businesses the cars and personal property that has been destroyed? the mayor, ed mayor rawlings-blake could be legally liable because she gave space her career appears to have gone up in flames and continue tonight. the financial liability may be mounting each day the police fail to bring order to the streets. and a belligerent act by ibm that may be considered an act of war. carrying out a deliberately provocative act in the strait of hormuz. the every did navy fired on a container ship bordered and then can -- to control an aircraft has been

dispensed to the scene and robert scales as among our guests as he assesses the situation militarily. parts of downtown baltimore resembled a war zone. with the mayor's index performance is likely ended her career to give them space to destroy to her late decision to ask for help from the national guard. it is now in place and more police are in the streets but what will the of rioters do tonight? we have the latest from baltimore. >> local residents ted chin to clean up the mess to torricelli's to 144 vehicles in 15 buildings looting stores attacking police and firefighters in journalist

with cinderblocks and bottles. this is some of what we encountered monday night. at least 20 officers were injured and 200 people arrested. the violence erupted soon after the funeral for freddie great who'd died one week after his byline partially severed well in police custody. his sister says this is not what her brother would have wanted. >> i don't like that at all. >> this corner store was one of the businesses burned. they have owned the home next door 50 years. >> is burned down. i took the hit. now it is gone. an innocent victim.

>> national guard troops have been deployed to assist the baltimore city cops and thousands more soldiers and police officers are on standby. >> we will is put as much resources out as we can to make sure we do not have that situation. >> today we saw more what baltimore is about with people coming together to play in our city and clean the city to help heal the city. i think this can be our defining moment. >> city officials defended their initial response saying the investigators were 14 year-old kids and force would not have been appropriate. the issue to see the police are here with s.w.a.t. year we just had a large group of protesters had baptistry

right to wear the pharmacy was burned last night and things are much calmer tonight officials are hoping with a curfew in effect with boots on the ground it will remain call but the fallout continues. there is the baseball game to be played tomorrow at camden yards but it will be close to the public the first time in history of major league baseball history engaged is played with no fans in the stands. lou: all that is going on in that city and a baseball game without fans? thank you for your reporting be safe. president obama has broken his silence on the violence in baltimore and a first he blasted the senseless violence. >> there is no excuse for that violence that we saw yesterday.

it is counterproductive. when individuals get crowbars to pry open doors for looting they are not protesting. they're not making a statement. they are stealing. but then --. lou: then he had the temerity to blame the police as well as the entire country. >> i think the police department has to do some soul-searching. i think there is some communities that have to do soul-searching but we as the country have to do soul-searching. this is not new. lou: joining us now to help us better understand what is happening on the streets of baltimore wide leadership at the national and local level has failed to actor has been ineffective.

david clark joins us tonight former secret service agent agent, former detective van fox news contributor bo dietl. but first reaction to the president's comment that he seems to blame the police departments for what is happening in baltimore. >> everytime he gets a chance to get the lead to over he stumbles. he needs to do some soul-searching to it mitt his failed liberal government policies for those living in the american ghetto. he cannot bring themselves to condemn the violence and stop there but but then through the police under the of us once again. i don't know what happened with this incident so i don't want to comment so he does not know either.

the mayor has been a disaster from the beginning. she put her officers in harm's way and tied their hands behind their backs and when not let them advance or execute or use reasonable force to be aggressive and assertive to give them a chance to win to make order for the law-abiding citizens for the city and the officers safety. weber taking on casualty's last night. i don't blame baltimore's finest i saw them retreating as they had bricks and pieces of concrete pearl that them taking on 15 casualty's will the rioters had a nine. -- zero but i expect all reasonable force to be used to clear the streets at 10:00 to maintain order to get control of that city if

they don't they may as well pack up and go home. lou: they have updated the officers injured trying to control the of riots and looting and violence the number is over 20. one officer was in critical condition last night but now they're all expected to survive their injuries. dan, how you speak to the fact this police department with the commissioner admitted he wasn't ready faber prepared? how could that be? >> there is a bizarre idea that is pervasive with big city liberal bears we saw it in 1991 with crown heights that people in these types of riots the hooligans or criminals were thugs need to

vent and led off steam to destroy. but i have to ask on what? wire restarting the story in the middle? if that is accurate why do they need to vent? because they fall under the of governance of liberal policies. not trying to make a political fight you cannot start the story in the middle. i don't think they were unprepared to think it was the mayor. lou: even the police commissioner said the department was not ready. >> that is accurate but i think he takes on the chin for the mayor. lou: but she i cannot even imagine and she has a career anymore. what has been your reaction

as a former police officer? to hear a mayor say that? >> when she comes off with a statement these are young kids that is why she didn't want the cops but then i listened to my president i think it was 640 murders in baltimore last year and they are young black kids killed by gang members. they are killed. the cops are not killing them also you will have 80 or 100 cops killed across the nation then he comes up with the wrong numbers. if they are getting pelted with those rocks and concrete than on top of it these poor people save their money to make a business and it is gone then dave berndt

of senior housing development for old people? lou: also with the idea that the mayor and others talk about how transitory a dozen have been impact that somehow somebody will waive the wind. >> that is hogwash to listen to her talk she is the most incompetent person i have ever heard for her to come up with the statements every two minutes she should be taken now in a straitjacket. lou: the governor deserves special attention because governor hogan said he is taking control to make this statement with the mayor standing there with her jos' lack meaning he brings his entire cabinet to baltimore to take action is stirring -- assuring the people there will be proud of what they accomplish now?

>> it is a day late and a dollar short. lot of that is symbolism the governor should have acted last night. he is the governor it is his state he should have acted unilaterally and sent in the national guard on sunday so they could quickly move those reinforcements. i don't like that kind of leadership i think it is a failure at the top by everybody involved with uniformed officers of men and women and the police department was left standing without the resources to defend themselves that was bathetic to put those officers in that position. lou: than, our chief intelligence correspondent has been reporting on the analysis of social media

traffic in the baltimore area suggesting professional protesters have taken advantage of the situation that their presence is similar to that in new york gore ferguson for your quick reaction? >> right. they are heading up the crowd but there were city residents who had already planned on social media to go to the mall so was ted just the activist there was locals also and it was out there on social media adding to the mayor's problems. she should have ceded it was on twitter for the world to see. lou: some of that discussion is conducted with of media as well. but 230 arrest and 200 are adults. not children. >> as sir intelligence

report this afternoon there was supposed to be is a demonstration in support of what is going on. the social meeting it is used it went out yesterday house with a high-school kids let's go to the mall that cop started to lot get up. nobody will bother us that is the environment that there should be sued personally for malfeasance. lou: we will talk with mercedes about that very issue. you don't want to miss that because there are issues created with the bears failure to act that really have not emerged before in say the government with implications at the federal level to carry out and enforce the laws of this country. thank you very much we will be back.

roosevelt carrier last week turning the effort back to resupply the rebels and in their own way to sabotage the iranian nuclear talks the last thing the president wants right now is for this incident to rule in the final days of negotiation but it is piracy and inactive for a ship in international waters united states navy was too late to turn this around so now we're in the kabuki dance. lou: how far was our carrier? >> bay were quiet ways 60 miles. the carrier does not normally go through the straits of hormuz. they are in the arabian sea probably hundreds of miles away. lou: the reason i am asking

because of the capacity to eliminate the patrol votes and the inaction by the president it seems it is relatively straightforward of what we come to expect with a lack of serious response and a leading from behind. >> and he will lead to anything to data spokesperson retried to global this -- low ball this. the president and a administration. >> apologized for interrupting but i don't think there is anything resembling a modest level of expectation with the spokespersons for the united states state department. i take your point is exactly but this administration that

will sabotages the talks? you are we concerned about would be the president by not being gentle enough for the i iranians to be too belligerent or ambitious with their aggression? two asides are sitting at the table and seems to work hand in hand it to skip through the tulips that permits the iranians to end with a nuclear weapon. >> first of all, the iranians will get a nuclear weapon. my great fear is over the years with the revolutionary guard are going to be the ones that will safeguard it. the largest terror organization of the world what type of expectation do we have once they have the bomb the military guard will

show up to take possession? can you imagine a loose nuclear weapon under control of this organization? >> very quick. how long before they release boat? >> soon as they release that discussion they will take the vessel to attorney lewis just like they have when they milked it for all this is worth the vessel will go home. lou: general scales.

we worked very hard to keep that balance to put ourselves in the best position to deal escalate. lou: she said '' we gave space to those you wish to destroy''. lou: destroy they did for the beleaguered mayor rawlings-blake denied that she ever said such a thing. >> i never said nor would i ever say we are giving people space to destroy over city. my words should not be twisted. lou: twisted? issue really trying to blame the media? why would she suggest that the media twisted her words? wish you really suggesting her citizens should not believe their ears? again word for word what mayor rawlings-blake did say in her words '' we also a

gave those who wish to destroy space to do that as well. i feel for the mayor who was distraught and confused and seemed paralyzed and has a responsibility to her citizens and her police force to lead well and not shrink from the moment. you may ask where has been the president then? a made his first comments today in he had his blame the media response. >> you have seen multiple days of peaceful protest that were focused on entirely legitimate concerns of the community in baltimore that did not get that much attention. one burning building on

just before we came on the, a i had a chance to talk to blaine, he said today is a great day for freedom every american should have freedom to live and work according to their beliefs without fear of punishment from the government. that is what the judge ruled there so it's a victory for hands-on original joos next up, appeal. >> probably so, we'll have to see how it plays out. lou: turn to baltimore. i mean what we are watching there is disastrous for the city. businesses being torched. i'm afraid the community has been so severely wounded and it's going to be a longtime before they recover from this because of the inept leadership in part of the city. >> this is absolutely outrageous. earlier today president obama, i had a chance to watch and rewatch what he said, he really was the community organizer in chief lou. i went back with my stop watch. 90 seconds went after the criminal thugs and spent five minutes going after the police department. seeming to go after them and
