directing people who had ropes, straps and other equipment and the fbi says images clearly show charter standing on top of the statue and pouring liquid on it and apparently setting it on fire, eventually lighting a cigarette with the flames political complaints, they posted a picture of the statue on fire in history page and return down statues of traitors to the nation is a service to this nation, not a crime. charter was due in court but bering was delayed so you could talk to his lawyer. the task force is investigating several other incidents in the washington dc area. >> the afl-cio -- there is a starbucks, arson fire, sahara and a few others, lafayette park was also lit on fire in

times does the community have to communicate that before we are not seeing this used by public servants, people we get our tax dollars to. >> a lot of the look at that simple and go that is will of someone the chairs for husbands, fathers, sons, daughters, it is not anything negative, it never has been. >> republican senator mike lee of utah proposed a nonbinding resolution condemning, quote, mob violence but that objection by bob and then does of new jersey was enough to kill the motion. >> this resolution is not controversial, it is a sense of the senate that the rising tide of vandalism, mob violence and the mob mentality that feeds including its cool and intolerant cancel culture should be condemned by all americans. the resolution reeks of supremacy, to mischaracterize overwhelmingly what has been

peaceful protests elimination. >> talk about fireworks on the senate floor and the latest on actual fireworks for the fourth of july weekend, acting dhs to beauty secretary ken cuccinelli. with your reaction to the back-and-forth between senators lee and menendez? >> it is astonishing that any american, regardless of party would disagree with the condemnation of mob violence. bob menendez's comments to senator lee's resolution were not directed at the resolution. the resolution speaks specifically to people who are being violent, committing vandalism and so forth, the we are seeing around the country that donald trump has taken a

strong stand against it and maybe that is the key. maybe it is because senator lee is standing against the violence and vandalism donald trump is standing against that senator menendez can't tolerate such a position so he is for violence, his for vandalism and that is a sad sad thing and said enough to see in our country, even worse to see on the floor of the u.s. senate. >> authorities getting serious about rounding up those accused of leading the riding in the white house and molotov cocktail throwers. what is your message on that front? >> the message on that front is we are just getting started. we have hundreds of investigations across the country. prosecutions are done by the department of justice, law enforcement officers are involved in many of these which we protect and defend many of these locations and iconic statues around the country and we are going to continue to do that and lean forward to do it. we will see this weekend, the department of homeland security's deeply engaged with

the department of interior with the department of justice, the leadership of donald trump, we are going to continue not only to protect the history of this country but as donald trump is declared we are going to prosecute violent violators of the law vandalized property in the history of this country or threatened or hurt other americans. other people who deserve to be able to be safe, the most basic civil right is the right to be safe where you are and where you live. >> there will be plenty of federal prisons to make sure federal facilities and property are protected in case any rioters wants to cause mayhem over the holiday weekend? >> that is very safe assumption and you can thank donald trump for it. >> the holidays and for fireworks, people using more hand sanitizer, national security council spokeswoman is warning alcohol and fire do not

mix, you should not pair flammable items, the proverbial recipe for disaster? your thoughts? >> is an affection otto fireworks myself i take that advice very seriously. we obviously are still fighting covid-19, the president speaks about this every day really and we're going to go celebrate our nation's 240 fourth birthday. a lot of people will do that outside and in groups but we need to keep our social distancing as we hear from cdc in simple things like not mixing alcohol and fire and fireworks

are going to be on the forefront. is what we talk about violence in some of the collectively we also don't want people to be involved in accidents whether of their own making a readiness. god bless america, we hope everybody has a safe july 4th. >> donald trump made the border wall a huge fire, the trump administration hired a tech firm to build a virtual border wall. and idea democrats have praised. a 5-year agreement between customs and border protection and industry calls for the company to deploy hundreds of solar powered mobile surveillance towers designed to operate in rugged locations with cameras and thermal imaging to detect moving objects, feed the artificial intelligence system. establishing among animals, humans and people and mapping information right to the cell phones of us patrol agents. is that a little 21st-century technology to get a handle on our border? >> it is and donald trump just celebrated 200 miles of new wall system. we say wall system because it also involves surveillance related to the wall but some of the technology you just described can go places where it is difficult to build a wall. we have almost 2000 mile border on the southern border with

mexico and we are working on hundreds of miles of wall, not thousands so having situational awareness requires this kind of technology in other parts of the border and the president is very supportive of pursuing this to expand our capabilities at the border, to keep our agents safe and keep america safe. mike: thanks so much for your time. breaking tonight reports that the nfl intends to play the song lift every voice and sing, also known as the black national anthem before the star-spangled banner before every game during week one of the season of september. a tennessee restaurant faces allegations of racism, it plans all the back the blue rally, marsha blackburn on that with her view on the controversy.

whether the reopening was too rushed across the south and sunbelt. marsha blackburn joins us now. great to have you. here is joe biden on covid-19. >> we are seeing all across the country spikes in the virus causing many states to impose new restrictions again. to me and many americans this is very worrisome in the path and severity of the virus. the president and even address it. mike: what are your thoughts at this stage of the pandemic? >> at this stage of the pandemic people need to remember it is important to wash your hands, wear a mask, make certain you are keeping your physical distance and what we have seen and it is so interesting, the spike seems to be with younger people who were out and about

and think they are invincible and feel like they are invincible to covid-19 and we are finding out they are not. the other thing to keep in mind is tennessee is leading the way in testing, one of the best states when it comes to testing, you find more cases, people that are asymptomatic don't know that they haven't, you find recovered cases, individuals with antibodies. we are watching closely the percentages with hospitalization and keeping a close watch on that. mike: let's look at our map of hospitalizations across the southeast, texas and the southwest. take a listen to nancy pelosi. >> we have to open the economy but it is related to health, call the coronavirus a hoax, it will disappear, it will be a

magical miracle or something. this virus is efficient, this president is not. mike: how the response of the speaker? >> the speaker and some of the democratic leadership would do well to remember their responses when there was h1n1, when we had sars, when we had ebola, think about the period of time it took the federal government to respond to that. most people i talked to do not want to get covid-19, they do not want to give it to somebody, they are going to be careful and i know some parents who are trying to get their young adults in their household to be a little more careful when it comes to practicing the personal distancing. mike: to a situation in your great state of tennessee the headline is woke mob terrorizes

tennessee smokehouse after false rumors of back the blue donation, the restaurant was forced to cancel $1,000 order after threats to burn down their business. what have you tried to do to help the owners? >> my team reached out to this family and they were just conducting business and they filled in order that was going to be used at a back the blue rally. so then you have the raging mob take out after them and here's the thing. this cancel culture which is really an extension when you look at it of this marxist ideology, you think what china is doing to hong kong and it is the same thing but if you don't truly agree they want to shut you up, they want to shut you down and there is no one in this country that ought to have their business shutdown because somebody disagrees or has a

different political opinion. our nation and our nation's freedom that we are going to celebrate this weekend, independence day has been well served and preserved because we have robust, respectful, bipartisan debate and people believe that. mike: i want you to weigh in on the final issue, donald trump threatens to veto a $740 billion defense policy bill over the confederate names issue. your concerns at this stage about that. >> one of the things that we know is you've got to be very careful. there is a commission in place that is going to take a look at this but i will tell you this. as we celebrate independence day, go talk to the men and women who served in these spaces, who have or the uniform, protected our freedom. let's ask them what they think. in tennessee we don't have any bases that are affected by this but i think we should be talking

to those individuals and asking them and we are a lot to take some time to thank them for what they have done to preserve freedom and freedom. mike: senator marsha blackburn from tennessee, thanks for your time. can social workers take the place of police? that is next. first to put others' lives before your own. and in an emergency, you need a network that puts you first. that connects you to technology to each other and to other agencies. built with and for first responders. firstnet. the only officially authorized wireless network for first responders. because putting you first is our job.

speeone's new backlash tonight >> new backlash against law enforcement after clearing out the chop in seattle with laurie years arguing about restrictions on pepper spray and other crowd control projectiles. meanwhile the seattle father mourning the loss of his son killed in the chop zone has calls of support from donald trump and mayor jenny durkin. correspondent jeff paul joins us from our west coast newsroom. >> a federal judge in seattle city council taking action in mid june to stop seattle police

from using things like pepper spray when dealing with crowds. however just one day ago that is exactly what offices used as they began to clear out the chop zone. here's where things get complicated, the court order still gives the okay to use count control weapons in certain situations like if those offices are facing physical harm embassy counsel legislation that bans the use of those weapons isn't even active yet. today wearing helmets and body armor, seattle police went to the area clearing out anything and anyone who might have remained in the chop zone. police arrested around 3 dozen people with charges ferrying from failure to disperse, obstruction, to assault and unlawful weapons position. seattle mayor jenny durkin has faced criticism by some who say she has allowed this to go on too long plus she supported the arrest today but doesn't support constituting everyone involved. >> i believe charges should not be filed against individuals

arrested only for misdemeanor obstruction, failure to disperse for trespassing. as we move forward in healing alternatives to charging a, sanction are also important. >> fences were torn down and see the crews use their hands and machinery for leftover trash and other items. it is just the start of what will likely be a long road forward in the area. is this owners looking to repair damage and scrub off any graffiti that might remain, the shutdown of chop comes after multiple shootings took place in the area two which were fatal, the father of one of those victims has strong words regarding the chop zone. >> they should have been disbanded long time ago. i understand black lives matter and everything going on in everything but that is not my movement right now. my movement is that was my son, you know what i'm saying. i don't know.

i'm not with whatever this, all this going on, none of that, don't know nothing about that. all i know is this was my son and i love him. >> some of the protest groups within the chop zone said previously that their work will go on despite being pushed out, time will tell. mike: in los angeles kelly alex villain away versus plans to defund the police will have an adverse impact on public safety. earlier he appeared on hannity and spoke about unintended consequences. >> they talk about cutting narcotics pure, major crimes bureau that is organized crime, all these different entities. at the minimum we have to detail them, cases will not be investigated, they will have a

bigger workload. >> to here to talk about the state of policing, then had an, heather mcdonald, great to have you. let me get you to react to what the sheriff of los angeles county said there. your thoughts. >> the lapd reported the first week of june had a 250% increase in homicides as a result of the culture of lawlessness that the nation's the leads and mainstream institutions have been if not applauding turning their eyes away from. also gotten the message they can break the law, they can destroy, torch, shoot at cops, destroy squad cars with virtual impunity. the idea that any law enforcement body in this country is somehow overstaffed is

ludicrous, we saw what happened and we will get more over the course of the summer, these cops are working 16 hour days, exhausted, demoralized. the cutting of police forces further will result in more crime, longer response time, more stressed-out officers. the narrative about a racist police system has got to stop. it is resulting in policies that are detrimental to public safety and it is resulting in hatred being directed at the cops on a daily basis as they tried to enforce the law and keep people safe from criminals. >> new york city has cut $1 billion out of the nypd budget. you know who is the plan, new york governor andrew cuomo. >> does it change the use of force policy? are they going to stop beating people? what does it do to change anything that we have been protesting about? would it have saved george

ford's life? would it have saved a goner's life? come on. >> do you favor cuomo over bill diblasio? >> not necessarily. of cuomo says there's a culture of brutality i do not. i think almost trying to be cute, rabbinical and so wise above the fray. about a get out there and say the thing that happened on sunday when cops were pelted with glass bottles and trash, for responding to shots fired call picked up by technology, trying to protect people from getting shot, how about he tells the people of new york do not treat the cops that way. cuomo talked about lack of respect or trust between the community and the police. it is a 2-way street. of course there are cops that need training in de-escalation and courtesy and respect for the

public needs to be told respect law enforcement. >> alexandria ocasio cortez worried about gimmicks, defunding police means defunding police, it does not mean budget tricks or funny math or moving school police officers to the department of education budget so the same police remain in schools so is diblasio cutting or just moving money around? >> i would say he is cutting. he has cut one if not two recruit classes. listen, the police, police officers are lucky to get new cadet classes who want to go to the academy and become police officers. in about 6 months there will be no more. retirements are being filed at a record rate. nobody wants to go into a profession where the first thing you step on the job you told you are a racist. you get hostility, resistance to arrest, this budget will make a big difference. we will lose 1000 officers through attrition. bill diblasio and cuomo should

go to attend a meeting in the 40 first precinct and tell those good people you would get less cops. they want more cops, more policing, they want the drug dealers off the street, the streets cleared of youth hanging out because they know that is where the drive-by shooting emanates from in many cases. this is the wrong narrative and our politicians are letting us down. they lost illegitimacy completely. mike: thanks very much, we have to leave it there. a stunning twist in the jeffrey epstein saga. we will be back after this. ba, we switched to new tide plus downy free. it's gentle on her skin, and dermatologist recommended. new tide pods plus downy free. safe for sensitive skin with eczema and psoriasis. well now there's score!, from force factor, to rev your libido and maximize physical response. it's no wonder force factor is the #1 fastest-growing men's health brand at walmart. unleash your potential in the bedroom with score!.

this means, great to have you. take a listen to the acting us attorney for the southern district of new york. >> we would welcome prince andrew coming in to talk with us. we would like to have the benefit of his statement. as we previously said we would welcome his coming in and giving us an opportunity to hear his statement. >> what about the prince? >> the chances of him coming in are about as realistic as me playing in the nba at 52 years of age. it is not happening. if i'm representing him i say thank you for the kind invitation but respectfully we will decline and i said to him privately you understand the fish that kept its mouth shut never got caught leaders overwhelming evidence of his involvement in his whole conspiracy, taking an active part and abusing at least one girl in particular. he is not going to say anything. for what? >> tomorrow's deadline, keep her alive, her hands woman finally

cuffed and should we expect her to give up significant information trying to cut a deal? >> a former lawyer that something i have to explore and it is up to her to decide. the difference between federal court in state court is generally you have no idea what you're going to get if anything so you have to sit down and say there are no promises. you can give peoples names and if we can't get prosecution the government will say we are not going to recommend any time off. she has a lot to lose if she pleads guilty, she may take her chances at a trial. >> none of them have been held accountable. >> a much bigger iceberg. >> take everybody now. the monsters are still out

there. you took our freedom, now we are going to take yours. >> the close friends of jeffrey epstein, she is alive and in custody. >> they should be concerned. i watched that documentary. i'm a defense lawyer for 20 some years. i believe in the perception of innocence. i don't know if she's guilty a lot. presumptive innocence only applies in, the court with the jurors who will preside over her case was the court of public in -- public opinion, i carefully watched and weighed the credibility of each of the persons the interview. she looked really guilty. i believe every single one of those witnesses and she knows she is in deep do do as we say in the legal arena and she needs to cut her losses. mike: thanks for your time. as we prepare to celebrate independence day the report you need to hear if you are thinking about hitting the beach this weekend. harmful bacteria lurk just below the gum line.
