You can describe it, connell. John bolton, the former National Security advisor for President Trump, his book is set to be due out on tuesday and an excerpt has been published, wall street journal, other outlets i believe as it relates to President Trumps meetings with president xi facetoface when it came to hammering out the trade deal between the two countries and it raises some serious questions about those oneonone interactions. In a passage just posted to the wall street journal, bolton writes, in his book, the following, he says, quote, trump then stunningly turned conversation to the coming u. S. President ial election alluding to chinas economic capability and pleading with xi to insure hed win, he, the president , stressed importance of farmers and increased purchases of chinese soybeans and wheat in the electoral outcome. I would print trumps exact words, bolton writes but the government prepublication review process decided otherwise. On the last sentence, department of justice sued within last 24 hours to try to stop boltons book which is scheduled to be released on tuesday from being published. That clearly is not happening because passages are coming out now. They are citing in part that boltons book didnt go you there the standard review process. They also say as the white house has been saying for days now the book includes classified information which is part of the objection from the white house. The white house made the case they arent necessarily worried about what is in the book. They take issue to the classified information portion of it. Weve been looking at president as twitter feed. No direct response from the president to john bolton. The white house has not had a direct response either. When asked about it earlier today, White House Press secretary asked about the book here is White House Press secretary kayleigh mcenany. What i would note this book is full of classified information which is inexcusable. Former National Security advisor john bolton should know all too well that it is unacceptable to have highlyclassified information from the government of the United States in a book that will be published. It is unacceptable. Reporter speaking of World Leaders, the president , white house announced today, President Trump will be resuming meetings with World Leaders over here at the white house one week from today, starting next week as he will host the polish president. This move is in a new direction here for president and the whiteouts. Sort of resuming to precovid19 activities. The president will be holding his first Massive Campaign rally this week and that follows with a leader. These bolton allegations, someone in the room, taking notes, just every time john bolton was taking notes here at the white house, not a democratic operative a republican for many years, is something that will follow this white house connell, melissa, for many days, if not longer than that. Connell much more on this to come. Thank you, blake burman at the white house. Melissa . Melissa several states seeing a record spike in new coronavirus cases. Lets go to phil keating in miami with the details. Phil . Reporter hey, melissa. Six states set records for brand new coronavirus cases on tuesday including florida, arizona, and texas. Florida had about 2800 cases. Again today, another 2600 cases. Ocean drive behind me is reopened one week ago today. Like rest of florida, that meant more people out and about, drinking dining, and more after growing economy and more infections. Despite rising numbers, floridas republican Governor Ron Desantis is adamant will not roll back any of reopening. No, were not shutting down. Were going forward. Well continue to protect the most vulnerable. Urge, continue to advice particularly our Elderly Population to maintain social distancing, avoid crowds. Reporter florida is seeing a surge of 14,000 positive cases in just the past 10 days. Increased testing is a factor but the reopening of the economy also a factor. In tampa scores of people on boats participated in a trumptilla boat parade. Daily black lives matter crowds jamming streets and universal volcano bay water park, absolutely no social distancing and minimal mask wearing. Across the country, 19 states reporting a surge in cases, northeast, the original epicenter is seeing declining casings and in the south and the west they are going up dramatically. Despite the governors position the mayors of miami beach and miami say if south floridas numbers keep surging at this pace, they will absolutely consider rolling everything back. Implementing a stay at home order is something that while effective around we saw how effective it was mathematically, it is a measure of last resort. But we definitely do want to sound the alarms. We still have to maintain caution. Reporter meanwhile researchers in england are claiming they may have found the first breakthrough in treating and curing coronavirus or covid19. They say a test showed a steroid actually significantly improved a persons chances of surviving covid19. Melissa. Melissa phil, thank you for that. Connell . Connell lets talk more about this now, how florida is handling that spike in cases. We bring in jeanette nunez, floridas lieutenant governor. Great to have you back on the show. We just heard from Governor Desantis in phils reporting. He says he is not shutting down even with the increase in cases weve seen here recently. What would have to happen for the state to consider rolling back some of the economic reopening measures that are in place. Well, thanks again, connell, for the opportunity and i think you heard Governor Desantis loud and clear. He is not considering rolling back. We have seen increases in cases but as you mentioned a lot of that is attributed to Record Number of testing. The last two saturdays, 50,000, 57,000 test results. Clearly the more you look, the more you will find but in addition weve also recognized there is a outbreak in some of the agricultural areas. In one county of 100 farmworkers, 90 tested positive. So there is a lot of Different Things were doing from a strategy standpoint to make sure we keep floridians safe but the most important thing is to protect our most vulnerable which is the elderly. That is something evident by the decline in fatalities in Nursing Homes and median age has dropped considerably from the beginning of the outbreak was in the 60s, down to the mid 30s. That is something positive. Those people are not suffering the symptoms. Theyre not hospitals or in the icus or on ventilators. Connell there is more to this when you acknowledge increase in testing. We talked to a couple experts on the show they say it is more than that the numbers seem to back them up, positivity rate, number of people testing positive, that is going up. It was 10. 3 either yesterday or today. It is hovering around 7 . Experts say 5 is the safe zone. Just to drive home the point, i was looking at data from Palm Beach County on that, before the reopening that rate of positivity was 4. 9 . Now it is jumped all the way to 8. 9 . So that is pretty high. More than just testing, isnt it . Indeed, it is more than just testing which is why i mentioned the agricultural problem weve been facing and weve been dealing with. Palm beach has a large agricultural area in the bell glade area. That is something were monitoring closely the rate of positivity, but also important metrics we keep an eye on. Not only fatalities but also from a standpoint of icu capacity and ventilator capacity. The purpose of flattening the curve was to make sure our Hospital System wasnt overwhelmed and also important to note palm beach is one of three counties in the state of florida that is not in phase two. They are still in the limited phase one. Connell okay. So, and that is another interesting point because Francis Suarez you heard a moment ago, was on the show yesterday, the mayor of miami, and he is looking at pausing in the move between the phases. Not going from phase two to phase three. Are you relying more on local leaders on, mayors to make those typeses of decisions reluctant and is the administration to reluctant to make it a statewide basis . From the beginning Governor Desantis was willing to work with local mayorses specially in the tricounty area, dade, broward and palm beach where we saw 60 of the cases of covid19. We worked with the mayors. We made sure to give special consideration for counties that saw the outbreak. Whereas, city of miami, within miamidade county, i talked to the mayor of the county, not necessarily city mayor but county mayor, he is confident theyre not going to roll back. They will continue to focus on enforcement. They will continue to focus on really make sure people are complying. Dade county has a face mask ordinance. He wants from his perspective to make sure theyre doing everything they can to take on personal responsibility in the battle against covid19. Connell florida is one of the states were watching closely. Texas is another. There are a few more. Lieutenant governor nunes, thank you for coming on again. We appreciate your perspective. Well condition to into cover it. Melissa. Melissa google on the hot seat. The tech giant faces questions after taking action over two websites over comments made in their comments section. Jackie deangelis is in the newsroom with details. Reporter good afternoon, melissa. Thats right, google playing defense essentially after a nbc news report that indicated the company was targeting the federalist and zerohedge for articles that google said pushed unsubstantiated claims about the black lives matter movement. Google they felt violated the Search Engines policies that for bid the monetizaton of sites that provider interrogatory content. Google now insisting the federalist was never demonetized. It was the sites comments section that was even in question, not the articles themselves. Senator ted cruz wrote a letter to Sundar Pichai, saying quote, recent actions of google to demonetize the conservative media publish, the federalist raises cerus concerns that google abusing my noily power to censor political speech which it disagrees. Senator cruz was on fox news adding this. Google today has become like the empire in star wars and what theyre doing with this step is testing the death star. They cannot abuse their monopoly power to silence free speech. They need to stop this right now. Reporter all right the irony here that it is coming just as there have also been reports that google ceo, Sundar Pichai is set to testify in front of congress about antitrust questions. Google has issues to deal with here. Besides censoring speech and demonetizing their ad revenue could literally bankrupt them and put them out of business there are serious ramifications to be considered. If google is censoring media the question is it an abuse of power. Google reportedly banned over 200 publishers from generating profits through google ads in 2017 alone. This has happened in the past, guys. Melissa wow. Jackie, thank you for that. Connell . Connell all right. Back to the reopening now, a story now as local leaders fighting to get their economies back on track with major cities that are struggling to bounce back. Especially the case in new york as the city prepares for a possible phase two of reopening on monday but social distancing violations raising new concerns. Well cover that from all angles. And bracing for a second wave in china, beijing facing another outbreak and what the spike were seeing there could mean for nations across the globe. A retail rebound across the u. S.

Click or call for a quote today. Connell fox business alert. The Fulton CountyDistrict Attorney announcing that the former Atlanta Police officer who shot and killed Rayshard Brooks will be charged with felony murder. This along with 10 other charges, adding that the other officer who was present at the scene spaces three charges included in those is aggravated assault. This news coming in from atlanta moments ago. Melissa . Melissa to ask or not to ask. New york city contact tracers are not asking patients dying notioned covid19 if they attended the citys protest as part of the preliminary questions. Does that make sense . Here is new york city councilmen steven levine. This is delicate area. I can understand both sides of the equation here. On one hand they mayp not want to identify with someone calling them tracing where they have been, if they were one of the protesters. There is no point having contact tracers if were not asking seng things if you have been with a big crowd. Right. Melissa what do you think is the best way to tackle this . A lot of cities in the country are facing this question . It is certainly a subject that would have to come up at some point in the conversation. I think these contract tracer conversations are very indepth. I think the initial conversation is like 45 minutes. From there, trying to identify in particular close contacts so people, family members about, people that you might be near during work or Something Like that but tens of thousands of new yorkers have participated in the protests in the last few weeks, im one of them and i know that there are a lot, people were very in close contact. One of the problems i think is that because the people are talking with, or marching with others that they dont know, strangers, and in particular face masks on, probably dont know who youre standing next to. So this is one reason why ive been really adamant about new york city and new york state adopting some additional Contact Tracing tools that are out there. Apple and google in the last couple of months, first time they ever really worked together, they developed an api so that the bluetooths in iphones and androids can actually ping one another if you are within, six feet or so of one another for ten minutes or more, your phones will record that you have done that and, if somebody were to test positive they could enter it into an app that could then notify any of the people that have been within that kind of close contact. New york state, along with 46 other states have declined to take google and apple up on developing an app for this because the health authorities, the Health Departments of each state actually have to develop the apps. Only state has are doing it are north dakota, South Carolina and alabama. And its frustrating because, i think they made this decision without anticipating Something Like a protest where tens of thousands of people going out day after day. Melissa i hear what youre saying but i can feel your constituents getting ready to ask you, that im going out and i am protesting because i feel like im potentially a target of too much scrutiny by Law Enforcement or authority figures. Then as a result im going to volunteer for more targeting and enforcement by people in government. It just seems like these two things, the very reason why people are protesting flies in the face why they would want to be identified which flies in the face of everyone that says we shouldnt be out walking around, you see the problem right . Every time i send out a tweet arguing this point, those are tweets i get back. No way, i will not get involved with anything that involves any type of tracing. This technology that cap pell and apple and google developed. Doesnt involve gps or tracking but involves your phone tracking who you have been in the close contact with. Frankly most of the apps that we all have on our phones, whether it is uber or the Weather Channel or grubhub, they have more information about us than these would actually have because they have our whereabouts, they know our locations, they have our credit card information, often times they will have our Social Security information. So the fact of the matter is melissa youre preaching to the choir. Yeah. Melissa i understand. I know. I get it. I understand that the government and my phone and especially google more than anyone else who is far scarier than any government, they know where i am, what im doing anytime. They also can listen on the phone listen to you all the time. They always promise they will not do these things just like with this app, later you find out someone did. You know, it is one of these problems i dont know the answer to. Quickly i will give you the last word, sir. I think it requires the Political Leadership because this is, really, when i think a lot of state governments made the decision, okay well totally go with manuel contact tracers and not any technologybased, we didnt anticipate there were going to be massive protest this is summer. When other country, the uk, italy they developed this digital Contact Tracing. I think were going
