media platforms are not used to encourage riots. welcome to "fox & friends" on this sunday morning. a lot of things going on including desecration of statues including chop. welcome, everyone. till with be a packedded four hours. pete: we don't have details on the shooting in louisville. we'll get them to you as we get them this morning and bring them to you. griff, big news you look at lafayette square and rioters and people desecrating monuments, to hear charges being brought there, a welcome sign for people that feel law and order is lacking. griff: very much so. this is the center of attention as the president trying to take actions with a executive order. the task force created by attorney general barr but these should arrests should send some signal, americans are looking at coast to coast. they want a sense of balance when it comes to law and order. this offers that, jed. jedediah: that is exactly right. let's look to hope up what is going on in chop. we've been talking about that a lot. police obviously have been kept out of that area. it has been a huge issue but today those barriers are set to come down of the problem is that hundreds of protesters are remaining in the area. it has been shrunk down to three blocks but many of the protesters are refusing to leave. obviously the question on everyone's mind is what is going to happen here? will the protesters leave? will the police be allowed to function in the area? will there be a zone where people's first amendment rights are maintained but at the same time, there is a safe area that is preserved for people, their families their businesses? many of those people have been unable to operate safely out of fear if they need help or assistance from the police, the police chief made it very clear they have not been allowed entry to that area. pete: chop, we barely knew you. short of u.n. recognition of your own country. here is what the seattle mayor saying about the future of chop. there is ongoing negotiation. they say it will be removed today. we'll see. removal of chop allows access by police and keep art, community gardens inside of chop long term. provide social services in the protest zone. encourage those living inside the chop to leave. i don't mean, griff, to bust their chop but you might say, see t-shirts i started an autonomous zone and all i got was this lousy community garden. does this end with a fizzle? what does this represent? does it actually end today? griff: here is the problem. i'm not sure either. no one knows. however in the list you missed addressing the prize captured flag if you will that these protesters unlawfully took. that is that police precinct in the center of it. that is why house minority whip steve scalise, last night on justice with jeanine said this is not acceptable. listen. >> some of these mayors that allowed or encouraged lawlessness, flat-out lawlessness in their streets, watching some parts of their city in seattle being taken over. people randomly tearing down things and burning down cities with the mayor just in some cases disbanding the police station so they could be burned down. this has got to stop. if you look what president trump has been very vocal about re-establishing law and order. where the governors need help, he is sending in national guard to back them up to take their cities back and some of these mayors are letting it happen. griff: fine to take to the streets peacefully and demand the rest of the planet follow their ideology. however it is an entirely different thing when we allow, that is what scalise is talking about, that to be shoved down the throats of police precincts around the country. finally we're starting to see a little bit of a backlash. although. let me tell you, the demand for idealogical purity certainly incrossing on college campuses, jed. jedediah: yeah. i mean the interesting thing about chop, although it is localized in one area the whole country is watching. agitators are watching. people who are concerned for their own communities are watching. they're looking at it, saying how has the police responded? how has local government responded? what has the mayor done? what has the governor done? do these places survive and how they break down if they do break down? is there violence? what happened to businesses in the area. this is one locality in the country. there are many cities that possess the same ideologies around the country where this could potentially happen. a lot of people around the country have been plugged in. that is why so many people fled cities as of late and gone into the suburbs. they're saying you know what? this could be my city. i have similar political ideology in my city. i don't want to be in an area like that. i think it led to a lot of changes throughout the country. pretty interesting to watch. pete: a lot of hypocrisy as well. we'll talk about it this morning. in minneapolis they voted to defund the police department, two of the three city coins members have private security funded by taxpayers. taxpayers are putting the bill to protect them. you don't get the cops but they get to protect me because i won one election. cancel culture has not stopped. it made its way to princeton university yesterday. they have a graduate school there called the woodrow wilson school i believe for public international affairs. foreign policy public affairs graduate school. they will decide to drop woodrow wilson's name. it is known as woody woo. wilson school is no longer. here is what princeton president said in a very long statement. this is just a portion of it. wilson's segregationist policies make him especially inappropriate namesake for a public policy school, when a university names a school for political leader inevitably suggests that the honor reis a model for the students that study at the school. this moment in american history makes it clear wilson's racism disqualifies him from the role. his racist views and policies. listen, this is precisely what the left demands. everyone must be erased and canceled, even if they won a world war. while he did start the league of nations which ultimately failed, won a nobel peace prize. he is the, king progressive. he started the progressive movement in america but no, no good for the left. he has got to go. you want, you look around at every building, every university, including yale university named after a slave trader, you wonder when and where does this end, jed? jedediah: yeah. important to note with respect to princeton, this goes back to 2015 where those protests with respect to this particular building started. but the administration started we'll do reforms. we'll not remove the name. after the death of george floyd they decided to remove the name. private institutions can make the decisions. they can. they're allowed to do. that but also parents send the children to these schools, it is up to you what kind of school do you support the ideology. are you a fan of decision princeton made. or will you seek out institutions that have different way of life, looking at different way of history. ultimately people power rests in your hands and ultimately paying that tuition and making the decision what type of fours years your filed will have. griff: the problem, where is the tolerance in these institutions of higher learning? you expect, you send your kid to broaden their horse -- horizons, get a different array of perspectives. when they become intolerant naming of a school after one of our presidents it send as hypocritical message pete? pete: this is what higher education is today. little-known fact, i once was a student at the woodrow wilson school for a week before i dropped out because i didn't want to be there anymore. just saying. maybe i was ahead of my time. i knew i didn't want to be associated with such a patriarchal racist institution. but, yeah, we'll continue to see this with more schools under pressure from students. really students are pushing administrations to do this. jedediah: yeah. another big story we're following today is that the white house is pushing back on a "new york times" report that report claims that president trump knew russia was paying taliban militants to kill u.s. troops in afghanistan but failed to respond. mark meredith joins us live from d.c. with more on that dispute. mark, what's the latest? reporter: jed, good morning to you. the white house is denying that president trump was briefed about this report that suggests russian military units were working with militants on the ground to target u.s. troops in afghanistan. "new york times" first reported this story on friday. there has been a lot of blowback since then. it alleged russia provided taliban militants with money in exchange for targeting coalition forces. the white house has been pushing back hard on this they say the president did not know about it. the cia director, national security advisor and chief of staff can all confirm that neither the president nor the vice president were briefed on the alleged russia bounty intelligence. this does not speak to the merit of the alleged intelligence but inaccuracy of "the times" story erroneously suggesting that president trump was briefed on this matter. democrats up on capitol hill and on the campaign trail they are jumping all over this report accusing the president of cozying up to russia over the objection of u.s. allies. >> donald trump has continued his embarrassing campaign of deference and debasing himself before vladmir putin. he had this information according to "the times," yet he offeredded to host putin in the united states and sought to invite russia to rejoin the g7. reporter: now the president has suggested he would like to see russia come to the g7 meeting later on this year. that meeting was supposed to happen at end of this month. it was pushed back because of the pandemic. looks like it will happen in the fall. a lot can change. we'll watch the fallout a little later on today. griff, jed,. pete: pete uncle joe toll me more about your failing political history. no surprise russians meddling n afghanistan they had occupation for years ultimately expelled. if they want to take over afghanistan, part of the president's rationale of foreign policy is we shouldn't be spending trillions of american dollars and american lives there. doesn't dismiss the fact that russia is our enemy which we know but to point this at the white house say, they're complicit with putin i think to miss the whole story. griff: yeah. a lot more -- jedediah: key obviously if he was briefed on it or not. if he was briefed on it did nothing, then people will have something to say about that. if he didn't wasn't briefed on it it is fake news. yet to be seen. pete: russia has been paying bounties to islamists for years this is not a new thing ultimately, even if it is unfortunate. griff: got more on that coming up. we're turning to your headlines overnight. two people are killed after a shooting at a walmart distribution center. police say the suspect rammed his car into the california warehouse before opening fire with a a semiautomatic rifle. four people died in the shooting. four other people were hurt. gunman killed a shootout with police. the motive unknown. vice president pence heads to texas to receive an update on the state's coronavirus response. the vice president meets with governor greg abbott as cases rise in the state. he will speak about religious liberties and his own faith in a baptist church in dallas. two campaign events pence was set to headline in florida and arizona this week have been canceled. both have seen record breaking jumps in infections. extreme weather we go. powerful storms blast the east coast overnight. watch. heavy rain and wind slamming d.c., maryland and virginia. streets in the nation's capital flooded during the downpour. powerful winds blowing across georgia, leaving behind destruction. trees knocked down and ripped apart in the city of canton. it took 39 tries but kevin harvick finally has his first career win at pocono raceway. >> kevin harvick, finally a winner in pocono. >> what a strategy, great turn around, awesome. griff: kevin harvick winning pocono 325 by 3/4 of a second over denny hamlin he. he will have a chance to at two in a row at today's pocono 350 race. i'm a denny hamlin guy. here is my guy about to win as he did last year. kevin harvick. he deserved one. i was glad to see him. pete: kevin was driving slow at the end. that was a slow hmo. sorry about that. miami closing beaches for 4th of july weekend a month after reopening as covid-19 cases spike in florida. miami mayor francis suarez joins us liveal next. (timer chimes) you turn 40 and everything goes. tell me about it. you know, it's made me think, i'm closer to my retirement days than i am my college days. hm. i'm thinking... will i have enough? should i change something? well, you're asking the right questions. i just want to know, am i gonna be okay? i know people who specialize in "am i going to be okay." i like that. you may need glasses though. yeah. guidance to help you stay on track, no matter what comes next. ♪ ♪. jedediah: beaches in miami ordered to close down ahead of july 4th weekend less than one month after reopening this comes after florida recorded a record 9,000 new coronavirus cases in one day. hospitalizations also on the rise, prompting the state to ban drinking at bars and gatherings of more than 50 people. miami mayor francis suarez joins us now. mayor, thank you so much for being here. a little concerning to see these numbers emerging. do we know why there has been an uptick like this before we get to the beaches? >> shows that once we started opening, particularly restaurants, people started congregating in large numbers. they sort of forgot about the rules. what we know about this virus is that it is very aggressive in iting growth. before we locked down the city it was growing 35 new cases per day. as of last monday, it has been growing at a pace of over 40 new cases per day. it is a fairy aggressive virus and it didn't take much for it to spread very, very quickly. jedediah: when it comes to the beaches, do you feel that is the right decision? one thing always brought up by people, that's outdoors. as we know, you are less likely to catch this virus in an outdoor environment than a indoor environment f people don't have a place to go outdoors, will they try to flock indoors somewhere? what do you make of the ruling on the beaches? >> yeah, you know, i think the other issue is just mass congregation, areas where people congregate massively. we know that our beaches, particularly during holiday weekends are areas of mass congregation. it may be true more dangerous inside than it is to be outside, it is more dangerous to be in places where there is mass congregation than in places where there aren't. that is what the county mayor was trying, i think he made the right decision. you know, look, there is no playbook for what a mayor needs to do to protect his citizens. you have to do everything that we can do to try to make sure that our residents are safe and visitors are safe. we don't want anyone coming here or getting a virus and then going somewhere else and spreading it. jedediah: obviously a very difficult time and a challenging time to be a mayor of a city with numbers going up like this. the challenge for people, they feel like this could never end, right? they feel like you can open a beach, shut a beach. the numbers may tick up. you will have a asymptomatic people. more people are tested. young people will be less responsible for the question does this ever end remains to be seen. thanks so much for being here, giving us your take. >> you're welcome, thank you. jedediah: speaking of miami it, was one year ago on the debate stage where joe biden raised his hand, admitting he would give unlimited health care to illegal immigrants. retired acting i.c.e. director tom homan to discuss what changed and what happened. that is coming up next. what do you think?

the people are going to surge to the border to get here. what do you think that will do to the health carism is you and i pay for. that is ridiculous. add to the other two statements he made numerous times, number one he will put a moratorium on all deportations day one of his presidency. if you're in the country illegally you will never be deported unless you are a convicted of a serious felony. those three enticements will cause unprecedented surge at border. why wouldn't they? if there is no consequence, no deterrents why wouldn't you not come to the united states. he said it is okay to enter the country illegal, okay to work here illegally displace american workers and drive wages down. that is okay. we'll never deport you. that is just a foolish statement. cartels will get rich. 31% of women continue to be sexually molested making that journey. it's a ridiculous statement. griff: in that year, tom, the president kept his promise on the wall. he went out there this week, 214, 216 miles of the border wall. what do you make of that? >> president is keeping his promise to the american people. is keeping all of his promises. this is not the vanity wall, democrats call it, it is america's wall. border patrol getting the wall exactly what they wanted and where they wanted it. every mile of wall makes the country safer. hillary clinton, chuck schumer, joe biden, they all voted for border barriers in 2006 at 50 times the call. they all should agree. walls work. walls save lives. walls protect america. griff: if biden won do you think he would move to take the wall down? >> let me tell you what will happen. if biden wins the presidency we lose the border on day one. this president, president trump, i voted for six presidents. this is not emotional opinion. this isn't my thought. based on fact, based on his statements this president trump has more than any of the six presidents i worked for to secure this border. illegal crossings are down 84% because of this president with no help from congress. all that suck questions -- success on the border goes away day one because of biden's presidency. because of enticements he made people will surge to the border. president trump has done what no another president in my lifetime has done by himself with no help from congress. we lose the border under a biden presidency. griff: tom homan, don't forget we have daca hanging out there. that a topic for another day. thank you, sir. i know you're headed to the border. travel safe. >> thank you. nice seeing you. griff: thanks, tom. nypd is seeing a surge in retirements as crime and protests spike in the city. how can we change that trend?

>> well, first of all as usual i would like to thank the women and men in blue of nypd, law enforcement officers all across the country what they do especially during these times. the first thing, can you blame them, lack of backing, lack of leadership. possibility much losing your pension this. is a job you go to not one day, but a minimum of 20 years, you put your lives on the line every single day. which means one of those days out of 20 years you may lose your life! so why not leave when nobody is going to back you and you also going to be second-guessed on what you're doing. as far as the blue flu is concerned, unreasonable people don't want the police anyway. so therefore without them being there, you would think the crime rate is up now. watch what happens when police officers are not there. experienced police officers are retiring. so here its, you're getting rid of all this experience. everybody that does all the right things and be able to train the other officers. this is, remember sometimes police work it is lawful but awful. i say it again. it is lawful but awful. not all of police work is pretty. but it is lawful but at times it could look awful. griff: pete: joe, here is the what nypd about reports about digital pamphlets about a blue flu. new york city officers will be here today, tomorrow, 4th of july to protect all new yorkers. to suggest otherwise is false. joe, speak not to the blue flu portion but recruitment. how do you build a force that doesn't have support? >> everyone is concerned about a blue flu, what they should be concerned about the long term sustainability much our profession. attacks physical and political. we had 150 police officers shot this year, which is already outpacing last year's historic numbers. political attacks continue against our officers, who will want to be a police officer. if you're a young, intelligent, caring person that wants to go into a life of service, the exact people we want, the exact people that the community want us to hire, why in the hell would you take this job? the fact of the matter is, the attacks on law enforcement need to stop! people need to get a grip and understand that officers got into this profession to help people. if we don't turn this around, it will not be anybody left to take this job. if you are a part of the silent majority, i know you're watching right now, you need to hold our elected officials accountable for this. if they spew antipolice rhetoric if they promote lawlessness, if they support the terrorists and rioters and looters, hold them accountable and vote their asses out. pete: simone, speaking of elected leadership, do you see any help on the horizon? these democrat-led cities where a lot of violence is happening where police are calling out, are led by folks effectively supporting the anti-police protests. where do cops have to turn? >> you know, i agree with joe and dr. odom. these politicians, they are doing exactly what they say they are going to do. they're following with this minority majority group and they are making a mess out of this whole thing. as far as the blue flu, i feel like these officers need to have a safe where they were wanted and needed. they are out there bleeding, fighting crime, every day on the streets of new york, they don't feel like they have a stake. it is basic need. i'm a human being, ultimately like everyone else. i have needs as well. i need you to back me. i need to feel like i am a part of this department and you are a part of this department. officials are going to have to do something abought this. you have to say you know what?

>> i was helping people. jedediah: why did you want to make a lemonade stand? >> because, somebody got shot really bad. jedediah: you wanted to help? >> uh-huh. jedediah: wow. olivia, i want to ask you, how did this all start? so inspiring that a lemonade stand could make such an significant impact in some people's lives? >> it was a silly story because this little boy right here decided to be rebellious take a something he got from his teacher put it into the shoes. my mom said you can't take it to the grocery store. he put it into the shoes, as explain it like a teenage mutant turtle slime oozing out of his shoes. so they were ruined. cooper decided to do chores around the house to clean up and raise money for his shoes. i came up to him, cooper, what about lemonade stand. he was all for it. we decided to do it for some sort of cause and race money for something. it doesn't matter what it is. and then we were watching the news and we were just so touched by her story and felt that this is what we need to do. we need to do it for arlydia. we made signs. we made most terse, didn't we? -- posters and we set up the lemonade stand. we're over $3,000. jedediah: wow. over $3,000. such a great story to hear about this child. , how did you hear about this and what happened to arlydia and how this came about?

jedediah: big problems in new york because violent crime has been spiking we've got now hundreds of protesters camping outside of city hall in new york city and they're demanding my favorite mayor, don't sense the sarcasm too much, bill de blasio slashed one billion dollars from the nypd budget. this is happening as the nypd see as 49% spike in officers filing for retirement amid the unrest. we've seen this pattern happening before, with the saying for a long time, it is very difficult time to be a police officer. doesn't surprise me a lot of police officers are looking at anti-cop sentiment popping up around the country and lack of support particularly in a place like new york city. you know what? i don't know if it is something i can do anymore. doesn't seem like i'm well-received. cops have family too. they go home to wives, husbands and children. if they are not supported how can they effectively do their job, defend, going out there putting their lives on the line with no support system when they have families at home as well? pete: that is untenable. the protesters are demanding that mayor bill de blasio cut a billion dollars from the nypd budget there is rioting and lawlessness in the streets of new york city, in ault boroughs. steps away from here, fox news headquarters in manhattan. you've seen lawlessness, rioters and looting. the demands of the protesters are, you can't keep the streets safe, let's have less of you out there. images have been beamed to television screens across america. this is new york city. not the center of the universe. but it is emblematic what people see when they see lawlessness. i did a panel, griff, with police officers, dr. odom, a former nypd officer, you do 20 years, struck me, in the military do a one-year deployment, you know you're coming back to a totally different environment. if you put the blue uniform every single day you walk out what feels like a war zone, not knowing whether you feel like you will come home what that does to recruitment or retention, we're seeing a 50% drop, increase in the amount of retirements in the nypd. here is a portion of what our police panel said about the attack on cops today. >> the attacks on law enforcement need to stop! people neat need to get a grip, to understand that officers got into this profession to help people. if we don't turn this around, there will not be anybody left to take this job. >> you put your job on the line every single day, one of those days out of 20 years you may lose your life. why not leave when nobody is going to back you? you also will be second-guessed what you're doing. >> you don't want the police, fine, we're going to go. if i was a kid coming in with a college degree or without a college degree with just hours i would not join the police department. i would be afraid to. i think that is really scary. griff: that sent plenty is not just isolated in new york. here in d.c., a close friend of mine on the force of 20 years, says here's the deal, griff, what they have done with cutting the budget for police here in the city council and some other things they will try to do, include adding a member of black lives matter here in d.c. to a police reform commission, you're going to have everybody with five or less years on the force retiring. everyone with 25 and above leave. you will have a weakened force. that is the fear across the nation. you mentioned where fox is there, pete, great point, right behind us is times square. there was a time you would not dare go into times square. people from across the globe to walk around safely. the reason why it changed because of one, police, what they did to turn it around, jed. jedediah: yeah. exactly right. i remember a time in new york city, you're talking about new york city, when it was scary. there were certain areas of the city you didn't go into. rudy giuliani came in and he really reformed the city. suddenly you were excited to be in manhattan again. watching the lack of leadership on the part of bill de blasio particularly what happened with respect to the looting what happened after the protests. there was no effort at all. so many people that i know lost businesses. i cannot tell you, of all of my friends, i think one of them has stayed in manhattan. the rest said, i love this city, but i don't love what is happening to the city. i don't particularly like the leadership in manhattan. i can't keep my business here because there is fear those businesses will not be, no one will stand by them. when you have someone like that, you have them not standing by law enforcement at all, you have that sentiment among law enforcement, listen if we get into trouble the mayor does not have our back, that is how they feel, you will have a huge problem, crime will continue to soar, people will continue to leave the city. pete: remember when bill de blasio ran for president, never registered above 0%? jedediah: shocking. pete: shocking. he is so effective, when he ran for office in 2013, on the second term, he was endorsed by the left-wing, progressive magazine "the nation." i don't know if it prints an actual magazine, probably not. they're known for being far left. turns out de blasio is not far left enough for them. and they have reneged, reversed their endorsement of de blasio on his progressive policies citing his betrayal, they say he is supporting the police too much. here is the nation headline. bill de blasio broke his promise to new york. in the article they write, the mayor promised to fight for black lives, instead defended the police. he insisted the nypd respected the protesters and even blamed demonstrate force for inciting the cop's wrath. for those who believed de blasio 2013 promises for those the promises were made the response to the most racial uprising in century has been stunning. griff, look at that with realistic eyes, de blasio turned his back on the police, considered defunding them, not supporting them, yet for leftists, the hardcore types, that those running for president, the magazines they read, they're too supportive of the police. it shows you how far we have fallen. griff: shows you really the prowess, if you will of the progressive left because here they have their guy, their starting quarterback in terms of the liberal policies towards new york that jed's been talking a little bit about but now they want to find out if they can push that idealogical purity even further and this is them pointing that out saying, you didn't go all the way we wanted you to go so shame on you. jed? jedediah: bill de blasio has unique of being universally hated. truly amazing. he can inspire hatred among far left, far right. i don't know anyone that supports him. new york city is going the way of aoc. that is where it is headed. if you don't like it, there is not much you can do about it, the loud voices have become extreme, it is insanity especially manhattan central. there is another story we're following. that vice president pence is heading to texas to meet governor greg abbott over the state's coronavirus response. texas has seen a major spike in coronavirus cases as the u.s. marks another daily record of cases. governors across the country pausing reopening plans including florida and arizona. the sunshine state closing bars to cush the spread. the vice president postponing his campaign events in florida and arizona over cove individual covid-19 concerns. griff: good on the vice president, canes selling those trips, those planned campaign events in florida and arizona. look here is the deal. after the some point we'll deal with reality and the reality as was expected would pop up in some areas. you have a practical response to it. and i know, pete, you have hammered this pretty hard but here we have inaction, some precautions being taken which are prudent and that is pretty much straight up forward what this is? pete: reality you can't stay closed forever. you can take prudent measures. look at the data. we know who the virus affects the most. protect those people. ultimately spikes in cases doesn't always, doesn't mean it is out of control. you have to look at hospitalizations and deaths. if you look in texas and other states, the hospitals are not overwhelmed. elective surgeries are happening again which accounts for a large portion of the people in the icus. so the sky is not falling. you have to do both at the same time. reopening schools, reopening businesses, allowing livelihoods to move forward. listen, i scratch my head at things like this. the mayor of miami was on our program earlier, francis suarez talking about why closing beaches is somehow going to solve it. here is part of the sound. >> once you started opening, particularly restaurants people started congregating in large numbers. they sort of forgot about the rules. what we know about this virus it is very aggressive in its growth. the other issue is mass congregations areas where people congregate massively. we know our beaches particularly on holiday weekends are areas of mass congregation. it may be true that it is more dangerous to be inside than outside, it is more dangerous to be in places where there are mass congregations, than where there aren't. pete: you mean mass congregations like the massive protests over the last month? is anyone talking about the fact that could be responsible for increase in cases. i saw mostly young people out on the streets. yet no condemnation from political leaders. griff: wait a minute, let's not forget, biden didn't waist an opportunity to fund raise on this, slamming president trump as soon as he saw the first spikes, slamming for reopening the country prematurely. here is what biden said yesterday. he has not done any of what needs to be done. now he is sending even more people back to work without a plan to safely reopen, hanging the open sign in the economy, crossing his fingers and telling his staff, slow down testing? you can't wish this away. cases are still rising. people are still dying. front line workers will unfortunately be on the front lines a long, long time. as president i'm going to make sure i have their backs. jed. jedediah: obviously the fear, even if it is young people out on the beaches, maybe they're not at high-risk for serious complications, the fear they will then go home to someone who is older and put them at risk. with that being said, i don't know how you avoid this in the long run. eventually society will need to reopen. but it is a challenging time to be a mayor of one of those cities who sees spikes and wants to do something and doesn't really know what to do. the truth with this virus it has been a lot of ups and downs. doctors, people, we don't know what to do because it is highly contagious. even when people get mild symptoms and labeled mild, sometimes they're not so mild. i can tell you that. it is very challenging. with that being said life will have to resume at some point. i don't know what the answer is. i don't think anyone genuinely knows what the answer is. pete: if you're young, don't go back to grandma. there are ways you can be responsible for this. all of us can't sit in our payments with masks on like joe biden. people have to live their lives, be responsible, open their business. i find quite sanctimonious of him. griff: more on that. turning to the headlines. a man is shot and killed at a protest in louisville. [gunfire] gunshots ringing out during a peaceful protest for briana taylor. a second person was shot near the demonstration. their injuries are not life-threatening. no arrests have been made. taylor's death sparking demonstrations nationwide. she was shot and killed by police during a no-knock warrant in march. the u.s. fighter jets intercept russian spyplanes near alaska for the sixth time this month. norad scrambling the planes to confront the russian aircraft. norad said they came within 65 miles of alaskan airspace t comes four days after the most recent intercept. norad says they are always ready to defend the u.s. in just a few hours st. patrick's can thread will host the first public mass since march. cardinal timothy dolan will lead the church. capacity will be limited to 25%. people must follow social distancing t will also be live stream on the cathedral's website. i encourage you to check it out. it will be a quite a moment. those are your headlines. pete?

>> so, chop will not be gone after today. let's give you update on specifically what will supposed to happen later on if the protesters actually allow it. the mayor got a hold of a bunch of organizers but not all the organizers. because there are no actually leaders of chop this morning as they will remove some of the barriers. they will not remove barriers outside of the police precinct shut down as a result of all this activism. that is still going to remain. the question how many other barriers to reopen the neighborhood basically will be able to get removed before someone steps up, hopefully what happened on friday, which someone pulled a gun on city workers and they wound up leaving. pete: is the course for seattle, please, pretty please, can we take down the barriers? or if someone takes down a forklift will they be arrested and the job be done? you're saying the police precinct still ultimately won't be taken by the city? >> under no circumstance is today will the be the day we get the police precinct back, according to the mayor. yes, it would appear anyone can stand in one of the forklifts or lay down in front of them, they will stop their movement. so we'll see what ends up happening. a lot of people seem to think this will be the end. no it is a slow death. to be clear chop today was not the chop of last week before the shootings. there are clearly less people out there. these are more the hard-core activists that are still there they're saying we are not ready to go. you haven't met our demands? pete: their demands are what and i'm charm they cannot be met? >> no. none of the demands can be met. before going into the meeting with the mayor on friday, what we're seeing friday on the country, fringe beliefs, get rid of police department, release people in jail, total immunity to protesters who have been ticketed or arrested over the course of last several weeks. we're hearing more stuff, get rid of qualified immunity which of course the city of seattle has no control over. pete: of course. they're awaiting u.n. recognition from the palestinian authority and north korea pending. >> eventually. pete: thank you, jason rants, thank you very much for your time. one year since kamala harris confronted joe biden about racism on the debate stage. nowan she is his favorite for vp . no more nocturnal baking, or polar ice cap air-conditioner mode. because the tempur-pedic breeze° delivers superior cooling from cover to core. helping you sleep cool, all night long. during the tempur-pedic summer of sleep, save $500 on all tempur-breeze mattresses... and experience your coolest sleep this summer, on our best breeze savings of the year. and the clock could be ticking towards bad breath, receding gums and possibly tooth loss. help turn back the clock on gingivitis with parodontax. leave bleeding gums behind. parodontax. leai geh. common bird.e.nd. ooh look! over here! something much better. there it is. peacock, included with xfinity x1. remarkable. fascinating. -very. it streams tons of your favorite shows and movies, plus the latest in sports news and... huh - run! the newest streaming app has landed on xfinity x1. now that's... simple. easy. awesome. xfinity x1 just got even better with peacock premium included at no additional cost. no strings attached. just say "peacock" into your voice remote to start watching today. ♪. griff: welcome back. time now for your news by the numbers. first, 22-pounds. that is how much marijuana a k-9 officer found in a pickup truck. the dog sniffed it out during a traffic stop in california. police arrested the driver. next, $7 billion, that is how much mark zuckerberg loses in personal wealth as the companies stop advertising on facebook. several companies are accusing the platform of failing to monitor hate speech. jed? jedediah: thanks, griff. joe biden facing growing pressure from democrat women urging him to pick a black running mate. kamala harris is emerging as the front runner in the veepstakes. just last year she challenged the former vp on race. >> it was hurtful, to hear you talk about the reputations of two united states senators who built their reputations and career on segregation of race. you also worked with them to oppose busing. there was a little girl in california who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools. and she was bused to school every day. and that little girl was me. jedediah: so is all forgiven? who here to debate, republican strategist, joseph pin i don't know and democratic strategist kevin wallace. are they buddies now? let bygones be bygones. >> they are. you run hard when you're running in a primary. sometimes they're ugly and sometimes unfortunate. dr. joe biden was campaigning with senator harris two days ago raising a lot of money for the campaign. there is closeness between the vice president and between senator harris. i think as you have seen with most democratic polls who folks on our side want to see run with the vice president, senator elizabeth warren and senator harris, among others. she would be a formidable vice president alongside joe biden running at the top of the ticket. jedediah: joseph, does that answer work for you? for me when i watch two people go head-to-head on a debate stage, you watch kamala harris put a lot of heat in joe biden's direction, his record on criminal justice now suddenly for them to fuse as if nothing happened, that never sits right with me. >> look, i think the reality is kamala harris never had a problem with joe biden's record on race. or had a problem with joe biden getting a larger of percentage of black voters in the polls. that little girl was me, was a poll-tested stunt six months in the making, designed to sell a lot of t-shirts. has very little to do with the needs of black people across this country. as we saw with the latest vote to basically stop justice dead in its tracks, most of what democrats are talking about has nothing to do with the needs of black people. democrats want to continue to play the identity politics. they think they can rebuild the obama coalition by throwing a brown face at the bottom of the ticket. i think unfortunately unless they're planning on putting michelle obama on ticket themself they will learn the same lesson in 2016 all over again. jedediah: michelle obama would be absolutely a formidable candidate. i want to ask you, kevin, about karen bass. she has been floated as vp choice. california congresswoman. she made comments about the fidel castro democrats themselves have been troubling. as cuba begins nine days of mourning i wish to express my condolences to the cuban people and family of fidel castro. the passing of commander-in-chief is a great loss to the people of cuba. comments like this, won't they be a problem for centrist democrats that joe biden would desperately need? >> there could be jed. there is huge cuban-american population in florida. we have seen pushback to her remarks. karen bass would be formidable vice-presidential contender. first former black woman speaker of california general assembly. leads the black congress in congress. passed comprehensive police reformulas week in the house of representatives. of course no second choice is going to be strong in terms of the vice president based on previous remarks. but i think she, like senator harris would be formidable. again they're not running in a vacuum. they're running against a president, vice president, who now, you know, praised vladmir putin as we talked about earlier in the show, recent reports about the entanglements with russian-backed groups in afghanistan, targeting. jedediah: kevin, kevin, let me interrupt a second i i want to joe. kevin says they would be formidable. why? why would they be? they don't have a record. joe biden needs someone talking about criminal justice reform, we're talking about those issues that is what is happening in this moment, that is what they're trying to address, his record is terrible on that. none of these people are coming forward, where is the record that helps him on those issues? i'm not seeing it. i don't think this should just be about color. this has to be about what you have done to help african-americans, if that is your goal. am i wrong here? >> look, when you talk about congresswoman bass she is accomplished in her own right, but do those accomplishments help joe biden in this moment? i would submit they do not. if you're talking about the constant problem that democrats have, is they have revisionist history, socialism, forget socialism actually made real pain and real suffering in everyday people's lives. so the people who are the descendants of cubans do not forget. they want to tear down statues yet place, basically mausoleums to a murderous dictator because he happened out free health care to the grandchildren of people he murdered. i think ultimately, when you talk about who you should be picking the goal is to build a coalition not loosen tire constituencies. if democrats want to continue to ignore the fact that rank-and-file democratic voter is a moderate, they will end up in a lot of pain come 2020 all over again. jedediah: thank you both for being here. remains to be seen who he picks. we'll follow it, catch up with you then, thanks so much. >> thank you. >> jed, good to see you. jedediah: good to see you too. four suspects charged with trying to tear down an andrew jackson statue in d.c. our own brian kilmeade asked president trump about defending our monuments. he is here live with a preview combing up next. sometimes i wish i had legs like you. yeah, like a regular person. no. still half bike/half man, just the opposite. oh, so the legs on the bottom and motorcycle on the top?

>> put it this way, when i had a chance to do the white house tour which is going to be on tonight and speak with the president, one hour after i left this took place in broad daylight. you saw the attempted takedown but the damaging of the andrew jackson statue, a statue people like ronald reagan, even though he was a democrat insisted on having his picture taken on front of in his first day in office, on cover of "newsweek" magazine. this is brazen act. the faces were apparent. they thought there would be no retribution. they thought they would be heroes. four will be indicted. one has already been arraigned. this is what i say, this should be 400 arrests. if you can get those four to pay a price for the destruction of these statues it will send a message. you know what? maybe it is not worth it. sadly i think, guys, they will get the message, next time i will cover my face. pete: boy, that's right. >> brian, a lot of people are talking about america, what is lost. what is at stake. this is perfect timing. you have a new "fox nation" show, presents what made america great. tonight at 10:00 p.m. tell us about it. >> i'm pumped up. i've done 21 features. when the virus hit, everything went on the shelf, you know. that i had three done. look at sam houston, two-part series, and women's suffrage which will roll out on monday. after year-and-a-half of trying we finally got a call 10 days ago from the white house. you can do your historical tour and the president will be available. what i wanted to do not so much talk, here is president trump 45 and here is what he thinks. i want to show you the whole thing. it is composed of, it is a museum for us. it is a residence for the president, and it is also in particular a place of business. the president is actually running the country from there how did you show off and how did it start. it started off with eight rooms and why 130 now? some of the biggest moments that happened to mirror america's progress? pete: brian, fantastic work. i think you have a clip of this from your interview with president trump. it is about the white house, history of the white house, how it works and where it came from, but you spoke to the current president of the white house. here is a portion of it. >> the greatest country on earth. we have a heritage. we have a history. we should learn from the history and if you don't understand your history, you will go back to it again, you will go right back to it. you have to learn. think of it, you take away that whole era and you're going to go back to it sometime. people won't know about it. they will forget about it. it's okay. what i like, i like building new statues to people, to great people, people that have done something. i think that's okay but you don't want to take away our heritage and our history. and the beauty, in many cases the beauty, the artistic beauty. griff: brian, he mentioned new statues but as you lay out in your special, it was 1948 to 50 truman rebuilt the white house. did the president possibly tell you any additions to come to the white house? >> he didn't tell me i know if he had his druthers he would be building on to it. he does that by trade but i just talk about in 1792 washington starts construction. it is done by 1800. one of the great moments, 1814 it gets burned to the ground. it comes back in 1817. a west wing added by teddy roosevelt. the truman moves into the house. it is about to fall apart. he moves out. here come the tractors. all that is left is exterior walls. white house is put back together. they didn't predict electricity. they predict plumbing. they didn't predict air-conditioning. when they added on to the house, it was unable to hold all of this together. it was truman said whose idea was this? i think we get a sense of the great moments in our past through the white house and of course the president weighs in on what it means to him walking into that place every day. pete: fascinating. west wing built by teddy roosevelt. maybe we'll have to get rid of it if it was built by teddy roosevelt. that is crazy times we live in, but watch this special tonight, 10:00 p.m. eastern time, fox news channel. what made america great with brian kilmeade. an exclusive interview with the president. you will get the tour of the white house brian kilmeade gets every other week. it is his second home. brian, you're the man. appreciate it. you say often get dressed. i say, go back to bed. >> no. i'm up baby. pete: i know you are. thank you, brian for joining us. we appreciate it. griff: thanks, brian. jedediah: thanks, brian. we'll head over to rick reichmuth who is, i'm not sure, rick, are you indoors, outdoors today?

>> not even close. so we did not own the building. we were tenants of the building. so we don't have a say of what getting rebuilt there and, if the landlord rebuilds wants another restaurant in there or not but that area is, i would say years out from being rebuilt. i don't don't know for certain. they have not begun demolition or rebuilding of anything in that area. pete: charles, when you hear words years out, it doesn't provide a daylight. when you see the city council vote unanimously to disband the minneapolis police department, does that get you closer to the environment you need to reopen a business? >> i don't know it gets us closer to the environment that you need. i certainly understand if someone wants to tell me they're going to send a different type of officer for one type of call versus another, i certainly understand that. but it is hard for me to envision a world complete, with abolishment of police officers when that is all i've known since i've been a child. so i don't know that that brings us closer. there is still a long way to go in the legislative process from the governor to be, before they could possibly get to that state, but unanimous vote speaks volumes. pete: it does. great point. casey, does it rub you the wrong way, the same city council members voting to abolish the police have hired their own private security detail on taxpayer dollars to defend themselves? >> you know, i think they have a hard job and i think that, whichever way they made a decision, whether it was, whether it was a vote to abolish or not i think we're in a, we're in a world right now where they have to be concerned for their sift and they're taking the proper precautions. had they voted the opposite direction, would they have hired security for themselves also? probably so. pete: great point. >> i think it's a tough job for -- pete: no. i will ask you, charles as the exit question, do you feel like the city of minneapolis is moving in the right direction generally speaking for crime to go down, for businesses to reopen? are you hopeful there is a new horizon there? >> you absolutely have to be hopeful. after what this city and st. paul have gone through over the past month, what more do you have to hold on to more than hope? there has to be hope. so, yes, i personally am quite hopeful. is this right, is this, i missed first part of question, do i think this is the right direction to go? i know that, if the whole incident that happened with mr. floyd were to happen it, was a middle-aged white guy like myself, i don't know that i believe he is dead. so at at that point do i look at it and say, definitely there is something that needs to be fixed. yeah, of course. do i know what that solution is? no. we're kind of simple restaurant ture and chef for a living. i don't know that i know that solution but i am open to hearing it. pete: we appreciate your time. we reached out to the city council for a statement. good luck to you both. god bless you. good luck. more "fox & friends" and you'll be surprised at how easily starting small can lead to something big. start stopping with nicorette. ♪ griff: take me out to the ballgame. america's favorite pastime is almost back. major league baseball setting opening day for july 24. here to weigh in on the return of sports and reopening of our nation is one player who can't wait to get back on the field, pitcher for the los angeles dodgers and financial advisor, ross stripping. >> thanks for having me. we're usually5 games a season right now, the dog days of summer. we have a big hurdles with the coronavirus. we have health and safety protocols and to help bring baseball back to sports fans everywhere and we're really excited. griff: what is the reaction to fox we're get. we're running a fox commercial tugs at your heartstrings, gives me goosebumps every time i see it, because baseball is a important part of our nation's fabric. are you getting feedback about your return?

many are watching and learning about what will and won't stand. pete: yeah. it seems seattle's mayor, jenny from the block, is going to use the please if, pretty please approach with c.h.o.p. rioters. you know, i don't mean to bust their chops, but it seems that the t-shirts could be printed now, i started an autonomous zone, and all i got was a community garden out of it. this'll either end in a fizzle, in a confrontation, but what can't stand is the lawlessness that goes with it. we have seattle radio host jason rant on the program, he knows all about the local dynamics there in seattle. i asked him, will this be the end? >> they're not going to remove the barriers outside of this police precinct that has been shut down as a result of all of this activism. so that's till going to remain. -- still going to remain. how many of the other barriers to reopen the neighborhood, basically, how many will they be able to get removed before someone steps up is and, hopefully, what happened on friday doesn't happen again. someone pulled a gun on the city workers, and they ended up leaving. under no circumstance is today going to be the day in which we get that police precinct back, according to the mayor. a lot of people seem to think this is going to be the end. no, it's a slow death. griff: so the mayor, you know, she thought it was going to be a summer of love. then people started to get shot, one killed. now you're going to get -- the barriers are going to remain in place. the messaging, i think, on this entirely is wrong, jed, from the mayor if she's trying to send the signal that, you know, hey, enough is enough. jedediah: one of many mayors that has failed brutally throughout this whole process. i'm just always confused as to what the end game is. if you're someone who established this designated area of c.h.o.p., what is your end game? did you really think this was the best way to bring about the change that you wanted to say police aren't allowed -- there is a way to bring about change, and the tearing down of monuments that you don't like, desecrating them or establishing autonomous zones, that's just not the way to do it. and some of these concerns could be heard loud and clear and shared by others. but the way that it's being gone about is what's turning so many off and, frankly, terrifying people that this could potentially happen in their city as well. pete: yeah. i think the beginning of the end for the country of c.h.o.p. is when they were only able to get recognition at the u.n. from sens -- venezuela and the palestinian authority. woodrow wilson, the president of the united states who helped win world war i, well, there's a school in new jersey, small one, that has a graduate school called the woodrow wilson school of public policy and international affairs at princeton university. to clarify, we're showing you the wilson building not in monmouth, new jersey, that is the building at princeton university. well, you can't call it woody woo anymore. princeton university has stripped the name woodrow wilson from that school. here's a portion of the letter that princeton's president sent to alumni and to press yesterday. wilson segregationist policies make him an inappropriate namesake for a public policy school. when a university names a school of public policy for a political leader, it inevitably suggests that honoree is a model for students who study at the school. this sering moment in american history has made clear that wilson's racism disqualifies him from the role. so yet another president of the united states canceled because whether his statements were good or bad, lived in a different era, this is the king of progressives. this is the beginning of the progressive movement on a very liberal campus. griff: yeah. you know, i wonder what the parents of students at princeton feel. i have a daughter who's a freshman in college. i want her to go to expand her horizons, to learn more, be open to new ideas and to ultimately grow into an adult equipped with the knowledge to make decisions to solve problems. and removing the name, capitulating to this urge to follow ideology does not teach anyone how to solve future problems, and that's not proper, jed. jedediah: yeah. and you're going to see this with rebranding. we've already seen it, certain products have been rebranded, certain bands' names, dixie chicks was one of them that has been changed, and you're going to see this pop up around college campuses because they cater very much to these knee-jerk reactions. when it comes to this building at princeness princeton, studena problem with it back in 2015, but the urgency came with the death of george floyd. you're going to need to make those decisions. some people will fall in line and say, you know what? it's 2020, times have changed, and we don't want that name on the building because we want to reflect the social justice concerns that are happening now, and other people are going to say this is crazy because this is part of our past, it was a different time, people lived in a different way, but you can't go back and cancel everything from presidents to sitcoms to product names or there will be no end in sight. people will fall on both sides of that debate, and it remains to be seen how far it can development. at what point does it end? we've talked about the national anthem. i don't know where it ends, to be truthful. pete: the left has to tear down their standard-bearer who's a democrat, a proig. and, you know, history, as you allude to, it's a pesky, complicated thing. you don't understand world war ii unless you understand world war i. you don't understand the failures of the u.n. unless you understand the failures of the league of nation. woodrow wilson was a president of the united states, a president of princeton as well. not a perfect person, but if you don't look at what he believed and why, point out what was wrong, what worked, what doesn't work, you don't learn in the future. canceling him now helps nothing except bowing to those who are always going to pick, to your point, a new target. it's never good enough. they'll always go farther. griff: that's right. now we've got to turn to your headlines starting with a fox news alert. [inaudible] aboard air force two at my moment. he's headed to dallas to meet with governor greg abbott and review the state's covid-19 response. he'll also speak at first baptist church. pastor robert jeffress will be there, he joined us earlier to discuss the visit. >> today is not a political rally, i want to make that very clear. the vice president is going to be talking about the importance of faith, personal faith. he'll be sharing about his own faith journey. griff: vice president pence canceled campaign events in florida and arizona this week as coronavirus cases spiked there in those states. and mississippi lawmakers set to vote today on whether to change a state flag. the legislature approving the first step to remove the confederate emblem on saturday. the measure is expected to pass, and governor reeves says he will sign the bill. that would be history for the magnolia state. extreme weather, we go. storms blasting the east coast overnight. watch this.

>> it's precisely a double standard, you're quite correct. and what the judge recognized is a truth that was stated by the judge in the fifth circuit. similar -- simply this, the constitution does not permit a regulatory regime -- in other words, there are freedoms for thee but not more me. -- for me. so in a sense, i welcome the protests. these people have the right to protest a terrible injustice, but they also demonstrate that there really is no basis for this social distancing regime, and the governor's own statements and mayor de blasio's own statements make that clear. they had no problem with thousands of people pack being onto the brooklyn bridge or the manhattan bridge, there was no fear of spikes of the coronavirus. and yet at the same time, they were prohibiting funeral gatherings outdoors, high school graduations. and on the very day when a massive protest march was moving through brooklyn, children in a brooklyn orthodox jewish neighborhood were being kicked out of a park by police. we have a photograph of that in the papers we submitted to the court. so the judge's case widely recognized that the double standard just doesn't cut it under the first amendment. so he remedied that problem. how did he do it. well, he said, first of all, the outdoor gathering limits of 10 people or 25 people depending on what phase you're in and what region you're in, those limits have to go because they've been superseded by the massive protests. not only for george floyd, but for black lives matter and also celebrations of juneteenth. so the limits are gone. the only thing that's required is that people observe social distancing. which, by the way, the protesters aren't. there was a tight limitation of 10 people only in the southern part of the state indoors, and upstate slightly less restrictive regulation in the northern part. now that's been superseded under the, test order by -- executive order by 25% for places of worship -- jedediah: christopher, christopher it's -- yeah,er if, i just want to point out we did reach out to both the governor and mayor for a statement, we have yet to hear back. i think the concern is accountability on this issue because there has been a double standard. high school graduations were canceled, so many things were told that they couldn't be held, and at the same time you had people like de blasio endorsing protests, mass gatherings of people. some were wearing mask, some were not, well beyond 25 people. so i think it's important to bring up the larger context here, because this double standard has penetrated all of society even beyond religious limits. just quickly, do you think there will be accountability for cuomo or de blasio? >> i don't know, that's up to the voters in terms of the holding of elected office. but accountability judicially speaking would be at the final stage of this case when we move from the preliminary injunction that has been granted to final injunctive relief and the declaratory judgment. what we're going to be asking for is a judgment that this kind of thing, this double standard you're talking about, is simply impermissible, and you can't justify it on the basis of public health. jedediah: well, thank you so much, christopher, for being here. i know many people are grateful for this ruling. thank you for your take, as always. >> you're welcome. jedediah: coming up, a retired sheriff's deputy standing up for the thin blue line. why he's fighting for his right to fly the flag despite a homeowners' association's order. we've not that coming up next. quitting feels so big. so try making it smaller, and you'll be surprised at how easily starting small can lead to something big. start stopping with nicorette. -excuse me. uh... do you mind...being a mo-tour?

>> i received a letter just saying to take it down. it's been there for three years. it has a red line and also a blue line, because i'm representing the fire department as well as the police department. the flag represents officers and firemen that have died, but i guess what's going on in this country now, it's becoming a sign of hate or racism. i'm assuming that somebody complained, filed a complaint, and the letter said to take it down because it wasn't a traditional flag, and that's pretty much what the letter told the us to do. pete: sean, are you going to take it down?

[laughter] thank you for your service. >> have a great day. pete: still ahead, as protesters turn out in masses for black lives matter, one dad is asking where the support was when his son was killed by an illegal immigrant. georgia legal shaw jr. joins us next with his message for the movement. ♪ ♪ jedediah: as black lives matter protests continue across the country, one dad is asking where the movement was when his son was murdered by an illegal immigrant in 2008. pete: at just 17 years old, georgia mill shaw jr. was killed by a gang member who mistakenly thought he was part of a rival gang. griff: joining us now is georgia mill's father, author of the book, "shattered plans, still a future of hope." good morning, jamil, thanks for joining us. we always appreciate you taking time, and we've certainly had another week of what we see in the streets, a lot of americans out there trying to process it. what is your thoughts this morning on this? >> you know, it's, like i said, the george floyd death was really bad, you know in the father, you know, i know how it is for your son to die right in front of you. but my son was murdered. i ran outside, and he was looking just like george floyd right now. he had his face to the side with his eyes closed like he was asleeped still holding his cell phone. -- asleep. but that lumpness in his body -- limpness in his body was something i never seen before s and the see george floyd like that, you know, i knew it was bad. but, you know, once it goes there, it seems like black lives matters only focuses on black people who were murdered by the police. you know, my son was murdered in 2008, and i reached out to anybody that would listen, especially black people because i thought for sure i would have a lot of support in the black community. but because of the illegal aliens and the way they get all the support in california, no one would jump on board because they didn't want to have to, you know, justify the illegal alien part. so they just let me go by myself. so i ended up being a conservative because that's who reached out to me, republican people, conservative people started coming to me, and i started seeing through the liberals and the dems that they were just trying to use me. you know, it just let you know that we're all black people should matter. shouldn't be just if you're murdered by the police like it's some kind of death lottery like, yeah, i won. i was murdered by the police, so we get something out of it. everybody else just gets screwed and has to sit on the sidelines and pretend like, you know, they're getting over it. pete: where does that double standard come from? you talk about your son killed by an illegal which is based on policies that politicians allowed to exist. why is there an unwillingness to be critical of that when a person of color is killed innocent on the streets? >> you know, the way i see it when with i was growing up, it was obvious that a lot of black people were, like, we didn't like the black man. everybody was accusing me of being used by the white man. anything but i'm mad because my son was murdered, you know? and as it goes on, they start feeling that the only way you can basically survive is you have to act like, you know, like you've been victimized by other people. so then when black people tend of to have the problem with the white man, they were starting to use latinos as a way to go after the white man, and we could help. so they saw them as we come in peace, so they never did anything. and then they took over our community, and when the black people started complaining about it, we're the racists, you know? we're the ones out of jobs, our whole infrastructure is latino. you can't even get soul food in my neighborhood. i'm not against mexicans in general but, you know, what about black people, you know? you see black lives matter if you're killed by the police, it's okay. we can tear down and burn down buildings, but if you're murdered by an illegal alien, you have to be quiet. my son was murdered by an illegal alien from mexico while his mother was in iraq. can you imagine me as a black man and a father, his mother's in iraq serving duty. she calls me from iraq to ask me is it true that she's hearing that the chaplain, her commander told her her son was murdered think how i feel as a black man and a father that happened on my watch in i can never live that down in my mind. his mother might feel that, you know, you're supposed to be watching the boy, and now he's dead while i'm overseas, you know? when the family of a military person goes overseas, nobody wants the military at their house because they never do anything wrong. can you imagine how she felt in iraq when they called her into the office to tell her her son was dead? find out an illegal alien from mexico? that's not right. jedediah:jam if iel, we're deeply sorry for the loss of your son. can't imagine the pain of that experience. we just want to give you a chance to just pay tribute to your son. say whatever you'd like about him and any message you may have to black lives matter or to the larger community about how you feel that your son was not paid proper tribute to, and you were felt ignored at the time by a lot of politicians and by a lot of organizations. >> yeah. it's sad because, you know, when my son was murdered, i really thought -- because we had three black city councilmen, council people, and i really thought i'd have support. and when i went to each one of them individually, one of them told me i was being used by the white man, one of them told me i have a kind of exclusivity on murder, and the other one told me that i opened up a hornets' nest. and i was, like, what did i do? my son is murdered, i come to you guys for help. i'm not saying you gotta put 'em in jail or run down illegal alien gang members, but they're leaving out everybody that has been murdered not by the police. and it's not fair to our loved ones, you know? we're not out in the street. do you think i didn't feel like enraged my son was dead? i didn't go out and pick on every illegal immigrant in the city of l.a., i haven't bothed anybody. i'm -- bothered anybody. it's not fair when i watch on tv. the only reason they care is that they're killed by the police, and then they get to tear down the city, burn up everything, loot everything, and nobody's going to jail. i'm like, man, this is unfair, you know? i'm black, where's our help? i know a lot of people not even black, their kids are dead. they're moms and dads, and they get nothing unless you hit the lottery, the police did it, yeah, baby, we did it. the police did it so it's like a celebration. but now since the police did it, we can destroy everything, you know, and the people who need help get nothing. peter: jamil shaw, thank you for bringing memory to your son. >> thank you very much. griff: thank you. jedediah: to your headlines now. a massive water main break causing havoc in atlanta. the city issuing a boiled water advisory for all residents, a hospital being forced to use bottled water for patients. saying it's not affecting overall care. the 36-inch pipe bursting on the georgia tech campus. crews are now working to repair it. and california could soon allow 17-year-olds to vote. a measure on the ballot in november would alter the state constitution. 17-year-olds could vote in primaries or special elections if they turn 18 by the general election. the bill's author says it will allow young people to be better represented and allow more to take part in the election cycle. 17 states and washington, d.c. already have similar measures in place. and garth brooks' performance for fans around the country while they were parked at the drive-in. ♪ ♪ jedediah: the live concert streamed at more than 300 theaters across the country overnight. thousands of fans singing along and flashing their car lights in the place of lighters, some of them driving for miles to watch the show. those are your headlines. ♪ ♪ i will sail my vessel -- [laughter] until the river runs dry. pete: all right, sorry. i'm no garth, but i will -- griff: garth would be impressed. i'm going to quickly toss to rick to get some weather to get you out of the garth impersonation. pete: thank you.

>> thank you for having me, griff. told, as you mentioned, my club, the new york young republican club, will be leading a rally along with activists from across the five boroughs to demonstrate in defense of the equestrian statue of teddy roosevelt which greets millions every year as they enter into the american museum of natural history which is an institution that would not even be there today if not for the great work of our 26th president who was an american patriot and icon. but make no mistake about it, this is about much more than just one statue, this is about a cultural revolution which is engulfing our nation. left mobs across the countries are seeking to destroy and erase american history, our past, and they will do so under any guise whether it's racial justice or some other inequity in society. but we have to realize this is really about one thing and one thing only, power. because those who control the past control the future as we've seen throughout history from revolutionary, to the soviet union and maoist china. our demonstration today, we are hoping to send a message to the silent majority, as it's called, across this country that they should be silent no longer and that we have a great history, a great legacy of a nation. it's not something to be ashamed of, it's something to be proud of. we should stand tall and defend it. griff: gavin, you're giving me hope that your generation understands a critical important aspect of history expect role that it plays, but -- and the role that it plays. is the hypocrisy also recognized by your peers insofar as roosevelt was a explorer, an outdoorsman and perhaps the reason for that particular statue is problematic, but also effective, he played a role in founding that museum itself. >> yeah. there's a lot of hypocrisy going on. and the museum president claim they're removing it due to its, quote-unquote, hierarchical composition which is just a fancy way of saying teddy roos as well as is the -- roosevelt is the most prominent figure in his own statue. the figures with him are standing tall and proud, not subservient. it doesn't matter how innocuous the statue is, the left will always find an excuse to take it down, to deface it, to destroy it, and we need to stand up. griff: gavin, are you concerned for your safety?

[laughter] great to have you. griff, this is not just something in seattle or new york, in our nation's capital we've seen these same spikes in confrontation. griff: we sure have. here in d.c. you can have the arrest of four of those protesters that tried to topple the andrew jackson statue, a development that, you know, otherwise had been unchallenged as we had the protests here. and, of course, you in recent weeks come down with the national guard to take control of the streets. but really i think you're seeing the culmination, and what's unique about where you guys are, pete and jed, in new york is you have both the continued protests and the lawlessness in the streets married to spikes in crime. and, jed, that's certainly going to be a problem for gotham city. jedediah: yeah, it sure is. i mean, violent crime has been spiking. manhattan in particular has looked terrible, frankly. it hasn't looked so bad in years. it's hooking scary again. -- looking scary again. and now you have hundreds of protesters demanding that de blasio slash $1 billion from the nypd budget, you now have the nypd seeing a spike in officers filing retirement. not only do would have an anti-cop sentiment that is alive and well in places like new york city, but you also have now budget cuts where police are going to turn around and say, listen, you know, we're being blamed for things before we've even done them. already it's assumed we've done something wrong, and now you're taking money away from us that prevent ares us from keeping these community safe. how am i supposed to do my job and risking my life for someone else and that i have some support system behind me be it from the mayor, the governor and what not. a lot of police in many of these communities don't feel they have that. i know, pete, you spoke to a panel earlier who weighed in on that. pete: yeah. they talked about what this kind of environment does on the ability to recruit, retain. you've seen massive retirements in new york city, up 60%. here's a portion. >> the attacks on law enforcement needs to top. people need to get a grip and understand that officers got into this profession to help people. and if we don't turn this around, there's not going to be anybody left. >> you put your life on the line every single day which means one of those days out of 20 years you may lose your life. so why not leave when nobody's going to back you and you're going to be second guessed on what you're doing? >> you don't want the police? fine, we're going to go. if i was a kid coming in with a college degree or without a college degree, i wouldn't join the police department. i'd be a afraid to. and i think that that's really scary. pete: it is a scary reality. i don't know where the condemnation is coming from the mayor of all these protesters who are not abiding by his social distancing protocols in the middle of covid-19. and if you defund police, who are you going to send to the beach to enforce social distancing there or to churches when people want to worship? the double standards and hypocrisy are glaring every single day. and the lack of clarity from the man wanting to be the standard bear on the democrat side, joe biden, handling it only makes the situation worse. griff: the frightening reality also, pete, to ping on this point, is -- pick up on this point, is that these protesters will not come to the meeting place of discussion insofar as the majority of police officers in this country are good, honest and putting their lives on the line. you have to back up to that point because police officers text me all the time. i know they do you as well saying they're devastated by the way law enforcement is now treated. the respect they once commanded is gone essentially overnight amidst one of those difficult times in our nation's recent history. i just don't see that changing, and that's the sad reality, jed. pete: yeah, thin blue line. jedediah: yeah, it is a sad reality. there is another story that we are also following because just moments ago vice president pence boarding air force two in washington. he is heading to texas to discuss the state's coronavirus response with governor greg abbott. it is seeing a surge in covid-19 cases as the u.s. marx another daily record of -- marks another daily record of infections. texas is joining florida in pausing reopening plans. the sunshine state closing bars to curb the spread. vice president postponed his campaign events in florida and arizona over covid-19 concerns. obviously, this is something that we've been following. you're going to see more testing, you're going to see some spiking, and a lot of these politicians, these mayor, these governors and the president and the administration are learning how to navigate these tough waters because you have buzzes that have been -- businesses that have been closed for a very long time that are eager to open. you have some responsible people out there and some irresponsible people, and that's just the way of life. at some point everyone knows life will have to resume. it's just about making sure that those hospitalization numbers stay down and the most vulnerable members of the community are protected, and sometimes that proves very challenging. griff: yeah, miami's mayor says, look, miami is closing its beaches for the fourth of july. take a listen. >> once we started opening particularly restaurants, people started congregating in large numbers. they sort of forgot about the rules. and what we know about this virus is that it's very aggressive in its growth. the other issue is just mass congregations. areas where people congregate massively. and we know that our beaches, particularly during holiday weekends, are areas of mass congregation. it may be true that it's more dangerous inside than it is outside, it's more dangerous to be in places where there's mass congregation. pete: what a genius idea, close the beaches on the fourth of july. we know what sunshine does, what being outdoors, how important that is, yet wear -- check the transcripts, maybe they're there. was he equally draconian in response to protests that happened in miami over the past month? people not social instanciing bg outside? -- distancing, being outside? numbers do lie if you want to manipulate them. we have a spike in cases, what about the increase in testing? if it's younger people being infected and recovering, that's very different than the nursing home disasters in new york state. it's at -- about not overwhelming the hospitals and the death rate. thank god you haven't seen a corresponding increase in death, and the hospitals are not overwhelmed. so that's a good thing, and in order to be able to get back to normal, we have to talk honestly about that. well, joe biden who only talks when he's talking to local media -- certainly not to reporters, it's been over three months, he's still hiding in his basement -- had a campaign event yesterday. there's no video or audio that came from it, but he laid out the three most important things he would tackle on day one as president. he said the coronavirus, the economy and systemic racism is what he laid out. as, you know, you guys know this, there is growing pressure, speculation about who his running mate may be. he's already said it'll be a female, likely now a woman of color. if you remember, top on that list is kamala harris. here's a portion -- and could that marriage actually work,? you had a segment about this earlier. let's remind our viewers about a year ago an exchange they had on the debate stage. >> it was hurtful to hear you talk about the reputation of two united states senators who built their reputation and career on the segregation of race. you also worked with them to oppose busing. finish there's a little girl in california who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools, and she was bussed to school every day. and that little girl was me. pete: jed, do you think they can make a duo out of that nonetheless? jedediah: i know. it's like everyone's buddy-buddy. don't you love that, when politics are on the debate stage calling each other out, and then all of a sudden they're best friends? only in politics, right?

>> yes, i absolutely do. those judges were correct in reprimanding deblahs owe and cuomo -- de blasio and cuomo for their stupidity. there's a clear double standard that exists in their minds between churches and secular institutions, between gatherings of protests and worship. they put the masses over morality as if there's an e endeavor going ford forth in our country and in new york to exclude god from american society while being inclusive of everything else. and it seems as if the democrat party is the driving force behind this mindset, behind this act activity. i think we need to dismantle the democratic party because they are, it seems like they're the proponents and the -- i can't even think of a word. everything that's good in american society, they want to bring in the bad and eliminate the good. how can you threaten parishioners and pastors and the rest, how can you threaten churches with closure, but you stand there with your hands in your pocket and your thumb up your you know what while they loot and pillage and sack the city?

>> the evangelical support for president donald trump is secure. i don't think we've lost many because evangelicals even though we know that the person isn't perfect, we understand that this is probably the most pro-church, pro-god president that we've had in recent memory. and so in looking at the moral values of the conservative movement and deciding which presidential candidate because we have to support somebody. we're going to vote for a candidate. so when you look at the candidate of choice, we think donald trump is the clear favorite for the evangelicals. he hasn't lost any of his support, and we're solidly behind him. give e give yeah. pastor scott, let me just ask you about the demographic because african-americans are very religious, faithful people, and, of course, vice president biden has a strong black support it looks like at this point. and so will some of the church-going crowd slide over to biden despite president trump's position? >> well, you know, to be honest, the black church seems like it's become an arm of the democratic party. there are a number of pastors and leaders in the black church, my colleagues -- and they can get upset if i say this or not, but it seems that they value party over principle as well. they're valuing party and the masses over morality. and so there are members, individual members in the black churches that will vote their conscience and vote for morals and principles over party. but the leadership of the black church en masse, it has become an arm of the democratic party. and it's sad. and, you know, with me, with them being my colleagues, i can make this criticism without being accused of bias. i think some of them need to wake up and get on their knees and go to god and ask god, which of these candidates should i vote for, and which of these candidates more clearly will protect and preserve that which we believe in. you know, it's, clearly, it's president donald trump. pete: pastor darrell scott, we appreciate it. >> thank you, god bless you. pete: bye-bye. jedediah: we're going to turn to some headlines now. thousands of protesters gather in colorado demanding justice in the death of elijah mcclain. >> why are you in riot gear?
