in washington, d.c. congresswoman eleanor holmes norton serves on house committees on oversight and reform as well as the committee on transportation and infrastructure. she and congressman john lewis met before either one of them was lengted to congress they were both part of a nonviolent student group of activist during the civil rightses movement. also with us heron gaston a former intern for congressman john lewis now chaplain at the police department where he's ?angt chief administrative officer also senior pastor of summer field united methodist church in bridgeport. congresswoman norton to you first. you've known john lewis a long time, obviously. it must have come quite a shock when his diagnosis of pancreatic cancer was disclosed. what was your first thought? >> well my first thought was -- of my earliest days with john, of course, john became a member of congress in fact he got to congress a couple of years before i did. but when i heard of john's passing, i didn't think of john as a congressman as distinguished as he was. i thought about our days together as youngsters in the student on violent coordinating committee in a real sense that's why john made his reputation. honored in congress, spoke often into congress, was a chair of a sub committee. but is revered for the risk he took at a time when he could only have been considered a pioneer in nonviolent resistance facing angry mobsing that for which there was no precedent going always into the deepest parts of the south. and making and taking risks without knowing whether he would come out alive. >> congresswoman let me interrupt for just a moment in the military honor guard has brought casket into the church. let's pause for a moment and just listen in. ♪ ♪ jon: i believe piano is playing god bless america and what a beautiful tribute. former intern for john lewis, dr. gaston we've spoken to you in on previous fox reports but your thoughts tonight as the week long celebration of the late congressman's life begins. >> yes. one of the things that i can say that my heart bleeds and it goes out to the entire lewis family and to all of the americans with whom john lewis had an opportunity to touch either personally or whether you've seen him on stage. we're talking about a moral tiger of who gave his entire life to the civil rights movement. and we saw that even in subsequent years he continued down through the years to give selflessly of himself. his time, his talent, his service and his gift to improving the plight of this community and the plight of the american empire and so we owed his family, we owed him a debt of gratitude for his legacy so as iefg been thinking about it over past couple of days i think about how eyes are of the future are looking back at us that they're praying that we can see beyond our own time. and, in fact, we stand on the shoulders of giants like congressman lewis and therefore we have a see sip are reciprocal responsibility and all i can think about is expand his legacy keeping his legacy alive. working on now the systemic issues that plague our community like voter suppression issues, voting rights, police brutal and various legislative reform that will help move america forward and to heal our country right now as we grapple with the racial divide that we have in our country. i think john lewis would be on this side of history in terms of fighting to make us even stronger and better as americans. >> congresswoman, congresswoman hearing -- hearing god bless america play here at this service for congressman john lewis, really striking to me. he really did love, this was the land that he loved and almost gave his life for. i want you to reflect for me as you look at this scene in present day remind us of what it was like when you first met john lewis all of those many years ago in the impact he had on you as a young civil rights activist yourself. >> yes. as i look at that casket with the american flag, i remember a john lewis who was incapable of thinking of himself or else he would not have let us in the ways he did. if there was danger, he would be the first to experience it. and when i was in the valley coordinating the committee the snick as it was called i went in summers it is should be noted that john dropped out of college in order to pursue his nonviolent activities full-time. he was not the first elected chair of the student on violate coordinating committee and mary and barry was the mayor of the district of columbia and i think that says everything about john and maryann. maryann was known even then for his political -- john, of course, was not a born politician. so how did he get to be chair of snick? ultimately, john was lengted chair of snick because the bravest pure and simple because of his courageous example, that was understood to be the chief qualification to lead the violate coordinating committee. >> brave yet humble congresswoman eleanor holmes norton dr. thank you but stay with us as our coverage of the memorial services for congressman john lewis continues. jon: meantime president trump ramping up law and order agenda with federal

john lewis and this is a special edition of the "fox report." it is the bottom of the hour if you're just joining us along with jon scott, and right now as we look at the live pictures there from selma, alabama i want to welcome back our guests, democratic congresswoman d.c. eleanor who'llments norton doctor a former intern for john lewis, is also chaplain for bridgeport, police department are he's the assistant chief administrative officer and he's the senior pastor of summerfield church in city of bridgeport and doctor gaston i want to start with you in the segment here because i would like if you would right now to tell us what do you remember most about the first time you met congressman lewis for the start of your internship? >> well the first time they met congressman lewis i was über excited and i could not believe i was standing in the presence of such moral force. i was excited, and very happy and eager to start the internship and to get to know him deeper and more personal. i was always inspired by what he stood up for inspired by his humility and authenticity i have not met a person on this planet that was as humble and passionate about humanitarian issues as john lewis so i was just fortunate incredibly blessed to sit at his feet to learn from him and to be a student of john lewis and i'm excited that the energy and enthusiasm that was infuseesed and viewed in him is infeck infectious and hold mantle high in moving his agenda and his passions and commitments to expanding voting booth to not just african-americans but hispanic native americans so inkretdably blessed to have been able to learn from him and to gain knowledge. >> congresswoman holmes norton i asked you because you heard mr. gaston talk about his renewed energy. there seems to be renewed energy across the country for the rights of equality. are you galvanized in a way that you hadn't been in a while? or is this a continuing of a torch that has burned inside of you forever? >> i'm going to say that john's passing has compelled us to look at the issues of the day and issues that he cared about. among those, of course, what's sent him into snick was voting rights. tending in the congress today is renewal of the voting rights act. the voting rights act was very effective, but it has run out, and has simply got to be renewed. it's pending to be renewed and i'm hoping that one of the legacies of john lewis will be the renewal of the voting rights act. it's important to note that john led a revolution that produced actual legislation. the stick was student on violate coordinating committee was the civil rights movement. out of that movement, in the early 60s came the 1964 civil rights act, the 1965 voting rights act, and ultimately after the death of martin luther king, jr. the 1968 fair housing act. so you see that it tacks great deal of energy to make change in this country particularly if you want to make stat statutory change in the congress which is a diverse body. so if one is looking for a legacy as i, of course, am, it will not only be yes we can rename the bridge after john. but the voting rights act would be a particularly apt way to remember him for, because if you, if you lean back and think what was john after in the first place? >> yes. >> essentially it was after the right to vote. >> absolutely congresswoman, let's stand by for a moment we want to dip into the church and hear what's happening now. >> what's changed without me really even knowing. you know, i'm so grateful, i feel so grateful to have had that opportunity, terrance, to meet congressman john lewis and dr. martin luther king, jr. and dr. ct in my early life. they have a profound impact on my life and materials of the person that i am today. you know, that only thing that i know that matched john lewis's courage and conscience was his humility. i've never met a man who exemplified such humility and authenticity with continue continuity a man of peace who truly believed in the ministry of nonviolence with a heart of forgiveness. to me seeing as a child and over the 53 years that i have come to know and cross path and know him more and more and be in his midst, he was always the same common man. it was so, he was so common with just that genuine, human element. he looked at, it didn't matter to how, how poor you were or how busy he was. he would always find time to give attention especially to young people in the least of these. he was very approachable and very accommodative. i could remember the many time when is he said if you need me just calm me and i knew he was busy like many others. but the times that i called him at his office, he was very accommodating. he was reliable and reachable. always gravitating to the least of these. he helped me with the little girl even after dr. king's death he helped me to become more courageous and not be afraid to stand up on my own even if i had to stand all by myself. he helped me to understand the power of believing in myself, but never ever allowing it to just be about me. he also helped me to never allow anyone to destroy my ability to excel even when it was hard. my lifetime during those days, it wasn't easy to go to a predominant white school. i had to fight my way through it. but that is what congressman lewis taught me. he taught me never to give up. not only what i believed in. but what i stood for. you know, i have so many, so many fond memories as a little girl being in congressman lewis' presence from then being a child to now. all of us knew about congressman lewis' physical sacrifices on that bloody sunday, march which he was brutally beaten. i was the youngest eight-year-old little girl on that bloody sunday march. i could remember the many times when i was a part of the faith in politics pilgrimage and come to selma, the many times when congressman lewis at the apeck of the bridge will reflect on that and he will always recognize me and sometimes he will ask me or give me the mic because he always liked listening to the story when williams picked me up as i was trying to run home from that march and i looked and said put me down. you are not running fast enough. many memories. but? there are two and i'm going to have a seat. memories that i'll never forget. about congressman lewis -- i remember when he helped me to get to washington, d.c. to meet president clinton and hillary clinton. he made sure that i had that opportunity to go to washington and meet them, michael. another time, just with john being the person that he was. my mother had passed, and as we were getting ready to get in the limousine cars, i received a phone call. i picked the phone up, and i answered that call. and it was congressman lewis on the phone. and he said to me, i just heard about the news of your mother's passing, diane. and i just wanted to call you to give you my condolences and let you know that everything is going to be all right. you just continue in her footsteps, and stay in her legacy and stay strong as she was, and it really helped me to get through that funeral. so many memories that i have of my friend, congressman lewis. but as i go to my seat, if all of us are going to honor his life and his legacy, we must always embrace his principles. we must always stand up for what is right. we must stop complaining and find something good to do. get in the way as he will often say and do. some good works and get in good trouble. it's time for all of us, the young, the old, whatever age, whatever color you may be. it's time for all of us to become partners and ambassadors for social change in a cultural of injustice. but if we don't do anything else, as i heard him say on this last march, march of 2020, as he stood there he said if we don't do anything else, we've got to vote. we've got to fight like we've never voted and fought before. thank you john lewis. thank you. thank you for giving me what i needed at a young age to become the person that i am today. [applause] >> that was civil rights activist cheyenne remembering john lewis as a younger girl at the age of eight as a grown woman. we'll be right back. it's not just fund fees that matter. fund taxes matter too. every time a fund manager sells a stock it triggers a tax liability for you. and the higher the turnover the more you have to pay in taxes every year. and here's the worst part, because of high turnover, you actually might have to pay taxes even if the fund itself loses money. that's why you want to own low turnover funds whenever possible. the less you pay in fund fees, the less you pay in taxes, the more wealth you can accumulate... the less you pay in fund fees, the less you pay in taxes, what if you can have direct access to certified personal what doesecurity

governments. kitty logan has more from london. >> jon well tensions between beijing and washington continues to mount and, of course, this tit for tat closure is a very serious escalation. the chinese government ordered u.s. consulate to close on saturday. side appear to be preparing to leave the building amid chinese media reports they have 72 hours to get out. it is thought there are around 200 employees working there. china had been threatening to respond to the closure of it consulate in houston and this appears to be a direct reaction to that. president trump had ordered the continent to shut by late friday afternoon soon after that deadline a door forced open by u.s. law enforcement officials. the u.s. government says this building was being used for espionage and lynched chinese agents trying to steal medical research in texas. china denied these allegations, it says that enforced closure of its consulate breaks an international agreement. the continent they say is chinese property. but chinese continent were seen driving away from build later on friday relations between the u.s. and china have broken down as a several issues in recent times. one, of course, is the coronavirus outbreak which began in wuhan in china. president trump has blamed the government in beijing over the handling of it. but, of course, there are other major points of disagreement between u.s. and china such as over international trade. no one knows exactly what's going to happen next. jon. jon: kitty logan in london. thank you. >> jon back to school season approaches, and many uncertainties remain. some states are falling in line with the trump administrations recommendations of in person learning while elsewhere schools are preparing to be totally remote. parents across

virginia are saying students will not be going back to school in person full-time or even part-time next month instead all will be going back to school online. much the eye of some parents say this goes against the new cdc guidelines. one parent we spoke to says this is all about the teachers union and a knee jerk reaction putting politics above science. >> this has nothing to do with our children at all. this is using a politicize education for their benefit and a political gain in an election year which is absolutely disgusting that we put our kids futures in jeopardy for a political decision. here in fairfax county schools have a budget of $3 billion dollar this is year angry parents here across the country saying isn't good enough for their kids and cdc director agrees said in a new guidelines kritly important to open schools in person this fall. the white house covid task force says it is still in open question how rapidly children under ten spread the virus. but the new cdc guidance says young children are less likely to spread it and less likely to experience serious symptoms. cdc says that seasonal flu remain the greatest risk work to our kids not the coronavirus. dr. fauci said the science is not settled when it comes to kids in schools. >> i think we need to start off with a little humility and say we don't know all of the answers to that right now that's for sure. studies are coming out. across the country many parents are concerned how they're gong to get back to work and educate their kids now that some will be at home five days week. in fairfax county,

as the conscience of the congress is being celebrated at a memorial service in selma, alabama at the a & e church. reporter: when you look at video from 55 years ago at the non-violent march of 600 people who wanted voting rights. you can see john lewis in the front. he has his hands in his pockets and he knew what was coming. he said he saw a sea of blue. he was knocked off lunch counters and off buses when he sat in whites only seats. >> he represented his catapult forward as we deal with the issues we are facing now and the social unrest. for him it seemed something to know that his legacy is continuing fighting for civil rights. reporter: it's not easy to understand how a man arrested 45 times and beaten was able to hold to that principle of non-violence. and just how effective the protests were. within one year nashville became the first city in the south where whites and blacks could eat together, so they were effective. jon: that's how fox reports on this saturday, july 25 of 2020. i'm jon scott. arthel: i'm arthel neville. thanks for joining us. we'll see you tomorrow. [♪] [♪] jess are * welcome to "watters world." i'm jesse watters. democrats would rather fight trump than fight crime. to democrats they think trump is the real criminal. democrats can't confront crime and violence, they don't want to. fighting trump through the media makes them look better. chicago has turned into a war zone and murder is skyrocketing. >> 53 people were shot last weekend, 12 were murdered. jesse: the pandemic and joblessness are squeezing profits out of the drug game, so people are squeezing triggers. left-wing mayor lightfoot says under no circumstances will i allow donald trump's troops to come to chicago and terrorize our residents. residents are already being tear rides -- being -- -- terrorized. these aren't trump's troops. they worked under barack obama. they are from the dea, and the u.s. marshal service. bill barr is sending more to chicago, so don't be so ungrateful. they will apprehend gang bankers, take illegal guns off the streets and work ballistics at gun scenes. the mayor needs her head checked if she doesn't think she needs help from the president. she is at war with the gang bangers. last week the mob stormed grant park to topple a statue of christopher columbus. >> here is a gentleman dumping out weapons of things to throw at the police. and they start throwing things at the police standing on the statue. you see frozen water bottles, frozen cans of different substances, rocks, explosive device, and here comes the pvc with the banner that was broken apart and jabbed at the officers. the sergeant in the white shirt walking away holding his eye after that explosive device blew up in his eye right there. here is more incendiary devices thrown at the officers. jesse: unlike the smollett hoax, these crimes had real victims. >> 49 police officers were injured. 18 of whom were sent to area hospitals for their injuries. and they had broken eye sockets due to a thrown projectile as well as a broken kneecap. jesse: you saw little coverage of that on the nightly news because they don't report the news. they report their narrative. their narrative is police brutality. you are being lied to so trump looses. >> we don't want to believe people would act this way towards us. that they would take advantage of our sacred rights, the first amendment. but now i have ordered all of our officers to wear and all protective gear. jesse: once police slap on the riot gear to protect themselves, the media called them militarized. but the anarchists didn't return the favor. the mob showed up at the mayor's block. police were called to protect the mayor's house. politicians will protect themselves but they won't protect their own people. she came to the mob and re -- she caved to the mob and removed the statue. the mob is losing to itself. portland, oregon taking a beating. there has been mayhem for 60 straight days. it's not just knockouts like this. anarchists trying to take over a federal courthouse. the hatfield courthouse is a federal courthouse that you pay for. hatfield was a possible rift. portland anarchists set fire to the federal building. shot commercial grade fireworks at officers. blinded officers with lasers. used cars as weapons, assaulted agents and smuggled in pipe bombs. here is a small taste of the action. the congressman who represents portland condemned the violence and asked for federal aid. just kidding. he said portland is not out of control. >> portland, oregon is not out of control. to be sure there are some people with strong feeling and some who are done things that are inappropriate and unlawful. but that's the challenge of our local and state officials to manage it. jesse: here is why the feds are involved. a federal building is under attack. the department of homeland security has agents defending every federal building in every city. they wear uniforms that say fts. they aren't trump's troops. they worked under barack obama, too. they protect judges and courthouses. they even protect department of education buildings. democrats are calling american law enforcement officials nazis. >> these are storm troopers under the guise of law and order. it's a tactic that is not appropriate to our country in any way. >> this attorney general seems to be doing everything they possibly can to impose gestapo activities in local communities. >> this is a democracy, not a deck --not a dictatorship. we can't have secret police abducting people and putting them in unmarked vehicles. jesse: that refers to mitt letter's goon squads in nazi germany. it's gone too far. we are calling on them to apologize now to them for calling them nazis. keep it classy. but these are public officials who crossed the line. by the way. when someone commits a federal crime like they are doing in portland. they need to be arrested. what's the democrats' position? you can light a federal building on fire and get away with it. mayor wheeler wants all federal agents out of portland. the left put federal agents into the trump campaign but they don't want federal agents in portland. trump is the real enemy, right? they deal with iranian mullahs, but they don't deal with trump. mayor wheeler tried to walk the streets and got a wake-up call. nobody likes you any more, wheeler. you are the west coast deblasio. the radicals hate you because it hasn't burned hot enough. the democrats are losing. riding a crime wave to victory in november won't work. look at what they are doing now. imagine what they will do if they lose. the media knows it doesn't look good so they are spinning like crazy. here is an actual cnn headline. crime is surging in some cities. some say defunding the police will actually make it fall. i wonder what happens when you run out of hoaxes. over 100 days away from the election and i guess we'll find out. ben shapiro, host of the ben shapiro show and the author of the new book "how to destroy america in three easy steps." do you think the left is winning the culture war? >> they set up a narrative where they can blame anything chaotic on them. i think they can get away with it for a while and bank on the fact that people might not like trump enough that they will blame dem what is democratic cities. jesse: what do you think will happen to the culture when you are burning down federal buildings. assaulting police officers. calling them nazis. what does that do to the fabric of the society. >> no nation cannot survive that does not share a history, and a culture. they want to get rid of the history, philosophy and culture of the united states making it a worse place every single day. there is only one thing holding back the raiblg that will react to this by the american public. that is because joe biden has run a campaign of being a dead person who doesn't take on controversial things. if president trump is able to point out that biden is a transitional figure then trump has an election campaign to win. jesse: do you think biden knows what he's doing by kissing bernie's ring? or do you think it's naked political power grabs he's pulling off? >> i think biden is smart enough to try to make sure his left flank is insured. so the same time the left flank is saying take down the statues of columbus, he's staying quiet. if asked he will say i think we should keep the statues up. he will say i'm not in favor of defunding the police, i'm just in favor of shifting the funding which is defunding the police. he's more and more embracing the radical left. jesse: he only has to answer tough questions about once every three weeks. that's because the media doesn't care. you have a new book out, "how to destroy america in three easy steps." you are not going to have this become some sort of manifesto where anarchists read this and start taking action. tell me why you wrote the book? >> i wrote it in december and january. we live in the most prosperous, free and tolerant country in the history of mankind. and it looks like americans want a divorce. our philosophy, culture and history. i juxtaposed two visions of the country rooted in the declaration of independence and the constitution with a culture that values entrepreneurship and rights. and a history that recognizes that america has always been great. we have not always lived up to our founding ideals, but the story of america is an attempt to live up to those ideals over time. then the other believe that america's philosophy is a lie. that it's actually a culture of bigotry. it's just in the last few weeks the book started to turn into prophecy. jesse: lucky you, maybe not lucky, but at least in terms of book sales. the professors at universities, that's why you are seeing this younger generation so violent. a good read. thank you, ben. >> thanks so much. jesse: social media giants are banning q on the internet. barack obama plunging into the presidential race. later, a "watters world" look at kanye west. [♪] (vo) the time is coming for us to get out and go again. to visit all the places we didn't know meant so much. but we're all going at our own speed. at enterprise, peace-of-mind starts with our complete clean pledge, curbside rentals and low-touch transactions. with so many vehicles of so many kinds, you can count on us to help you get everywhere you want to go... again. whenever you're ready, we're ready for you. enterprise. the first and only full prescription strength non-steroidal anti-inflammatory gel available over-the-counter. new voltaren is powerful arthritis pain relief in a gel. voltaren. the joy of movement. in a highly capable lexus suv. at the golden opportunity sales event. get zero percent financing on all 2020 lexus models. experience amazing at your lexus dealer. iredefined the wordng on ath'school' this year. it's why, at xfinity, we're committed to helping kids keep learning through the summer. and help college students studying at home stay connected through our university program. we're providing affordable internet access to low income families through our internet essentials program. and this summer, xfinity is creating a virtual summer camp for kids at home- all on xfinity x1. we're committed to helping all families stay connected. learn more at xfinity.com/education. jesse: joe biden leaving his basement to join forces with barack obama. a socially distanced chat between two friends while taking swipes at president trump. >> when said it's not my responsibility. i take no responsibility. >> those words didn't come out of our mouths while we were in office. >> i don't understand the inability to get a sense of what people are going through. he can't relate in any way. jesse: biden is hoping his old boss will help him win in november. but arresting in his basement for a month he can't get through a speech without a gaffe or weird things coming out of his mouth. >> we have racists and they tried to get elected president. and the first one has. wearing a mask is not a political statement. this is patriotic. why do you wear the mask? so you don't make somebody else sick. what's with this guy? >> thank you for listening. i look forward to having your questions at another time. i'm off to another event. i'm not joe biden's husband, i'm joe biden. jesse: these guys talk about accepting responsibility. i think the entire first team barack obama had it was bush's fault. he's never been good at continueout when he's not on the -- good at turnout when he's not on the ticket. he's the reason your dad was elected in the first place. >> you are right. everything was bush's fault. how daring he is to come out of his basement to have an interview with his budding sitting on the couch. you had joe biden call arizona a city. it's wonderful to be with you from the great city of arizona. he won't take questions or answer questions. he's not sitting down with interviews with the likes of chris wallace. he's literally accosted on the stable when he does these white house briefings. this guy is literally reading off a preselected list of journalists. oh, yes, i would like to have my friends from my hometown of wilmington. give me a break. it's almost arrogant that he's making this much of a mockery of the u.s. election. jesse: he's not running for office, he's slowly walking. some of the interesting things going on in terms of censorship and funny business now, q, i guess the conspiracy deal on the internet. twitter eliminated about 7,000 accounts, 100,000 accounts are in the cross-hairs. do you think this is an attempt to interfere in an election. q can do some crazy stuff with the pizza stuff but they uncovered a lot of great stuff when it comes to epstein and the deep state. i never saw q as dangerous as antifa. and antifa gets to run wild on the internet. >> adam schiff and eric swalwell, they do crazy stuff. in silicon valley, 22 years old. a tech savant. he's running twitter or one of these companies. and he literally has his finger on the button of a presidential elect. you have people in the country walking around with an iphone or some device. 50% of america has an iphone. he time they pop on to twitter or apple news they are spoon fed a message that's cur curated by someone in silicon valley. "the washington post," jeff bezos wants it. any time he wants a good story for amazon, if he wants a senator to do something for him. he puts them on the front page and writes a glowing story about them. they are literally putting their finger on the scales of a u.s. election. it's fundamentally not right when you have the first amendment right of freedom of speech in this country. jesse: for those of you who can't afford fox news, eric said he will pay for everybody's cable so they can watch "watters world." the things they are funding, the riots, the censorship, the media antagonism against your dad. impeachment. he single time they have thrown the kitchen sink at him, he comes back and wins. are people sleeping on him again? the polls, he's down. but he always does. will this be consistent? >> first of all, they are oversampling democrats. they did the same thing in 2016. in aattempt to squash fundraising. my father is going to win this thing. but this is the game set they play. this is their playbook. we saw this 2016 and russia didn't work and ukraine didn't work. by the way, i'm shocked. it's been three weeks and they haven't had a salacious scandal. maybe the democrats are getting tired or they are sick of losing. there is only so many times you can cry wolf before you lose credibility with america. jesse: eric trump, paying for your cable bill and predicting a win in november. a judge ruled secret documents involving jeffrey epstein will be released. we'll tell you what could be in them. jackie: live from "america's news headquarters." i'm jackie ibanez in new york. louis -- john louis lies in state in selma. sunday he will lie in state at the state capitol with an outside viewing due to the coronavirus. 60 days after the death of george floyd, protests sparked basis tellic racism have returned violent. president trump sent federal officials to protect property. nancy pelosi comparing them to storm troopers. jackie ibanez now back to "watters world." jesse: the president reviving his task forms for coronavirus. >> the president had a lot of happy talks on therapeutics and vaccines. >> an overly rosie picture on testing. >> you heard a different tone from the president probably because of his low poll numbers. >> the president is downplaying the resurgence we are seeing right now. somewhat is your medical opinion based on what is politically proper. he's trying to find whatever means he can to turn this around for himself. jesse: that was all fake. what the president is focused on is getting americans back to work and kids back to school safely. president trump: we believe many school districts can re-open safely provided they implement mitigation measures based on the data and facts on the ground in each community. every district should be making preparations to open. i hope local leaders put the full health and well-being of their students first and make the right decision for children, parents, teachers and not make political decisions. this isn't about politics. jesse: before we get to everything. i want to play nancy pelosi calling the virus the trump virus. listen. >> he recognized the mistakes that he had made by now embracing mask wearing. and the recognition this is not a hoax. it's a pandemic that has gone the worse before it will get better because of his inaction and it's sad clearly it is the trump virus. jesse: calling it the china virus is offensive, but trump virus is okay. when you hear the media denigrate the president when he's trying to communicate information about the virus and businesses and hospitals and children going back to school. do you any that has a detrimental effect on americans' ability to keep themselves safe and clean? >> i think the president's briefings this week were excellent. i think it's obvious to everyone, there is a focus on the data. they are closely monitoring the situation. there is no need for panic. as he said in his own way, he understands, i believe, it's obvious when you have a contagious disease and you do social relaxation and opening there is going to be more cases. but he emphasized a strong focus on protecting the high his can people. a strong focus on sending resources on what are necessary to the high-risk population. that's the goal of policy. a careful monitoring of hospitals to make sure they are not overcrowd. and even though there is no significant overcrowding in any of the states, the federal government will be there to help with capacity. jesse: is this the strategy? is this everybody wears masks, everybody washes their hands and social distances while they go about their normal lives as best they can. and the older population, they remain quarantined and separate from everybody as much as possible until we have a vaccine. is that the deal? >> i think it's not exactly that, if i may correct you. one thing the president did have much is he outlined and he's season tough to the harms of the lockdown. this should have been emphasized from day one when people start and continue to insist on lockdowns. you can't do public policy that way and he understands that. in terms of the mask issue, it was a sensible policy that when you cannot social distance, and particularly if you are high risk, it's reasonable to wear a mask. it's important to wear a mask. and relatively speaking that's consistent with what was said from the white house before. jesse: you think he looks good with the mask? he called himself the lone ranger. i got negative emails when i did a pro mask segment. some people think it's crazy, i just think it's smart. the deal with opening schools. you don't want it to be a petri dish. are kids able to transmit the disease to family members or to the older population or is this something we don't have to worry about as much. as we have seen, there hasn't been a larger outbreak afterwards. >> you are highlighting something that's important and hasn't been established. children are not significant spreaders of this to adults. there is no evidence to show children are significant spreaders. it's not that they cannot spread. it's that it isn't a significant pathway. about schools opening. it's proven that children are at extremely low risk from this disease. number two, the harms for closing schools to children are very serious, not just the long distance learning disaster disaster, but there is all kinds of harm outlined by the cdc in their documents. there is nothing more important to this country than educating our children. if you are not opening schools, then you are not for children. icing on the cake is that children don't transmit it. as the president mentioned of course it's reasonable to have the local community dictate school policy. that's what the united states does. jesse: opening schools is a local issue with parents involved. doing that is pro children, it's not anti-children despite what nancy pelosi says. dr. atlas, thank you again for your expertise. secret documents about jeffrey epstein ordered released by a judge. shocking behavior by kanye west this week. facing leaks takes strength. so here's to the strong, who trust in our performance and comfortable, long-lasting protection. because your strength is supported by ours. depend. the only thing stronger than us, is you. jesse: a federal judge opening the floodgates in the jeffrey epstein case. including a 418-page deposition from epstein's alleged madame. the flight losing from epstein's private jet. police reports from palm beach and a list of names. hundreds of people with ties to the convicted pedophile. the case was confidentially settled in 2017. this comes as another judge refused to block a gag order request from epstein's attorney. joining me now, the author of "a convenient death, the demise of jeffrey epstein." the deposition looks like a treasure trove of information when you look at the flight logs. additional witness testimony requests from including former president bill clinton. what do you expect to see from these 416 pages? >> i think it will be exceptionally embaifersing for ghislaine maxwell who was already humiliated. now her sex life becomes public. maxwell has been humiliated, but some of these people haven't. some of them haven't admitted to wrongdoing. just of course if they had a relationship with her didn't mean they did wrongdoing. but they tied her to a sex offender and i think we'll get excruciating details that will become tabloid fodder. i think it will touch on people in politics, finance, not just in america but in her home country of great britain. jesse: as you report in your book, she allegedly had an affair with bill clinton. the 2016 deposition, names included new mexico governor bill richardson, billion pair glenn duben. an m.i.t. scientist, george mitchell. there is something interesting in your book. you know, something about some sort of orgy that bill clinton actually said no to. do you think something like that would come out in a deposition? >> definitely. i think there will be embarrassing details. this is the kind of thing that got him in trouble the first go-round when he was in violence. there was a violence against women act. and he was accused of sexual harassment by paula jones. and his own history became part of that court case, and that's how we found out about monica lewinsky. once you start opening up -- once you start opening up people's lives it becomes intensely, intimate, and personal. jesse: and humiliating. when you are in a deposition, you are under oath. allegedly she tells the truth. we'll follow that when that is released. thank you very much. now you can go back to vacation. is kanye west sick? was this week a publicity stunt? or is he making sense? the politics and phenomenon of kanye under the microscope. >> i don't give a [bleep] because god has a plan for us. trump, biden, kanye west [inaudible] jesse: kanye west at his first campaign rally in south carolina. but this personal revelation reportedly ignited a firestorm among his family. >> my wife [inaudible] brought north into the world even when i didn't want to. jesse: following those comments kanye returned to twitter. including this one suggesting he wanted to divorce kim and laying into her mom, chris jenner. they tried to fly in with two doctors. i have been trying to get divorced since kim met with meek for prison reform. fox news contributor, raymond arroyo. kanye's biggest fan. they say he has bipolar disorder. he could have an impact. he could be selling records. where do you fall in the kanye spectrum. >> there is the charlotte bronte quote from a madman, i am not mad. this could be a reality show. but in between the madness and in between the bipolar episode and kris kardashian's back and forth with him. i think we are left with a guy who is screaming out the truth in between all of this. what he's saying is it's a cry for political under even and a pro-life message. he came out like john the baptist screaming about abortion and what happened to the black community. the next thing you kno -- you k, planned parenthood disavowed itself from their racist founder. the next one, "jesus is king," that makes him a dangerous commodity. so this broke on friday. nick salmon, the guy smirking in front of the native american. everybody said he was a racist, provocative guy. he settled the details with "the washington post." but i think sandmann can buy himself as many maga hats as he wants now. it was the smirk heard around the world. >> the guys maga hats. pro-lifers. one whose album is about to drop. nick sandmann, the media claimed what he was being racially inflammatory with this indian protester. the settlements, $800 million in total. and with lin wood he will have more. jesse: wray mond arroyo -- raymond arroyo. thanks. up next, "last call." experience the adventure of a bigger world in a highly capable lexus suv at the golden opportunity sales event. lease the 2020 nx 300 for $339 a month for 36 months. experience amazing at your lexus dealer. experience amazing ♪ to visit all the places we didn't know meant so much.s to get out and go again. but we're all going at our own speed. at enterprise, peace-of-mind starts with our complete clean pledge, curbside rentals and low-touch transactions. with so many vehicles of so many kinds, you can count on us to help you get everywhere you want to go... again. whenever you're ready, we're ready for you. enterprise. all the way out here just for a blurry photo of me. oh, that's a good one. wait, what's that? that's just the low-battery warning. oh, alright. now it's all, "check out my rv," and, "let's go four-wheeling." maybe there's a little part of me that wanted to be seen. well, progressive helps people save when they bundle their home with their outdoor vehicles. so they've got other things to do now, bigfoot. wait, what'd you just call me? bigfoot? ♪ my name is daryl. jesse: baseball is back. diehard nationals fan anthony fauci throwing out the first pitch. let's just say he flattened the curve. >> dr. an thony fauci. jesse: can we please see that again? that was brutal. president trump has thrown out the first pitch at yankee stadium august 15. the last president who did that was w after 9/11 and that was straight over the plate. no pressure, mr. president, we'll be watching. i am sure it will be better than fauci. be sure to follow me on facebook, insta dwram and twitter. "justice with judge jeanine" is next. remember i'm watters and this is my world. judge jeanine: you have 100 days to save this country. as you watched the attempted destruction of this great nation, yes, i said great nation, you probably felt like you were watching violence lay out in a third world country. but this kind of thing doesn't happen in the united states. well, i have got news for you. elect the wrong person and it's coming to your city. as this plays out with 100 days left before the presidential election, the question is simple. do you want someone to fight for the peaceful america you
