They are using the occupy wall street playbook and pretending it is peaceful with one reporter called it should all. Meanwhile they ignore the violence, a situation where it is supposed to be black lives mattering they ignore the young africanamerican was killed in the violence. The chief of police says there are rapes and robberies, the media are saying it is cool, standard media playbook, pretend the truth is not happening. Where do you think the disconnect is . I dont think there is a disconnect. I think this propaganda. The Networks Want to relive the 60s the when there are leftist protests they want to be out there on the firing line waving the flags, protests or rioting with the left so when it goes wrong they are completely unwilling to show it because they know it will make donald trump look good so they show the actual riots, they show the attacks as we saw, the chop zone in dc show attacks on journalists, Andrea Mitchell was stunned when someone came to attack her. Where i the police . Welcome to the real world, this is what is going on but they wont characterize it that way. How dangerous is it for the rest of the country if huge swaths of our nation that are informed by these various sources arent being informed about the violence we are seeing pop up in seattle and so many other areas . You end up with a situation where the press has lost all koreans, how can you trust the media . You have allie veltri standing in the streets from ms nbc saying the protests are peaceful, you can see a building on fire behind him, you can see the violence where police are attacked, you can see as we saw in the dc chop zone where journalists are attacked in the zone, you can see people being shot, the press have to cover things in a more neutral way and they refuse because they are on their election mode where anything that looks like it might help donald trump wont get covered.

Todd the isis leader who took over for our baghdady to 10 million. It completed the destruction of the physical caliphate in iraq and syria. I am pleased to announce weve increased our reward offered to 10 million for information. Former station chief and Fox News Contributor jan hoffman joins us. There are rumors that he is dead. How big a blow is that to isis . Definitely an important strike against isis. He is a longtime member of al qaeda in iraq and targeting their leadership is critically important for our counterterrorism efforts. Counterterrorism relies on human sources. Thats how we determine where these targets are located hence the war word for justice money. With all that is going on in our country, isis has become an afterthought to the average american was from a resources perspective house the war on turbine compromised by the protests we are seeing in the streets and juul covid19 . I dont think so. Our own Intelligence Community and militaries extremely focused on conducting those Counterterrorism Operations which keep our homeland safe. Just yesterday Christopher Ray was talking about the number of terrorist plots the fbi has stopped. Our enemies, our adversaries are not stopping efforts to target us in the homeland and overseas and thats why we need to continue these important operations. Isis, we destroyed their socalled caliphate that they are recruiting followers in cyberspace and melt into an insurgency in those failed states, syria and parts of iraq. Lets switch to a different topic, the president saying hes going to move some us troops from germany to poland, listen to what he said about this earlier. Poland is one of the few countries fulfilling their obligations under nato, asked us if we would send additional troops, they will be paying for the sending of additional troops and we will be probably moving them from germany to poland. Set the stage for us important an ally is poland especially in light of russia . Poland has been a critically and ally of ours going back to the american revolution, obviously since the collapse of the soviet union and the rise of vladimir putin, a key nato ally in Eastern Europe and having our troops overseas in places like poland is important, for operations we conduct in europe and the middle east and africa. Are you worried about moving troops out of germany . As long as we keep a certain number in poland and we have been discussing this with poland for years about augmenting the number of troops, roughly 4500 now, we can make that work.

More than 1000 european lawmakers signed a letter against this proposed annexation calling it violation of international law, the concerns were echoed by the secretarygeneral Antonio Gutierrez who called a watershed moment warning it could be a turning point for the middle east. It would be a major factor to destabilize the region. What is necessary is a 2 state solution. Israel and palestine can live in peace, respect each other. Insiders or others a political debate raging about whether or not to move forward with annexation. Us secretary of state mike pompeo said it would be up to israel to decide that consultations ongoing at the white house indicating the americans are playing a role in the decision, the deal of the century peace plan has been widely rejected by palestinians after donald trump moved the us embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and recognized jerusalem as the capital of israel. There are concerns of violence erupting as a result of this decision, the chief of his relapse military told soldiers to prepare for the possibility of fighting in the west bank and gaza. In gaza, the military wing of hamas said there would be a statement how they would respond to the annexation being proposed by the israelis, this something to look out for from the gaza strip.

The death of yet another africanamerican man is why the country has given us the opportunity to lead and my friends on the other side just said no. Not now to the legislation, they just said no. What does the stalemate mean moving forward . Joining us to react is congressman john joyce, thank you for being here, what does this mean for the prospect of a bipartisan solution to this problem that really has the nations attention at this moment . The actions yesterday in the United States senate were unacceptable. The justice act brought forth by senator tim scott and on the house side by former Law Enforcement official, now congressman addressed the issues, the needed transparency, accountability and additional training that would be provided for Law Enforcement, every member of congress should get behind the justice act. As senator tim scott said this is the time to address this issue. It is not the time to say no. Jillian they needed 7, they got three. Lets look at the nongop senators who voted to advance the justice act, there are a few points of contention that include qualified immunity for police Data Collection and use of force, deescalation training. It seems to me these are major sticking points. Is there any way to get this done in a bipartisan manner . There has to be a way. The American People are looking to congress to find a solution, a bipartisan solution, the justice act brings forth the necessary solution, time to bring that to the floor and vote for it.

It backfired as people started an online fundraiser donating thousands to the starbucks employee. All this happened in california. A woman who survived covid19, cancer and world war ii celebrated her one hundredth birthday hitting the milestone in indiana earlier this month. She was diagnosed with the virus enabling tested negative one week before her birthday, she celebrated with friends at a nursing home, using zoom to talk to her twin sister in california, happy birthday. Todd we love stories like that. They reinforce our life here. 39 after the hour. Coronavirus stimulus checks sent to india, the irs wants them back. Peter morici says there is no legal basis to recover the money and that is okay, he joins us live to explain. Iris fighting to get back thousands of dollars of Coronavirus Relief payments after accidentally sending them to inmates behind bars. Joining us is peter morici, good to see you, thanks for joining us. Next to be with you. How did this happen . The legislation didnt say inmates cant get the money. There are Social Security rules that have been set and they applied for the money and got it, Harvard University applied for the paycheck protection program, some large hotels in the franchise system, these things happen when you do stuff in a hurry. Todd some notable examples of states intercepting these payments, 200 k in kansas combining 900 in idaho and montana, 23, 000 in washington. If we have another stimulus which the president is leaning toward has the government worked out the kinks so this doesnt happen again . A line in the legislation saying people are incarcerated in federal institutions are not eligible. Just a matter of writing a line in the legislation. It hasnt been a smooth rollout by any stretch. Is a going to be more smooth Going Forward . I think so because the irs, segue to the next subject, the business of extending the filing deadlines. One of the problems we have is we can run the tax filing system or make the payments but we cant do both because they the people who deal with tax filings to run these payments. They use the same data systems, the system that sends you a refund check this time is sending you stimulus check. Speaking of tax filing deadlines do you think this should be delayed again, who would benefit from that . The bottom line is people can already delay their tax filings october 15th by simply applying for an extension. The difference is the legislation provided for extension to july 15th without having to pay any interest if you owe money. If they they are providing people with an interest free loan. I dont know that that is necessary. If youre unemployed you have plenty of time to do your taxes and if you are employed what is different about this year than any other year . What you drive this is the timing of more stimulus payments. I do think they are coming, there will be a bill in july. It would be better to get the taxes out of the way now so that bureaucracy is available to make the payments Going Forward. I would imagine the secretary Steve Mnuchin is considering that right now because theres only so many hands at the irs. You mentioned Steve Mnuchin, listen to him, take a listen. Something we may consider. Im pleased to report that i think it was absolutely the right thing to do at the time if you can file your tax returns, go ahead and do it carefully as we approach this july date. Would dealing with tax filing deadline to october 15th really give this economy another boost . Not really. I dont think it makes much difference. One thing to remember, when you file taxes, if you owe money you pay, most people get refunds and by doing the filing they are delaying their refunds. The end of it is the irs is running behind, because they did the stimulus payments, the tax return checks are coming out late, and a lot of people to go around. My feeling is it zeros out or might be negative for the economy because people are delaying, procrastinating, who likes to do taxes . Accountants apparently. The other thing, ive always been a big fan of changing the tax calendar. My feeling is if we had tax filings on october 15th instead of april 15th the tax law would be less complicated because people would be aggravated going into the election. Have you thought about the fact they have tax filing dates six months before and 6 month after election . There is no accident to that. They dont want you remembering how torturous it was. It would be a Great Campaign issue to really simplify. Todd a funny story. Is used to running on the field but one Dallas Cowboys player ended up running scared thanks to some unexpected guests at his florida home.
