Measures like shutting down bars as the number of cases surge in the south and the southwest and out west as well. The White House Coronavirus task force addressing the issue yesterday as the nation approaches 2 and a half million cases and surpasses sadly 125,000 deaths. Vice president mike pence now calling for vigilance. We stand here today, we believe weve made progress, but as we are reminded as we see cases rising across the south, that we still have work to do and so we say to every american, particularly those in counties and in states that are being impacted by rising cases that arthel steve harrigan, live in atlanta, steve. Steve arthel, texas and florida are both aggressive in reopening economies now each taking stepback putting restrictions on bars. Floyd had 5,985 new cases, record for florida. The number of new cases is up more than 70 in just one week. Up more than 500 in florida since memorial day. The death rate has not spiked dramatically as new case rates. Some officials in florida are saying that the real behind the spike in new cases is because of increased testing, more than 40,000 tests per day now. If you compare overall florida to states like new york, 3,300 deaths compared to 31,000 deaths in new york. Thats almost ten times the amount of deaths. Steve some cities within florida are taking their own measures, pensacola has now made masks mandatory in public and also the mayor of miamidade saying the beaches will be shut down for fourth of july holiday, arthel. Arthel steve, dr. Anthony fauci had a message for all americans yesterday notably young people. What can you tell us about that . Steve thats right, it came after the announcement of 45,000 new cases in the u. S. , record on friday after thursdays record and wednesdays record and dr. Fauci from the task force addressing comments squarely to young people across the u. S. When you do that, you are part of the process. You get infected, you will infect someone else who clearly will infect someone else. You will clear someone who is vulnerable. That maybe somebodys grandmother, grandfather, uncle who is on chemotherapy and radiation or a child that has leukemia. Steve europe could begin blocking travelers from the u. S. To europe as early as tuesday due to high levels of the outbreak in the u. S. , arthel, back to you. Arthel steve, thank you very much for that report. Eric. Eric arthel, new actions against those who have been toppling our nations statutes. President trump signed executive order to protect those monuments, memorials and statutes, this as those Historic Monuments an statutes across the country as you know have become targets of anger and vandalism amid the ongoing protest. Hundreds of people have been gathered in lincoln park last night for heated but largely peaceful demonstration about the fate of the emancipation memorial in washington, d. C. Live team fox News Coverage on all of this, david spunt is at the white house. Lets begin with Lucas Tomlinson who is live in washingtons lincoln park with more on the president s order and thats where the statute of president lincoln has sparked new controversy, hi, lucas. Lucas hi, eric, President Trump says he wants to give ten years to any vandals who deface or destroy any of the monuments. Interior secretary says he wants to see an end to mob violence. You dont get to go up and start selfexecuting to tear down a monument. Most of the monuments were placed with acts of congress with the liberation, with careful thought placed into thought by artists and great con people rations to establish them and they are not just simply torn down because some person thinks thats a good idea. Lucas promising more assistance to protect monuments and cutting aid who would destroy the monuments, eric. Eric yeah, lucas, its unbelievable. It seems to me that they are going after all sorts of monuments, george washington, Thomas Jefferson as well as abolitionists, people who fought against slavery as well as veterans of world war i and world war ii. What other monuments have recently come down . Lucas well, eric, its not a monument, moments ago Princeton University announced it was removing Woodrow Wilson from policy school. They wont be successful. The United States park, the metropolitan police, the men and women of the district of Colombia National guard will protect the monuments and statutes. Lucas riders launched fireworks at Police Officers seen from bodycam video. One bipartisan was struck with fireworks. Mob was order today leave the robert e lee monument due to paintballs fired at Police Officers. One officer was struck. At dc, statute with Abraham Lincoln with freed slave will come down soon. Norton said that even though freed slaves paid for statute he said it was done without input. And tomorrow on fox news sunday, Chris Wallace sits down with Eleanor Holmes norton, check your local listing, eric. Eric lucas, thanks so much. Arthel. Arthel eric, we will head over to the white house now where we find david spunt with the latest reaction from the president. Hi, david. David hi, arthel, good afternoon to you. The president has made what happened to the monuments and other federal property a 2020 campaign issue. Hes talked about a lot over the past few weeks, in fact, he was supposed to be in bedminster, new jersey i was supposed to be in new jersey, canceled trip and said he would stay at the white house all weekend to make sure law and order is enforced in washington, d. C. When it comes to monuments and other federal property. Now speaking of monuments, one of the monuments you did not see in lucas report, Andrew Jackson monument, the seventh president of the United States in lafayette park, now on monday vandals put chains on the famed statute trying to get it down. They were unsuccessful. Minutes later authorities on the scene, blocked out the park. Now theres no access to the statute. Look at the fbi most wanted poster here. President trump tweeted this to his 80 plus million followers, 15 people wanted for vandalizing the jackson statute. Some of the time its hard to tell because people have masks on but Authorities Say they have a jumpstart on some of these identities of destruction of federal property. Remember, it could bring people up to 10 years in jail. That is a point officials in the Trump Administration want to stress. You do Something Like this, you could get up to 10 years behind bars, arthel. Arthel david, you spoke with fbi director, what did he say . David strategic information and operation center, the hub of all intelligence when it comes to vandalism across the country. This is video inside of that sioc command. Fbi director wray said the fbi is working with local partners and federal partners to stop it. The violence and destruction of property that weve been seeing in certain parts of the country is illegal and it needs to stop now. Equal justice is essential but violence and destruction of property is not the way to ensure it and to the extent that theres a federal nexus involved in that conduct, people need to understand that the fbi will take steps to investigate and hold the wrong doers accountable. David director wray and members of team say they expect to see more vandalism and unrest as we move forward and counterpressure to predict next hot spots an listen to social Media Chatter and find out where the next hot spots would be around the country, arthel. Arthel all right, david spunt, thank you very much for that report. Eric. Eric well, arthel, the coronavirus pandemic, of course, continues to take a staggering economic toll on our nation. Just take a look at the impact. First time jobless claims surpasses 1 million workers for the 14th week overall. 47 million jobs have been lost since midmarch. Of those 47 million, nearly 20 million are fellow americans, well, they remain out of work without employment, so what does the future hold. Jon hilsenrath, Global Economics editor at wall street journal and Fox News Contributor joins us now. Jon, the administration has been touting progress but how could the new increasing infections that are causing some states to roll back their reopenings, how could this impact and negatively hit the recovery . Jon well, it certainly could slow it down. We started to get some very encouraging data in may. We saw a pickup in employment which people hadnt been expecting. We saw a pickup in Consumer Spending as people came out of their homes and, you know, went out to patio restaurants and such, and, you know, if we start to see infections pick up again and deaths pick up again it could certainly slow the scale of the recovery that we are seeing. You know, you mentioned a moment ago the people collecting Unemployment Benefits. Theres good news and bad news. That number of people receiving Unemployment Benefits was 24 million a few weeks ago. Its come down, but nearly 20 million is still astonishingly high number and shows that we have a major hill to climb hole to climb out of in this economy. Eric some economists predicts some jobs would never come back, what do you think . Jon its hard to make predictions, when this whole thing started, the shutdown started the hope for workers and employers that the job cuts were going to be temporary and everything would get back on line, you know, the worry now is we have a lot of the losses will be permanent. The airlines are a good example of. This are they going to get back to full traffic loads they were at a few months ago. I think theyll be permanent loss. The economy will recover, it always does. We will have more employment down the road, but its going looks like it could take some time to get back to the kind of really strong footing we were at just in january and february. You know, i want to say one other thing about this virus, you know, theres in your earlier segment you noted that that infection reports were increasing. Its a hard thing to put a finger on because because theres more testing also, but what we are also seeing in some places like texas and florida, hospitalizations are increasing and we also saw deaths flatten out and possibly rising again, so it does look like this is more than just more testing. It does look like we are seeing increased infections. Eric some people say you have more cases because of testing, some Officials Say thats not the case at all. They are looking at the stats and they show the infection rate is increasing beyond the testing and as you said hospitalizations are very important. Here is Eugene Scalia who was on Fox News Channel earlier talking about the progress. We put out jobs report for may that was stupendous, recordlevel increases, same thing with new home construction. There are positive signs and i heard a lot of optimism about reopening and reopening safely and that was a conversation in texas earlier this week. Eric maybe some positive signs but they are not reopening safely, you see what is happening in lone star state, in arizona and others. So what happens in the next few months and how long do we get back to it . Jon well, you know, i dont want to be too negative about. This the labor secretary was right. We saw surprising increase in unemployment in may and we did see consumer increase, but its also the case that the that if the virus continue to spread and infections increase its going to have economic impact. I think what we learned from march and april, we have to find some better way, some better middle ground to go about our business without imperilling ourselves, shutting the whole economy down was devastating and extremely costly, but at the same time, you know, when people pile back into bars we are discovering that that could be a dangers dangerous thing and we have to find middle ground and hopefully down the road we will get better treatments that reduce the fatality rate from the disease and one of the things that we are also seeing increase number of young people catching this as opposed to older people. They seem to be more resilient to the disease. Theres a lot to learn and we have to find better ways to manage the tradeoff between the economy and between the virus and i think on both sides of this political argument, you cant dismiss either sides point. It is devastating to shut everything down for the economy, but its also dangerous to ignore the virus. Eric we are seeing how dangerous it is to ignore the virus and the Officials Say wear a mask, social distance, wash your hands as you know, dont let up and do be in big groups. Jon hilsenrath of the washington journal, good to see you on this weekend, thank you. Jon thank you, eric. Eric of course, arthel. Arthel well, eric, hundreds of thousands of people across the country are still waiting for their unemployment checks to arrive. The delays due to backlogs and outstated state systems. In Washington State alone 71,000 people are waiting for their cases to be resolved. One woman in clark county in states southern border says she started receiving benefits but then got flagged for id check and has not received anything since. Id and Social Security card six times in total. Arthel her stepfather has it even worse. He has been waiting since march 15th and has not gotten a letter, he has not gotten a phone call. He has got nothing and he just keeps claiming. Arthel Washington State says it has processed one hundred thousand applications in the last 1 weeks alone with the help of the national guard.

Protestors meeting meeting withe mayor, despite the show of defiance the mayor vows those barriers will come down soon, Claudia Cowan live. Hi, claudia. Reporter hi, arthel, there was the meeting with the mayor but still no clear plan for what will happen next and uneasy truth now settled over the chop zone after tense standoff yesterday. City crews arrived in the area with backhoes and flatbed trucks to remove the barricades that the city had provided to help black lives matter. Police eventually gave the order to pull back and they left without removing anything. The Mayors Office issued a statement saying, quote, safety is the citys First Priority but many people in the wider chop area dont buy that because after 19 days theres still no Police Presence here. The citys retreat was the latest frustration for don mcdermontt whose shop was vandalized despite repeated calls to 911, no one came. Our open is that they would come in and clean the ms. Up and we get our streets back andty city back. I have no words. Reporter mcdermontt and others are demanding and was reported that the city could remove barricades tomorrow and unclear if protestors who couldnt get in the meeting would let that happen peacefully anyway. Now a second federal Law Enforcement accuses the mayor as well as governor inslee of violating the area and violating rights of those who work and live in the neighborhood. This comes in heels of Class Action Lawsuit and no response from any city leaders, arthel. Arthel Claudia Cowan, thank you very much.
