FOXNEWSW Americas Newsroom July 22, 2020

Another unbelievable night in portland as a chaos in americas streets continue. Another night of demonstrations as federal agents at one point began to use tear gas on that some of the rioters that were out of control and not group. And in chicago at least 14 people were hurt. Gunfire broke out outside of a funeral. All of this as resident trumpets called for federal intervention to help in some of these major u. S. Cities that are seen such a dramatic surge in violence. Good morning everybody, good to be here in the morning, my martha maccallum. Melissa welcome to you more thought, i melissa francis, sandra smith is off. The president s plan comes as opposition grows towards federal forces in portland. They are saying federal agents are not welcome there. The mayor of chicago taking a similar stance as violence surges in her city. Police officers finding some 60 shell casings at the scene of yesterday shooting. They shot him everywhere, all over. We thought it was a war over here. Im sick and tired of it, and this area is really bad. The violence that continues today in and day out. Its just unnatural that all this violence, its like we are in a war zone. We need more cops because its literally like we are in iraq. Melissa unbelievable. Mike tobin is live with more on this. The funeral home youre talking about is just over my right shoulder and that suv is a black suv that came west bound up 70 and opened fire at people can attending this particular funeral. What you had out here was a hail of gunfire. As you mentioned the police that they recovered some 60 shell casings from the scene. The suv then turned on carpenter, wrecked on carpenter and the occupants of that vehicle fled. Police say they have one person of interest in custody, the official number as far as the injuries out here, but 14 people were shot and their conditions vary in the hospital. Witnesses are all comparing the scene out here, some kind of war zone we wish it would stop, and we are glad the federal troops are out here because the violence is literally a pandora. They have pushed back with the federal Troops Initiative to some officers to chicago and she did at this time attempt to put some responsibility on people in the neighborhood who traditionally do not share information with police. Mayor lightfoot tweeting, we cannot give shelter to killers and people know who are responsible. The rise in violence does happen every summer in chicago but this is extraordinary. Writers are up 51 for this time this year, shootings are up 47 and it should note that the shootings did not limit themselves to this one mass shooting. They continued throughout the evening. Among the people who were shot later on in the evening, the 3yearold girl on south shore. Speak melissa thats just tragic. Martha meanwhile portland marks its 55th straight night of protest. Federal agents at one point did resort to using tear gas to clear some of the crowds that were destructive in that group after more confrontations with those protesters. You can say with that look like last night. Oregons governor making it clear that she, regardless of all of this, she wants a federal forces out of there. The presence of federal troops here, trumps troops here in the streets of portland have substantially exacerbated an already challenging situation. I told them to go home, that their forces are not needed here and they are not wanted here martha we will talk a lot about this this morning. Joe biden released a statement slamming the Trump Administration saying we have president who is determined to sow chaos and division, to make matters worse instead of better. The acting Border Patrol commissioner responding on fox friends earlier after House Speaker nancy pelosi called his agents stormtroopers. Im disgusted. So far this year just cbp alone, weve lost ten personnel. And for her to refer to those men and women as stormtroopers, thats absolutely disgusting. These are professional, civil Law Enforcement individuals that are out there doing their job protecting this great nation. They are not stormtroopers. Martha very emotional from mark morgan this morning. Thats about whether or not the president or the white house should be doing anything or should they let some of these areas sort of fall back on their own resources . We will talk about that, coming up. We just signed a contract with global pharmaceutical leader pfizer to produce 100 million doses of vaccine starting in december of this year with an option to buy another half a billion doses. Melissa health and Human Services secretary alex azar with some big news on a possible covid19 vaccine. But despite that, President Trump warning that pandemic will get worse before it gets better. In his First White House Coronavirus Task force briefing in months. The president also urging americans to wear masks. Chief White House Correspondent john roberts is live with more. A shift in tone after months of rose prognostications and after saying that the virus would simply disappear one day, the president is much more matteroffact yesterday telling it like it is as opposed to how he would like it to be. Listen to what the president said. Some areas of our country are doing very well and others are doing less well. It will probably unfortunately get worse before it gets better, something i dont like saying about things but thats the way it is, thats what we have. You look over the world and its all over the world. It intends to do that. Just like saying its going to get worse before it gets better, the administration as you pointed out today announcing that big deal with pfizer though pharmaceuticals, releasing 100 billion doses of the vaccine which could be early ready as early as september. Alex azar has one earlier this morning. Now those would have to a force to be safe and effective according to the fda gold standard. This now adds to what President Trump has delivered which is for other vaccine candidates. We now have five vaccine candidates that prioritize the u. S. People, where we are going to manufacture vaccine and work to secure fda approval of them all at the same time. While yesterday brought a significant shift in tone by the president including into the reclamation for people to wear masks, the democrats redoubled their effort to hang the Coronavirus Crisis around his neck. The House Speaker nancy pelosi labeling it as the trump virus. If he had said months ago, lets wear masks, lets not come up with socially distance, instead of having rallies and political whatever they were, then more people would have followed his lead. Hes the president of the United States. Instead of being a bad example, making it like a man hunting not to wear a mask. We should remember that nancy pelosi did not issue a directive for all people and committees to wear a mask until june and she also opposed the chinese travel ban at the beginning. Many people throwing stones but also plenty of glass houses. The president is turning his attention to law and order this afternoon, we go to talk about operation legend in kansas city, named for a 4yearold boy who was killed while he was sleeping. The doj has been talking about expanding operation legend into other cities and white house sources tell me this is a program that they want to see go forward. So its a likely one might hear something from the president this afternoon about sending federal Law Enforcement to more cities than america. Again, 3 00 this afternoon. Melissa we will definitely be listening for that. Another big day ahead, john roberts, thanks for that. Martha is a building on that, our next guest has a new oped titled, maybe trump shouldnt save the democrat run city is besieged by violence. Mike tyson joins us now, former speechwriter to george w. Bush and fox news contributor. Good morning to you, good to see you you know, this is one of the great struggles of this conversation. Because the president is seizing on this moment, is looking up what happened and to saying not on my watch in terms of the violence of the cities. And yet, they say let the cities rely on the government structure and the people that they have put in charge to dictate how this shouldve been handled. Absolutely. First of all there is an element of hypocrisy here. Since when have the democrats become the party of states rights and local control . They want a federal bailout of the states and localities. They are criticizing President Trump with differing governors. And there are two arguments there. On one hand theres an argument to say let the cities burn. And thats without harming the rest of the country. Theres an argument for letting the experiments play out. The people of the cities elected feckless democrats, and if i dont like the laws my city than i can move to another city. You go from blue states to read states if you dont want the destruction. The problem with that argument is, and thats the Democratic Leaders who are letting it happen, and they are trapped in the inner cities and a lot of this, they cant move because they dont have the resources. Then the Small Business owners they put their lifes savings into a business. Ultimately the president has a responsibility to protect these people if local Democratic Leaders wont do it. Martha im thinking back to moments ago, we played a piece of sound and maybe we still have it to the gentleman named kenneth hughes. And we need federal officers, he said that to the reporter on the sideline and that is a person that i think about when you consider this idea and we think about babies children being killed in the streets in chicago. Mayor lightfoot saying she doesnt want any help, she obviously cannot handle whats going on there because it is an extremely dangerous situation. That will protect all the people of the entire nation. This whole defund the police movement, this is a bunch of woke collegeeducated white white people. They are more likely to be harassed by the police and white people are, but 52 say they are doing their job, 51 of black surveyed oppose defending the police and their communities and 72 of blacks agreed that most Police Officers have in a positive impact on their community and 42 higher than whites and higher than it than hispanics, 42 of africanamerican say they can recall a situation where they were in danger and a Police Officer saved them. The antipolice movement is not coming from the africanamerican community, they want to reform the police, they want to reform Mental Health but they dont want to get rid of the police. They are the primary victims. Its the blacks and hispanics. Thank you very much. We will have more on all of this and we will talk to Kellyanne Conway and to get her reaction to the growing violence in america streets and she will be back at the bottom of the hour. Melissa i came from a Republican Caucus meeting that could be some of the burning process aggressive pockets. He is slamming members of his own party over the plan. Can the deal be reached . Wyoming senator John Barrasso joins us to talk about it, next. Plus this. Heart stopping video caught on camera, did you see that . The story behind this terrifying moment on the highway, that i hathatsahead of. Ever since i got this little guy, i felt like i was just constantly cleaning up his hair. Then, i got my paws on the swiffer sweeper. Its a game changer. These heavy duty dry cloths pick up a crazy amount of hair this is all you. We stopped cleaning and started swiffering. Martha incredible video of a six vehicle crash that was caught on camera in canada. It happened in British Columbia last week when a semi trailer flipped on its side, skidded on the highway and then crashed into oncoming traffic. What a terrifying scene that is. Police say that a driver appears to have lost control on the turn and cross the double line and then overcorrected. Four people were rushed to a nearby hospital but they were treated for nonlifethreatening injuries. The semi truck driver was charged with crossing a solid double line in canada. Everybody seems like they were fairly lucky in that situation i find it extraordinary that i just came from a Republican Caucus meeting that could have been the burning pros caucus. Im alarmed about spending a trillion dollars that we dont have. Weve gone up 3 trillion in the last couple of months, adding another trillion dollars is the most fiscally irresponsible thing ive ever heard of. Melissa that was kentucky senator rand paul after a g. O. P. Meeting yesterday where republican lawmakers are negotiating the next round of coronavirus economic relief. Senator paul saying that there appears to be no difference between his party and it democrats when it comes to expending. G. O. P. Senators remain deeply divided over the details of the bill including a payroll tax c cut, and how generous an extension of Unemployment Benefits should be. Lets bring in that wyoming senator John Barrasso, chairman of the Senate Republican conference. Thank you for joining us. If you heard what senator paul had to stay there. Meanwhile House Speaker Nancy Pelosis as a trillion dollars is a pittance, thats not the exact words she used but its not nearly enough, we are not thinking big enough at all. What is the right number that will help people but is still responsible in terms of the debt we are passing on to our children and grandchildren . You framed it beautifully, melissa, and you are absolutely right. Thats why i have a test that i apply that i think your viewers would agree with, which is anything that we spend, and i do believe we have a role in the recovery, the government has a role to play. Anything we spend has to basically focus on the disease in terms of accurate, Quick Response testing, better treatments, and im optimistic in the treatments we are having, and in the vaccine. Im really optimistic about what we have heard today which is new vaccines. Number two, making sure people can get back to work and children can get back to school, that is critical. Third, we need to make sure there is Liability Protection for our schools, for our Health Care Workers and for the mom and pop businesses that want to reopen. Right now we have over 3500 lawsuits already filed by the sioux and settle lawyers all focused on coronavirus. We cant open businesses or School Safely under that threat. Martha senator brosseau, i wonder when it comes to a payroll tax cut which is one of the things that you are considering, ive heard so Many Democrats say that this is only a tax cut for companies and the wealthy when mathematically and factually, we know that this is totally false, instantly, minimum wage earners would see their wages go up by Something Like three or 4 , depending on where you are. Why are republican so bad at messaging, why are you able to get out there and the case of the lowest earners among us would instantly see more money in their paycheck . You are absolutely right, they would see more money and thats one of the reasons why the president is proposing this. For people that actually have jobs, it helps them keep more of their hardearned money. For people that dont have jobs, we need to help them come back to work. Both things are a number of ways to do it but you also contrasted with the democrats want to do. Theyve already passed a bill over 3 trillion and the real problem with it, melissa, is so much of it doesnt focus on the disease or getting people back to work or back to school. What they focus on is political payoffs to their friends. Hundreds of billions of dollars, paying people more to not work then to go to work. And paying for cities and states that have been amazingly irresponsible over the last decade to bail out their pension programs. Thats why we cannot do that, that would be completely responsible and a misuse of taxpayer dollars. Melissa but the messaging come their way to make it sound to come up they are sending money out to people who cant make ends meet. My point is, why arent you guys better at getting that message out there, that when you talk about this unemployment insurance, why dont you bring up the woman who cant get people to come back to her salon because they are making more money at home rather than coming to work. Really quick, final word to you. You cant pay people more to not work then to work. That all ends on july 31st. What we know is, 3 out of 4 people who are getting these bonus checks, this was what they are in the original carries act, or making more to not work. We have help wanted signs all around wyoming. People need to get back to work and employers are looking to hire people, and on july 31st this unemployment, enhanced unemployment bonuses end. Nancy pelosi wants to extended all the way to the end of january. Heavy wet blanket on our economy which will people from getting back on the job. Melissa s senator barrasso, thank you for your time this morning. Martha fox news alert, chaos in portland on night 55 of the protests there. [crowd sounds] martha unbelievable, federal agents fired tear gas and some of the demonstrators that were out there last night as backlash continues over federal response to the unrest. But if federal agents dont step in, who will . Counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway joined us next. It should not matter what Political Party you are on, this is about law order. This is about walking down the street and not being concerned about your baby in your stroller is going to be shot. That you can attend a funeral and there wont be a war zone in the aftermath. When we started carvana, they told us that selling cars 100 online w
