Media platforms are not used to encourage riots. Welcome to fox friends on this sunday morning. A lot of things going on including desecration of statues including chop. Welcome, everyone. Till with be a packedded four hours. Pete we dont have details on the shooting in louisville. Well get them to you as we get them this morning and bring them to you. Griff, big news you look at Lafayette Square and rioters and people desecrating monuments, to hear charges being brought there, a welcome sign for people that feel law and order is lacking. Griff very much so. This is the center of attention as the president trying to take actions with a executive order. The task force created by attorney general barr but these should arrests should send some signal, americans are looking at coast to coast. They want a sense of balance when it comes to law and order. This offers that, jed. Jedediah that is exactly right. Lets look to hope up what is going on in chop. Weve been talking about that a lot. Police obviously have been kept out of that area. It has been a huge issue but today those barriers are set to come down of the problem is that hundreds of protesters are remaining in the area. It has been shrunk down to three blocks but many of the protesters are refusing to leave. Obviously the question on everyones mind is what is going to happen here . Will the protesters leave . Will the police be allowed to function in the area . Will there be a zone where peoples First Amendment rights are maintained but at the same time, there is a safe area that is preserved for people, their families their businesses . Many of those people have been unable to operate safely out of fear if they need help or assistance from the police, the police chief made it very clear they have not been allowed entry to that area. Pete chop, we barely knew you. Short of u. N. Recognition of your own country. Here is what the seattle mayor saying about the future of chop. There is ongoing negotiation. They say it will be removed today. Well see. Removal of chop allows access by police and keep art, Community Gardens inside of chop long term. Provide social services in the protest zone. Encourage those living inside the chop to leave. I dont mean, griff, to bust their chop but you might say, see tshirts i started an autonomous zone and all i got was this lousy Community Garden. Does this end with a fizzle . What does this represent . Does it actually end today . Griff here is the problem. Im not sure either. No one knows. However in the list you missed addressing the prize captured flag if you will that these protesters unlawfully took. That is that Police Precinct in the center of it. That is why House Minority whip steve scalise, last night on justice with jeanine said this is not acceptable. Listen. Some of these mayors that allowed or encouraged lawlessness, flatout lawlessness in their streets, watching some parts of their city in seattle being taken over. People randomly tearing down things and burning down cities with the mayor just in some cases disbanding the Police Station so they could be burned down. This has got to stop. If you look what President Trump has been very vocal about reestablishing law and order. Where the governors need help, he is sending in National Guard to back them up to take their cities back and some of these mayors are letting it happen. Griff fine to take to the streets peacefully and demand the rest of the planet follow their ideology. However it is an entirely different thing when we allow, that is what scalise is talking about, that to be shoved down the throats of Police Precincts around the country. Finally were starting to see a little bit of a backlash. Although. Let me tell you, the demand for idealogical purity certainly incrossing on College Campuses, jed. Jedediah yeah. I mean the interesting thing about chop, although it is localized in one area the whole country is watching. Agitators are watching. People who are concerned for their own communities are watching. Theyre looking at it, saying how has the Police Responded . How has local government responded . What has the mayor done . What has the governor done . Do these places survive and how they break down if they do break down . Is there violence . What happened to businesses in the area. This is one locality in the country. There are many cities that possess the same ideologies around the country where this could potentially happen. A lot of people around the country have been plugged in. That is why so many people fled cities as of late and gone into the suburbs. Theyre saying you know what . This could be my city. I have similar political ideology in my city. I dont want to be in an area like that. I think it led to a lot of changes throughout the country. Pretty interesting to watch. Pete a lot of hypocrisy as well. Well talk about it this morning. In minneapolis they voted to defund the police department, two of the three city coins members have private security funded by taxpayers. Taxpayers are putting the bill to protect them. You dont get the cops but they get to protect me because i won one election. Cancel culture has not stopped. It made its way to Princeton University yesterday. They have a graduate school there called the Woodrow Wilson school i believe for Public International affairs. Foreign policy Public Affairs graduate school. They will decide to drop Woodrow Wilsons name. It is known as woody woo. Wilson school is no longer. Here is what princeton president said in a very long statement. This is just a portion of it. Wilsons segregationist policies make him especially inappropriate namesake for a Public Policy school, when a University Names a school for political leader inevitably suggests that the honor reis a model for the students that study at the school. This moment in American History makes it clear wilsons racism disqualifies him from the role. His racist views and policies. Listen, this is precisely what the left demands. Everyone must be erased and canceled, even if they won a world war. While he did start the league of nations which ultimately failed, won a nobel peace prize. He is the, king progressive. He started the Progressive Movement in america but no, no good for the left. He has got to go. You want, you look around at every building, every university, including Yale University named after a slave trader, you wonder when and where does this end, jed . Jedediah yeah. Important to note with respect to princeton, this goes back to 2015 where those protests with respect to this particular building started. But the administration started well do reforms. Well not remove the name. After the death of george floyd they decided to remove the name. Private institutions can make the decisions. They can. Theyre allowed to do. That but also parents send the children to these schools, it is up to you what kind of school do you support the ideology. Are you a fan of decision princeton made. Or will you seek out institutions that have different way of life, looking at different way of history. Ultimately people power rests in your hands and ultimately paying that tuition and making the decision what type of fours years your filed will have. Griff the problem, where is the tolerance in these institutions of Higher Learning . You expect, you send your kid to broaden their horse horizons, get a different array of perspectives. When they become intolerant naming of a school after one of our president s it send as hypocritical message pete . Pete this is what Higher Education is today. Littleknown fact, i once was a student at the Woodrow Wilson school for a week before i dropped out because i didnt want to be there anymore. Just saying. Maybe i was ahead of my time. I knew i didnt want to be associated with such a patriarchal racist institution. But, yeah, well continue to see this with more schools under pressure from students. Really students are pushing administrations to do this. Jedediah yeah. Another big story were following today is that the white house is pushing back on a New York Times report that report claims that President Trump knew russia was paying taliban militants to kill u. S. Troops in afghanistan but failed to respond. Mark meredith joins us live from d. C. With more on that dispute. Mark, whats the latest . Reporter jed, good morning to you. The white house is denying that President Trump was briefed about this report that suggests Russian Military units were working with militants on the ground to target u. S. Troops in afghanistan. New york times first reported this story on friday. There has been a lot of blowback since then. It alleged russia provided taliban militants with money in exchange for targeting coalition forces. The white house has been pushing back hard on this they say the president did not know about it. The cia director, National Security advisor and chief of staff can all confirm that neither the president nor the Vice President were briefed on the alleged russia bounty intelligence. This does not speak to the merit of the alleged intelligence but inaccuracy of the times story erroneously suggesting that President Trump was briefed on this matter. Democrats up on capitol hill and on the campaign trail they are jumping all over this report accusing the president of cozying up to russia over the objection of u. S. Allies. Donald trump has continued his embarrassing campaign of deference and debasing himself before Vladmir Putin. He had this information according to the times, yet he offeredded to host putin in the United States and sought to invite russia to rejoin the g7. Reporter now the president has suggested he would like to see russia come to the g7 meeting later on this year. That meeting was supposed to happen at end of this month. It was pushed back because of the pandemic. Looks like it will happen in the fall. A lot can change. Well watch the fallout a little later on today. Griff, jed,. Pete pete uncle joe toll me more about your failing political history. No surprise russians meddling n afghanistan they had occupation for years ultimately expelled. If they want to take over afghanistan, part of the president s rationale of Foreign Policy is we shouldnt be spending trillions of american dollars and american lives there. Doesnt dismiss the fact that russia is our enemy which we know but to point this at the white house say, theyre complicit with putin i think to miss the whole story. Griff yeah. A lot more jedediah key obviously if he was briefed on it or not. If he was briefed on it did nothing, then people will have something to say about that. If he didnt wasnt briefed on it it is fake news. Yet to be seen. Pete russia has been paying bounties to islamists for years this is not a new thing ultimately, even if it is unfortunate. Griff got more on that coming up. Were turning to your headlines overnight. Two people are killed after a shooting at a walmart distribution center. Police say the suspect rammed his car into the california warehouse before opening fire with a a semiautomatic rifle. Four people died in the shooting. Four other people were hurt.

Miami closing beaches for 4th of july weekend a month after reopening as covid19 cases spike in florida. Miami mayor Francis Suarez joins us liveal next. timer chimes you turn 40 and everything goes. Tell me about it. You know, its made me think, im closer to my retirement days than i am my college days. Hm. Im thinking. Will i have enough . Should i change something . Well, youre asking the right questions. I just want to know, am i gonna be okay . I know people who specialize in am i going to be okay. I like that. You may need glasses though. Yeah. Guidance to help you stay on track, no matter what comes next. Jedediah beaches in miami ordered to close down ahead of july 4th weekend less than one month after reopening this comes after florida recorded a record 9,000 new coronavirus cases in one day. Hospitalizations also on the rise, prompting the state to ban drinking at bars and gatherings of more than 50 people. Miami mayor Francis Suarez joins us now. Mayor, thank you so much for being here. A little concerning to see these numbers emerging. Do we know why there has been an uptick like this before we get to the beaches . Shows that once we started opening, particularly restaurants, people started congregating in large numbers. They sort of forgot about the rules. What we know about this virus is that it is very aggressive in iting growth. Before we locked down the city it was growing 35 new cases per day. As of last monday, it has been growing at a pace of over 40 new cases per day. It is a fairy aggressive virus and it didnt take much for it to spread very, very quickly. Jedediah when it comes to the beaches, do you feel that is the right decision . One thing always brought up by people, thats outdoors. As we know, you are less likely to catch this virus in an outdoor environment than a indoor environment f people dont have a place to go outdoors, will they try to flock indoors somewhere . What do you make of the ruling on the beaches . Yeah, you know, i think the other issue is just mass congregation, areas where people congregate massively. We know that our beaches, particularly during holiday weekends are areas of mass congregation. It may be true more dangerous inside than it is to be outside, it is more dangerous to be in places where there is mass congregation than in places where there arent. That is what the county mayor was trying, i think he made the right decision. You know, look, there is no playbook for what a mayor needs to do to protect his citizens. You have to do everything that we can do to try to make sure that our residents are safe and visitors are safe. We dont want anyone coming here or getting a virus and then going somewhere else and spreading it. Jedediah obviously a very difficult time and a challenging time to be a mayor of a city with numbers going up like this. The challenge for people, they feel like this could never end, right . They feel like you can open a beach, shut a beach. The numbers may tick up. You will have a asymptomatic people. More people are tested. Young people will be less responsible for the question does this ever end remains to be seen. Thanks so much for being here, giving us your take. Youre welcome, thank you.
