Race and Law Enforcement . Sandra Coming Up we will speak with texas Senator John Cornyn how drumming up support for black the blue Pill Protection for all active Duty Police officers. Also on deck special Report Anchor Bret baier, Joe Concha as well as republican congresswoman Kathy Morris rogers. John we began this tuesday with surrounding an abandoned chinese mine. The origins of the coronavirus pandemic. The public is ramping up because for a full probe into china with growing concerns the virus might have leaked from the laboratory in wuhan. Welcome to the first hour of america reports, im John Roberts, hi again. Im Gillian Turner in for Sandra Smith and the Wall Street Journal back in 2126 miners got sick and three actually died after working among bats in an abandoned copper mind. The journal claims the wuhan Journal Of investigated and back inside the mine, caring different coronavirus. John there was no evidence that the Novel Coronavirus came from the cave but this alarming report is causing top republicans to escalate demands for answers from china in our nations top scientist on whether the Virus Spread from that laboratory. Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson earlier today. The evidence of the leaking of the lab has been hidden In Plain Sight for literally months. The mainstream Media Wont pick up The Story and unfortunately dr. Fauci dismissed it and we want complete answers from dr. Fauci. Gillian Kathy Mcmorris Rodgers joins us to respond to that spirit terrifying idea but we began with congressional correspondent Jacqui Heinrich first. She joins us from Capitol Hill, hey, kathy. The abandoned Mine Fueling and elevating this theory that covid19 could have escaped from the Wuhan Lab and still not provided enough access for information for scientist and leaders Around The World to make a determination about this. But on Capitol Hill dr. Dr. Fauci tough questions whether in front of the pandemic through grants through the Ecohelp Alliance with 6,000 to the Wuhan Lab for five years. Dr. Fauci said after 2002 when the virus unquestionably went from a bath to intermediate human. They collaborated with chinese researchers but the money was not approved to make any virus deadlier. You dont want to study bats in fairfax, virginia, to find out what the animal interfaces that might lead to jumping the species. So we had a modest collaboration, a function to take the virus to infect humans and more transmissible or pathogenic to humans. That categorically was not done. Gillian dr. Fauci and Nh Director said not aware of funds the lab could have taken outside of their Grant Approval pure the lawmakers are questioning whether it was prudent to send money to china given how the government has been transparent, gillian. Gillian Jacqui Heinrich life on Capitol Hill. John for more on this in washington, Kathy Mcmorris Rodgers a Ranking Member of the Energy Commerce Committee and the congressman Mcmorris Rodgers leaving this to the w. H. O. To investigate but i know you and some of your colleagues want an american investigation. You are asking the State Department to declassify documents. What exactly are you looking for and why . Absolutely, well, the energy and Commerce Committee launched an investigation in march. And what we are seeking is comprehensive inquiry to the nih to join the energy and Commerce Committee to get a complete scientific and independent investigation into the origins of covid19. That is what we need to appear this is a matter of public health. It is also a matter of Bio Security. So right now we are tracking two possible scenarios. One is that it originated in a laboratory accident. The other is that it was some kind of natural or agenda that is what we are seeking right now. We need the nih to cooperate with us. There is a lot of circumstantial clues that point to a laboratory accident. So as a part of our investigation, we are pushing more information from nih, the State Department, the national laboratory and the department of Homeland Security and Ecohealth Alliance. Ecohealth alliance is the entity that received the funding from nih. And we want to know what that was used for. And it was part of Ecohealth Alliance was the one that was involved in funding this Bat Coronavirus Research with the Wuhan Lab. So it is a matter of public health, Bio Security and we will not leave any stone unturned until we get answers. John lets take a moment to rewind the clock back a year. The eastern White House where the press conference, i had this exchange with him. Lets listen. Have you seen anything at this point that gives you a high degree of confidence that the Wuhan Institute Of Virology was the origin of this virus . Yes, i have. Yes, i have. And i think the World Health Organization should be ashamed of themselves because they are like the public Relations Agency for china. John here is what the mainstream media was saying about this. Scientist debunk Lab Accident Theory pandemic emergency. Washington Post Tom Cotton keeps reporting Conspiracy Theory that was already debunked. Debunk Conspiracy Theory that covid19 was created in a lab. The claim is inaccurate and ridiculous. This time last year, Congresswoman Anyone who entertained the idea, even entertain the idea of this came out of a lab was dismissed as Tinfoil Hat Conspiracy theorist, yet, people seem to be reversing course now. Yes, absolutely, john. What they were dependent upon his people with a lance. The very source to back up the claims that Ecohealth Alliance was saying that it could not have come from a lab, but yet ecohelp for williams that use some of the funding from nih, the money they got from nih to fund the Wuhan Lab. I dont believe they are an objective source on this issue. We have a lot of questions about their work, their workrelated to the back coronavirus research. So far, they have not provided it, Ecohealth Alliance has not provided evidence to rule out. John i want to speak quickly because we only have 30 seconds left. You say in your letter to the Secretary Of State that the Wuhan Institute Of Virology presented itself as a civilian institute. Yet it is determined by the united states it collaborated with secret projects with chinese military. Do you believe there is any possible connection here between the chinese military, the Wuhan Laboratory in the coronavirus . We need answers. That is why we are not going to let up on this. We have not heard back from the State Department. The need to be working with us. They need to release the documents to help us inform and make sure that we have the answers. Now, i would note that Secretary Blinken has said we need to get to the bottom of it. This is our best possible shot of preventing this kind of pandemic happening again. And we must have the answers related to the Wuhan Lab and their relationship with the military within the Chinese Communist Party. John we will keep watching to see if they truly do want to get to the bottom of this. Congresswoman, thank you, we appreciate it. Thank you. Gillian. Gillian the family of a 6yearold killed in a Road Rage Shooting in california is now offering 50,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest. Someone shot and killed aiden last week while he was writing in the backseat of his Mothers Car on a California Freeway. Chief correspondent Jonathan Hunt joins us from orange, california, with the details, hey, jonathan. Gillian, good afternoon to you. Behind me is the growing memorial for a tribute to 6yearold aiden and the fact that we are on this Nondescript Overpass above a suburban southern California Freeway speaks in large part to the senselessness of the killing. Aiden was shot in the back from a bullet entering the trunk of his Mothers Car as she drove him to school last friday on this busy freeway. The California Highway Patrol believe someone must have seen something because on this side of the freeway, as Aidens Mom traveled, the traffic was gridlocked. They hope someone will come forward to. They say they are looking for a new model white volkswagen sedan. This shooting has become emblematic of the ongoing Crime Surge we are seeing in southern california. Take a look at these figures for instance from the Los Angeles Police department. Up until May 15th of this year, 521 shooting victims. That is a 67. 5 increase on the same time. Mick last year. Homicides 129 up to May 15th of last year. That is up 26. 5 over the same period in 2020. So gillian this Crime Surge we saw taking hold as the pandemic began to take hold in 2020 is still a major problem in southern california, even if the pandemic weighed. Gillian Jonathan Hunt come a difficult story to cover today. Thank you for bringing us the details. One thing that jonathan was right to do was connect the dots between the senseless, horrific murder of a 6yearold and a surge in Violent Crime that we are seeing. It seems across the nation, no cities whether west coast, east coast, south and midwestern cities commit seems like no corner of this country is untouched. John Road Rage is everywhere. I see it everyday. Gillian in this town . John this story is just absolutely heartbreaking. I cant imagine taking my son or my daughter to school in the back of the Car And Somebody shoots them. Unbelievable. The police should be out combing every inch of every neighborhood in Los Angeles. Gillian for the good news is, the killer somewhere. If traffic is anything like ive seen on california highways, someone will have seen something. John and they have cameras everywhere. Its got to be on camera somewhere. You can run them all down. We will talk with the California Highway Patrol as well. The defense getting its turn to date and the trial of mexican national, killing Iowa College Student Molly Tibbetts and talk about another story, the defense called Dna Expert as the first witness who testified in the chunk of the car that did not belong to the suspect or tibbets but the dna was clearly found in the trunk.

John could more states follow in floridas footsteps limiting big Tex Influence on elections . A Fox News Alert the Capitol Police investigating an apparent Death Threat against senator Rand Paul of kentucky. Fox news Fox News exclusively obtaining this photo of a letter threatening violence against pole. Chief Washington Correspondent Mike Emanuel live in d. C. It doesnt stop with kentucky. You are right, John Good afternoon to you. The police sang an initial test determines the substance is not dangerous, but it has been taken to an Fbi Lab for further evaluation. The lead are filled with white powder continued with a threat i will finish what the neighbor started you expletive. A neck brace, a cast on a crutch. We are not commenting further than we are working with Warren County Sheriffs Office and the Capitol Police with forensic and technical assistance. Senator paul issued a statement, i take these threats immensely serious. I have been targeted multiple times now. It is reprehensible that twitter allows celebrities to advocate for violence against me and my family. This must stop Pop Star Marx tweeted on sunday, i will say it again if i meet Rand Pauls neighbor, i will hug him and by him as many drinks as he can consume. He is now calling that a wisecrack, john. John wisecrack and others see it as an incitement to violence. Mike emanuel for us, thank you so much. Every day i see twitter has become such a cesspool of hatred and vitriol. Im sorry. Gillian it is heartbreaking because it used to be a way to interact with people you dont know where Around The World. Now it is a place to go receive Death Threats and report to the Twitters Board and they never do anything about it. John people use to blame President Trump for it but hes long gone from true litter. Gillian that is true, very, very true. A lot of his followers that left has still not come back as a lot of people would predict what would happen. John people who condemn his behavior continued to engage in behavior that is contemptible themselves. Gillian so now for something completely different Ron Desantis signing a bill that says will protect americans from silicon Valleys Power Grab on speech, thought and content. To give State Government too much Power But Desantis says what it does is give Flurry Dance powers to fight back. It allows to sue companies and band Socials Media Site from political candidates for office. Former utah congressman Jason Chaffetz and host of the Podcast Jason in the house. The perfect guest in the house. Jason, lets Take A Look real quick. I want to get through this quickly what the law does. We will pull this up so you and the viewers can see this. The new Florida Law hes proposed. Sue tech companies up to 100,000 if they believe they have been wrongly censored appear censored appeared companies in turn must detail how they make decisions about banning people or censoring them. And political candidates cannot be the platform formed, at least while running for office. How does that all sound to you . Is this kind of going to cut the mustard and fix the inequities built to the Social Media platforms . Well, it certainly makes a better Purity Governor desantis showing why he is one of the top contenders in 2024 along with senator tim Scott And Kristi noem. I do think it will help political candidates who are often censored and pushed out. I do think that these hightech companies of the legal sophistication going after them is not elevated to the level in which it could and should appear they do think they engaged in deceptive trade practices. I think the way they treat minors is another vulnerability for them. I think the right to be forgotten which they deployed in europe and other places is something that continues to be pursued, but i think Governor Desantis is on the right track. Allow them to be able to go to court. One of the more damaging things to the Social Media companies is if they have to appeal back the Bail And Show why and how they made these decisions. Because i think they are terribly vulnerable to the political bias and just out right campaigning in favor of democrats. Gillian it is interesting when i said off the top, does this Bill Help level some of the inequities that are built into the system on the platforms . That is exactly what it meant. Do you think this bill will go some of the way towards forcing these companies to Detail Way they are pinning so many conservatives versus liberal . Do you think it will help there . Yes. I really do. I think there will be legal sophistication that was after this. I want to get the democrats to argue against this. I think a lot of liberals and democrats would have to agree that this would be the right thing to do. In a political sense as you asked about 2022, i think it would be fascinating to see how the democrats, who by and large, 90 of the donation from the hightech firms go to the democrats might think it will put them in a terrible political spot to try to justify or fight against what the domestic Governor Desantis is Doing And i think a lot of states will do the same. Gillian in his own words, we will get you to react on the other side. Ecobig tech has a massive amount of power appear they are monopolies. They were monopolies much more powerful than the monopolies of the early 20th century. They are using their power to enforce orthodoxy and suppress speech in candidates they disagree with. Gillian when hes not in that sentiment. Speak with the suppression is very real. I felt it personally. I know others have. I think they are engaging in general the Social Media companies in deceptive trade practices. I think there are ftc issues that people should go through. If you say you are going to follow somebody, Guess What . You dont necessarily get to follow that person. They put these little hearts to say you like this are follow that, but they are deceptive. You dont actually get to follow that person. They have these algorithms and they are going to think eventually break through and try to display medicals totally against conservatives. Gillian wright, jason, weve got to leave it there but we will bring you back to talk about all the little hearts. We appreciate you taking time for us. Think you. John good to see you. Six weeks to go until the opening ceremonies of the Summer Olympics in japan in jeopardy and being canceled over covid . A live report on that Coming Up.

Gillian today marks one year to the day since the murder of George Floyd in minneapolis. It also is the deadline that President Biden initially set up for congress to pass the George Floyd to injustice policing act. South carolina senator Tim Scott says a framework is now finally starting to come together, but both parties are still stuck over the issue of ending qualified immunity for Police Officers. Just a moment we will speak with Leo Terrell and Police Chief James Craig, but first, Chad Pergram joins us from Capitol Hill. Hey, chad. Good afternoon, gillian. Talks continue and Tim Scott says we can see the end of the tunnel. Lindsey graham noted there can sometimes be a train at the other end, but mixing the metaphors, negotiators are inside the 20yard line. Those who study Police Reform believe the sides couldnt get a deal last year because the temperature was so high during protest in the streets. Speak with the are definitely different and helps to come to the table without necessarily thinking about partisan politics. Im hoping that in this moment where an off election year, we will get this done and i think they will. Speak with the George Floyd family met with House Speaker Nancy pelosi of the capital pushing for reform. The bill they are working on noknock warrants and choke holds Immunity Shields for officer remains a challenge. They will miss the deadline set last month during President Biden speech to congress of reaching an agreement. They probably need a couple more weeks, gillian. Gillian you said congress will miss a deadline . It happens all the time unless there is pressure. Gillian im shocked. Thank you for that. We appreciate that. John gillian for more Fox News contributor Leo Terrell with detroit Police Chief James Craig. Lets start with you on the anniversary of chard until Mike George Floyds Death where are we with Police Reform . We hear about the funding the police then Police Reform and Minneapolis Down 200 officers. The Police Chief there said they are overwhelmed. They Cant Respond in a race of the cities that they will not respond to. You know, i have to tell you, john, this is not Police Reform. Lets look at what is going on around the country. Crime is soaring. Why is that . Well, Police Officers are and certain morale is down. They dont feel supported. Some cities artie policing them and of course in detroit, Men And Women go out day after day, evening after evening doing work to keep our city safe, but they are being supported. So when you talk about eliminating prisons, bail reform, polishing policing as it stands today, that is not helpful. That is what is driving crime. John i want to play a little sound from George Floyd square in minneapolis today. Listen here. This will be Capitol Hill with gunshots. John those are multiple gunshots George Floyd square in minneapolis which brings me to the Wall Street Journal oped by mcdonalds, Open Season in minneapolis. She writes Al Sharpton and civil Rights Benjamin Crump Down Town Minneapolis with the first anniversary of george Floyds Death. Mr. Sharp and crump did not visit Memorial Hospital where two recent victims of the explosion of violence in minneapolis on life support. One of those victims is ten years old and the other is nine. Both of them were shot in the head. What happened to George Floyd is horrible and needs addressing but the activists are missing the bigger picture here. Of course, they are missing the bigger picture on purpose. George floyd is a Cash Cow for Al Sharpton and ben crump. They are using the George Floyd children as props as they play the Race Card. Every case is characterized as a George Floyd case. As a result, there is call for deplanting the police. There is call for having no police. Criminals are having a field day. This is whats going on. You know, the George Floyd Murder Case was a Murder Case. At nothing to do with race. You cant tell that to black Lives Matter and you cant tell that to the democratic party. I will tell you right now, once the pandemic is over the number one issue in this country is crime. That spells disaster for the democrats in 2022. John Chief Activists are calling for greater activists in policing but you see what is happening in crime across the country. We will put something up on the screen for people to look at. But you consider in minneapolis, 171 increase in the number of children shot last year. 19 children shot minneapolis this year. There are other staggering increase homicides across the country as well. We talk again about accountability but what about accountability in the communities . It is interesting that you bring that up. Very rarely do we talk about the victims, do we talk about the families were the people that live in vulnerable communities. Its not about them. So these few, these few people that speak aloud to, repulsive voices, they dont care about the people who live in the cities. Let me tell you come in detroit, the people in detroit who live in the neighborhoods dont wanto defund. They support this Police Department. Look at New York, for example, with a significant increase in attrition. You see, a lot of these are veiled to dismantled policing as we know it today. Publicprivate immunity. We should know what can happen. The Police Officers want to continue to leave if this George Floyd act passes in its current state. Its not going to work. And they are not speaking for people who live in the neighborhoods. John Leo Finish Off with a 30 seconds we have left here. Ever since George Floyd there is call for unity but we seem to be further divided on racial lines than ever before. What is the solution . I will tell you what the solution is. Unfortunately, it will never be a solution because i will give an example last year Tim Scott tried to push forward a Police Reform bill. Guess who shut it down, black democrats Kamala Harris and Cory Booker because they dont want to work with them. They like to play the Race Card. Final point last week we had mayor Lori Lightfoot telling people like you come i dont want to be interviewed by you, however she left black on black crime in the city of chicago. Officers being injured are not being paid attention to peer that is the problem. The democrats job is to play a Race Card to keep a dependency in the democratic city. All the crime that is occurring in the democratic cities. It is part of the game plan. John it really makes you wonder how far we have come and what we learn in the years since George Floyd was murdered. Leo terrell, James Craig, good to talk to you. Thank you so much. John gillian. Gillian a lot more in the next hour, texas Senator John Cornyn and inside the senate for a Police Report from dominic reform bill.

The School District telling local Fox Affiliate deemed in violation of the Student Code of conduct but saying we will offer refunds to parents who complain about the issue. Gillian i mean, here is my thing about this, right . I get its not a huge deal but its always the girls, you know . Stop policing the girls so heavily what they are wearing. This is something you experience a lot in this country whether school, internships and everybody is trying to police what you are wearing. And to do this to a bunch of kids in the Yearbook Photo where they clearly took time to care about how they look is infuriating. She looked great. That is how i feel. John you know i am not waiting in on this. [laughter] gillian sorry for sharing an opinion there. But kind of got my goat. John i love it. Keep going. Gillian lets actually move on. We have Joe Concha. The mainstream media Doing Aboutface after dismissing Wuhan Lab theory as a Conspiracy Theory went the Trump Administration first raised it last year. Here is a look at the headlines now rejecting the possibility that Wuhan Lab being the original source of the outbreak while mocking those journalist who wanted a closer look at the evidence. Here he is as promised, Joe Concha, Fox News contributor and Media Public columnist for the hill. Joe, here is the first question. There was this initial Title Wave in the mainstream media of resistance to the lab Leak Theory. Now a year, year and a halfnot and a lot of public Health Official said this is a possibility that needs more investigation and the Media Tide is turning and heralding outlets as Coming Up with this new and information like John Roberts and Bret Baier are have been pouring on it for over a year. It is remarkable in February 2020, right when we started hearing the Word Coronavirus on our Tv Screens and reading about in our newspapers, we had major America Media outright dismissing say for instance tom cotton, republican of arkansas who believe this came from a lab in wuhan. The present at the time and Donald Trump had said the same thing. Obviously, these people have access to classified information to point them in that direction. They were committed to your point dismissed as Conspiracy Theorist by the New York times, by the washington post, by cnn. It didnt matter. Aunt February 2020 when we are just learning about this virus and journalists were kicked out of china, as you will remember, no one on the ground to verify this and how did the organizations come to a definitive conclusion we didnt know what we didnt know . Gillian that is a good way to put it. Thank you. By the way i would love to get my facebook or at least my Yearbook Photo if possible. Gillian [laughter] you got to choose how it was attitude. So take a listen to this from former New York times investigative reporter nicholas wade. Up until now, there has been no pressure on the chinese at all to unlock because all the Western Media has bought the Conspiracy Theory. Gillian but now, yesterday white House Press Secretary Jen Psaki confirms Guess What, still waiting for the underlying data from chinese Wuhan Lab. 589,020 Dead Americans but at what point does President Biden say we dont want to wait for the w. H. O. We dont know what they are doing. First of all we need access to the underlying data and information in order to have that investigation. Gillian so they are still waiting for the information before they can even think about an investigation. Yeah, they will be waiting a long time. The jets will win a Super Bowl before we get this Information Or Anything close to it in a time soon. The big question when you look back on all of this, gillian, why did the u. S. Media believed Face Value of the World Health Organization by extension because basically what china told the World Health Organization is what the World Health Organization told the world. In other words the Chinese Communist Party said this came from a wet market, walked away from a lab. It didnt come from a lab and that was the end of it. We all took it, not we all bet we took at Face Value. How can you believe the Chinese Communist Party, washington, lincoln, jefferson as far as Truth Tellers and how we took stock in what the government was saying as opposed to verifying, which can take some time as the big issue here. Gillian i want to switch gears to make sure we get you in on this before we let you go. Look at this headline from the New York times Fed Up columnist, attacks on over israel are a gift to the right. What she is saying essentially this morning is that a lot of American Jews who dont support in getting to the crux of American Jews being the israeli Government And Benjamin netanyahu trying to make opposing that it does not make you antisemite. What do you think about that . You are seeing American Jews being beaten in the streets, New York, Los Angeles, illinois. It does not matter. To say this will not hurt that argument as far as palestinian rights and hamas is doing is utterly ridiculous argument. Look, antisemitism and any attacks on any american are any americans in general, that is something like Puppy Mills and cancer. Everybody can get behind and condemn. I dont think this is the time for nuance arguments. Dont try to say this will hurt the palestinian cause. It is an awkward and clumsy way to do it, gillian.

Good to be with you. Gillian you too. Another hour flying by. Im Gillian Turner in for Sandra Smith. Its a Big Day today. Its exactly a year since Minneapolis Police officer knelt on the neck of George Floyd in the city street. Floyds death has led to protests nationwide as well as a Push To Defund and dismantle Police Departments. John in the year since, weve seen a spike in crime from Coast To coast that have pushed back against the defund movement. Senator John Cornyn is here from texas to talk about it all. Gillian plus, Bret Baier on the about face for many in the media when it comes to the Origin Story on covid19. This is as republican lawmakers are pulling for a full investigation into china as the President Biden and whether the virus may have actually leaked out of a lab in wuhan. John we begin this hour with the person that shot and killed a 6yearold Boy in an apparent Road Rage incident. The boy was alpen laos. Gillian first, weve got Jonathan Hunt on The Story. He joins us from orange, california. Hi, jonathan. Gillian, good afternoon. Throughout the day here weve seen a steady stream of people Coming Up to this makeshift memorial for 6yearold aden laos. Theyve been bringing flowers, candles, balloons all paying tribute to the 6yearold that was shot in the back as his mother drove him to school last Friday Morning. As we come up above the memorial and look around that is also the spot where she then cradled his body as he bled to death as a result of that bullet wound. This is not the only disturbing case that the California Highway Patrol is currently dealing with. They are also investigating a spate of shootings with either some sort of b. B. Or pellet gun. About 50 cars according to the chp, perhaps as many as 100 have been hit over the last couple of months in southern california. You can imagine just how terrifying that is. As you drive along a freeway at pretty high speeds just to find your window suddenly cracked by some sort of projectile. So the chp very keen to find whoever is firing those b. B. And pullet guns. Also obviously very keen separately to find whomever it was who fired that fatal shot at 6yearold aden laos. Gillian . Gillian jonathan, i dont know what to say other than thanks for your reporting. John . John lets bring in California Highway Patrol officer, florentino olivera. Im having a difficult time wrapping my head around the depth of this crime, a beautiful 6yearold Boy strapped into his Booster Seat in the back of his Mothers Car on the way to kindergarten. Because of an apparent Road Rage incident, he bled out in his mothers arms. First as a peace officer, we want your thoughts on the heinous nature of this crime. Any time it involves an innocent young boy like what we lost Friday Morning, its going to hit home for every officer involved in this investigation, especially the two officers that were the first to arrive on scene. Something that ill never forget. Any time it involve as young child, well do everything in our power to capture the suspect or suspects. John Cal Trans has cameras all over the freeways. This is the 55 freeway somewhere between the 22 and east chapman avenue. Please tell us you have some leads here. We do have cameras on the freeway. They belong to cal tran. Im sure our investigators will look at that. Not sure if they were recording. Our investigators are working around the clock trying to get as much information as we can. This is from the public, were also asking whether they were going northbound on the 55 or the opposite side of the freeway. John my understanding, officer, it was jam packed bumper to bumper going southbound on the 55 and might have somebody that had a Dash Cam or some sort of Video Rolling at the time. What is your appeal to the public here and helping to solve the case . If youre out there, you know something or heard somebody talking about this, come forward. Do the right thing. And innocent boy lost his life to an act of senseless violence. If you were traveling in the opposite side, it was a parking lot. If you have a Dash Cam, come forward. Let us look at that video. Maybe Theres Information that will help us break the case. John describe what it is, officer, that the c. H. P. And other police agencies are looking for here. Were looking for a white volkswagentype of vehicle Friday Morning between the hours of 7 55 a. M. And 8 15 a. M. Continuing northbound on the 55. If you have information, please come forward. John do they have any idea on the tag . Was it from california or out of state . We dont have that information. Its important if someone knows someone that will help us with the investigation. We know its a white volkswagen, wagontype of vehicle. John the family has offered a 50,000 reward. In your experience is that enough money to draw out scrutiny of people that might have been involved here or does it need to be more . Im not sure what amount it has to be to have someone come forward. Anything added to that Reward Money will help obviously. So someone knows something, you heard that conversation somewhere, say something. An innocent boy lost his life. John maybe some other good samaritans will kick in more. In these situations, the money ticks up, sometimes people are willing to give Each Other up. How is the family doing in this . I havent spoken to the family personally. I can just imagine what a Mother And Father is going through right now. Its difficult time losing a child. A young kid. On his way to school, excited to go back to school. Yeah, it was very difficult. John again, i cant imagine. Officer olivera, good to talk to you. We hope you and your colleagues continue to press as hard as you can to find out whoever was behind this. Its just a horrible, horrible crime. Thanks so much for being with us today. Thank you. John again, i cant imagine. I still have kids in the Back Seat of the car. Theyre 10 now. 6 years old, going to kindergarten, you think about the School Day ahead and clearly there was some sort of incident that the mother expressed her displeasure at whoever it was that cut her off. For them to shoot the car and shoot the little kid . Good lord. What is this world coming to . Gillian the trauma that would ensue from something like that happening so suddenly without any warning at all. For our viewers on the screen that might know something, call the number on the screen. Thats the best way forward. John somebody saw something. They had to. The mother heard the shot. Somebody else heard it. Gillian had to have. Well, this is a Fox News Alert. Moments ago, the White House has said that President Biden wants an independent investigation into the origins of covid19, this comes as the president faces criticism from the right, that hes not putting enough pressure on chinese government leaders. Peter doocy is live out of the briefing what is the latest . The latest is we just found out how openminded President Biden is about this investigation. Doesnt biden seriously think that covid19 may have been manmade and escaped from a lab in china are a whacky Conspiracy Theory or based on what he has heard and been briefed on, does he think its possible . The president believes theres needs to be an independent investigation. He believes that every theory should be explored but shouldnt jump to conclusions before that data and that information is made available. Right now china is not cooperating, so the united States Government says they dont have access to critical data from covids early days. You dont want to study bats in fairfax county, virginia to find out what the animals Human Interface is that might lead to a jumping of species. So we had a modest collaboration. Republicans are charging its not supposed to be as complicated as dr. Fauci says. The evidence has been hidden in plane sight, the media doesnt want it to be picked up and dr. Fauci doesnt want to talk about it. When he talks about it, he uses loyally phrases and increases my curiosity. As of right now, the White House two days in a row is telling us that they are not going to push for an americanled investigation to try to convince china to give the world or give american investigators some of this underlying data that is necessary for the probe to move forward into phase 2. They are going to let the World Health Organization, which they rejoined after the president was sworn in to continue to take the lead. Gillian . Gillian we heard Jen Psaki tell you they Cant Launch any kind of investigation until they get the underlying data. So sounds like the u. S. Is in a Holding Pattern Waiting on the w. H. O. As long as the president doesnt ask. He said hes known President Xi a long time but to date hes not asked for the information either. Gillian thanks, peter. We appreciate it. John not that President Xi will give it up. Coming up, we go to minneapolis marking the year of the death of George Floyd. More rising crime after his death. Even today when multiple shots rang out near the square where floyd died. Gillian all this as some on the left are continuing their call for defund the police.

John this is the Oneyear Anniversary of George Floyd being murdered by Derek Chauvin on the streets of minneapolis. Watch what happened in George Floyd square as an a. P. Crew was Doing A live report. We have to be careful. Gun shots. [Gun Shots]. John multiple Gun Shots ringing out. More from our team on the ground just a moment. Floyds death sparked much of protests across the country. Some turning violent. Sparked a push on the left to defund and dismantle Police Departments. Since then, crime has spiked in many cities including minneapolis. Texas Senator John Cornyn is standing by with more. We begin with Garrett Tenney in minneapolis. Quite a morning. Yeah, our crew was there in George Floyd square. The Autonomous Zone where police are not welcome when the Gun Fight broke out. The Associated Press set up next to us caught it all live during one of their reports. They wanted this bill of comprehensive Police Reforms to be just have to be careful with Gun Shots. [Gun Shots]. Sounds like Gun Shots. That shooting is the latest example in a surge of Violent Crime that minneapolis has seen. Murders are up to 113 compared to a year ago. Overall, crime is up 50 . Some are blaming the City Council which pledged to dismantle the Police Department. M. P. D. Is down 200 officers from a year ago due to a wave of early retirements after the unrest last summer. Mayor frye is asking state and federal Law Enforcement to send help while the City Council continues to push to dismantle the Police Department arguing that funding various social programs would do more to stop the violence than hiring additional officers. Today on the anniversary of george Floyds Death, the celebration of Life Event Downtown are celebrating small steps that have been made the past year but continuing to call for change both to police Account Ability and overall systemic racism. John . John real quick, did the Police Respond to the Gun Shots . I can tell you we didnt see or hear the police there. We know they said one man was dropped off at the hospital afterwards. We saw the Vehicle Speed past us as we ran and hid behind cars. Never heard any sirens at all. John Stay Safe for us. Thanks, garrett. Gillian wow. Lets bring in the texas republican Senator John Cornyn. On this Oneyear Anniversary of george Floyds Death, i want to give you the opportunity off the top to weighin with your reflections on how that event has sort of impacted american Race Relations over recent months. One of the things we learned is, many of the communities being policed by Law Enforcement, theres a Trust Deficit there. Tim scott, the senator from south carolina, has spoken eloquently about the different experience that people from different backgrounds and different communities have with dealing with the police. One of the most important things we need is accountability. Theres nothing that a good cop hates worse than a bad cop. Weve seen in the case of George Floyd a criminal Prosecution And Trial and a conviction for a Police Officer overstepping his bounds and causing the death of George Floyd. So i think we have come a ways but still have further to go. Gillian so it seems now sort of everywhere apparent that with this surge in Violent Crime in american cities over the last couple months that efforts to defund the police, to reallocate Police Department funding in various cities is being watered down. For example in minnesota, weve seen 32 homicides so far this year. That is up from 15 at this point last year in the last month alone. Three children under the age of 10 have been caught in crossfire of Gun Violence. One has died. He was 6 years old. Seems sort of excuse me. She was 6, senator. Seems like on the political front here there is now a Blockage Against defunding the police in some of these places. Does that give you hope that americans may yet again rally around the blue . Well, as you just heard the Gun Shots in minneapolis, the absence of police does not make a community safer. Its more dangerous and less safe. Many people of color have expressed that over and over again. Theyre more likely to be targeted more likely to be injured or die, they or their family members. Theres been backlash against this crazy idea of defunding the police and recognizing the importance of defending the police. Make sure you dont have to mass retirements and difficulty retaining place. They serve in a critical position in our communities. We need to make sure that we build the deficit of trust that does exist in some communities. Gillian i want to ask you about when it comes to the violent Crime Surge, youve introduced this back the Blue Act. Is the epidemic of Gun Violence and homicides in the u. S. Something that you and your senate colleagues are talking about on a daily basis on Capitol Hill . Is it really in the Blood Stream at this point or are there still senators that are kind of resistant to embrace that reality . There is constant discussion about Police Reform, things we can do to make Law Enforcement better. The one thing were not going to do is were not going to fail to support our police. Thats why i introduced the back the Blue Act to make sure that violence against the police is unacceptable No Matter what the circumstances are. If you commit a homicide of a Law Enforcement officer, youd be subject to the death penalty. I think that message is really important. Yeah. Absolutely. Senator cornyn, thanks for taking time with us and hearing from you directly. Thank you. Gillian john . John gillian, officials taking action on a statesponsored hijacking. Wait till you see how some airlines are going out of the way of the country involved. Gillian and the media is taking a different approach to covid and the questions whether it leaked from a lab.

John many in the media Doing A 180 after dismissing the theory that covid19 might have leaked from a laboratory in wuhan. Not our Bret Baier. He was on top of it from the start and he will join us in just a moment. Gillian first, the president of belarus ordered that commercial Passenger Plane to land. He stands by europe of hijacking the flight and endangering the lives of hundreds of passengers on board including americans. Benjamin hall is tracking this, all the breaking developments from the London News desk. Hi, benji. Hi, gillian. Theres huge condemnation for this now. Lukashenko took 169 innocent People Hostage for seven hours after forcing that plane to the ground to use a Mig Fighter Jet to get the plane on the ground because of a reporter on board. They have instructed the national airlines to avoid belarus completely and closed European Airports to belarus airliners. This was a shocking act diverting a flight between two e. U. Starts for the purpose of arresting a journalist. Meanwhile, video of the reporter in court shows that he was missing a tooth and appears to be wearing makeup. Lukashenko is propped up by Vladimir Putin. We found out the Bidenputin Summit will be held june 16. Certainly another big issue to discuss. Gillian . Gillian no word on what President Biden plans to do, after american lives were endangered on that flight. Thanks for the details. John gillian, top house republicans calling for a full investigation into the coronavirus. This in the media are now coming around to the possibility that the virus leaked out a lab in wuhan. Joining us now, Bret Baier, our chief political anchor. Lets get Back To The Future for a second. Listen to this from a year ago. Have you seen anything at this point that gives you a high degree of confidence that the Wuhan Institute Of Virology was the origin of this virus . Yes, i have. Yes, i have. And i think that the World Health Organization should be ashamed of themselves. Because theyre like the public Relations Agency for china. That question that i asked the question there in the East Room as well as another one i asked him in the Rose Garden was based on reporting that you had done, bret, that there was strong intelligence suggesting that the Wuhan Laboratory of virology was indeed the source of this coronavirus. Yeah, john. A team effort. Gillian did early reporting, too. Your questions obviously advanced the ball at that time. Its april 2020. We had sources telling us that they had a lot of circumstantial evidence pointing to the lab saying no that it was a Bio Weapon or not that they didnt rule that out but saying thats not where they were pointing, believing that the coronavirus came from an accident likely in that lab because they had seen cell phone, been shut off around the Wuhan Lab, streets closed and they had this report that three scientists were hospitalized with something that looked like covid. That is wellaside from the Seafood Market that seemed to not fit at the time. The biggest thing that they knew for a fact at that time, according to the sources, was that china went Leaps And Bounds to try to cover up the virus once it was out to the point of destroying evidence, disappearing some scientists that they couldnt get ahold of and then, you know, not telling the world and changing the Travel Habits out of wuhan into the rest of china as opposed to wuhan and the rest of the world. John we have the headline from your reporting at the time. This takes us to the phase of it. You reported the media was dismissing and sources believe the outbreak originated in wuhan as part of chinas efforts to compete with the united states. The media at the same time was dismissing anyone that suggested such a thing as a Tin Foil Hat Conspiracy Theory. But look what happened in todays washington post. How the Wuhan Lab Leak Theory became credible. The article records that the island that it emerged from the wuhan Virology Lab once dismisseds that gained new credence. The author of the article himself said it was virtually impossible for this to have come out of a lab. A lot of revisionist history going on here. Big time. Look at the organizations that went down way far to say there was a Conspiracy Theory and impossible. What is the common denominator here . I think it was the guy that you were asking the question to. Former President Trump. Then president. A lot of these organizations had a problem with anything that he said even if it was backed up by some people in his administration. Mike pompeo, then Secretary Of State, interviews and pretty specific about what they had. Then they put out a White Paper listing all of the things that included the scientists that go to the hospital in november of 2019. All dismissed until a few weeks ago. John now the Wall Street Journal is reporting it today but it was originally reported three years ago. Three miners working in this abandoned Copper Mine that came down with coronaviruslike symptoms. Three of them died. Now thats being injected into the whole conversation here. The White House is saying, okay, there needs to be an independent investigation. But they want to let the w. H. O. Do it whereas Kathy Rogers said no, we need to do this. We need to hold china accountable. What are the chances the White House will press china on this . Doesnt look like theyre going to do it by Jen Psakis answers saying its up to the w. H. O. And international partners. When youre dealing with something this big, it would at least raise to the level of the January 6 commission up on Capitol Hill as far as importance with all of the people that died and with a lot of responsibility perhaps on the lap of china. So far, thats not that push from the administration. John 590,000 americans have died from covid. While democrats love to say its President Trumps fault, this thing came from somewhere. Good idea to find out where. Thanks, bret. See you guys. John gillian . Gillian Gavin Newsome is taking heat now for his states on going Covid Lockdowns and the impact on businesses. This as newsome himself is facing the prospect of a looming Recall Election. Connell mcshane has a look at the latest developments from santa monica. Hey, connell. Hi, gillian. California is finally starting to turn the economic corner here to fully reopening of the state coming June 15 should help even more. Still so far to go. Unemployment is still high. 8. 3 at last check. Only hawaii is faring worse. Business owners still say they have plenty to worry about. Im worried about staffing, worried about catching up. We have a lot of ground to cover, a lot of ground to cover. The prices are going through the roof. Every week prices for prime rib, chicken, ribs, they go up 20 , 15 . The Recall Election facing Gavin Newsome is a political backdrop for this. It will happen sometimes later this year. We spoke to the former Los Angeles mayor, Antonio Villarigosa about the climate here. He was somewhat critical by his fellow democrat in sacramento. Take a listen. I dont agree with closing the schools for as long as we have. I dont agree the Science Isnt there. The same was true with outdoor dining. Theres no question that after a while it became absolutely clear that we were doing was disproportionately hurting low Wage Workers and small businesses. I asked villarigosa if he would run for governor again. He didnt rule that out. Just deflected by saying that hes not focused on the recall right now, gillian. Gillian Connell Mcshane in santa monica. Thanks so much. John the man whose 4yearold son was murdered after being taken from his bed now speaking out but more than a week after the killing. Theres no word on why it all happened. Gillian plus, the defense is getting its turn in the Molly Tibbetts trial. A controversial confession is at the heart of the argument.

John the defense beginning their case for Molly Tibbetts. Cristhian rivera on trial for murdering the student while she was out for a run. Fox news legal analyst Mercedes Colwyn is standing by with more. Matt finn has nor in davenport. On a the stand right now is Molly Tibbetts before. He was communicating with one of molly friends over Social Media. The boyfriend testified that he had purchased an Engagement Ring for her and they discussed marriage. Of course, that never happened. In the opening statements today, the defense told the jury it does not matter whether theyre republican or democrat, they must put aside riveras illegal Residency And Judge this case on the facts. Riveras aunt testified that he was sending money to his family in mexico and he got into the united states using a coyote. She thinks he came by foot. Riveras former Boyfriend And Mother of his 5yearold daughter said he did not have anger issues and took good care of his daughter. During the cross examination, she cast doubt on Riveras Confession saying that he blacked out. He never had issues with memory and never blacked out before. Also riveras Defense Expert, the Forensic Expert testified that he thinks the iowa Crime Lab oversimplified things with Tibbetts Blood. The Defense Expert said Tibbetts Blood was in an on riveras trunk. You have no dispute that Molly Tibbetts Blood And Dna was on the Truck Seal of the black Chevy Malibu at issue in this case . No, i dont dispute that at all. You dont dispute that Molly Tibbetts Blood And Dna was inside the black Chevy Malibu that is one of the subjects of this case. Would that be true . Yes. The defense seems to be moving rather efficiently through the witnesses. Five already. Back to you. John thanks for the update. Gillian . Gillian for more on that, lets bring in Fox News legal analyst, Mercedes Colwyn. The defense is getting its Say Today in court. One of the Core Points theyre making as part of this Opening Gambet here is they say their Clients Confession was coerced. They have this video of him sleeping at some point during the Police Interrogation that went on for over 11 hours. How powerful is that line of argument here . Youre right, gillian. The defense is trying to move the focus from the forensics, which is devastating. You have Molly Tibbetts blood in his trunk. The only explanation is she was killed and put in the trunk. Maybe the confession becomes shaky, but certainly the forensics are devastating. So the defense tries to keep creating this Smoke Screen. He was interrogated over 11 hours. He was given the wrong Miranda Rights the first time around. He was not allowed to sleep. He stated that he was tired 61 times during the span of 11 hours. So he keeps trying to create the Smoke Screen because the defense has to somehow try to overcome the devastating evidence that stems from her blood found in the trunk. Gillian those kinds of Smoke Screens are sometimes effective, are they not . Weve seen alleged murders get away with sort of lesser evidence than this. Being read Miranda Rights incorrectly or being interrogated incorrectly. Something in the process going awry derailing the trial. Exactly right. That is because the standard is so incredibly high when it comes to finding criminal liability of an individual. Its beyond a reasonable doubt. So the defense is trying to create some type of defense. They even brought in the boyfriend that cheated on Molly Tibbetts just to create the appearance that maybe it was the boyfriend. But theres no evidence to demonstrate that the boyfriend was at all involved. Anything that could equate to some reasonable doubt in order to get this frankly either a hung jury, which would be a win for the defense in a case like this with so much evidence or a juror saying that hes innocent gillian a mistrial or something. Its a new trial . Sure. A mistrial will be an issue that will come up. Im sure theres been a lot of rulings by the judge. Gillian if rivera is convicted, hes looking at Life In Prison Without Parole. Well talk about that next time. Thanks, mercedes. Thanks, gillian. John gillian, china looking to take the top spot when it comes to the space race.

After the second country to land a working Space Craft on mars, beijing wants to knock the u. S. Off its perch as the Top Dog in space. Edward lawrence has more. This administration not as focused on Space Growth as the previous administration. Right now Space Business is about half a trillion industry projected to grow to 3 Trillion in nine years. The refocus on space started under President Trump but since then the chinese have been very aggressive sending a rover to mars, launching rockets to space not caring where they landed. Congress says nasa needs to get man back to the man. Like it or not, were in a Space Raise with china. I think the best way to deal with the chinese on this is to stay focused on what were trying to do. To unlock the competitiveness even further of u. S. Capabilities to make sure were continuing to modernize regulation, encourage the industry and ensure fair competition abroad. He says one of the biggest Growth Areas in space is the amount of stuff up there, that the chinese dont care about. 130 Million centerpieces of space debris. Thats a millimeter long, 35,000 objects more than 10 centimeters long like parts of satellites and rockets dangerous to the international Space Station and people doing space walks. Back to you. John Ed Lawrence from control central here in washington. Thanks so much. Gillian . Gillian the unofficial start to summer is finally just a few days away. It means time to fire up your grill. In case you havent noticed, youll pay more this season at the supermarkets specifically for chicken. Lydia hu has more from New York. Hi, lydia. Hey, gillian. You know, like you said, the cost of chicken has gone up. Thats because the cost to raise them to slaughter has increased for farmers and were seeing that as demand continues to surge. The price for a pound of Chicken Breast on average is up 46 . One pound of Chicken Wings is up 28 . Were here in orange county, New York. Were joined by farmer diane salal. You say one of the major drivers of your cost is transportation and logistics. What have you seen in your Transportation Costs in the past year . About a 20 to 25 increase in costs. We used to pay before the pandemic 250 a pallet. Now were looking around 400 a pallet. And youre doing that several times a month. You can imagine what that does to a small farm. Other issues were tracking is the Increase Cost of corn. A major component in the feed for livestock including chickens. Its up 35 for the commodities since the start of the year. Theres labor issues that are continuing. Tysons farm had an earnings call that they said absenteeism is a problem right now. Its taking them six days to produce what used to take them five days. Were paying more at the store and expect to pay more for chicken at the barbecue this weekend. Back to you. Gillian maybe well have to start off with hot dogs instead. Thanks, lydia. That does it for us on this tuesday. Im Gillian Turner. Sandra is back today. John chicken is in new wagu beef. Great to be with use. Gillian thanks for having me. It was fun. John im John Roberts.
