Transcripts For FOXNEWSW FOX And Friends Sunday 20200628

Media platforms are not used to encourage riots. Welcome to fox friends on this sunday morning. A lot of things going on including desecration of statues including chop. Welcome, everyone. Till with be a packedded four hours. Pete we dont have details on the shooting in louisville. Well get them to you as we get them this morning and bring them to you. Griff, big news you look at Lafayette Square and rioters and people desecrating monuments, to hear charges being brought there, a welcome sign for people that feel law and order is lacking. Griff very much so. This is the center of attention as the president trying to take actions with a executive order. The task force created by attorney general barr but these should arrests should send some signal, americans are looking at coast to coast. They want a sense of balance when it comes to law and order. This offers that, jed. Jedediah that is exactly right. Lets look to hope up what is going on in chop. Weve been talking about that a lot. Police obviously have been kept out of that area. It has been a huge issue but today those barriers are set to come down of the problem is that hundreds of protesters are remaining in the area. It has been shrunk down to three blocks but many of the protesters are refusing to leave. Obviously the question on everyones mind is what is going to happen here . Will the protesters leave . Will the police be allowed to function in the area . Will there be a zone where peoples First Amendment rights are maintained but at the same time, there is a safe area that is preserved for people, their families their businesses . Many of those people have been unable to operate safely out of fear if they need help or assistance from the police, the police chief made it very clear they have not been allowed entry to that area. Pete chop, we barely knew you. Short of u. N. Recognition of your own country. Here is what the seattle mayor saying about the future of chop. There is ongoing negotiation. They say it will be removed today. Well see. Removal of chop allows access by police and keep art, Community Gardens inside of chop long term. Provide social services in the protest zone. Encourage those living inside the chop to leave. I dont mean, griff, to bust their chop but you might say, see tshirts i started an autonomous zone and all i got was this lousy Community Garden. Does this end with a fizzle . What does this represent . Does it actually end today . Griff here is the problem. Im not sure either. No one knows. However in the list you missed addressing the prize captured flag if you will that these protesters unlawfully took. That is that Police Precinct in the center of it. That is why House Minority whip steve scalise, last night on justice with jeanine said this is not acceptable. Listen. Some of these mayors that allowed or encouraged lawlessness, flatout lawlessness in their streets, watching some parts of their city in seattle being taken over. People randomly tearing down things and burning down cities with the mayor just in some cases disbanding the Police Station so they could be burned down. This has got to stop. If you look what President Trump has been very vocal about reestablishing law and order. Where the governors need help, he is sending in National Guard to back them up to take their cities back and some of these mayors are letting it happen. Griff fine to take to the streets peacefully and demand the rest of the planet follow their ideology. However it is an entirely different thing when we allow, that is what scalise is talking about, that to be shoved down the throats of Police Precincts around the country. Finally were starting to see a little bit of a backlash. Although. Let me tell you, the demand for idealogical purity certainly incrossing on College Campuses, jed. Jedediah yeah. I mean the interesting thing about chop, although it is localized in one area the whole country is watching. Agitators are watching. People who are concerned for their own communities are watching. Theyre looking at it, saying how has the Police Responded . How has local government responded . What has the mayor done . What has the governor done . Do these places survive and how they break down if they do break down . Is there violence . What happened to businesses in the area. This is one locality in the country. There are many cities that possess the same ideologies around the country where this could potentially happen. A lot of people around the country have been plugged in. That is why so many people fled cities as of late and gone into the suburbs. Theyre saying you know what . This could be my city. I have similar political ideology in my city. I dont want to be in an area like that. I think it led to a lot of changes throughout the country. Pretty interesting to watch. Pete a lot of hypocrisy as well. Well talk about it this morning. In minneapolis they voted to defund the police department, two of the three city coins members have private security funded by taxpayers. Taxpayers are putting the bill to protect them. You dont get the cops but they get to protect me because i won one election. Cancel culture has not stopped. It made its way to Princeton University yesterday. They have a graduate school there called the Woodrow Wilson school i believe for Public International affairs. Foreign policy Public Affairs graduate school. They will decide to drop Woodrow Wilsons name. It is known as woody woo. Wilson school is no longer. Here is what princeton president said in a very long statement. This is just a portion of it. Wilsons segregationist policies make him especially inappropriate namesake for a Public Policy school, when a University Names a school for political leader inevitably suggests that the honor reis a model for the students that study at the school. This moment in American History makes it clear wilsons racism disqualifies him from the role. His racist views and policies. Listen, this is precisely what the left demands. Everyone must be erased and canceled, even if they won a world war. While he did start the league of nations which ultimately failed, won a nobel peace prize. He is the, king progressive. He started the Progressive Movement in america but no, no good for the left. He has got to go. You want, you look around at every building, every university, including Yale University named after a slave trader, you wonder when and where does this end, jed . Jedediah yeah. Important to note with respect to princeton, this goes back to 2015 where those protests with respect to this particular building started. But the administration started well do reforms. Well not remove the name. After the death of george floyd they decided to remove the name. Private institutions can make the decisions. They can. Theyre allowed to do. That but also parents send the children to these schools, it is up to you what kind of school do you support the ideology. Are you a fan of decision princeton made. Or will you seek out institutions that have different way of life, looking at different way of history. Ultimately people power rests in your hands and ultimately paying that tuition and making the decision what type of fours years your filed will have. Griff the problem, where is the tolerance in these institutions of Higher Learning . You expect, you send your kid to broaden their horse horizons, get a different array of perspectives. When they become intolerant naming of a school after one of our president s it send as hypocritical message pete . Pete this is what Higher Education is today. Littleknown fact, i once was a student at the Woodrow Wilson school for a week before i dropped out because i didnt want to be there anymore. Just saying. Maybe i was ahead of my time. I knew i didnt want to be associated with such a patriarchal racist institution. But, yeah, well continue to see this with more schools under pressure from students. Really students are pushing administrations to do this. Jedediah yeah. Another big story were following today is that the white house is pushing back on a New York Times report that report claims that President Trump knew russia was paying taliban militants to kill u. S. Troops in afghanistan but failed to respond. Mark meredith joins us live from d. C. With more on that dispute. Mark, whats the latest . Reporter jed, good morning to you. The white house is denying that President Trump was briefed about this report that suggests Russian Military units were working with militants on the ground to target u. S. Troops in afghanistan. New york times first reported this story on friday. There has been a lot of blowback since then. It alleged russia provided taliban militants with money in exchange for targeting coalition forces. The white house has been pushing back hard on this they say the president did not know about it. The cia director, National Security advisor and chief of staff can all confirm that neither the president nor the Vice President were briefed on the alleged russia bounty intelligence. This does not speak to the merit of the alleged intelligence but inaccuracy of the times story erroneously suggesting that President Trump was briefed on this matter. Democrats up on capitol hill and on the campaign trail they are jumping all over this report accusing the president of cozying up to russia over the objection of u. S. Allies. Donald trump has continued his embarrassing campaign of deference and debasing himself before Vladmir Putin. He had this information according to the times, yet he offeredded to host putin in the United States and sought to invite russia to rejoin the g7. Reporter now the president has suggested he would like to see russia come to the g7 meeting later on this year. That meeting was supposed to happen at end of this month. It was pushed back because of the pandemic. Looks like it will happen in the fall. A lot can change. Well watch the fallout a little later on today. Griff, jed,. Pete pete uncle joe toll me more about your failing political history. No surprise russians meddling n afghanistan they had occupation for years ultimately expelled. If they want to take over afghanistan, part of the president s rationale of Foreign Policy is we shouldnt be spending trillions of american dollars and american lives there. Doesnt dismiss the fact that russia is our enemy which we know but to point this at the white house say, theyre complicit with putin i think to miss the whole story. Griff yeah. A lot more jedediah key obviously if he was briefed on it or not. If he was briefed on it did nothing, then people will have something to say about that. If he didnt wasnt briefed on it it is fake news. Yet to be seen. Pete russia has been paying bounties to islamists for years this is not a new thing ultimately, even if it is unfortunate. Griff got more on that coming up. Were turning to your headlines overnight. Two people are killed after a shooting at a walmart distribution center. Police say the suspect rammed his car into the california warehouse before opening fire with a a semiautomatic rifle. Four people died in the shooting. Four other people were hurt. Gunman killed a shootout with police. The motive unknown. Vice president pence heads to texas to receive an update on the States Coronavirus response. The Vice President meets with Governor Greg Abbott as cases rise in the state. He will speak about religious liberties and his own faith in a Baptist Church in dallas. Two Campaign Events pence was set to headline in florida and arizona this week have been canceled. Both have seen record breaking jumps in infections. Extreme weather we go.

Here is my guy about to win as he did last year. Kevin harvick. He deserved one. I was glad to see him. Pete kevin was driving slow at the end. That was a slow hmo. Sorry about that. Miami closing beaches for 4th of july weekend a month after reopening as covid19 cases spike in florida. Miami mayor Francis Suarez joins us liveal next. timer chimes you turn 40 and everything goes. Tell me about it. You know, its made me think, im closer to my retirement days than i am my college days. Hm. Im thinking. Will i have enough . Should i change something . Well, youre asking the right questions. I just want to know, am i gonna be okay . I know people who specialize in am i going to be okay. I like that. You may need glasses though. Yeah. Guidance to help you stay on track, no matter what comes next. Jedediah beaches in miami ordered to close down ahead of july 4th weekend less than one month after reopening this comes after florida recorded a record 9,000 new coronavirus cases in one day. Hospitalizations also on the rise, prompting the state to ban drinking at bars and gatherings of more than 50 people. Miami mayor Francis Suarez joins us now. Mayor, thank you so much for being here. A little concerning to see these numbers emerging. Do we know why there has been an uptick like this before we get to the beaches . Shows that once we started opening, particularly restaurants, people started congregating in large numbers. They sort of forgot about the rules. What we know about this virus is that it is very aggressive in iting growth. Before we locked down the city it was growing 35 new cases per day. As of last monday, it has been growing at a pace of over 40 new cases per day. It is a fairy aggressive virus and it didnt take much for it to spread very, very quickly. Jedediah when it comes to the beaches, do you feel that is the right decision . One thing always brought up by people, thats outdoors. As we know, you are less likely to catch this virus in an outdoor environment than a indoor environment f people dont have a place to go outdoors, will they try to flock indoors somewhere . What do you make of the ruling on the beaches . Yeah, you know, i think the other issue is just mass congregation, areas where people congregate massively. We know that our beaches, particularly during holiday weekends are areas of mass congregation. It may be true more dangerous inside than it is to be outside, it is more dangerous to be in places where there is mass congregation than in places where there arent. That is what the county mayor was trying, i think he made the right decision. You know, look, there is no playbook for what a mayor needs to do to protect his citizens. You have to do everything that we can do to try to make sure that our residents are safe and visitors are safe. We dont want anyone coming here or getting a virus and then going somewhere else and spreading it. Jedediah obviously a very difficult time and a challenging time to be a mayor of a city with numbers going up like this. The challenge for people, they feel like this could never end, right . They feel like you can open a beach, shut a beach. The numbers may tick up. You will have a asymptomatic people. More people are tested. Young people will be less responsible for the question does this ever end remains to be seen. Thanks so much for being here, giving us your take. Youre welcome, thank you. Jedediah speaking of miami it, was one year ago on the debate stage where joe biden raised his hand, admitting he would give Unlimited Health care to Illegal Immigrants. Retired acting i. C. E.

Mississippi lawmakers set to vote today whether to change its states flag. The legislature approving the first step to remove the confederate emblem on saturday. The governor says he will sign the bill. California democrats pass a motion to rename john wayne apart. They want to strip the legendary actors name and likeness over past racist and bigoted statements. Opponents say not fair to judge wayne off comments made 50 years ago. The airport was renamed after the duke in 1979. John wayne you are canceled. You listen and you listen good, griff. Over to you. Griff thanks, pete. All right. Exactly one year ago, joe biden, remember this, stood on stage at the miami debate and raised his hand in front of millions of voters committing to give health care to illegals. A lot is changed in a year. Bidens defense of that position has not. Here to discuss it, fox news contributor, retired acting i. C. E. Director tom homan. Good morning to you, tom. Good morning, driven. Griff a lot can happen in a year. Just so that were very clear. Here is biden defending that health care to illegals. Listen quickly. I want your reaction. You cannot let people who are sick, no matter where they come from, no matter what their status, go uncovered. You cant do. That it is going to be taken care of, period, you have to. It is the humane thing to do. They in fact contribute to the well being of the country, for example, they increase the lifespan much social security. Griff tom, your reaction now, a year later. Look that statement should concern every american. Joe biden has just said if you can get to this country illegally, well give you access to the greatest Health Care System in the world for free. What do you think that is going to do to our border . The people are going to surge to the border to get here. What do you think that will do to the health carism is you and i pay for. That is ridiculous. Add to the other two statements he made numerous times, number one he will put a moratorium on all deportations day one of his presidency. If youre in the country illegally you will never be deported unless you are a convicted of a serious felony. Those three enticements will cause unprecedented surge at border. Why wouldnt they . If there is no consequence, no deterrents why wouldnt you not come to the United States. He said it is okay to enter the country illegal, okay to work here illegally displace American Workers and drive wages down. That is okay. Well never deport you. That is just a foolish statement. Cartels will get rich. 31 of women continue to be sexually molested making that journey. Its a ridiculous statement. Griff in that year, tom, the president kept his promise on the wall. He went out there this week, 214, 216 miles of the border wall. What do you make of that . President is keeping his promise to the american people. Is keeping all of his promises. This is not the vanity wall, democrats call it, it is americas wall. Border patrol getting the wall exactly what they wanted and where they wanted it. Every mile of wall makes the country safer. Hillary clinton, chuck schumer, joe biden, they all voted for border barriers in 2006 at 50 times the call. They all should agree. Walls work. Walls save lives. Walls protect america. Griff if biden won do you think he would move to take the wall down . Let me tell you what will happen. If biden wins the presidency we lose the border on day one. This president , President Trump, i voted for six president s. This is not emotional opinion. This isnt my thought. Based on fact, based on his statements this President Trump has more than any of the six president s i worked for to secure this border. Illegal crossings are down 84 because of this president with no help from congress. All that suck questions success on the border goes away day one because of bidens presidency. Because of enticements he made people will surge to the border. President trump has done what no another president in my lifetime has done by himself with no help from congress. We lose the border under a biden presidency. Griff tom homan, dont forget we have daca hanging out there. That a topic for another day. Thank you, sir. I know youre headed to the border. Travel safe. Thank you. Nice seeing you. Griff thanks, tom. Nypd is seeing a surge in retirements as crime and protests spike in the city. How can we change that trend . Our Law Enforcement panel weighs in next.

Pete welcome back. The nypd seeing a surge in retirements amid a spike in crime. Protests, riots and a push to slash funds. With 272 officers filing since may 5th for retirement. 50 increase over the same period last year. This after rumors swirl about a pending sick blue out over july 4th weekend. They were so good yesterday, we have retired Dallas Police officer simone wingo, joe grimaldi and former nypd decktive dr. Oscar odom. We should have you guys on a loop every weekend. You guys are an fast tick. Dr. Odom, i want to start with you. Youre looking at the backyard. The nypd, looking at a huge spike in retirement. S. What do you make of that, and possibility they may call out sick on Independence Day . Well, first of all as usual i would like to thank the women and men in blue of nypd, Law Enforcement officers all across the country what they do especially during these times. The first thing, can you blame them, lack of backing, lack of leadership. Possibility much losing your pension this. Is a job you go to not one day, but a minimum of 20 years, you put your lives on the line every single day. Which means one of those days out of 20 years you may lose your life so why not leave when nobody is going to back you and you also going to be secondguessed on what youre doing. As far as the blue flu is concerned, unreasonable people dont want the police anyway. So therefore without them being there, you would think the crime rate is up now. Watch what happens when Police Officers are not there. Experienced Police Officers are retiring. So here its, youre getting rid of all this experience. Everybody that does all the right things and be able to train the other officers. This is, remember sometimes police work it is lawful but awful. I say it again. It is lawful but awful. Not all of police work is pretty. But it is lawful but at times it could look awful. Griff pete joe, here is the what nypd about reports about digital pamphlets about a blue flu. New york city officers will be here today, tomorrow, 4th of july to protect all new yorkers. To suggest otherwise is false. Joe, speak not to the blue flu portion but recruitment. How do you build a force that doesnt have support . Everyone is concerned about a blue flu, what they should be concerned about the long term sustainability much our profession. Attacks physical and political. We had 150 Police Officers shot this year, which is already outpacing last years historic numbers. Political attacks continue against our officers, who will want to be a police officer. If youre a young, intelligent, caring person that wants to go into a life of service, the exact people we want, the exact people that the Community Want us to hire, why in the hell would you take this job . The fact of the matter is, the attacks on Law Enforcement need to stop people need to get a grip and understand that officers got into this profession to help people. If we dont turn this around, it will not be anybody left to take this job. If you are a part of the silent majority, i know youre watching right now, you need to hold our elected officials accountable for this. If they spew antipolice rhetoric if they promote lawlessness, if they support the terrorists and rioters and looters, hold them accountable and vote their asses out. Pete simone, speaking of elected leadership, do you see any help on the horizon . These democratled cities where a lot of violence is happening where police are calling out, are led by folks effectively supporting the antipolice protests. Where do cops have to turn . You know, i agree with joe and dr. Odom. These politicians, they are doing exactly what they say they are going to do. Theyre following with this Minority Majority Group and they are making a mess out of this whole thing. As far as the blue flu, i feel like these officers need to have a safe where they were wanted and needed. They are out there bleeding, fighting crime, every day on the streets of new york, they dont feel like they have a stake. It is basic need. Im a human being, ultimately like everyone else. I have needs as well. I need you to back me. I need to feel like i am a part of this department and you are a part of this department. Officials are going to have to do something abought this. You have to say you know what . Pull up their bootstraps as they say in texas, they will have to make some decisions, hard decisions, without police, as dr. Odom says you dont want the police fine were going to go. If i was a kid coming in with a College Degree or without a College Degree with the hours, i wouldnt join the police department. I would be afraid to. I think that is really scary in this day and time. Pete what an unfortunate reality. The best of our best go into service because they love their communities. Then we turn our backs on them. Welldone, all of you, simone, joe, dr. Odom, the best dress Law Enforcement officer on television. Thank you for joining us this morning. We appreciate it. Have a great day. Pete you got it. Jed over to you for some headlines. Jedediah thanks, pete. Well turn to the headlines now. A 20 month boy shot and killed while sitting in his mothers car in chicago. Police say they were on the way home from a laundromat when shots rang out. Police believe they were targeted. The mom was grazed in the head but will be okay. A passenger who consoled boys parents said enough is enough. If youre not mad, if youre not outraged, if youre not heartbroken about this then what will you be heartbroken about . Jedediah at least 21 people have been shot in chicago so far this weekend. Seven of those shot were deadly. Congressman devin nunes speaking out overnight about john durhams russia probe. The congressman telling just see waters the silence from durhams team is actually a good sign. The one good thing so far that weve learned about this durham investigation is that durham isnt talking, people on his team arent talking. So i think thats a good sign this is a real legitimate investigation that is occurring. Jedediah nunes says he believes the missing fbi document from the fbis first interview with Michael Flynn is in durhams possession. Durham is investigating the origins of the russia probe. A pilot is saved after his plane crashes into the ocean. The frightening moments all caught on camera. Oh, my god.

Pete i would drive miles to see garth brooks. That is easy. I would drive miles to have lunch with Rick Reichmuth. We have not had lunch recently, rick, nor have we had a haircut but we love all the rest. Rick you said you would drive miles to have lunch with me. Pete lets do it rick, come on.

This morning Vice President mike pence will address thousands of worshipers at the first Baptist Church in dallas. This is part of the churchs celebrate freedom sunday where the veep will highlight the importance of texas and evangelical support. Pete he will attend with pastor Robert Jeffress. Thanks for being on the show. We appreciate it. Give us a preview what youre anticipating today. Well today, is our annual patriotic service, we call celebrate freedom which we celebrate goods unique blessings on our country. We were honored a few years ago to have President Trump address our group. We hosted this in washington, d. C. He did a bangup job. Were looking forward to hear from the Vice President. He will be joined by secretary ben carson. Texas Governor Greg Abbott will be there. Senator john cornyn a host of other people. The own ones missing are you guys. We wish you will be here with us. Griff very kind, pastor, very kind. Let me ask you, when you look at the Vice President s message today, there is a real sense of Many Americans that the country is gone off the rails here. That there needs to be some reassuring of leadership. Some hardening of our will, because of course weve been inn the pan den pandemic as long and unrest in the streets. What do you hope to hear . Well today is not a political rally, i want to make that very clear. The Vice President is going to be talking about the importance of faith, personal faith. He will be sharing about his own faith journey and he will remind us of our judeochristian heritage as a nation. I really believe the bottom line issue for all americans, for people everywhere is our own relationship with god. You know we can treat the symptoms of the problems of not having a right relationship with god or we can talk about the new heart god promises everyone who turns to him. I think thats going to be the focus of the Vice President today. Jedediah pastor, so many people around the the country have been unable to worship together as Church Gatherings have been shut down. It has been challenging for many. What do you say to those who really want to get back to church, havent been able to do so yet and feel the void in their life particularly now with the pandemic with so much going on in the country really hard to bear a lot of the time . Well, that is a great question. I saw a survey this week. 67 of churches are still closed in america today. Look, i believe this threat of the pandemic is a very real threat. Im glad our church has opened up. But were doing so cautiously. Even today were taking extra measures with temperature checking, encouraging people to wear masks but i would say if youre in a church that hasnt opened, there is still a wide variety of Online Services you can attend and i think its important that you say connected, even if it is virtually to a body of believers who will encourage you during these very stressful times. Pete pastor jeffress, real quick, the Biden Campaign, even though todays event is not political, the Biden Campaign is suggesting evangelical, christian support may be hedging in the former Vice President s direction. What do you say about that visavis President Trump . There is no way joe biden will ever attract any significant number of evangelical voters. He has been bought and paid for by planned parenthood. When evangelicals concentrate after labor day, i told the president recently i believe they will turn out in greater numbers to support him in 2020 even than they did in 2016. Pete pastor Robert Jeffress, thanks for joining us. Have a Wonderful Service today. We appreciate it. Griff thank you, pastor. Great to be with you all, thank you. Pete you got it.

You made quite a Lemonade Stand here. What was so special about your lemonade . I was helping people. Jedediah why did you want to make a Lemonade Stand . Because, somebody got shot really bad. Jedediah you wanted to help . Uhhuh. Jedediah wow. Olivia, i want to ask you, how did this all start . So inspiring that a Lemonade Stand could make such an Significant Impact in some peoples lives . It was a silly story because this little boy right here decided to be rebellious take a something he got from his teacher put it into the shoes. My mom said you cant take it to the grocery store. He put it into the shoes, as explain it like a teenage mutant turtle slime oozing out of his shoes. So they were ruined. Cooper decided to do chores around the house to clean up and raise money for his shoes. I came up to him, cooper, what about Lemonade Stand. He was all for it. We decided to do it for some sort of cause and race money for something. It doesnt matter what it is. And then we were watching the news and we were just so touched by her story and felt that this is what we need to do. We need to do it for arlydia. We made signs. We made most terse, didnt we . Posters and we set up the Lemonade Stand. Were over 3,000. Jedediah wow. Over 3,000. Such a great story to hear about this child. , how did you hear about this and what happened to arlydia and how this came about . Well, last monday, about 9 9 20 p. M. Arlydia and one of her coworkers from the Fire District were out having a dinner at a local applebees when a unknown a sail ant walked into the opened fire on random women inside of the restaurant, you which one was tragically fatally shot. Arlydia was tragically shot and critically injured as well as another young lady. As things got underway, as the story broke, i just got word that the there was a little boy out in st. Charles county who set up a Lemonade Stand to raise money for arlydia. And that that is so amazing. It touched my heart. Of course were all heartbroken by what has happened but to see such a young boy, you know, make this decision, conscious decision on his own, knowing that he has need of something and he decides to do this for our firefighters. Jedediah it is absolutely i think we can all take a lesson especially what is going on the world. Jedediah youre 100 correct. I want to get rebecca in, mom, so sorry to hear what happened to your daughter. How is your daughter doing . Shes stable. She is you know, critical but stable. She is following commands from the nurses and doctors. And a little bit of a swelling went down but, shes stable. She is still fighting. Thank you, guys, so much for being here.

And if youre looking for. Grilled Cheese sizzles timer chimes . Pete good morning. It is sunday, june 28th in the year of our lord, 2020. Youre watching the number one cable news Morning Television show in america and im joined this morning by jedediah bila, and griff jenkins. On my left, not as far left as bernie sanders, on the left side of the screen. We love having him join us from the swamp. Good morning. As we find ourselves often here we are talking about police and what political leaders are doing about it. Griff good sunday morning indeed from what is the douglas commonwealth. The house voting to rename d. C. As they try to make it a state. I know well talk about the law and order today and the police, d. C. Police getting a pay cut, jed. Concerning a lot of officers here in d. C. In new york the problem more significant it seems . Jedediah big problems in new york because Violent Crime has been spiking weve got now hundreds of protesters camping outside of city hall in new york city and theyre demanding my favorite mayor, dont sense the sarcasm too much, bill de blasio slashed one billion dollars from the nypd budget. This is happening as the nypd see as 49 spike in officers filing for retirement amid the unrest. Weve seen this pattern happening before, with the saying for a long time, it is very difficult time to be a police officer. Doesnt surprise me a lot of Police Officers are looking at anticop sentiment popping up around the country and lack of support particularly in a place like new york city. You know what . I dont know if it is something i can do anymore. Doesnt seem like im wellreceived. Cops have family too. They go home to wives, husbands and children. If they are not supported how can they effectively do their job, defend, going out there putting their lives on the line with no support system when they have families at home as well . Pete that is untenable. The protesters are demanding that mayor bill de blasio cut a billion dollars from the nypd budget there is rioting and lawlessness in the streets of new york city, in ault boroughs. Steps away from here, fox news headquarters in manhattan. Youve seen lawlessness, rioters and looting. The demands of the protesters are, you cant keep the streets safe, lets have less of you out there. Images have been beamed to Television Screens across america. This is new york city. Not the center of the universe. But it is emblematic what people see when they see lawlessness. I did a panel, griff, with Police Officers, dr. Odom, a former nypd officer, you do 20 years, struck me, in the military do a oneyear deployment, you know youre coming back to a totally different environment. If you put the blue uniform every single day you walk out what feels like a war zone, not knowing whether you feel like you will come home what that does to recruitment or retention, were seeing a 50 drop, increase in the amount of retirements in the nypd. Here is a portion of what our police panel said about the attack on cops today. The attacks on Law Enforcement need to stop people neat need to get a grip, to understand that officers got into this profession to help people. If we dont turn this around, there will not be anybody left to take this job. You put your job on the line every single day, one of those days out of 20 years you may lose your life. Why not leave when nobody is going to back you . You also will be secondguessed what youre doing. You dont want the police, fine, were going to go. If i was a kid coming in with a College Degree or without a College Degree with just hours i would not join the police department. I would be afraid to. I think that is really scary. Griff that sent plenty is not just isolated in new york. Here in d. C. , a close friend of mine on the force of 20 years, says heres the deal, griff, what they have done with cutting the budget for police here in the city council and some other things they will try to do, include adding a member of black lives matter here in d. C. To a Police Reform commission, youre going to have everybody with five or less years on the force retiring. Everyone with 25 and above leave. You will have a weakened force. That is the fear across the nation. You mentioned where fox is there, pete, great point, right behind us is times square. There was a time you would not dare go into times square. People from across the globe to walk around safely. The reason why it changed because of one, police, what they did to turn it around, jed. Jedediah yeah. Exactly right. I remember a time in new york city, youre talking about new york city, when it was scary. There were certain areas of the city you didnt go into. Rudy giuliani came in and he really reformed the city. Suddenly you were excited to be in manhattan again. Watching the lack of leadership on the part of bill de blasio particularly what happened with respect to the looting what happened after the protests. There was no effort at all. So many people that i know lost businesses. I cannot tell you, of all of my friends, i think one of them has stayed in manhattan. The rest said, i love this city, but i dont love what is happening to the city. I dont particularly like the leadership in manhattan. I cant keep my business here because there is fear those businesses will not be, no one will stand by them. When you have someone like that, you have them not standing by Law Enforcement at all, you have that sentiment among Law Enforcement, listen if we get into trouble the mayor does not have our back, that is how they feel, you will have a huge problem, crime will continue to soar, people will continue to leave the city. Pete remember when bill de blasio ran for president , never registered above 0 . Jedediah shocking. Pete shocking. He is so effective, when he ran for office in 2013, on the second term, he was endorsed by the leftwing, progressive magazine the nation. I dont know if it prints an actual magazine, probably not. Theyre known for being far left. Turns out de blasio is not far left enough for them. And they have reneged, reversed their endorsement of de blasio on his progressive policies citing his betrayal, they say he is supporting the police too much. Here is the nation headline. Bill de blasio broke his promise to new york. In the article they write, the mayor promised to fight for black lives, instead defended the police. He insisted the nypd respected the protesters and even blamed demonstrate force for inciting the cops wrath. For those who believed de blasio 2013 promises for those the promises were made the response to the most racial uprising in century has been stunning. Griff, look at that with realistic eyes, de blasio turned his back on the police, considered defunding them, not supporting them, yet for leftists, the hardcore types, that those running for president , the magazines they read, theyre too supportive of the police. It shows you how far we have fallen. Griff shows you really the prowess, if you will of the Progressive Left because here they have their guy, their starting quarterback in terms of the liberal policies towards new york that jeds been talking a little bit about but now they want to find out if they can push that idealogical purity even further and this is them pointing that out saying, you didnt go all the way we wanted you to go so shame on you. Jed . Jedediah bill de blasio has unique of being universally hated. Truly amazing. He can inspire hatred among far left, far right. I dont know anyone that supports him. New york city is going the way of aoc. That is where it is headed. If you dont like it, there is not much you can do about it, the loud voices have become extreme, it is insanity especially manhattan central. There is another story were following. That Vice President pence is heading to texas to meet Governor Greg Abbott over the States Coronavirus response. Texas has seen a major spike in coronavirus cases as the u. S. Marks another daily record of cases. Governors across the country pausing reopening plans including florida and arizona. The Sunshine State closing bars to cush the spread. The Vice President postponing his Campaign Events in florida and arizona over cove individual covid19 concerns. Griff good on the Vice President , canes selling those trips, those planned Campaign Events in florida and arizona. Look here is the deal. After the some point well deal with reality and the reality as was expected would pop up in some areas. You have a practical response to it. And i know, pete, you have hammered this pretty hard but here we have inaction, some precautions being taken which are prudent and that is pretty much straight up forward what this is . Pete reality you cant stay closed forever. You can take prudent measures. Look at the data. We know who the virus affects the most. Protect those people. Ultimately spikes in cases doesnt always, doesnt mean it is out of control. You have to look at hospitalizations and deaths. If you look in texas and other states, the hospitals are not overwhelmed. Elective surgeries are happening again which accounts for a large portion of the people in the icus. So the sky is not falling. You have to do both at the same time. Reopening schools, reopening businesses, allowing livelihoods to move forward. Listen, i scratch my head at things like this. The mayor of miami was on our program earlier, Francis Suarez talking about why closing beaches is somehow going to solve it. Here is part of the sound. Once you started opening, particularly restaurants people started congregating in large numbers. They sort of forgot about the rules. What we know about this virus it is very aggressive in its growth. The other issue is mass congregations areas where people congregate massively. We know our beaches particularly on holiday weekends are areas of mass congregation. It may be true that it is more dangerous to be inside than outside, it is more dangerous to be in places where there are mass congregations, than where there arent. Pete you mean mass congregations like the massive protests over the last month . Is anyone talking about the fact that could be responsible for increase in cases. I saw mostly young people out on the streets. Yet no condemnation from political leaders. Griff wait a minute, lets not forget, biden didnt waist an opportunity to fund raise on this, slamming President Trump as soon as he saw the first spikes, slamming for reopening the country prematurely. Here is what biden said yesterday. He has not done any of what needs to be done. Now he is sending even more people back to work without a plan to safely reopen, hanging the open sign in the economy, crossing his fingers and telling his staff, slow down testing . You cant wish this away. Cases are still rising. People are still dying. Front line workers will unfortunately be on the front lines a long, long time. As president im going to make sure i have their backs. Jed. Jedediah obviously the fear, even if it is young people out on the beaches, maybe theyre not at highrisk for serious complications, the fear they will then go home to someone who is older and put them at risk. With that being said, i dont know how you avoid this in the long run. Eventually society will need to reopen. But it is a challenging time to be a mayor of one of those cities who sees spikes and wants to do something and doesnt really know what to do. The truth with this virus it has been a lot of ups and downs. Doctors, people, we dont know what to do because it is highly contagious. Even when people get mild symptoms and labeled mild, sometimes theyre not so mild. I can tell you that. It is very challenging. With that being said life will have to resume at some point. I dont know what the answer is. I dont think anyone genuinely knows what the answer is. Pete if youre young, dont go back to grandma. There are ways you can be responsible for this. All of us cant sit in our payments with masks on like joe biden. People have to live their lives, be responsible, open their business. I find quite sanctimonious of him. Griff more on that. Turning to the headlines. A man is shot and killed at a protest in louisville. [gunfire] gunshots ringing out during a peaceful protest for briana taylor.

The barriers around seattles cop free zone, autonomous country, they say they will be dismantled today but the battle not over. Well get an update from seattle.

Pete well today, the barriers around the seattles chop free zone, known as chaz, formerly known as chop, as they try to block workers from removing barriers around the concrete zone on friday, their version of a wall. As businesses five another classaction lawsuit against the city, holding mayor jenny durkan and governor jay inslee accountable for the lawlessness that has occurred to their neighborhood and businesses. So will the country of chop actually be gone after today . So, chop will not be gone after today. Lets give you update on specifically what will supposed to happen later on if the protesters actually allow it. The mayor got a hold of a bunch of organizers but not all the organizers. Because there are no actually leaders of chop this morning as they will remove some of the barriers. They will not remove barriers outside of the Police Precinct shut down as a result of all this activism. That is still going to remain. The question how many other barriers to reopen the neighborhood basically will be able to get removed before someone steps up, hopefully what happened on friday, which someone pulled a gun on city workers and they wound up leaving. Pete is the course for seattle, please, pretty please, can we take down the barriers . Or if someone takes down a forklift will they be arrested and the job be done . Youre saying the Police Precinct still ultimately wont be taken by the city . Under no circumstance is today will the be the day we get the Police Precinct back, according to the mayor. Yes, it would appear anyone can stand in one of the forklifts or lay down in front of them, they will stop their movement. So well see what ends up happening. A lot of people seem to think this will be the end. No it is a slow death. To be clear chop today was not the chop of last week before the shootings. There are clearly less people out there. These are more the hardcore activists that are still there theyre saying we are not ready to go. You havent met our demands . Pete their demands are what and im charm they cannot be met . No. None of the demands can be met. Before going into the meeting with the mayor on friday, what were seeing friday on the country, fringe beliefs, get rid of police department, release people in jail, total immunity to protesters who have been ticketed or arrested over the course of last several weeks. Were hearing more stuff, get rid of qualified immunity which of course the city of seattle has no control over. Pete of course. Theyre awaiting u. N. Recognition from the Palestinian Authority and north korea pending. Eventually. Pete thank you, jason rants, thank you very much for your time.

Several companies are accusing the platform of failing to monitor hate speech. Jed . Jedediah thanks, griff. Joe biden facing growing pressure from democrat women urging him to pick a black running mate. Kamala harris is emerging as the front runner in the veepstakes. Just last year she challenged the former vp on race. It was hurtful, to hear you talk about the reputations of two United States senators who built their reputations and career on segregation of race. You also worked with them to oppose busing. There was a little girl in california who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools. And she was bused to school every day. And that little girl was me. Jedediah so is all forgiven . Who here to debate, republican strategist, joseph pin i dont know and democratic strategist kevin wallace. Are they buddies now . Let bygones be bygones. They are. You run hard when youre running in a primary. Sometimes theyre ugly and sometimes unfortunate. Dr. Joe biden was campaigning with senator harris two days ago raising a lot of money for the campaign. There is closeness between the Vice President and between senator harris. I think as you have seen with most democratic polls who folks on our side want to see run with the Vice President , senator Elizabeth Warren and senator harris, among others. She would be a formidable Vice President alongside joe biden running at the top of the ticket. Jedediah joseph, does that answer work for you . For me when i watch two people go headtohead on a debate stage, you watch Kamala Harris put a lot of heat in joe bidens direction, his record on criminal justice now suddenly for them to fuse as if nothing happened, that never sits right with me. Look, i think the reality is Kamala Harris never had a problem with joe bidens record on race. Or had a problem with joe biden getting a larger of percentage of black voters in the polls. That little girl was me, was a polltested stunt six months in the making, designed to sell a lot of tshirts. Has very little to do with the needs of black people across this country. As we saw with the latest vote to basically stop justice dead in its tracks, most of what democrats are talking about has nothing to do with the needs of black people. Democrats want to continue to play the identity politics. They think they can rebuild the Obama Coalition by throwing a brown face at the bottom of the ticket. I think unfortunately unless theyre planning on putting Michelle Obama on ticket themself they will learn the same lesson in 2016 all over again. Jedediah Michelle Obama would be absolutely a formidable candidate. I want to ask you, kevin, about karen bass. She has been floated as vp choice. California congresswoman. She made comments about the fidel castro democrats themselves have been troubling. As cuba begins nine days of mourning i wish to express my condolences to the cuban people and family of fidel castro. The passing of commanderinchief is a great loss to the people of cuba. Comments like this, wont they be a problem for centrist democrats that joe biden would desperately need . There could be jed. There is huge cubanamerican population in florida. We have seen pushback to her remarks. Karen bass would be formidable vicepresident ial contender. First former black woman speaker of california general assembly. Leads the black congress in congress. Passed comprehensive Police Reformulas week in the house of representatives. Of course no second choice is going to be strong in terms of the Vice President based on previous remarks. But i think she, like senator harris would be formidable. Again theyre not running in a vacuum. Theyre running against a president , Vice President , who now, you know, praised Vladmir Putin as we talked about earlier in the show, recent reports about the entanglements with russianbacked groups in afghanistan, targeting. Jedediah kevin, kevin, let me interrupt a second i i want to joe. Kevin says they would be formidable. Why . Why would they be . They dont have a record. Joe biden needs someone talking about criminal justice reform, were talking about those issues that is what is happening in this moment, that is what theyre trying to address, his record is terrible on that. None of these people are coming forward, where is the record that helps him on those issues . Im not seeing it. I dont think this should just be about color. This has to be about what you have done to help africanamericans, if that is your goal. Am i wrong here . Look, when you talk about congresswoman bass she is accomplished in her own right, but do those accomplishments help joe biden in this moment . I would submit they do not. If youre talking about the constant problem that democrats have, is they have revisionist history, socialism, forget socialism actually made real pain and real suffering in everyday peoples lives. So the people who are the descendants of cubans do not forget. They want to tear down statues yet place, basically mausoleums to a murderous dictator because he happened out Free Health Care to the grandchildren of people he murdered. I think ultimately, when you talk about who you should be picking the goal is to build a coalition not loosen tire constituencies. If democrats want to continue to ignore the fact that rankandfile democratic voter is a moderate, they will end up in a lot of pain come 2020 all over again. Jedediah thank you both for being here. Remains to be seen who he picks. Well follow it, catch up with you then, thanks so much. Thank you. Jed, good to see you. Jedediah good to see you too.

Looks like you can watch it on shaqs facebook page. Jedediah can i just say, i would not want to enter a wings contest with you, pete. I would level lose that battle. Pete i would not want to enter a guacamole contest with you or fruit smoothie. Griff fox friends cohost monday through friday, Brian Kilmeade. Good morning. Are you dusting up on your hoops shooting and wing eating contest abilities . I would not do that. Im famous for not eating on the show. Because my thing is, you have to make a decision as a host, are you going to talk, are you going to eat . Pete, you dont care. You will talk while eating. Pete i have my mcdonalds breakfast sandwich. Jedediah, you are much more disciplined. I appreciate that on behalf of america. Griff, im not sure where you stand. Pete brian, you are the man said famously, stay within yourself. Do not do things youre not capable of doing. Thank you. That is all im famous for, pete, appreciate that. Play your game. Pete play your game. Thats right. Griff we want to get some news coming out of washington. You may have seen yesterday, four men have been charged attempting to tear down the statue of Andrew Jackson in Lafayette Square. What is your take on the development . Put it this way, when i had a chance to do the white house tour which is going to be on tonight and speak with the president , one hour after i left this took place in broad daylight. You saw the attempted takedown but the damaging of the Andrew Jackson statue, a statue people like ronald reagan, even though he was a democrat insisted on having his picture taken on front of in his first day in office, on cover of newsweek magazine. This is brazen act. The faces were apparent. They thought there would be no retribution. They thought they would be heroes. Four will be indicted. One has already been arraigned. This is what i say, this should be 400 arrests. If you can get those four to pay a price for the destruction of these statues it will send a message. You know what . Maybe it is not worth it. Sadly i think, guys, they will get the message, next time i will cover my face. Pete boy, thats right. Brian, a lot of people are talking about america, what is lost. What is at stake. This is perfect timing. You have a new fox nation show, presents what made America Great. Tonight at 10 00 p. M. Tell us about it. Im pumped up. Ive done 21 features. When the virus hit, everything went on the shelf, you know. That i had three done. Look at sam houston, twopart series, and womens suffrage which will roll out on monday. After yearandahalf of trying we finally got a call 10 days ago from the white house. You can do your Historical Tour and the president will be available. What i wanted to do not so much talk, here is President Trump 45 and here is what he thinks. I want to show you the whole thing. It is composed of, it is a museum for us. It is a residence for the president , and it is also in particular a place of business. The president is actually running the country from there how did you show off and how did it start. It started off with eight rooms and why 130 now . Some of the biggest moments that happened to mirror americas progress . Pete brian, fantastic work. I think you have a clip of this from your interview with President Trump. It is about the white house, history of the white house, how it works and where it came from, but you spoke to the current president of the white house. Here is a portion of it. The greatest country on earth. We have a heritage. We have a history. We should learn from the history and if you dont understand your history, you will go back to it again, you will go right back to it. You have to learn. Think of it, you take away that whole era and youre going to go back to it sometime. People wont know about it. They will forget about it. Its okay. What i like, i like building new statues to people, to great people, people that have done something. I think thats okay but you dont want to take away our heritage and our history. And the beauty, in many cases the beauty, the artistic beauty. Griff brian, he mentioned new statues but as you lay out in your special, it was 1948 to 50 truman rebuilt the white house. Did the president possibly tell you any additions to come to the white house . He didnt tell me i know if he had his druthers he would be building on to it. He does that by trade but i just talk about in 1792 washington starts construction. It is done by 1800. One of the great moments, 1814 it gets burned to the ground. It comes back in 1817. A west wing added by Teddy Roosevelt. The truman moves into the house. It is about to fall apart. He moves out. Here come the tractors. All that is left is exterior walls. White house is put back together. They didnt predict electricity. They predict plumbing. They didnt predict airconditioning. When they added on to the house, it was unable to hold all of this together. It was truman said whose idea was this . I think we get a sense of the great moments in our past through the white house and of course the president weighs in on what it means to him walking into that place every day. Pete fascinating. West wing built by Teddy Roosevelt. Maybe well have to get rid of it if it was built by Teddy Roosevelt. That is crazy times we live in, but watch this special tonight, 10 00 p. M.

Ends sunday. Pete minneapolis city clownil, that is the official name, takes next step in completely disbanding the City Police Department by changing the citys charter. That is long process that will need support by voters in the city in november. Our next guest are minneapolis Business Owners are working to rebuild their restaurant after it was set fire by rioters. Charles and casey own town diner and gastro pub. I will start with you, casey. Where are you in the process of rebuilding your business . Not even close. So we did not own the building. We were tenants of the building. So we dont have a say of what getting rebuilt there and, if the landlord rebuilds wants another restaurant in there or not but that area is, i would say years out from being rebuilt. I dont dont know for certain. They have not begun demolition or rebuilding of anything in that area. Pete charles, when you hear words years out, it doesnt provide a daylight. When you see the City Council Vote unanimously to disband the Minneapolis Police department, does that get you closer to the environment you need to reopen a business . I dont know it gets us closer to the environment that you need. I certainly understand if someone wants to tell me theyre going to send a different type of officer for one type of call versus another, i certainly understand that. But it is hard for me to envision a world complete, with abolishment of Police Officers when that is all ive known since ive been a child. So i dont know that that brings us closer. There is still a long way to go in the legislative process from the governor to be, before they could possibly get to that state, but unanimous vote speaks volumes. Pete it does. Great point. Casey, does it rub you the wrong way, the same City Council Members voting to abolish the police have hired their own private security detail on taxpayer dollars to defend themselves . You know, i think they have a hard job and i think that, whichever way they made a decision, whether it was, whether it was a vote to abolish or not i think were in a, were in a world right now where they have to be concerned for their sift and theyre taking the proper precautions. Had they voted the opposite direction, would they have hired security for themselves also . Probably so. Pete great point. I think its a tough job for pete no. I will ask you, charles as the exit question, do you feel like the city of minneapolis is moving in the right direction generally speaking for crime to go down, for businesses to reopen . Are you hopeful there is a new horizon there . You absolutely have to be hopeful. After what this city and st. Paul have gone through over the past month, what more do you have to hold on to more than hope . There has to be hope. So, yes, i personally am quite hopeful. Is this right, is this, i missed first part of question, do i think this is the right direction to go . I know that, if the whole incident that happened with mr. Floyd were to happen it, was a middleaged white guy like myself, i dont know that i believe he is dead. So at at that point do i look at it and say, definitely there is something that needs to be fixed. Yeah, of course. Do i know what that solution is . No. Were kind of simple restaurant ture and chef for a living. I dont know that i know that solution but i am open to hearing it. Pete we appreciate your time. We reached out to the city council for a statement. Good luck to you both. God bless you. Good luck. More fox friends and youll be surprised at how easily starting small can lead to something big. Start stopping with nicorette. Griff take me out to the ballgame. Americas favorite pastime is almost back. Major League Baseball setting opening day for july 24. Here to weigh in on the return of sports and reopening of our nation is one player who cant wait to get back on the field, pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers and financial advisor, ross stripping. Thanks for having me. Were usually5 games a season right now, the dog days of summer. We have a big hurdles with the coronavirus. We have health and safety protocols and to help bring baseball back to sports fans everywhere and were really excited. Griff what is the reaction to fox were get. Were running a fox commercial tugs at your heartstrings, gives me goosebumps every time i see it, because baseball is a important part of our nations fabric. Are you getting feedback about your return . Yeah, definitely. For a long time we thought we would come back on 4th of july. Have opening day on 4th of july. How awesome would that have been . It will take longer than. That having sports on tv gets you back to normalcy a little bit. That is a big part of our culture a reason to give fans, sports fans everywhere something to watch real soon. A change of pace in their daily lives. Get off concerns going on in the world right now. As Baseball Players if we can do that, help people out, well certainly here for it. Were looking forward to it. Griff in short amount of time, we have 20 seconds, there is Economic Impact to the return of pro sports as well. Say that again . The Economic Impact, a Significant Impact of pro sports returning, i think you would say . Oh, i mean i think it is, you know, great. I think obviously, people are trying to get back to work and trying to get our country back on track, feeling normal again. Tell you what, me showing up to dodgers stadium every day, see my friends and teammates lifted my spirits. Hopefully we get back to work again. Griff good luck. Go get them. Catch his podcast. The big swing. Rod stripling, thank you very much. Thank you. Griff princeton dropping president Woodrow Wilsons name from their school. The growing outrage over this decision comingit up. New sensodyne sensitivity gum gives us the dual action effect that really takes care of both our teeth sensitivity as well as our gum issues. Theres no question its something that i would recommend. [gunfire] griff we begin with a fox news alert, gunshots ringing out at a protest for Brianna Taylor in louisville. A second person was kill one man was killed, a second wounded. Jedediah meanwhile in washington, the Justice Department charges four men for trying to tear down an Andrew Jackson statue in Lafayette Square. Pete it comes as dozens of rioters face federal charges for rioting during weeks of unrest in the u. S. The Homeland Security department calling on tech giants to make sure social media platforms arent used to encourage riots. I will not hold my breath on that one. Theyre not going to stare down groups like antifa and black lives matter. Welcome to the halfway mark, the 50yard line of fox friends on this sunday morning. Im joined by jedediah bila and giver jenkins. You know griff jenkins. Familiar topics this morning, no example more prominent than the peoples republic of c. H. O. P. Which, griff, were learning this morning may have a shorter shelf life than its occupiers thought. Griff well, well see. What we havent seen is any resolve in seattle. You know, its important to give context. In 1999 the first protest called battle for seattle started there, and they didnt get it under control until well past the damage was done. And now youve got c. H. O. P. And, of course, they are trying to see how far they can push in. While we hear that it may finally get chopped, as our great producers and writers put in an earlier segment, im not so sure thats the case because seattle is always going to be for this group the test case to push the envelope, jed. Jedediah yeah. Like you said, the barriers are set to come down today, but the issue is that hundreds of protesters are remaining in that area. Its been shrunk down to three blocks, and a lot of protesters are saying were not going anywhere until our demands are met. Proposals for the future include removing the barriers to allow for more access, keeping some art installations and Community Gardens inside the c. H. O. P. Long term, provide social services at the protest zone and encourage those living there to leave. I dont know what happens here, i dont know that anyone knows what happens right now if they decide theyre not going to leave. I really dont know. I do know that the rest of the country is watching the response of local Law Enforcement, watching the response of mayors, governors and seeing what happens with Something Like this because this is somewhat of an experiment for a lot of groups, a lot of people looking to agitate saying, well, if we can set up a socalled autonomous zone and decide the police arent allowed in, will it be tolerated . Many are watching and learning about what will and wont stand. Pete yeah. It seems seattles mayor, jenny from the block, is going to use the please if, pretty please approach with c. H. O. P. Rioters. You know, i dont mean to bust their chops, but it seems that the tshirts could be printed now, i started an autonomous zone, and all i got was a Community Garden out of it. Thisll either end in a fizzle, in a confrontation, but what cant stand is the lawlessness that goes with it. We have seattle radio host jason rant on the program, he knows all about the local dynamics there in seattle. I asked him, will this be the end . Theyre not going to remove the barriers outside of this Police Precinct that has been shut down as a result of all of this activism. So thats till going to remain. Still going to remain. How many of the other barriers to reopen the neighborhood, basically, how many will they be able to get removed before someone steps up is and, hopefully, what happened on friday doesnt happen again. Someone pulled a gun on the city workers, and they ended up leaving. Under no circumstance is today going to be the day in which we get that Police Precinct back, according to the mayor. A lot of people seem to think this is going to be the end. No, its a slow death. Griff so the mayor, you know, she thought it was going to be a summer of love. Then people started to get shot, one killed. Now youre going to get the barriers are going to remain in place. The messaging, i think, on this entirely is wrong, jed, from the mayor if shes trying to send the signal that, you know, hey, enough is enough. Jedediah one of many mayors that has failed brutally throughout this whole process. Im just always confused as to what the end game is. If youre someone who established this designated area of c. H. O. P. , what is your end game . Did you really think this was the best way to bring about the change that you wanted to say police arent allowed there is a way to bring about change, and the tearing down of monuments that you dont like, desecrating them or establishing autonomous zones, thats just not the way to do it. And some of these concerns could be heard loud and clear and shared by others. But the way that its being gone about is whats turning so many off and, frankly, terrifying people that this could potentially happen in their city as well. Pete yeah. I think the beginning of the end for the country of c. H. O. P. Is when they were only able to get recognition at the u. N. From sens venezuela and the Palestinian Authority. Woodrow wilson, the president of the United States who helped win world war i, well, theres a school in new jersey, small one, that has a graduate School Called the Woodrow Wilson school of Public Policy and International Affairs at Princeton University. To clarify, were showing you the Wilson Building not in monmouth, new jersey, that is the building at Princeton University. Well, you cant call it woody woo anymore. Princeton university has stripped the name Woodrow Wilson from that school. Heres a portion of the letter that princetons president sent to alumni and to press yesterday. Wilson segregationist policies make him an inappropriate namesake for a Public Policy school. When a University Names a school of Public Policy for a political leader, it inevitably suggests that honoree is a model for students who study at the school. This sering moment in American History has made clear that wilsons racism disqualifies him from the role. So yet another president of the United States canceled because whether his statements were good or bad, lived in a different era, this is the king of progressives. This is the beginning of the Progressive Movement on a very liberal campus. Griff yeah. You know, i wonder what the parents of students at princeton feel. I have a daughter whos a freshman in college. I want her to go to expand her horizons, to learn more, be open to new ideas and to ultimately grow into an adult equipped with the knowledge to make decisions to solve problems. And removing the name, capitulating to this urge to follow ideology does not teach anyone how to solve future problems, and thats not proper, jed. Jedediah yeah. And youre going to see this with rebranding. Weve already seen it, certain products have been rebranded, certain bands names, dixie chicks was one of them that has been changed, and youre going to see this pop up around College Campuses because they cater very much to these kneejerk reactions. When it comes to this building at princeness princeton, studena problem with it back in 2015, but the urgency came with the death of george floyd. Youre going to need to make those decisions. Some people will fall in line and say, you know what . Its 2020, times have changed, and we dont want that name on the building because we want to reflect the social justice concerns that are happening now, and other people are going to say this is crazy because this is part of our past, it was a different time, people lived in a different way, but you cant go back and cancel everything from president s to sitcoms to product names or there will be no end in sight. People will fall on both sides of that debate, and it remains to be seen how far it can development. At what point does it end . Weve talked about the National Anthem. I dont know where it ends, to be truthful. Pete the left has to tear down their standardbearer whos a democrat, a proig. And, you know, history, as you allude to, its a pesky, complicated thing. You dont understand world war ii unless you understand world war i. You dont understand the failures of the u. N. Unless you understand the failures of the league of nation. Woodrow wilson was a president of the United States, a president of princeton as well. Not a perfect person, but if you dont look at what he believed and why, point out what was wrong, what worked, what doesnt work, you dont learn in the future. Canceling him now helps nothing except bowing to those who are always going to pick, to your point, a new target. Its never good enough. Theyll always go farther. Griff thats right. Now weve got to turn to your headlines starting with a fox news alert. [inaudible] aboard air force two at my moment. Hes headed to dallas to meet with Governor Greg Abbott and review the states covid19 response. Hell also speak at first Baptist Church. Pastor Robert Jeffress will be there, he joined us earlier to discuss the visit. Today is not a political rally, i want to make that very clear. The Vice President is going to be talking about the importance of faith, personal faith. Hell be sharing about his own faith journey. Griff Vice President pence canceled Campaign Events in florida and arizona this week as coronavirus cases spiked there in those states. And mississippi lawmakers set to vote today on whether to change a state flag. The legislature approving the first step to remove the confederate emblem on saturday. The measure is expected to pass, and governor reeves says he will sign the bill. That would be history for the magnolia state. Extreme weather, we go. Storms blasting the east coast overnight. Watch this. [background sounds] heavy rain and wind slamming d. C. , virginia and maryland where a tree was brought down on top of a house. Look at that. Streets in the Nations Capital flooded during the downpour, and powerful winds across georgia leaving behind instruction. Trees knocked down and ripped apart in the city of camden. To football we go, the nfl could slash the number of preseason games in half amid the pandemic, two games instead of four. The move would allow more teams to deal with safety protocols, canceling the football hall of fame game, Training Camps are still set to open at the end of july, and those are our headlines. Pete well, add that to the covid19 Silver Lining list, the preseason is always too long for the nfl. Two games . Thats good to see. Griff yeah. I think youre right there. Jedediah im not going to weigh in on the nfl, and i think thats in everyones best interests. [laughter] all right.

A federal court telling Governor Cuomo and mayor de blasio they were wrong to limit religious services while condoning maas protests mass protests. Christopher ferrara is the attorney for those who filed a lawsuit, and he joins me now. Welcome to the show. Many of us have seen an enormous double standard here in terms of how religious gatherings and protests were treated. What do you make of the outcome here with the judicial getting involved . Its precisely a double standard, youre quite correct. And what the judge recognized is a truth that was stated by the judge in the fifth circuit. Similar simply this, the constitution does not permit a Regulatory Regime in other words, there are freedoms for thee but not more me. For me. So in a sense, i welcome the protests. These people have the right to protest a terrible injustice, but they also demonstrate that there really is no basis for this social distancing regime, and the governors own statements and mayor de blasios own statements make that clear. They had no problem with thousands of people pack being onto the Brooklyn Bridge or the manhattan bridge, there was no fear of spikes of the coronavirus. And yet at the same time, they were prohibiting funeral gatherings outdoors, high School Graduations. And on the very day when a massive protest march was moving through brooklyn, children in a brooklyn Orthodox Jewish neighborhood were being kicked out of a park by police. We have a photograph of that in the papers we submitted to the court. So the judges case widely recognized that the double standard just doesnt cut it under the First Amendment. So he remedied that problem. How did he do it. Well, he said, first of all, the outdoor gathering limits of 10 people or 25 people depending on what phase youre in and what region youre in, those limits have to go because theyve been superseded by the massive protests. Not only for george floyd, but for black lives matter and also celebrations of juneteenth. So the limits are gone. The only thing thats required is that people observe social distancing. Which, by the way, the protesters arent. There was a tight limitation of 10 people only in the southern part of the state indoors, and upstate slightly less restrictive regulation in the northern part. Now thats been superseded under the, test order by executive order by 25 for places of worship jedediah christopher, christopher its yeah,er if, i just want to point out we did reach out to both the governor and mayor for a statement, we have yet to hear back. I think the concern is accountability on this issue because there has been a double standard. High School Graduations were canceled, so many things were told that they couldnt be held, and at the same time you had people like de blasio endorsing protests, Mass Gatherings of people. Some were wearing mask, some were not, well beyond 25 people. So i think its important to bring up the larger context here, because this double standard has penetrated all of society even beyond religious limits. Just quickly, do you think there will be accountability for cuomo or de blasio . I dont know, thats up to the voters in terms of the holding of elected office. But accountability judicially speaking would be at the final stage of this case when we move from the preliminary injunction that has been granted to final injunctive relief and the declaratory judgment. What were going to be asking for is a judgment that this kind of thing, this double standard youre talking about, is simply impermissible, and you cant justify it on the basis of public health. Jedediah well, thank you so much, christopher, for being here. I know many people are grateful for this ruling. Thank you for your take, as always. Youre welcome.

California democrats pass a resolution to rename john wayne airport. They want to strip until actors name and likeness over, quote, racist and bigoted statements made by wayne in the past. Opponents say its not fair to judge wayne off comments made nearly 50 years ago. What would the duke think about that . Pete . Pete just another saturday. Woodrow wilson, john wayne canceled. Oh. All right, a florida man is being told by his Homeowners Association to remove the thin blue line flag that has been hanging at his house for the past three years. Hes now pushing back and refusing to take down the flag saying critics are missing its true meaning. He joins me now, retired pascoe county sheriffs deputy sean cannady. It shows your support for not only your profession, but the men and women who still do it today. Theyre telling you to take it down, why . I received a letter just saying to take it down. Its been there for three years. It has a red line and also a blue line, because im representing the Fire Department as well as the police department. The flag represents officers and firemen that have died, but i guess whats going on in this country now, its becoming a sign of hate or racism. Im assuming that somebody complained, filed a complaint, and the letter said to take it down because it wasnt a traditional flag, and thats pretty much what the letter told the us to do. Pete sean, are you going to take it down . And what has been the reaction in your neighborhood in neighborhood . Its not coming down. My wife actually ordered two more, and about ten neighbors have gotten together, and theyve ordered flags. Theres going to be a whole lot of them flags flying in that neighborhood. [laughter] pete we reached out to the hoa for a statement, have not heard back. Where does this go, sean . You heard the headline i just read about john wayne, you know, princetons tearing down Woodrow Wilson. Across the political spectrum if youre deemed to be offensive to somebody for something, and in this case its for serving in Law Enforcement and supporting them, the demand is to take it down. How far would you take this, you know, whats the end state . Ive spoken to two of the members of the hoa. A lot of them werent aware that this letter went out, which i dont understand. One person sent it out, no one really knows about it. The response has been overwhelming from the neighborhood. Ive had several law officers from the tampa bay area reach out to me offering free representation if this goes further. I dont want it go to further. I dont understand. Its been there for three years. Ive had people walk by and compliment if it, ask me what it means. I drive around our neighborhood on a golf cart, and i never have any problems. Again, this is all whats going on in this country right now, the hatred towards Law Enforcement. Theres no other way to explain it. Pete no, there really isnt. Hopefully, this is no need for that litigation. And the fact that people ask you about it is an opportunity to talk about your own service, what you did and why you did it, which is conversation is what this is about. Thats what the flag does. Yeah. Ive never had a negative response. I was in front of my if house after this all came out in the news x people have been stopping and dont take it down, supporting me, shaking my hand. Theres a lot of good people in the world that support Law Enforcement, so so im not taking it down, and my neighbors are putting them up. Pete of course, the haters always complain anonymously rather than coming to your door. I would complain anonymously if i was looking at you as well, sean kennedy. [laughter] thank you for your service. Have a great day. Pete still ahead, as protesters turn out in masses for black lives matter, one dad is asking where the support was when his son was killed by an illegal immigrant. Georgia legal shaw jr. Joins us next with his message for the movement. Jedediah as black lives matter protests continue across the country, one dad is asking where the movement was when his son was murdered by an illegal immigrant in 2008. Pete at just 17 years old, georgia mill shaw jr. Was killed by a gang member who mistakenly thought he was part of a rival gang. Griff joining us now is georgia mills father, author of the book, shattered plans, still a future of hope. Good morning, jamil, thanks for joining us. We always appreciate you taking time, and weve certainly had another week of what we see in the streets, a lot of americans out there trying to process it. What is your thoughts this morning on this . You know, its, like i said, the George Floyd Death was really bad, you know in the father, you know, i know how it is for your son to die right in front of you. But my son was murdered. I ran outside, and he was looking just like george floyd right now. He had his face to the side with his eyes closed like he was asleeped Still Holding his cell phone. Asleep. But that lumpness in his body limpness in his body was something i never seen before s and the see george floyd like that, you know, i knew it was bad. But, you know, once it goes there, it seems like black lives matters only focuses on black people who were murdered by the police. You know, my son was murdered in 2008, and i reached out to anybody that would listen, especially black people because i thought for sure i would have a lot of support in the black community. But because of the illegal aliens and the way they get all the support in california, no one would jump on board because they didnt want to have to, you know, justify the illegal alien part. So they just let me go by myself. So i ended up being a conservative because thats who reached out to me, republican people, conservative people started coming to me, and i started seeing through the liberals and the dems that they were just trying to use me. You know, it just let you know that were all black people should matter. Shouldnt be just if youre murdered by the police like its some kind of death lottery like, yeah, i won. I was murdered by the police, so we get something out of it. Everybody else just gets screwed and has to sit on the sidelines and pretend like, you know, theyre getting over it. Pete where does that double standard come from . You talk about your son killed by an illegal which is based on policies that politicians allowed to exist. Why is there an unwillingness to be critical of that when a person of color is killed innocent on the streets . You know, the way i see it when with i was growing up, it was obvious that a lot of black people were, like, we didnt like the black man. Everybody was accusing me of being used by the white man. Anything but im mad because my son was murdered, you know . And as it goes on, they start feeling that the only way you can basically survive is you have to act like, you know, like youve been victimized by other people. So then when black people tend of to have the problem with the white man, they were starting to use latinos as a way to go after the white man, and we could help. So they saw them as we come in peace, so they never did anything. And then they took over our community, and when the black people started complaining about it, were the racists, you know . Were the ones out of jobs, our whole infrastructure is latino. You cant even get soul food in my neighborhood. Im not against mexicans in general but, you know, what about black people, you know . You see black lives matter if youre killed by the police, its okay. We can tear down and burn down buildings, but if youre murdered by an illegal alien, you have to be quiet. My son was murdered by an illegal alien from mexico while his mother was in iraq. Can you imagine me as a black man and a father, his mothers in iraq serving duty. She calls me from iraq to ask me is it true that shes hearing that the chaplain, her commander told her her son was murdered think how i feel as a black man and a father that happened on my watch in i can never live that down in my mind. His mother might feel that, you know, youre supposed to be watching the boy, and now hes dead while im overseas, you know . When the family of a military person goes overseas, nobody wants the military at their house because they never do anything wrong. Can you imagine how she felt in iraq when they called her into the office to tell her her son was dead . Find out an illegal alien from mexico . Thats not right. Jedediah jam if iel, were deeply sorry for the loss of your son. Cant imagine the pain of that experience. We just want to give you a chance to just pay tribute to your son. Say whatever youd like about him and any message you may have to black lives matter or to the Larger Community about how you feel that your son was not paid proper tribute to, and you were felt ignored at the time by a lot of politicians and by a lot of organizations. Yeah. Its sad because, you know, when my son was murdered, i really thought because we had three black city councilmen, council people, and i really thought id have support. And when i went to each one of them individually, one of them told me i was being used by the white man, one of them told me i have a kind of exclusivity on murder, and the other one told me that i opened up a hornets nest. And i was, like, what did i do . My son is murdered, i come to you guys for help. Im not saying you gotta put em in jail or run down illegal alien gang members, but theyre leaving out everybody that has been murdered not by the police. And its not fair to our loved ones, you know . Were not out in the street. Do you think i didnt feel like enraged my son was dead . I didnt go out and pick on every illegal immigrant in the city of l. A. , i havent bothed anybody. Im bothered anybody. Its not fair when i watch on tv. The only reason they care is that theyre killed by the police, and then they get to tear down the city, burn up everything, loot everything, and nobodys going to jail. Im like, man, this is unfair, you know . Im black, wheres our help . I know a lot of people not even black, their kids are dead. Theyre moms and dads, and they get nothing unless you hit the lottery, the police did it, yeah, baby, we did it. The police did it so its like a celebration. But now since the police did it, we can destroy everything, you know, and the people who need help get nothing. Peter jamil shaw, thank you for bringing memory to your son. Thank you very much. Griff thank you. Jedediah to your headlines now. A massive water main break causing havoc in atlanta.

If name the falcon, my suggestion is blue. Griff, over to you. Griff well see what happens. Thanks. Standing up for history, thats the goal of our next guest who is organizing a rally today in defense of a statue of former president Teddy Roosevelt. The statue is set to be removed from outside the museum of national history. The mayor backing the removal saying, quote it explicitly depicts a black and Indigenous People as subjugated and racially inferior. It is the right decision and the right time to remove this problematic statue. Joining me now is Young Republican Club president gavin wax. Gavin, what are you doing today and why are you doing this . Thank you for having me, griff. Told, as you mentioned, my club, the new york Young Republican Club, will be leading a rally along with activists from across the five boroughs to demonstrate in defense of the equestrian statue of Teddy Roosevelt which greets millions every year as they enter into the American Museum of Natural History which is an institution that would not even be there today if not for the great work of our 26th president who was an American Patriot and icon. But make no mistake about it, this is about much more than just one statue, this is about a cultural revolution which is engulfing our nation. Left mobs across the countries are seeking to destroy and erase American History, our past, and they will do so under any guise whether its Racial Justice or some other inequity in society. But we have to realize this is really about one thing and one thing only, power. Because those who control the past control the future as weve seen throughout history from revolutionary, to the soviet union and maoist china. Our demonstration today, we are hoping to send a message to the silent majority, as its called, across this country that they should be silent no longer and that we have a great history, a great legacy of a nation. Its not something to be ashamed of, its something to be proud of. We should stand tall and defend it. Griff gavin, youre giving me hope that your generation understands a critical important aspect of history expect role that it plays, but and the role that it plays. Is the hypocrisy also recognized by your peers insofar as roosevelt was a explorer, an outdoorsman and perhaps the reason for that particular statue is problematic, but also effective, he played a role in founding that museum itself. Yeah. Theres a lot of hypocrisy going on. And the Museum President claim theyre removing it due to its, quoteunquote, hierarchical composition which is just a fancy way of saying teddy roos as well as is the roosevelt is the most prominent figure in his own statue. The figures with him are standing tall and proud, not subservient. It doesnt matter how innocuous the statue is, the left will always find an excuse to take it down, to deface it, to destroy it, and we need to stand up. Griff gavin, are you concerned for your safety . Have threats been made against you for holding this protest, if you will . Right. Well, luckily, so far no. It is the daytime, and we know that these cops are not these thugs are not fans of the sunlight. We have numbers, we have history on our side, and were not scared of the mob. Griff be safe out there, gavin, and look forward to seeing what happens. Check back in with us if you l. Thanks, gavin. Thank you. Cheers.

You may remember the twin squad if when they first appeared on fox friends last year. These pintsized Police Officers have traveled the country meeting and honoring those who serve, and now their parents are speak out on why their mission is more important today than ever. Nypd lieutenant twins evan and aaron join me with their mom, kelly, and their dad, alejandro. Welcome all of you to the show. Look at you guys in your little uniforms. I love it so much. [laughter] so, kelly, just remind us how this all started for people who dont remember the origin of this all. How did it begin . About three years ago hi little cuties writing on the sidewalk, decided that was a joke, of course. It went viral after that, and ever since these little twins have been supporting the police, dressing up as them, hoping one day they can be one. Uhhuh. Jedediah you guys are famous, evan and aaron. Can i ask you, evan, what do you think about the police . What do you think about the police . Theyre seeing each other on the screen, so theyre will it, like [laughter] jedediah i know. That happens to me too sometimes. [laughter] evan, are the police your friends . I like being a police. Jedediah yeah . What do you want to do when you grow up, aaron . Eating doughnuts. [laughter] jedediah that sounds good. Okay. So alejandro, let me go to you on this. So what does this mean . We see a time right now where theres been a lot of antipolice sentiment around the country. Its a tough time to be a police officer. Why, what does it mean to you to have your sons be paying tribute to Police Officers and putting a smile on so many peoples faces right now . Right. You know, theyre the next generation. So we feel that if we keep doing this, maybe, you know, things will be different, you know, down the line. Theyve met so many people, they see, you know, its a tough job, you know . But theyre very good people, you know . Weve seen the human side to them every time we visit some of these precincts, they always have Something Special for the boys, they have a lot of programs. And they really want change and, hopefully, we can keep spreading that message, and we definitely see that change down the line. Jedediah you know, kelly, its so important because youre establishing very really on a really positive relationship between your children and Police Officers. So what is your message to people around the country right now . We know that we need police and community to bridge that gap. What ises your message given how your family is doing an amazing job doing Something Like that close to home in. Especially during these troubling times, we want the message out there that we need to Work Together as a community, as a society. And we need to teach the our kids early on the respect that we have for our city. Down the line we can have a better future. Jedediah aaron, evan, thank you guys so much for all you do. I know you put smiles on so many faces including my own right now and our audience. Loving you in those yawn forms. Thank you all for being here. Appreciate it so much. Bye. Thank you for having us. Bye. [laughter] jedediah bye. [laughter] next up, Vice President pence is on his way to texas right now as the state and country deal with a spike in covid19 cases.

Thats why usaa is giving Payment Relief options to eligible members so they can pay for things like groceries before they worry about their insurance or credit card bills. Discover all the ways were helping members today. And my side super soft . Yes, with the sleep number 360 smart bed on sale now, you can both adjust your comfort with your sleep number setting. Come on pup, time to go. Can it help me fall asleep faster . Yes, by gently warming your feet. But can it help keep me asleep . Absolutely, it intelligently senses your movements and automatically adjusts to keep you both comfortable. So you can really promise better sleep . Not promise. Prove. Its our weekend special, the queen sleep number 360 c4 smart bed is only 1,299, save 400. Plus 0 interest for 60 months on all smart beds. Ends sunday. Jedediah we begin this hour with a fox news alert are. Today c. H. O. P. Will finally be chopped. The barriers around seattles copfree zone will be dismantled. Griff occupiers have been there for nearly three weeks. The area includes a Police Precinct. Its not clear when officers will be allowed to return. Pete its happening today, well see if it actually happens, if the peoples republic of c. H. O. P. Is no longer, itll take real leadership in seattle which has yet to be seen. Meanwhile, in new york city, hundreds of protesters camped outside city hall for a fifth straight day. Theyre calling for a 1 billion cut to the nypd budget. Police say its not a good time to i to cut funding because the city has seen a spike in violence and shootings. Its on that note we start the final hour of fox friends on sunday, june 28th. Welcome, im joined alongside jedediah bila and griff jenkins, our favorite swamp monster. [laughter] great to have you. Griff, this is not just something in seattle or new york, in our Nations Capital weve seen these same spikes in confrontation. Griff we sure have. Here in d. C. You can have the arrest of four of those protesters that tried to topple the Andrew Jackson statue, a development that, you know, otherwise had been unchallenged as we had the protests here. And, of course, you in recent weeks come down with the National Guard to take control of the streets. But really i think youre seeing the culmination, and whats unique about where you guys are, pete and jed, in new york is you have both the continued protests and the lawlessness in the streets married to spikes in crime. And, jed, thats certainly going to be a problem for gotham city. Jedediah yeah, it sure is. I mean, Violent Crime has been spiking. Manhattan in particular has looked terrible, frankly. It hasnt looked so bad in years. Its hooking scary again. Looking scary again. And now you have hundreds of protesters demanding that de blasio slash 1 billion from the nypd budget, you now have the nypd seeing a spike in officers filing retirement. Not only do would have an anticop sentiment that is alive and well in places like new york city, but you also have now budget cuts where police are going to turn around and say, listen, you know, were being blamed for things before weve even done them. Already its assumed weve done something wrong, and now youre taking money away from us that prevent ares us from keeping these community safe. How am i supposed to do my job and risking my life for someone else and that i have some support system behind me be it from the mayor, the governor and what not. A lot of police in many of these communities dont feel they have that. I know, pete, you spoke to a panel earlier who weighed in on that. Pete yeah. They talked about what this kind of environment does on the ability to recruit, retain. Youve seen massive retirements in new york city, up 60 . Heres a portion. The attacks on Law Enforcement needs to top. People need to get a grip and understand that officers got into this profession to help people. And if we dont turn this around, theres not going to be anybody left. You put your life on the line every single day which means one of those days out of 20 years you may lose your life. So why not leave when nobodys going to back you and youre going to be second guessed on what youre doing . You dont want the police . Fine, were going to go. If i was a kid coming in with a College Degree or without a College Degree, i wouldnt join the police department. Id be a afraid to. And i think that thats really scary. Pete it is a scary reality. I dont know where the condemnation is coming from the mayor of all these protesters who are not abiding by his social distancing protocols in the middle of covid19. And if you defund police, who are you going to send to the beach to enforce social distancing there or to churches when people want to worship . The double standards and hypocrisy are glaring every single day. And the lack of clarity from the man wanting to be the standard bear on the democrat side, joe biden, handling it only makes the situation worse. Griff the frightening reality also, pete, to ping on this point, is pick up on this point, is that these protesters will not come to the Meeting Place of discussion insofar as the majority of Police Officers in this country are good, honest and putting their lives on the line. You have to back up to that point because Police Officers text me all the time. I know they do you as well saying theyre devastated by the way Law Enforcement is now treated. The respect they once commanded is gone essentially overnight amidst one of those difficult times in our nations recent history. I just dont see that changing, and thats the sad reality, jed. Pete yeah, thin blue line. Jedediah yeah, it is a sad reality. There is another story that we are also following because just moments ago Vice President pence boarding air force two in washington. He is heading to texas to discuss the States Coronavirus response with Governor Greg Abbott. It is seeing a surge in covid19 cases as the u. S. Marx another daily record of marks another daily record of infections. Texas is joining florida in pausing reopening plans. The Sunshine State closing bars to curb the spread. Vice president postponed his Campaign Events in florida and arizona over covid19 concerns. Obviously, this is something that weve been following. Youre going to see more testing, youre going to see some spiking, and a lot of these politicians, these mayor, these governors and the president and the administration are learning how to navigate these tough waters because you have buzzes that have been businesses that have been closed for a very long time that are eager to open. You have some responsible people out there and some irresponsible people, and thats just the way of life. At some point everyone knows life will have to resume. Its just about making sure that those hospitalization numbers stay down and the most vulnerable members of the community are protected, and sometimes that proves very challenging. Griff yeah, miamis mayor says, look, miami is closing its beaches for the fourth of july. Take a listen. Once we started opening particularly restaurants, people started congregating in large numbers. They sort of forgot about the rules. And what we know about this virus is that its very aggressive in its growth. The other issue is just mass congregations. Areas where people congregate massively. And we know that our beaches, particularly during holiday weekends, are areas of mass congregation. It may be true that its more dangerous inside than it is outside, its more dangerous to be in places where theres mass congregation. Pete what a genius idea, close the beaches on the fourth of july. We know what sunshine does, what being outdoors, how important that is, yet wear check the transcripts, maybe theyre there. Was he equally draconian in response to protests that happened in miami over the past month . People not social instanciing bg outside . Distancing, being outside . Numbers do lie if you want to manipulate them. We have a spike in cases, what about the increase in testing . If its younger people being infected and recovering, thats very different than the nursing home disasters in new york state. Its at about not overwhelming the hospitals and the death rate. Thank god you havent seen a corresponding increase in death, and the hospitals are not overwhelmed. So thats a good thing, and in order to be able to get back to normal, we have to talk honestly about that. Well, joe biden who only talks when hes talking to local media certainly not to reporters, its been over three months, hes still hiding in his basement had a Campaign Event yesterday. Theres no video or audio that came from it, but he laid out the three most important things he would tackle on day one as president. He said the coronavirus, the economy and systemic racism is what he laid out. As, you know, you guys know this, there is growing pressure, speculation about who his running mate may be. Hes already said itll be a female, likely now a woman of color. If you remember, top on that list is Kamala Harris. Heres a portion and could that marriage actually work, . You had a segment about this earlier. Lets remind our viewers about a year ago an exchange they had on the debate stage. It was hurtful to hear you talk about the reputation of two United States senators who built their reputation and career on the segregation of race. You also worked with them to oppose busing. Finish theres a little girl in california who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools, and she was bussed to school every day. And that little girl was me. Pete jed, do you think they can make a duo out of that nonetheless . Jedediah i know. Its like everyones buddybuddy. Dont you love that, when politics are on the debate stage calling each other out, and then all of a sudden theyre best friends . Only in politics, right . Kevin walling, a democratic strategist earlier on the show debated this out. Listen to some of that right now. You run hard when youre running in a primary. Sometimes theyre ugly and unfortunate, but ill note dr. Joe biden was campaigning with senator harris just two days ago and raising a lot of money for the campaign. And, of course, theres a closeness between the Vice President and senator harris. Yeah, the problem with joe biden getting the larger attendance of black voters in the polls. That little girl was me was a polltested stunt six months in the making designed to sell a lot of tshirts. Democrats want to continue to play this identity politics. They think somehow they can rebuild the Obama Coalition by throwing a brown face at the bottom of the ticket. Griff add to that, i think, one of the reasons why Kamala Harris is very attractive right now because its a sense of unity, right . They hated each other, now theyre coming together in the theme of unity will be a big one for biden. Well see how that works occupant. Turning now to your headlines, a man is shot and killed at a protest in louisville. [gunfire] griff gunshots ringing out during a peaceful protest for Brianna Taylor. A second person was wounded. No arrests have been made. Taylors death sparking demonstrations nationwide. She was shot and killed by police during a noknock warrant in march. And the u. S. Justice department charges four men for trying to tear down an Andrew Jackson statue in washington d. C. Prosecutors say they tried prying the chew off its base for a statue off its base. Charges should be a warning to rioters across the country. And Evacuations Ordered overnight in the fastgrowing brush fire spreads in utah. The traverse fire is burning just south of salt lake city. Police believe it was sparked by fireworks. Strong gusty winds are fanning the flames, more than 500 acres, no injuries yet. And check your bank, a towns customers panicking after finding missing or added funds in their accounts. They took their concerns to twitter, some say hundreds or even thousands of dollars went missing and that the chase app wasnt working. Others say money was mysteriously added to their account. Chase has not responded to the claims, customers say the problems have been resolved. Those are your headlines. Pete all right. The Minneapolis City Council voting to disband their police force but also spending thousands of taxpayer dollars on, you guessed it, private security for the very Council Members voting to get rid of the police. One state lawmaker here to react, next. Taway driver. Theyre going to be paying for this for a long time. They will, but with accident forgiveness allstate wont raise your rates just because of an accident, even if its your fault. Cut sonny. Was that good . Line the desert never lies. Isnt that what i said . No you were talking about allstate and insurance. I just. When i. Lets try again. Everybody back to one. Accident forgiveness from allstate. Click or call for a quote today. Pete all right. Weve been telling you all about the Minneapolis City Council this morning taking the next step to displanting the police force there dismantle. Now fox news confirms the city has spent 63,000 of taxpayer dollars for City Council Members receiving threats over their vote and push to defund the very police they now have protecting them, although theyre private. Here to weigh in, Minnesota State Senate Majority leader paul georgia. Thanks for joining us this morning paul gazelle. Give us the reality on the ground. The City Council Voting to defund the police while requesting their own security of people with guns. Well, its pretty amazing, you know . In minneapolis st. Paul we have over a thousand buildings damaged or destroyed in the riots because there were not enough police here, and then what do they want to do . Defund or dismantle the police. It makes absolutely no sense, the direction theyre trying to go. Pete what are democrats saying . I mean, this vote was unanimous. The city council controlled by democrats in minneapolis, but statewide or in the city, leadership, from the governor to neighborhood and their businesses. And you have to ask why do they want to get rid of the police when its not best for the citizens. You have to have the police there. You cannot stop lawlessness without defending the law. And to do that, you have to have Police Officers. And i think we should do reform. We talked about a number of reforms, but not dismantling the police. Pete mr. Majority leader, you know, the police chief there is black, a lot of the force very diverse. Yet the claim is that overwhelmingly its systemically. Jedediah we are back with some headlines now. Soccer players take a knee during the National Anthem before their game. Players from several teams in the National Womens Soccer League also wearing black lives matter shirts over their jerseys. Its the First Team Sport to return since the pandemic began. And one regan tweeting if youre in michigan and 18 or older, please, for the love of god, do not vote for my dad for state representative. Going on to explain she disagrees with his platform. [laughter] pete her dad applauding her confidence and layoffing laughing know. Robert regan joins us now. Robert, you are in the hot seat. You want the voters to say yes, but your daughter is saying no. Why . Well, quite frankly, i think it has to do with the indoctrination of some of the liberal and leftist, socialist, marxist university. I loved your intro how i said i applauded her. I really do. None of us expected it to go as viral, especially as a father and family, you dont want this stuff going out in public. You know, families are supposed to be safe spaces. I think it caught all of us off guard. But, yeah, shes one special, special young lady, and im just really happy for her, to be honest with you. Jedediah robert, your house must be really interesting at holiday time when those political discussions start. I have to confess though, i didnt know how to feel about this. On the one hand, i was kind of angry. I was like, thats your dad. Its one thing to disagree, but to do it so publicly like that when hes trying to win an election. But on the other hand, i want to support her as, you know what . This is what she feels and believes, and you have empowered her as a parent, job well done, to feel confident enough to put that out there. Yeah, and jedediah what is the message yeah, go ahead. , no i was just going to say i dont want to for a second let everybody think, yeah, thats no big deal, im just so happy and proud of my daughter. I was hurt. I mean, i was deeply hurt. That stung. When i first saw that, it was like, oh, my goodness, are you serious . That was you should, im getting phone calls from fathers, mothers all across the country about how i handled the situation. But they said what she did was flat out evil. It was wrong and just shouldnt have been done. And i use im not the first Family Member to ever be thrown under the bus. Joseph was sold in slavery, but god said you wanted it to be used for evil, we used it for good. I dont want anybody to think im attributing what my daughter did is evil are. You have to understand what these College Campuses are like today. These young women and men want to fit into the group, and weve seen this for a decade whether its ben shapiro, ann coulter, charlie kirk, every one of these people who tries to speak on a College Campus gets shut down. They have to hire security, theres riots. So the whole idea that this is a bastion of free speech and ideas, that just doesnt fly anymore. Griff robert, do you think that the michigan voters should vote for you based on your recent demonstration and deep understanding of unconditional love . [laughter] absolutely. Thats a great platform to run on, unconditional love. Remember, unconditional love doesnt mean unconditional agreement. When my children were younger, every father and mother across the country can understand this, when your little girl or your little boy is at the checkout counter and they saw, dad, if you loved me, youd get me a candy bar, i want a candy bar. Thats not love, thats extortion. And its very similar to whats going on across the country with all these riots. They are demanding certain things. They want to burn down the country, burn down the system unless they get what they want. Im sorry, we just dont operate that way. Griff very quickly, robert, what would you like to say to stephanie this morning on national tv . I love you, sweetheart. Youve always known youre my favorite. [laughter] griff there we go. Pete smart man. Jedediah oh, man. Pete youre right, if i had a dollar for every person who came to me and said my son or daughter went to college and came back a socialist, id be a rich man. Scarily, scary what our colleges across the spectrum are doing. Robert regan, good luck. Youve got a great nature about this. And say hi to your daughter. And, griff, youve not a great name. Weve got the grand rapids griffins here. Jedediah thanks, robert. Moving on, a federal judge ruling new York Governor Andrew Cuomo and mayor bill de blasio were wrong to limit religious gatherings while also condoning mass protests at the same time. Pastor du rell scott joins us next. My nunormal fewer asthma attacks. Less oral steroids. Taking my treatment at home. Nucala is a oncemonthly addon injection for severe eosinophilic asthma. Not for sudden breathing problems. Allergic reactions can occur. Get help right away for swelling of face, mouth, tongue, or trouble breathing. Infections that can cause shingles have occurred.

Ask your doctor about nucala at home. Find your nunormal with nucala. We like it loud jedediah it is your shot of the morning. Rain did not stop this parade. President Trump Supporters taking part in a boat parade in new york. Griff its the first ever trump stock boat parade, dozens of supporters hitting the water despite summer showers. Pete they traveled down a parade route while following social distancing guidelines. Which, im told, easier to do on a boat. A lot of images of parades like that down in florida as well. Trump supporters taking to the lake, taking to the river. All right, another support of the president , pastor daryl scott, cochair of black voices for trump 2020. Pastor, thanks for joining us this morning. You know, a lot of people have been pointing out that if you want to go to the beaches on the fourth of july and theyre closed, then you should just say youre going to protest, and then apparently that will be okay. A federal judge has declared recently that Governor Cuomo and mayor de blasio were wrong to limit Worship Services while also praising mass protests. Do you feel like some sanitys returned with that kind of ruling from the judge . Yes, i absolutely do. Those judges were correct in reprimanding deblahs owe and cuomo de blasio and cuomo for their stupidity. Theres a clear double standard that exists in their minds between churches and secular institutions, between gatherings of protests and worship. They put the masses over morality as if theres an e endeavor going ford forth in our country and in new york to exclude god from American Society while being inclusive of everything else. And it seems as if the Democrat Party is the driving force behind this mindset, behind this act activity. I think we need to dismantle the Democratic Party because they are, it seems like theyre the proponents and the i cant even think of a word. Everything thats good in American Society, they want to bring in the bad and eliminate the good. How can you threaten parishioners and pastors and the rest, how can you threaten churches with closure, but you stand there with your hands in your pocket and your thumb up your you know what while they loot and pillage and sack the city . I cant understand it. Its just clear absence of leadership. They dont have any courage, they dont have any guts jedediah yeah. They dont have any theyre absolutely disgusting. Get those guys out of there. Replace them. I wish the protesters would come in and carry them off or something. Theyre horrible. Jedediah just wanted to note, obviously, pastor, the double standard has been on display like never before. We reached to out to both Governor Cuomo and mayor de blasio for a statement, we have yet to hear back. Well keep you posted if we get a statement from them. But i want to shift over to texas. Important day in texas today. The Vice President , Vice President pence, is heading over there to meet with evangelical leaders. So what is your take on the evangelical vote right now in joe biden seems to be coming out and saying the voters are with us, the Trump Campaign obviously meal feels very differently. Feels very differently. What do you think . The evangelical support for President Donald Trump is secure. I dont think weve lost many because evangelicals even though we know that the person isnt perfect, we understand that this is probably the most prochurch, progod president that weve had in recent memory. And so in looking at the moral values of the conservative movement and deciding which president ial candidate because we have to support somebody. Were going to vote for a candidate. So when you look at the candidate of choice, we think donald trump is the clear favorite for the evangelicals. He hasnt lost any of his support, and were solidly behind him. Give e give yeah. Pastor scott, let me just ask you about the demographic because africanamericans are very religious, faithful people, and, of course, Vice President biden has a strong black support it looks like at this point. And so will some of the churchgoing crowd slide over to biden despite President Trumps position . Well, you know, to be honest, the black church seems like its become an arm of the Democratic Party. There are a number of pastors and leaders in the black church, my colleagues and they can get upset if i say this or not, but it seems that they value party over principle as well. Theyre valuing party and the masses over morality. And so there are members, individual members in the black churches that will vote their conscience and vote for morals and principles over party. But the leadership of the black church en masse, it has become an arm of the Democratic Party. And its sad. And, you know, with me, with them being my colleagues, i can make this criticism without being accused of bias. I think some of them need to wake up and get on their knees and go to god and ask god, which of these candidates should i vote for, and which of these candidates more clearly will protect and preserve that which we believe in. You know, its, clearly, its President Donald Trump. Pete pastor darrell scott, we appreciate it. Thank you, god bless you. Pete byebye. Jedediah were going to turn to some headlines now. Thousands of protesters gather in colorado demanding justice in the death of elijah mcclain. Why are you in riot gear . I dont see no riot here. Jedediah demonstrators scuffling with police after officers doused them with pepper spray. Three people were arrested. The protesters also marched on a highway, shutting it down. Mcclain died in Police Custody last year. Officers put him in chokeholds as paramedics injected him with a sedative. The three officers have been reassigned. And a deadly crash is linked to human smuggling in el paso, texas. The u. S. Border patrol says agents were chasing the car when it crashed. Ten people were in the car, seven of them divided. Three of them were Illegal Immigrants from mexico and guatemala, the other four were from el paso. Three others were hurt. Authorities believe the immigrants were being smuggled into the u. S. And a pilot is saved after his plane crashes into the ocean. The frightening moment caught on camera. [background sounds] oh, my god.

Well, it really is, griff, and what this is going to do, its going to i long gate the contraction elongate the contraction. Right now were expecting pretty sharp in the Third Quarter, could be up to 30 in the second quarter, but we are expecting growth. Larry kudlow was on with me this past week on mornings with maria on fox business, and he said to expect 20 growth in the Third Quarter and fourth quarter. Of course, that comes into question if we see more states slow down the reopening and put it on pause. Were going to talk about this in the next hour on sunday morning futures, ive learned from a number of wall street firms that wall street betting on if a Biden Administration does materialize and biden win, he is going to make Elizabeth Warren the most important Economic Voice. So were going to talk about this coming up in the next hour, Elizabeth Warrens plans for the economy and how to get things up and running because, apparently, theyre trying to make deals right now where in order to get the bernie bros and vote for bind, the agreement is that for biden, the agreement is that hell make Elizabeth Warren his treasury secretary. Shes going to be a key Economic Voice in terms of where the economy heads next, guys. Pete wow. Stunning but not surprising considering where the modern Democrat Party is today.

I couldnt get on the spin class, they work so hard, theyre in such great shake. Maybe pete, maybe hegseth can do this. Look at this, theyre smoking it, were outside enjoying the fresh air until we get the word from the Governors Office that we can, indeed, open. Were locked and loaded and pleading with the governor, you build up your immune system when you work out. So, please, we want to work out and start going to the gym as soon as possible. Pete joe, its a beautiful thing. Weve covered another gym in new jersey whose doors have been closed, they took their weight lifting equipment outside as well. How insane is it that these businesses are so disrespected that they cant adhere to guidelines and be open like, say, a nail salon can be . So true. People are great.

That last one really important so that people know when they show up in the morning for their workout, it was cleaned properly. You know, youre absolutely right, griff. I am a germophobe. And now stacy, my Business Partner here, you could eat off the floor here. Let me tell you something, its to clean, its so sanitized, we bombed it, we cleaned it, we wiped everything down. Its cleaner, we came in here and now were social distancing, we got the retrofitness masks, i got my boomer natural a masks so were being very, very careful. Ill walk around with gloves sometimes, but ive got to tell you, this gym is cleaner than my house, man, its cleaner than my office. Im loving it, and we would love for griff joe opening up.
