I was number briefed because any info they may have had did not rise to that level. This as the white house is expected to brief the gang of eight leaders as early as today. We have kristin fisher. She joins us. After days of President Trump being on the defensive over what he knew and went about these russian bounties, the white house is going on the attack. You have President Trump as you deterred from that tweet calling all of this another hoax. The White House Press secretary is placing the blame on the shoulders of all of these anonymous leakers. These are rogue Intelligence Officers who are endangering our troops lives. We will not be able to get a consensus on this intelligence because of what would lead to the New York Times. Today the National Security advisor. The decision to not to brief President Trump. He said that decision was made by the president s daily brief, a career cia officer and the Security Officer said he agreed with that decision. He also said he believes there is going to be a briefing for the members of the gang of eight either today or tomorrow and this is going to be a briefing from the head of the cia. This has more in line with what democrats have been asking for. A briefing from intelligence personnel. They also want a briefing for all members of congress and they want to hear directly from President Trump on this. Where is President Trump . His number one job is to protect american soldiers, to protect the men and women who fight for us overseas. Instead of saying what he did or didnt know, he should have a plan. The New York Times is reporting that it found the money trail behind these bounties to kill troops in afghanistan. A paper reports officials intercepted data showing large financial transfers from my bank account controlled by Russian MilitaryIntelligence Agency to a taliban length account. The white house maintains that all of this intelligence has not been verified and that there are conflicting opinions within the Intelligence Community about it. Julie . Julie kristin fisher. Thank you very much. More on all of this, former White House Press secretary. Good to see you. What do you make first of all of the president s handling of these allegations so far . A little history and context i think is very helpful here. Dont forget when the soviets occupied afghanistan, the United States paid cash in armed freedom fighters. 15,000 soviets were killed, 35,000 wounded. Im sorry to say, but whenever any nation deploys forces and to combat they are going to be other nations around the world that are going to try to kill you. And we know that. Whether its called a bounty or the russians being twofaced and making trouble for the United States and afghanistan, we know this is coming when we deploy our forces. We have done a pretty good job of protecting our forces. Should the russians do this . No. Does it regularly happen . Yes. Julie lets talk about the United States protecting ourselves from russia as a whole. Im hacking into our systems as we have past seen. The United States has accused russia as you know of providing general support to taliban before. This is not necessarily new. With that information, should we be extra vigilant with surveillance such as tracking bank accounts, given the transfers that were uncovered anyway as most likely part of a Bounty Program . It doesnt surprise me that there are a lot of twofaced nations and the world at russia is one of them, pakistan, iran. They talk about diplomacy and the other, they will try to undermine the United States wherever they can and try to weaken us in afghanistan. They are trying to do it and i rock as well. Thats why its so important that we have Protection Measures and we talked to russia and send them signals that we dont appreciate anything theyre doing and we make life tough for them. We are to doing similar things to the russians after their invasion of ukraine. Everybody is making so much out of this. The democrats are fake posturing about this. What do they want to do . Do they want us to have a military and version, do they want us to take out russian assets . This is a realpolitik and im sorry to be so frank, we all know that the military knows it, our forces know it. When they are deployed, they are in dangerous areas and nations that should do things do things. Julie i want to basically quote the New York Times because again, we have not gotten any information and were going off this article. The president said he was not briefed. We will take him with his word. The information that was provided to the president according to two sources that were used as sources of the New York Times. Basically, a written brief was given to the president back in late february. With that said, does the latest New York Times report undercut the white houses claim that the intel was too uncertain to brief trump . I think what can actually happen in an instance like this is the president ial Daily Briefing contains the words, but we have heard of the president doesnt read it. He takes an oral briefing. If the brief decided there was a slip in the agency, the report was too tenuous, he chose not to brief the president , thats entirely legitimate for the president to say i wasnt briefed. It could have still appeared in written form that he didnt read. And so thats an allowance for how donald trump does his business. Even if the president was told, with that argument, whats to be done . We should smack russia around, tell them privately, do not do this. You look at the other things that donald trump has done around the world and its worth to make the case that hes not tough on russia. We are arming the ukrainians. Should they say to america, how dare you . We are doing it anyway arent we and we should weep because we should stand up to russia. Thats been going on since ancient times. Julie i hear you. Before i have to let you go, i have to mov move on to one other topic. Politico is reporting that the team is divided with how they should be handling the coronavirus cases. Some are pushing him to remove those briefings. Others want to leave their response to local officials and set up focusing on the economy. What way do you believe that he should be headed when it comes to potentially restarting these Daily Briefings, especially considering we are heading into election and there are a lot of critical states out there like texas, florida, and the Southern States that the president will be campaigning in . To the politics play a role . I think there are two major issues the president has to address, one is the economy and the other is the coronavirus which is increasing again. The president can address both. The more we handle corona properly the stronger the economy will be. I would not return to the Daily Briefings where he came in there for 90 minutes with a task force. If i were the president i would communicate both, give speeches, and talk about how important it is to get life resumed in america. We can fight the coronavirus and deal with the spikes. The good news is we have a less hospitalization and less intensive care units being used despite the fact that cases are going up. Americans are going out more and our economy is coming back. He should talk about both. Both are vital to americas future. Julie ari fleischer, great to see you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Julie putting a stop to chop. We have an audio delay as you probably noticed, but Seattle Police are clearing out the zone and making arrests after an order from the mayor took action after a months long standoff. Plus, 1 billion cops from the nypds budgets. Why the mayor of new york city believes this is a great move. Others on the left say its not enough. The future is going to involve a lot more reform. We are going to be working on reform through a variety of mechanisms, including our task force with Racial Inclusion and equity. [narrator] this is steve. He used to have gum problems. Now, he uses therabreath healthy gums oral rinse with clinicallyproven ingredients and his gum problems have vanished. crowd applauding therabreath, its a better mouthwash. At walmart, target and other fine stores. But this, this is the future. The future of communicating of hearing and connecting with life. And this, is eargo. No appointments no waiting no hassles. And they are practically invisible in your ear. Now you see it. Now you dont. If you have hearing loss now is the time to do something about it. Were here and ready to help you with your hearing loss. Anolon pioneered the hard anodized nonstick pan. We spent 35 years perfecting it. We put nonstick inside and out, so its easier to clean. We invented an inductionready, extrathick aluminum base, so it can take the heat. Then we added an edgetoedge stainless steel bottom, so its truly dishwashersafe. Most importantly, we made it for you. Anolon. The ultimate nonstick. Get yours at anolon. Com they want a safe city and a fair city. They appreciate that our police are there to keep us safe and they want to see police and get a fair and more respectful. I think the vast majority of new yorkers do not think there is a contradiction. They believe in the nypd and they want to see them approve, but lord knows they want to know when they called at that officer will be there. Julie major backlash after the Council Approved mayor de blasios proposal to cut 1 billion from the nypds budget. This despite a recent surge in violent crime. The New York Post calling it an attack on a Police Department that has spent decades reducing crime. Critics like congresswoman alexandria ocasiocortez say its still not enough. The new york democrat sang in a statement, Defunding Police means Defunding Police. It does not mean budget tricks, this is not a victory. The fight continues. With me now is the founder of Blue Lives Matter great he is an active nypd d sargent. This is a very sad day for the nypd. I have to ask you, did city leaders caved to liberal demands to defund the police and new york whereafter mark absolutely we voted against it. We havent seen these numbers and new york city and decades and normally crime goes up if you look back at the early 2000s. It was operation impact, to combat the crime and areas. They go after quality of life instances and infractions. Officers are out there, taking guns off the streets. Everything thats going on now is absolutely against logic. What direction are we going in . Julie the president tweeted this this morning, new york city is Cutting Police numbers by 1 billion. The mayor is going to paint a big expensive sign on a fifth avenue of denigrating this luxury avenue. This will further antagonize new yorks finest to love new york. Let me tell you from knowing these new york finest men and women, despite some bag gags and some who have abused their power, doing this, taking away a billion dollars from a 6 billion budget, one youre seeing crime rates that we have not seen in ten years is only going to make crime go up. There are neighborhoods that heavily, policing is necessary. Youre going to see crime continue to spike in spike. Is not going to slow down. 1100 just got asked. Not only is that the safety of others brothers and sisters and blue, but people need us. As you said, here they are painting these big letters same black lives matter, but if black lives matter you go to brooklyn, an 11yearold child was struck by a bullet. The majority of these shootings, over a hundred and the last month have been with people of color. Not one of these people who are protesting against the police, by the way, not one single bullet by Police Officer was fired during this whole thing. Not one person is with defunding the politicians were not helping with the spirit that is so sad. These are the communities that are suffering the most. They should not do that. Julie the bottom line is that this mayor has been accused by the nypd for years for not backing them up. This is another slap in the face for the nypd that had been doing their jobs properly. I want to go to another city, seattle. Police they are tearing down tents, they have been staked for weeks pushing police out of their own precinct, they call it capitol hill protest zone after the mayor ordered a cleared. Its called chop. The mayors order comes after the area had seen a spike in violent crimes. It led to the death of a 16 year old boy. Seattles police chief saying peaceful order is being restored. Lets watch. I support peaceful demonstrations, but enough is enough. Our job is to protect and serve the community. Our job is to support people demonstrating. What has happened here on these streets over the last two weeks, few weeks that is his lawless, brutal, and bottom line, its simply unacceptable. Julie is this a good move or too little, too late for sure mark its a weak leadership and she said it too late four weeks of allowing this to go on with chaos. People dont deserve that in the neighborhood. The worst move she ever did was tell the Police Department to leave their police precinct, to abandon it. It looks like something out of gotham. She is the one that called for that. Every time they have to go in there, we have seen it several times. They couldnt even get that individual in need because of mayor is like her which empower these individuals who are domestic terrorists. That should have never been. Rudy giuliani wouldve won and then said, absolutely not. Four weeks later is way too lo long. Julie thank you so much. Great talking to you. Thank you. Julie the stock market, have you watched over coming weeks of uncertainty . One of its best quarters in history, but somewhat worn democratic wins could threaten the economy and its recovery. Joe biden tells donors he would reverse the bulk of President Trumps tax cuts. How would that sit with you at home . Fox business is Lauren Simonetti is here. The trump team weighing more questions with bidens Mental Fitness after he told reporters he is constantly tested for a cognitive decline. Our power panel is next. Because heart and Kidney Disease shouldnt prevent you from pushing your limits. Because every baby deserves the very best start in life. Because a changing environment should mean caring for the land that takes care of us all. At bayer, everything we do, from advances in health to innovations in agriculture, is to help every life we touch. At bayer, this is why we science. Julie the trump team and joe biden trading bars over fitness, but biden raising questions as he tried to turn the table during his First Press Conference in three months yesterday. Have you been tested for some degree of cognitive decline . Im constantly tested. All i got to do is watch me and i can hardly wait to compare my cognitive capability to the cognitive capability of the man im running against. Julie President Trump campaign manager, pouncing on that comment tweeting, biden just said hes tested and is constantly tested. Why is he getting constantly tested . Lets bring in our power panel. Richard fowler, senior fellow at the new york Leaders Council and fox news contributor. Thank you gentlemen. Richard, i will start with you. First of all, i thought it was interesting. I dont know if you watched biden hold this news conference, but one thing he did mention is hes never been tested for coronavirus. He said hes never been tested because hes never shown any symptoms and because he wants to save it for someone else. Hes had multiple test on his cognizance. What does that tell you . I think its important that every leader, democrat or republican get tested. I think its more so important, every american should get a Mental Health check i up. Ultimately i think by the Trump Campaign this is nothing more than a smoke screen to take away from the fact that whats missing in this countrys leadership. There is leadership missing on social distancing. There is leadership missing on face masks. If you listen to dr. Fauci, we dont have coronavirus under control. That has everything to do with a lack of plan with the white house. Julie joe biden is 77 years old, President Trump is now 74. Already the oldest person to assume the presidency. Age is going to come up and to be a topic. How productive is it to have 270yearolds jab at each other on who is more senile . Your point is well taken. He needs to answer the questions about what are these tests he is taking, how often. Look, at the end of the day the issue is that most affect voters or who can create the most jobs. How can we solve this global pandemic, and how can we reopen the economy. I think both sides need to be careful not to set expectations towards the other too low. If you say your opponent is senile, and they get on a stage and dont fall over themselves, people will think, that wasnt initially the picture i had in my head. The reality is quite different and it could backfire. I think both sides need to be cautious and focus on what voters are actually caring abo about. Julie remember in the 2016 election the president took jabs at Hillary Clinton and her health because she was seen on video getting into a car and one of her aides helping her, she had the flu, symptoms. That seemed to help him at the time because he was basically accusing her of not being able to have the stamina to become president and considering the president of the United States never sleeps clearly. What kind of message does this add to the American People . Especially those who are undecided and you think these attacks are going to work . I think we will have to wait and see. I think matt is correct. If you set the bar that joe biden may not be mentally well and he happens to trounce trump in a debate, its too low. When you think about donald trump from 2016, this is a person who was on tested. We had not seen his leadership style or ability. In this upcoming election we have had three years of him. We have seen him under pressure with how he operated. But we will find is that he did enforce a national policy. He didnt tell people to socially distance. He hasnt worn a face mask even though governors are telling their citizens to do the same. You are seeing someone who doesnt have the ability to lead and that is what voters will judge him on. Julie okay. Im going to give you the opportunity to respond. I think at the end of the day voters will be focused on what matters. This is in a rehash of 2016. President trump needs to make this into a choice. All the attention on him, that could be a problem. Where he succeeded in 2016 was making it between a choice with him and Hillary Clinton. He needs to do the same this time around. Julie matt gorman, richard fowler, appreciate it.

If you look at the curbs of the new cases, we really got to do something about that. Quickly. The short answer to the question, clearly we are not in total control right now. Julie urgent warning from dr. Anthony fauci as coronavirus cases surge. 31 states have seen at least a 20 increase in cases just in the past week. More than a dozen states have also paused their reopening efforts and more state and local leaders are asking people to wear masks in public. Casey stegall is following the spirit a state that reached a new high with 7,000 new cases just yesterday. Casey . That is one of two record set and 24 hours time here in the Lone Star State. Not only did we log the highest number of new daily cases, but we also clocked the highest number of hospitalizations statewide since this pandemic began. More than 6500 texans are now any hospital fighting covid and for context and thats a 323 jump since memorial day. Infections are spreading so quickly and san antonio that that citys mayor not requiring all businesses to prescreen their employees and customers, and that includes taking their temperatures before entering businesses, and also requiring a mask. Today gavin newsom is expected to announce new and more aggressive restrictions ahead of the holiday weekend. More than 6,000 new cases were reported in that state yesterday alone it also a new record. While Los Angeles County remains that states epicenter, data shows over the last month or so cases have jumped 74 in the San Francisco bay area. Unfortunately over the last two or three weeks things have gotten out of hand. We have let our guard down. If we continue to see some of these surges we are seeing, there is no good reason to think we wont be packed with covid patience within 23 weeks. Some states are seeing pushback over new restrictions. Protesters have gathered outside the Texas State Capitol over the governors decision to close bars and scaledback restaurant capacity. Two lawsuits have been filed with nightclub owners claiming that executive order violates their constitutional rights. Some gyms are bowing to keep their doors open in defiance of the governors race in order to close those establishments as well. Julie . Julie casey stegall. Thank you so much. The stars and stripes military newspaper is looking to congress for help after the Trump Administration proposed cutting its funding next year. The publication is subsidized, but editorial and dependent dates back to the civil war and parts of the world where there is no internet. Eric shawn is live in new york city. You know its been a dependable mainstay for our troops, but now the military newspaper could be lowered forever. As you said generations of our fighting forces have relied on stars and stripes as the main source of military news and information. It does date back to the civil war. Copies have been delivered in the middle of war zones and often stars and stripes provides the only taste of home for our troops who are bravely fighting overseas. Half of stars and stripes budget, 50 million a year comes from the pentagon and that is set to be caught right now, threatening the newspapers future. John olson as a former photographer, awardwinning war photographer, he stabbed iconic photos during the vietnam war that appeared in time in life magazine, he remembers stars stripes. He says, right in the middle of a battle by chopper. The door gunner kicked out the supplies we needed and in this order he kicked out ammunition, water, c rations, and a bundle of stars stripes. The first thing to go with the stars stripes. You know, some people say that stars and stripes operates the most dangerous people in the world. The paper is independent of the military and that makes some critics think, that could be why the Administration May want to muzzle it. John boozman who grew up reading his air force fathers copies, he is fighting to save it. The senator happens to be a member of the appropriation and Veterans Affairs committee and he wants the funding to continue to keep their presses rolling. These are reporters that report the facts. Sometimes the facts are uncomfortable and so, its another way of accountability. We all need accountability and this is another way to help us keep the services accountable. Defense secretary mark esper has said the cuts are part of the modernization and that stars and stripes is not a high priority for the pentagon. You know, the reporter is like the senator, the lobbying congress to save stars and stripes and they hope to read that headline on the front page of the newspaper very soon. Julie . Julie eric shawn. Great to see you. As he has a record of ronda, some are warning a democratic sweep in november could threaten the recovery. More on that ahead. Ur car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. I wish i could shake your hand. Granted. Only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Julie the dell relatively flat today after stocks closed out their Second Quarter, strongest quarter yesterday since 1998. The optimism of the economic recovery. Then the wall street journal article which warns this spirit a sweep of the white house and congress looms as a potential risk in the month of head. Analysts say a democratic controlled government could and would likely roll back the cuts they enacted and 2017 constraining corporate profit margins. Thats exactly what joe biden candidate told donors on a call on monday, promising to get rid of it. Sparking this tweet from the president. Record growth in Second Quarter under corrupt joe biden and his massive tax increases markets, and 401 k s will plunge. Expect a record 2021. Lets bring in lawrence and lau. I cant imagine it would help after our economy has been beaten down so badly. Would it hurt to recovery . It could be because not only are we talking about tax increases, but all of those favorable regulatory changes that President Trump has made, those will be rolled back. Think more red tape. Were talking about two different types of tax increases. Also the Corporate Tax increase. 21 right now thanks to President Trump. Joe biden has already said hes putting it back to 28 . Think about it, how are we getting through this pandemic . We are on facebook, zoom. What if the bill goes up . Pharmaceuticals, developing vaccines and treatments for covid19s. What if their taxes go up and a sample with Energy Companies who are getting crushed right now. Demand to travel is dead flat. Julie i want to ask you a review comic reaction. Can you hear me got you. Great. Julie President Trump he wants direct payments to americans to be larger. With that said, are we and the clear . Could we see more choppiness . The president is trying to get more money into the economy to help nurture it. That would certainly be a positive for the second half of the year. When you think of the amazing gains, we wrapped up the best quarter in decades. Its hard to imagine how well wall street is doing. Having investors back and stimulus checks that Many Americans are receiving, if thats what the administration plans to do, i think investors and traders would see that as a positive sign. Julie what can we expect from the jobs report tomorrow . This is a tricky one. We got the numbers tomorrow. We are expecting 3 million jobs to have added and the Unemployment Rate to have come down, 12. 3 . Thats historically high, but the numbers are all over the place. Nobody knows anything right now. Its all guessing. When you look at whats going on in the country, we have seen so many States Reopen and then have to close some of their businesses, some of their economy. Roll back the reopening because of infections. The data only covers half of the month, so its not going to capture some of the businesses that had to close down again. Im considering this report noise. I think you will get the true data in the month of july. The economy, if youre looking at the job market, it has shown signs that workers are coming back on board and companies are, i dont want to say hiring workers, some companies are, amazon, hiring workers. The other company struggling, there are still waiting out. Julie for those, those americans that refused to wear masks when they go out, maybe this is something they should consider. If you want to get your job back, you benefit reload. These phase one, phase three will involve social distancing and masks. As you know reopening states like texas and georgia, they have had to dial back because they reopen too quickly. They werent following the rules. The jobs are only going to go up if you protect yourself. If you protect yourself youre actually protecting others. Its a broken record. It does involve our job market. The chief economist of Goldman Sachs said if you have a National Face mask mandate that will decrease the number of infections and substitute for lockdowns. With that you help the overall economy. If you can federally mandate wearing a mask, that would definitely be good for the job market and to the economy, getting people back to work. Julie Lauren Simonetti, always great to see you. Thank you so much. Democrats and joe biden, they are on the fence as protesters turned their anger from monuments to those of u. S. President s. Has the movement against controversial monuments gone too far . The power panel joins me next.

Com julie the Boston Art Commission unanimously voted to remove a controversial statute of Abraham Lincoln that shows freed slaves kneeling at his feet. A similar statue in washington, d. C. , facing calls for removal. This comes as democrats including joe biden are in an increasingly tough spot as the shift is from confederate generals to past president s like lincoln, George Washington, ulysses s. Grant. Watch as a presumptive Emma Craddock president ial nominee sought the idea of comparing whether or not George Washington owned slaves or Thomas Jefferson owned slaves and someone who was in rebellion, committing treason, trying to take down a union to keep slavery, i think there is a distinction. I think with regards to those statues that are in monuments like the jefferson memorial. I think theres an obligation that the government protect those monuments. Julie the department of Homeland Security is expected to dispatch specially trained officers to protect these National Monuments in major u. S. Cities over the july 4th holiday. Back with me is the power panel. Richard, at what point is this erasing history . Obviously confederate generals wanted slavery. Lincoln abolished slavery, and that is something in the history books that i myself as a homeschool teacher can tell you that my 7yearold and my 10yearold sitting inside the house feet away know the difference between the union army and the confederate army. Why would we erase the history and the greatness that president lincoln brought to this country by abolishing slavery . Im glad you brought up the education portion because thats most important part. I think we can commemorate the civil war in textbooks and museum for children to understand what hate and bigotry actually is. Lets be clear, i think theres nuance, Abraham Lincoln in this particular statue. Theres nothing wrong with the statute dedicated to Abraham Lincoln and his work emancipating the slaves but theres a problem with the statue that has a newly freed africanamerican man kneeling to him. Lincoln himself when he went to richmond in april 1865 said dont kneel to me, thats not right. You must kneel to god only and thank him for the liberty you will enjoy. Lincoln didnt agree with the idea of the statue and thats the important part for viewers to understand. Julie that is very important. Where do you draw the line when it comes to taking down the statues or is it a no win situation from some democrats like biden . I think the key is, youre right, we need to tear down statues of confederate generals and leaders. They are traitors. But the process needs to be with any of these things, the proper channels. Its not mobs in the middle of the night. Its the governor, the mayor and the like. Mobs in the middle of the night, they tear down the statue like they did of ulysses s. Grant who is a hero of that time without any regard to what they did or didnt do or any sense of history. You have leaders like bill de blasio her just incompetent wanting to tear down statues of Thomas Jefferson in the City Council Chamber in new york or teddy roosevelt. So youre right, the way to do it is through proper channels, not mob rule in the middle of the night. Julie meantime President Trump said, richard, that he will veto a more than 700 billion defense bill if it includes an amendment that would rename confederate named military bases. Your thoughts. This is once again the problem with the leadership of the president. Take one of the bases, formed bragg in north carolina, named after braxton bragg. A civil were federal. Why would rename a military base that would present the best of america after someone who was a traitor to america and wanted american troops to die during the civil war . It sent that a call to where r is a country. Julie ten seconds, matt, final word. We shouldnt hold up troop pay for these bases. Its crazy. I had no idea these were named after these people. We need to rethink it. Julie all right. Got to go. Thank you, gentlemen. Matt gorman, richard fowler. Thank you for watching at home. I am julie in for harris, and here is dana. Dana Police Departments taking hits across the country as protesters continue calls to defund them. Hello, everyone. I am dana perino and this is the Daily Briefing. New york city slashing the nypd budget by a billion dollars. Protesters camping outside city hall saying even thats not enough. It comes as dozens of cities across the country are considering cutting funds and some are even looking to dump Police Department altogether. We have team fox coverage. Alicia acuna you on whats happening across the
