a 7-year-old girl shot in the head while standing on the sidewalk at grandmother's house during a fourth of july party. her community understandably outraged. >> it hurts that somebody could rob somebody's life like that and don't care. all i can do is just pray to god. >> now to new york city where at least 42 people were shot. nine killed. atlanta, let's go there. 8-year-old shot and killed after cops say girl's mother tried to drive through illegally placed barricades near where protesters burned down a wendy's in response to the killing of rayshard brooks. >>[sobbing] we didn't do anything. >> save black lives matter. you killed your home. >> all part of a violent weekend in our nation's cities including baltimore, philadelphia, cleveland among others. in response, the president tweeting in part, federal government ready, willing, and able to help, if asked. the president later tweeting that democrats want to defund an abolish police. all goes back to brian's question, will they take that help. steve, anxiously and brian back to you. ainsley: definitely a politically charged fourth of july. covid cases are rising as well. all these shootings around our country when we're suppose to celebrate on the fourth of july. shootings in chicago, atlanta, baltimore, detroit, greenville, south carolina. memphis, philadelphia, st. louis, cleveland. just to name some of them. there was so much violence. we have mark meadows his first interview as the white house chief of staff. is he going on our last hour during 8:00 a.m. hour. chad wolf dhs secretary 7:00 a.m. hour. you hear these stories. that atlanta story really is gripping. an 8-year-old was in the car with her mom and her mom's friend. they are driving across the street from that wendy's where rayshard brooks was killed. there are protests still going thereon at that wendy's. this mom tried to do a u-turn to her daughter could go see cousins. daughter is dead. mom was speaking out over the weekend and it's gut-wrenching. steve: it is, indeed. ever since rayshard brooks was killed at that wendy's in the police-involved shooting. these have had these protests down there. and there have been people with long guns and they have occasionally set up these barricades. the mayor of atlanta took them down a while back. but about an hour before that particular car went toward that parking lot on saturday night, the barricades came back up, and suddenly out of nowhere when the mom and daughter were in that car, somebody opened fire on the car. the car was hit a number of times. it did, as we have been explaining, did kill 8-year-old is he core i can'8 sakoriaturne. the mayor had a very important message what is happening on our streets is not helping our cause. here is keisha lance bottoms yesterday. >> you can't blame this on the police officer. you can't say that we -- this is about criminal justice reform. this is about some people carrying some weapons who shot up a car with an 8-year-old baby in the car. we have had over 75 shootings in the city over the past several weeks. you can't blame that on apv. we are doing each other more harm than any police officer on this force. so if you are a part of a protest or a demonstration that looks like it's going the wrong way, that's your time to pull back because you are no longer a part of the solution. you are a part of the problem. steve: and, in particular, the mayor ordered those people around that wendy's with guns to get out. and just to stop it. police are still trying to figure out who fired the shots into the vehicle that killed the little girl. here in new york city, which, let's see, last night, seven shot, five fatally in three hours. and new york city cops blame mayor de blasio because he cut a billion dollars from the fund. two new york city police officers in the bronx were in a car when someone fired a bullet. thankfully nobody seriously hurt. new york city benevolent association said criminals with guns fear no consequences and the mayor owes his constituents, brian, an explanation. brian: no. he was too busy planting black lives matter in the middle of the street in front of trump tower. he is an embarrassment to the country. he should just walk away now and save the city what's left of it. in chicago, 67 are shot. the police have 13 people killed in separate shootings and including a 7-year-old girl there. in the city of austin and 14-year-old boy according to the "chicago sun times." to me, i love this mayor's comment in atlanta. it shows a balance to her approach, obviously she said some nice things about police but she said there has got to be some transformation and quick movement in terms of a verdict on the cop two weeks ago at that wendy's. i love the balance. i love to see a black lives matter person come out, spokesperson and say we're just as offended what happened in chicago. we are just as offended what happened in atlanta and new york on black on black crime as we are what's going on with police and what they say is police and african-americans in america today. so, i love that she -- i think she ising her -- that mayor is upping her stock in the vice presidential i guess sweepstakes. steve: the vp. brian: she is not talking what i would do. you can watch what she is doing. sappreciate her remarks and i hope people start sobering up to what's going on. we are watching these major cities, big and small spiral into chaos. ainsley: go ahead, steve. steve: i was going to add one thing on what brian just said how the city is spiraling into a as. if you live in one of those cities, what are you doing? here in new york city, since mid march, a half a million people have left related to the covid and related to the violence and the looting. and the numbers are just going up. so, think about it. if you are living in one of those places where essentially the police don't really respond because a lot of them are worried about their futures how safe are you the soup kitchens are full and skyscrapers are empty. so many businesses that have plywood over their windows because they are worried that the looters are going to come back, ainsley. brian: or they were there already. ainsley: brian and steve have you lived here several decades brian your whole life or in the new york area out on long island but worked in new york. have you all seen the transformation. numbers june shootings in new york city, 205 in june. just last month. bloodiest june in 24 years. we are going back, guys, 236 shootings in june of 1996. when we remember if you came to new york, you cover your pocketbook, you don't put your wallet in the back of your jeans. now we are back to that again and very scary and sad in this city. steve: back to wearing a money belt. ainsley: kanye west saying is he getting in the ballot in 2020. not going to be able to get on the ballots in big states. joe biden yesterday was tweeting and wondering is kanye going to take some of his votes from the african-american community or others. joe biden tweeted this he said we are going to beat donald trump and when we do we won't just rebuild this nation we will transform it. didn't go into an explanation of what exactly that looks like. katrina pierson from the trump 2020 campaign, she is the senior advisor, she said this about his comments. >> he has been in office for 44-plus years and still complaining about things that are wrong. perhaps it's time to look in the mirror because, in my book, if you are a patriot, that 44 years would have been spent doing things for the american public and for your country and i just don't see the tangible results that have come from joe biden of a patriot. i'm not quite sure that he's aware of much which these days but one thing do i know, steve, joe biden has he e. has been the author and administrator of a lot of policies that have been destructive to our country and to our citizens. ainsley: she was talking in general to steve hilton yesterday. the critics of biden are saying that he did serve, like she said for 40 years. didn't solve any major issues of the past. they are worried he is going to take marching orders from the aocs of the party. steve: i have heard that criticism. susan rice was on meet the press yesterday. she is being considered, apparently as well, apparently on joe biden wanted short list to be vice president. she was asked by andrea mitchell. hey know, you know, you have been in the bureaucracy for a long time, but you have never actually run for an office or held an elected office. she wanted to know about her being qualified then to be the vice president. given the fact that many of her republican critics negotiation have said that she has a problem telling the truth. we saw that during benghazi and whatnot. anyway, here she is, susan rice, talking about how she would be qualified to be the next vice president of the united states. >> joe biden needs to make the decision as to who he thinks will be his best running mate. i will do my utmost drawing on my experiences years in government. years of making the bureaucracy work i have worked on multiple campaigns, presidential campaigns. i have been on the campaign trail as a surrogate. and i'm going to do everything i can to help get joe biden elected and to help him succeed as president whether i'm his running mate or i'm a door knocker. i don't mind. i want to get joe biden elected and see the democrats control the senate and retain the house. steve: so she has been involved in making the bureaucracy work for a very long time. she has worked on multiple campaigns. she has been a surrogate. she says, brian, she is absolutely qualified to be the next vice president of the united states. brian: yeah. she has got a great resume; she certainly has the intellect and the experience but i think she would be a gift to republicans. because she has caught herself in a lot of tornadoes during the 8 years in which president obama was in office from benghazi on back in terms of being candid, there is an issue there. i think the republicans would keep their powder dry hoping that vice president biden names her as his running mate. i would bring something else. contrast transform america with joe biden as opposed to president trump at mount rushmore talking about how great america is and not white washing and not bringing up other people that fought for equality. i just thought the president's speech on friday that was panned by everyone that wants joe biden to transform the country shows, i guess, the divide in the country. i look for mark meadows beginning today and the president starting really on friday to start saying hey, look. frederick douglass, martin luther king, george washington, abraham lincoln, they are all part of the american story. don't throw it in the river. don't throw it in the lake. don't rip it down in the middle of the night. be proud of it and show -- underline the progress we have made as a country and look around at the rest of the world and ask yourself why everyone still wants to be here. and when these guys or whoever it was took down frederick douglass wants statue in rochester, you really have no clue what you are protesting. frederick douglass everything you want this country to become. you don't destroy what he was and the symbol of his greatness where he lived in rochester, new york. ainsley, it made absolutely no sense. ainsley: i think a lot of people agree with you, brian. they done don't want to say they are supporting president trump. if you look at the poll numbers president trump is not doing ass well as biden is dozens of polls. hundreds of polls. i heard the number over the weekend a lot of polls and the president didn't do well. wasn't winning in most of those in 2016 there are a lot of people who feel the same way you do brian. they are scared to talk about it because they are worried they will be called racist even though they don't agree with slavery but do agree with having those statues up. tammy duckworth over the weekend one of the people on the vice president's short list. and she was asked whether or not the vice president should select an african-american woman to join him on the ticket. and she kind of side stepped that she said that basically i support whatever he wants to do. so we will see. we are only a few weeks away from that now. we are in july. he's going to announce the beginning of august or some time in august so we will see. steve: we will. ainsley: we will hand it over to carley she has headlines for us. carley: start with a fox news alert. 8 people feared dead after two planes collided over a lake in idaho. the bodies of two passengers were recovered before the plane sank. six others are unaccounted for. witnesses say they saw an explosion and debris fall from the sky. crews will try to recover the wreckage later today or tomorrow. the ntsb is investigating. covid-19 deaths in the u.s. nearing 130,000 this morning. there are nearly 2.9 million total cases. california, arizona, texas, and florida all posting record numbers of new infections over the holiday weekend. in the lone star state, hospitalizations just hit a record high. two counties reporting their hospitals are at full capacity. florida adding nearly 10,000 new cases on sunday. with total cases topping 200,000. president trump heading to new hampshire this weekend for his next rally. his campaign announcing the outdoor event in portsmouth on saturday. the campaign will provide face masks and strongly encourage people to wear them. this is the president's second rally as the president's pandemic began. his first rally was of course last month inside an arena in tulsa. and those are your headlines, guys. steve: makes sense outside. carley, thank you very much. ainsley: thanks, carley. steve: two children shot and killed this weekend in chicago. what is happening in the second city.

able to talk to her, hold her. tell her anything bedtime stories. anything. >> that is the father of 7-year-old natalia wallace known as natalie who was shot and killed while playing in her grandma's yard. her family describe her as sweet, shy, loving, and good at math. she is just one of the 14 people killed in chicago over the independence day weekend which also saw at least 77 shootings. here to discuss pastor corey brooks. the founder and senior pastor of new beginnings church of chicago pastor. good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. thank you for having me on. steve: we had you on on wednesday to talk about the numbers and it just got worse can you explain to us to the people looking in to what is happening in chicago? what is going on? how do you explain this gigantic number of shootings? >> well, you have a bunch of individuals, young individuals, young men who are illegal gun owners. not only are they illegal gun owners, but they are shooting at each other. they are causing havoc in our community. and they are causing a lot of destruction. unfortunately, as a result of heir destruction, children are being shot. innocent by standers are being shot. it's something that we have to do something about immediately. we cannot continue to go down this road. steve: because, pastor, the violence seems so widespread, are people afraid to leave the house? >> you know, people are afraid to leave the house. but i will tell you in 2012, the "chicago sun times" reported that the block that we live on was the most dangerous block in chicago. but i'm happy to say that this weekend we had no shootings. and that's because of work like our nonprofit organization projecthood that is going out and doing the work that needs to be done to make sure that we stop the violence. individuals are very scared. scared to walk the street. scared to go to the store and playgrounds. it's very unfortunate thing the president has offered to help. do you think should take him up on that offer? >> i'm prepared to take whatever stops the violence and save a life. sometimes we have to get beyond our pride of feeling inadequate and just come to an understanding that whatever it takes to safety lives of individuals in our city. that's exactly what needs to be done bring in the feds or military or whoever to help us to make sure that we can get rid of this violence all all for it, whatever it takes. steve: pastor, has the mayor of chicago dropped the ball? helped or is it so overwhelming can't get a handle on it? >> this has been going on for years. an issue we have been dealing with for years and an issue we are going to continue to deal with if we don't get our hands on it. it's overwhelming for the police department and overwhelming for the mayor. that's the reason why it's so important that we have organizations on the ground. grass root organizations who know these individuals who live in the community who are able to go out and talk to them just like did i this weekend. i didn't wait on the mayor and i don't wait on the police to solve our issues. i was out there talking to guys on the block and making sure that our communities stay safe. i think that's what it is going to take, people in the community are going 20 have to take responsibility and not leave it up to someone else. steve: doesn't seem like anybody is taking responsibility right now. i know you have been doing that for a number of years. let's talk a little bit about your business. you know, you were talking to people over the weekend i would imagine that morale in chicago is almost at historic low when you look at the number of people laid off from the coronavirus and everything else that's going on in the american dynamic down. there is morale down there like never before. >> it is, steve. very hard on a lot of people. very hard on people outside of chicago to understand especially people who live on the inner area outside. a lot of people demoralized. a lot of people economically frustrated. the crime the murders and things of that sort. it's causing people to feel disgruntled and unfortunately people are going to leave and move out of the city because they just can't take the risk of allowing their children to be shot and killed. pastor corey brooks. sir, thank you very much for joining us on this monday morning. >> thank you, steve. steve: all right.

nightmare: brian: violent protests erupting over the weekend including one in baltimore. rioters toppled a christopher columbus statue before tossing it into a city harbor. [cheers and applause] >> they are examining whether to take down columbus from columbus circle in manhattan. here to react is historian. author of columbus the four voyages, incredible book that gives you confidence on columbus in a way i never thought possible. lawrence. first off, how do you feel when you see columbus' statue go into the ocean. >> well, actually is astounding to me that he arouses such strong feelings because this was 500 years ago. it was a different time and place. and columbus is a very complicated sort of difficult-to-understand figure for people today. i'm not sure it fixes anything to not knock down the statues but i understand why people get very, very incensed by his example. columbus was controversial throughout his lifetime. if there had been columbus statues in his lifetime they would have knocked them down, too. because he had a way of rubbing people the wrong way. at the same time he changed the course of history because of his exploration. his discovery of the new world. the things that he brought back and forth between the old world and the new on his four voyages. he was an extraordinary navigator. maybe the best ever. so he was a mixture of things that are good and bad. it's hard to separate one from the other. >> but he did chance form the world. >> he transformed the world, if not for columbus, this world would be very different. and he also didn't actually intend to inflict this cruelty. you would think he set out with a goal to commit genocide or kill as many people as possible. but that actually wasn't his goal. he thought he was on a frayed mission with china which he didn't know where it was and he spent four voyages trying to find it and never did. so he was in some ways hopelessly misguided despite the fact that he was an excellent navigator his sense of geography was really really skewed. brian: it's hard to understand how you would act if you saw another civilization. he came across a whole other civilization and we want him to act as if he was born in the year 2020. >> yes. in his time was a very different time. for example, there was a lot of slavery in italy where he came from. there was even some slavery in the new world or servitude. so slavery was not uncommon. it was part of the world at that time. and he was, you know, living in his time. and he was trying to understand a world that made no sense to him because his maps made no sense. and he was also, as the voyages wore on and there were four of them beginning to lose his mind. during a storm he thought he heard the voice of god speaking to him. he was a very devout person. and he gradually lost his bearings in more ways than one. so, he is a tragic i say almost shakespearian figure because he had great gifts and great faults. we find it hard to reconcile. brian: true. he brought the wheel. he brought christianity. he brought back -- he married two worlds at the time in which most of the worlds thought was flat. i heard it described that what columbus did with his three ships is like when we went to the moon only more dangerous. final thought? >> it was a lot more dangerous. what was incredible was, he lost almost no lines on these four voyages which is an incredible feat given the fact that nobody had successfully crossed the atlantic before him. you have to give him credit for that part. and the other part you have to realize he was a person of his time the other explorers who followed afterward were all of the sa same elk and same attitu. he was not a throwback or anything like that. and he had also a sense of mission. he believed that god was inspiring him to do this. and when he was converting people whom he discovered in the new world when he wasn't enslaving them, he felt he was acting on god's wishes and mandates. so, as i said, he's a really complicated fascinating figure. brian: which is why the subject of the book and you were able to capture all of that in columbus, the four voyages. as we look at columbus is front and center in the news today who lived 500 years ago. thank you so much. >> thank you for having me. brian: straight ahead. more than a dozen names on the short list to be joe biden's running mate. who are the top contenders?

we are in the same boat. so much of america is postponing things. but that is life in 2020. ainsley: they have a good attitude about it. steve: they do. a big party from a party of 10. ainsley: brian we are out now. not invited. brian: let that it. we were able to get on a boat because mass pic mass pica surry water. that's my wife dawn and this is the man who owned that boat. and the he came running up along with brad our big cooking contest. he lost to pete hegseth's hamburger. et cooked for about 30 people in his backyard. is he a culinary genus. he belongs in steve's next book chris ray and his wife christine ray. ainsley: you have a whole group in your neighborhood who cook. brian: fantastic. you liked him better than the other guy? you the most, brian. hayden won the dog contest. hayden's dog run. rosy tiny butter cup. hayden named her. and she got the first prize for the cutest dog and cutest little girl. that was the cake she made fourth of july cake she made. i don't think we won with the cake. [laughter] but we had a great time. you know, she is 4. she doesn't understand everything that's going on in our country. i wanted to make it as normal as possible. we had a great fourth. she did a golf tournament with her dad and she won the golf tournament even though the ball went like that far. it was really great. we had a great fourth. i hope everyone else did. let's bring in lawrence jones. is he a fox news analyst. how was your fourth? what is the message for the country it is politically charged right now. >> good morning, guys. i spent my time here in manhattan just doing some barbecuing. not like texas barbecue but the best we can do. look, i think -- i think my message for the country is that we have got to learn history. we have got to learn both sides of history. we have got to redo our history books. you guys will continue to hear me say that over these next months. and i think that's why we are in this mess. we don't tell the good, the bad, the ugly. you know, we have got people just now learning about juneteenth and the stories, the hymn of lift every voice and sing. some things in history that we have not covered as a country. i think when we start being honest and telling the good, bad and ugly we will start coming together. at least i think. so. steve: there you go. joe biden sent out a tweet last night saying if he is elected is he going to transform the country. didn't say how he was going to do it. we do know that very shortly in the next number of weeks, lawrence, is he probably going to announce his vice presidential pick. a couple of them, tammy duckworth and suture rice were on the sunday shows. here's a little of what they had to say. watch this. >> joe biden needs to make the decision as to who he thinks will be his best running mate. >> biden campaign have their own process they are going through. i'm sure vice president biden will pick the right person. >> i worked on multiple campaigns. presidential campaigns. i have been on the campaign trail. >> if that means i have to go sweep floors in the v.a. hospital and that's what i can do to help him win that's what i will do. >> whether i'm his running mate or a door knocker. i don't mind. i want to get joe biden elected. >> i will do whatever i need to do to support him. you know it's one team, one fight. steve: there you go. at this point in time, lawrence, who do you think holds the edge over the others? >> well, first, i have never seen a lobbying effort for the v.p. spot like you are seeing right now. i mean, i guess its admirable these people going on tv making their case why they should be the vice president. they have an interesting background. but, again, i have said this two weeks ago. i think mayor bottoms is the best pick. i know he is probably going to choose someone like kamala harris. you know, i think the susan rice conversation or obama allies. she was supposed to be secretary of state rumored and what happened with benghazi she had to take her name out and became national security advisor. there is a lot of people in the obama camp and coalition that want to see a susan rice. kamala harris has always been the favorite in the race the former attorney general she has a national platform she is, of course, a blam woman. if you have want someone that has a proven record and economic development that has had a balanced message when it comes to criticizing but still say you can't burn down the city of atlanta, i think mayor bottoms is the right pick. of course, the trojan trojan hoe person that is going to be the one that a lot of progressives are going to be supporting is elizabeth warren. but, again, she doesn't have the minority support and i think joe biden needs someone that is going to wrap his base in that way. brian: there weekend as you know, lawrence, war on all monuments again in baltimore. they had no ideaing columbus was going to be a target they rip him down and throw him in the bay and mysteriously rip down the frederick douglass statue. if you don't like frederick douglass, what exactly do you like? here is the president what he coerce about when it comes to our schools. >> the violent mayhem we have seen in the streets and cities that are run by liberal democrats in every case is the predictable result of years of extreme indoctrination and bias in education, journalism and other cultural institutions. against every law of society and nature. our children are taught in schools to hate their own country and to believe that men and women who built it were not heroes but that were villains. the radical view of american history is a web of lies. brian: is the president right on that and are the protesters off on taking down a frederick douglass statue? >> well, you know, brian, you are a student of history and you know my idol when it comes to american history is frederick douglass. of course i was teed off when i saw that took place. again, two years ago i was on this program every single week talking about the battle on the college campuses. we lost it. we are done. we are finished. we gave the college campuses to the progressives. we did not go there and give the country those young people a fighting chance. and now they have a skewed view of what american history is and they are going to be a bunch of progressives and going to be a feeding form for community organizers and people who hate the country. but we talked about this two years ago and people stood, you know, they set on their hands and didn't do anything about it. so, we lost that battle. now we got to go to the level level. local policies are we bringing conservatives and libertarian candidates on the ground to take back our communities? because right now there is no fighting chance. we have lost the college campuses. we have got to do something better. and i keep saying this. if these people are so bad, i was just at chaz last week, these people aren't there for black lives. a bunch of white people there that kicked me out. they don't want a black reporter there and don't want to talk about the issues facing the country. these people don't care about black lives. they have been hijacked by this progressive left wing base. so, again, to beat them, we have got to go to the local level, take back all these mayor's offices the city council office. i hear republicans say that all time the time they are all ran by democrats. you are correct. are you going to beat them? that is the question. brian: let me go back to your idol, did they take him down because he was a republican? i just don't get it frederick douglass an escaped slave transformed the world. he became a global figure and came back to make the country better to work with abraham lincoln. what is the message? >> brian, i wish i could get into these idiots minds. i can't. they don't have a real agenda. again, it was never about the statue debate or any of that. it was about anarchy. this is what happens when you allow progressives to take over your city. they don't have ideology. they want to burn it to the ground. there's a lot of us that are talking about police reform and things to bring this country to a more perfect union. witbut the anarchists on the grd don't want to have that conversation. the mayor should have nipped this in the bud a long time ago but they allowed them to take over a park and now they can't gain control of it. ainsley: even that dad that lost his 8-year-old child in atlanta you say to go back on your chaz comment you say black lives matter well, you took one of your own. our country i have also heard how can our country feel if we're teaching our kids to hate. thank you, lawrence, we are out of time. we appreciate you being with us. >> thanks, guys, love you guys. ainsley: love you too. some seeing a drop in coronavirus cases over the fourth of july weekend. dr. saphier says don't let your guard down. she is coming up next. usaa is made for what's next no matter what challenges life throws at you, we're always here to help with fast response and great service and it doesn't stop there we're also here to help look ahead that's why we're helping members catch up by spreading any missed usaa insurance payments over the next twelve months so you can keep more cash in your pockets for when it matters most and that's just one of the many ways we're here to help the military community find out more at usaa.com to help the military community just between us, you know what's better than mopping?

>> well, ainsley, we have to be a little cautiously optimistic when we look at those numbers, yes, the states with the highest number of cases arizona, nevada, texas and california are actually reporting declining cases in a lot of their counties. great news only about a day or two worth of data. i like to look at seven day friends. the bottom line is it is encouraging. people are starting to look at the messages. we have been telling them the last couple of weeks. i do have to say ainsley, deaths and hospitalizations are going up slightly in those areas. although we might start seeing these new cases decline, which is great news. tough remember that the deaths lag a little bit one to three weeks afterwards. i'm cautiously optimistic that there aren't going to be nearly as many deaths that we saw in new york, new jersey, maybely because mistakes are not being made like they were made here where we were sending positive patients into nursing homes with that said, ainsley, you will start to see a little bit rise in the deaths and that's something that is going to be expected. they have the treatments and they know how to care for the virus right now. so i'm just a little cautiously optimistic going into the next couple of weeks. ainsley: i want to ask you about the rally. the president is going to hold another one in portsmouth, new hampshire he lost that state barely by 3,000 votes to hillary clinton in 2016. that county has fewer than 1500 confirmed cases and 90 deaths overall. is he encouraging people to wear masks. that's highly encouraged and they are going to hand out hand sanitizers. do you think for our viewers interested in going, is it safe? it's outdoors. >> well, listen, ainsley, it's great messaging to be moving these rallies outdoors, absolutely. virus transmission is markedly decreased when you move outside. contact tracing has shown us specifically in california the virus is transmitted mostly at in home personal gatherings friends and families and not at these large outdoor gatherings. that being said great messaging, great idea. move outside. give out hand sanitizer. encourage mask wearing if you can't maintain six feet. new hampshire is the lowest percent positive cases if you have a lot of the people traveling there it's possibly they could be intersafety travel promulgating some of the virus transmission and spread. important people remember to continue to stay village lent, pretend that you yourself have the virus. everyone around you does, that being said, you can still be outside. you have can still be enjoying yourself but please, please, please, maintain social distancing and hand hygiene. ainsley: thank you so much, dr. saphier. we have chad wolf and dhs secretary coming up real soon. i know so many americans are suffering, suffering the loss of a loved one, suffering economic hardship. the country is crying out for leadership, leadership that can unite us, leadership that brings us together. that's what the presidency is - the duty to care, to care for all of us, not just those who vote for us, but all of us. i promise you this: i won't traffic in fear and division. i won't fan the flames of hate. i'll seek to heal the racial wounds that have long plagued our country, not use them for political gain. i'll do my job and i will take responsibility, i won't blame others. you know, i've said from the outset of this election, that we're in the battle for the soul of this nation. what we believe and maybe most importantly, who we want to be, it's all at stake. when we stand together, finally as one america, we'll rise stronger than we were before. i'm joe biden and i approve this message. steve: good morning, everybody. it is monday, july 6th, 2020. we start this 7:00 hour with a fox news alert. violence has erupted all across america over the fourth of july weekend. dozens killed in shootings in a number of major american cities. brian: many of the victims are children. youngest ones just seven. one is 8 years old. ainsley: todd piro joins us live as president trump offers federal help to stop all the violence. todd? todd: steve, ainsley and brian, a weekend of celebration turning into a weekend of mourning for so many. let's start in chicago where at least 77 people were shot. 14 of them killed, including a 14-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl shot in the head while standing on the sidewalk at her grandmother's house. her community understandably outraged. >> it hurts that somebody can rob somebody of somebody's life like that ant don't twi twice about it. all i can do is just pray to god. todd: now to new york city where at least 42 people were shot. 9 killed. in atlanta, where an 8-year-old is shot and killed after cops say the girl's mother tried to drive through illegally placed barricades near where protesters burned down a wendy's in response to the killing of rayshard brooks. the atlanta mayor emotional as she tells people stop blaming cops. >> shot and killed a baby. you can't blame this on the police officer. you can't say that we -- this is about criminal justice reform. this is about some people carrying some weapons who shot up a car with an 8-year-old baby in the car. todd: take a look at this map. all part of a violent weekend in our nation's cities including baltimore, philadelphia, cleveland, among others. in response, the president tweeting in part federal government ready, willing, and able to help if asked the president later tweeting democrats want to defund and liberal police. steve, ainsley, brian, back to you. steve: all right. todd. thank you very much. here in the new york city area last night. seven people were shot. five fatally in three hours. of course, the new york city police, the officers on the beat blamed mayor de blasio for cutting $1 billion from the fund. last week in new york, there was 140% spike in gun violence. and this is jaw-dropping. shootings in new york doubled every week for the last three weeks. suddenly, it seems like new york is becoming chicago. in chicago, over the weekend, 67 people shot, 17 fatally. corey brooks, pastor out in chicago, at the new beginnings church of chicago was with us about 45 minutes ago. he says they have got to pull out all the stops. they have got to stop. this watch. >> children are being shot. innocent bystanders are being shot. it's something that we have to do something about immediately. individuals are very scared. scared to walk the street. scared to go to the store, scared to go to the playground. sometimes we have to get beyond our pride of feeling inadequate and just come to an understanding that whatever it takes to save the lives of individuals in our city, that's exactly what needs to be done. so it is bringing in the feds. bringing in the military or whoever to help us to make sure that we can get rid of this violence. i'm all for it. whatever it takes. steve: whatever it takes. the pastor said there is so much gun violence in chicago, brian and ainsley, a lot of people are afraid to leave the house. a lot of people are thinking about moving out of chicago because it is so dangerous. ainsley: that one little girl was shot on the sidewalk she was at her grandmother's house. brian. brian: starting to get no, ma'a. three minutes after the hour. ask somebody giving advice to the president. should he get that invitation from a city to help out. the acting dhs secretary chad wolf. mr. secretary, dolls the federal government need to be invited into a situation like chicago? >> well, thanks for having me on this morning. absolutely. i would say yes. these cities and states need to ask for the federal help. the president has been very clear. the department of homeland security has been very clear as well as the department of justice. we are there to help. they need to ask for it. we can come in as we did here in d.c. about last month where we restored that law and order back to the city. stopped churches from being burned. we do have the ability to do. this we just need to be invited and have those state and local authorities ask for the federal government's help. ainsley: mr. secretary, if you read all the headlines or watch some of these channels, they act like president trump wants to strong arm the governors and he wants to come in and take over. all is he doing is offering help. can't we come together as a country? can't we say yes, we will take federal dollars and take your help, mr. trump, we will work together. we will clean up these cities. >> right. this is about law and order. and the president has been very clear. we are here to help them. i think any city that is having increases in violence is burning, is having the rioting and looting, it's by choice at this point. those local elected officials are making a choice to keep their cities very unsafe and dangerous. the president has been very clear we are here to support. we are here to provide resources and do that at their request. steve: mr. secretary people live in these cities seen so much gun violence have you got to figure people are thinking how much longer do i want to live here because in this particular locality suddenly there is a lot of gun violence. there is crime. and on top of everything else, the taxes are through the roof. here in new york city they quawnt find at least half a million people have left since mid march with covid and the looting and violence as well. have you got to figure that's happening all across the country. >> i think you do. the message we send to criminals or violent opportunists when we talk about defunding the police, this is also a contributing factor. a lot of theist metropolitan cities really pushing to defund the police, restrict their budgets, reduce the number of police officers and law enforcement officers that are on the streets, and i think it's having a very dangerous effect. i think you are seeing that in a number of these cities. brian: president says listen 10 years in jail. it didn't stop them over the weekend. you saw what happened in baltimore and rochester. arrest of one of the guys who tried to take down andrew jackson turns out he has antifa links. where does this investigation go? and do you have an overall map that plots and tells you where all these monuments are so you know how and where to guard them? >> absolutely. so, we are working with the department of justice as well as the department of interior when we talk about statues and monuments. the department of homeland security also protects about 9,000 federal facilities across the country. what we saw in portland over the weekend is also very, very disturbing. we had about 700, to 750 individuals targeting and assaulting law enforcement there in porltd. dhs along with the u.s. marshal service was able to repel them and we made a number of arrests there as well. yes. it's very, very disturbing. we will continue to protect federal facilities. federal monuments. federal statues but, again, we need that help and assistance from the state and local officials. if they are not going to protect their cities, the president has been very clear we will and we will step in. ainsley: chad, we had lawrence jones on earlier in the chop zone. little girl 8 years old died. dad says if you say you care about black lives why are you taking one of your own? what's reaction reaction to that how far we have come and distracted from the initial protest? >> yeah my perspective this is no longer about peaceful protesting. this is about angry, violent criminal mobs taking over certain cities. again, i go back to porltd where you have over five weeks every night of violent clashing and protesting targeting law enforcement officials and very disturbing. it's a lack of political leadership in that city. and, again, if you want to know what defund the police looks like, porltd is a great example voted to take $50 million from the porltd police department's budget. 86 different positions and the violence is going to continue and continue there until the political leadership steps in and restores law and order and the federal government is there to support them. steve: mr. secretary, this is happening at the same time there is this global pandemic of covid-19 covid sweeping the world. i saw out of los angeles, i believe, a judge has ordered ice to free the migrant children who are being held at detention centers. >> concern though is that their parents are still being held. can you give us an update on that situation? >> sure. well, we have a number of court cases that we are dealing with at the moment regarding our ice detention facilities and how we keep individuals in detention while at the same time making sure that they are safe from covid. so we have reduced the number of people in our facilities down to about 70 to 57%. trying to do that social distancing and separation. at the end of the day, these are individuals that have no legal right to be here in the country. we have picked them up. they are here illegally and we are going through a process to return them back to their country of origin. doing that as safe as possible and every individual that we return we repatriate back we give them a covid test and do everything in our power to make sure they are safe to be transported back. we will continue to do that. but, at the end of the day, we are not as some courts have asked us to do and some activists have asked us to do is let everyone out of ice detention facilities that's 25,000 folks. we're not going to do a jail break. that's not what we do. we will continue to keep individuals again that have no right to be here many are criminals. and make sure they get deported. brian: mr. secretary, thanks so much for joining us today. you have a full plate. >> thank you. brian: was a time when all we talked about was immigration with the secretary. now so much more. carley shimkus is upstairs poised to give us the rest of the news. carley: the man charged with driving his car into protesters in seattle killing one of them is due in court today. a judge will determine if he should be released on bail. he was arrested on saturday after police said he sped into a crowd freeway. summer was one of two people hit. she died on sunday. the other person remains in serious condition. ghislaine maxwell. expected to be extradited to new york this week. currently held without bail in new hampshire after hesitate arrest last week. maxwell charged with helping epstein to recruit goirls sexually abuse. she faces up to 35 years in prison. both prosecution and defense are requesting an arraignment hearing on friday. labor secretary eugene scalia says he is shocked and grateful president trump wants to include his late father supreme court justice anthony scalia in a garden of american heroes. >> i didn't see that one coming, mike. it was touching to hear. i hope it would mean a lot to the american people, too. we need heroes. we need to admire our forebearers. and recognize what is great and good in our past. carley: well said. the president said he would sign an executive order to build the garden during his speech at mount rushmore. race car driver kevin harvick going back-to-back in indianapolis. >> kevin harvick is going to seat checkered flag he wins again at the brok brickyard. meantime a scare on pit row. ryan blaney's crew member sent to the hospital after six cars collided at a pit stop. he was, thankfully, later released the pile up included corey lajoie's trump-2020 car. he didn't know he had a trump 2020 car there have you it, guys. >> glad he is okay. thanks, carley. former national security advisor susan rice ripping president trump over russian bounty reports. >> even when it comes to the blood of american service members, this president picks putin over our troops. ainsley: senator and army veteran tom cotton is here to react to that next. ...and new adventures. you hope the more you give the less they'll miss. but even if your teen was vaccinated against meningitis in the past... they may be missing vaccination for meningitis b. let's help protect them together. because missing menb vaccination could mean missing out on a whole lot more. ask your doctor if your teen is missing meningitis b vaccination. if there was a place your teen that kept you... vibrant outdoorsy mischevious restored zen sparkly cheeky...

this president picks putin over our troops. brian: that was the lay up that andrea mitchell threw to susan rice and she went to town with it. the administration's narrative surrounding russian bounce on american soldiers in afghanistan. here to react is senator tom cotton. since andrea mitchell didn't follow up. why don't you follow up and tell us is the president giving way on every turn to vladimir putin? >> hardly, brian, thanks for having me on. as the president's national security advisor says. defense said and intelligence community said this intelligence was not corroborated. it was not verified. it was not briefed to the president for that reason. but it's not surprising to me that season rice in an effort to be joe biden's vice president is distorting those facts. susan rice was the typhoid mary of the obama era foreign policy and joe biden secretary of state bob gates has said been wrong about every foreign policy decision of the last 40 years. those two would go together very well. president obama stood by as vladimir putin invaded ukraine when ukraine begged for defensive aid they sent blankets. president trump sent javelin anti-tank missiles. let's look at president obama's record on arms control. negotiated a terrible arms control treaty with russia that leaves us at risk of being outgunned by russia and china combined. president trump has been eliminating obsolete arms control treaties from the cold war. at every turn, president trump has been much tougher on russia than president obama ever was. brian: i mean, let's find out what happened here. the other thing i walk away with and you are the guy in the infantry is we have to have a presence in afghanistan. if we pull out, we are turning that country over to russia. and eventually to china and to iran. please tell me how that is in our interest after 19 years of sacrifice. we have to make sure that government takes root and this deal with the 258 ban is a train wreck. but, i don't know how you feel about that. >> well, it's clear that president trump wants to put an end to the war in afghanistan. and i think that's what most americans want. but what president trump doesn't want is for afghanistan to turn into what iraq and syria became after president obama withdrew from there in 2011. a safe haven for isis. not only take over territory and terrorize the local people but to use it to launch attacks against the united states and our allies and our citizens around the world. so that's what president trump is trying to do. make sure that we can bring an end to the war in afghanistan without seeing afghanistan become that terrorist haven that iraq and syria became for isis. brian: also remember it was susan rice administration and her role as an advisor. said let's take out the missile shield from europe for no reason. and vladimir putin said oh good this administration is weak. let's take advantage. had that great advice, too. to go into libya without a plan and blow up moamma muammar qadd. they can't wait for her to get the number two nod. let's talk about china. >> real serious situation there and to the navy's credit. they are not backing away from the south china sea. two aircraft carriers are there streaming in there i know the chinese are not happy about it. what's their mission. >> well, china wants to put a stranglehold on the south china sea one of the world's most vital sea leans. most of our commerce and trade passes through the south china sea. president obama and joe biden left the militarize islands south china sea dramatically changed the balance of power there they are four conducting military exercises in the south china sea. so to the navy's credit, to the president wants credit. we now have two aircraft carrier groups in the south china sea conducting our own exercises. signaling to china and all of our allies in the region that the united states won't stand identically bidly by while triee our commerce or jobs. brian: watching hong kong being transformed into a true communist province. is there anything we can do for the people who sacrificed so much are over the last two years. >> what's happening in hong kong is a tragedy. it's an affront to the civilized world. it shows that china cannot be trusted to keep its word on any commitment it's made in its past. i commend boris johnson and great britain for allowing it 3 million hong kongers to come to the united kingdom since it used to have sovereignty to hong kong. i think we should put hong kongers at risk of persecution because of political beliefs or religious beliefs for the front of the line for our refugee program as well. brian: let's do it. make that call to the white house. look out for tijuana. even though capable of defending themselves not against china. if they're able to pull off hong kong they are going right for tijuana. final thought? >> that's exactly right. that's one of the reasons why we have those aircraft terrier groups in the south china sea. essentially invaded india and killed indian soldiers no. country is safe from chinese aggression. want all those countries want a close relationship with the united states they ought to have one. brian: shutting off china apps tiktok right away. maybe that will be more potent than a military threat to the government. senator tom cotton thank you very much. have a great week. >> thank you, brian. brian: president trump sending a warning to parents about public schools. >> our children are taught in school to hate their own country. brian: rachel campos-duffy mother of nine wasn't until she began home schooling her kids that she realized how bad it actually was. she is on deck. ♪ given my unique lifestyle, that'd be perfect! let me grab a pen and some paper. know what?

>> it's so important. i have an article in the federalist about it. i think the first thing you need to realize is that you have more influence over your children than people they don't know. if you are not talking to your kids about american history. about socialism, guess what? somebody else is and it's probably not what you want your kids to learn. so make sure that you are directly talking to your kids every opportunity you have. the other thing is you have to start really young. baby board books, believe it or not and moms and dads of babies know. this baby board book books have ideologically marxist messages in them. start young. not just the college professor you have to worry about when your kid goes off to college. it's now while we parents were sleeping. while the g.o.p. was worried about tax cuts, marxist, radical leftist have absolutely taken over our education system and that's something parents really have to be aware of so that they are providing that information. i also tell parents all the time make sure you are telling your child over and over again that they are not a victim. tell them you your american dream story. every american family has one. tell and it retell. one of the tricks of the left is to tell you that our country that the american dream is dead. that it's rigged against us. and if you believe that then you need them and so it's a trick of the left to do that. and another thing i think you need to know about or need to do is to realize that showing it, rather than telling it when it comes to patriotism and loving our country matters almost more. our kids are picking up on our gestures. how do you salute the flag? does dad take his hat off when he hears the national anthem? do you thank veterans? do you lay wreaths on the graves of our american heros? make sure that you are understanding that your child is watching everything that you do and those gestures matter. ainsley: that's great advice. thank you, rachel. >> thank you, ainsley. ainsley: i don't know how do you it. you are a hero. nine kids. >> ainsley, i can i just say one last thing? ainsley: of course. >> it's not just the curriculum that's bad. radicals have taken over our teachers, colleges and school boards. if we don't do something as conservatives as people who love this country we are going to lose this country. this is the most important thing i think that's on the american agenda right now is taking back our schools from radical leftists. ainsley: don't be afraid to be bold and stand up against things you don't believe in. >> now is the time to be bold. rachel: thank you so much, rachel. good to see you. you can watch her fox nation special it's called moms. it's excellent on fox nation get your first month for 99 cents. 33 minutes after the top of the hour. joe biden says he will transform our nation if he becomes president. how will he do it?

over the weekend you have got columbus and then frederick douglass. >> well, look, i think the president in his amazing speech at mount rushmore, which i think may have been the most important speech since ronald reagan at rest minister in '92. lay it out in a way that would make the "new york times" and the "new york post" and the major media uncomfortable. liberalism has been transformed into anti-americanism. you are dealing with mobs. you have a 7-year-old killed in chicago, an 8-year-old killed in atlanta these are not killed by policemen. they are killed by predators and people talking about reducing the number of police which is going to increase the number ever murders. no one has a right to tear down any statue. you have a right to petition the government and if you are successful, the government can move the statue. the government can destroy the statue but no mob has the right to select who they want to destroy and at some point, we're going to have to have the kind of intervention where people going to start getting locked up in large numbers and sent away for a very long time. in the late 1960s, when we had 2500 ultimately broken because we in fact locked people up. and these were bad people. people destroying these statues are bad people. people killing these young girls are bad people. and trump had the guts to say it when he was speaking saturday night in south dakota. brian: by the way, pretty swift the rejection of that speech bad and divisive from the "washington times" and "new york post." prompted the "wall street journal" to say basically angelo dundee to sugar ray leonard you are blowing it basically by the way you are campaigning and governing of late. they came out and said it -- just what you said about the speech but the bias was shown in the review of it. the "new york times," his speech exploits race to stoke fear in whites. the front page of the "times" also says as the virus rages his poll numbers slip. he wants to talk about a carnage reduction, bringing back his speech at his inaugural. but joe biden had interesting take on it. he said we are going to beat donald trump and when we do we won't just rebuild this nation. we will transform it. do you know what he means by that? >> sure, i think if you look at the 97-second fourth of july message from biden which the most anti-american message any presidential candidate has ever given. i went back and looked at obama for 8 years. obama sownsded more like trump than he sounded like biden. biden's 97 seconds is filled with hatred for america and disgust with america. and i think beden now basically accepted the entire anti-american left vision. and what he means by that is going to take over the country. close downtown right of free speech. they will take care of the teacher's union rather than students. they are going to do anything they have to do to make sure that they never lose again. and then pelosi has already given you a $3 trillion blueprint which biden has already said he would sign which includes, for example, $1,200 checks to stimulate illegal immigration. so every illegal immigrant would automatically get a $1,200 check. do you think that's a good idea? you have a team over there with biden, pelosi and schumer, they will be happy to transform america. ainsley: so i want to talk to you about fox nation and i know you have a new show on there, it's called crisis 2020. tell us about it. i think we have a clip of it. let's watch it and get your reaction on the back end. >> americans have watched left wing radicals burn down buildings, loot businesses. destroy private property. >> donald trump has turned this country in a battle field driven by old resentments and fresh fears. [screaming] ♪ ainsley: i know the show is about some of the big challenges that our country faces. what are some of those, newt? >> look, i think we have challenges from everything from crime where the democrats favor criminals over the police. the schools where the democrats favors the teacher's union over children learning to getting our economy growing again to dealing with china where the democrats have consistently kowtowed to beijing and where trump has shown the courage to stand up to the chinese dictatorship. i think you can go through item after item as your last guest was saying and i do admire she is raising nine children which is amazing. her point was the schools are now riven about anti- -- i think these kind of challenges are very real. i also think you have a challenge of making sure that we help the poorest americans. when you look at the murder rate in chicago, when you look at the rising murder rate in new york, part of it, not all of it, but part of it is that these are neighborhoods of despair and we ought to have a much more bold and dramatic approach people break out and be able to pursue happiness, earn a decent living and have a better future for their children. steve: well, if people are watching and would like to see your fox nation special, crisis 2020, just download fox nation to watch it, sign up today and get your first month for 99 cents.

report on a positive note. >> wrapped in red, white and blue blankies. >> to have three babies. three times the love. steve: three times the college tuition. ainsley: so true. from a man such a dad thing. brian: don't need three men to do the weather. adam klotz just one man. adam: hey there, good morning, guys. talking about the weather. talking about the forecast. that's what we saw over the holiday weekend and that's what we are going to see lingering here into this week of july. some cases more heat than some of these folks are typically used to. 95 in chicago. a july average temperature there 82 degrees. that's real heat piling up in the middle of the country. that going to fuel some of these pop-up afternoon thunderstorms we see in the summertime. worst of this across the stationary front that we have seen draped over the northern plains here for the last several weeks, that's going -- or the last week anyway that's going to continue. a spot from eastern montana stretching through the dakotas, through minnesota and wisconsin, guys, we can be talking about big thunderstorms strong hail and winds. area we are will be paying attention to as we head throughout the thanks, adam. ainsley: white house chief of staff mark meadows going to join us live. first interview since he took that job. new york enters phase 3. indoor dining not allow. one restaurant owner who has indoor dining says it's a big mistake and he joins us next. brian: absolutely. ainsley: brian is in agreement. well, there is, and always has been. walgreens. everyone's place, for healthy and safe. carley: three owners of the washington redskins report thedly looking to sale their in the team. not happy with daniel schneider. this comes as the team is discussing changing its name amid

will consider rebranding. it's dropped cartoon mascot chief wahoo last season. guys? steve: all right. thank you very much, carley. well, joe biden last night sent out a tweet he says we are going to beat donald trump and when we do so we won't just rebuild this nation, we will transform it. we don't know exactly what he's talking about right there, brian, but we do know it will transform the race when he finally names the person, presumably a woman to be his vice presidential running mate. brian: because needs somebody to campaign at some point and he doesn't seem to into it. would have to assume a lot of power. as joe biden said himself they have to be ready to take over the job on day one. susan rice wants it bad. how do we know? i had the audio up when she was being interviewed over the weekend. listen. >> needs to make the division as to who he thinks will be his best running mate. i will do my utmost, drawing on my experiences years in government, years of making the bureaucracy work. i have worked on multiple campaigns, presidential campaigns. i have been on the campaign trail as a surrogate and i'm going to do everything i can to help get joe biden elengthed and to help him succeed as president, whether i'm his running mate or i'm a door knocker, i don't mind. i just want to get joe biden elected and see the democrats control the senate and retain the house. brian: so we will see. i mean, i think the republicans would rejoice to have that opportunity because she has a lot of controversial decisions including the decision not to be candid when it came to the tapes sparring the -- spurring the unrest of benghazi that cost americans their lives including her great advice to go into libya without a plan the day after qaddafi was dead. i think they would welcome this opportunity. ainsley: would they be able to transform? both of them have been in washington for so long. that's what the critics are saying. joe biden and even susan rice have been there for decades. he has been there more than 40 years why didn't he when he had an opportunity to transform this country why didn't did he do it then unite and heal our country? she has tons of experience though. she was the ambassadors of the u.n. under obama. she was national security advisor. she is also national security council. served on that council and state department under bill clinton. very experienced is that more of what we already had in washington before when president trump came along and said i want to drain the swamp? people at home can make their own decisions, when he says transform other critics say does that mean transform more in the direction of aoc? is that what the voter wants and majority of our country wants? excited to hear who he is going to pick as his vice president. lawrence jones was on earlier. he likes keisha lance bottoms the mayor of atlanta. she said some pretty powerful things over the weekend saying look if black lives matter matter why are you killing your own. she says enough is enough. steve: susan rice going back to her biography, she also apparently was in that oval office's meeting according to sally yates' notes where joe biden talked about the logan act regarding michael flynn, if she is the nominee. brian: game on. steve: going to be plenty to talk about. actually, somebody who knows all about that is former congressman from north carolina now the white house chief of staff mark meadows, he is going to join us for his first interview since taking the big job in a couple of minutes. so put down the remote, we will be right

america on the 4th of july weekend dozen s killed in shootings in several major cities ainsley: many of the victims unfortunately are children. the youngest just seven and eight years old. steve: terrible story. todd piro joins us as president trump says if they need help from the feds he's ready to send them in. todd: that's what he's saying steve, ainsley and brian good morning to all three of you. a weekend of celebration turning into a weekend of sadness. in chicago 77 people were shot, 14 killed including a 14- year-old boy and a seven-year-old girl shot in the head while standing on the sidewalk during a 4th of july celebration. her community outraged. >> it hurts that somebody could rob somebody like that and don't think twice about it, rob them of their life. all i can do is just pray to god todd: now to new york city where at least 42 people were shot, nine killed and atlanta where an eight-year-old is shot and killed after cops say the girl's mother tried to drive through illegally placed barricades near where protesters burned down a wendy's in response to the killing of rayshard brooks. take a listen. >> they're saying that lives matter. todd: just heartbreaking all part of a violent weekend in our nations cities including in baltimore, philadelphia, cleveland among others. in response to the president tweeting in part, federal government ready, willing and able to help if asked. the president later tweeting that democrats want to defund and abolish police. steve, ainsley, brian back to you. brian: thanks, todd let's bring in the chief of staff of the white house, mark meadows with us first enter view since he took the job. mark thanks so much for joining us we appreciate it. >> good to be with you brian thanks. brian: first let's talk about the violence in the cities that captured the president's attention but this something that came up you wrote a letter to these cities saying trying to get crime under control or i'll assert myself into that and mayor lightfoot came out and says i have a message for the common theme of the president's rant, the thing we need to remember is we're all tough women we aren't going to take any stuff from anybody. is that the type of reaction you thought a mayor under fire who can't control their city should have? >> well it's certainly not the response and it's certainly we see the results this morning from the weekend of violence. really, the president is not only standing ready but he has been ready. about eight days ago he instructed a number of federal support teams to make sure that across the country that they stand ready not just in those cities but in seattle, in portland, st. louis, other areas where literally we've got doj and federal protective services there standing ready so it's time that we make sure that our cities are safe, and if the local police need help we'll stand ready and be there for them and the president 's been very clear about that. brian: but mark you have to be invited right? >> well certainly there's sometimes when you have to be invited but other than that this president is going to take action and make sure that all life is protected and when we look at the constitution, we have a constitutional duty to make sure that those cities are safe and far too often we see liberal mayors and liberal leaders of these cities looking the other way while they want to throw a whole lot of insults towards washington d.c. when we see a meltdown in their own cities. ainsley: so you have some people around the country like governor of new jersey who steve and i were talking earlier steve you said the numbers in new jersey are down when it comes to covid? steve: yeah. ainsley: so the governor there is saying everyone no matter where you go you have to wear a mask. listen to what he said. >> we're only as strong as our weakest link right now. as you mentioned in the outset of the program, i said we want through hell. we cannot afford to go through hell again. we need a national strategy i think right now and masking has to be at the core of that. ainsley: no one wants to go through that again. is that necessary? do you think that should be a state-to-state issue or a federal mandate you have to wear a mask no matter where you go. >> well certainly a state-to-state issue. as we look across the country the covid cases are rising but testing is rising exponentially. we've now tested almost 10% of our country and yet when we look at masks and the wearing of mask s that's done on a location basis when you can't have social distancing, but certainly a national mandate is not in order we're allowing our governors and local mayors to weigh in on that steve: and in fact the president of the united states himself, mark, weighed in on masks last week and he told one of the correspondents for fox business that he was fine with wearing a mask if he was in tight quarters, going forward. could be in tight quarters toward the end of this week because we understand the campaign is going to head north to portsmouth, new hampshire where apparently there is going to be a rally, it's going to be outdoor, hand sanitizers everybody gets a mask and are encouraged to wear a mask, which is different than the tulsa event which we're looking at right there. why are you, why do you think the campaign is now saying hey, we think it's in your best interest to wear a mask at this outdoor rally? >> well obviously, we're looking forward to being in the granite state and back with the folks up in new hampshire and as we look at that, it's more a factor of precaution and as we look at that, we're a nation of freedoms and certainly we want to make sure that people are free to assemble and yet what we've seen is far too often we've said we're just going to shut everything down. i'm not in favor of that, the president is not in favor of that so as we start to open up, if masks are appropriate and the president mentioned that he's willing to wear a mask if appropriate in tight quarters, i know a number of us had done the same but it's all trying to make sure that we deal with this virus and make sure that the american people know that help is on the way. i want to stress a couple of things. when we had testing problems this president acted. when we had problems with ventilators this president acted when we had problems with ppe, this president acted and there is good news on the way, whether it's therapeutics or a vaccine, we help is on the way, we will be able to make sure that we deliver those by the end of the year. brian: mark, go ahead. steve: can i just ask a follow-up, thank you, brian. mark, you said that the new hampshire events are out of an abundance of caution, and taking more precautions. you know, hindsight is always 20 /20. should they have taken more precautions with the tulsa event >> listen we have not seen major out breaks with the tulsa event. when we looked at that, there were a few that actually had contracted the coronavirus but we want to make sure that other people feel safe and so in doing so, we allowed that freedom to take place and certainly want to encourage that going forward. brian: mark the president said 99% of these cases the covid- positive cases are harmless. where did he get that stat from? is that a generalization? >> i don't even know it's a generalization. when you start to look at the stats and the numbers we have, the amount of testing, the vast majority of people are safe from this. when you look at the deaths that we have if you're over 80 years of age or if you have three what they call co morbidities, diabetes, hypertension, heart issues, then you need to be very very careful. outside of that the risks are extremely low and the president is right with that and the facts and statistics back us up there. ainsley: so mr. meadows what do you know about the ppe because there are a lot of people that are freelancers or out of work and they're getting that money from unemployment and they are also i know the president was giving $600 a month to those individuals. how long will this be extended? will it be extended what's the next phase for those folks who are worried about whether or not they go back to work and can't afford to pay their bills? >> well the president was working over the weekend to extend that ppe program. i want to give a shout out to secretary mnuchin. i challenged him early on when this whole program about helping businesses and making sure that they could stay afloat happened. i said secretary, there's no way that you'll be able to get this implemented in a short period of time. not only did he prove me wrong but within seven days it was up and running. its been modified over and over again. he continues to be all hands-on deck, and so we're going to provide help for the american business owner for the hard working american men and women to make sure that this temporary and i want to stress this temporary downturn in the economy does not affect them personally. a lot of very difficult circumstances out there, we're well aware. those are getting communicated to the president each and every day, and he stands ready to act. steve: mr. meadows, we tried to get you on the show your first day as the new chief of staff, but you know, you're busy. what has been, i would imagine its been kind of an eye opener because when you were at the other end of pennsylvania avenue and you see how the white house operates you probably didn't realize what all the chief of staff does and now you realize you have a big place that is always full 24/7. >> well it is full 24/7 but my job pales in comparison to the president of the united states. the interesting thing is this president will do more in the next four weeks than joe biden and his team did in the last 40 years so you just need to stay tuned because starting this week, you'll see executive orders, you'll see business that actually goes forward from the oval office when congress doesn't act, this president -- steve: what kind of executive order, mark? give us a hint. >> i'll give you a couple of hints, all right? so a sneak preview here. we're going to be looking at how we make sure that china is addressed. how we bring manufacturing back from overseas to make sure the american worker is supported we're also going to look at a number of issues as it relates to immigration. we're going to look at a number of issues as it relates to prescription drug prices and we're going to get them done when congress couldn't get them done. brian: we'll see what happens. is the message from the president from here on in being that the cases are growing and it's the state's opportunity to get it under control in texas , arizona and florida? we have to live with it. we have to live with the virus and we have to go on and is that a change of tactic? instead of crush the curve, now the curve is going up but you're not going to shutdown the economy again. is that the theme? >> well we're not going to shut the economy down again. i think the theme is this is that we have to adjust our personal lifestyle in a temporary basis because help is on the way. i mentioned earlier about those vaccines. literally tens of billions of dollars, this president authorized tens of billions of dollars to make sure that we have a vaccine. not a month early, not six months early but a year earlier than most would say that it's even possible. he's willing to invest to make sure that whatever adjustment we have to make in our lifestyle is temporary and we got to get the schools open this fall. we're coming up with plans to do just that. ainsley: mr. meadows being in this job we're alphas it nateed with politics and that's a big part of your life. i'm from south carolina, you're a carolina guy too from north carolina and you left congress to go and serve the president and his administration. that left your seat open. i know that you endorsed linda bennett and she was beat by madison hawthorn, we've had him on the show he's 24 years old a real estate investor in a car accident a while back and is now in a wheelchair and marry and he's ready for the job and he's running against mo davis whose a democrat and they are going to have a big fight in november it's a swing state north carolina shifted over the last few decades i'd say. what do you expect to happen? >> well madison will be a great member of congress. i know madison actually nominated him today academy before that tragic event. obviously he'll be a great member of congress. mo davis needs to understand that madison is going to bring it. the people of western north carolina have rallied behind him and will continue to do so and in november we will keep that seat but not only that seat, we will pick up additional seats because it's time that congress starts getting things donald helping this president instead of being an obstructionist. brian: mark there's no doubt about it china is front and center every day and now you have two aircraft carriers heading into the south china sea we know india has banned all chinese apps because they killed 18 of the indian military members. what's those aircraft carriers mission and what's our mission there? >> well our mission is to make sure that the world knows that we still have the preeminent fighting force on the face of the globe. this president has invested more in our military, more in not only the hardware but the men and women who serve so s acrifically each and every day. he continues to do so but the message is clear. we're not going to stand by and let china or anyone else take the reigns in terms of being the most powerful dominant force whether it's in that region or over here, and the message is clear. our military might stand strong and will continue to stand strong whether it's in relationship to a conflict between india and china or anywhere else. steve: mark meadows the chief of staff for the white house, mark thank you very much for joining us from the north lawn. in the last 15 minutes you've probably have about 75 text messages, things you've got to do immediately. no doubt. steve: thank you, sir. all right meanwhile, shootings here in new york city up more than 200% after the new york city police department ended its plain clothed unit. former top cop has turned the city into a sespool and bernie is on deck. i wish i could shake your hand. granted. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ did you know prilosec otc can stobefore it begins?urn heartburn happens when stomach acid refluxes into the esophagus. prilosec otc uses a unique delayed-release formula that helps it pass through the tough stomach acid. it then works to turn down acid production, blocking heartburn at the source. with just one pill a day, you get 24-hour heartburn protection. prilosec otc. one pill a day, 24 hours, zero heartburn. brian: crime surging in new york city with shootings up 205% after the nypd disbanned the anti-crime unit abdomen de funded too and now our independence day weekend dozens more people were shot and here to react on the latest violence former nypd commissioner himself bernie kerik. bernie, you shouldn't be surprised by this but it doesn't stop you from being horrified. >> no, honestly, by about i predicted this be one of the worst days probably in the last few decades, the worst weekend. we had 41 shot, six dead in new york. but there's something else going on in new york city. you know if you look at twitter, the burrough commander from manhattan south calling out the district attorney, "where are you"? the commander of manhattan north , spanish harlem, washington heights calling out the politicians "where are you"" what are you doing, why aren't you there" and this is the same thing going on all over the country in cities led by democrats. you had 76 people shot in chicago, 14 dead. 28 shot in atlanta, four dead. 20 shot in cleveland, three dead every one of these cities are led by democrats. they are villainizing the police , victimizing the thug s, and this is what happens when you do that. brian: i know what happens is they say i'm not going in there. i'm not going to put myself online and all of a sudden you're utilizing your sick days or vacation days the so-called "blue flu" and it could have been worse. there was a marked nypd vehicle shot outside a bronx station house late saturday narrowly missing two cops so it was almost an execution that took place and when you say for these politicians where are you, they want them at the crime scene. hey, mr. attorney general i want you to see the horror you're presiding over and what you've done with your policies. >> well these are the same politicians brian calling for the defunding of police and anybody that lives back in the 80s and 90s up until guiliani and i came into office, and cleaned up new york, anybody that was there realizes that you need more police, more enforcement, aggressive policing, or you're going to have this and who suffers? people in the black community that's where these numbers are speaking, they're rising that's where people are getting killed. you want to defund the police you're going to see 10 times moreover the next several months brian: absolutely in portland they've had 38 straight days of violence and unrest. they are the closest to dis banding their police. now let me ask something commissioner. you have to take orders from a mayor but at what point if you're police commissioner do you say "i quit" and it's because of him or her? >> well i've got to be honest brian i couldn't work for debla sio, and i've said this two years ago but the bottom line is this morning when i saw the tweets from commanders these are two star chiefs in the nypd that are basically calling out the politicians, saying do your job, there's too much violence, this is because of you. this goes to the burrough president, this goes to the city council president. it's to the mayor it's to the district attorneys. the d. a. in new york, anatomy atlanta, they target cops and not the thugs. they aren't out there doing their job. brian: the organized way in which they're doing it from city -to-city. i'm wondering whose plan is this this doesn't seem organic. >> no, do you know what brian? it's not organic. these are radical left wing marx ist politicians that honestly i've said this if bill deblasio was not the mayor he'd be leading the charge in these protests in this sort of revolution if you will. that's the way these people think. unfortunately for us, he became the mayor and what does he do? he leads from the front. he's donald trump minished the authority of the police, taken their tools away, he's basically destroyed 30 years of progress in new york city. he's destroyed it. brian: if the governor likes to disassociate himself with anything controversial, not my thing with the nursing homes i don't know why defunding the police makes us safer. do something about it. he says he has absolute authority and every politician is in office is a democrat why doesn't he crack down on the mayor who he says he despise s? >> because it's the party line. it's the democrat party line. it's the joe biden party line. don't go after these guys. nobody is going to go after it. the governor doesn't have the courage to go after deblasio he talks all that garbage. he doesn't have the courage. otherwise they be doing something in new york city and that goes for the rest of the cities around the country as well. brian: i always thought local politics kept moving further and further back but it's not the case any more. commissioner kerik, thanks so much. straight ahead, jeffrey epstein 's long time associate set to be extradited to new hampshire this week. our next guest is a former

i guess we'll see. steve? steve: fingers crossed jeff flock we thank you very much. ainsley? ainsley: thanks steve. well this week, jeffrey epstein 's former girlfriend and long time associate blayne max well expected to be extradited to new york and could face up to 35 years behind bars, so what can we expect to happen with the case once she's moved to new york? former federal prosecutor frinci e hages is national coordinator for child exploitation, hey, francie. >> good morning, ainsley. ainsley: good morning, what do you make of this , what's going to happen this week? >> ainsley this is going to be a really interesting week in this case, you know, guillen max well is the last person left in the jeffrey epstein co- conspiracy that we know about what's going to happen is they will come into court and have a band hearing scheduled and we'll hear a little bit about the facts of the case at the bond hearing but her attorneys are fighting hard to get her out on bond and now they're preparing basically a report for the judge, and that report is going to tell the judge all the reasons why she can be trusted to be out on bond, why she's not a flight risk, how much money she has that can secure a high bond, that she'll deliver her passports to the court and generally try to assure the court that she's not a risk of flight or a danger to the community and the u.s. attorney' office will be arguing just the opposite. ainsley: there's so many people that have been suspected to be involved in this ring. will she spill the beans to save herself? >> ainsley, i really do think so. she's looking at one charge, the 2423 a charge, and a 10 year mandatory minimum and a life maximum. shows going to want to do everything she can to get out from under that because federal sentencing unlike most of the states is truth incent ensembling. they has to do every day of that minimum 10 years and she's grown up a pampered spoiled woman. there's no way she could even consider going to jail for that length of time so i do think she'll cooperate and do it soon. ainsley: we've all been watching stuff and there's that special on i think it's netflix about this that we've all watched. did you watch it? >> i have seen it yes. ainsley: what do you think of it do you think she's guilty? i hate to speculate because you're innocent until proven guilty. you are, these are all allegations but if i had to make a guess as a prosecutor what's going to happen, i think she'll plead guilty, the u.s. attorney's office has lots of evidence against her, there are at least three victims who alltel similar stories and there's speculation in the media that guillen maxwell actually has video of the sauls that have taken place over the years and if that's true she'll be providing that to the u.s. attorney' office so i think she'll plead guilty because they have all of the evidence of they need against her. ainsley: francie thank you so much. i'm sure we'll have you back to talk about it. >> thanks ainsley. ainsley: all right, mike rowe is taking dirty jobs on the road bringing his show back for a new special he joins us live with a preview and some advice for american workers that's next i am totally blind. and non-24 can make me show up too early... or too late. or make me feel like i'm not really "there." talk to your doctor, and call 844-234-2424. brian: president trump signing an extension for the small business loan program, helping small business stay afloat during the pandemic. ainsley: our next guest has spent his entire career focusing on the importance of the american worker. steve: our old buddy tv host mike rowe is the author of the " the way i heard it" and he joins us from his home office hello, michael. >> hunkered in the bunker, hey guys. steve: we had guy fieti on about a month ago and he was talking about how so many of the people featured on his tv show through the years, out of work because all of the restaurants were closed during the nationwide shutdown. i'm sure for you, you're about at the same place because your show "dirty jobs" for years highlighted the essential work that needs to be donald the people who do it and those are the ones who are hurting the most right now. >> well, yes and no. in some ways, it's opposite. guy's world is the restaurant world and those guys truly took it in the neck. in my world, we were celebrating people who were mostly out of sight and out of mind. you know, laboring in the sewers or up high on a bridge or wherever, but part of what we learned about looking back into the compendium of dirty jobs is what we'll be doing to am is so many of them are thriving. so many of them have been working 70, 80 hours a week, and it really does open up an interesting conversation about what is essential and what is not, and the pitfalls of using that word right now. the truth is for me dirty jobs was always a rumination on essential work and essential workers, so going back to check in with them now and looking back at some of our favorite episodes seemed like a logical thing to do but it was instructed what we learned in the process. brian: mike this is a broad question but the stat is 140,000 businesses listed on yelp remain closed due to the coronavirus. i mean hopefully some of that went back in the last two weeks but basically what's it. what do you do with somebody who sees their self-esteem wrapped up in their occupation and they don't know if their job will be back when the economy comes back >> yeah, tricky, but the first thing you don't do is you don't tell them they're non-essential. that is insane. you know, it's funny how the headlines catch up with the language sometimes and we've talked about this before, but yeah, it's easy when times are flush to look at the difference between an essential and non-essential worker but when you take 40 million people out of the workforce and deem them non-essential in the process, well the impact on the economy is obviously devastating so the big headline for me on a personal level was there is no such thing as non-essential work and at the same time, i run a show called "dirty jobs" that looks specifically at jobbers who are the very definition of essential work, so it's a strange time for me to be out there waving that particular flag but we do it in a big way because i thought the country would appreciate a road trip and a chance to look back at jobs that are still right now in demand in spite of everything that's happening to our country. ainsley: mike, i think if anything, it's the silver lining one of the silver lines is that we all appreciate all of those workers doing the dirty jobs. i was walking through the grocery store and i thought how did all of this stuff get on these shelves? it's because of those truck drivers, it's the people that work in the middle of the night and like you said out of sight out of mind and the people who repair our roads and all that stuff our trash collection and we realized how important it is more than ever. how do you regain self-esteem? kind of to piggyback on what brian was saying but how do we get back into the jobs market and make them feel like they are so special. what can we do to remind them we're are all americans, we appreciate what they do. >> well there's a long list of stuff but you just said the beginning thing is appreciation and i know that's squishy and hard to quantify, but the best thing that "dirty jobs" did, the biggest positive unintended consequence of that show was challenging people to imagine a world without the ups driver, without the infrastructure folks, without whose ever responsible for letting this internet connection work, so we can talk about this very thing. fostering that level of appreciation is job one because if you don't have that, you're simply pushing the rock up the hill. also the best thing that happened to me is the foundation that evolved out of "dirty jobs ." we're giving away $1 million this month to coinside with the re-launch of "dirty jobs" to reward and help people who want to learn a skill actually in demand. not an aspirational skill, not a wishful fillment but more welder s, more pipefitters, mechanics, morrhuating and air conditioning guys and gals and more electricians. those jobs are wide open and if you want to talk about job security in the coming days, weeks, month, and years that's the area. ainsley: what kind of money do they make, mike? >> it's tough to say but we've helped over 1,000 people through my foundation and probably 400 of them are welders. probably i don't know, 30% of them are making north of six figures. ainsley: wow. >> it's a path to prosperity that people forget all of the time and if you look at the number of small businesses that you were just referring to earlier and identify the ones that started with the mastery of the skill, your head would explode. there's so many. so for us to look down in any way, on the business or the pathway that leads to skilled labor, it's just self- defeating and crazy and look dirty jobs was never meant to be a palemic, and it's not but it's just one of the many lessons baked into that hot mess of a show and why it's so much fun to look back at what happened, to me, and to my crew and to the people we featured on that show over the years. steve: and to your earlier point that's why my dad said you need a skill and in high school i learned how to ark weld and gas weld and if anybody is looking, you need somebody over in bergen county give me a call. i am not licensed just kidding, so beautifully said, people now want to see this show. it premiers tomorrow at 9:00 i believe on the discovery channel ladies and gentlemen, he got into an rv and he went back to visit some of his buddies from " dirty jobs." here is the road trip. >> we're going to check in with some of our favorite dirty job bers. >> my family worked hard and i'm here to carry my burden of work. >> how do you not love this guy >> do you remember the moment we looked across and that storm was coming in and there was lightning all over the sky? steve: we loved "dirty jobs" when it was on and i know it was an homage to your grandfather but you had so many good stories , mike. how do you figure out, and you're in your rv there, how did you figure out which of the many lives that you had highlighted earlier, you were going to catch up to? >> i left it largely up to my crew. what i did was and by the way, this was shot just a couple of weeks ago. the network talked initially about doing a zoom show from this exact location and i was tempted, but it just, "dirty jobs" is not the show that should come from your office so i called barski, my old field producer and he got the original camera and audio guy and we got tested, got in an rv, and went out into the country and while we drove around just to take the temperature of the place, we started looking back at our favorite moments from that show. so what the viewer will see is that kind of footage, shot through the lens of today and what comes out is a four-part series that is part road trip, part reunion, and like i said, just a hot, dirty reminder of 300 unbelievable jobs that somehow the five of us survived. ainsley: so if you want to learn more about his foundation that evolved directly from his show " dirty jobs", the plug is it's mike rowe and mike rowe works foundation, and then -- mikerowworks.org, apply for scholarships, donate, whatever you want. we're not going anywhere. ainsley: mike can you help brian with his rv, because he recently was on one and -- brian: i had five minutes of driving training. ainsley: his son had to go out of the window to come and open the door. you nowhere you put your luggage underneath he left the door open and is driving down the highway. brian: right. >> yeah, well look brian, a man is not a man until he traps himself in his own rv. brian: yes. >> it's inevitable. brian: and a man is not a man unless his son will jump out the window for him. steve: check out the show tomorrow night at 9:00 p.m. eastern time over on discovery. mike thank you very much. ainsley: thank you, mike. >> any time guys be well. steve: he's on the road again. all right, meanwhile, 12 minutes before the top of the hour. a group of veterans sending a powerful message to our nation, during the pandemic. >> we will get through this. >> and renewed appreciation for freedom will take its place. >> more like you've never known steve: iraq war vet rabbi moffic smith is featured in that video, but right now we're featuring sandra smith. >> sandra: and steve, ainsley, brian good morning to you great to be back anchoring america's news room live from studio j in new york city, good morning, everyone we're expecting supreme court decisions at any time this morning, shannon bream and judge andrew napolitano standing by on that plus brand new reaction to deadly violence across the nation over the holiday weekend, kayleigh mcenany will be joining us live from the white house in moments and several states across the south are posting record new coronavirus cases a live update on the ground from atlanta coming up and dow futures pointing to a 400 point gain on the open, a big monday morning coming up join us top of the hour. could be signs that your digestive system isn't working at its best?

>> you know, when johnny came to me with this idea he said look we're getting a lot of veterans together. we really want to send a message of strength, of togetherness, to america as we're dealing with this coronavirus pandemic, and we wanted it to come from veterans. so i think that what he was trying to do and what we were trying to do was to let people know that through our experience of veterans to give a voice to people who have been through some rough times ourselves, when i was first talking about this with johnny we talked a little bit about both of our deployments. i talked about the fact that when i was first deployed to iraq i didn't have a shower for a month, i didn't have a hot meal for a month, i slept on the ground in iraq for about six months out of my deployment, so you know, we know rough times and there's a lot of americans that are really struggling with the coronavirus pandemic there's a lot of americans that need a more positive message and we figure what better way to give americans positive message than from veterans who served. steve: absolutely it puts it all into perspective. >> yes. steve: and while the message is we're going to get through this together, right now though, rob you know people are bummed out. it is a depressing time. >> yeah, you know, it's a very depressing time, and i think that with a lot of the soldiers that were in the video, soldiers go through a lot of things we go through, a lot of different issues, and i think that for me personally what i want to tell people going through a rough time right now is that mental toughness is good as physical toughness sometimes as well. like we had to do a lot of mental toughness and we had to be mentally tough to get through our deployment to get through all of the things we got through as soldiers and we want to encourage americans to do that as well but also, since the coronavirus pandemic has become so politicized we want to encourage people to come together and i'm pretty sure all of the veterans in the video have wildly diverse political beliefs but we all wanted to come together as americans to have the same message and i think that this is a time where we can come together as americans, to get through the pandemic. steve: that is a great message right there. all right, rob smith joining us today from tampa thank you very much. >> thank you so much. steve: all right we're going to step away for a couple of minutes and wrap things up right after this. d. what do you think?
