Trump Campaign
advance workers who were part of the event did test positive for the virus. Oklahomas governor said hes excited for the president to attend. This is going to be a peaceful night and were excited for the president to come. There was a million requests for tickets. Its really unprecedented. You got to remember, were several months ahead of other of states because we fully reopened on june 1st. Eric arthel we have
Fox News Team
coverage. Mark meredith is outside the arena speaking with the president s supporters. We start with chief
White House Correspondent
, john roberts, inside the center. John. Reporter arthel, eric, good afternoon to you. Its been a long time since weve been in this position, front and center at a trump rally. Its been at least three months since the last one. And the president very anxious to get back out here on the campaign trail. We will be hearing from him momentarily. He took a few questions on the south lawn of the white house just before he boarded marine one. He talked about the bolton situation with the book and the fact that the judge let the book go ahead even though the judge was critical of john bolton releasing it before completing a preclearance review. He talked about the tulsa rally, talked about the attorney general firing
Jeffrey Berman
, the u. S. Attorney for the
Southern District
of new york, a little on the economy and china and india as well. One thing that weve seen at this rally is theres two medical tents set up out back of the facility here and theyre testing everybody who is going to be in contact potentially with
President Trump
for coronavirus. And this morning when the tests were going on, six advance staffers with the
Trump Campaign
tested positive. Im told its likely they contracted the virus at the last campaign event. Wasnt a big rally, it was a much smaller event in dallas. The people have been told to quarantine, you. Heathereither in a hotelroom ore themselves home. Across the state of oklahoma which has a population of 4
Million People
, some 211 people are hospitalized right now with coronavirus. There was a slight uptick in the last few days, got about 400 per day that are coming down with the virus. The governor is confident that the state has things well in hand when it comes to coronavirus. Listen here. We built hospital surge. When you look at the numbers, 68 , 68 of our cases have been under the age of 50. Weve had four deaths under the age of 50. Thats 0. 09 since we started reopening. The data just doesnt point to an outbreak with the population were talking about where were seeing higher positive cases. Reporter theres been a lot of criticism of
President Trump
for holding a rally this size with the coronavirus pandemic still raging. Dont forget, as you heard the governor say at the beginning of this, arthel and eric, that oklahoma has been in phase three since the first of june. So this is something that should be pretty much allowed under phase three but certainly if anybody comes down with coronavirus, youre going to hear it from the president s critics. This really will be a test of what the campaign does going forward. I was talking with the
Campaign Official
a little earlier today who said maybe what we need to do is the next
Campaign Rally
, which will be in about a months time, is test everybody who is going to come into the rally. You know, set up a tractortrailer with testing equipment and do everybody. Theyve got to work the kinks out. But the bottom line is, the campaign wants to have rallies, the president wants to have big rallies. Its likely well see rallies like this one in tulsa going forward. Arthel. Arthel john roberts, thank you very much. Eric. Eric arthel, crowds have been gathering outside the arena in tulsa, some folks waiting a week, camping on the sidewalk as the flood of trump spa supportes file in and there are more protesters gearing up. Mark meredith is outside the arena with the latest on the street. Hey, mark. Reporter if you like the sound of mega phones, this is the place to be. Protesters have been showing up all afternoon long, a mixture of black life matters protesters and
Trump Supporters
. Were several blocks from the actual stadium where john roberts was just. Instead, this is outside of the perimeter, downtown tulsa. So many businesses have decided to close early for today. They didnt want the possibility of getting any damage. Police have let demonstrators take over the street, a little bit of a back and forth 30 of minutes ago. I dont know if you can see it, you see the trump spar tears on this supporters on this side of the road and people that are antiblack lives matter protesters and we have people taking over this side of the street. One woman was arrested who tried to get into the rally perimeter itself. She wasnt going to get into the stadium, she was trying to get into the perimeter. Things have been relatively peaceful. More and more people all afternoon long have been starting to show up here, maybe an indication of what will happen later on tonight. Tulsa police are prepared. Theyre out here, both members of the as well as members of the
National Guard
who have set up roadblocks. A live look on the streets of downtown tulsa, you can see the demonstrations going this afternoon as the president s supporters come facetoface with black lives matters protesters. Well let you know if anything changes throughout the hour. Back to you guys. Eric all right, mark. One woman had an i cant breathe tshirt on, she was arrested for trespassing. Well look into that. Mark, thank you. Arthel. Arthel all right, eric. Thank you. As
President Trump
gears up for tonights rally, we have a brandnew fox news poll showing the state of play in the race. Joe biden now leading the president by 12 points, 5038 . That is up from the 8 point lead mr. Biden had in may. Lets bring in our panel now, david alvola, a chairman and wendy oseffo is a democratic strategist and johns hop o hopks professor. Were waiting for sound from
President Trump
from the south lawn. When we get that, im going to have to interrupt you politely and show everyone that sound. Okay. David, ill start with you. As the president slides in the polls, how much is riding on tonights rally . The president gets tonight to continue to make his case that the economy is improving, that americans can get back to life somewhat normal and that their health will be protected. In fact, as you look at americans surveyed, the concern now is more about the economic security, not so much their health security, as we have continued to see governors in republican and democratic states go from phase one to phase two and in many places phase three. President most importantly but most importantly for tonight, the president must talk about how he is going to improve the continue to improve the economy and what a second term looks like economically. Its the one area he continues to get more support from voters than joe biden, that they believe hes the one who will improve the economy. Arthel well, ill stay with you for a second here because, you know, you still have millions of people out of work. So theres that. And also of, we just got word that some of mr. Trumps staffers contracted coronavirus at an event, a trump event in dallas and they tested positive. They were asymptomatic but they tested positive so they were either sent to a hotel to quarantine or they were sent home via rental car so they wouldnt show up to the center tonight. That is still a factor. I mean, we can pretend and hope as we all would like this virus to be gone but its still here. What do you say to that . Nobody said it wasnt. The fact though is you had governor democratic
Governor Ralph Northam
open up virginia to phase two. You have the mayor of d. C. , mayor bowser, opened up d. C. They wouldnt do it if they were concerned. Arthel well move on because, i mean, theres a difference between opening a restaurant and social distancing seating and then theres the rally. There are marches, the same thing, people are saying the same thing about all of the gatherings that are happening. Wendy, im going to cue something up to you. I want you to think about it. Mr. Biden is following social distancing guidelines. Hes not holding rallies, the spike in coronavirus cases keeping him indoors, if you will. Hes still enjoying a lead. I want to find out how he can fight the thunder of the trump rallies and maintain his momentum. Im going to hold you right now because im getting the sound from
President Trump
. He spoke to reporters on the south lawn before he left to go to the event there in tulsa, oklahoma. So i understand that well have it in about 10 seconds. So i dont want you to start and ill have to cut you off. But you get my drift. Mr. Trump is throwing some thunder tonight in tulsa, oklahoma and mr. Biden has to catch up. Heres the president. The decision in the john bolton book case and the judge was very powerful in his statement about classified information and very powerful also in the fact that the country will get the money, any money he makes. I hope a lot of folks well, i probably dont hope that. But whatever he makes, hes going to be giving back, in my opinion, based on the ruling, hes going to be giving back. I think the judge was very smart and very intig innocent on what indignant on what bolton did. He leaked classified information so hes got a big problem. The event in oklahoma is unbelievable. The crowds are unbelievable. They havent seen anything like it. And we will go there now. Well give a hopefully good speech. Youre going to see a lot of great people, a lot of great friends and pretty much thats it. Okay . Why did you fire berman . Thats up to the attorney general, attorney general barr is working on that. Thats his department, not my department. But we have a very capable attorney general. So thats really up to him. Im not involved. [ indiscernible ] the u. S. Economy is doing amazingly well. Thats right. Thank you. [ indiscernible ] i would say that the numbers that were doing are recordsetting numbers. We have recordsetting job numbers. We have recordsetting as you know retail sales numbers. Thats just came out. The u. S. Economy is doing very, very well. [ indiscernible ] its a very tough situation. Were talking to india. Were talking to china. Theyve got a big problem there. Theyve come to blows and well see what happens. Well try and help them out. [ indiscernible ] see you in oklahoma. Arthel all right. So there is the president wrapping up there. Ive got wendy, ive got david with me. Wendy, i want to start with you. You heard a couple things jumped out. You had the president talking about the bolton book. He was not denying or defending the contents of the book, he was just complaining about mr. Bolton and the book being out there. Theres that. And also he denied any involvement in firing
Jeffrey Berman
. As you know, the top federal prosecutor in the
Southern District
of new york. Take it away, wendy. Your reaction. Well, i think theres a pattern and practice with this president when it comes to people being fired. He often says that he has nothing to do with it but then a few months later we find out that whether it was a recommendation or a direct order from him, its actually something that he was fully aware of. But i think its interesting, your previous question about the rally in tulsa, you know, i think it is a gross, gross negligence from the president to hold his rally when people in this country are still dying from the coronavirus. I mean, a testament to that is the fact that six of his advanced staffers tested positive with the coronavirus. And when you look at images coming out now from tulsa, we see people who decent have masks on even though they are handing them out. The fact that the president s ego is much larger than the wellbeing of this nation and he would rather hold a rally to spread his thoughts and feelings about whats going into this election as opposed to doing things that merit social distancing and making sure americans are healthy, is not something becoming of the leader of the free world. And again, that is gross negligence on his part. So i commend biden for actually social distancing and arthel david, the death toll of americans having died from coronavirus is just shy of 120,000 as wendy pointed out, that is still a problem. You know, are the optics of having this rally worth it for the president . The president is going to communicate his message so it is worth it. Lets keep in mind that this election is ultimately going to be decided by voters who say who is going to to make my economic and my personal security better. And improving economy helps
President Trump
. When people go to vote, theyre not going to remember this rally, whether they did it or didnt do it. Arthel a lot of people are still unemployed, millions of people. There are less people unemployed than there were two months ago and the economy continues to improve and what do we know . The biggest indicator to americans economic success is consumer spending. 70 of the u. S. Economy is based off consumer spending. The more consumers are out spending money, the more theyre being reengaging in the activities that are normal to most americans, the more youre going to continue to see this economy improve. And improving economy is president s best message for reelection. Arthel . Well, david, i thins interesting that you talk about the arthel real quickly. As i stand here a as a black woman, im not thinking about economics, im thinking about the black people being slaughtered in the streets. I want him to talk about his position on black lives matter, i want him to to talk about his position about systematic racism. Thats what i want him to discuss. Yes, people are dying, yes, we have coronavirus. We have two pandemics and that is coronavirus and that is black people dying in the streets. Thats what needs to be addressed, david. You have heard the president talk about
Police Reform
in the rose garden of the white house and no doubt youre going to tune in tonight so that you can hear the president talk about those very issues that you are concerned about. Arthel well, well be tuning in. I appreciate the perspective that you both brought to the table today. David and wendy, we will talk to you both again. Thanks for joining us. Eric. Eric arthel, speaking of coronavirus, more than two dozen states have seen an increase in virus cases in recent weeks. Among the growing cases in texas, arizona,
South Carolina
among others, pushing the nationwide total to more than 2. 2 million cases and sadly the number of deaths does approach as arthel said 120,000 americans. In florida, some
Health Experts
fear that the
Sunshine State
could soon be the new epicenter in our country. Governor ron de santis last hour addressing the rising number of cases in the state, more than 4,000 cases reported today. Anita vogel is in los angeles where yesterday california had the largest one day jump. Reporter its still a dicey situation out here. Its a bit of a change for florida which initially had low numbers and low cases and low death numbers reported for the past several months. But now the
Sunshine State
which was one of the first to reopen beaches, restaurants and businesses, seems to be hit with high numbers of positive cases. In fact, the state has been setting daily records for positive covid19 tests. Take a look at thursday, friday, and now today, with more than 4,000 new cases, pushing the states total to over 93,000. Another 40 new deaths were reported yesterday, bringing the states total to more than 3,000. While the mayor of miamidade said he would not be rolling back any reopenings despite the uptick in cases, he did say there would be increased enforcement of safety measures. And the states governor, ron de santis, said the increased daily infections have to do with more young people being tested who are not part of the most vulnerable population. When we started this, the median age i think was in the 60s in the state of florida for the tests. There wasnt a lot of tests being done. Then it slowly went down to get into the 5 50s. But what weve seen over the last couple weeks is a dramatic decline of that median age corks that as of yesterday or last week the median age of all the positive tests in the state of florida was 37. Reporter the governor went on to say he did think the younger population needed to have a reminder of how to act in a pandemic and they were in the process of launching
Public Service
announcements with tips about social distancing and reminders to wear those masks. Eric, back to you. Eric all right, anita. Thanks so much. President trump is reacting to the

Arthel attorney general william barr writing a letter to the u. S. Attorney for the
Southern District<\/a> of new york saying the president has offered him to be fired. Moments ago, the president saying hes not involved. That the u. S. Attorney
Jeffrey Berman<\/a> refused to step down, setting up a showdown with the
Justice Department<\/a>. Lets go to jacqui heinrich, shes following these developments for us. Jacqui. Reporter arthel, ag barr made the announcement saying that
President Trump<\/a> had removed the top federal prosecutor,
Jeffrey Berman<\/a>, after he refused to step down last night. Barr proclaimed yesterday berman was stepping down and the president was nominating jay clayton, the chairman of the s. E. C. , as his successor. Clayton has never served as a prosecutor and berman hours later said he only learned of the situation in a press release and had not resigned and did not intend to. Today, barr blasted berman, saying he was surprised and disappointed and also suggested he had in fact had conversations with berman about the president s intention to nominate his successor and potentially shift berman to a senior position within the
Civil Division<\/a> of the
Justice Department<\/a> or to claytons current position, chairman of the s. E. C. Barr wrote you have chosen public spectacle over pub lek pc service. Ive asked the president to remove you as of today and he has done so. Barr challenged bermans assertion that federal law would allow him to continue to serve since he was appointed by
District Court<\/a> judges. Barr wrote that the attorney is subject to removal by the president. With the president s announcement a short time ago that he was not involved in the firing, its possible that berman could again challenge barrs authority on this matter. The exchange is the latest episode in the showdown within the
Justice Department<\/a>, fueling criticism that barr politicized the agency. The
Southern District<\/a> of new york has been a thorn in the president s side for years overseeing multiple investigations into trump allies including
Michael Cohen<\/a> and
Rudy Giuliani<\/a> and game into view as the
Justice Department<\/a> tried to block the release of a book by john bolton, which contains allegations that the president tried to interfere with a probe overseen by berman. Berman was reportedly seen at the
Southern District<\/a> of new york offices today. Barr had said his last day will be july 3rd. Well see how this all pans out. Arthel. Arthel jacqui heinrich, thank you very much for that report. Eric. Eric arthel, the
Supreme Court<\/a>s ruling early this week on daca, the deferred action for childhood arrivals program, has not discouraged the white house from trying again. The administration is set to take another crack at scuttling the order that protects people who were brought into the country as children. They were undocumented. The socalled 700,000 dreamers. The
Supreme Court<\/a> ruled against the white houses attempt to rescind the program. The opinion from chief
Justice John Roberts<\/a> said the administration had acted, quote, arbitrarily. The ruling did not address the legal justification of daca. That could be the next legal argument. What will come next, he
Mercedes Cohen<\/a> joins us, fox news legal analyst. Its kind of weird in the sense that the ruling was so narrow, its only one point, roberts said the administration did not give sufficient reason for the public to try and scuttle daca. It sounds like almost out of left field. He didnt explain it. You didnt give enough
Baseline Foundation<\/a> for why you want to do this. Its not proper reasoning. Its not on the merits of the law at all, is it . Well, look, this is the second real significant smackdown by the
Supreme Court<\/a> and as an immigrants daughter, i applaud it. I think its great that they ruled in this way. Im going to walk through the analysis of what the
Justice Roberts<\/a> wrote in the majority opinion. He said that you acted, the department of
Homeland Security<\/a>, acted with respect to rescinding daca without providing any underlying basis other than its going to be rescinded and what
Justice Roberts<\/a> wrote in pages 24 and 25, and i think its great to look at the analysis of the court, he said by doing so, it ignores the fact that these 700,000 dreamers have gone to school, have established businesses, have families, it affects 200,000 americanborn children, to the 700,000, those dreamers. The a brief that was brought foh by the businesses, they said this is such a significant financial impact, if these dreamers were in fact not permitted to stay in the country, continue to work, if were talking about 215 billion, 60 billion worth of federal taxes just in 10 years alone, 1. 25 billion to the state and local governments every year and 60 billion to the employers if they were required to then substitute these dreamers for other individuals. So such a significant impact. If the administration obviously theres already indications that the administration is going to go and try to rescind daca again. The court has signaled to them it has to take into consideration all of these issues. Not simply say were rescinding it without looking at all the compelling reasons that could be impacted if daca is in fact rescinded. Eric you know what the critics say, these people shouldnt be here in the first place. Yes, they may have come in as children but they are illegal. Heres what the president tweeted. He said he will take another crack at this, saying, quote, the
Supreme Court<\/a> asked us to resubmit daca. Nothing was lost or won. They punted, much like a
Football Game<\/a> where hopefully they would stand for our
Great American<\/a> flag. We will be submitting enhanced papers shortly in order to properly fulfill the
Supreme Court<\/a>s it goes on, because of time, let me shorten it. Basically the administration is saying they shouldnt have been here in the first place. Youve got to get rid of the law. But frankly, eric, these are individuals that 50 of the 700,000 are in school. The other 50 that have gone beyond school are productive working people in society. Theyre productive with huge economic boone. Ive given the figures in my last answer. So there is a compelling reason to allow these individuals who are contributing financially and substantially to the society, to continue to stay here. These were as you said, this were children that were brought into the country. They didnt have a chose. And then they a choice. And then they have 200,000 american born children. What are you going to do with them . In the final analysis, the
Supreme Court<\/a> warned the administration if youre going to go down this path again, the administrative procedure act is very clear. You cannot simply make changes without there being some challenge and if its going to be challenged again, it has to be rational and reasonable basis for that agencys decision and if it doesnt establish it, it remains arbitrary and capricious. Eric there are those who say the law is not legal because it hasnt gone through the proper vetting of congress. Theres that issue. So well see what the administration does, mercedes. Good to see you. Thank you for your analysis. Great to see you. Eric arthel. Arthel thank you. Attorney general william barr critical of the georgia

A warrant is out for the arrest of the woman believed to have set fire to the wendys restaurant that was the site of the deadly shooting of
Rayshard Brooks<\/a>. This as the now former officer charged with felony murder is held without bond, choosing not to appear at his first hearing yesterday. Brian llenas is live in atlanta with the latest. Brian. Reporter arthel, good afternoon. Atlanta fire investigators issuing an arrest warrant for natalie white, pictured here in surveillance images. They say she is one of multiple people suspected of torching the wendys. Hours after
Rayshard Brooks<\/a> was shot and killed by police in the restaurants parking lot. For 41 minutes, brooks and two
Police Officers<\/a> had a cordial interaction before brooks assaulted the two officers while being arrested, stole a taser and fired it at officer garrett rolf. Rolf then shot him twice in the back. The
District Attorney<\/a> said he believes brooks did not pose a threat of causing death or serious injury to justify the shooting. However of, there are questions surrounding the
Fulton County<\/a> da, paul howard. Howard is being accused of being politically motivated because hes in the middle of a runoff election. The charges against the officers were filed five days after the shooting, highly unusual and before the
Georgia Bureau<\/a> of investigation finished their investigation into the shooting which takes up to 90 days. Attorney general bill barr was critical as well of the das decision. I certainly would have liked to have seen the
Georgia Bureau<\/a> of
Investigation Complete<\/a> their investigation before charges were brought in. Also, the use of a grand jury. The grand jury process provides some protection to have the citizens in a group decide theres been a crime committed. There was no grand jury used in this case. I think its important to go through the right processes before charging someone. I also think there was a fundamental difference obviously between what happened in atlanta and what happened in minneapolis. Reporter you can catch the rest of that interview on sunday morning futures with
Maria Bartiromo<\/a> tomorrow. Arthel. Arthel brian, you know, several officers called out sick for the past few days in protest of the das decision. Are those officers back on duty . Reporter so, look, the
Atlanta Police<\/a> department and
Police Unions<\/a> have not been really upfront with how many officers have been calling out sick or walking out in protest of the charges against both of the officers. But the reality is, is that its happening, apd acknowledged that officers are calling o out sickn protest of the charges and it is still ongoing, ever since the charges were filed on wefnls we spoke to a we spoke to to a police
Union Supervisor<\/a> who had this to say earlier today. Atlantas going to be the prime example. Officers arent there and things are going to start happening because theres no protection and they know that they can go out and do this and not have any issues. Reporter and we also have essentially majority from what we understand anecdotally, there are reports that majority of officers and at least two of atlantas six police zones have been calling out. Arthel. Arthel brian llenas, live in atlanta. Thank you. Were going to to stay in atlanta now where were going to join a
Live Press Conference<\/a> on this very topic. Lets listen in. Police officers will respond. The
Atlanta Police<\/a> department has not given up on the citizens the city that we love. And we ask that you not give up on us. Weve made tremendous strides in atlanta. We are not a perfect department. And are always working towards improvement. But were not a department known for flagrant abuse, hate or injustice. We encourage due process for those we encounter as well as ourselves. We are all upset by the recent events and we are also concerned for our fellow officers. I imloere to have their back. I would ask to you remember why you became a police officer. We did not choose this line of work because it was easy. We became officers because because we wanted to help people in distress, make a difference in our communities, and simply serve and protect. We have not given up on the city. Nor will we tolerate lawlessness and injustice and i wanted to be clear, we will not tolerate lawlessness and injustice in this city. We rec room for improvement. And we will work quickly to get there. To my apd family, im here for you. I believe in you. You have my support. I want you to know that you also have the mayors support and she remains committed to our safety and success of the department and the city. As the mayor examines ways to help build upon the success of our department, our officers have a chance to speak will have the chance to speak directly to her in the coming days. And now ill take any questions. Arthel so that is the interim
Atlanta Police<\/a> chief, rodney bryant, telling the everyone the city of atlanta that we will not tolerate lawlessness and he says to his apd family, i hear you. You have my support and you have the mayors support. We will continue to monitor this
News Conference<\/a> and of course well stay on top of this story. For now, we take a break and well be right back. Im norm. Im szasz. [norm] and we live in columbia, missouri. We do consulting, but we also write. [szasz] we take care of ourselves constantly; its important. We walk three to five times a week, a couple miles at a time.

Because its the right thing to do. Were also giving

Right now is the time to take care of what matters most. Like weve done together, so many times before. Discover all the ways were helping members at usaa. Com coronavirus arthel as calls for
Police Reform<\/a> are being made across the country, following the death of mr. George floyd, some cities and states are responding with plans to make
Police Department<\/a>s and officers more accountable, this includes baltimore where the citys top copies joining forces with some of the other big city chiefs and mayors to begin a conversation on a national level. Former
Baltimore Deputy<\/a>
Police Commissioner<\/a>
Jason Johnson<\/a> points to camden, new jersey as a model for how reform can work. I think if theres an effort, three years ago or four years ago, to model what
Camden County<\/a> has been doing and thats a road that could have been traveled. Arthel lets bring in baltimore
Police Commissioner<\/a> michael harrison. Good to have you with us, commissioner. I want to start by getting your reaction to the sound we just played. What do you think about that. Thank you for having me. I feel the new orleans connection. Im from new orleans. Camden is an impressive model when i listen to people talk about how that came to be. Im very close to the former chief there, the chief for many years. That doesnt always apply everywhere where one
Police Department<\/a> is a mole for is a mo helmodel. Camden is a model that is impressive that has community input, support and collaboration for how the
Police Department<\/a> is not necessarily run but hauser vieses are delivered and how services are delivered and how engagement happens. So it is an impressive model. Arthel understood. And so something to perhaps emulate on some level. So listen, this police the conference of
Police Chiefs<\/a> and mayors began after the killing of mr. George floyd by minneapolis
Police Officers<\/a>. Since then, you now have 27yearold
Rayshard Brooks<\/a> who was fatally shot by an
Atlanta Police<\/a> officer. So where did the mission begin, commissioner . And did atlanta change or intensify your course of action . Well, i dont think atlanta intensified it. This task force began out of the u. S. Conference of mayors who worked closely with other policing agencies, mainly the
Police Agency<\/a> that i belong to and im on the board of directors, the major cities chiefs association. I was selected to be a number a number of the task force, with two mayors to join the task force to figure out how to of come up with recommendations and how to really put forth the conversation of what will police look like and what will
Police Department<\/a>s look like and whats really expected of
Police Officers<\/a> because for far too long we have been asked to be all things to all people and really not necessarily been the appropriate agency to respond to some of societys issues that should be left to other social
Service Providers<\/a> to handle. Because were the face of government everywhere and the quickest to respond, weve been asked to be the
First Responder<\/a> to many social issues that are not necessarily police relate r d and certainly sometimes were not the most qualified to be able to handle those responses. So were in a discussion with chiefs and experts and i am on my second city in a federal mandated
Consent Decree<\/a>, the second city to bring in and out of compliance with the
Consent Decree<\/a> and were making change in the third degree of the the decree, were doing much of what the country is demanding. We put it in our crime plan back in july, how to invite citizens and police to come together to of
Work Together<\/a> to design how we want police to respond and what we want the
Police Department<\/a> to look like. And so thats what people are asking for. Were already on that path. Some other cities are as well. Were three years into it. But this conversation with mayors and chiefs will bring us to recommendations for what we think we should be doing and how we should look and how we should work in the future. Arthel commissioner, im encouraged by what im hearing. Unfortunately, i have to leave now. I wanted to talk to you much longer. Because youve been a chief for a long time. But i have to go. But what youre doing looks good. , sounds good. I like the idea youre talking about, how the
Police Department<\/a> will look and how they will respond because thats the thing, police cant be everything to everybody. Theyre trying their best. Some of them are bad but most of you are great and we love you. Baltimore

President trump set to hold his first rally in months just three hours from now. The president departed the white house earlier this afternoon, for tulsa, oklahoma. Thats where tens of thousands of supporters are now noisily and eagerly waiting to greet him, both inside and outside the hall. The return of the
Campaign Rally<\/a> coming amid heightened tensions over
Police Reform<\/a> and the ongoing protests nationwide, as the country continues to remain under siege from the coronavirus, as we learn that six members of the
Trump Campaign<\/a> advance team, who are working on tonights trump event, well, they had tested positive for covid19, but were told theyre doing okay. Welcome to a new hour of americas news headquarters. Im eric shawn. Hi, arthel. Arthel hi, eric. Im arthel neville. President
Trump Holding<\/a> his rally in reliable red territory, but tonights event at the bok center in tulsa sparking concern from health officials, who fear placing thousands in close quarters will lead to a spike in covid19 cases. Meanwhile, there is new reaction from the
Trump Campaign<\/a> after those staffers tested positive for coronavirus. Chief
White House Correspondent<\/a> john roberts is live inside the bok center with more. Hi, john. Eric and arthel, good afternoon to you, from the bok center here in tulsa. The president has talked during this coronavirus lockdown about pentup demand, pentup demand for the economy, pentup demand for people to get outside. After talking to a lot of folks outside and inside the bok center that theres been a pentup demand for people to come to these political rallies as well. President trump is also very concerned about momentum because in an
Election Year<\/a>, it is all about momentum, and when you cant get out and do these big rallies, you start to lose a little bit of momentum. People have been streaming in here for about the last hour, maybe 90 minutes. The president wont be speaking here for another two and half or three hours. Already this 19,000 seat arena is beginning to fill up. He is on
Board Air Force<\/a> one right now on his way to tulsa. On his way out the door to get on marine one, he stopped by and talked to the press pool for a few minutes. Heres what he said about todays rally. The event in oklahoma is unbelievable. The crowds are unbelievable. They havent seen anything like it, and we will go there now. Well hopefully give a good speech. Well see a lot of great people, a lot of great friends, and pretty much thats it you know, in terms of something we have never seen before. I have been to dozens and dozens of trump rallies, 2016 and other rallies after that, and i have never seen anything like this, in terms of the area that they have locked down around the venue. For five blocks all around the bok center there is climb proof fencing that we normally see reserved for things like the g 20 or the g7 summit, but thats what it is here in oklahoma. You wonder is that a harbinger of things to come when it comes to future rallies . Will they have to sort of expand the perimeter because of what we have seen in terms of protests over the last while . Theres also of course the threat of covid. Eric and arthel, you mentioned this at the top. This morning, theres a couple of medical tents back here at the bok center. Every trump staffer, anybody who is going to get close to president had to have a covid test. Six campaign advance staffers tested positive for covid. A
Campaign Source<\/a> told me they were coming here to tulsa from dallas, so it is likely they contracted the virus during a trump event last week in dallas. They dont think it was here in tulsa. As far as coronavirus goes, in the state of oklahoma, there has been a recent spike in recent days. It got to up about 430 cases per day. It is on the downswing now, just a little bit, but the governor says he believes that even though there are 211 people out of a state that has 4
Million People<\/a> in the hospital that things are well under control. Listen here. But again, this is going to be a peaceful night, and were excited for the president to come. There was a million requests for tickets. It is really unprecedented, and youve got to remember, were several months ahead of other states because we fully reopened on june 1st. Yeah, they went to phase three on june 1st. This really is going to be a test for the
Trump Campaign<\/a>. They will take a look at how things went here and how they might change it at the next trump rally, in about a month. One
Campaign Source<\/a> told me one of things they may do, arthel, for the next rally is test everybody who is going to be in the rally, where the president is. We will see if they make those changes. Arthel . Arthel john roberts, thank you very much, john. Eric . Eric well, arthel, while john is inside as you saw inside the arena, our
White House Reporter<\/a>
Mark Meredith<\/a> is outside. He just told us that they just closed the doors outside because people have been pushing, so maybe some people pushing to try to get in. There you see police because there have been some protesters up on the other side, also on the streets, outside, so were going to keep an eye on the situation outside the arena. Meanwhile, it doesnt start for under three hours what do you think the president will say . John bussey is with us, associate editor for the wall street journal and a fox news contributor. One thing, i know, john, i think he will talk for a long time. Hes going to go off script. Hes been starved for these. His record so far is two hours three minutes. He will beat up on biden, beat up on bolton, probably focus on the economy and the reopening of the nation. What do you expect . Yeah, i think youve got it right down. Those are the topics he will raise. This is a president who like the rest of us in the nation has pretty good case of cabin fever. And its an
Election Year<\/a>. He likes these rallies. He enjoys them. His supporters enjoy them. He is in an
Election Year<\/a> that is not going well for him. His numbers are down, in battleground states, as well as across the nation. He is seeing disapproval ratings rise, and hes seeing
Public Opinion<\/a> about
Holding Events<\/a> like this not favorable. The public saying this is probably not a great idea to hold a big gathering, so hes got a headwind, and this is a president who kind of enjoys getting out and engaging with people, so i think the topics as you described will be exactly that. You will see a lot of excitement. You will see attendees very kind of happy to be there. The question, eric, is whether or not this broadens his base at a time when people are saying that this is probably not a good idea to risk an increased infection as a result of getting people together in an enclosed area, in a state thats seeing infections rise, like texas and arizo arizonaa and florida are also seeing a rise. The coronavirus has not gone away even though the president has been down playing it. Eric were looking at a live picture there on the left of well, people from both sides. Ve hats and then you have some other protesters. Doesnt seem like almost anybody is wearing a mask. You have the issue of tulsa county, 100 jump this past week in cases. Florida could be the new epicenter. Texas, they are talking about trump country. Let me show you some statistics in dealing with coronavirus. This is in oklahoma. So far they have 10,037 cases. 368 deaths. Good news is that more than 7,000 people have recovered, and theyre in tulsa. 2,070 cases, 65 deaths, but the governor of the state, he has said that they are excited for the president to come, and he also said if people wont take precautions, they should stay home. Heres the governor earlier on the fox news channel. I think we have the governor. No, we dont. Actually he was saying how he believes, you know, if people take precautions, there wont be a growing increase or a threat of coronavirus, that people should take the precautions that were seeing. Theres someone with a mask. Wear a mask i dont know how you stay six feet apart in arena. Wash your hands. Especially in the news that six
Trump Campaign<\/a> workers, the advance team, part of the advance team that were out there. They have come down with coronavirus. Were told they are asymptomatic and doing okay. It shows how virulent this virus is, and as you pointed out, it is a controversy that the president is holding this rally in the first place. Yeah. Look, this is pretty much not an issue. Youve got to wear a mask. Youve got to stay six feet apart from somebody else who may have the disease. It is easily transmissible. It is not just people over 60 who are dying. The disease hasnt changed since the crisis began three, four months ago. It is with us. We are still battling it. Over 20,000 new cases in the country every day. The tone is set at the top of any organization, and its true for the
United States<\/a> too. The president has to set the tone. And if the president says you know, it is going away. Time to reopen the economy. I need the numbers to get better before the election. Then his followers will follow him. If he says im not going to wear a mask. This is a president who lives in a bubble, incredibly protected from people coming close to him. The attendees are not as protected. They dont have the same protections as the president. You can take a
Temperature Check<\/a> at the beginning of the rally as the person comes in. Thats not proof they dont have the disease and are already transmitting it. If the president says im not going to wear a mask, and people can do what they want, thats in direct contradiction to what
Health Authorities<\/a> say must be happening right now. Youve got to wear a mask to protect yourself and those around you. If you dont, then theres a problem. I think that the president risks having this rebound against him in the part of the electorate that isnt right at his base, that is, still thinking do i want to support the moderate democrat, or do i want to support the republican . You know, what am i going to do here . They are looking at this, and they are looking for leadership. Im afraid, though the rally may be exciting for supporters and for the president , you are not seeing a lot of
Health Leadership<\/a> happening right now in tulsa. Eric well, no, in two weeks or so, perhaps if there indeed is or there is not, in two weeks, we will see. We will see what the president s tone is like tonight. We will have it live here on fox news channel. Thanks, john. Arthel cases of coronavirus trending upward in some states in the south and west. The virus has infected more than 2. 2 million americans and has saidly killed almost 120,000 americans. In florida, the state today reporting another single day record, more than 4,000 new cases. Governor ron desantis saying the new infections are largely among younger residents, and many dont even show symptoms. Anita vogel is following this from our west coast newsroom. Hi, arthel. The number of positive cases are on the rise in florida. Thats putting the brakes on a very important section of the economy reopening there. While the cruise ship industry was looking forward to getting its sea legs back, next month, all the major cruiselines are going to have to wait a bit longer. The
Major Trade Group<\/a>
Cruise Lines International<\/a> association, which oversees all of the major ships is voluntarily suspending trips out of u. S. Ports until september 15th, and that is a major blow to florida. The trade group put out a statement yesterday that reads in part, quote, although we are confident that future cruises will be healthy and safe and will fully reflect the latest protective measures, we also feel it is appropriate to err on the side of caution to help ensure the best interests of our passengers and crewmembers. The additional time will also allow us to consult with the cdc on measures that will be appropriate for the eventual resumption of cruise operations. Now, earlier today, the governor of florida, ron desantis talked about the situation as it relates to covid19. Youre having more transmission amongst the 20 and 30yearolds is why the positivity is going up, and i think thats just the function of, you know, were now three months into this. I think that theres a lot of fatigue, in terms of some of the social distancing. Of course, from an individual risk perspective, those are the lesser vulnerable in society. More disappointing news coming out of florida. It is one of four states where apple will be temporarily
Closing Stores<\/a> along with north carolina,
South Carolina<\/a>, and arizona, all due to an increase of coronavirus cases. Arthel, back to you. Arthel anita vogel, thank you. Eric . Eric arthel, you know those protesters in seattle, they kicked the cops out, and theyre continuing to occupy several blocks in that area. Last night it turned into a deadly crime scene overnight. The police had to go back because there was a
Fatal Shooting<\/a> there. Were live at the chop protest zone after the break. Tada did you know
Liberty Mutual<\/a> customizes your
Car Insurance<\/a> so you only pay for what you need . I should get a quote. Do it. Only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Its totally not the same without you. We miss your lets do this look, the sound of your laugh cry screams, and how you make every day here the best day ever. We cant wait to get you back so weve added temp checks, face coverings, social distancing and extra sanitizing to get the good times going again. Its time to roll out the red carpet and kick open the universal gates. Were finally back. And cant wait until you are too. Seattle
Police Investigating<\/a> an overnight shooting in the police free protest zone known as chop, that left a 19yearold male dead and another person in critical condition. Protesters have controlled the area, without any known
Police Presence<\/a> for nearly two weeks now. Dan springer is there. Dan . Yeah, arthel, day 12 of this occupied protests in seattle, and this mornings shooting was by far the most violent incident yet. It happened around 2 30 a. M. There were reports of loud music and even fireworks going off, and then things turned deadly. A male is running towards the restrooms of the previous location, with a gun, and possible gunshots heard. We do have a report of a victim shot outside rancho bravo. Somebody called 911 to report the shooting and
Police Officers<\/a> were dispatched to the scene which is inside the so called chop or capitol hill occupied protests. According to seattle police, officers attempted to locate a shooting victim but were met by a violent crowd that prevented officers safe access to the victim, so the police retreated. Now, just hours earlier,
President Trump<\/a> tweeted waiting to hear from democratrun
Washington State<\/a> as to whether they want help in taking backseatle. In taking back seattle. Ready to move quickly. The governor and the mayor have both said they dont want trumps help. Durkin said this could be the summer of love in seattle. Last night we saw a couple hundred protesters shut down i 5 in downtown seattle, and the same group vandalized the
Police Department<\/a>s west precinct, spraypainted obscenities and anticop messages along the walls. I asked the governor what his role is making sure the police and fire can protect the whole city. We have to have a way to provide
Police Services<\/a> and
Fire Services<\/a> in that area. Now, whether its from that building or using some other building or mobile command post or something else, you know, thats for the city to figure out. Both of the shooting victims were black men. The man who was skilled was just 19 years old. Police have no suspects. They say they are investigating, but how do they investigate . They never got in to process the scene last night. They couldnt talk to any witnesses. When they tried to get in there to get the victims, they had bottles and rocks thrown at them. One person we talked to said this was inevitable. It was bound to happen. Another who runs the security at that checkpoint just behind us said this is democracy in action. Arthel . Arthel dan springer, thank you very much, dan. Eric . Eric arthel, black lives matter protests continue to hold rallies in several major european cities. This now for the fourth weekend in a row. In london, demonstrators gathered in parliament square, and in hyde park, organizers there are offering people masks and gloves to maintain coronavirus safety. Kitty logan is live in london with the latest on the protests there. Hi, kitty. Hi, eric. Yes, these protests do continue, despite the general ban on any demonstrations here in the u. K. , because of those because of the coronavirus pandemic. There are restrictions in place, but those demonstrations are actually still arent allowed, but despite that we saw thousands of people gather in hyde park, in central london, as part of the black lives
Matter Movement<\/a>. Previous demonstrations have become quite heated. Weve seen arrests and statues torn down. Things were more low key today in general. Some listened to speeches. Others marched through the city to parliament. Now, the leader of this movement has asked for a meeting with the prime minister, with boris johnson, and says that these demonstrations will continue until the protesters feel that their views are being heard. We saw other protests today in scotland. A heavy
Police Presence<\/a> there too. Some protesters shouting black lives matter. Others taking the knee. Organizers there say they want to send a positive message, so those protests will stay peaceful. As you say all around here, were seeing these demonstrations every weekend now. In paris too, hundreds gathered. Protests there are approved by the authorities. Demonstrators remembering a black man who died after relatives claim he was in an encounter with police, and they are blaming police for the death of their loved one. Now, some of these protests have been this weekend a lot more peaceful than in previous weekends, but we can report an incident that could be unrelated, no confirmation yet, an incident of multiple stabbings in the city of redding, to the west of london. Police not confirm if there is any connection at this stage to the black lives matter protest. Back to you. Eric thank you, kitty. Arthel . Arthel
President Trump<\/a> set to land in tulsa a short time from now, where supporters are anticipating his arrival, but counterprotesters are also making their voices heard. We take you back there in a few minutes. Looks like they picked the wrong getaway driver. Theyre going to be paying for this for a long time. They will, but with accident forgiveness allstate wont raise your rates just because of an accident, even if its your fault. Cut sonny. Was that good . Line the desert never lies. Isnt that what i said . No you were talking about allstate and insurance. I just. When i. Lets try again. Everybody back to one. Accident forgiveness from allstate. Click or call for a quote today. With one protein feels like. What getting fueled with three energy packed proteins feels like. Meat cheese and nuts p3. Because 3 is better than 1 eric officials in tulsa oklahoma right now taking no chances with the president s rallies about two and a half hours from now. Security is tight there. As tens of thousands
Trump Supporters<\/a> and protesters are converging on the bank of
Oklahoma Center<\/a> downtown. Thats where the president will appear. His first rally since the coronavirus pandemic began. He tweeted out yesterday that his
Reelection Campaign<\/a> quote starts on saturday night in oklahoma. That is tonight. He sees the event as the kickoff for his bid for a second term. Mark meredith is live on the streets in tulsa, and mark, youre at the first checkpoint, where people go in and out. It seems like you have protesters on both sides right behind you. Eric, it certainly has gotten a little bit more tense, i would say within the last hour, since we last talked. We are outside one of the main entrances where people who want to attend tonights rally have to go through. There have been police, riot police, tulsa police, looks like members of the oklahoma
Highway Patrol<\/a> that are making sure that people who are going into the rally can safely get through there, because we have seen a number of protesters with the black lives
Matter Movement<\/a> decide to come over this way. These officers have been doing the best they can to try to keep the peace, but also have had to push people back. I would say probably about 100 feet or so, because there were people that were pretty much right up against the gate. These are the protesters that are pretty much going facetoface with some of
President Trump<\/a>s supporters right here in downtown tulsa. We have not seen any, you know, major scuffles with police. A lot of people yelling obsceniti obscenities, but for the most part people have been remaining mostly peaceful. As you can tell from what we were just showing you, i mean, look at this, the police arent taking any chances. There are several officers deep. They have their riot gear, people out with whatever they may need to get people back if they have to. We have been out here all afternoon. Whats been interesting is that a number of demonstrators have tried to get up to the main gate, but it is considered a private event, meaning the general public is not just allowed to go in. One person was kicked out earlier today. Tulsa police said the campaign had asked her to leave, and they felt she wasnt choosing to do so, so she was eventually pushed out. Where we are live right here, eric, things remaning mostly peaceful remaining mostly peaceful, but police are not taking any chances. Hard to hear. So im going to send it back to you. Eric thanks, mark. Meanwhile, former
Vice President<\/a> biden just responded to this rally. Mr. Biden tweeted a few minutes ago, quote, donald trump is so eager to get back to his
Campaign Rallies<\/a> that hes willing to put people at risk and violate cdc guidelines as long as they sign a waiver promising not to hold his campaign liable. Unbelievable. As you know, theres been controversy over this event, whether or not it could spread coronavirus among people, tulsa county, went up 1 hshgz in coronavirus cases went up 100 in coronavirus cases this past week, also controversy over people not
Wearing Masks<\/a>, not social distancing, they are told they will have
Hand Sanitizer<\/a> and try to take precautions inside, but probably wont know the full answer to that till about two weeks or so from now. Arthel . Arthel eric, thank you. Louisiana is gradually relaxing more covid19 restrictions. New orleans entered phase two of the restart last week, with retailers, restaurants, bars, and casinos now allowing more customers. The executive chef and ceo of link restaurant group, with several popular restaurants and cafes in the
Crescent City<\/a> is joining us now with an update on how the restaurants are adapting to social distancing rules. Donald, good to have you. I want to jump right in, because listen, you know and i know, nola is all about community, celebrating together, culture, music and food are everything. How are you serving food at your restaurant during phase two . Tell us about alterations you have made. Well, you know, it started out obviously march 15th, we had to lay a lot of people off, out of the 500 that we have, we saved about 100 jobs, mostly in the management sector. We then put the next two months, kind of took that staff, trying to doing the masks, getting the kitchen so people could be spread out. We spent two months serving other restaurant workers that had been laid off including our own but also the community. Then we got to open at 25 , and that was a pretty good start. It actually kind of matches, you know, what business we actually have there as well. So with a 50 increase, i think were still facing more about what the actual demand is because, you know, this is a city of 19 million tourists, and now we have a handful at best. But thats really the biggest its not so much the table spacing thats hurting us. Its the fact that theres no jazz fest. Theres no musicians playing. Theres no conventions. Theres no tourists coming to town. Its a struggle. I mean, we have a good healthy amount of locals, but, you know, basically if we did, you know, 100 before, were doing 25 now. Arthel uhhuh, yeah, i mean, youre right, a handful a healthy amount as you said of locals. In new orleans, they know how to cook. A lot of people cook at home. Plus there is the economy part of that, not just for you, as an owner, but folks who are trying to hold on to some money. I want to repeat something you said, that during this time, you were able to retain some of your staff, but you also made sure to help feed some of the
First Responder<\/a>s too. Tell us about that. Well, that was the thing we thought of by the way was because we were going to save these jobs and do everything we can, this was a personal decision made by me and my partners to use personal money and personal funds, you know, hoping that we would get through this quicker than we thought. At one point, oh, it will be two weeks, and then no, it will probably be a month, and, you know, that time kept getting extended. We did eventually open for takeout, and then we used some of the staff that was still graciously, you know, still there helping us out, because it was a scary time, you know, to ask people to work, you know, especially those first few weeks, but those first few weeks, what we really focused on was we did a monday, wednesday, friday event drivethru. We would put like four meals in a bag, so we would do about 300 of those, three times a week. So around 3,000, 3500 meals a week, just to kind of keep people on their feet, while everyone was figuring out where the unemployment was coming from, government assistance. We felt like that was a very important thing to do to have that purpose and just to continue to kind of be a part of the community, however we could, in any way. Even though we couldnt open. Arthel yeah, thats really aweso awesome, because it was beyond not just
First Responder<\/a>s although they are very important too, but you were giving back to the community, the community that loves you so much and your restaurants. I mean, listen between your restaurants, all of your restaurants, i love them all by the way, and the brennans, too many more to mention. You know how much nola loves food. You cant only rely on locals as much as you love them at our establishments. Can you see the day when were back to the old times, or is this the way it is going to be for a while . I think this is going i think this is going to be the way it is for a while, but i dont think it is permanent. New orleans is a gem in this country. I have obviously traveled to europe to get all these ideas, but new orleans is the home i always come back to. Its got such great architecture and people and music. In my opinion, it is the most unique city in america. I mean, they are all unique in their own ways, but i have a special place for new orleans as im sure you do, and i love their restaurants. I mean, im not alone with the rest of the locals that have been very excited to be able to go out to eat. One of my favorites i was looking forward to opening up. All of these restaurants that are just like a big part of your life, every day routine, and its not like katrina. People have asked me that before. This is a lot worse. It is going to take a lot longer to come back, but what i do see is the joy in the locals that are eating out on a regular basis, too, i must add. I will say that the return to the restaurants has been stronger that i projected. Although my projections were pretty bleak, when i made them. But i will say that they are a little better than what i thought they would be. Arthel well, thats good news. Thats good to hear. I know what you are saying about katrina. Katrina was horrible, no doubt. This is definitely different. I understand your point there. And of course new orleans is special to me because it is my hometown, as you know, and by the way, brandy, your gm at gianna, she is my friend, good lady. Thank you very much. Good to talk to you. See you when i come home. All right. Arthel take care. Eric . It was three years ago yesterday that
Otto Warmbier<\/a> died. The
College Student<\/a> from ohio had been tortured and murdered because he was an american. He was arrested on false charges and imprisoned by the kim jongun regime. He was remembered on the commemoration of his death on the senate floor by
Ohio Senate Republican<\/a> rob portman. The resolution continues to use our voice including at the
United Nations<\/a> and other forums to speak out against the human rights abuses of the north korean government. This resolution honors and remembers
Otto Warmbier<\/a>, lest we forget what the north korean dictatorship did to him. Eric senator portman handed that
Senate Resolution<\/a> to ottos parents. Their son became a symbol of kim jong uns antiamericanism. Experts say he is setting his sights on our election. Expect north korea to attack the president ial election, experts warning. Kims regime issued a threat warning the
Trump Administration<\/a> about november saying quote the u. S. Better hold its tongue and mind its internal
Affairs First<\/a> if it doesnt want to experience a horrible thing. It would be good not only for the u. S. Interests but also for the easy holding of up coming president ial election. Kims regime has a history say officials of hacking into companies, banks and
Government Agencies<\/a> around the globe. A
University Professor<\/a> says the computer hacking capabilities are sophisticated and can target the election. North korea will be able to test how far, to what extent it can damage the u. S. Election system, its integrity the integrity of the election system, and what it can get away with, so it would be foolish, even for north korea not to meddle in u. S. Politics. Eric the
Bipartisan Group<\/a> issue one produced a report called dont mess with us, saying foreign interference puts our election at risk. Issue one reformist co chair is a former republican congressman from tennessee. He says the election threat from pyongyang is very real. They can do it, you know, from a closet in north korea, because of technology, so its almost like the box cutters used in 9 11, it is crude technology, we dont know what they are up to, but they can really mess us up again in this election cycle, so weve got to be very aware of our of this threat. Eric north korea has hacked the u. S. Before. The department of
Homeland Security<\/a> has said it attacked american infrastructure, such as, banks and financial institutions. In 2014, it attacked sony pictures, in retaliation for it releasing seth rogans antiregime comedy the interview. But an attempt on our election would be far more serious. The thing to do is not to cave, not to allow north korea to feel further emboldened to interfere in the u. S. Election system or to blatantly violate u. N. Security council resolutions. I dont think they can influence the outcome of our election. They can just further separate us from each other and cast misinformation that divides us and causes us to lose confidence in the process. Eric well, both federal and state governments have been beefing up their protections against hacking of the election system. But both the congressmen say
Congress Needs<\/a> to allocate a billion and a half dollars or more in funding to ensure that the election process will be fully protected for the november president ial election. Arthel .

Alexander King<\/a> faces charges of aiding and abetting murder. This as juneteenth memorials and other events honoring mr. Floyd are expected to continue all weekend. Mike tobin is live in minneapolis with the story. Mike . Hi there, arthel. More than a dozen events in twin cities area to recognize juneteen juneteenth, all of them prop propelled by the death of george floyd. One particular act is generating some controversy,
Lacey Johnson<\/a> running against congresswoman omar, who set up the
Campaign Tent<\/a> here at the memorial for george floyd, which prompted only south rage from the opponents, who tweeted their outrage igt writing that they were shocked and appalled that johnson the trump backed republican should immediately apologize. Johnson responded. I will apologize when they apologize for all the destruction that theyve caused to this city, when they apologize for the decades of leadership that has not addressed the issue, so if anyone owes an apology, they do. Johnson also called his opponent congresswoman omar reckless as well as the
Minneapolis City Council<\/a> for their call to disband police, saying that would put the community at risk. Arthel . Arthel mike, what do we know about
Police Reform<\/a> efforts in minneapolis . You know,
Governor Tim Walz<\/a> has expressed a lot of optimism that the special session of the
Minnesota Legislature<\/a> would have produced some substantive
Police Reform<\/a>. They produce bills really through both houses that would have banned the use of choke holds, would have banned warrior style training, would have made bad
Police Officers<\/a> or past measures that would have been intended to make bad
Police Officers<\/a> more accountable, but in the end, republicans in the state legislature as well as members of the dfl party couldnt reach agreement. From this place, where the riots started, where all of this emotion came to get something done as far as
Police Reform<\/a> goes, minnesota failed to pass
Police Reform<\/a>. Arthel . Arthel all right, mike tobin, there live in minneapolis, thank you very much. Eric . Eric arthel, there could be a big change when it comes to coronavirus. You know, the country is trying to bounce back from the pandemic. It turns out that more cities and states are now considering permanent alcohol to go laws, hoping that restaurants and bars could be helped because they have been battered by coronavirus shutdowns. We have more from one of the barbecue capitals of our nation, kansas city. We didnt know what we were going to do. We didnt know what the future of the business was going to be like. Calvin and kinley werent sure if their business would survive the coronavirus following missouri stay at home orders. We had to lay off our employees because we werent making any revenue. That all changed back in march. Missouri governor signed an executive order allowing bars and restaurants to serve alcohol to go. Thats when we started seeing our business picking up, and we started getting a lot more the temporary order was meant to help businesses cut their losses and stop the spread of coronavirus, but now some states are considering making to go drinks permanent. This would be a great way for them to continue to get revenue, while we all have to kind of distance ourself and arent able to come into the restaurant missouri is one of 30 states currently allowing to go alcohol sales. Critics argue mixing alcohol with takeout is a recipe for disaster. A statement from mothers against driving says a permanent change to allow curbside alcohol sales would violate open container laws and lead to an increase in drunk driving, but the
National Restaurant<\/a>
Association Says<\/a> permanent alcohol to go sales could help restaurants survive during the health crisis. Being able to offer these new products, like off premise sales of alcohol, represents up to 10 of their revenue right now. And for an industry thats on the ropes working with capacity restrictions, thats absolutely critical. Temporary orders will remain in effect here in missouri until the end of the year. State leaders will decide next year whether to make to go alcoholic drinks permanent. In kansas city, missouri, fox news. But what i do count on. Is boost high protein.

Major League Baseball<\/a>
Team Reportedly<\/a> has shut their spring
Training Camps<\/a> for deep cleaning this after about a dozen players and
Staff Members<\/a> tested positive for the coronavirus. Will there be finally a season . The
National Baseball<\/a> writer for the wall street journal is joining us, also author swing kings, the inside story of baseballs home run revolution. What are the chance we are going to hear play ball . I think theres a very good chance they are going to try to start a baseball season. What happens once it starts is the bigger question now. Right now as we sit here, the players are debating whether or not they should accept the leagues offer for a 60game season. If they decide not to accept it, then the commissioner of baseball rob manfred will simply impose a season of a length of his choosing, probably around 50 games. But like you mentioned, coronavirus cases have grown rapidly within major leagues spring training facilities, just this week, so theres a lot of concern among the league and the players, of where this will go in the next couple of weeks. Eric what about players and team members of the phillies, for example, come down with it and others . I mean two anaheim guys. I mean, are they talking about that so called bubble plan, playing at a specific place, you know,
Something Like<\/a> the nba is going to have walt disney or disney world. How can they pull this off . That was a thought, way back in the beginning of the pandemic, with uz to do the was to do the bubble plan, maybe in arizona, maybe arizona and florida. That plan isnt really being considered right now. It was abandoned long ago because the players werent very interested in it. They didnt want to be sequestered for so long. The
Television Networks<\/a> werent very fond of the idea either. So they are not doing that. They are trying to play as many home
Major League Cities<\/a> as possible without fans. As we sit here now, theres fewer and fewer places where it seems really smart to maybe play baseball right now, without a bubble. Youre still going to have players who are traveling around the country, going on flights, staying in hotels. Yeah, theres going to be a lot of protocols in place, but they are not going to be quarantined, like in the nba, so this is a really big concern, and it is probably too late at this point to try to figure out the logistics of a bubble. They are going to play. They are going to have to try to make it work with the travel and the hotels and the flights. Eric about 30 seconds left. What do you expect . How do you think this will play out . How will it roll out . How will it work . Do you know . I think they will not come to an agreement with the players. Manfred is going to say heres how many games are playing. Be here for spring training in who weeks in two weeks. Then we will see. I hope baseball is smart enough if it has to cancel the season, do it before something very bad happens and not after. Thats my big concern. Eric dont want anyone to get sick, but we would love to see them get back and play and see what the mets can do. Jared from the wall street journal, thank you. Arthel . Well be back tomorrow. I dont see it. Only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Eh, not enough fiber. Chocolate would be good. Snacking should be sweet and simple.
