In what is a unique experiment. Including chicago to help combat baseball has the advantage of crime. Thepresident says hes ready to being naturally socially go full blast if it comes to it. Chicago is a disaster. Distanced. Yes. Yes. Theres 60 feet separating the the mayor says dont come in. At some point we can void that bases or 90 feet separating the if we have to. We may have to. Bases, 60 between the pitcher because its out of control. And home plate. If you watchedbaseball, theres people are dieing in chicago and other cities. We can solve the problem. Occasion. You have the trio of the catcher they have to ask us. We can solve the problem. And the batter and the umpire in chicagos mayor saying shes close areas to each other. Open to a partnership with the its not a perfect social distancing sport. Only golf really fits that feds but wont allow a situation category right now. Like portland. Trace i dont think youll see the umpire leaning over the mike tobin is standing by after catcher tonight. Another night of deadliness jason, good to see you. There. First we start with dan thank you. Up next, a new look at how springer. Portland mayor ted wheeler americans are scared to share was at the protest for several hours. Their political views. Probably didnt go as he planned. Karl rove reacts to that. He was shouted down with obscenities when he tried to speak. If were not able to get the federal administration to back off and leave our city, it will happen all across the United States jeopardizing or united experience the joy of a bigger world states constitution. In a highlyconnected lexus vehicle at the golden opportunity sales event. Lease the 2020 es 350 for 359 a month wheeler got a front row seat at the violence. In fact, he got hit with tear for 36 months. Gas as protesters were trying to experience amazing at your lexus dealer. Destroy a fence put up around the federal courthouse yesterday. Arsonists set fires and threw things at federal officers. They responded with many rounds of tear gas. After getting hit with tear gas, wheelers Security Team got him out of there to safety. This happened after the Portland City Council banned the City Police Department from coordinating with federal Law Enforcement. Also yesterday, a city commissioner joy ann hardesty accused the feds for setting fire outside the courthouse. She provided no ed. The chaos unfolded that the president announced operation surge after a spike of murders in cities like chicago. That is not connected to the federal enforcement in portland, which is about protecting federal buildings and employees. What is going on in portland is very important, its very different than any other city. We have thousands of anarchists every night between the hours of midnight and 5 00 a. M. Doing violent acts against the courthouse. During the mayhem, Portland Police stayed away. In the morning they declare add riot. Mayor wheeler was long gone by then. Trace . Dan springer live in seattle. Team fox coverage continues now. Mike tobin is live for us in chicago with more. Mike . Look at this situation, trace. Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot is caught between the things shes said in her feud with President Trump and the problem she needs to solve. First problem she needs to solve ordeal with is this tremendous amount of violence in the city of chicago. There was a mass shooting tuesday evening. A 3yearold girl got shot in the head on the same day. By chicago summertime standards, the gun violence is extraordinarily high. 51 more murders than last year. Lig lig lightfoot said she will sue if she needed to. No troops in chicago. But the police superintendent, a u. S. Attorney for the Northern District of illinois have told the mayor the manpower that shows up, some of it will be retasking of people already here but dedicated to things like gangs, drugs and violence. Even the acting secretary of Homeland Security said the scenes in portland wont be in chicago because the federal officers wont be doing the same thing. The dhs mission in portland is to protect federal property and Law Enforcement officers. In chicago, the mission is to protect the public from Violent Crime on the streets. Now, the surge and resources will amount to roughly 200 staffers supplementing the federal Law Enforcement already in chicago. A similar situation for albuquerque, philadelphia and new york all as a part of operation legend. The mission is investigating gangs, guns and drugs. Mayor lightfoot has said donald trump is only doing this to divert attention from his handling of covid19. Trace . Mike tobin live for us in chicago. Back to you with any breaking news. Lets bring in our panel. Dan bongino and jessica tarlov. Dan, to you first. In seattle, the mayors go out and support the protesters and the protesters turn on the various mayors. What do you make of these images youre seeing, dan . Trace, you probably lost control of your city if youre ted wheeler if you walk out amongst the protesters you think youre safe among. Youre not. Youre shouted down and accosted by the protesters. That should be a general rule, bill im bill hemmer. New jobs out today. Right . Its not hard to fathom that. D. C. Trying to get the economy in portland, the misinformation in line. Is china about to return diplomatic fire . Jordan chang is here to take is stunning both on the right and the left. That on. Some say theyre hidden troopers and more about joe bidens or whatever. Campaign and the president theyre not troopers. Theyre federal agents. Addresses the lockdown in they have markings. America. Thats absurd. More of dr. Marc siegels secondly, i arrested people with the secret service unmarked all exclusive interview. Im bill hemmer. See you at the top of the hour. The time. We dont have a uniform. We wear suits or go out and trace most americans are afraid to share their political arrest in jeans. It was never an issue before. Views according to a new poll its only an issue now from the cato institute. Because its a talking point what does this mean a little more than 100 days before voters because donald trump is president. Its really sad. Head to the polls . Well never solve the problem if lets bring in karl rove, fox we dont speak the truth news contributor. Good to see you. Jessica, i read dan in your oped in the wall street journal, youre talking about joe bidens lazy new ideas henningers oped. And you write the following. He said outside wartime with questioning here, joe bidens strategy to become president bombardments turning blocks to appears to be a, make sure people dont confuse him with rubble, its hard to see what is donald trump and b, worry only happening to these cities. About appealing to voters object the isolation was bad enough but the endless protests with the democratic partys left instinctive of violence and frank. It might work, might not. Atmosphere of dread have broken the spirit of many cities. That strategy encourages mr. Biden to be mentally lazy what do you think, jessica of while providing team trump with whats going on around the openings that they can exploit. Country . You get the feeling that the i think its deeply disturbing. I live in new york city. Trump campaign is exploiting them yet, karl . Were having a tremendous not why it. Problem right here with violence. I was taken by bidens we did have the rioting and the looting during the protests. The majority did remain appearance on joy reed. He was the inaugural guest on peaceful. I dont disagree with the her program. She asked him a question. Premise of what dan is writing she said what do you think of about in his oped. President trump and coronavirus . He just took him apart from top if these things happened in the past, go back to the l. A. Riots to bottom. Where you saw circumstances like a lot of adjectives and nouns. This. I want to push back a little bit on what dan was saying about nothing specific. A lot of attacks. This being a progressive talking she said if you get elected and point and the amount of its still raging, what would misinformation that is coming you do differently as president . Out about whats going on here. Theres people on the ground i was taken by the lazy response that biden had. Communicating it directly. Here were his big ideas. We can see the video with our he said we need to do something about the defense. Own eyes. We need to use the defense we can see the tear gas, the product action. President trump used that march mayor of portland being shouted down by citizens. 27 to force g. M. To produce more thats how democracy works. We pay their salaries and we get ventilators. We need more tests. To tell them what we think about their management of the city. Over 51 million today. I thought what that protester 796,000 tests yesterday. Were doing some testing. Was saying to mayor wheeler made he said we ought to wear masks. Sense. Hes asking, where do we go from well, april 3, thats when the here . Cdc and the white house how do we get justice and reform Coronavirus Task force said and how do we get our city back . Recommended we all wear masks. We need to provide help for i saw the tweet from the businesses. Well, in the cares act on march president calling tom ridge a 27, they put nearly ultimately rhino after coming out saying what is going on is deeply 660 billion of mostly forgivable loans to small unsettling. Is he going to say dick cheney businesses. We need to make certain no one pays in a hospital if they cant afford it for covid. Is rhino . The problem here is the the president on april 3 said families that are losing these Young Children in kansas city were going to use money from and chicago and new york, the cares act to do that. Theyre in favor of what finally he said we need to have President Trump is doing because they know how bad this situation somebody in command of the is. We have the chicago mayor coming vaccines to make sure that they out, changing her tune now, dan. Get produced and distributed. Yesterday she said she would not on may 15, two months ago, the allow the president s troops to come in and terrorize their president named the commander of residents. This is right after 15 people were shot at the funeral. The army and materials center, now shes coming around saying, gener well, maybe if we can general perna of the commander partnership on this. Theres wiggle room there, dan. Of doing that. There better be, trace. Heres a guy that wants to be a 3yearold shot in the face in president. A softball question. What would you do differently . Chicago. All six of the things he says i went on hannity last night. Are exactly what this current before i went on to get an president is doing. Update on the 3yearold, this trace just so you know, is not a hyperbolic talking karl, i checked your dates. Point, i showed my screen on the youre correct on those. Phone last night. They checked out. 3yearold shot in chicago. I want to move on to the biden you know what problem was, obama video. I want to play part of it and trace . Which one. That is chicago. These are real people. Get your response on this. So i strongly suggested this guy has generated a everybody reevaluate their sense out there that people are position and put politics in the waking up to that he ran by lock box and reconsider these are human lives. Deliberately dividing people from the moment he came down if this 3yearold girl was that escalator. Going to live a regular life, we you know what its like and have 77 years without her right how lonely it can be to make now. The president is doing the right tough decisions where not every thing and under authority. Decision will be perfect but you have to make them. To take responsibility for it. I was there. Trace he apparently went to on that note, i want to play d. C. At some point and did this this kayleigh mcenanysound bite. Video. You point out that hes still she was asked if this is a not sat down with a journalist, distraction and ill get you final thoughts on this, jessica. Hes still not taking questions after these economic planks are the president has been very being laid out. Clear for years that violent what are your thoughts on that . Crime is a priority. We saw it going up at the end of well, you know, we expected obama to be in there. The Obama Administration as the i love being lectured and attorney general said yesterday. Finally started to come down dividing the country from a guy, under President Trumps a former president with all due administration and now with this defund the police movement, were seeing it creep back up. Respect to president obama who this is about protecting the called his opponents unamerican in congress. American citizenry. Is that a valid question, remember the famous moment in february 2009 when the republicans try to give him some whether this is distraction from ideas about a stimulus bill and coronavirus . He said i won. I think its a valid you won but that doesnt mean criticism for sure when you that you shouldnt listen to the think that we have 142,000 people that have lost their loyal opposition. So were going to see more of this and its going to be an lives so far and the president saying to wear a mask in the attempt to make us feel good about the obama years and last couple weeks even though the cdc and his team said its the number 1 way to stop the suggested somehow or open joe spread of the virus. Biden will bring it back. Apropos of the joy reed about the crime spike, its interview, what will he do . Important for democrats and we have an idea. Republicans to Pay Attention to its coming from a speech that he gave about the economy a this. But his show of force by putting speech he gave about the green people on the streets that dont new deal and 110 pages that he have a place there and some were already in that jurisdiction, we and Bernie Sanders cobbled dont need people in camouflage on the streets and average together on what the biden american citizens to be tear administration would do. Those two speeches and that gassed. Its wholly inappropriate and 110page paper, theyre all unamerican like it was on Lafayette Park when he came out pointed hard left. There for his photo op. That seems to be a fundamental problem. Hes not a traditional democrat in this election. Hes coming out on the far left thanks, jessica and dan. And that will be a problem in great debate. Were out of time. Up next, reaction from the trump the suburbs. Trace i have to go. But there cato poll saying 77 campaign to the violence in American Cities and much more of republicans, 59 of republicans, 52 of democrats next. Afraid to share their political opinions. I have 10 seconds for you, karl. By refinancing at newday you can save 3000 a year every year. Can you give it to me . Yeah, a real problem for with their va streamline refi, there is no income verification, no appraisal, no out of pocket costs pollsters. If people are reluctant, well and no va paperwork for you. Have polls that are distorted. You can start the process right over the phone. The campaigns use public surveys refi now and cut 3000 a year off your mortgage payments.

Operation legend is one that in the changing lot. Will help restore peace to the trace thanks for joining us. Im trace gallagher. Streets of chicago where weve seen an over 50 increase in heres bill hemmer. Murders. That seems like a statistic but bill thank you, trace. Good afternoon, everyone. Those are family members, brothers and sisters and aunts im bill hemmer. And uncles in chicago that dont another snapshot of the u. S. Get to go home at night because economy. For the First Time Since march, they were murdered in cold blood in their city streets. More americans filed for we want to make sure that the federal resources are available unemployment than the previous to go after gangs and drugs and week. Violence in this country. Jobless claims ticked up as some so that shouldnt be a partisan states hit the brakes on issue. There shouldnt be politics opening. We wont know what that mean for involved here. So its good to see mayors want national unemployment. To come to the table on this. Right now were above 11 for trace i want to move on to june and waiting to see how Senate Republicans propose to coronavirus here. Publicly, the public is putting help americans get through all on this face where hes saying of this. We expect Mitch Mcconnell to we have to stay upbeat, handle roll out a new bill but its not happened. It together. Our team on the hill has said theres reports now that you have dr. Deborah birx telling that republicans are fighting withhe the 11 cities that they need to be aggressive. The criticism is why are you telling the cities . Why not tell everybody about this . In fact, harvard epidemiologists say this is a pandemic. You cannot hide it. The best way to deal with a crisis or Natural Disaster is to be straight with people to earn their trust and to give the information that they need to make decisions for themselves and their communities. The accusation is that, you know, brave face in public but in private, very disturbed about the way the coronavirus is going. Well, President Trump is actually hitting the perfect tone here. He is standing up every day in front of the American People to give an update whats going on with the coronavirus. Making sure trace but why are his people telling Different Things to the leaders of these various cities that are being hit hard . The president says one thing publicly, his people say Different Things to the mayors and the governors of these states and cities being hit hard. President trump and his officials, those in the administration, are saying the same thing. Theyre talking about the reality of whats going on with the coronavirus in cities that have asked for additional resources, the federal government has stepped up and delivered. Where we see a surge in cases, President Trump is making sure theres a surge in resources. A good and strong response by this country. You can be both optimistic and prepared at the same time about the ability of this country to handle it. Thats what President Trump is doing. Like to remember here, joe biden when faced with a pandemic, the swine flu, had them stop testing at the state level and stop reporting new cases. We dont have to guess what a Pandemic Response looks like. Trace yeah. And there goes erin. We hope to get her back. Right now we dont have her. Meantime, new detail whats chinese officials were up to in a massive spy center in houston. Usaa is made for whats next were helping members catch up by spreading any missed usaa insurance payments over the next twelve months so they can keep more cash in your pockets for when it matters most find out more at usaa. Com trace the gop struggling to craft the new Coronavirus Relief bill. While the president pushed for a payroll tax cut, thats off the table. Theres other sticking points. Chad pergram live on capitol hill. Chad . Trace, there was the expectation that the Senate Majority leader, Mitch Mcconnell, was going to release a frame work of the bill today. That didnt happen. Basically weve been getting radio silence ever since. Thats a bad sign that theres not agreement or turbulence in the air. There is agreement on one specific section here. But the Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer seized on the republican disarray. They have been so divided, so disorganized, so unprepared that they have struggled to even draft a partisan proposal within their own conference. They cant come together. Theres some agreement among most republicans on the appropriations part of the measure that would cover more testing and more money to reopen day care facilities and schools. But the fact that the Senate Majority leader didnt release the package tells you theres divides. I dont know. I dont know when it was be released. My guess is senator mcconnell will release it tomorrow. Hes the only one that really knows what is in it. I encourage to put it out there and lets start debating it. Now, the one thing that we do know not in this is the cut in the payroll tax. Thats something the president pushed for. Didnt have popularity on capitol hill. They have a deadline by july 31. Thats when the Unemployment Benefits run out. If they get pasted that, there possibility that they could approve it retroactively. Back to you. Trace thanks. A hotspot for spying. Thats how the chinese consulate in houston was described. They said the amount of meddling there was massive. Houston was epicenter for research in the United States for the chinese party. We uncovered a spy ring, at least 1 billion in Research Theft that the fbi incovered. Were putting a stop to the stealing of American Intellectual property. Intelligence sources tell fox news chinese officials at that consulate were targeting American Energy firms in the South China Sea. Lets bring in dan hoffman, a fox news contributor. You heard morgan saying that there are vital assets there and i want to compound that if i can by putting up this tweet from marco rubio. He said chinas consulate in houston is not a diplomatic history. Its a center of the vast network of spies, an influence operations in the United States. Now that building must close and the spies have 72 hours to leigh or face arrest. He says this needed to happen. You agree . Yeah, i do. And this is something the Trump Administration has done previously with russia. We closed russias consulates in seattle in 2018 and San Francisco in 2017 over much of the same concerns. That the russians were mounting massive espionage operations. Im quite sure that the fbi, as morgan said, a long list of these attacks on our academics. Look, houston is an attractive target. Nasa is there. It has an expansive Manufacturing Base and medical research center. Its of high interest to the chinese for sure. Trace you talk about the two chinese hackers. I heard about it yesterday. Theyre going after Coronavirus Research working on behalf of the Chinese Government and on behalf of themselves. Are we hearing enough about this . Has there been enough attention paid to these two chinese hackers . I think theres a lot of concern about these hackers. Lets be clear. Theyre probably just the tip of a business iceberg. Theres a number of them out there. One thing that is important to remember, the consulates that china operates, their Intelligence Officers on the ground can help spot the targets whom the chinese chinese hackers will make condition tact with. So really the chinese officials, roughly 60 of them in houston, they would be a force multiplier for chinese espionage. Thats how the two are linked. Trace you what do you make of these reports that the chinese are hiding a chinese biologist in San Francisco . That looks like its the case reportedly. A female biologist was doing the work of the Chinese Military intelligence. Making contact with u. S. Scientists and academics and seeking to steal our intellectual property. Shes hiding out on the lam in San Francisco in the consulate. That obviously of great concern to us. Again, its really an indication of what china was doing not just there but in houston as well according to reports from u. S. Prosecutors. Trace i have to go, dan but we talk about another cold war with chinese militarizing the South China Sea and Human Rights Violations in hong kong, boosting their defense capabilities with iran. Cold war. You worry about a hot war . 10 seconds. No, i dont think were quite there yet. But i do believe that this incident, diplomatic expulsions, iran could be becoming a client for china. Those are bellwethers that would serve neither country. Its chinas aggressive attacks on us that are the cause. Thanks, dan. We appreciate it.

With cases on the rise, some states are getting hit hard. That includes texas. The state recorded nearly 200 deaths yesterday alone. The most it has seen in a single day. Lets bring in joe mccomb, the mayor of corpus christi. Thanks for joining us, sir. We appreciate it. I want to put the numbers on the screen for you, sir, to give people an idea of what is happening in texas. Over the past ten days, 1,200 plus deaths. That is up 40 and that is as many deaths as in the first three months of the virus and your city, corpus christi, your county especially hit hard. Your thoughts on what is happening in texas, sir. Well, were its just an explosion. Were doing everything we can to reduce it. Obviously. Once that is out in the community, its difficult. We close our beaches, closed the bars. Weve got curfews on our beaches on the night, from sunset to sunrise. Focusing on trying to get people to wear their masks. I have one. I dont go anywhere without it except when im talking here. Were just trying to encourage people to Pay Attention to what theyre doing, their surroundings, wash hands and staying healthy. Practice that social distancing. Trace its interesting weve seen the numbers trace its interesting and i apologize for interrupting. A couple weeks ago you were doing an interview where you said look, we let our guard down. Now were putting our guard back up. Its been a couple weeks. The cases are still kind of really, you know youre seeing a lot of what is the reference to letting the guard down was from about march all the way up through memorial day, we were at a 2. 5 to 3 test positive to tests administered. We were feeling good about we had everything under control. With memorial day weekend, we had probably over 100,000 people on the beaches. That meant they went into the grocery stores, restaurants, department stores. Everything. High School Graduation and College Graduation in the area. I think we just felt like that we were doing okay. Thats when the spread really started. Then of course in our community we have a lot of Multigenerational Families where you have the grand parents, the parents and the children. If one gets it, its likely to spread to the others. I think thats when we started shutting the bars down after we saw the spike explosion. This last week, our numbers have been coming down daily. Not as much as wed like. Yesterday we had an uptick. Through the week last week, we were down in the 200s, down to 100 something. Yesterday i cant explain it, we had 500. I dont know that is because of new batch of test results were dumped on us at one time or a oneday deal. Trace yeah. 502 was the exact number. Eight deaths in your county. What do you think, sir, lastly, about schools opening up . The president has made this case saying look, the kids dont bring it home with them. What is your thought on opening the schools in your area . Well, we worked with our isds, the Independent School districts here. Weve pushed back the inperson instruction until after labor day. September 8. So that will be the first day that they can have inschool instruction. They can go online or virtually. Inclass instruction has been pushed back. We explained to them through our Health Director that that was a movable target if it doesnt look like its better the closer we get. Were doing everything we can. I personally have an interest in that. My mother is a school teacher. My wife is a school teacher. I have 13 grandchildren. Were going to work closely with them. Our Health Director did move the start of class until after labor day. Trace joe mccomb, thanks for your time. Thanks very much. Appreciate the opportunity. Trace well, the pandemic delayed it for a little over three months. Shortened it to just 60 games. But tonight, baseball is back two games on tap for opening day. The yankees take on defending world series champion Washington Nationals and the San Francisco giants play the dodgers in los angeles. Dr. Anthony fauci will throw out the first pitch at tonights nationals home opener. For more on what to expect, wall street journal sports columnist jason gaye is ready to go. Is it . It is a product of the circumstance. Here we are talking about opening day and the excitement of opening day and baseball fans have been waiting very long for this moment. A few moments ago, we had espn report that juan soto, a young star of the world series champion nationals will be out. Hes tested positive for covid. He seems to be asymptomatic and is aokay. Unclear what his status will be for the future. Underlines what a particular peculiar circumstance baseball is walking into here. The wall street journal came out with the article saying baseball will start its weirdest season ever and the question is will it finish. Starting was the easy part.
