[cheers and applause] he just won pennsylvania! what's going on? they were not having a good day. this is going to be even better, i think. i mean, the only difference is, the big risk is that they sent out tens of millions of these unsolicited ballots. they were trying to figure out, who did they send them to? when did they send them? who sends them back? some of these governors say you don't need certain signature verification. why would you need a thing like that? no signature verification. in some cases, you don't need a signature. why would you need a thing like that? they found 50,000 in a river. they found 53,000 in a creek. they found many in the garbage can. they happened to be from the military. many of them, they were in a garbage can, they found them. and they all had the name trump on it. isn't that shocking? there were military all in favor of trump and they

donald trump seems to encourage the small groups. i do fault the media, 100 with confederate flags, and they're giving a lot of attention, they shouldn't be governing our policy and i understand donald trump is egging them on but still. >> take solace, senator schumer, in the fact that large swaths of the american public see this as you do, as i do, it's a lot safer to stay home. and we always welcome your media criticism, i take them to heart. >> i meant it with affection -- >> no, no. it's got to be a part of the conversation. it all starts with telling the truth. >>> coming up -- donald trump

"fox and friends first" on a busy friday starts right now. shannon: you are watching "fox and friends first" on friday morning. todd: thank you for starting the day with us. let's get to that fox news alert, officials warned the third police precinct in minneapolis could explode. the station engulfed in flames during out-of-control riots raging across the 3 for a third night over the death of george floyd. >> national guard troops have been called in. >> reporter: we are blocks away from that third police precinct to building, you can see attendance at alarming level of lawlessness right now. there is ongoing looting, fires, multiple cars on fire, you see leaders and rioters trying to burst into this u.s. bank here and we have gunshots, in the short time we've been here, 6 smoke throughout the year, all types of fires are raging. we believe we are hearing people fire off guns, people walking around with bats and mas

i've been told that even members of donald trump's family have been unmasked, may be members of the media have been unmasked. there is been a lot more that have h taken place. will the doj look further into that issue? why would there be a threefold increase in the unmasking in the second term of the former

we can have the debate about whether or not there's a battle between donald trump and twitter. let's listen to what he said. he said peaceful protesters, he called us thugs and hours after that happened a black journalist at cnn was arrested for covering this story. this is why african-americans and broader than that, multicultural coalition of folks are angry today. they're angry because the president doesn't seem to get it. that while, yes, we know about the case of george floyd because that was caught on tape, there aren't journalists in the car with black men who are pulled over by police and we begin to flinched and sometimes we begin to see our funeral play out when we're in that interaction. >> this needs to be corrected. there is a distinction between peaceful protesters and rioters. there's a distinction between peaceful protesters and rioters. >> excuse me, mollie. when the president -- when the president of the united states during the middle of peaceful protests comes out and says thugs, who do you think he's referring to. >> these were not peaceful protests. people

jillian: the new censorship just hours after donald trump signed an executive order to hold the social media platform accountable.

president donald trump called floyd's death a very sad and tragic event saying in a tweet: i have asked for this investigation to be expedited and greatly appreciate all the work done by local law enforcement. he says my heart goes out george's family, friends and justice will be served. so both the minneapolis police and the state training board, you guys, say that restraint technique used by police is not authorized or taught. the university of minnesota has cut all ties with the department and will not contract with their officers for football games or other events. this incident did spark protests around the country. and this is before body cam video is released. that's yet to come. back to you. ainsley: wow, yeah. we are angst shut to see that william. i'm anxious to sight video. he was sitting there on the sidewalk. doesn't appear to resist arrest at all. so how does he end up on the ground with his face on the ground and officer's knee on his neck for so long? what happened in between? it doesn't appear that he resisted. thankfully someone there was to video this so we can stop t

president donald trump called floyd's death a very sad and tragic event saying in a tweet: i have asked for this investigation to be expedited and greatly appreciate all the

donald trump tweeted -- let me just jump in, and i'll come back to you. president trump tweeted after the riots began, let me put up on the screen, these thugs are dishonoring the memory of george floyd. i won't let that happen. he spoke to governor tim walz. any difficulty and we will assume control and when the looting starts the shooting starts. twitter hid that tweet, mollie, from a lot of people. you had to click on of something, couldn't easily retweet it, saying this was glorifying violence. was that unfair, in your view? >> president trump's words were ill-chosen and historically fraught. he later clarified, he stayed he was making a statement of fact about how looting can lead to unchecked violence which is certainly true. but the bigger issue is what twitter did there. this week's twitter's actions against the president escalated

todd: maxine waters trying to link donald trump to the death of george floyd. >> in a way -- i think they are feeling they can get away with this kind of treatment. todd: she thinks the officer who knelt on floyd's and enjoy doing it in the justice system will end up protecting officers involved. jillian: nine states in washington dc easing restrictions, many reopening outdoor seating at restaurants. todd: more americans venturing out to eat and shop. >> reporter: america moving a step closer to reopening the economy, 9 states including washington dc easing estrogens, washington dc, hair salons and barber shops, tennis courts and golf courses can reopen. the mayor pushing for a safe return to normalcy. >> the economic comeback of the district cannot happen with the stabilization and come back. >> reporter: maryland and virginia and illinois reopening outdoor restaurant seating, ralph northrom reopening phase 2. when are we going to go into phase 2? we are doing that a week from tomorrow on june 5th the. >> reporter: protesters interrupting markel rich. >> since you have been elected.

first line in it which is a letter from rudy giuliani to president-elect says i'm private counsel to donald j. trump. i represent him as a citizen, not as president of the united states. this is quite common under american law. duties and privileges of a president and private citizen are not the same. so he is making a very clear point that he's not representing the interests of the united states writ large for american national security but representing the interests of donald j. trump. >> that was always the point. he made it clear he doesn't represent -- wherever we went he said i don't represent the government. i represent the president of the united states. >> anything rudy giuliani wanted

on the politics of it, it would cost donald trump nothing with the law and order base for him to condemn that shooting. nothing. it would cost him nothing. and it might at least allow some people in the gettable votes in swing districts among suburban voters in places that he needs to add, rather than subtract if he's going to win in the battleground states it might make some of them think donald

. >> willie, i think one of the biggest tells during that time was donald trump refusing to criticize -- in fact, i believe he retweeted praise for a 17-year-old boy who drove across state lines with an ar-15 and started shooting people up, including a guy with a

battleground states it might make some of them think donald trump has not completely lost it. this is not a grotesque human force in the white house. at least he's acknowledging it's terrible that a black man got shot in the back seven times and it's not good that a 17-year-old vigilante, arguably a domestic terrorist picked up a rifle, drove to another state to shoot people. these are not hard calls. so to your point, the ineptitude on display is stunning. truly stunning. >> as you say, it wouldn't have cost him a thing. >> not a thing. >> not a thing. but again he just -- he's extraordinarily inept and misses so many opportunities any time he's had the chance to gain some momentum over the past four years he's failed miserably. let's look over a new morning consult poll out this morning. a lot of important numbers from swing states. >> biden up 8 points over president trump nationally, 51 to 43. the battleground state numbers

, acting like a rent-a-cop trying to protect property that's not his in a town he doesn't know, and donald trump praises that. that is the sort of unsteady

just think about how remarkably inept donald trump's campaign -- everyone saying he's the new

under president donald trump, we cut taxes. we rollback more redtape tape than any administration in history. follow free and fair trade. we unleash american energy. we created 7 million good paying jobs, 200 thousand right here in the commonwealth. you know, when joe biden was vice president, america actually

but under president donald trump we cut taxes across the board for working families and businesses. we rolled back more red tape than any administration in history. we fought for free and fair trade. we unleashed american energy. and in three years businesses large and small created 7 million good paying jobs, including 200,000 jobs right including 200,000 jobs right here in the commonwealth.

however, representative donald mceachin of virginia gave the democratic weekly address. he discussed

. >> virginia democratic congressman donald mceachin. >>> we move back to london. police are still facing down protesters. sarah harman made it to a camera. sarah, what have you been seeing with the pushing back and forth with the protesters and police? >> hi, alex. well, this was overwhelmingly a peaceful protest here in parliament square for most of the day. in the last hour or so, the atmosphere started to shift. things got a bit more tense. we saw protesters throwing flares over the fence towards number 10 downing street and at that point the police who had really been observing up until then did start pushing people back up that road and forcing them back. at the same time the sky opened up and it just started pouring rain which also did a lot to disperse crowds. i'm going to try to show you the scene here behind me over my shoulder. that's westminster bridge. can you see the police have

democrats, like virginia's donald mceachin, a supporter of former vice president joe biden. >> you know, he's a democratic socialist. he's an independent. he's whatever he wants to be, until it's time to run for president. now he wants to be a democrat.t virginia. >> reporter: michael bloomberg has also signaled he plans to go after sanders. he spent last few days holed up with his team in florida. aides say he's aware how answers to his last debate about questions about his treatment of women. after that diminish bloomberg released three women who accused him of inappropriate behavior from nondiclosure agreements. his longtime partner, diana taylor, defended the use of nondiclosure agreements. >> he isst was not accused of doing anything or saying something newscast tow women. that's not who he is. >> reporter: a bloomberg campaign spokesperson said it is

however, representative donald mceachin of virginia gave the democratic weekly address. he discussed police reform legislation and environmental justice. representative mceachin: i have the honor of representing fourth congressional district. americans today recognize we have to do more to address two intertwined issues in our nation -- the unfinished work of racial justice and the need for environmental justice to protect our communities. people across our country are still protesting in the streets because they believe in a better america, an america where equal justice under the law is more than an empty platitude. our communities are tired of watching african-americans maimed or killed with no account ability from our justice system. americans tire of the endless hashtags that children the compounding weight of our collective grief, pain, and rage. they deserve for their congress to rise to meet this moment in

jillian: donald trump seeks more money for americans, businesses and restaurants, fox news contributor murdoch says the president is right on this and it is time to get congress real help to those struggling. >> some targeted relief for restaurants, restaurant industry -- i am sitting just outside of an old restaurant that has been dead for months. every restaurant is coupled. they should get help because they've been told you can't do business. they are barely holding on. jillian: senator rand paul railing against what he views as overspending of taxpayer dollars to the tune of $54 billion. the kentucky republican going viral after posting his report airing those grievances.

more trust him than do donald trump in that regard and dr fauci, at 79 years of age, is somebody who has navigated americans

more trust him then do donald trump in that regard, and dr fauci,

but in 2011, the idea that president obama might start a war with iran, it was a constant theme in donald trump's comments and his tweets. so one thing that is definitively established whether or not this is the situation now is that it is the case that donald trump thought that one way an american president could turn things around politically would be to start a war with iran. that is his own words. essentially that is what he thought. that's what he said on the record. now, three days ago "the new york times" reported this, quote, mr. trump pointed out to one person who spoke to him on the phone last week that he had been pressured to take a harder line on iran by some republican senators whose support he needs

. >> reporter: just two weeks ago, donald trump said kamala harris would be a, quote, "fine choice" to be joe biden's running mate.

. >> i trust vaccines, i trust the scientists, but i don't trust donald trump. at this moment, the american people can't, either. this administration is going to have to answer to assure the american people that politics

donald trump is so terrified of running against joe biden he risked his entire presidency -- he bet the farm on his whole isn't i to kill him off politically. >> enlisting a foreign country. >> last week he asked an associate -- he's still obsessed with the work he did to try to smear joe biden. and i wonder -- we throw around electability as though it exists in a vacuum for voters. voters watched. where ever you came down as a

president ngle day donald trump has been fighting for you. tonight i'd like to introduce you to a few remarkable americans who represent that solemn pledge. who embody our president's unbreakable devotion to ensuring that america is a land of unlimited opportunity for all. jack is an 8-year-old from wisconsin. who was struggling academically and socially in school. jack's mom sara, who works three jobs to support her son, applied for wisconsin's school choice voucher program. >> we're glad we were able to get the school choice voucher to go to that school. with jack, he would have slipped through the cracks in public schools. and having the option to go to a school that fits him, has been a real game changer for us and i know that because of that opportunity that he's going to succeed and he's going to achieve that goal of being an apparatus engineer if that's what he chooses to stick with. >> laura mclin is the mother of fatal boy, who has a muscle weakening disorder. jordan was at my side when i signed a lou allowing terminally ill patients

today, fda ending the emergency use authorization for hydroxychloroquine, the drug often touted by donald trump as a potential treatment for coronavirus, despite medical warnings. agency says they believe the dosing regimens are, quote, unlikely to produce an antiviral effect, end quote. >>> we have our team of reporters here to cover all of this. we begin with the breaking news. this historic ruling for lgbtq rights by the supreme court today. now, this was not a split decision. it was actually 6-3, including a vote from a recent member of the court who came from the trump administration, neil gorsuch. the court ruling of discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity, that is, people who may identify as trans. if you are discriminated against just for that, that is now formally and officially, the court says, illegal, under a very old law, 1964 civil rights act. before today's ruling, members of the lgbtq community did have, we should note, employment protections in 21 states around the country and washington, d.c. after today's ruling, as an effective matter, this

donald trump is sending 2 million pills of hydroxychloroquine to brazil. will you take any? i don't think hydroxychloroquine helps, he says. it's bs. everything that comes to brazil from abroad has already been contaminated. many tell us they've done more than the state. the mayor has turned to mask making which means she can stare out her window. the dealers give her a little more for them than anyone else. daniel's friend had diabetes and died suddenly at home. the virus is in control here, he says. even the dealers afraid. they're imposing some rules like bars and restaurants can't have tables and chairs. it is part of living here that police could return any time. this rock is meant to block their vehicles. the last raid left at least seven people dead. now that is one part of brazil's ongoing problem with coronavirus. communities that really it seems have to fend for themselves. rio's state level is doing all it can, but its health care system isn't that well funded and the numbers across brazil are awful. 828,000 confirmed cases here. but that is just simply the number

donald trump is sending 2 million pills of hydroxychloroquine to brazil. will you take any? i don't think hydroxychloroquine helps, he says. it's bs. everything that comes to brazil from abroad has already been contaminated. many tell us they've done more than the state. naya turns to mask making which means she can stay at the window. the dealers give her more for them than anyone else. daniel's friend had diabetes and died suddenly at home. the virus is in control here, he says. even the dealers are afraid. they're imposing some rules like bars and restaurants can't have tables and chairs. it is part of living here that police could return any time. this rock is meant to block their vehicles, the last nearby left at least seven people dead. doesn't look like much but curfew, we're told this is a massively reduced street presence here. the bars, frankly, would normally be heaving, and there are still deals being done on various street corners here. this cut off again. this time by the virus rather than criminality that keeps it going from the rest of rio de janeiro. the wor

or fall as a treatment on the medical merits, not whether people think it vindicates or repudiates donald j. trump and keeps the politics out of medicine, which sounds like, you know, a pretty good idea. >> that is absolutely true. so i stayed out for this very reason. i don't practice medicine. and a very hard job. what i tried to do both before i publish this and, look at the data that we get from hospitals. look at the data that we are getting from you know, states reporting deaths, try to put that together and see what the media is telling us. i want to say one thing, i really am grateful to fox. tucker and others have helped me get the message out. this book right now, number 2 on amazon and kindle and paperback, that has something to do with you guys. there is an appetite for truth. people are aware places in the media or telling them is a little bit hysterical. they want real numbers. i tried to do that and you have really helped. >> martha: we appreciate that. i think it says something about the hunger for information and facts on the story because i think a lot of people have sai

information about many of epstein's powerful friends including prince andrew, and current president donald trump. >> dana: i'm looking forward to friday so we can get more information. >> president trump: to those in the media who falsely and consistently label their opponents as a racist, who condemn patriotic citizens, who offer a clear and truthful defense of american unity. that is what our people are doing. >> dana: of the president on america during his salute to the white house speech. howie kurtz and some in the media have stopped pretending. so is that how you see it? the media is sort of ready to pounce as liberals say that conservatives are? >> president trump knew full well that his fiery rhetoric would spark exposure but most of them are acting so shocked and horrified and appalled that they have kind of given up any pretense of fairness. "washington post," trump's push to amplify racism over his republicans, unadulterated call to arms, i think many pundits believed this all along but they are in bold in denial because they looked at the polls and they decided president trump

or is this just petty donald trump being donald trump, you said the wrong thing, you said the things i'm claiming are lies so you've got to go. >> very little practical impact for moving ahead of the federal agency. but i think it sends a broader signal. and of course when the united states tries to stand up for democracy and election integrity around the world, we often times point to our own process.

another recent poll showed that 62% of registered voters believe that donald trump is actively hurting efforts to slow the spread of covid-19 with just 31%

some on the left may vote against trump, even democrats and liberals want to vote for something, only donald trump is giving every american a sense and obviously what he accomplished in the first three and half years of his term about what can happen and what we want to have happen again. so all these rights, the president's attitude is an important one that this is not what america is, we are not divided, these are gangs, mobs that we can dispatch but we need to reassert and we will reassert who we are and that that garden is a perfect example of that and that a reminder with the vision that he can lead us forward. that is also why he won before, he spoke to things that matter to us that nobody else was saying and nobody else cared
