Your reaction to how events have unfolded there in atlanta. First of all, Police Officers never go out to take anyones life, so lets get rid of that right away. So the thing is, once again we go back to splitsecond decisions on what is going to happen. Does a Police Officer want to take life . Of course not he doesnt want to take a life. You have to say it is splitsecond decision. I did a little research. I looked as far as taser. Taser not a weapon or whatever. Then i read this thing that says in atlanta, georgia, they have two different types of tasers. One has projectile. Those are the ones used by Police Officers. The ones used with the projectile are considered a weapon. Therefore, you can use force on somebody, not only that, when it is considered a weapon, you must have a permit in order to do that. So i cant monday morning quarterback. I dont know what ask going on in the officers mind. I dont know what is going on in the defendant es a mind, person accuse the. I dont know what is going through their head. They were intoxicated. All of that i wasnt there. I dont understand. What i mean we look at this, could have happen another way . Of course did we want it to go another way . Of course however, it didnt. Once again this goes back to the splitsecond decision that officers have to make every day when theyre out there. That splitsecond decision can cost you your life. People dont realize that. They think because we put on uniform, were not human, were not doing a job. We doing a job and trained to do the job. It deserves an investigation. We must wait until all the facts come out. As the chief state of the earlier, to relief them from their duty assignments at the time during the investigation is fine. It is something called due process of the United States constitution. Pete sergeant pride for the officers on the beat doing the job right now, is there training what it should be . Do they have the support thats required . How do you do your job with the iphone scrutiny, with the new protest scrutiny . Put us inside the mind of an officer right now. Well, thank you. It is absolutely a challenge. Were in a new day and a new era in Law Enforcement, everything we do, everything we say, is being scrutinized. I think i completely agree with a lot of the points that have been made already in regards to, youre not seeing those things from the officers point of view when youre looking at video, various video angles an bistandarders angles. Not seeing from the officers point of view. Were not inside of the officers mind. All of those things make it difficult for us in Law Enforcement. In regards to training, i personally think right now in the nations history, we are probably the best trained, best equipped that our police force has ever been, however there may be some areas of the country, in some agencies that lack training. I dont know if that is the case here in atlanta. I certainly cannot opine on that. If we look at better training to get better, to include scenario training, much like this incident. It is interesting to see what comes out of this incident and how that crafts further training and perhaps policy of Law Enforcement. Pete chief, real quick, 10 seconds, are you as welltrained and supplied as you ever been there in miami . We currently are but with all the training and no matter how prepared you are, after two weeks of being mobilized it becomes difficult. Pete absolutely. Operational tempo matters big time in environments like this. Chief collina. Oscar owed dam, rob pride, i cant think of better guests. Thanks for joining us. Thank you so much for what you do, wearing the uniform for a all of us. President trump sending a strong message to cadets at west point, telling them that the u. S. Only fights to win. Hear from a new west point grad. So try making it smaller, and youll be surprised at how easily starting small can lead to something big. Start stopping with nicorette. And i recently had a heart attack. It changed my life. But im a survivor. After my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. Its for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. Brilinta is taken with a lowdose aspirin. No more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. Brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. In a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. Brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack. Or dying from one. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Slow heart rhythm has been reported. Tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. If you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. My heart is worth brilinta. If you cant afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. We sacrificed, we bleed and we are willing to die for this unique creation, the United States of america. Pete it is your shot of morning. U. S. Army marking 245th birthday today. The branch formed days before the american revolution. Its first commander, George Washington. That video, the man speaking, Staff Sergeant medal of honor recipient, david belvia, amazing representative of todays warrior generation. Not only celebration today. Happy 74th birthday to our commanderinchief, President Trump. Today also marking flag stay. The American Flag turning 243 years old today. It was adopted in 1777. May it always fly high and proud. Griff, youre sporting a beautiful American Flag tie this morning. Griff thats right. Happy flag day. We have the same flag tie on. It is important, you played that sound bite, pete, coming in. The stars and stripes has been carried into every battle the u. S. Has ever bought. It has been cut up, torn, burned, but she stood firm on mount sirabchi in iwo jima. You can see the monument in washington. She was planted on the moon by neal armstrong. She will continue to be the beacon of hope and freedom for other countries around the world. Worth noting today, remembering those young cadets that just graduated yesterday, to all the heroes that have served under the flag, this is always going to be the land of the free and home of the brave and for everyone else paying attention, dont forget it. Jedediah that is exactly right. Even though you see so Much Division going on around the country right now, i hear from so many people who still respect and love so much of what that American Flag stands for, what it means, what theyre willing to fight for, what their family members have been willing to fight for. So the flag in itself, represents a symbol of unity and peace for so many. On that note President Trump delivered a pretty fantastic commencement address to graduates at west point at this crucial time in our history. Take a listen to what he had to say. Each of you begins your career in the army at a crucial moment in american history. We are restoring the fundamental principles that the job of the american soldier is not to rebuild foreign nations, but defend and defend strongly our nation from foreign enemies. If our people are threatened, we will never, ever hesitate to act. When we fight, from now on, we will only fight to win. Pete isis got that message loud and clear at the beginning of the trump administration. If were going to fight, send brandt new Second Lieutenants and First Sergeants into battle, and privates well give them everything they need and Clear Strategy and and ability to crush our enemies. Had we not taken that approach, griff in previous wars, they go on forever or you dont win them. Then history is changed completely. We had one of the new Second Lieutenants in the audience is arenning to the president s speech, Second Lieutenant Robert Norwood. New graduate. Got up early on his first day, free of west point, to listen what it meant for him. Listen. The experience of graduation yesterday was very inspiring. It was a reminder that no matter what other threats face our country throughout its history, that west point continues to do, continues to do its job of graduating lieutenants to serve that first officer role in the United States army. Pete lieutenant norwood headed to fort benning while it is still named fort benning where he will be an armor officer serving our country. Very cool to see that you throw the hats in the air, it is all done that is a beautiful image. Jedediah congratulations to him and all the graduates. Were really excited for their work ahead and so grateful for everything they do for us every day. We will turn now to some headlines for you in this hour.

Seattle plunged into another day of lawless selfgovernance as protesters mark one week running socalled autonomous zone. Our first guest exposed seattles homeless problem last year. He is taking us into the [inaudible]. Good morning, how are you . Good morning. How are things back in America Today . Griff well you know, i was going to say thing going in chaz. Now they want it to be called chop. Capitol hill organizing protest. Theyre upset about the name now. This is, if it werent so serious what is happening in seattle. What can you tell us . It is becoming more and more tragic by the moment. The name problem is the least of their problems right now. It is really becoming a glorified homeless encam papment, just as the mayor said street fair, or block party but one you might get hepatitis or coronavirus. Residents asking for more tents. Theyre asking for gatorade water. Theyre negotiating with the city for utilities. If you really wanted to end this, the city should stop providing that to them, maybe cut off Cell Phone Service to the area. All they seem to do is tweet about it and lifestream bit. They keep having reports about it, violence and attacks. People were walking through there with American Flags. They were attacked there is constant videos coming out at night. There is a name change seems to be part of a changing narrative where theyre trying to get rid of their old history and say the violence never happened. The armed militants were never here. There is plenty of videos see them trying to stop each other from committing acts of violence, theyre now watching us. Things seem to be breaking down inside of there you can go there during the dave. You can walk around. People are giving out food and protesting but just seems to be nobody is running it. Griff i referenced lord of the flies earlier which is savagery where they will end up organizing themselves but i want to look back, remember occupy wall street. I covered that in new york about a decade ago. Ultimately was sanitation that ended the encampment. Is that how this ends . Or this go on forever, unlike occupy, the encampment, chop, chaz, whatever it is getting support from the mayor and city council . I made that comparison myself many times so far since this began. Its a lot like the occupy movement. Everywhere you see, you see these tents, you see Homeless People walking around. People in various states of drug use. You see graffiti everywhere. The difference between here and occupy movement, the occupy movement, seemed like new york and other cities wanted it to end. Here seems like the city is enabling this behavior to continue. As long as they continue to do that where they provide trash removal services, utilities, anything else these guys need, i dont see it ending anytime soon. Griff that is troubling, ari. Keep us posted. Let us know as things change in chop. Which is what we call it now. Thanks, ari. Have a great day. Griff you too. Coming up a big change in todays nascar race.

Nascar has done a really great job about you know, whole quarantine time and covid time, taking it serious and you know, when we first got back to the back, it was drivers, officials, that was about it.

Pete were halfway through fox friends on a sunday morning, and we given this hour with a fox news alert. Hundreds of protesters shot down an atlanta highway after a black man is is shot and killed by police. We want to warn you, some of this footage could be disturbing. Put your hands behind your head. [background sounds] hey stop fighting stop fighting hey stop griff he was shot and killed at a Fast Food Restaurant after reportedly back in an officers tawzer. Jedediah Jonathan Serrie is live in atlanta outside that wendys restaurant after it was set on fire by demonstrators. Jonathan . Reporter good morning to you. Things are calm right now, but you can see the aftermath of last nights protests. This wendys, authorities say, is a total loss. Now take a look at the video from last night. Authorities say the fire was deliberately set. No one was inside the building at the time, however, protesters were blocking the route, so firefighters were unable to reach the blaze until it had consumed the entire restaurant. At one point protesters moved up to the nearby downtown connector. This is the major northsouth highway through atlanta where interstates 75 and 85 converge for about 7 miles through the heart of the city. The protesters temporarily blocked traffic in both directions. The protests were over the fatal place shooting of rasaturday brooks. Police responded to a complaint that he was sleeping in his car. He failed a field sobriety test, and when police tried to aa rest him, he resisted. Security camera vid are owe shows the man fleeing the police and briefly pointing the taser at one of the officers. You can see the officer drug his gun, fighter at the man who falls to the firing at the man who falls to the ground. The officer who shot brooks has been fired and another officer placed on desk duty as the investigation continues. While there may be debate as to whether this was an appropriate use of deadly force, i firmly believe that there is a clear distinction between what you can do and what you should do. Reporter Atlanta Police chief erica shields resigned after the incident explaining in a written statement, it is time for the city to move forward and build trust between Law Enforcement and the communities they serve. Shields will continue working for the city of atlanta, but the role is yet to be determined. In the meantime, the Georgia Bureau of investigation has been called in to do an independent probe. Right now theyre in the process of piecing together and enhancing all of the videos that theyre receiving both from official and unofficial sources to get an accurate timeline of exactly what went down friday night. Back to you guys. Pete Jonathan Serrie live in atlanta, thank you very much for that overview, sir. We appreciate. You know, guys, at moments like this, people you want to hear from most are Law Enforcement officers, people who have been in those types of tussles, splitsecond situations. We had a great police panel earlier on the program talking about this incident, if your taser gets taken, what is the proper protocol. Heres what some of our experts had to say. Youve got to go back and actually investigate whats the angle of the officer. What does he see right in front of him. Does he even know that the taser is still in his hand, or did he have the ability to go to his weapon . Not seeing it from the officers point of view, and were not inside the officers mind. All of those things make it very difficult for us in Law Enforcement. When we look at this, we say could it is have gone another way in of course. Did we want it to . Of course. However, this goes back to the splitsecond decisions that officers have to make every day when theyre out there, and that decision can cost you your life. Give give yeah, and you know, guys, anytime the use of force ends up in a depth, it certainly in a death, it certainly has to be investigated. Its sad, i think, to see the police chief feeling, erica shields, that she has to immediately resign to keep things from getting worse at a time when, ultimately, as a nation and congress in particular lookings at these standards for the use of force. Because, remember, you cant just do away with any force. If youre going to uphold the rule of law. This is going to be an interesting case that is referred to in determining what the gpi finds out. Well probably see a little bit of this come up in the congressional hearings coming as they try and hash this out. Pete yeah, griff, youre right. Any loss of life you want to avoid, but in this particular case ive heard from a lot of Law Enforcement, if the suspect gains control of your taser and its become a criminal fleeing a scene, it turns it on you. It become withs a deadly force scenario. The officers, you can hear them. Theyre saying youre going to get tased, youre going to get tased. Information a guy who was in his car who they were likely arresting for a dui, he fights them, steals the taser, points it at them. As the officer said, its a splitsecond decision, but i think firing the officer right away you are not judged by a jury of twitter and their perceptions of what an iphone said. Other professionals in the Law Enforcement profession make a judgment, and i dont with like the kneejerk reaction even though we may not like how this went down. Jedediah yeah. I mean, i think an independent investigation is key obviously here. We have many views. The world we live in, the reality that we live in in 2020 is that people do have cell phone cameras. You will be able to see several angles, not just a Police Body Cam which you had access to in the past, but now you have people standing around the scene. Weve with seen many angles of this, not necessarily the view from the officer remains to be seen, but the question is was Excessive Force appropriate, and the investigate will uncover that, and consequences will be faced by those, by the officer and others that were at the scene, other officers at the scene potentially if that is the case. Remains to be seen. In the meantime, there has been this massive defund the Police Movement that weve seen, and theres been several questions about what that means. Does it mean dismantle the police . Got a lot of mixed messaging on that. Senator tim scott has talked a lot about this. Listen to what he had to say. If were going to have a constructive conversation about Law Enforcement in communities of color coming together, count me in. If were going to have a conversation about ways to move this nation forward, count me in. If were going to have a conversation about defunding the police, count me out. Frankly, count nearly all americans out. Why . Because its common sense that Law Enforcement is a necessary and constructive parking lot of order part of order in our nation and in our communities without any question. If youve ever been a victim of a crime, you want the Police Coming to be helpful. Griff now, senator scott jedediah well, i just can i im sorry, i just wanted to say one quick thing. I think in the midst of all this its really important for republicans to have a voice and for that to come from people with leadership positions within the house or the senate. If they want to advocate for Police Reform, do so. Tell us specifically what looks like. If they want to talk about the Important Role of Law Enforcement and what needs to be done to build that bridge with, be present and let people see that the Republican Party is committed to those issues. Be clear. Griff yeah. And theyre going to be clear. Senator scott will unveil his solution to reform the police, itll include funding for more body cams, recruiterring in communities recruiting so that a force looks more like a community it represents. It is going to apply a new version of the standard the use of force. But the sticking point, jed and pete, is going to be qualified immunity over the legal doctrine that shields officers from civil lawsuits. And that video weve been watching this morning, you could term perhaps those officers used appropriate use of force because of the situation that happened with this individual. But yet now under the bill that theyve put forth, they could be liable for lawsuits which would effectively end them financially. Its going to be quite an important point, jed, that both sides weigh in and really get to the correct answer before we get rid of the police either by abolishing them or by making it so difficult to do their jobs, why would they show up in the first place . Pete yeah, theres a policy point in place, qualified immunity, thats an important part of it. But i think the more Important Role, the president does this extremely well, is standing up for the cops. Standing up for Law Enforcement. Standing up for the people that do the most difficult jobs in our societies every cay, evey day. They dont want to be in use of force situations. They dont want to have to use deadly force. So when bad ideas are thrown against the wall, you dont have to stand up and say, well, heres my less bad idea. You can defend the training thats taught deescalation of force which is being taught. Sure, things can get better, but i think sometimes and the president does this talking about law and order if we start just dabbling down the road of displant or defund the police, its lunacy. Let them stand on that hill and let them see who they call when they need help. But the president yesterday was at west point. Talk about people who answer our nations9 11 line 911 line, its the Second Lieutenants that come out of west point. He talked to the can ca departments with a message about our country, our heritage and learning from our past. Heres what the Prime Minister said yesterday. President said yesterday. What has historically made america unique is its durability against the passions and prejudices of the moment. It was on this soil that american patriots held the most vital fortress in our war for independence. It was this school that gave with us the men and women who fought and won a bloody war to extinguish the evil of slavery, to cherish our heritage, learn frit and build from it and build upon it. That is what Young Americans are taught here at west point. That is the legacy that you Carry Forward as Second Lieutenants in the United States army, and you must never forget it. Pete hey, guys, my sense is thats the big difference between what happened in the 60s with dr. Martin luther king and that Righteous Movement to make sure blacks are treated equally in this country, is it was about building on our heritage, building on the promises our founders made that were incomplete when we talked about people being equal in our founding. Today whether its black lives matter or antifa or others, theyre talking about tearing down the statues, reversing america, that america is a bad place. Those are different messages, and i think the president rightfully pointing out that we can build on our history, not burn it down. Jedediah also just a big congratulations again to all those west point aggravated assaults. When they graduates. When they throw their caps up, it fills you with a warm feeling. Congratulations to them and grateful to them every single day.

Several democrats on capitol hill reportedly warning joe biden against releasing a list of potential Supreme Court picks the way President Trump did in 2016. Dick durbin, the Number Two Senate democrat, telling the hill we ought to go back to the regular order of things. If and when vacancies occur, he can look for the very best person at that moment. Here to react, Fox News Sunday anchor Chris Wallace. Chris, before we get to countdown 1945, what do you make of this advice being given to the former Vice President . Well, good morning, griff. Im surprised by it because i know that donald trump and a lot of the people around him thought his decision to list i think it was originally 2025 people of potential Supreme Court nominees once of the things that got him elected. You know, there were a lot of do you wants in 2016, was he a do you wants in 2016, was he a reliable conservative. When he put out his list, it reassured a lot of conservatives, a lot of social conservatives that they could believe in him. But, you know, joe biden playing a lot of identity politics here. On the one hand, he has said im going to pick a woman as a Vice President , and when hes questioned, well, will it be a black woman, he says im not promising that, but i will pick a black woman for the Supreme Court. So hes out there a lot already in terms of what hes committed to. Im a little surprised that Senate Democrats are saying dont put out a list because, to a certain degree, hes already kind of cornered the market in terms of limiting who hes going to pick from. Griff all right. Talk about surprises, chris, ill be at the beach in july, hopefully, and i cant wait to read your new book, countdown 1945, the extraordinary story of the atomic bomb and the 116 days that changed the world. Chris, what strikes me about it is you really are going to paint the picture in this book just how much the countrys changed in the last 75 years. Yeah. One of the joys of this book was that it took me in researching and writing completely away from current politics with all of the bickering, all of the polarization. It reads, i hope, like a history thriller. Yes, we know what happened in 1945, but i take you, you know, as truman is making the decision, the sign i terrorists trying to make sure scientists trying to make sure the bomb would work, the flight crew who didnt know whether or not the aftershocks would knock them out of the sky. But the thing that impressed me the most was the unity of the country. Everybody was pulling together in common purpose. 125,000 people working on the Manhattan Project for over two years from oak ridge, tennessee, to los alamos to hanford, washington, and they all pulled together. They were all involved in a cause, common cause greater than themselves x. As a result, even though they were working, 125,000 people for two years, none of it leaked. Not a word of it ever got into the public. And today if we had 125,000 people working on a secret project to make apple pie, you know that somebody would between this is outrageous, and im going to blow the whistle on it. You know, there was a unity then that, unfortunately, we dont have today, and i think the country is poorer for it. Griff yeah. What a great point. Catch chris countdown 1945 special on fox nation if you sign up for that. You know, chris, it is such a great book and a great, important perspective on things. I want to talk a little bit about the guests you have on today, because one in particular, karen bass, the chairwoman of the congressional black caucus, certainly is going to be an important interview as we really look for answers on terms of what is racial justice, how do we get there. Well, exactly. And were going to be talking to secretary ben carson about the white house view. You know, youve got the white house, the president gave us the first inkling of what he was going to propose in terms of policing reform. Karen bass, the head of the congressional black caucus, has already put out the House Democratic vexer, so well be talking version, so well be talking to both of them. Well get the reaction to Police Shooting in atlanta and then dr. Osterholm on this alarming new spike in coronavirus cases. Griff Chris Wallace, tune in. Thanks for being here. Thank you, griff. My pleasure. Griff still ahead, the incredible gift of an American Hero who risks his life for our country, after the break. Acidic foods; youre constantly weakening that enamel structure. Pronamel repair allows more minerals to penetrate deep into the enamel layer and it repairs it. It is pretty phenomenal. And i recently had a heart attack. It changed my life. But im a survivor. After my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. Its for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. Brilinta is taken with a lowdose aspirin. No more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. Brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. In a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. Brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack. Or dying from one. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Slow heart rhythm has been reported. Tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. If you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. My heart is worth brilinta. If you cant afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. Yeah.

Youll understand a lot of the freedom he does have with it, because i cant with necessarily point out all the things that were a a struggle or harder for us because it just became everyday life. Weve been living this way for 15 years, so to get into a new groove is exciting. Its going to be freeing. He doesnt have to call me as much. [laughter] pete that may be good or bad for the relationship, who knows, right . Could go either way. Its so wonderful to hear. Frank, when you hear stories like this, you know, 15 years living a certain way, kind of getting used to it, and then the opportunity to get true independence, your reaction. Well, listen, hes an American Hero. He waited a long time for a smart home. This house should have been built a long timing ago for him, hes given so much for his country. Over a year ago we sat with the soldiers journey home, a bunch of new york city firefighters, a bunch of volunteers from all over the country, and we put this project together. And we said who are we going to build this for. We saw he and his beautiful wife and his ten children, this guy deserves a mortgagefree smart home, and thats why we came together and built this beautiful house. T just built out of sacrifice, you know . Some of these firefighters lost friends on 9 11 like i lost my brother, and they just want to keep on doing good. And that is exactly what our foundation is all about. Thats why we want to keep on building these houses as always, pete p i always ask everyone to go to tunnel to towers. Org and we can deliver these smart homes for our countrys most in need pete absolutely. All right, corporal and samantha, i was looking at the video and frank confirmed it, you buried the lead. Of theres ten kids too . Yes. [laughter] pete i bet theyre pretty fired up as well. Yes, they are. Theyre very excited. Pete absolutely. Corporal, whats [inaudible] pete go ahead, say again, samantha . I said we lose them around here. [laughter] pete the home came with an intercom. Corporal, thank you so much for your service, and i think, i echo the words of frank. I get chills just seeing you with, hearing the stories, your beautiful kids.

All right, coming up, today marks three years since congressman Steve Scalise nearly lost his life in an ambush shooting.

Jedediah today marks three years since congressman Steve Scalise almost lost his life when a gunman opened fire on a congressional baseball practice in 2017. Pete after being told he may not walk again, the louisiana congressman made a full recovery and went on the play in both the 208 and 2019 games. Griff he joins us now to reflect on his journey along with tennessee senator marsha blackburn. Good morning to you. Boy, ill tell you good morning. Griff reflexion day, congressman. I remember as a reporter the whole nation was pulling for you, and i know you were fighting. What are you reflections this morning as you look back . Well, first, im lucky to be alive, i know that, and i felt the prayers. It was just unbelievable, the outpouring of love and sport from people all support from people all around. It just lifted me up, lifted my family up at an incredibly difficult time because, as you said, we didnt know if i was going to make it through that first night, let alone if i was going to recover, be able to walk again. A lot of miracles, a lot of heroes as well that day. Gods been good to me. Jedediah senator black burnings on that note blackburn, after that horrific incident there were a lot of calls for civility that were put out there, and it seemed as though it could be a unifying moment for people to say, you know what . Its time for us to take a step back and think about how we talk to each other, how we debate these things. Has that really turned out well though . I mean, do you see civility in front of you as much as youd like to . Oh, jedediah, i wish that we did see a turn toward civility and toward reconciliation. And when you hear these calls for defunding the police, for removing the rule of law, for having a lawless society, you know that that is no way to reach civility and respect. And one of the things we have to remember is that our nation and the preservation of the freedoms in this nation have been so well served by robust, respectful political debate. And that is where we should be recenterring ourselves right now. You cannot have lawlessness, you cannot have mob rule. Pete absolutely. And, representative scalise, correct me if im wrong, but it was Capitol Police who were there, ultimately, able to disable the shooter and save lives. This call to defund or dismantle the police, youve got to, you know, youve got an autonomous zone in seattle and, senator, well get your take on them trying to do the same in nashville. But when you hear the call for one side of the political spectrum to say the police are bad, we need to get rid of them, how do you [laughter] how do you deal with that . Well, it really misses the mark of what we need to do the to be making reform to continue to fight for equality and justice while at the same time recognizing that every day there are Police Officers who save lives, who run into the fire in 9 11, who do the he lowic things heroic things. I wouldnt be here if it wasnt for the best of what policing is. As you mentioned, the United States Capitol Police, david bailey and crystal brown are the epitome of what Law Enforcement officers around this country are like in the heroism they displayed. They saved over a dozen lives that day in their heroic actions. And you see that play out. Obviously, if there are bad apples, youve got to root out the bad apples, but recognizing that, by and large, the lions share of Police Officers in this country put on their badge every day and risk their lyes to protect lives to protect us and our communities. Griff boy, thats right, congressman. And we should mention crystal was actually shot as well. Thankfully, survived. Its unbelievable. But i want to ask you, senator, because weve been talking about whats happening in seattle and this group that wants to just get rid of the police among other things, wanting to set up a nocop zone in nashville. We saw that popping up. We saw your governor saying that wasnt going to be tolerated. Where does that stand and what are your thoughts . Peaceful protest is a good thing. But going in and trespassing, rioting, looting, destroying property is lawlessness, and the governor has been very clear that this would not be tolerated. They were trying to go into legislative plaza and set up an encampment. And what there should be is a respect for rule of law and a abiding by the laws. You know, legislative plaza has been used for peaceful protest and for people to address their government, but it is not there for someone to come in and take it over and say were not going to allow police in. You know, im just so grateful that police were there the day that steve was shot and were able to save him and save the other guys. And david and crystal, who were with him that day, did a great job. We should support these police, we should support the rule of law, and we should have civility in our Public Discourse as we discuss these issues and how to address it. Jedediah congressman, one of the things being talked about a lot has been Police Reform and what that could potentially look like. Senator tim scott is preparing to introduce the gops Police Reform bill this week. Many aspects of that, one of which is increasing funding for body cams, penalizing those who do not comply with that, a long list that will be unveiled. Ive long said that the gop should take a leadership role on this, make their opinion herald, make their voice heard and come out strong if they believe in reform, what does that look like. So what do you expect first of all, what do you expect in the bill and, secondly, how do you think this will be receive by the Opposition Party . Look, this shouldnt be something that only one party participates in. Im glad tim scott has actually taken this leadership rule prior to george floyd. This is something that hes been passionate about. I spoke to tim again a few days ago and hes working with a lot of members of congress. Theres republicans and democrats trying to come together to get to a place where we could actually see real reform. This shouldnt be a moment where one party says were going to keep politicizing it and then nothing gets done. Thats happened too many times. We have a moment where we can actually make reforms. And, look, whether a white person, an africanamerican bern walks out their door going to school, whatever theyre doing, if they have an encounter with police, it should end the same way. If it doesnt, thats something we have to look at and see how we can address it. There are a lot of ideas that have been talked about that have support by people across the spectrum. We a ought to be doing that. Not make it a divisive debate. I think after george floyd you saw everybody come together and say that was wrong, and bad cops need to be held accountable like anybody else. Gary give congressman, you see points of disagreement where youre not going to be together like qualified immunity. Well, thats been marsha, you can take that. Yeah, there are that is one of the things that tim has said as he has led our, our work on this. Qualified immunity is a, is not something that has been very thoughtful as he has looked at this. Working and sitting down with Law Enforcement officers which many of us have done and to say a what works, what doesnt work, where do you need additional training, where do you need additional equipment, how do we make certain that you are properly funded and equipped so that you are able to keep the peace and do your job. And that has, that should be a shared outcome by everyone. Griff all right. Itll be something to watch. Thanks very much for joining us today. Thank you both. Great being with you. Griff all right. Lets toss now over to adam klotz. Hes going to the tell us that it is getting hot out there. Adam yeah, youre absolutely right, griff. Were talking about big heat piling up in the middle of the country from now, running you through the weekend can and early into next week. Early morning temperatures already in some of those locations, lets take a look at the maps. 75 degrees in kansas city. So that big cooling of warm air, thats a spot were paying attention to. With that, especially a little farther out west, a large area from nevada, the four Corners Region and up towards and even farther north were looking at extreme fire weather. That is because it is hot, it is dry. 91 in denver today, 106 degrees [inaudible] as you said, it is going to be a hot one across the country here on this sunday. Back out to you. Jedediah thanks, adam. Coming up, one of the top airport spas finding a way to get back to business. Were going to talk to express spas ceo about the companys plan to open coronavirus testing sites. Thats coming up. The first and only full prescription strength nonsteroidal antiinflammatory gel available overthecounter. New voltaren is powerful arthritis pain relief in a gel. Voltaren. The joy of movement. Jedediah you may recognize express spa as one of the top Spa Service Providers in u. S. Airports. But after being shutdown, theyll soon be getting a new look by creating test and screening sites within airports. Lets ask the ceo. Doug, this is fascinating to me. I know these spas very well, ive utilized them myself at times. How is this going to work when people go to the airport . Good morning. Thanks for having me on the show. Is so when we had our spas shut down, our chairman, bruce bernstein, thought about ways to reutilize our real estate. And with the testing deficit in the country, it e presented an opportunity. Well be opening our first Pilot Testing location on jfk, and its targeting mows and airline employees first. The frontline workers the pilots, the baggage handlers, the custodians, tsa agents, customs and border control, everyone who works at the airport to keep this important piece of infrastructure going can insure they have a lower risk environment, and also it helps the public return as the economys starting to recover with confidence. Jedediah its actually a, its an incredibly brilliant idea that you decided to make that transition. Im in awe of that, actually. [laughter] when i saw it, i thought, wow, thats brill quantity to do that. Brilliant to do that. Are you working with doctors . Are you working with the cdc . How can people be sure this is the same type of testing theyd get at a medical facility . Yeah. Were the Largest Health and wellness provider in airports in the u. S. , but we dont have doctors on staff. I brought on a medical director and other advising doctors that have set us up. Itll be run by m. D. S for each location in the country and Nurse Practitioners and medical staff. So the tests that were offering will be the pcr nasal swab test as well as the blood antibody tests. Well be send ising them to outside labs and then bringing the results back for the workers. Jedediah remind us of the launch location and date and also if there are any plans for a second location. So our first location will be at jfk terminal four, new york city is one of the harold hit areas in the country hardest hit areas in the country, specifically queenings. It seemed like a fitting place to start. Were also talking to the port authority, new york and new jersey, on feasibility for their other airports in the region as well as other major airports. We want to get the first pilot off the ground over the next week or two and then be able to roll it out confidently around the country. Jedediah thanks so much, doug, for being here. Cant wait to check it out and see how it goes. Appreciate it. Thank you very much for having me. And one other thing, the data that will come from this will probably be very useful for the cdc and other agencies as well as we track this virus. Thanks a lot. Jedediah awesome stuff.

Today marking one week of seattles copfree zone, the autonomous zone, formerly known as. Occupiers demanding the citys Police Department get defunded. Griff in atlanta protesters shut down a highway after a black man is shot and killed by police overnight demonstrators hitting the Fast Food Restaurant on fire where one was killed. Jedediah Jonathan Hunt is live from seattles copfree zone but first we begin with jonathan spe rry in atlanta joining us live outside the burned down wendys restaurant. Jonathan . Reporter good morning to you. Behind me you can see people are trying to clean up the debris of this restaurant that authorities believe was totaled last night. Take a look at the video. They believe this fire was deliberately set, happened during wide scale protests. No one was inside the building at the time, however protesters were blocking the route, so firefighters were unable to reach the blaze until it had consumed the entire restaurant. At onetime, one point, protesters moved up to the nearby downtown connector. This is what we call the major north south highway that goes right through downtown atlanta. It is where interstate 75 and 85 converge for about seven miles before splitting off in their various directions, north and south of the city. They temporarily blocked traffic in both directions along the downtown connector, so you can imagine the disruption to travel that took place there. The protests were over the fatal Police Shooting of Rayshard Brooks. Police responded a complaint that the man was sleeping in his car and blocking the wendys drivethru lane. Authorities say he failed a field sobriety test and when police tried to arrest him he resisted at one point grabbing an officers taser. Security camera video shows the Man Fleeing Police and at one point briefly turning around pointing at what officers say is the taser at the ePolice Officer the officer is seen drawing his guns fires at the man who falls to the ground and city Officials Say the officer who shot brooks has been fired and another officer who responded to the scene has been placed on desk duty as the investigation continues. I do not believe that this was a justified use of deadly force, and have called for the immediate termination of the officer. Reporter Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms also accepted the resignation of her police chief, erica shields, resigned shortly after the incident explaining in a written statement it is time for the city to move forward and build trust between Law Enforcement the communities they serve. Chief shields will continue working for the city of atlanta although her role is yet to be determined. Also the Georgia Bureau of investigation which is often invited to conduct independent probes if theres a Police Shooting or some difficult investigation, they are now involved, theyre piecing together all of the video that theyre getting from not only Police Sources and private surveillance but also individual residents who shot the incident on their cell phones, enhancing the video and trying to get a more accurate playbyplay of exactly what unfolded on friday. Back to you guys. Griff Jonathan Siri in atlanta thanks very much now lets get to Jonathan Hunt who joins us live from seattles copfree zone as they are in their seven th day, jonathan good morning. Reporter good morning to you, griff. This is the entrance of what you can see is called free capitol hill or otherwise the capitol hill occupation protest as it is now being renamed from chaz, and i want to take you in here to give you a real look at whats going on here. Across to my right is one of the donation centers, free food and drinks and supplies being given to the hundreds who are spending the night out here, across to our left as kyle spill s around youll see one of the tent zones they have set up and thats where a lot of people are staying overnight. Those who want to be here for every minute of every day as long as this protest goes on. Along the floor here, about a full block long, difficult for you guys to see what it says but i can tell you it spells out this mural black lives matter and up to the right, just past the traffic light you can make out a blue tent and that is the Police East Precinct where the protesters and Police Clashed just about a week ago. The scene of some pretty intense clashes and thats the precinct that the police eventually left and that is of course when these protesters moved on to declare it initially an autonomous zone and now an occupation protest zone and these protesters say this is theres. Theyre staying here and at the moment that does not appear to be the political will from jenny durkan, whose the mayor of seattle or governor jay insley of Washington State to move them out so at the moment these protesters seem to have this area as they want it. We have seen overnight and youve probably seen on twitter a couple of snipits of video of skirmishes. This is 99. 9 being a peaceful protest and these protesters want it to be that way and well see how long the authorities are willing to let them stay here. Pete wow. Griff Jonathan Hunt, great insight there. Pete make sure you get your passport stamped on your way back out of this new country, jonathan thank you so much. I wonder also if you give up your citizenship to the United States you still get your Unemployment Benefits . Maybe thats how theyre protesting there, just asking the questions. Lets bring on dan bongino who will answer some for us Fox News Contributor former nypd officer former secret service agent. Dan we want your take on both spots well get back to seattle but when it comes to atlanta, youve made some comments about it last night. Ultimately these cops are called to the scene because a vehicle is block the drivethru, they think hes intoxicated and they try to make arrests, he resists arrest, and they say verbally, im going to tase you, and by my look at the video it looks like the suspect fired it. In this case what do you make of how officers handled the situation and how leadership handled . Lets get out of the way first obviously a man died. Thats tragic nobody wants to see that whether its on the police side, the community side, we get that. Having said that we always ask the question when it comes to Law Enforcement issues for people who are sadly ignorant of them many of who havent lived in the shoes of a Law Enforcement officer themself , well what would you do whats your suggestion . So you have an individual suspected of being intoxicated, may, may not have been i dont know the results of the sobriety tests so hes intoxicated what do you do . Just let him go . Get him back in the car and mow down a family on the streets if hes potentially drunk so lets eliminate that as a bad idea so now we can all agree we dont want a driver. Liberals are watching, can we all agree on that . Okay we can, the same people on this panel so you have to arrest him, okay . So now youre going to arrest him and the subject clearly does not want to be arrested. Okay so lets walk through what do you do . Well again we cant let him get back in the car so we have to arrest him using force. Keep in mind, pete, not force the Police Officers wanted. They dont initiate it. The subject did. Okay so what do you do then, he punches you in the face . Clearly we just walk away oh, so were not enforcing resisting arrest so now if you dont want to be arrested just punch the officer in the face . Again you understand how the left, this is not a good or bad, its all bad. The guy died. Its bad. This is whats the bad or worse choice, and the bad choice was to have to engage in a use of force episode with this individual who pointed a taser back at a Law Enforcement officer he had just punched in the face. Okay . It wasnt a good option to have to engage with your firearm. There were no good options. Hes dead. There was a bad and a worse option and the worse option is to let this subject continue to engage in use of force against them, without stopping the episode, sadly it resulted in his death but make no mistake the use of force was controlled by one person. The individual who resisted arrest, stole the weapon, ran away and then pointed it at the officers which is clear on the video, and listen one more thing. Im not taking anything from any , i know they watch this show and they jump on their, from their smores roasting in their basement and never been in Law Enforcement their whole life. I was the first one i think one of the first people on this network calling out the episode with george floyd as a gross abuse of force and ill continue to do so and so will the good cops out there but ive got to tell you nothing good came out of this yesterday but you jumping down these cops and firing them without looking at it, through a sane lens and saying what would i have done . Its just plain wrong and youre not going to develop any respect by doing that either. Jedediah dan, i have an honest question for you though this is just a genuine question as someone who has not worked in Law Enforcement but is there, there has been a lot of talk about retraining police, or modifying their training. Is there something that could be instituted in Police Training that were not doing that could help officers deescalate a situation like that, where someone isnt pointing a gun at them, is pointing a taser to prevent them from the use of Excessive Force in a situation like that where they feel like they can protect people and they can protect themselves but they dont have to go that route. Is there something in the training that could make a difference . Well yes, there are. Listen we need to as Law Enforcement, i said this last night on the judges show and ill say it again i mean this from the bottom of my heart we have to do better. We are responsible for peoples lives and their freedom, jed its the most awesome power in the world. We cant have a bad day. You cant go to work in a bad mood in Law Enforcement take it out on anyone else. And ruins it for the good cops out there. Whether theres a training we can implement to do that, im not sure, i dont claim to be an expert on social psychology here with Law Enforcement. Sometimes people have a bad day and they make bad decisions. We dont have the luxury of doing that. Having said that, on the use of force, these deescalation is the new buzzword of the time. Remember the use of force in that scenario yesterday and in the overwhelming Majority Police use of force is not controlled by the cop. Its controlled by the subject. The subject is the one that chooses the escalation. Pete dont resist. Dont resist arrest and none of this would have happened. Think about it, jed. Someone said i think i heard one of the lawyers say last night, well we need to use an equal amount of force or said something to that effect. Really . So just to be clear, again thinking this through like sane people on this panel. So subject pulls a knife, you have to pull a knife and get in a knife fight . He pulls a taser you get in a taser war . The reason Police Officers are allowed to use an equal or superseding amount of force is to stop the subject from escalating not to kill them. That is why we have a use of force continum. Dont buy into this , well he only had a taser. Well Police Officers are trained to use a taser in a nonlethal manner. Not a subject who just beat up two cops punched them in the face and may be intoxicated. It looks like he discharged that taser he could have shot the guy in the face which Police Officer s are not trained to do. This is important. Details matter. Griff dan, talk about use of force, its unclear what will happen to the encampment formerly known as chaz out in seattle. Those protesters clearly making it clear that they are there to stay, whether or not they will have to be removed is yet to be seen but you mentioned doing better. If you want to do better, dan you load up your car with gatorade, cigarettes and pizza and drive it out to the protesters who are now running short on supplies and here is their solution, dan, to how to solve Racial Injustice. Listen. I want you to find, by the time you leave this autonomous zone, i want you to give 10 to one African American person from this autonomous zone. If you have a hard time giving up 10, you got to think about are you really down with this struggle . Are you really down with the movement . [applause] because if that is a challenge for you, then im unsure if youre in the right place. Griff dan are you down with it . Yeah, this is the hallmark of every cultural revolution, right . Its treating people unequally so just to be clear, you want someone who actually worked for their money, who did nothing wrong, to anyone else to turn over their money to someone else, who didnt work for their money, based on the component of their skin and tell me that thats not inherently racist. This is why cultural revolutions always fell, griff. Davis hanson did a great segment on this. They cant meet their own standards and it failed with me too now that theyve abandoned joe biden and itll fail with this too. Thats why every Single Person in hollywood is going to eventually go down to this. Anyone who held a gun in a movie or played a cop is going to wind up going down in the long run because they cant meet their own standards. Griff we shall see dont hold your breath but good points dan. Pete thank you, dan great to have you this morning. Thank you, guys. Griff coming up seattle protesters with police in the citys autonomous lawless zone but if you are in the media its nothing more than a street festival, howie kurtz breaks it down for us, next. Its more like a be test diplomat rnc street festival of sorts, theres couches in the middle of the road and gardening taking place. The autonomous zone turned into a almost street fairlike atmosphere with free food, art displays and outdoor movie nights. It sort of looks like a street festival. Look behind me. You can see all these people in the street. Griff many in the media down playing seattles copfree autonomous zone as just a street festival but is that a fair analysis . Lets bring in mediabuzz host howie kurtz to shed some light on that coverage, good morning to you. Good morning, griff. Griff what do you make of this . Is it coachella or is it Something Different . Well its certainly not a festival. I mean, i have really been struck in reading the accounts of this how so many in the media are painting the autonomous zone in seattle as some kind of summer of love, hate ashbury 1967 kind of situation and whats being left out and by the way the report you just aired about it is 99 peaceful and im grateful for that was very fair, but being left out as the police chief has been staying in interviews and some have reported this and many brushed it off that when problems emerge , the response times for the police to be able to get there and deal with it is about triple of what it be normally and the fact that, you know, the police have seeded this six or seven block area to the protesters. It just seems to me that the media, many i should say are invested in the notion that this is just a moment for the city of seattle and obviously the police have voluntaryly seeded control of that area. Griff that police chief carmen best seems to be pleading while the mayor out there jenny durkan seems to be supporting them and it doesnt seem like theres a good resolution to that but i want to talk to you about what youve got coming up today and that is a crisis in journalism particularly looking at the social justice worries versus true journalism. Yeah, thats exactly right. Mediabuzz well be talking with Chris Wallace and other guests as well but what i do see is a full blown crisis because you hear complaints about liberal bias for years and youve covered it once or twice on this program but what i see now is in news room culture that doesnt want to allow opinions on the other side to be aired. We had the incident with the New York Times that led to the ouste r of James Bennett over that tom cotton oped, just you know, because there was a revolt in the news room that said we dont think there should be published even online. You had the editor of the inquirer being ousted over a headline that was apologized for and a lot of this started with the negative coverage of candidate trump and President Trump and this is bigger than trump and his presidency but a lot of journalists said well we have to put aside the old rulebook because this is just too important, trump must be stopped hes a danger to democracy and all of that. Once you take that step, then when it comes to racial matters which are difficult to cover, when it comes to protests, it is easy to say well the agenda should come first and i dont believe that. Griff all right howie kurtz, tune in today the crisis in journalism with Chris Wallace , very important to watch 11 o crock here on fox news. Thanks, howie. Appreciate it. Griff a big change in todays nascar race on fox for the First Time Since the coronavirus lockdown fans will be in the stands most from the military.

Pete Staff Sargent david bellav ia medal of honor recipient amazing spokesman and representative of the post9 11 generation in a video from the u. S. Army that it is its 245th birthday today, happy birthday, the branch formed days before the american revolution. Its first commander was none other than George Washington. Our commanderinchief also celebrating his happy, his birthday today, happy 74th birthday to President Trump. Happy birthday, mr. President.

Happy birthday to all three. Griff a hat trick indeed, and that flag and speaking of true patriotism, nascar fans making their return to the grandstand today in the dixie vodka 400 including up to 1,000 Service Members. Jedediah you can catch the action at 3 30 p. M. Eastern on fox and joining us now is nascar team owner, richard child ress. Welcome to the shelf many really really excited today for 3 30 so tell us what we can expect. Well good morning to all, thank you, and what a great day with all of the great birthdays, i have a new grandson, just great grandson that just came today so im happy for that. Pete congratulations. At our race today youll see a great race but first of all, nascar, we cant say enough about them bringing back Live Entertainment to all the fans, sports fans, and today to have our military, to have our military that fights for us and gives us rights, but on this show, to be our first fans back at a sporting event says so much for this country. Pete richard what can other sports learn from nascar about how its been able to get back into live sports, you even got people in attendance today. Other sports not seeming to get off the starting line. You know, i think the biggest thing is nascar has followed all the guidelines. They are very strict on the screening, the masks, the distancing and itll be interesting today to see the fans. This could be the new normal that were going to see at a lot of events, concert, ballgames, racing. We still got to be very responsible in these times because this isnt just going to go away. We got to be very responsible. Griff richard let me ask you, do you feel like nascar did bring things together . Liked toes race in homestead, youll have floridas Governor Ron Desantis waving the green flag, youve got Jimmie Johnson as well.

President trump we are entrusting you with the most nobel task any warrior has ever had, the privilege to carry out, the task of preserving american liberty. As long as you remain loyal, faithful and true, then our enemies dont even stand a chance. Our rights will never be stolen. Our freedoms will never be trampled. Our destiny will never be denied , and the United States of america will never be defeated. Griff the president charging those 1,100 new graduates cadets now Second Lieutenants given their mission which is to preserve liberty, quite something i want to bring in now sarah sanders, Fox News Contributor and former White House Press secretary to find out, sarah, it was quite a hope enter what do you make of the president s address . Good morning. You know, i thought the president did a great job calling out the evils of racism and also talking about the country coming together and reminding so many people what america is all about, and that some of those individuals sitting in that crowd represents the very best of america. Those that are willing to put their lives on the line and in some cases, pay the ultimate sacrifice to keep us free, to give us liberty, and to live in this great country, and i thought it was a great speech. I thought the president rose to the occasion yesterday and did a great job delivering a message that all americans needed to hear not just those that were in attendance yesterday. Pete absolutely, sarah all the Second Lieutenants will be wearing the American Flag patch on their shoulder the flag was flying that day. The president talks about being proud of our nation, and of that flag, but right now were in quite a moment wherein seattle, youve got an autonomous zone, youve got protests, riots across the country, and in one instance in particular in seattle, youve got a protester there walking through the streets with an American Flag. Its ripped down. You know, weve heard about tear ing down statues, renaming bases, but it all seems to come back to the flag. What is it about the flag to the left, to the haters of the president that makes them reject it so much . Thats a question youll have to ask them because i couldnt understand that, and i cant fathom people out there saying that they all support freedom and liberty and justice, because to me thats exactly what the American Flag stands for , and the fact that those individuals wanted to go and rip it from another american s hand, when the whole idea is coming together as a country, loving one another, i think that we saw unfold this way exactly what they really want. They really only want people that think like they do, talk like they do, and sound like they do. They love the idea of people coming together as long as they come together with the exact same ideas that they have, which is the opposite of what america is all about. That is the beauty of this country is that we can have different opinions, different ideas, and that we can come together and still live in this great country, and the idea that those individuals wanted to rip that flag from another persons hand, i think took away from the message that the point of the protests are supposed to be about and i think that weve seen a lot of these peaceful protests take place across the country and they have brought awareness and a lot of things to the forefront for us to have an presenter conversation but what were see ing in seattle is not that at all. Jedediah yeah, sarah one of the things that has been brought to the forefront is the problem that exists with a lot of this local Political Leadership that hasnt done their job. Weve seen that in seattle and elsewhere in particular though with seattle, this is a tweet from the mayor, that seattle is fine. Dont be so afraid of democracy. Now, to say seattle is fine is utterly absurd if you see whats going on with this ad zone, but it also exists in contrast to the police chief carmen best who said listen, its not fine. We cant get in there. If theres someone who has an emergency and needs the polices assistance, we cant get to them in time, and that involves things that could be as bad as rape or murder or violence or theft or whatever it may be so whats going on with this local leadership . Look, i think that the mayor is shown to be a disgrace and being very dishonest in the fact that her city is not fun and its certainly not under control and it seems to be just pure chaos. I think people have a right to come out and peacefully protest. People have a right to be angry about what happened to george floyd and people should be able to talk about that. They shouldnt be able to take over entire city blocks shutting down businesses, shutting down Police Departments, just because they dont like something. Thats not how its supposed to work and she needs to take control and some ownership of her city, let people do their jobs, let businesses function. They have pure chaos running in that area across six city blocks in seattle, and it is totally out of control. We have to be a country of law and order and i think we are see conversations take place elsewhere, but certainly not in seattle. Pete sarah they tied their own hands because they say they are with the protesters but ultimately if they want to regain control they need the cop s to do it but theyre against the cops because the protesters are against the cops and so nothing happens and youve got autonomous zones, real quick. And lets not forget that a lot of the Police Officers are African Americans. They say that they champion black lives matter and a lot of us lets not forget david dorn a retired Police Captain in st. Louis killed during the protests they really care about what is taking place, they will coming together and they will have a conversation and that mayor has got to take control of that city because what is happening right now should not be happening and it is a disgrace to the real voices and the Real Movement of people that are trying to make things better. Griff its a great point sarah yesterday i was talking about david underwood, the oakland protective service Police Officer shot, where is the outrage over that . Sarah sanders thanks for joining us. Pete thank you, sarah. You bet. Thank you, guys. Griff turning to your Headlines Police found the idaho property are her missing kids. They disappeared in september.

Jed . Jedediah wow. Were going to head to adam klotz for some weather with hopefully good news. I see sunshine peaking out over there so its a good sign i hear , adam. Yeah, its going to end up to be a really nice day, by and large across the country. Theres a couple of trouble spots were tracking a little bit of rain and we certainly are going to be talking about a whole lot of heat lets talk about those numbers already early this morning where were dropping in some cases only down into the 50s other cases as warm as 77 degrees in kansas city, as we speak, so a lot of heat really pooling into the middle of the country, with that weve got widespread fire danger across nevada stretching into northern arizona, but through the four corners and over to kansas and areas of north texas and oklahoma, so these are all spots where the humidity is really low, those temperatures are high and with the wind, any sparks could ignite and were talking about fires in those regions so if you live there, be careful through today with any kind of barbecuing youll be doing because the weather otherwise is looking really good 106 degrees yes its hot in phoenix, 91 in denver, 92 in rapid city and 93 degrees in kansas city so really warm air pooling up in the middle of the country and as i get ready to toss this back to you looks like a fairly nice sunday, just maybe nicer if you have a pool to jump into and cool off.

The president is very interested in something on the order of at least 2 trillion with a bulk of that focused on bringing home our manufacturing base. Griff here with more is sunday morning futures host maria bartiromo, good morning to you, maria. Maria hi guys how are you . Pete good morning. Griff good, so you think we heard from Peter Navarro there, are we going to get another bill here soon . Maria you know, i think theres a real consensus, certainly among the republicans that they want to see how the cares act plays out, how the cares act really has an impact before committing to more money, but i think what peter hits on is really important and that is the manufacturing part of this. The next phase of stimulus is going to include some incentives , not only for the real troubled Industries Like hotels, restaurants, they are going to get tax incentives for sure because thats where the next stimulus money is going to be moving, but in addition to that youre going to see some incentives for companies to move their supply chains out of china we do not want to be in the position that we were a couple of months ago in the middle of the pandemic where we need so many important active ingredients for our prescription drugs and we are reliant on a foreigner that is basically threatening us that they wont send the drugs when we need them , so i think its a pretty clear acrosstheboard agreement that theres way too much reliance on Foreign Countries for the production of some of those very important things that we need like the 70 of active ingredients in prescription drugs that are currently made in china. Thats going to be in conversation in terms of the stimulus but were going to talk with larry kudlow in the next hour, the president s point man on the economy, chief economist there talking to us about the stimulus and where we are. Remember last week we heard from the federal reserve, fed chair jay powell saying that its going to be a long road, Interest Rates are going to stay near zero for at least the next couple of years into 2023 and that some people will not be able to go back to the jobs that they had. Its industrybyindustry, some industries are faring a lot worse others are okay look at the stock market even with that 2,000point selloff on thursday theres several areas of the smart near record highs so well get into that in the next hour with larry kudlow and also want to speak with the gop leader Kevin Mccarthy is going to talk about all of this unrest across the country and what should be done about it and this upcoming week is going to be important there will be legislation on policing, introduced this upcoming week kevin will walk us through that Kevin Mccarthy and then weve got rick grenell, whose been declassifying so many Important Documents of the origin of the russia probe to educate everybody in terms of what we went on, senator ron johnson is working on the investigation into the transition it was anything but a transition of peace from the Obama Administration to the trump adminitration and hes going to tell us all about that investigation and then senator kennedy just had one of his bills passed on china keeping china accountable and that is going to be about companies and the capital flows in america from chinese companies, so well talk about all of that coming up weve got a lot coming up and we will have breaking news from all of the above this morning.

Jedediah as we celebrate flag day this morning we are learning how to properly fold old glory along with the significance of each fold. Pete love it here to show us how its done Kerrie Lawson and fellow members of the Saratoga National cemetery honor guard association, thank you so much for joining us we really appreciate it. We love having you, so treating the flag with respect, part of it goes with an understanding of what the flag means and why its so special. Talk to us why you preserve this tradition of folding the flag properly. Well, the flag is a symbol of our country and the country is what the veterans fought for for so many years, but going back to the revolutionary war so treating it properly is just tradition, honor, and respect. Griff and kerry, this flag day is certainly an important one as the nation is so divided, maybe this is going to give us some purpose, and certainly, youre bringing that to us this morning. Do you want to give us a demonstration and show us how to do it . We would love to do that. Ready . Pete go ahead and take it away. Absolutely. The flag folding ceremony represents the same religious principles on which our country was originally founded. The portion of the flag denoting honor is the canton of blue containing the stars representing the states of our veterans served in uniform. In the armed forces of the United States, its a ceremony of retreat, the flag is lowered, folded in a triangle fold and kept under watch throughout the night as a tribute to our nations honored dead. The first fold of our flag is a symbol of life. The second fold is a symbol of our belief in eternal life. The third fold is made in honor and remembrance of the receipt van departing our ranks. The fourth fold exemplifies our weaker nature as citizens trusting in god to whom we turn for divine guidance. The fifth fold is a tribute to our country. The sixth fold is for where our hearts lie. It is with our hearts that we pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of america. The seventh fold is a tribute to our armed forces, for it is they who protect our country against allen eanys. The eighth fold is tribute to the one who entered the valley of the shadow of death. The ninth fold is a tribute to womanhood, for it is through them that our characters men and women have been formed. The tenth fold is a tribute to father, for he too has given his sons and daughters for the defense of our country. The 11th fold in the eyes of hebrews citizens represents the lower portion of the seal of king david and king solemon. The 12th fold in the eyes of a christian citizen represents an emblem of eternity. At the 13th and final fold, the flag is completely folded and the stars are uppermost, reminding us of our National Motto in god we trust. When the flag is completely folded and tucked in, it takes on the appearance of a tap, ever reminding us of the soldiers who served under general George Washington and the sailors and marines who served under captain john paul jones, who were followed by their comrads and shipmates in the armed forces of the United States, preserving for us the rights, privileges, and freedoms we enjoy today. Pete kerry lawson and the Saratoga National cemetery honor guard association. God bless you for reminding us of our first principles, and maintaining our traditions in this great country.
