Griff im in the juan seat in washington. Im proudly here, jed. Pete as you are. Jedediah pete, use those as a little nap area. If you dont have a segment, i dont see why the pillows cant be made to good use. Pete good point. In the first segment, in on honor of you i will take a nap. Griff no sleeping. There is too much news. Pete we start with a fox news alert. Chaos in our country. Violent clashes erupting across the nation. [gunfire] pete one person is killed after gunshots ring out at a black lives matter protest turned riot in austin, texas. Police declaring officially a riot, after this youth jail construction site is torched. Griff rioters clashing with police, throwing bottles at officers. 21 cops hurt. 45 people arrested. Meanwhile portland seeing 59th straight day of unrest. Protesters bring down a federal courthouse fence. Rioters setting an American Flag on fire, watching it go up in flames. Jedediah protests take a violent turn in richmond, virginia. Police declaring an Unlawful Assembly as they set a dump truck on fire outside after police headquarters. In aurora, colorado, hours after a jeep drives through a crowd on an interstate. Protesters reportedly shot at the driver injuring two people. This is crazy, what were seeing emerge around the country right now. Look how many cities were talking about now. Austin, texas, aurora, colorado. Richmond virginia. This seems to be expanding. I think about the fact that federal authorities have to be in the locality toss to protect federal property. You know what, if local politicians are fighting get federal authorities out. What would they do if they had actually had to do the job . Is there a argument made if you dont want the help, let federal authorities leave. Do you want to be held accountable if the cities go up in flames. They dont want federal authorities here. You guys are agitating the situation. Youre the reason this is happening. Griff they cant do that. That is the whole point, right, jed . There is obligation on behalf of Law Enforcement. Mark morgan the acting cbp commissioner yesterday, theyre required by law to protect federal property. That is why under 40 u. S. Code 1315 theyre allowed to do so, to make arrests connected to threats to that property. In the Mark Hatfield courthouse they have tried to burn down literally night after night. Why this has escalated. There were chants i herd, i read, we are with portland, coming from what we saw in richmond last night. Pete. Pete griff, you are correct. You capital how courthouses federal property to be defaced without creating a slippery slope. Jed, im tempted by your perspective. If this is what you want in your city. If you cant control it. If you created such a toxic environment in these democratrun cities, deal with it yourself. You created this mess, ultimately the feds shouldnt be your punching bag and an cues for excuse for the anarchy in these streets, the mayors are cone conveniently saying, if the president hadnt federal Law Enforcement officers to protect the courts whos we wouldnt have the violence which is a fake, false argument. With these images. It draws, well talk a little bit about the Biden Campaign and a memo they put out at the 100 day mark until the election. It provides the contrast, do you want to burn america down or rebuild it . Do you believe we can move past this . Is this what youre going to see in the future going forward. Feels like repeat, guys. We wake up every morning. Where were the riots. Where were the explosions, where were people attacked and happens next . Griff let me tell you though, there is a, event today. It is because of portland, youre having rallies here in d. C. Pete, you are here. National guard protecting monuments. Now well have a rally today. A group called shut down d. C. One of the activists groups are planning on going to acting dhs secretary chad wolfs house, big poster on social media, rally at chad wolfs house. The department of Homeland Security, and was deployed to portland last week. Unidentify federal agents kidnapped protesters. Violently attacked. Were asking for a rally at chad wolfs to demand trumps troops to be removed from every city. Every person detained by cbp to be freed. Well have Ken Cuccinelli, acting deputy dhs secretary on 7 30. Word of advice for the fellow protesters. Fine to exercise your First Amendment right. That is the point all along since this all began two months ago. Here is the deal, when you go after, if you infringe on the security after sitting u. S. Secretary, you had better be willing to accept the consequences that will come because they will not, in any way, tolerate violence against a sying member of the cabinet. Jedediah yeah. Can you just, look at these photos. People, look at these images. Youve been talking for a long time about calling these riots and not protests. Does this at any normal person who is sitting at home looking at this, does this look like just a protest at this point . I mean things are going up in flames, being set on fire, the violence . It looks like a war zone in a lot of these cities. Lets be really honest what is going on now. This is not a peaceful protest you have federal authorities coming in and disrupting. This is craziness. This is terrifying if you live in one of these cities. That is why theyre there. They have no choice. They dont know what to do to contain the situation. Anyone saying this is peaceful protest at this point . This is laughable. Look at imagery were showing. Pete explosive devices thrown at police. That is straight out of the marxist playbook. Attempt to es can late in the manner and through intimidation hope things change in your direction. Griff, youre right, it wont work. It is a next level thing. Well protest an individual where they live at their home with their family, which crosses yet another line. They dont care about crossing lines. Griff jed, a great point about imagery. Yesterday i was watching in selma, alabama, the flag draped coffin of the late civil rights icon john lewis. They were playing america the beautiful in the service. I watched it while making dinner. Struck me here is one of the countrys great civil rights icons fought nonviolently for change in country he continues to believe. In portland, they do not believe america. They actually hate it and dont believe in its greatness. Talking about greats that we have lost, Regis Philbin a legend in television saturday. The world pointing out their sympathy. Kathy griffin, appointmenting there is no words that i have to express my precious love for regis. We tradition and friendship we share up to this very day. I smile no somewhere in heaven he is making someone laugh. That he had a personal relationship with his lord that brought him great peace. I send all my love, in my heart to joy, his children, the rest of his family, to the innumerable people he touched in his legendary life. There is nobody like him and there never will be. Jed. Jedediah Regis Philbin was one of my favorite people to watch on tv. He did television the Way Television should be done. He was warm, real, made you laugh. When times were tough out in the world, you could turn any show he is on, he would make you feel better. He would make you feel good inside. I watched him with reg guys and kelly at the time. It was best morning tv. You feel like a break from the hardness of the world. He was a fantastic host of television. Sitting own the church very couch. We have a flashback, of our very own Brian Kilmeade having exchange with regis. How many times a day can you see this side. There is a chance you will be shooting in our building. That means well get in the line so thal together, get a big salad, see each other in the hall. How should i act . Should i ignore you. You should call me mr. Regis. Mr. Regis. Would you answer or probably wont . Only to mr. Regis. Say goodbye to mr. Regis. Say goodbye to, mr. Regis. Jedediah that is great exchange. If you talk to people who knew him. I didnt have the honor knowing him. People say he was that guy. You see people on tv, they were not that way on tv. He was funny, charming a regular guy who happened to make it in tv. He wanted your house to feel like a warm, amazing place. That is pretty cool. Well have a few special guests. Brian kilmeade will be on the show. Dean cain will want to share memories of Regis Philbin. He was filling your homes with laughter and lightness like mine throughout the years. It will be a great tribute. Pete i didnt know him.

All eyes on capitol hill where Senate Republicans are expected to release the covid19 relief bill tomorrow. As the 600dollar federal unemployment benefit expires for millions of americans after today. Our next guest says it is essential Congress Pass another stimulus. Here to explain, former chief economist for the u. S. Trade commission, peter morici. Peter, thank you for being with us this morning. Stimulus come it feels like a blinding pace. Why is it essential, and what should it look like, peter. This crisis is lasting much longer than anticipated after the first stimulus was passed in march and most of the benefits are running out. The Unemployment Benefits are essential. At least 15 Million People dont have many prospects working next few weeks, to say theyre not working because theyre betting benefits is silly. I expect to see the unemployment benefit extended. It would be nice if they werent interrupted. They dont have to be at 600 a month. They can be at the level which they were before. That would be fine. Pete unemployment benefit will be part of it. You have heard the criticism it is so robust that maybe it is preventing some people to go back into the workforce. You think right now with the possibility of another dip that thats not something we need to worry about . How many restaurants do you think are going to be reopening on monday morning in portland after tonight . If youre pete it is a fair point. There are awful lot of places right now where businesses simply cant reopen. And, the northern cities are good example. But there is also other places where the viruses are such that even if you dont have lockdowns, the foot being traffic is not there. We have tracking data in this crisis we didnt have in the financial crisis. Are people making reservations through the apps . We have weekly tracking data on hiring which we didnt have in the last crises. They all show in the last few weeks the economy turning down. So my feeling is to say they are not taking jobs because theyre getting the benefits is silly. But we can scale them back so people arent being paid more to be unemployed than they were before. This is not a her cue lien task and i think it is being demagogued on both side. Nancy wants to give everybody more than they earn through february. More free money from the democrats. The republicans are playing to the base, saying we dont want any freeloaders. Reality, a, it is needed, time to compromise to get it done. Pete how about Liability Protection for businesses that open, is that in there . I would think it will be the senate bill and democrats will have to go along. You will not get Mitch Mcconnell to approve something without it. And he is probably going to have to pay for that with a little more in Unemployment Benefits than he would like. Each will have to pay for the something for something dear to them. Thats washington. Pete that is how it works. Youre absolutely right. A study came out reveals seven in 10 americans buy from Small Businesses intentionally to support them during covid19. How is this impacting the economy . I think its a positive thing to do because a lot of Small Businesses just dont have the volume to stay open and theyre frankly out of cash. We have businesses closing every day where i live. That will never reopen again. So my feeling is, if people can steer their spending towards these Small Businesses, theyre doing themselves a favor. After all, they do want the storefronts occupied, you know, come this Time Next Year the virus will behind us. Well have the vaccine. Everybody will be immune, all that business. We want to have a vibrant economy when we return. Reporter peter, i hope you are correct. May you be. Thank you very much for your time. We appreciate it. Still ahead, we flatten the curve.

Jedediah thats something, griff. Flatten the fear. Thats the name of the campaign backed by 1500 doctors to reopen schools. They signed a petition in support of getting teachers and kids back inside of classrooms this fall. The Job Creators Network foundation launched the initiative saying in part the risks of reopening schools for nonadolescent children are low while the reward, scholastic, social, economic are significant. Joining us is president and ceo of the Job Creators Network, white house hispanic prosperity commissioner alfredo ortiz. Welcome to the show as always. It is great to have you here on have a very important topic. Talk to us about this petition signed by a number of physicians, what it says, and where you think this whole conversation is moving . Jed, thanks so much. By the way were up to just under 2,000 signatures already, and that list continues to grow. Unfortunately, parents, teachers and students are really caught in the crossfire of an election season, of a president ial election season between republicans and democrats. Theyre having it out, unfortunately like i said, parents, teachers, students, especially students here are going to be hurt. Were very concerned about that. That is why we asked, put this petition out there, we are getting this kind of response which is amazing. You actually come from a family of teachers. You yourself i believe were a teacher. You know that teachers are saints in terms of the patience needed to teach kids. You know, parents are stressed, first of all, to know end in terms of what they can do to teach their kids at home, not, just because youre a great parent doesnt make you a great teacher. Were concerned about the level and quality of teaching that really is taking place in this home, you know, inhome learning environment and when you think about the negative social and Economic Impact that it is having on our families, especially quite frankly, lower income, lower income households, this is tremendous, tremendous issue. I have to tell you, jed, this is actually very personal for me. I came from one of those lower Household Incomes when i was a kid. I have to tell you the saddest part of my day when that bell rang at the end of the day. I had to go back to a dad that frankly wasnt the nicest dad own the planet. School for me was my safety zone t was also a way of creating community. What were taking away from our kids, especially in this what the petition is about, especially area, social Development Aspects of going to school an learning there is so, so critical. Were taking that away from our kids. That is why again we put this petition out, and were getting the kind of response, positive response. By the way this is also supported with science. Science is on our side on this jed. We got first of all cdc making a recommendation already. Go ahead. Sorry. Jedediah i grew up in a house where both parents had to work. There wasnt really another financial option. So i dont know what would have happened to a child like me in a situation like this. It would have been really, really scary for my parents to figure that out. One of the concerns parents have, what will this look like . Theyre scared sending them to environment where kids are in masks all day. Where they are in a bubble. Healthy interaction in schools doesnt exist. Is that something you can speak to at all . Jed, there is a study been done with 15 Different Countries that already sent their kids back to school. Absolutely, the classrooms will look different, we know that, because of social distancing, because of the different precautions have to take place. It will look different. Look, you talk aabout masks. Make the masks fun. Create projects. Make them superheroes. Why do they have be black and blue masks like youre in a hospital . Do outdoor learning. This is great opportunity to use outdoors as classrooms. You dont necessarily have to stay in the classroom. Expand that out. Were talking about the case rate specifically. Theyre the ones really, really desperately need social development. High schoolers they have a little more opportunity, a little more independence. My focus is the case rate. Teachers, you know, were saying is, please, speak out, speak up, stand up because we know, as you were as a teacher in the past, you love your kids, right . You love your children. You know this is the right thing to do. Jedediah yeah. Lets not let this political nightmare traching taking place in the election season be the reason why our kids are hurting today. Jedediah thanks so much. You bring up an important point of teachers and schools need to think out of box. By the way have a spiderman mask. Im ahead of the game. We appreciate it. Hartleys birthday in november. Happy prebirthday. Jedediah yes. Thanks so much. Appreciate it. Appreciate it so much. Thanks, jed. Byebye. Jedediah as violent new protests spread across the country, Lawrence Jones is hosting a new special called one nation. He will join us next for a preview. Dont miss it. Were teaching deescalation. A matter of people to learn to trust the police and not distrust. What im worried about is that if youre not expecting the shock, and the markets fall dramatically, you might panic. And in the midst of that panic, you might sell and run to cash. At the very moment, you shouldnt. At the very moment, prices are at their low. Thats my fear. Im not worried about the country. Im not worried about the financial markets, because in the long run, i know theyll be fine. Im worried about you. Im worried about how you will personally respond to this crisis. And even if you dont panic, you may. Pete late congressman john lewis will make the final crossing over the emmett pettis bridge in selma, alabama. After a hometown tribute in his hometown. Alicia acuna is live in selma with more on todays services. Good morning. Reporter good morning to all of you. Congressman john lewiss final journey across the Edmund Pettus bridge will go north and south. This is the path he and 600 others attempted to take 55 years ago from selma to montgomery, as they were demanding Voting Rights and equality from governor george wallace. Alabama state troopers advanced on the group unleashing tear gas and beating hundreds including lewis as they knelt to pray. Bloody sunday led to the Voting Rights act later that year. In the ame church here in selma, the mayor told folks gathered, they consider this the birthplace of true democracy, in large part due to john lewis. In my eyes he was really coming to give birth to democracy, birth to a new nation, that we will fill with so much possibility and so much promise but it took someone the magnitude of a john lewis to come help to give birth to democracy in these United States of america. Reporter lewis served 33 years in the house of representatives, becoming known as the conscience of the congress. In 2016 he led a sitin on the floor of the House Chamber with other members of the Democratic Caucus to protest gun violence. Once the caisson crosses the bridge, the casket will be continue to take on to montgomery, where he will lie in state in the capital of alabama. Back to you nice. Jedediah thank you so much, alicia for that. Well bring in Fox News Contributor warren stone, who is also hosting a fantastic special tonight on fox called, one nation, that you absolutely wont want to miss. Lawrence, welcome to the show as always. What are your thoughts remembering john lewis. Good morning. I first met john lewis, i told people i was a young democrat before i went over to the right and he was one always supportive of young people. This is not a weak man. He was not a weak man. He was one that was strong with his words but he was also a peaceful man and he was one that condemned violence but he wanted to get his point across. You know there was so much back and forth when, back in the day with him and mlk because he wanted more action and he was a young, precocious leader. Snick was founded in response to elders saying i think you young people are going too far with policy. He wanted to get his message across in a peaceful manner. When i was a young dem, fighting the establishment within the Democratic Party at the time, he was one of the ones that stood up for the young people. Ultimately he left. John lewis was one of the ones that kept so many young people involved when they were getting discouraged with how things were currently being run. Griff lawrence, because you have such a diverse view of things from the Democrat Party in lewis and now more conservative, youre here with us on fox, your special tonight at 10 00 p. M. , one nation is so important. Want to play a clip. Get your reaction. What changed . The culture. Working with the community. The biggest change you hear talk about defunding the police.

People learning to trust the police, not distrust. Griff lawrence, on the streets, getting information firsthand. Tell us what well learn tonight . Im going to go talk with the people. That is it what i do. It is so hard to navigate this conversation when it comes to race, the violence, when it comes to Law Enforcement from a studio. You have to go talk with the people. So thats what i did. Im going to talk about when the state abuses its power, they should be held accountable. When the city is in flames because citizens terrorize the community, they should be held accountable. I will talk about how you bring the police and community together. We talk about what is gods answer to fixing these troubled times . It will be a great special. Hope you check it out, tonight, 10 00 p. M. Eastern on fox news channel.

With everything going on in the world they still want the american dream. Weve seen a big shift to places that are the new new york, the new california, the new illinois.

Idaho which is not a populous state just yet. They have access to it. People enjoy the outdoor living. That has been, that has been a big push. Colorado, like i said, no one will ever knocking colorado. Places like denver continue to grow, it is no longer a place you go in the ski season. Weve seen a big push to denver as well. Can you hear me okay . Pete rogers, on that texas is another one. We see businesses move to texas. You say people are as well . Were based in north texas and dfw. Texas is big last five years.

Texas has seen multiple fortune 50 Companies Move here last three years. It will continue to happen. The difference between washington, texas, florida, colorado, North Carolina on as well, texas doesnt really have the mountains. Texas doesnt have the water. Were kind of flat. Texas has been great. Florida proven to be another state people are flocking to. Not just because of the water. It is because of the affordability factor. Not necessarily beach towns. Weve seen places you know, inland that have done very, very well, especially in the pandemic. Millenials will be moving to these places in droves. Griff look out, snowbirds, youngsters are cog to florida. Rogers healey, thank you very much. Be safe. Griff all right. Meanwhile baseball is back on fox.

He is talking about there is a lot of pillows. Never know what to do with pillows on the couch. He has gone rogue on the couch with rest of us out. There you go, you figured it out. Griff what are you talking a bow for. Pete i didnt know what else to do. Thats all i got. Not a talented person. Jedediah great to see you both. Pete great to see you too. Jedediah pete on the couch doing heavens knows what with the pillows. Pete i throw them at gabe to keep him awake. Jedediah Griff Jenkins live in the house from the swamp. Always a great way to start the morning. We have a lot of news to begin with today. We begin this morning with a fox news alert because there is chaos in america. Violent clashes are erupting across the country. [gunfire] jedediah one person shot and killed when several shots were fired at a black lives matter protest in austin, texas. A suspect is in custody. In seattle, police declaring a riot after this youth jail construction site is torched. A nearby courthouse vandalized as windows are shattered. 21 cops are hurt, 45 people were arrested. Pete meanwhile portland seeing the 59th straight night of unrest. Police using tear gas after rioters bring down a federal courthouse fence. Rioters setting an American Flag on fire. Symbolic how they really feel about our country, and we know it, watching it go up in flames. Griff protests take a violent turn in richmond, virginia. Police declaring an Unlawful Assembly as rioters set a a dump truck outside. In a record can, colorado, they set fire to a courthouse hours after the driver werent through a crowd in interstate. They allegedly shot at the driver. What happens in portland seems to spread to other cities. See knit richmond. Reports they were chanting, we stand with portland. Of course what were seeing there in colorado as well. Pete very clear attempt to destablize our country. The hatred of the current president feed as lot of this. It is long since divorced from whatever origins of the anger. Now this is antigovernment, antipolice, antidonald trump protests. And the police are right to be responding more forcefully having learned lessons, we hope, from places like seattle when the autonomous zone. You have to arrest people when they are throwing batteries and explosives at police. Lets hope they get the tools. Although reports are conflicting with democrat mayors totally unwill back the police. City councils talk about defunding them. It is not a good situation, jed. Jedediah imagine the reality, not in one of those cities, having Something Like you have just seen evolving on the screen go on for 59 days, not two days, three days, 59 days and have local politicians do absolutely nothing about it. Only thing they get angry about is getting federal authorities out of their cities. What do they expect people to do . I always justify the location of federal authorities there, just saying, there is federal monuments need to be protected. They have a right to be there. Thats true but on the other hand im so tired of local politicians getting a pass, saying this is all happening because of President Trump, because of federal authorities being here. No, it is not. It is happening because you allowed massive and widespread anarchy in the cities. You have done absolutely nothing about it. As a result, someone had to step in to do the job you were supposed to do. That is what is going on here. Anyone looking at images, doesnt matter if youre in the images, that your to in, your family, will be next target that is left to run like wildfire, literally, wildfire through some of these cities. Pete you used the word terror. That is domestic terrorism, when in organized fashion attacking Law Enforcement. It has been called as such by authorities. Griff important to point out this comes as were now four months into the worst pandemic of our lifetimes. All of these cities, all americans trying to get it under control. It comes as coronavirus cases now topping 4. 1 million as the nation records more than 1000 deaths for a fifth straight day. Rich edson joins us live as republicans are set to unveil a second relief package, possibly tomorrow, rich . Reporter good morning, griff, jed, pete. Top Administration Officials spent some of their weekend own capitol hill negotiating the details what are expected to be the next Coronavirus Relief package. The treasury secretary steve mnuchin, white house chief of staff mark meadows, were on the hill meeting with senate staff yesterday to develop a republican bill that Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell is expected to release tomorrow. The initial 600dollar boost to Unemployment Benefits Congress Approved in march is now beginning to expire. Republicans are looking at a different formula, this time. One ensures a government benefit that insures no more than 70 of a workers previous pay. Mnuchin says were moving quickly. It is an important issue. We want to make sure there is technical correction so people dont get paid more money to stay home than to work. Administration is it looking at the same 1200dollar direct payment to Many American families. White house chief of staff mark meadows said, quote, im confident if democrats are willing to focus on those unemployed and need assistance. The most they will fine a way to get at least address that need while we continue to perhaps negotiate beyond that. Even if the white house and Senate Republicans agree to a plan, that just amounts to the opening republican offer to congressional democrats. Theyre looking to keep 600dollar unemployment benefit. Democrats want hundreds of billions of dollars in state and local aid. Johns Hopkins University says have been more than 4. 1 million confirmed coronavirus cases in the United States with more than 146,000 deaths. That is more than the 16 million confirmed cases nationwide and more than 640,000 deaths around the world. Back to you. Pete rich, thank you very much. Appreciate it. This weekend marks 100 days until the election. Its coming quick. And rich talked about covid19. We talked about the riots across this country. Of course the economy front and center as they talk about the stimulus and helping individuals get through this moment. Well the Biden Campaign put out a memo yesterday. It is really a messaging document. But its a strategy memo. Campaigns do this all time. They lay out three or four pages where they think they are, what the vulnerabilities about their opponent, what they think their advantages are. This document was no different this is portion what bidens Deputy Campaign manager had to say about his path to victory. Talked about covid, then race, economy and brass tacks. They have 2,000 staff on board in augusts. Tens of thousands of additional volunteers across the country. Well see where those come from. 14. 5 million ad buy in florida, arizona, wisconsin, michigan, North Carolina, pennsylvania. 100 days out weekend of action to encourage voters to get involved in Virtual Events across the country. Here is a quote from womans name is Kate Beddingfield. She is the Communications Director as well. The conclusion voters continue to draw is straightforward and clear. Joe biden cares about you and his family, donald trump only cares about himself, super wealthy and corporations. He doesnt care who he hurts. One portion of the memo, that i think has some truth to it, is that the Trump Campaign is in some ways failed to defined biden. How do you define a guy in his basis and empty vessel for what the left wants. This is not how they say it but they see that as an advantage. Griff . Griff what is interesting about this, in this memo Kate Beddingfield says victory will be based on a coalition of the suburbs, seniors, africanamericans and young voters but you know, heres the thing. Im not so sure that strategy is going to work with suburbs, with seniors who are afraid of what youre seeing in portland for two months straight. What youre seeing in other cities like seattle. Look, the fear, if youre a senior, you certainly understand that the basis of civilization is law and order enforced with fair justice and youre seeing also the rnc chairwoman Ronna Mcdaniel pushing back, less than 100 days to the election, the Enthusiasm Gap points to President Trump. Here is a little bit what mcdaniel says. A Little Wonder joe biden is failing to motivate voters on his own party. Raising taxes on2 of americans or eliminating entire sectors of the Energy Industry along with millions of reliable, good paying jobs is not rallying cry for the campaign. A candidate cant be bothered to field a few questions from friendly reporters cant be trusted to lead our country. Interesting response. Jed, i would tell you, i would love to ask Kate Beddingfield pointed questions how they intend to win with suburban voters with seniors, when you have news of unrest every day . Jedediah yeah i think the Enthusiasm Gap theyre worried about is real, is tenable. A lot of people are not excited about joe biden. That is no secret. A lot of time remains. He will pick a vicepresident ial candidate to run with him. That will be big. It is very early to look at the polling to really count on it. There is too much happening. Look what is happening in the country. So much changes daytoday. We have a global pandemic. It is really insane what you see on the news daytoday. Look at the mass protests turning into riots. What is good, this set as good gauge where the country is right now. You will have two very different, distinct visions between joe biden, President Trump how to handle what is going on right now, be it pandemic, school openings, riots around cities how to deal with. That well see where the country stands based on who people vote for, who they elect. You will know what the pulse of the country is feeling right now. I think that is really important. Often times you poll people. Theyre not honest with you, you wont get accurate view. Well know results very soon. Two very different visions. A choice here or there will be quite telling.

Jedediah progressive congresswoman alexandria ocasiocortez and Rashida Tlaib proposing to defund President Trumps Opportunity Zones, believing the program overly benefits wealthy americans investing in these areas. Thousands of these zones were created in the 2017 tax law meant to revitalize poor communities through private investments. Here to react, executive director of White House Opportunity Revitalization Council scott turner. Welcome to the show. This is really important. These Opportunity Zones. First and foremost remind us the significance of these zones, why they were created, and what they aim to accomplish . Good morning, and thank you so much for having me. The question came up what can be done for the forgotten communities and forgotten people in america and President Trump and those in the administration when asking questions, through the tax cuts and jobs act created the initiative. 35 Million People in our country live inside of these Opportunity Zones and Opportunity Zones are those communities that have higher poverty rate than the state average. That have lower, much lower median income, often times a high crime rate. Each governor, territory leader was given a task to designate or nominate the Opportunity Zones and 25 of these are available. As a result, 8764 Opportunity Zones across america have been created but the root of it to your question is what can be done to lift up our nations most vulnerable, distressed communities and the people inside of these communities, to create, you know, new jobs and new businesses, better housing, retail, you know, to help people fulfill their godgiven potential and use their skill set to take care of their families to start businesses . But the root of it is, people in our Country Living in poverty. So how can we help to lift them up. Jedediah yeah. So what is your reaction to the push to defund them . I think that is a big mistake and you know we cannot say as a people, as america, we are concerned about our most Vulnerable People in our country if we want to take away this, most Important Initiative of the Opportunity Zone legislation. You know i have the privilege of stewarding this council along with dr. Ben carson, hud secretary ben carson. Ive been around our country. Our team has been around our country. Ive been to over 60 cities, 65 cities of our most vulnerable communities, convening stakeholders together, both democrat and republican. The beauty about this initiative it, transcends politics. It transcends ethnicity and creed and socioeconomic background. This is a call to release private capital into areas that have not seen investment in decades. Not only that but to create Public Private partnerships to bring about all of these stakeholders together. As i said before, create business. You have education leaders, im sorry. Did you Say Something . Jedediah no problem. It is a very different, no it is a very different view investing private capital as opposed to relying on government investment. Were out of time for today, scott. We very much appreciate you digging into this. We know the debate will not end here. Well have you back. Thanks so much. Thank you.

Pete they call it steve saxs disease, couldnt throw from second base. It happened to the chuck knoblach. You know the definition. A new true reporter griff, welldone. Nearly half of reporters think cancel culture goes too far. 49 believe cancel culture has had a negative effect on society graham allen joins us. I am jealous. Stole the title of my third book. It is fantastic. Before we get to the book, i do want to unpack your argument a little bit, the cancel culture a lot of people agree it is bad. Amongst millenials and younger people seem to be more okay with it. Where are we on this. Ironically i talk about this in the book. I think it is sad were breeding a new generation that thinks that just because you dont like the way something feels or just because you dont like the way something sounds that you should do everything in your power to cancel that person or that business. I mean god forbid someone has a different opinion than we have in todays society. We need to cancel, cancel culture, pete, because too be blunt. Cancel culture kind of sucks. It is okay to agree to disagree. It is okay for people to Say Something that you may not actually like. And believe it or not, people arent perfect. It is okay for people to make mistakes. So maybe what we should actually try to stop trying to cancel people and businesses. Maybe we should try a little bit of grace and understanding sometimes. Pete could use a little bit of that these days. Where does that mentality come from, where are kids learning that we need to shut it down . Oh, my goodness, i think, that again, goes with the current climate which we find ourselves. It goes into, honestly if were being honest, a lack of parenting in the sense, hey, life isnt always going to go your way. People are always going to give you not exactly what you want and people will not always think exactly how you think. Pete absolutely. Break down the new book, it is america 3 16. What can america expect. Go to america 3 16. I made my entire career saying what everyone else wants to say. 60 of americans cant express what they feel through repercussions of cancel culture this book is for you. They may not let me write another book. I put prolife, profreedom, prosecond amendment. A chapter says our rights are not up for debate. My god, if not every day onslaught infringement of our rights, i wish that chapter wasnt prevalent today you about unfortunately it is. This book is for real americans and i hope that everyone will check it out at america 3 16. Com. Pete you served country in uniform. You have a huge following. Youre known to be a truth teller, a blunt speaker. I got a copy of that book. It comes through the pages as well. Congratulations. Graham allen, thanks for joining us. Well see you again soon. Thank you, man. Pete you got it. Coming up federal officers targeted. Cpb releasing images of metal spikes used to puncture their vehicles as they work to reduce violence across the country. Acting dhs secretary, deputy secretary, excuse me, Ken Cuccinelli joins us on the latest on their mission coming up. If your dry eye symptoms keep coming back, inflammation in your eye might be to blame. Looks like a great day for achy, burning eyes overthecounter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. Ha these drops probably wont touch me.

Xiidra is the only fda approved treatment specifically for the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. One drop in each eye, twice a day. Dont use if youre allergic to xiidra. Common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort or blurred vision when applied to the eye, and unusual taste sensation. Dont touch container tip to your eye or any surface. After using xiidra, wait 15 minutes before reinserting contacts. Got any room in your eye . Talk to an eye doctor about twicedaily xiidra. I prefer you didnt xiidra. Not today, dry eye. [shouting] griff back with a fox news alert. Chaos break out across the country. Police declaring a riot in seattle after a construction site is torched. 21 officers are hurt, 45 people were arrested. Pete meanwhile portland seeing it its 59th straight night of unrest. Police using tear gas after rioters bring down a federal courthouse fence. They lit American Flag watching it go up in flames. Jedediah protesters take a violent turn in richmond, virginia. Police declare a Unlawful Assembly as rioters set a dump truck on fire outside of police headquarters. Well bring in acting dhs deputy secretary Ken Cuccinelli. Welcome to the show. Were seeing some of the footage in multiple cities across the country, is particularly terrifying for residents of cities. What is your reaction to what is going on . Burning the American Flag is almost an emblem for these people that appears to be their goal. That is just destruction. We saw mayor wheeler of portland go out try to appease them the other night. They booed them down. Literal his own police had to declare a riot. So many on the left think they can appease these folks. Theyre violent but part of their political base. Theyre far more destructive people are giving them credit for if you will. Police officers like Seattle Police, richmond yesterday, standing in the breach. Were doing it in portland around the federal facilities. Griff ken, i want to show you mark morgan, acting secretary of cpb, tweet the out a picture. You see metal spikes used by criminals in portland to puncture tires of cpb vehicles. As i understand it right now, ken, as many as three of your officers who may lose their sight permanently because of the lasers. Is the threat escalating . Can you speak to your concern for where that goes . Well, we expanded our presence in portland because the threat escalated going into the july 4th weekend. That intelligence of a higher threat turned out to be correct. And you noted they are close to two straight months of violence every single day in portland, partly because of their own mayor, who is the police commissioner, ties the hands of his own police. So the federal officers are left to defend the court hours and federal buildings without local cooperation which is very ray not to have local cooperation at the Law Enforcement level. You see some of the results. Laser attacks. Tire punk you aring. These are violent, violent acts. One sets up the other. They use commercial fireworks, mortars, they shoot them sideways instead of up. They hit three officers. At the same time to they use lasers to attack their eyes. Those lasers can do damage. Regularly available lasers unfortunately on the market can do eye damage. Theyre being used to intentionally do that. That is what our officers are facing. These are not peaceful protesters. These are violent anarchists. That is what were dealing with. Pete absolutely right, mr. Deputy secretary, i have to ask you about your boss. This is getting personal. A group in washington, d. C. , posting on facebook a planned protest of the acting secretary chat wolf. They wrote this on facebook. The department of Homeland Security under the leadership of acting secretary chad wolf was deployed to portland, oregon last week. Unidentified federal agents kidnapped protesters with unmarked vans, tear gas row protesters, violently attacked them. Were calling for a march and rally at chad wolfs that trumps troops remove from every city. Were calling for every person detained by cpb to be freed. Your reaction to them saying well pitch ourselves outside of a member of the cabinet . Yes. So this is a good example of how these people are not about free speech. Theyre about destruction and intimidation. That is what this is. It is nothing more. You know, you can express yourself elsewhere. As a former state attorney general, as i recall, it has been a few years, it is not legal to protest outside a residential house. You can walk by but you cant stop and loiter there, for this very reason. Because it is intimidating. It is threatening. That is exactly what they intend. Chad wolf isnt going anywhere. He led this effort at the department of Homeland Security with confidence and competence. You expect that to continue. But, this is a tactic youve seen in richmond, in portland, in seattle and it wasnt directed at republicans. This is not new or unique here but it is intimidation. It is just below the level without the directed violence, just below the level of terrorism. Jedediah no question, ken. I want to shift over to Barbara Boxers. There is oped in the Washington Post. Check out the headline, Barbara Boxer, former senator. Dhs was a mistake. I regret voting for it. We have a quote from the oped, i never imagined a president woe use unconfirmed puppets like acting secretary chad wolf and his deputy Ken Cuccinelli to terrorize our own citizens. Your response, ted. The people terrorized in portland are citizens and Business Owners down there. We havent gone beyond our federal authority and laws that she has voted for, she notes, defending the courthouse and protecting federal facilities. There are people afraid to go to work there now. Understandably so. If you, if you step back from that courthouse, walk around, you can see very clearly there are messages parented on the buildings. You can see very clearly theyre very violent intent. This is, you know, this is preservation of an area of federal responsibility, in terms of both property and life. So you know, for Barbara Boxer to suggest that the department of Homeland Security is somehow responsible for this is foolish. This was going on a more than a month every day before we expanded our presence. Griff ken, explain to me, we have only a little bit of time left. It was 909 vote to establish dhs 2002. 18 years later the organization that protects the nation are attacked by those that supported it in time of national unit. Why people like senator boxer coming out blasting it now . Obviously this is political. Lets be real basic. The Law Enforcement agency called the federal protective service which most people never heard of, most days they have a very quiet existence. Theyre responsible for protecting these buildings. The cpb and i. C. E. Folks we moved there a few weeks ago are there to support the federal protective service. They existed and did that mission before the department of Homeland Security existed. They were moved into the department of Homeland Security but take the hatfield courthouse there in portland. They have been protecting that building since it opened in 1997. For barba boxer point to dhs, instead of the mission she along with others charged us with, we are fulfilling legally constitutionally, article i, section 8, paragraphs 1, 9 and 18. Are what those laws are fulfilling. She has voted for that. You cant have a courthouse and not protect it. That is not a realistic option. Pete nope, it is not. Ken cuccinelli thank you very much for your time. Good to be with you all. Pete turning to some extreme weather, overnight hannah downgraded to a Tropical Storm after battering southern texas. Hannah made landfall as a hurricane slamming the state with 90 mileperhour winds and heavy rain. Hawaii is bracing for impact as hurricane douglas inches closer to the coastline earlier this morning. Meteorologist Rick Reichmuth is tracking it all as he always does. What is the latest rick . Rick hawaii, you will be fine. We had more concerns for hawaii. The storm will go north of it. That is good news for hawaii. Hannah was a significant storm. God up to 90 mileanhour sustained wind shore, pulled onshore, brought with it, storm surge and flooding. Center of storm is across u. S. And mexico. It will pull off towards the southwest away from the u. S. Bringing significant rain across the northeastern part of americas co. Here is the radar picture across the country. South getting a lot of rain. Even areas towards new orleans, plaqueminess parish, some of the energy moisture pulled in towards hannah. Hannah across parts of south texas. To the north of that were also watching some storms part of what is monsoonal moisture you see popping up in the afternoons across the four corners. You will see that again today. Pretty significant weather across the central plains. One thing to watch, guys, heat coming back across the midatlantic and northeast. Another heat wave starting today. Temperatures above 90. Griff will be a hot one. Thank you, rick. Still ahead, former President Joe Biden is expected to announce his running mate but will his pick unite or divide democrats .

Discovering that feeling has never been more effortless. The lincoln summer invitation sales event is here. Pete joe biden getting closer to pick a running mate as the race for the white house enters the crucial 100 day stretch. Biden pledged to pick a woman and expects to make his decision before the Democratic Convention on august 17th. Our next guest knows some of the top contenders personally he will break it down. Fox news contributor and former president obama advisor, robert wolf joins us. From his nonyacht location. Great to have you. Without getting into the particulars of disagreements you and i would have about joe biden, break down the picks that he could make and the pluses and minuses of those potential picks. Great. I would like to start by saying we vote for who is at the top of the ticket. That is one thing you and i already spoken about. All those these veepstakes has huge chatter pete i didnt come to pick a beef with you today. Some people feel like this v. P pick is more consequential as others almost a shadow presidency in light of other things. You can say that. I knew you were going to say that. The way i would say it, three have been in the top five since the beginning and they are the three with most experience, right . You have kamala harris, who is, you know, certainly ready for day one, especially as were involved with this whole idea of systemic race and inequality. She seems to be certainly one of the top choices. Elizabeth warren is, excites the part of the base that joe doesnt have, but she also bring as different voice on economic inequality. She is obviously very strong in the recovery. Susan rice, obviously with the pandemic, and what i would call very mixed relations with our Foreign Affairs around the country, former ambassador, head of the National Security advisor, would, and we know she getting along well with joe, those three seem to have always been in the top five. By the way for me, i know kamala and susan over a decade as well as Elizabeth Warren. I would feel incredibly comfortable with any of those three. Pete im with holding my comments. If you ask activists in the Democratic Party who are they clamoring for when it comes to energy . It is interesting. I think that James Clyburn said it well, we just want to win. I think there is a part of the base, there has been a referendum on donald trump, well getoutthevote. Im not as worried about where we were in 2016 when secretary clinton struggled to get excitement of the base, above the bernie bros. There is no question, 96 of Bernie Sanders people said they are voting, i dont know exactly. There is already excitement to get to the polls. What i would say, you have another 3 or 4 that is definitely in the mix still. Val demmings of florida.

You have Gretchen Whit hears 70 popularity in the swing state of michigan. You have Tammy Duckworth of wisconsin, of illinois. Who is a former vet. You have obviously Tammy Baldwin of wisconsin. But i would say that it feels like kamala, susan rice, Elizabeth Warren and now karen bass make out the top four. So you have three of the four women of color. Pete we shall see.

After two weeks of fundraising. It is set to go up in st. Helens oregon tomorrow. Kate willoughby, founder of the campaign joins me now. Why are you doing this . Yeah, i always supported the police for a while and i feel like a lot of people say right now isnt the time but for me, i think it is a perfect time to be supporting our Law Enforcement. A lot of them have been injured in riots and some have died. We need to show support for people that protect us every day. Griff was there a moment, was there something that just sparked you, led you to take this action . You said ive seen enough, now im going to do this . It was pretty much within our town where people decided to start saying that all cops are bad. In my eyes that is a false claim and that was i had to say enough is enough. Griff caden, youre a College Student, many of your peers, many in the millenial selection there, police are fundamentally bad. Why do they see it that way . Why are they misled . I think it has a lot to do with people within our community that kind of try to push them to think a certain way and, i always am the one to think for myself. I think more with common sense than, common sense would tell me that the Law Enforcement officers protect me from harm every day. We know that there is bad copes but there is a lot of good ones as well. Without them i think it would be a horrible place to be. Griff just lastly, in the seconds with have got left, caden what has been the response to this billboard, to what youre doing . Weve had a lot of great response from Community Members but weve also had a lot of people that have turned on me as a human being here in st. Helens. People dont agree with it. I think the response has been great overall. Griff caden willoughby, back the blue billboard. If you want to know date, search back the blue billboard. Its a gofundme page. Cadeen, impressive, sticking by what you believe in and your principles. Thank you for having me. Griff all right. Still ahead, congressman Louie Gohmert, Brian Kilmeade, maria bartiromo, dr.

Catch it, catch it. Oh, i couldnt get it straight at the camera. Next time. Pete ah, there we go. Griff i caught it yeah, it was a great throw. Well done. [laughter] good morning. Happy sunday to you. Griff jenkins in washington, or the swamp as pete and jed call it. You guys up in new york. Morning. Jedediah what did you throw, pete . Pete i just threw a piece of paper at him. It brings me back to the time where you were hosting right below me, and for the entire show, i threw an entire ream of paper at you. Griff just things to keep pete on track. Pete its barely legible. [laughter] but its great to have you both. Jed, great to have you. Were at the halfway mark here on the sunday edition of fox friends and, as always, a great deal of [inaudible] fox news alert, chaos in america. Violence erupts across the country. [background sounds] pete one person shot and killed at a black lives matter protest turned riot in austin, texas. A suspect is now in custody. In seattle, a construction site is torched. 21 cops were hurt, 21, and 45 people arrested. Griff portland seeing its 59th straight night of unrest. Police using tear gas on rioters after they bring down a federal courthouse fence, rioters also setting an American Flag on fire, watching it go up in flamings. And police declaring an unlawful gathering in richmond, virginia. Jedediah and in colorado, protesters rally outside Aurora Police headquarters hours after a car drives through a crowd injuring two people. Really crazy to see what is going on around the country right now, what started out in one city has really created a domino effect throughout other cities as a lot of these troublemakers get wind of the fact that local mayors, governors arent going to do anything, and they have free rein to engage in destruction. Very, very sad sights to see, pete. Pete yeah. And unraveling really based on an opening when they abandoned that Police Precinct in minneapolis, the cascading effect was a total disregard for authority, largely out of hatred for a sitting president and the people that support him. These are no longer protests, these are attacks and riots, illegal activity. And its going, its getting personal, guys. Were learning overnight that a group in washington, d. C. , griff, theyre planning a protest outside a member of the cabinets house . Griff yeah, thats right. Theyre called shutdown d. C. Posting on facebook, rally at chad wolfs house. Now they, of course, have a First Amendment right to protest, march, but lest they should engage in any sort of threatening a sitting secretary, they will be treated as criminals. We had Ken Cucinelli, the acting dhs sec taxer on earlier secretary on earlier talking about that and the protests we continue to see in portland. This is a good example of how these people are not about free speech. Theyre about destruction and intimidation. Thats what this is. Its nothing more. Chad wolf isnt going anywhere. He has led this effort at the department of Homeland Security with confidence and competence, and you can expect that to continue. But this is a tactic youve seen in richmond, in portland, in seattle, and it wasnt directed at republicans. So, you know, this is not new or unique here, but it is intimidation. It is just below the level would want the directed without the directed violence, its just below the level of terrorism. Griff yeah. You know, we talked to i cant think as well about the fact that three officers may lose their sight permanently because of lasers. Want to bring in now dean cain, our good friend, actor and reserve officer. Hey, dean, good morning to you. Sorry we gotta bring you on for this sort of lawlessness, but as a Police Officer, put on your cop hat for a second and react to what were seeing now in portland thats spreading across the u. S. Well, good morning, griff, pete and jed. Thanks for having me on. Lovely to see you guys, i wish it was you should better circumstances. Under better circumstances. These clashes, to me, are division disgusting. This is organized violence against law and order. Pete touched on it earlier, and i think Ken Cucinelli was 100 right. The politicians that are allowing this to happen, they are complicit, they should be held responsible in november. Mayor de blasio, nancy pelosi, ted wheeler. The speaker of the house, theyre inciting these people and pushing violence. And pete said it earlier, theyre allowing out to happen. Exactly, make no mistake about this, this is about politics. And its meant to keep, to hurt President Trump. Kind of like the decision to keep schools closed, all meant to hurt President Trump. If you want haw law and order restored, vote President Trump. Jedediah another topic were addressing today is were remembering regis fill regis fill bin. Philbin. So many people loved him. I didnt know him personally, but he warmed my home every time he was on television. Tell us about your experiences with him. You said it all right there, jed with. I mean, he regis, hes a onenamer like Johnny Carson, you know . He was of the old school class and grace like Johnny Carson. He was amazing. First time i was on the show was 1993 because i worked for abc, i saw him over and over again, i was on the hoe so many times. Of he was show so many times. He was to warm and gracious and funny. Look, the guy holds the guinness book of records for the amount of time on its. I mean on television. I loved hanging out with him, talking to him. I found him to be so warm and lovely. His would have, joy, by heart goes out to her. Kathie lee gifford and i are great friends too, and she said the nicest things about him all the time without fail, and their relationship was brilliant. You know, we lost a true, true superstar in regis. God bless him. Were better off as a country and as a world that he was part of it. Pete you mentioned kathie lee gifford, she posted this on instagram in reaction i smile knowing somewhere in heaven at this very moment hes making someone laugh. It brings me great comfort knowing that he had a personal relationship with his lord. I send, as you did, love to joy, his children and to the innumerable people he touched over his life, theres never been anyone like him and there never will be. Dean, we got to see pictures of you from 1993, i dont know if you can see [laughter] you look the exact same. Bless you for that. Pete its true. But what this strikes me as the kind of guy who, for whatever reason, connected with almost everybody and didnt create enemies and made people smile. What was the secret inagreed cent . You know, i think it was just his character. Because the guy you saw on screen was the same guy you saw off screen. That hysterically great sense of humor, warm. Like, youd want to have regis in your house every day. Youd like to have him at your breakfast table, and thats where he was. When he did millionaire, he was hysterical and great and fantastic. Is that your final answer . I mean, he really its from regis. He was a superstar and, again, old school class and grace. Griff dean, im with pete, lets go back to that video. What assignment were you on that youre wearing a lei looking like Elvis Presley in hawaii . Thats a good gig. Live with regis and kathy lee, we were pointing the first time i was on was in hawaii. Do you want to come out to hawaii and do a show . Yes. [laughter] i shot the show in buffalo, new york, where i played football at one point in time for about 15 minutes. Anytime theyd go somewhere, id be happy to travel because they did it just right. And, you know, that one was that was certainly hawaii. I can see it on my screen now. Look at that young man. Thats awesome. [laughter] jedediah [inaudible] pete go ahead. Jedediah i just finished watching you in a rerun last night, so its like, oh, thats the dean i know. Thanks for being here and lending your perspective on this and police issues. Youre a renaissance man, and we love having you here. Be well. Mornings are always better with friends. Pete there we go. Had the mug. Love it. Were also going to have fox friends own Brian Kilmeade, hes getting up early he says to get dressed which means hell probably be dressed for the segment. Cant wait to get his analysis, he spent time with regis as well.

Pete our next guest delivering a powerful message to Law Enforcement at a back the blue rally in long eye land, new york, where its estimated over a thousand people gathered to honor officers and their families. Lisa joins me now. Thank you so much for being here. First of all, thank you for the commitment and service and sacrifice of your husband and your family. He was killed in the line of duty doing his job for the rest of us. You carry on his legacy today. Talk to us about why you held thrallingly and what youre stand this rally and what youre standing for. The rally was supported and run by Law Enforcement officers, an organization that supports survivors of Police Officers. For me, it was so vitally important to make sure they know how much we appreciate them and really support them. They need our support more than ever. Pete lisa, would paul recognize the position of our country expect indictment thats being made against police today this. I think so. You know, every officer is feeling the wrath of the tragedy that took place, and like in any profession, there are bad people in each of those pete every profession, yes. Every profession, yes, thank you. And so i think that we have good people in our profession. We have good people in Law Enforcement, and they should not be punished for the actions of others, you know . Our officers sacrifice every single day. They leave their families, their new or borns, their dying and elderly parents to be there in communities supporting people that they dont know. Pete in your case, lisa, paul that day left, i believe, a 3 and a 4yearold to go do his job, ultimately your children. Whats the morale of families that see this environment and the officers that leave their house every day . We are heart broken over the fact that we are seeing whats happening across the nation, and we want to be able to do something about it. We want to be able to speak up because we dont want anyone else being in our tragic situations. Pete where do you think this goes . Do you think we have an opportunity to rally the nation in support of Law Enforcement officers . Youre doing your part. Well, you know, i certainly hope so. I think that the silent are majority needs to be heard. I think that its important for our communities, our cities and certainly our nation to understand this is not about political agendas, but its about being human beings and caring for one another and making sure that we treat each other with kindness and respect and compassion always. Pete well said. The thin blue line is a real thing. You know better than most. Yes, it is. Pete god bless your husband, and we appreciate your message this morning, thank you.

New research from the cdc indicating even if symptoms are mild, it could lead to prolonged illness. Dr. Nicole saphier breaks it down next. Businesses are starting to bounce back.

Moving trucks spotted at the u. S. Cons a late overnight if as china demands its closure, the United States emblem removed from the front of the building as staffers quickly pack up. The escalation comes days after the u. S. Shut down chinas consulate in houston. And north korean dictator kim jong un puts a town on lockdown over a possible coronavirus case. The suspected patient is a runaway who fled south korea before illegally crossing into the north last week. The rogue regime claims the person would be its first confirmed case of covid19, but as always, we question the news coming out of there. Jed . Jedediah thanks, griff. Although its believed young people are less likely to be severely impacted by coronavirus, the cdc reports they may still develop chronic illness. Over 20 of young adults reported they werent back to their normal health even 23 weeks after testing positive. Could this impact schools reopening in the fall and outside life in general returning to normal . Here to discuss, author of make america healthy again, dr. Nicole saphier. Doctor, this new information is something ive heard from a lot of people. Sometimes 23 months out they still are have lingering symptoms and had no preexisting conditions. Can you talk about a what might be happening here . Absolutely. Good morning, jedediah. And, you know, this is a very important conversation because often people are just talking about people who diverse us people who you are people who survive. Just now the cdc came out with a survey that they did x they called nearly 300 people who showed up to an outpatient setting who were symptomatic and tested positive for covid19. About a 35 of them reported they were not back to their Baseline Health 23 weeks after that positive test. Jedediah, you can attest more than anyone else how long the prolonged effects of this illness is. Its already been well documented those who are hospitalized with severe illness can take weeks to months to get back to feeling normal, if they ever do. But this survey e is important because this is seemingly healthy younger populations, ages 18 to less than 60. And the 18 to 35yearolds, about 35 president of them did not 35 of them did not return to their baseline. They were chaining of shortness of breath, fatigue and even that loss of smell that so many people are talking about. That really does seem to take a while to come back. Jedediah yeah. And i always took issue with this word mild because people often times refer to mild symptoms as you didnt wind up in the hospital and you are still alive. But often times the symptoms dont feel mild. I had covid and still when i go outside for a long run, but my lungs dont feel like my lungs. Thats very, very scarily e to a lot of people scary to people. How does this affect the conversation about returning back to normal whether it be schools and working in those settings or regular workplaces or anywhere for that matter . Well, the conversation is important, jedediah, because it doesnt mean that people are still transmitting virus, it just means they themselves are not feeling back to normal. So there could be just prolonged recovering, and people who tend to be out with a bad colding strep throat or flu may be out 35 days, but with covid it might be significantly long or, and its very possible. Thats something that businesses and schools are going to really need to take into consideration. Thats why some level of Distance Learning as well as Remote Working needs to be accessible because of these prolonged effects. Jedediah yeah. Thank you, doctor, for being here and for being someone ive been able to reach out to for my own wellness, and so many of the viewers value what you have to say. We always appreciate out. Thanks. Absolutely. Jedediah john lewis is about to take his final trip over the Edmund Pettis bridge in selma as the country says goodbye to the civil rights icon. Dr. Alveda king joins us live next.

Apoquel is for the control of itch associated with allergic dermatitis and the control of Atopic Dermatitis in dogs.

Griff ed today late congressman will make the crossing over the Edmund Pettis bridge, his celebration of life entering its second day after a tribute in his hometown. Alicia akind a that has more on todays services. Good morning. Reporter hi, good morning. Yes, south congressman john lew casket will be brought here to the Edmund Pettis bridge and taken a across by a horsedrawn quezon. They will caisson. They will move in the direction from selma to montgomery. This, of course, is the same route he and hundreds of others attempted the make back in 1965. Of course, they were stopped, they were beaten and they were tear gassed by state troopers as they headed to the State Capitol to demand equal Voting Rights. The violent images that played out on Television Sets across the nation brought outrage and protests erupted in cities all over the country. Later that year the Voting Rights act was signed into law. Lewis would return to acknowledge progress made since that historic moment including the United States first black president. Lewis said she he considered the election of barack obama to be a down payment on the treatment of dr. Martin luther king, but there is still much work to be done. Dr. Kings son spoke at a memorial here in selma last night. While he represented the nation and the world, he was my congressman. And so i derive phenomenal inspiration from his example. Over and over again. Reporter congressman lewis also served 33 years in the u. S. Congress. He will lie in state in montgomery before, on monday, heading to our nations capital. Back to you. Jedediah thanks so much, alicia, for that. Were now going to bring in al seed e a da king whos al vealed e da king alveda king. We so much appreciate you being here today. Can you share your thoughts with us on john lewis e final crossing over that selma bridge . Good morning. As i are watched the proceedings, i believe its a beautiful tribute to congressman john lewis that there are so many stops, just like the stops he made during his lifetime in selma and then 33 years in congress, he was always such a compassionate person, a very faithful person. He wanted to bring people together. He and i had different fill soft call and mitt cam views, however political view, however, i know my cousin martin in his remarks, the same sentiments our whole family had toward congressman lewis. My last conversation with him he asked very much about my mother, can and he said how is your mother, how she doing. And i remember our conversations were more along those lines rather than political and that type of thing. I think its a great tribute also even though there are several stops and observances, theyre not very long, and that is exemplary of who john lewis was. He was pretty much dont put the attention on me, put it on the people. That wases the john lewis that i know, very peaceful and if strong warrior. My daddy spoke about him a lot. He was beaten as well. But hed talk about john and the fortitude that john displayed. And that is what i like to remember about congressman lewis. Pete alveda, the actions he took and others like him took change our nation and fulfilled, got closer to fulfilling the founding principles proclaimed. And did so is peacefully, your uncle, your father, john lewis, what can people agitatinged today who are going violent, what should they be learning from someone like john lewis . What people today in the protests are not getting, even when they take a knee, you dont necessarily notice that theyre praying to god. In the 20th century in that movement, and i marched and went to yale and all of that to yale and all of that for fair housing, but we were taught we cannot do this without god. And john lewis, a peaceful warrior dealing with social justice. We must be peaceful. We must hear each other, we must exemplify what is need to communicate peacefully without erupting into violence, and that is something that we have to bridge that gap between the movement of the 20th century and the 21st century. We must learn to be peaceful warriors. John lewis was certainly that. Giver give alveda, soon we will see john lewis American Flagdraped coffin cross the Edmund Pettis bridge. Talk to me about the significance of that image we will witness. Well, i remember my uncle believed this, he believed in supporting the constitution of the United States. I never had that conversation with congressman lewis. However, it is interesting that the flag of the United States is draped over his coffin. So at the end of the day, we are all american, we all bleed e the same, we are human beings, not a separate race. And i think that the best tribute we can give to congressman lewis is to be peaceful, to negotiate peacefully, to celebrate his life, to settle our differences peacefully. If we want to remember john lewis, we have to do it in a peaceful manner. Jedediah thanks so much, al seed e da, for being here, as always. So much appreciated. Thank you. Jedediah turn thousand to some extreme weather for you because overnight hannah downgraded to a Tropical Storm after battering southern texas. Hannah made landfall as a hurricane slamming the state with 90 mileperhour winds and heavy rain. Pete hurricane douglas inches closer to the hawaiian coastline this morning.

This is hannah moving across parts of northeastern mexico, we still have only rain to fall, maybe another 23 inches, flood warnings in effect everywhere you see green and those red highlights are flash flooding because of all that moisture. I had said last hour, pete, and youre right that i thought hawaii was going to be spared ld, its just so close. I shouldnt have written it off just yet. Likely just to the north of the islands, that would put the islands probably in good position, but officially were still watching potentially for a hurricane maybe around what wu wu work oahu and kauai.

Weve got expected more discussions this afternoon on capitol hill between Administration Officials and Senate Republican on crafting this next round of coronavirus economic relief. Treasury secretary steve mnuchin, white house chief of staff mark meadows met with senate staff questioned to develop the republican met with staff yesterday. The original 600 boost to Unemployment Benefits that Congress Approved in march, thats now beginning to expire. Republicans want a different formula this time, one they say insures a government benefit of no more than 70 of a workers previous pay. Mnuchin said, quote, we are prepared to move quickly. Its an important issue. We want to make sure theres a technical correction so that people dont get paid more money to stay home than to work. The administration is also looking at that same 1200 bonus to families, Many American families. White house chief of staff mark meadows says, quote im confident that if the democrats willing to focus on those who are unemployed and need assistance the most, they will find a way to at least address that need while we continue, perhaps, and negotiate beyond that. Even if the white house and Senate Republicans agree to a plan, that just amounts to the opening republican offer. Congressional democrats say they want to keep the 600 unemployment benefit and want hundreds of billions of dollars in additional state and local aid. Johns Hopkins University says theres been more than 4. 1 million confirmed coronavirus cases in the United States with more than 146,000 deaths. Thats more than,s that is part of more than 16 million confirmed cases worldwide and 640,000 deaths. Back to you. Pete rich, thank you very much. You know, griff, you know in washington theres horse trading that goes on in moments like this especially when theres more or less a consensus that something needs to be done, and you have the looming reality of a president ial election where neither side wants to be looked at as not coming through for people in need at this moment. It seems to be just a matter of how much in either direction and of note, Liability Protection something republicans are talking about for companies as today try to reopen. Griff you know, youve got a good point there, pete, because the consensus isnt necessarily e the same right now because, remember, Nancy Pelosis already passed a 3 trillion package x thats a long ways away from this one that began with about a trillion with mcconnell. And when you talk about what theyre going to get done, ultimately you talked earlier to peter ma royce city, one morici, one of the Top Economists in the country, and heres a little bit of what he had to say about how to come his on this thing, listen. I expect. To see the Unemployment Benefits extended. It would really be nice if they werent interrupted. They dont have to be at 600 a month. We can scale them back so people arent being paid more to be unemployed than they were before. This is not a herculean task, and i think its being demagogued on both sides. Nancy i wants to give everyone more than they earn, and the republican playing to their base, some of them, by saying we dont want freeloaders. The reality is aid is needed, its time to compromise and get it done. Griff the republicans in the senate and the white house not entirely on the same page. Great point, pete.

Nasa preparing for its latest mission to mars with the 2020 perseverance rover set to launch this weekend. Or next week, i should say. What went into planning this mission x what do scientists hope to discover . Here with insight is nasa administrator Jim Bridenstine. Good morning, jim. This is exciting news. The window e to launch opening later this week. Tell us about this mission. Thats right. So we are launching a robot to mars. We have e a very unique mission on this one. Were actually looking for astrobiology, can we find signs of ancient life on mars. So a lot of people are familiar with the curiosity rover, it has made some amazing discoveries. Mars is covered with complex organic compounds, the Building Blocks for life. The question is was there ever life there, might there even be microbial life on mars today x thats really what the mars perseverance rover all about. We are setting the foundation for bringing samples back to earth from mars. This rover wont do it, but its going to catch the samples. Were also going to fly a helicopter on mars for the first time in history, and were going to prove that we can use the mars atmosphere to create oxygen because President Trump has given us an objective to put an American Flag on mars, and to do that were going to go with humans. And all of these thicks are going to be things are going to be kind of proven out in this little rover that we call perseverance. I say little, its the size of an suv. Griff wow, thats incredible. Ive got to get one other story, and that is the pentagons ufo unit could make findings public. I think for those of us who remember the truth is out there, what are we expecting to learn and see . So im a navy pilot myself, and i can tell you the United States navy, we fly close to other countries, competitive countries a lot, and this program is really about identifying capabilities, maybe unknown capabilities of other countries. Thats what its about. But youre absolutely right, we as an agency are interested in learning whether or not life either does or could have existed on other worlds. We know, for example, that mars used to be covered in an ocean for its northern hemisphere. We know that it used to have a thick atmosphere, and we know that it used to have a magnet9 that protected it from the radiation of deep space. So all of these things mars had. In other words, mars was at one time habitable. Did life exist there and we now go find out evidence of ancient life on mars. Griff and lastly, your prediction when these findings come out, do we believe that folks who are conspiracy if theorists and others will be satisfied by what they learn . Oh, i dont think folks will ever be satisfied [laughter] as nasa administrator, i can tell you theres always kinds of conspiracies. And i hear from all types of different people. But the reality is i think this is really a collection opportunity for the United States of america. Griff yep. Jim bridenstine, weve got to leaf it there. Grubbing with the perseverance rover and the Mission Later this week. Thank you. Griff all right. Coming up, the great Brian Kilmeade joins us live at the top to have next hour. He has gotten rest, he can confirm it, and he is ready to roll. Stick around. Were always here to help you focus on your health. Because its always, time for care. Pete welcome to studio f for onethird of the program here on this sunday. There it is right in front of you, sunday, july 26th, the year of our lord, 2020, and im waving at you up here. Welcome in and welcome as well in new york, jedediah bila as well as washington, d. C. , the swamp, our swamp correspondent [laughter] Griff Jenkins, who we always love having. Guys, i got my coffee, it says hot on it. Its because its from mcdonalds. Remember when they got sued because somebody spilled hot coffee and somehow red bull and some unidentified green juice. [laughter] jedediah is this is celery juice, and this shot exemplifies us all. Coffee, red bull, celery juice. Audience at home, make your own judgment. Griff red bull supporting the big wave awards which just with launched, something to check out. So i think red bull wins, guys. Sorry. Pete and mcdonalds supporting my breakfast every saturday and sunday morning. Dave, is that not true . Gary jeds is healthy, well give her that. Chaos in america, violent clashes erupting across the country. [gunfire] griff one person shot and killed at a black lives matter protest in austin, texas. The suspect is now in custody. This Seattle Police declaring a riot after a construction site is torched. 21 police are hurt, 45 people arrested. Pete 21 police hurt. Meanwhile, portland the 59th straight night of unrest, police using tear gas on rioters after they bring down a federal courthouse fence. Rioters also setting an American Flag on fire. A perfect picture of what they truly stand for and what they believe, watching it go up in flames. And police declaring an Unlawful Assembly in richmond if, virginia, after rioters set a dump truck on fire outside police headquarters. Jedediah and in colorado protesters rally outside Aurora Police headquarters hours after a car drives through a crowd. Protesters reportedly shot at the driver, injuring two people. Really incredible photos and images that were seeing pop up around the country. Forfying. You think of the terrifying. You think of the residents that run businesses, have their families there, maybe they themselves wanted to engage in peaceful protests but have seen their cities completely overrun by violence, by the burning of the American Flag, the destruction of businesses, cities quite literally going up in smoke. Now federal authorities there trying to protect those federal buildings and create some order that local Law Enforcement has in some cases been up able to do and that unable to do and that in many cases has been stymied by local politicians who have prevented them from doing the job they so desperately need to do to protect those communities. Pete this is an intentional, ongoing assault on our country. Call them marxists, call them antifa, anarchists, domestic terrorists, whatever you want. If youre attacking federal buildings, Law Enforcement officers, Police Officers, doing so intentionally for some purported political purpose, youre no longer anywhere near a peaceful protest. And thats e what ken coupe knell hi e and the acting dhs secretary said on our program. Not exactly, but heres what he said exactly about these protests. Theyre close to two straight months of violence every sting single day in single day in portland because their own mayor ties the hands of police. The laser attacks, the tire puncturing, these are all violent acts. They use commercial fireworks, mortars, they shoot them sideways instead of up at officers. Theyve hit at least three officers that way. At the same time, they use those lasers to attack their eyes. Thats what our officers are facing. These are not peaceful protesters, these are violent anarchists. Pete its also very political. Were on the eve of an election, less than 100 days now. These protesters hate donald trump, his supporters, what they represent, and this is also a manifestation of that, guys. Griff yeah, and looks like its going to continue. Meanwhile, we continue to also follow another big story this morning, a sad one, and that is the loss of tv legendary tv giant Regis Philbin. We want to bring in Brian Kilmeade, host of fox friends, and he spent a lot of time with regis. Brian, good morning to you. Hey, guys. Hows everybody to doing . Jed, whats going on . Jedediah were doing well. I saw you on the curvy couch with Regis Philbin, a tv legend. That had to be an experience, brian. Yeah. I mean, a bunch of things with regises in particular. So the first time i came and talked i always really liked him. That first 20 minutes of that morning show even before it was nationally syndicated, it was only in the new york region, was awesome. And the more we do this, you know, we have three or four topics, okay . So were talking about riots, number two we might talk about china, number three, unemployment. Okay, fine. We had topics. Thered be no news to lean on necessarily. Hed are to talk about his dinner the night before, maybe a thing he had coming up over the weekend, a pop he had with one of his kids x he had to do it only seeing his cohosts five minutes before the show. I know we get about 90 seconds [laughter] but to see them do it every single day for 20, 30 minutes for people that do what we do, im in awe. And the more i do this, the more im in awe that he was able to do it because he couldnt grab necessarily the big stories of the day, the breaking news. He had to talk about slice of life. Talk about slice of life for 20 minutes and the first time i ever saw him was in college, i went to school right outside new york city, and they said theres one live show taped in new york city. He told our whole class to go in. We wanted to watch the morning show, and he couldnt fit us all in. So i had to come back again on my own, and i was pull out of the audience, and i actually interacted with him live on the show, came back interviewed him for the radio, and i have a few pictures of me when i was in college, and he gave me steady advice throughout the next 20 plus years. And then when he was finally able to write a book and do a tour, had a chance to meet him. He actually joined fox sports for a little bit. Pete brian, america looking right now at those pictures, i think theyre probably looking more at collegeage brian, to be honest. [laughter] but regis as well. I didnt realize he had such a big influence on your life. By the way, i would sign up for 20 minutes nonstop of Brian Kilmeade talking about what he had for dinner last night [laughter] sign me up. I think you could do that very well. You have the same at tickets. But you attributes. You felt like you knew regis, all these years on the morning show, he just seemed to connect like someone you wanted to know more about. Well, one thing i know about fox, for better or worse, this is you. I have news watching at home, this is us. Were not acting. We dont change our voice, our look, to our opinions. And he was the first one and carson as a viewer where you really thought that, okay. The camera goes on, here he is. Thats regis. And one thing he brought up in his book, he said my problem was i got out of the military, and i had no discernible talent, but i knew i wanted television x. Jack parr, who you can seeded steve allen and who was in between Johnny Carson and steve allen, gave regis hope because he was also a conversationalist. He couldnt sing, he couldnt dance, he wasnt a magician like carson x. He said, wow, if that guy can do it, that ares what i want to do. And chet kohl writer with, who was the first one to look at my tape and bring me in to fox was the one that hired regis out on the west coast. And he talked about what he did and how hard he worked. Regis outworked people. He wore you out. He did a finance show at the same time he was doing a fitness show at the same time he was doing a National Television show, at the same time he was doing all types of specials. Youre in your 60s, youre already rich beyond belief, what drives you. And it was just that drive to be better and born in the bronx he always thought he was going to lose everything tomorrow because he grew up in the depression, and he watched his parents lose everything. He used to say youre going to end up in the poorhouse if you dont keep working. That was the track that was in his mind his whole life. Jedediah brian, we have a 2013 flashback of you and rhee chris on the red carpet. Regis. Confident. [laughter] sorry. Now, theres a chance youre going to be shooting in our building, and that means were going to get in the line together, get a big salad, see each other in the hall. How do i act . When that begins, you should call me mr. Regis. Yeah. Will you answer . Only to mr. Rhee chris. Say good bye, mr. Regis. Goodbye, mr. Regis. Thats it. [laughter] classic regis. Right. The other thing he did, he worked out all the time. When i work at the reebok club, we actually did a workout interview to together. I did it shirtless so, pete, you must be jealous. [laughter] pete really . Im only kidding. We actually had it taped, i dont know if it made the library. But that was also sitting there ad libbing looking at cnbc talking about stocks he owns, different philosophies, i thought to myself, man, he cared about that segment on a channel he probably doesnt even watch with a guy he didnt even know. Thats part of bringing it every day. Every appearance mattered, and thats what i i learned just from being around the guy. Griff and what our viewers learned is what you look like in college. We should show e our viewerser that one more time. You have, we should point out, quite some style in your sweaters. Did you put a lot of thought into those sweat ors . [laughter] you know what . Pete, i did notice, he always talks about how griff is jealous of how you dress . Im getting it now. That was mole skin. That was one of these sweaters that actually she woulded like a german shepard during the day. I had to wear two tshirts and another collared shirt just to wear that sweater [laughter] and i was wrong, and im looking at the picture right there, and i was wrong to think i looked good in it. Sadly, because i like regis in my office, that pictures still this today, and the guy i share that picture with is rick thatcher, all american goalie ifer cause. Just could not get enough of being around television and he was my inspiration because i cant sing and dance either. [laughter] griff the one and only Brian Kilmeade, and i will admit, i will confess, i have sweater envy, for sure. Brian, that was great, thank you very much. Pete thank you, brian. Go back to bed. Its your day off. There we go. Griff see . And just like that, he is gone. Turning now to your headlines starting with this fox news alert, hannah downgraded to a Tropical Storm overnight as it batters texas. Off it goes, indeed. Hannah making landfall as a hurricane, slamming the state with 90 mileperhour winds and heavy rain, massive winds in Corpus Christi the. Even more flooding could come today. Meanwhile, hawaii bracing for impact as hurricane douglas inches closer to the coastline this morning. We are watching it. And today the late congressman john lewis will make his final crossing over the Edmund Pettis bridge in selma, alabama. His casket will be carried across the bridge, its where the civil rights icon was brutally beaten on bloody sunday. A motorcade will then carry lewis to alabamas Capitol Building where he will lie in state. We will have more on Services Later this hour as lewis celebration of life enters its second day. And those are your headlines. Pete . Pete thank you very much. The race to the white house now in its final lap with 10 days left 100 days left on the campaign trail. Can voters still be swayed . Were going to ask 2020 Campaign National press secretary hogan gidley about that coming up next. Muck. Pete with under 100 days to go until novembers president ial election, some votes still up for grabs. 13 of americans say their vote can be swayed according to a new wall street journal nbc news poll. So how can the Trump Campaign get them to move their direction in november . Lets ask trump 02020 Campaign National press secretary hogan gidley. Thanks for being on the show. So we take all polls, especially that one and others, with a massive grain of salt. But lets take the premise, basically, that there is a chunk of persuadable voters. Whats your message to that group going to be . Well, first of all, let me start by offering my sincere condolences to congressman lewis and his family, what theyre dealing with right now, the death of the civil rights icon. He was, he was strong, he was a leader in a time of turmoil in this country, and your heart goes out to them and to his family, and my thoughts and prayers are with them. As far as the polls are concerned as we get into things political revolve ising around the upcoming election, lets be clear. Once again we see a poll that vastly oversamples democrats. 33 of gop respondents were sampled in exit polling in 2016. This particular poll, 26 . Thats a 7 difference. So, obviously, things are going to swing vastly to the left in the answers. I can point out the fact though, it e kind of made me chuckle, even with the oversampling of democrats, only about 14 said they were really enthusiastic about joe biden. Who can blame them . All he talks about is some child loving to rub his leg hair and not knowing what year year 9 11 happened, all the missteps and mistake of arizona being called a city. I understand why they want the keep him in the basement and why so many people arent enthusiastic. You compare and contrast that with how much excitement we have on our side, vast numbers of republicans registering to vote and so many of the king, key swing states. Hundreds of thousands of people on the democrat rolls in the states where they actually allow registration by party, its been a vast decrease in the those battleground states and a vast increase for us. People want this president to be in Office Another four years, and you i that in so many areas across you see that in so many areas across the country not to mention the economy is on it way back. But also the uplifting, unifying, patriotic message moving forward, trying to get our city streets back under control, protect the safety and security of Everyday Americans just trying to make ends meet and working out there in jobs created by policies of this prime minister. Elections are about choices by this president. There is no choice, its all President Trump. Pete ohio began, to that hogan, to that or persuadable voter, in this home stretch whats the bumper sticker, one or twoline sell to them to reelect President Trump . Well, a vote for President Trump is a vote for you. A vote for President Trump is a vote for future success for every single american regardless of race, color, creed e and religion. You dont have to guess what would happen if joe biden were president. We saw it for eight years. We saw the economy crumbling, depressed wage, all of the jobs leaving. Compare and contrast that with this president expect successes we saw for all americans, job creation, record high stock market. Thats what this president s going to do. Joe bidens going the take us backwards, President Trump is going to take us into the future. Pete ohio hogan gidley, thank o much. We appreciate. Thanks so much, pete.

Twitter Ceo Jack Dorsey was invited but hasnt responded. To and on thursday, Vice President pence will host a cops for trump event. Pete . Pete thank you, jed. Well, weve been telling you about the guidelines for schools to safely reopen, stressing the importance of in theperson learning. Griff the strategy to get kids back in the classroom setting up a heated tween lawmakers on clash between lawmakers on capitol hill. Joining us now, former professor carol swain. Good morning to you. Now, we hope that something will get unveiled and looks like the most recent covid package has about 105 billion for the schools. What are your thoughts as Congress Tries to get its act together, and will that be enough . Well, first of all, if you look at what world experts are saying like the American Academy of pediatricians, the hospital in toronto, experts in the u. K. , children are not at risking of either contracting or spreading covid19. They need to get back to school. Theres great risk for them staying at home. It disrupts the family structure, it disrupt learning, and it hurts the poorest children most of all news bay dont have most of all because they dont have the resources for them while they work. Jedediah obviously, theres always still risk of contracting it, and some of the kids have developed some inflammatory condition so that, of course, is lingering in the back of some parents minds. But i want do you, youre a former professor, what are your thoughts on how this could potentially be implemented in a pool . Is there social distancing . Would kids be able to wear a mask for hours on end during the day . Some parents have concerns if they send their kids to school, are they really going to get good, inperson learning with so many guidelines the teachers will have to implement in the classroom setting . Again, i go back to what i said earlier, theres plenty of experts out there worldwide saying that children are not more likely to contract the decide or to spread it. And, of course, therell always be children that have preexisting conditions. They would have to take more precautions. But this whole idea that you are have to just totally rearrange a school, requiring maul children to wear a masking, its not supported by the science. Everything were doing with covid19, coronavirus, politics underlies everything x. Whether we like it or not, there are people that dont care about the children, they care about the election, and they see an opportunity to hurt President Trump by keeping everything hut down. And so shut down. And so whatevers taking place in congress not about our nations health, its not about the children first, its about political agendas. Unfortunately, thats the way it is in america today. Pete carol, youve experienced personally and written a week about a book about politics in education. Senator tom cotton introduced a bill thatll withhold funding for schools that taught this 1619 project. Im kind of two minds, what alternatives do parents have, you know, virtually or in person to avoid things like teaching their kids 1619 is the real founding of america in. I know exactly what youre talking about, public schools, private school, even Christian Schools are being ruined. So theres home schooling, there are charter schools, there are private schools that are opening up with inperson learning, and theyre taking various precautions that they see necessary. But there are alternatives and the parents can how many school, they should especially in those lawyers where they are trying to keep children out of school. They have become indoctrination factories. They teach white kids to hate themselves, they teach black kids to hate whites, they teach them to hate america. Thats not going to move us forward. We are destroying our country and intock try nateing our indoctrinating our [inaudible conversations] griff just to be clear, thats an opinion of many parents, but weve got the leave it there for now. Thank you for coming on and a lot of parents thank you. Griff concerned about what their kids are being taught as well as the dangers of covid. Meanwhile, coming up, major flooding expected in texas today as Tropical Storm hannah batters the lone star state. Texas congressman Louie Gohmert joins us live with an update next. There it egos griff back with extreme weather. Overnight hannah downgraded to a Tropical Storm after battering southern texas. The storm slammed the state with 90 mileperhour winds and heavy rain. Pete meanwhile, hawaii bracing for impact, hurricane Warnings Issued this morning as hurricane douglas inches closer. Meteorologist Rick Reichmuth is tracking it all in his own Weather Center and joins us live with the latest. Good morning. Rick good morning, guys. Yeah, first hurricane of the season, of this this season, hitting texas yesterday, making land arefall as a 90 mileanhour storm, really strong. Across parts of northeastern mexico right now, so most of that moisture is going to move in towards mexico, but maybe another 2 to 3 inches of rain falling across texas there, continued flooding. This is hurricane douglas. Its moving really fast, potentially by this evening getting very close towards oahu and maybe kauai as well. Hurricane force winds only extend out 25 miles an hour on that storm so so not a large storm. Hopefully well be spared here. Want to show you across parts of the u. S. Right now, pretty significant rain obviously still because of hannah, till some showers across parts of the central gulf. And then weve been watching a lot of monsoonal moisture across parts of colorado the next couple days and to the north side of that, some really heavy rain. I would like on sunday to show you the preis sippation were folk fob precipitation were watching this week. Here you go, could cause some flooding and the other stories guys, is the heat returning across much of the midtruck and towards the northeast, another heat wave in store, temps above 90 for the next three days. Guys . Pete love it. Jedediah thanks, rick, we appreciate it. Were going to brung in texas congressman Louie Gohmert live with an update as major flooding is expected today in texas. Welcome to the show, as always. Can you give us the heatest on the cleanup effort latest on the cleanup effort with respect to hannah and whats going on right now in. The tough part is that it comes on top of covid, and south texas has been hit pretty hard. You know, a lot of people have come across the border and brought covid in. Thats an area thats really, was already hit hard. But it youll recall whether its harvey or other hurricanes, texas does pretty well in dealing with emergencies. Governor greg abbott has been completely on top of it, as you know. The hurricane was downgraded since it hit land are, but its till brought a lot of rain, and thats been the biggest problem. The winds have been downgraded but the rain keeps coming. Its headed toward northern mexico, but, you know, weve got the Emergency Personnel there ready and helping. Griff congressman, let me ask you, obviously, being here in washington and covering congress, well all be watching to see whether or not Mitch Mcconnell unveils finally the covid19 plan. Looks like the white house and republicans in the senate are getting closer to agreement. What are your thoughts as you see it on the house side . Well, were concerned about the giveaway programs to help the Democratic Party. Weve seen some of those in the prior covid legislation and, of course, both republican senators and Republican House members are are concerned about the efforts of democrats to stifle the economy by leaving open the door to litigation just overwhelming employers and businesses that open. So thats been a top priority. And the question is how much giveaway programs that dont necessarily help the covid victims the House Democrats and schumer are going to demand in order to get the immunity from liability. Pete congressman, ive got to get your take on one more thing. Youve never been accused of not being a fighter. Were in this moment where statues are being torn down, cancel culture everywhere, and i actually had this video sent to me by a couple people. You took to the house floor and introduced a resolution that would ban the Democrat Party. Explain. Well, Everybody Knows or they should if they dont that slavery has been pushed and protected by the Democratic Party. Thats where it come from, thats where the defenses come from, and it wasnt just in the 1800s after the civil war. Theyre the ones that have been protecting it, theyre the ones that pushed jim crow laws, theyre the ones that did not support the 14th and 15th amendment at all, no support from the Democratic Party. And even the 1924 Democratic National convention was called the klan bake because of the i Ku Klux Klans influence. They were an extension of the Democratic Party. So were going to hold the democrats to the same standards that they want to hold everybody else to and get rid of anybody vestiges of slavery, it means getting rid of the Democratic Party. So were just trying to hold them to the same standards they want to hold everybody else to. Griff somehow i suspect that the speaker, nancy pelosi, disagrees with this. Im not sure thats going to see the light of day. [laughter] just finally devastated just so they can get back in power. That is horrendous. The republican are never felt that way and have never felt that way and still do not. Pete representative Louie Gohmert, thanks for joining us. Great to be with you. Pete seven people are shot including two kids at a house party near sacramento. The homeowner said he wasnt there because he wented out the house to a man he wented out the house to a man online. The guy said theyre going to get together to relax before his friend goes to the military. Never expect it here. You look over this theres cornfields and over here this is really a ranch country kind of lifestyle. Pete two people remain in critical condition. No arrests have yet been made. And the man caught on camera putting an nypd officer in a head lock is, you guessed it, out on bail. He is charged with assault for the first for the july 1st attack. He turned himself in a week later. He was freed on just a 15,000 bail. The officer needed stitches for a cut on his head. And former california senator Barbara Boxer says she regrets voting to create the department of Homeland Security. The democrat writing a Washington Post oped criticizing the departments presence in portland saying she never thought it would, quote, be used against our own people. And shes one of the most famous fictional characters of all time. Tiffanys . You mean the Jewelry Store . Thats right. Im crazy about tiffanys. Pete but holly go lightly, did i protowns that correct proannounce that correctly . From breakfast at tiffanys, she was originally called Connie Gustafson is. The name was changed at the last minute. That manuscript up for auction and could sell for 230,000. Griff,ish know those names, i dont [laughter] griff i was reveling, listening to you talk about holly go lightly. Pete is that not right . I dont even know. Griff no, i think it is. Jedediah no, its good. [laughter] he got it right. And Audrey Hepburn is my queen, so ill just lee it at that. [laughter] moving trucks are spotted at the u. S. Consulate in china as a diplomatic showdown grows overnight. Maria bartiromo says china has met their match with President Trump, and she joins us next. Pete coming up in 14 minutes and 17 seconds on sunday morning futures, senator Lindsey Graham and acting dhs is secretary chad wolf with. One topic you can surely expect as well, china and the threat it poses to the United States. Maria always all over that. Gary give this as griff this as moving trucks are spotted overnight as the china demands the u. S. Consulate closure after the u. S. Shut down chinas consulate in houston. Jedediah here to weigh in, maria bartiromo. Maria, welcome to the show, as always. Tell us the latest on this consulate closing and the implication for future u. S. china relations. Hey, guys, good morning to you. Hook, senior officials tell me that consulates in general just by their very nature will always have some kind of intelligence services. Look, this is a Foreign Government in our country. So is take that with a grain of salt just knowing about consulates in general. In this situation in particular, you have foreigners basically misusing the visa process, and you had at least one individual concealing her ties to the chinese military, and thats what youre seeing increasingly in this country, ties to the chinese military, abusing our visa program. Thats why i have in front of me a list of indictments from various universities. Dont forget charles leiber, the head of the biology and Chemistry Division of harvard, he was indicted because he was part of, and others, are part of the thousand Talents Program which is a program that the chinese set up to try to reward talented people, but they have also abused that program by spying. Theres a massive Espionage Campaign going on in this country by the Chinese Communist government. The u. S. Is aware of it, and they are now cracking down on anybody who is abusing our student visa a programs, our work visa programs as well as getting through in terms of espionage through university withs because you have a whole number of people who are getting paid by universities. You saw that at harvard, in arkansas, at the cleveland clinic, and theyre also getting paid by the ccp. The u. S. Is on to it, they are cracking down in a significant way, and thats what you seeing increasingly. The coronavirus basically hope opened the door for the if u. S. To start scrutinizing china oohs and its communist partys behavior x that includes everything from espionage to buying influence, acquiring companies, stealing their technology. You know for three years the Trump Administration tried to get china to stop. It was no deal, they would not even admit the stealing intellectual property. Heres where we are today. Pete yeah. The diplomatic gloves appear to be off. Well see what the next move is. And and youve got chad wolf on your show, theres a protest planned outside his house. Im sure youll can him about that as well.
