The worst place you can be doing business. Taking everything that was a huge allure in new york city out of new york city. After months of waiting guess what, today is finally opening day. Leading off with the defending world series champion Washington Nationals against the new york yankees. Im back back in the new york groove im back back in the new york groove. Brian and im back after three days. Griff did a great job filling in according to all reports almost too good. Steve and ainsley said they were crying when he left the building. Brian but you guys were crying. I will say this we are going to talk about serious stuff throughout the baseball is officially back today brian human cutouts of people in the stands of themselves and type of expression you choose as human cutout is a lot to say but. Ainsley not allowed to you have fans. Brian i think they will gradually. I wasmsd the usl. They got about 5,000 fans in there why cant baseball put 150 and salute to the mls. They have been in the bubble in orlando. No positive tests. They are not going to be in a bubble in baseball. If the system works, that will set the stage for basketball, very confident they are in a bubble, too and football. Steve they dont have fans in the stand yet because of liability. They dont want to be sued. Thats the confluence of our many stories. Talk about how mitch mcconnell, including the yankees have Liability Protection. Also, who is throwing out the first pitch tonight as the nats, yankees game . Dr. Fauci it. All comes back to, unfortunately, coronavirus. Ainsley the president had a press conference yesterday. Lets talk about poorld . Lets talk about chicago and the Coronavirus Relief package. Brian, start us off. Brian straight to a fox news alert. Portland is tear gassed during another night in the city of chaos. Ted wheeler wearing goggles and coughing as it surrounds him. This come just hours after the mayor vowed his support to the protesters. [cheers] [if you want the tear gas against you, they want. You. [booze] steve yeah, the protesters were screaming f ted wheeler. Do your job. They also, take a look at that they projected up on the wall their list of demands. They are calling for the defunding of the Police Department by 50 . They are also calling for freeing all the protesters from jail. They are calling for the mayor, of course, to quit and that i think, probably hurt his feelings. Ainsley all of it is coming during the 56th straight night of unrest in that city. Ainsley fireworks and smoke filling that area as you can see near the federal courthouse. Also some fires that were started as police cleared out those protesters. Brian why . Because because there was chaos. The mayor says im against the federal presence there and side with the protesters. Much like the mayor of seattle, much like the mayor of oakland, much like the mayor of chicago, the protesters dont like you. They said horrible things about you. Thats why we had to bleep out what they were saying while you had the bull horn in your hand. While you side with your federal government and the win over the protesters, they dont care. They have caused millions in damage to the Federal Buildings and surrounding businesses. They have cost business already on their knees coronavirus to suffer on the vine. When the federal government decides to help you, you say they are the bad guys. Here is chad wolf. We have upwards of 500 to 1,000 violent anarchists that are targeting that Federal Building endangering the lives of my Law Enforcement officers. And at this point, we have no support from the local leadership there and were not taking it any longer. We are surging forces in there. We are making arrests. We are Holding People accountable. They are committing federal crimes. And we will continue to do that. At the same time, i beg and plead with the local Law Enforcement there to partner with us and that leadership. Brian by the way, the police union person Darryl Turner there who is africanamerican says they have hijacked this move for Racial Justice and they say its the ultimate sign of white privilege, ainsley. Ainsley now to another big story we are following. President trump sending federal officers to chicago to stop what he calls a rampage of violence in the city. We are here today to answer the pleas of those crying for justice and crying for help for those people in chicago and other cities where we will be, help is on its way. Brian the announcement coming hours after 3yearold girl was shot in the head in her familys car and 15 people shot outside of a funeral home. Police releasing this video as they search for three suspects. Steve in addition to chicago, President Trump sending federal agents he has to kansas city, missouri and albuquerque, new mexico to hire more officers. In portland, they are also deploying over 100 federal agents in addition to operation legend. Its interesting, so, it is a much different situation in portland than it is in the city of chicago. Yesterday after he had his press briefing the president of the United States did call mayor lightfoot in chicago to discuss sending 200 federal agents from ice and the fbi and the u. S. Marshals in to chicago. What they are going to do there, its not about the protesters but, instead, what they are going to do is they are going to be working with the u. S. Attorney and the u. S. Attorneys name there is john losh. He is somebody who mayor lightfoot trusts. So he will be the point person in chicago. So, the worry is and mayor lightfoot made it very clear, we dont want to turn this into portland. What theyre going to be doing is working on gangs and guns and drugs as well. And its because the president of the United States sees the problem in chicago and he is trying to help. He will help anybody who will ask and right now the feds are going to chicago. Here is the president. My vision for americas cities could not be more different from the lawlessness being pushed by the extreme radical left. While others want to defund, defame, and abolish the police, i want to support and honor our great police. I want to expand School Choice and every family in america should have that option. We are hiring americans and we are buying american product. We want the American Dream for American Children and i will fight to deliver that dream. Opportunity cannot thrive where there is violence, prosperity, cannot flourish where there is blood shed and security. Cannot exist where there are violent criminals. That is what operation legend is all about. Steve by the way operation legend is named after a 4yearold boy by the name of legend talafaro from kansas city, missouri. Ainsley look how cute i is. Steve when there was one fire outside his mothers apartment in kansas city. This operation deployed to places across the country where there are Gang Violence problems and gun violence problems named in his honor, ainsley. Ainsley his mom, i was listening to comments from her and she was saying obviously she supports this and just devastated the loss of her son. And she wants all this violence to end and for us to Work Together as a country. I also, at that press conference where the president was yesterday, we all saw that that man that stood up at the microphone he is from a albuquerque. I didnt know they had a big crime problem. He talked about that. His two sons are officers in that town. I read another article that he is leaving albuquerque because of all the violence there went to the podium and shared the story how his wife was murdered in november. Got up and went to the gym. Goes downstairs to get coffee and he hears the horn honking he runs outside thinking she forgot her gym card turns out she is shot in her car and dead. See a brown jeep cherokee. Said she was a precious woman. He said she cents bible verses to friends every single day and this violence needs to stop. Going back to chicago, mayor lorlori lightfoot, she said, for there is any deviation from what on the phone. She we will pursue legal options. Here she is on whether or not the federal agents will add value. That may add value. But the proof is going to be in the pudding. Its too soon to be able to say if this is a valued a or not. Those poor families was a political stunt. There has been no goodwill from this president. Ainsley so other progressive mayors agree with her. They say theyre resisting the efforts that the president and his Administration Want to go into these cities because they there has been violence for almost two months now in some of these cities. He is saying i want to come in and help clean it up because the local leaders are not doing ton their own. Many are saying its all about politics. These are democratic mayors, brian. Brian this is not a tough one. This isnt Stem Cell Research arguments on both sides. Chaos, death and destruction and chaos next change. You want to blame the president for offering help that hasnt come yet. You are the woman in charge of a city with 414 homicides up 51 from 2019. And shootings are up even higher than that where 17 people died over the weekend and the president offers help and he is the bad guy . I dont know what planet she is on. Meanwhile, turning now tout latest on the coronavirus in a fox news exclusive interview. President trump vowing we will beat it and says he will be the first to take the vaccine. Steve unless he takes political heat for it then he would be the last, he tells dr. Siegel. Griff jenkins joins us from d. C. In addition to that Senate Republicans are about to unveil their coronavirus package. Griff . Griff thats right, steve, ainsley and brian. Welcome back. Let me sit in for you. I hacongress to do their job. Mitch mcconnell to unveil 1 trilliondollar package likely to include. This more direct payments to americans. Money for schools to reopen safely. Additional funds for testing and Liability Protections for businesses. But it seems democrats are far from on board. The american job market needs another shot of adrenaline. Senate republicans are laserfocused on getting workers their jobs back. Need to see what their specific plan is they are all in disarray different republicans say different things. We cant negotiate on a vague concept. Recalling extended Unemployment Benefits and the president s push for payroll tax cut saying he may not sign anything if it doesnt include that meanwhile, the president telling our own medical contributor dr. Marc siegel he is willing to take the vaccine first when available. You know the way it works, if im the first one they will say he is so selfish he wanted to get the vaccine first. Other people would say hey, thats a very brave thing to do. I would absolutely, if they wanted me to to, if take it first or take it last. And the members of his Coronavirus Task force like dr. Best of my recollection calling her unbelievable woman. All of this comes after the kneels broken on this show yesterday morning when hhs secretary alex azar massive deal of 100 million doses with hopes it could be avarvel by the end of the year and other vaccine candidates pushing for it as well. All a part of operation warp speed which combines private innovation with a faster regulatory process. Steve, ainsley, brian . Ainsley thank you, griff. Last night you had the Top Republican senators meeting with mark meadows and meeting with Steve Mnuchin to talk about this. They said they have resolved their issues. They didnt agree. There were some disagreements about the payroll tax cut and as griff was saying its not known whether or not thats going to be part of their plan. Brian yeah. I would add to that. Ainsley they said they resolved their issues. I dont think there is wrong with differing opinions. Coming apart, praying at the having a voice and listening. If you are upset with liz cheney for being upset with the president she is with him 97 of the time. Jim jordan can argue with liz cheney and both be great republicans it. Doesnt mean fraying different opinions in different sections of the country. With the payroll tax cut the push back that usually funds Social Security and medicare does that really make sense. A lot of republicans say we shouldnt do it. Warm i think the rubber hits the road i think is the 600. Giving people Unemployment Insurance and 600 it deemphasizes, i guess, deemphasizes the need to go get a job. Now, if you dont have a job, i get it. But there are a lot of times do you have a job i cant rationalize taking that job, making less money for my family instead of the 600 incentive i know larry kudlow also talked about giving people an incentive to go get a job. That would counter act that. Lets see what happens between 1 and 3 trillion. Thats a big gap the democrats want the 3 trillion. Steve the democrats passed the 3 trillion bill two months ago. And now its the republicans turn thats why there has been the scwawbling and back and forth. I believe the extra 600 bucks that you get when you are out of work na addition to your state unemployment expires as of tomorrow. So they have got to hurry up. Right now the conventional wisdom is they are going to continue it at 200. But it will vary according to your states benefits. And regarding the payroll tax cut, which the president has talked about for years and years and years, you know, at is probably dead in the water to a lot of republicans there are very few republican senators who support it. But, its when you think about how the president operates though, might have just put that in there to do a little negotiating so he can ultimately get what he really wants which could be that 105 billion to reopen the schools, which is something he would really like to happen in the fall. All right. It is exactly 6 16 in the morning on this thursday. Thanks for joining us. Do you know who else is here . Jillian is with us and she has got the headlines. Jillian thats right. Good morning. We begin with this fox news alert. Tensions rising between the u. S. And china as the fbi accuses the country of harboring fugitive at San Francisco consulate. She is a biology researcher charged with lying about her links to the chinese military. Meanwhile, secretary of state mike pompeo orders chinas consulate in houston to close tomorrow. That demand coming after workers there reportedly burned secret documents senator marco rubio closure quote long overdue. Three major storms in the making. Hurricane douglas in hawaii this week . 75 mileperhour winds and tropical depression 8 forming over the gulf of mexico. Its expected to become Tropical Storm hanna tomorrow as it heads towards texas and louisiana. Tropical storm gonzalez potentially forming into a hurricane today.

The bill now heads to the republican controlled senate. A look at your headlines. Send it back to you. Ainsley all right. Thank you, jillian. Joe biden and former president obama together again jabbing at President Trump in a new sit down. Lawrence jones says hillary hist didnt work in 2016 and it wont now. Now. He joins us next. Hike now.

He just cant, cant relegality in any way. Well, and one of the things that i have always known but joe is the reason why i wanted you to be my Vice President. Brian president obamas support and he does support joe biden is it enough to sway voters in a positive way. Lets bring in fox news analyst Lawrence Jones. He is hosting a new special on sunday night called one nation on Race Relations in america on fox this sunday. We will talk about that in a second. Lawrence, what about this partnership . We knew it was there. Now its making it clear hes president obama is going to play a major role with Vice President biden. Does that make sense to you . I mean, he needs. To say its not like people around the country are excited to go out and vote for joe biden. The problem is that obama is not on the ticket. Eventually joe biden is going to have to find some way to energize the base to get them out to support him. You know, president obama was very active with Hillary Clinton even went into the black community and said that he felt like he would have been a personal insult if black voters didnt vote for Hillary Clinton it didnt pan out to be that way. Banking on president obama being the for him and black female to be vp ticket. Voters rarely care about the endorsement. They want the guy to be the guy. Brian Steve Schmidt comes out who hates the president says even though barack obama didnt really help in 2008, he said barack obama was our last normal president thats why its going to help. Your thoughts on that . I dont know what that means. I mean is he saying that the President Trump is not a
