gears chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel. >> combating covid-19, many americans have found the virus and methods to deal with it complicated and confusing but what about costly? the u.s. government is already spent trillions on covid relief, adding to a federal debt that exceeds the size of the entire u.s. economy. the federal budget deficit was about $1.9 trillion in the first eight months of fiscal year 2020, $1.2 trillion more than at the same time last year. estimates from the manhattan institute claim that added costs and declining revenue stemming from covid-19 will produce a 2020 budget deficit of $4.2 trillion. >> certainly is a very big problem. >> many experts agree that what congress did the right thing, particularly for struggling businesses, our financial path was out of control well before this. >> we kind of spent recklessly during the last two decades or so and got ourselves in a position where we didn't have the room to handle a big crisis like this. in the middle of the crisis, that's not the time to worry about the debt but the day of reckoning will come. >> what might that reckoning look like? some have theorized that inflation can be lurking in the short term or that future generations could be saddled with impossible debts. >> our children, if you don't actually take serious measures after this is over, are going to be saddled with more debt. slower economic growth, higher taxes which leads to look slower economic growth but a lot of programs that are left that create disincentive to actually invest, save, and produce and that is a real problem. >> back in may, my colleague bret baier asked president trump when enough would be enough. >> $25 trillion in debt as of today and there's more on the burner possibly coming down the pipe, what's the number? >> we are going to cut back very substantially and have great growth, this country's going to grow like crazy as soon as we get it going and we will start making our product here. >> the chair of the federal reserve was recently asked about the source of funds? >> what does this come from, do you just printed? >> we printed digitally, as a central bank we have the ability to create money digitally and we do that by buying treasury bills or bonds. or other government guaranteed securities and debt increases the money supply. we also print actual currency and distribute that through the federal reserve banks. >> democrats have also defended the recent spending. >> what we're talking about now is about a stimulus to our economy at a time where people are crippled with concern about their physical well-being as well as their economic well-being. >> what about after the crisis is over, will the government have implement and vast new programs that can never be clawed back? that's what happened nearly a century ago when the great depression spawned expensive institutions like the tennessee valley authority, crop subsidies and amtrak that are still with us today. from 1929-1941, the u.s. saw debt rise from $16.9 billion to almost $49 billion, an increase of 189%. >> based on history we know while some of these measures are going to be scaled back when the crisis is over, a lot of them won't and as a result, the size of government will be bigger and permanently bigger than it was both for this crisis happened. >> the situation is, however, different from the recession that wreaked havoc on the u.s. economy just over a decade ago. >> this is not a one that is created by too little demand, this is one that is created by the fact that we have a pandemic and we are encouraging people not to consume. >> as businesses begin to reopen, economists believe we can avoid some of those impacts, wider effects of continued unabated spending. >> the u.s. global position, the ceo already said we are heading toward 180% gdp debt by 2050, with the pandemic we could be easily going towards 200% gdp. a very substantial change in our global position. >> the deficit between if affected revenue and spending will require significant bipartisan cooperation in a sharply divided washington, that is expected to be a significant challenge. bret?

the president says he wants to bring it to an end. byron york, chief political correspondent of the "washington examiner," julie pace, washington bureau chief for the associated press and i think we have steve hayes, editor of "the dispatch." the president is saying this can't go on but the mayor doesn't seem like it's an urgent matter. >> no, the mayor thinks it can go on, this is an outrageous situation but i think what's really interesting about it is the president realizes that this is a problem but the mayor of the city and governor of the state don't seem to have any problem with it, the police chief does, by the way, we played earlier a quote of her saying that it's lead to police response time which is going to end badly in some situations so it's an extraordinary situation i think a lot of americans would be on president trump's side but as we also learned during the coronavirus, lockdowns are decisions that governors and local leaders make, really not the president's decision, what goes on in this autonomous zone in seattle. >> julie, i guess the question around the country is if it happened there, it could happen in my city? could have been downtown whatever on what would happen on the state and local level it that did. >> this is ultimately a state and local issue and we've been in this discussion for the last couple weeks about what the federal role here is. when you have a situation like this or some of the protests elsewhere that we've seen, this did get violent and ultimately when it comes to whether the federal government can step in and use active duty military, we saw the side the pentagon came down on with that, saying it's not something that he's particulaparticularly comfortabh except as a matter of last resort, i think this is probably a situation at the moment that is a bit unique to seattle, we haven't seen this popping up in any other cases and i think for the most part people seem to understand that even if this moment, we are debating the role of law enforcement i think most people understand that you have to find a way, i don't think were going to end up in a lot of situations where the police are going to be abandoning cities or that a lot of people are going to be wanting police to abandon cities. >> bret: steve, i guess this is a little different, remember occupy wall street and there was all that effort and -- but this seems like the city and even the state is saying, you know what, do your thing. >> it's different. >> it certainly seems like that, the mayor -- apology for the lafayette square incident, to the polling that we've seen, his tweet about the buffalo protester, this has been a really rough week for president trump, i'm sure you'd like to talk nothing more than about these protesters taking over a major chunk of seattle. >> bret: yeah, speaking of that, here is general milley and the president reacting to that back and forth. >> i should not have been there. my presence in that moment and in that environment created a perception of the military involved in domestic politics. as a commissioned, uniformed officer it was a mistake that i have learned from. and i sincerely hope we all can learn from it. >> i think it was a beautiful picture and i think christians think it was a beautiful picture, i think that's fine. i have good relationships with the military, i rebuilt our military. >> bret: byron, thoughts? >> well i think there's a couple things here, the lafayette square matter itself and i do think the president certainly had the right to do what he did going to basically inspect the situation after protesters had set fire to a historic church not far away. the fact that the protesters were peaceful does not mean they can block the entire city. on the other hand on the participation of general milley i can certainly understand his concerns about that and it would've been better if he wasn't there so i think the president was probably right to say well, that's fine if they feel that way. >> bret: finally there is this effort not only statues and the housekeepers talked about that but bringing down and changing the names of some of the u.s. military bases tied to confederate heroes, here is nancy pelosi on that issue. >> american people know these names have to go. these names are white supremacist that said terrible things about our country, this is over 100 years -- after world war ii, some of these names were given to these bases. >> bret: now this isn't the first time there's been an effort to change these names, npr had a report that this isn't the first time there's been a call to change the names of army bases. in 2015 after white supremacist dylan roof slaughtered black worshipers at carolina church, the pentagon was pressed to remove the names of confederate generals from its facilities. the army wouldn't budge, these represented specific individuals, not causes or ideologies and it should be noted in of the naming occurred in the spirit of wreck and so do reconciliation, not division. it does seem different, the push seems greater now, do use sense of this is going to lead to bigger changes? >> >> i think certainly there is a desire among overly broad spectrum of people to re-examine this right now, just ask the question, is this the right thing, the right way to recognize our history? i don't like anybody is talking about wiping away that history but is it the right way to be recognizing that history? president trump has come down and said he does not want to take that step although he is increasingly an outlier, the pentagon in another example of where the pentagon does seem to be on the different side here with top military leaders saying they are at least open to having this discussion. >> bret: yeah, steve, quickly, this is a big story and will continue to be, about where does this go? where does it go, where does it stop? >> it will be a big story. look, some of the monuments and some of the buildings were not named in the spirit of reconciliation, in fact they were named in the spirit of provocation and i think it's far beyond time to have the buildings renamed. i think you will hope that we would do this in the spirit of deliberation and conversation, i suspect that's probably not the way this will unfold. >> bret: we will follow it either way. panel, standby. next outcome of the friday lightning round, plus, winners and losers. ♪ ies before they worry about their insurance or credit card bills. discover all the ways we're helping members today. or credit card bills. i but what i do count on...ts anis boost high protein...rs, and now, there's boost mobility... ...with key nutrients to help support... joints, muscles, and bones. try boost mobility, with added collagen. i have the power to lower my blood sugar and a1c. because i can still make my own insulin. and trulicity activates my body to release it like it's supposed to. once-weekly trulicity is for type 2 diabetes. it's not insulin. it starts acting from the first dose. and it lowers risk of heart attack, stroke, or death in people with known heart disease or multiple risk factors. trulicity isn't for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. don't take trulicity if you're allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have an allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, changes in vision, or diabetic retinopathy. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. taking trulicity with sulfonylurea or insulin raises low blood sugar risk. side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, belly pain, and decreased appetite, which lead to dehydration and may worsen kidney problems. we're committed to helping ensure trulicity is available and affordable. learn more at trulicity.com. >> he's having a rally on juneteenth in arizona and guess what, all the people coming to the rallies have to say if they get covid in this, they won't sue the campaign. come on, man. >> bret: the campaigns are moving forward and the trump campaign is going to oklahoma, not arizona but they are moving forward. meantime, the convention has been moved to jacksonville, florida, where the renomination will happen for the president but there will be some business in charlotte, north carolina, we are back with the panel. byron, what about this move by the republicans, hurt north carolina in the business area? >> certainly it will, it will be a much scaled-down republican presence in charlotte as they do some of their business there, the idea of moving this is pretty audacious, it's june 12 and this thing is going to happen in late august, the parties plan these things for years. on the other hand as far as the virus is concerned, the country is much more open today than it was a month ago and this is more than two months away so hopefully the republicans will be able to stage an event there without there being a danger to participants. >> bret: julie, there are some people piping up, many health experts are saying it's tough to watch campaign events come back into form with a lot of people, they didn't really pipe up on all these protests are happening around the country, seems like it's an interesting dichotomy. >> look, certainly, from a public health standpoint anytime you have people coming into a big group no matter what purpose they are coming for, there's going to be some level of risk, i think that's fairly obvious at this point. we've had public health officials telling us about the rallies, but particularly convention, a convention in particular, the idea is you take people from all over the country and bring them into one concentrated place, then they leave and they go back all around the country and so the potential for a spread not just in one community about really broadly is certainly higher when you add that kind of dynamic with so much travel involved in it. >> bret: all right, real, real clear politics average has this, joe biden up a little more than eight points, the average of recent polls. there's a lot of time yet, do you think the president can turn the poll percentage around? >> yeah, look, if you look at what's happened over the past several months, the extent that people are paying attention to politics, they're paying attention to a set of issues that is sort of playing on joe biden's home turf if you will so it's not surprising. i think you combine that with unsteady leadership from the president in the midst of the coronavirus, the briefings that i think turned off some people and i think several missteps over the past several weeks, it's not surprising that is lagging. joe biden hasn't been very threatening on the campaign trail, i think when he is it will give donald trump and his campaign want to punch back out. >> bret: yeah. all right, let's do a quick winners and losers, your first winner and then loser. >> my winner is senator tom cotton, all he did was right on mainstream op-ed for "the new york times" but ended up causing the times editorial board to self-destruct. very revealing about the state of modern journalism. the loser is christopher columbus. at least three statues of the great explorer have been destroyed in recent days. but remember, the real losers here are the people who are doing the destroying. >> all right, julie, winner and loser. >> my winner is the black lives matter movement, a group that -- a couple years ago was seen as pretty divisive and even extreme in some cases, a movement that is now gone very much mainstream, you're seeing that phrase brought up everywhere from mitt romney to nascar to the nfl right now. my loser, the state of georgia really had a lot of problems with voting earlier this week, a state that is poised to be a big general election battleground and have a lot higher turnout in november to grapple with. >> bret: all right, lightning, here we go. winner or loser? >> my loser is mayor durkin of seattle for obvious reasons. my winner is tim scott who has emerged as a strong spokesperson for republican, he's a spokesperson for a republican party, the better the republican party will do. >> bret: all right, panel, thank you very much. make a great weekend, we will see you. when we come back, another week closed. hey it's me, lily from at&t. i'm back working from home and here to help. hey lily, i'm hearing a lot about 5g. should i be getting excited?

"notable quotable's" and he did not deserve to die over $20, is that what a black man is worth. $20. >> until know the price for black life is the same for the price of white life, we will keep coming back to the situations over and over again. >> our history is the greatest nation in the world will not be tampered with. [screaming] >> masks can help, but it is masks plus physical separation. what we are seeing now is just an example of the kinds of things we were concerned about. >> they took over a city. a big city, seattle. a big chunk, can't happen. to speak of the president is going to try to steal the election. >> holding the entire police structure responsible for the actions of certain officers is wrong. >> this is insane by someone in minneapolis! it still has a shine on it. >> live tv and "cops" canceled. "paul patrol" is on the chopping block too. >> we need on order. >> he is the only person left that does not get it. >> my president has created a perception of domestic politics. as a commissioned uniform officer, it was a mistake. >> bret: a lot can happen in one week of covering this time, on "fox news sunday" this weekend with chris wallace, ben carson, the secretary of housing and urban development among chris's guests, check your local listing for "fox news sunday." thank you for inviting us into your home. fair, balanced, and unafraid. one week closer now. is to "the story" posted by martha maccallum starts right now. >> martha: always and encouraging thought, thank you! have a great weekend. so good evening, everybody. i am martha maccallum, and this is "the story" tonight, as we watch the tense situation unfolding in seattle as groups are vying for power inside this newly designated autonomous city, we are also watching tonight, the city of nashville where protesters say that they intend to reclaim a piece of land outside the tennessee state capitol later tonight, governor bill lee has spoken out already and he says that that will not be tolerated. that is a far cry from
