miss, tweet it to us on jer on fnc. thanks to my panel and all of you for watching. i'm paul gigot. hope to see you here next week. a fox news alert right now. live pictures from fountain hills, arizona. that is a suburb of phoenix. you are looking at a highway that is heading to a donald trump event ahead of tuesday's republican primary in arizona and a number of protesters have shut down the highway en route to the event. earlier we saw a number of cars parked sideways on the highway. they brought in a tow truck to try and bring those cars out. and as we watch this picture over the past ten minutes or so, there's even been some clashes and some skirmishes as what right now is a standoff in arizona en route to a donald trump event. >> yeah, it's safe to say that the election and the passions on both sides have certainly
10:01 am
arrived in arizona. like you said, we've been watching these pictures develop over really even the past half hour. and we -- you can see if the camera does pan out, a line of cars. and this is a major thoroughfare. i was looking at traffic, like you said, a suburb out of -- outside of phoenix. looks like it's on the northeast side of phoenix. and the red on the map is certainly appearing. we are seeing, as we pan out here, this line of vehicles. people are getting out of their cars. you really have to think of the implications of shutting down a major thoroughfare at this point. it's middle of the day on saturday. a lot of people are out, obviously. >> look at the line of cars. >> much earlier in arizona than here on the east coast. 10:01. we have been looking at these for quite some time. and the cars were lined up blocking traffic. we have seen some movement there, some of the cars being removed. but traffic at this point is not moving. arizona, a hot bed of emotion on both sides of the aisle,
10:02 am
especially when it comes to immigration. we have seen signs that say "stop trump." as you can see, essentially shutting down this thoroughfare. >> it would be hard to find a state in america more divided on the issue of immigration than arizona. and we're seeing that play out on both sides. donald trump is up significantly in the polls, in arizona. 58 electoral college votes, primary delegates, pardon me, up for grabs in arizona. and you figure that is a heck of a prize when you consider it is a winner take all state. on the other side of this, bernie sanders not too far, down south on the border, a rally on his own, essentially accusing sheriff joe arpaio, historically tough against immigration of being a bully. it's an incredible dynamic being set up in arizona and we are seeing it play out there on the highway en route to a donald trump event. >> another state that's going to be voting on tuesday is utah. and we have seen also a lot of
10:03 am
protesters there, very passionate on both sides of the aisle. and that's where we find peter ducey. he joins us now from draper, utah, where we're expecting senator ted cruz, holding a rally there, with senator mike lee. we also know glenn beck was speaking earlier. we presume we also may see mitt romney. what can you tell us, peter? >> i can tell you that the scene you're seeing playing out in arizona right now, we saw something on a smaller scale here in utah last night. there was a peaceful protest outside of a donald trump rally in salt lake city. but it really was not very peaceful toward the end of the night. as a big group of anti trump demonstrators that were chanting about shutting the event down. they weren't trying to make a counter point against trump. they were just trying to shut an event down. the agitators tore down a security tent that had been used to screen attendees at this
10:04 am
small venue. and then they charged toward the event center's front door. that's when officers moved in with shields and riot gear to protect the place. they forcefully pushed back against this line of aggressive agitators and created a pretty chaotic scene when protesters and producers and reporters alike were all shoved into the street. now inside the event, our reporter noted it was the first time in recent memory that none of the interrupting protesters at a trump event needed to be removed. trump was striking back big-time at utah's own mitt romney. he was basically calling him a choke artist, saying if romney would have won in 2008, trump wouldn't have to run right now. he would be back with his family. we spoke to a lot of folks in the line, which was very long, at trump's event last night, who said they were upset romney was attacking trump, including some that used to work for mitt romney when he ran for president and when he ran for the olympics. mitt romney, big news here in utah, says he is going to vote
10:05 am
for ted cruz. he hasn't endorsed ted cruz. he just took the stage here in draper. he says he is going to vote for him on tuesday at the caucuses. cruz making a big push here. so is john kasich. utah doesn't always play a potentially critical role in the nominating process. this time, it's getting showered with attention from all these republican contenders and residents are taking advantage of that by turning out sizeable crowds everywhere. and just a quick point about the chaos last night at the trump rally. it is worth stressing that the clashes at the end of the night were not between trump supporters and trump protesters. they were between these anti trump protesters and the police. the trump supporters, who had been waiting in line and were not able to get into the event had gone home. back to you in washington. >> all right, peter doocy reporting live. thank you so much. as we watch ted cruz there on the screen from draper, utah, on the other side of the coin.
10:06 am
the democratic side. democratic president hopeful bernie sanders is sticking with his watch out joe campaign in arizona. and we have been talking about that. sanders is in the border town of nogales. at a rally friday, slammed the county surrounding phoenix. the sheriff, though, joe arpaio's tactics against illegal immigrants. he says arpaio's actions are unamerican and bullying people who have no power. bernie sanders is behind hillary clinton, just days before the arizona primaries there on tuesday. important to keep in mind, hillary clinton has no planned public appearances this weekend. but her husband bill will campaign for her tomorrow in arizona. while daughter chelsea teams up with actress lena dunham and america ferrera at an event aimed at young women. we are watching senator ted
10:07 am
cruz as he is greeted by an enthusiastic crowd in draper, utah. let's listen in live now. >> i want to take this chance on behalf of 27 million texans and on behalf of 330 million americans to thank the people of utah. for sending mike lee to represent you in the united states senate. i know this man. i know this man in the way that can only be hardened in the heat of battle. that can only be hardened when
10:08 am
incoming is coming from every direction. and i'll tell you, when i think of mike, i think of three words. principle, courage and accountability. you know, mike and i first met back in november of 2010, just a couple of weeks after he had been elected to the senate in a shock upset election that nobody thought was possible. and he had been elected -- he wasn't yet sworn in. and we were both in d.c., and i came and visited with him and told him i was thinking of running for senate. and we proceeded to spend two, three hours talking together. actually, walking through the
10:09 am
basement of the united states capitol walking and talking about the constitution. walking and talking about freedom, about the principles that built this country. and i got to say, we were immediately brothers. one of the things we talked about was at the time there had been a recent study that estimated the value of all of the land in america owned by the federal government at $14 trillion. now at the time, the united states' national debt was $14 trillion. and to both of us, there seemed a rather elegant and simple solution. remember the days when we just
10:10 am
owed $14 trillion? oh, those were the days. look, what's $5 trillion between friends? but as we walked the capitol and talked, i discovered this is a man who loves the united states constitution. this is a man whose copy of the constitution is well-worn, the corners are bent, who the words have been read over and over again. any of y'all seen "lord of the rings?" you know gollam? for mike, the constitution is my precious.
10:11 am
this is a man who was raised at the dinner table as the son of rex lee. one of the greatest united states supreme court advocates to have of lived, a lion of the law. and mike is the child -- >> you're listening live to senator ted cruz as he addresses a group of supporters in draper, utah. he's talking about his colleague, senator mike lee. but he's also obviously going to be addressing the fact that voters will be caucusing there on tuesday. they're also going to be voting in arizona, which is a big race. it's a winner take all, 58 delegates at stake on the republican side. i want to bring in rebecca sanders to talk a little bit about what could happen in
10:12 am
arizona. rebecca, thank you so much for joining us today. >> thanks for having me. >> i want to reference for our viewers some polls that we have. full disclosure that these are polls before senator marco rubio dropped out of the race or suspended his campaign. we see donald trump very much in the lead. what can you tell me as far as his supporters that have been polling? do you see them voting on tuesday for donald trump? >> yes. from every indication that we have, he is going to sweep the state. what's interesting, is there is really a divide, though, when you look at most of the political leaders of arizona going for cruz. you saw last night him rallying in phoenix, and we had much of the arizona congressional delegation supporting him. but on trump's side, you've got maricopa county sheriff, joe arpa arpaio, almost the pretrump, the model in a lot of ways for what
10:13 am
it takes to turn out these kind of voters. and they'll be in fountain hills this it morning rallying. >> yeah, and you bring up, which brings me to my next question, and i want to show some live pictures of the area outside of phoenix. this is fountain hills. we have been watching this for about 45 minutes now. and we've seen protesters physically get out of their cars, they block this main thoroughfare. we have been watching traffic build. it's late in the morning there. i want to get your reaction as we see these protesters shut down a major highway there in arizona. >> right. so last night we heard that this was potentially going to be a plan of the protesters, and it speaks to probably a bad idea on the trump campaign side for holding the event in this part of arizona, where it's basically one way to get there.
10:14 am
and honestly, i'm somewhat worried. we've seen violence at other protests, and i'm hoping this doesn't get out of control here. sheriff arpaio has said that he will protect everyone and ensure safety, and that politics has nothing to do with his decisions, even though he's supporting trump. but he also said he's willing to send in s.w.a.t. teams and helicopters if need. so hopefully escalating the rhetoric doesn't escalate the situation. but it brings back to mind for me back in 2010 the massive protests here in arizona over the fb-1070 i am kbrags enforcement the law that was so controversial. that there were huge clashes with protesters and sheriffs' deputies and major arrests. and hopefully this situation doesn't get out of control. >> yeah, i think we all hope that.
10:15 am
but i will say that on one hand, you say perhaps it's donald trump's responsibility to move the location. but then you'll hear someone on his side say that this is actually blocking his first amendment speech. this is actually dangerous to so many people. perhaps emergency vehicles that can't just shut down a highway. it's a whole new level. it's not just protesting, it's actually quite dangerous. what would you say to that? >> absolutely. this decision by the protesters does take it up to the next level, and i think, you know -- i haven't spoken to them personally. we will have reporters speaking to them. but, you know, i think that it's a conscious decision, and they're trying to, you know, get their message across in the loudest way possible. >> all right. rebecca sanders, political reporter for the arizona republic. thank you so much for joining us, and we'll be following any developments out of arizona. thank you.
10:16 am

10:20 am
there was apparently no distress call before a fly dubai airliner crashed in southern russia. also no 55 passengers, 4 children, and a seven-member multinational crew were aboard when the plane made what was described as a steep, uncontrollable fall before crashing. the cockpit and flight data recorders were recovered from the wreckage. the plane had circled the airport for about two hours, and made several attempts to land.
10:21 am
one official said a sudden gust of hurricane force winds may have doomed the flight. the lawyer for the suspect in the paris terrorist attacks says his client will fight extradition back to france. police in belgium captured saleh ab da-salam. officials in europe certain for what could be even more suspects. >> reporter: well, that's right. you know, at last this manhunt for the paris attacker who got away has come to an end and is being formally charged in a terrorist murder. he was in a hospital last night but is now facing police questioning following a day of dramatic raids in the district of molembeek.
10:22 am
four others are also charged. during the large scale police operation, he was shot in the knee. footage showed the moment he was bundled into a car. france will request his extradition as soon as possible but his lawyer will fight it. having left the hospital, he will be driven to a prison 50 miles from brussels, where there are special isolation cells for terrorists. it's unclear how long until he is sent back to france to face justice as belgium prosecutors want to respect judicial procedure. he has been on the run for four long months since the paris attacks in which 130 were killed. he was the logistics guy who planned much of the operation. apartments, cars, hotels and there had been little evidence of him until tuesday when his dna was found in an apartment following a shootout. during that raid, he escaped across the rooftops. we know police were tipped off after he called a friend for help and that friend called the police and passed on the cell
10:23 am
phone number. it's also very important to notice this other man had been charged with participation in the terrorist murder as well, suggesting he may be directly involved in the attacks, something previously unknown. and also today, interpol is saying watch out on the borders, because accomplices may be trying to flee. back to you. >> all right. ben hall, live right now in london, following that breaking story. and now we return to our coverage of the election here, and the controversy surrounding it. live pictures now from arizona. just outside of phoenix. donald trump had scheduled a rally in a place called fountain hills, arizona. this is the road to fountain hills. the crowd estimates had been 10,000 people ready to show up at this trump rally. just now, about 45 minutes or so ago, trump protesters who with signs that say "stop trump, dump
10:24 am
trump," have shut down the highway there. not only with their bodies, but with their vehicles, as well. and over the past 20 minutes or so, we have watched a number of sheriffs' deputies show up. creating some kind of standoff. you can imagine as the traffic backs up now for miles en route to this trump rally. >> yeah, this is right outside of phoenix, arizona. obviously, proof that the election has certainly arrived in arizona. the voters are going to be taking to the polls on tuesday. arizona has 58 delegates at stake on the republican side. it's a winner take all. very passionate voices we've heard in arizona ahead of this. we spoke with a reporter earlier who said there had been some mumbling, there were some reports that folks were planning on this type of a protest. because she said fountain hills is outside of phoenix. i believe the northeast corridor, if you will. and she said there is one way in and one way out.
10:25 am
so this is a coordinated plan. she said she didn't know if there was going to be critics to the fact that since the trump campaign didn't know there were some mumbles about it, should they have moved this. that being said, that doesn't necessarily excuse the fact this is dangerous. this is closing down a main highway. this is closing down a main highway on saturday. you can see miles are now piling up with people unable to get from where they want to go on a saturday. >> where they want to go may be the donald trump rally, may not be the donald trump rally. interestingly enough, the sheriff responsible for the roads, the maricopa county sheriff, joe arrest pia, has endorsed donald trump and known for his tough immigration stances and has said essentially according to the reporter elizabeth talked to, he is going to do what he has to do to break up this protest. let's bring in steve pomrance, former assistant fbi director, chief of counterterrorism. for a little context here as to how the law relates, do you have a right as a political protester to shut down a highway, and does the sheriff have the right or the responsibility to break the
10:26 am
protests up? >> i'm not an expert on the law of the highway. i would say no, you don't have that right. to shut down a public highway. but you know, this is just a perfect example, leland, of the difficult situation that law enforcement finds itself in. every day. everybody here has got some equities, the protesters have a constitutionally guaranteed right of free assembly. they've got that. it's enshrined in the constitution. certainly donald trump and his supporters have a right -- >> to free assembly as well. >> and free speech. and certainly, the american public has a right to use the highways. so law enforcement is in a very difficult situation. one i'm certain they don't want, setting aside the controversy that also surrounds sheriff arpaio. what law enforcement does not want to see is this escalate into violence. they've got to protect he have been's rights, everybody's equities, in a scenario that potentially could lead to violence when you have a confrontation like this. that's what you're concerned about it.
10:27 am
>> we saw it lead to violence yesterday, as a matter of fact, in utah, where the protesters stormed and tore down a secret service tent. our peter doocy was there. not only did they take down the secret service tent, they tried to then storm into the event. and that's when you had this confrontation between law enforcement and the protesters themselves. i don't know if we still have these live pictures coming in from just outside of phoenix. seems like we've lost that feed. but talk to us about how difficult it is to break up a protest like that on a highway. these are some pictures from earlier to give our viewers context. it seems like it would require a lot of manpower to come out to be able to effectively break something like that up. >> that's right. again, depending on the size of the crowd. it's partly the determinant of that. and also, you want to do it with, again, a minimum of physical confrontation. a minimum of violence. as we have seen over and over again, violence leads ordinarily to more violence. they want to do it as efficiently as they can. they are well-trained to do
10:28 am
that. most law enforcement agencies, certainly, i'm sure -- >> maricopa county has an enormous number of deputies and everything else. >> a lot of the outcome will depend how the protesters respond to those incrementally increasing law enforcement tactics. they'll first ask. they'll ask people to disburse and leave. if the people do that, it ends peacefully and quickly. if they don't, it keeps ratcheting up, the police keep ratcheting up, and ultimately, there can be bad consequences. i, again, coming down on -- in support of law enforcement, which i think they deserve, most of it really depends on the behavior of the protesters as to how this thing ends. >> and we'll see how the protesters end. it's about 10:30 or so right now, liz, in arizona. as we look at what's going on there. it would be hard to find a state in the country that is more divided on the issue of immigration, which obviously has been something that donald trump has made a cornerstone of his campaign. than arizona.
10:29 am
still, he's leading in the polls there. >> yeah. and i was going to ask you, steve, when we had spoken to rebecca earlier. she's a reporter there. she said there were some mumblings about the fact this was going to happen. that perhaps the trump campaign should have chosen a different location after they had rumblings. is it up to the campaign if they hear -- do they need to take all threats seriously enough to move a rally where they're expected, almost 10,000 people to be arriving? >> obviously, that's a decision that has to be made by them. i don't know that there's a legally -- i know there is no legally correct answer to that. but, you know, you -- you hate to think there is a time in america when people can't assemble to take a side on a political contest without having to make decisions about -- especially 10,000 people to make decisions about moving based on the fact they don't think they can do it safely and without arousing riots and violence. that would be a terrible situation for america to come
10:30 am
to. >> right. well, we'll see if voters will be taken, like we said -- taking to the polls on tuesday. >> yeah. tuesday, winner take all in arizona. 58 delegates up for grabs there. we want you to stick around, because obviously there have been some major developments, not only in this issue out in arizona, maricopa county, where it appears at least from a number of pictures we're getting in there may be more than one place they're trying to shut down the highway. steve pomrance with great insight. thank you, sir. coming up, bernie sanders is in nogales near the u.s.-mexican border where immigration is a hot topic. i'll have the latest from the campaign trail, coming up.
10:31 am
10:32 am
10:34 am
10:35 am
were expected at the donald trump event. and many perhaps will not be able to get there as the protesters have shut down the only highway in and out of a area known as fountain hills, about 45 minutes north east of phoenix, arizona. now as you can tell from these pictures, this was moments ago that these were taken from a helicopter, a news helicopter circling above. the news helicopter had to go refuel at what we call an intune moment. but we have heard from the ground there as we're monitoring a number of feeds, these protesters still have the highway shut down. and they may have it shut down in a number of areas. two experts of the law, former attorney general under george w. bu bush, alberto gonzalez, joins us from nashville. as you look at this situation that is playing out there on the highways of arizona, give us a sense of how the law looks at
10:36 am
this. you have the first amendment rights of the protesters to freely assemble and the first amendment rights of donald trump supporters to get to where they're going. and as steve pomerantz pointed out, the first amendment rights of every american to use that highway. >> sure, of course. the protesters do have the right to peacefully assemble and make their views known. they don't have necessarily the right to do it on the public highway. and i suspect they don't have a permit to do so. and i suspect the police are going to try to ask them to leave voluntarily and if they fail to do that and continue to break the law, there should be consequences. and it may involve actually going to jail. again, they do have the right to peacefully protest and assemble and make their views known, but they don't have a right to do it on a public highway without a permit. so i suspect that hopefully this will be resolved in a way that it doesn't escalate into violence. that would be very unfortunate. but the trump supporters do have
10:37 am
the right to go this rally. and i think what's interesting, if i'm a trump supporter and i'm sitting in that line for a long period of time or if i'm denied from going at all, i'm going to be furious. and that's going to motivate me i think even more to be supportive of donald trump. while i understand what the protesters are trying to achieve here, i think it's very likely that it's going to backfire and motivate the trump supporters even more. >> i want to understand here how the politics of this play out, in your opinion. sheriff joe arpaio, the sheriff of maricopa county there in phoenix, is a donald trump supporter. he's endorsed trump. we have the video endorsement here. at the same time, he's the guy who is going to be responsible for keeping the traffic clear. it seems as though there's at least the appearance of a real conflict there. >> well, not at all. he's got a job to do. and the fact that he's exercised his right and made an announcement as to who is going to support for president doesn't
10:38 am
mean that he's disqualified from serving as law enforcement of that area. no, absolutely not. he's got a responsibility to make sure that the safety of both the protesters and those trying to achieve the trump rally are achieved and maintained. and so no, i don't view that as a conflict whatsoever. he's got a job. that is his job and he ought to discharge his responsibility. >> if i may jump in here, sir. the sheriff had said with a number of reporters that there had been some mumblings of demonstrations ahead of this event. from a law enforcement perspective, how do you prepare for something like this? because there had been multiple reports and mumblings, but how can you prevent an incident to escalate like this, especially when it comes to preventing, closing down a highway? >> well, law enforcement, they need to keep calm. i think there needs to be sort of an overwhelming show of force. that needs to have the sufficient number officers there to make it very clear to the protesters that their
10:39 am
continued efforts to shut down this freeway is not going to be tolerated. it will not be successful. again, it's very important that the police remain calm, that there's clear communication about the repercussions of this continued action. but i think this is -- again, i fully expect local law enforcements to act in a professional manner, and i'm very hopeful this will be resolved without any violence whatsoever. >> just so we keep our viewers understanding of what's going on. on the left-hand side of your screen is live pictures of the trump rally in fountain hills, arizona. that's the stage you can see, big american flag. looks like they're just getting ready there ahead of this rally. police there had said there was 10,000 people who were supposed to show up. we don't know how many have been stuck in the traffic, trying to get to this rally. and what's interesting as we continue our coverage of not only the politics of this, but also the police action in terms
10:40 am
of whether they're going to have to break up this protest and actually the protesters will sit down or be forced into having some arrests made. we have steve pom raerantz look at pictures coming into us. and as you know, it appears as though the police weren't prepared for this or didn't exactly know where it's going to happen. because most of the pictures we have seen of this highway, with miles of traffic backed up, don't have any police officers. >> yeah. no, i think that's a safe guess at this point from what was scene on these feeds. that they didn't have prior notice, and were not prepared. and i'm not -- again, i don't think that's a criticism. just a reality. they have hundreds of miles of roads, all kinds of things that could have been done. if they had no prior knowledge through an intelligence network or somebody who called, this broke out spontaneously, and it's especially difficult if, as we're hearing, potentially a number of different sites. but the feed we're getting -- i don't see any evidence of law
10:41 am
enforcement response yet. which i'm curious about, as to why they -- >> this is -- >> people who moved them out of the middle of the road. >> yeah, we have seen a couple of sheriffs deputies here and there. we saw them tow a couple of cars. but we haven't seen any kind of organized response in terms of, you know, dozens of officers in riot gear or vans prepared or something like that to move in a tactical way and try and clear this out. >> not to second guess. i'm sitting -- one of the things i always objected to was people sitting thousands of miles away and criticizing what i'm doing. but i don't think we're ready yet for riot gear. i don't think we're ready for that, based on what i'm seeing. >> needed it last night in chicago. >> things had escalated beyond what i'm seeing here. i don't see any signs of violence. but, again, some response has to be made. i think general gonzalez made all the correct points. and at some point in time, the law enforcement is going to have to step in and get more aggressive. >> what should they do at this
10:42 am
point? how do you allocate resources? if law enforcement and obviously the sheriff said they were prepared for perhaps protests, but protests onsite in fountain hill. we don't know exactly how many miles away this is. how do you reallocate resources, especially if they're unable to get to the location if you have all of your resources spread out in other parts of the region? >> well, a couple of things. i'm sure you're right that they were prepared. which means to me he had a number of people on duty, a larger number of people than he might have had on a normal saturday morning. they were prepared tactically. they were assembled in a way to respond to an incident. i assume that's the case. if that's so, and i'm pretty sure it is, they will be able to respond to this. it's just not that big of an area they can't respond. >> want to get in one more question before the break with judge gonzalez. former attorney general.
10:43 am
as you're watching these pictures, sir, are you a little bit surprised we have gotten to this point? in 2008 and 2004, we had protests and those kinds of things. but i never remembered shutting down highways en route to political events. >> there's nothing about this campaign that surprises me any more. no, absolutely not. and obviously, emotions are high. there's a lot at stake as a result of this election, given where we are in the country today. very controversial issues. and people feel very passionately about some of these issues. so, no, again, as long as they exercise their constitutional rights consistent with the law, that's perfectly appropriate here in america. >> former attorney general, alberto gonzalez, thank you so much for joining us. and, of course, steve pomerantz, we very much appreciate your perspective as we watch this unfold. and, of course, we'll be back with more thousand right news right after the break. here's the plan. you're a financial company that cares,

a fox news alert. you're looking at live pictures of fountain hills, arizona. it is the camera of one of our affiliate helicopters en route to a large protest on a highway. an anti-donald trump protesters have shut down the one highway that heads to fountain hills which is where donald trump had planned to hold a rally. these are pictures earlier from where they should down the rally. 10,000 people expected there at the donald trump rally. and now there is a miles-long back-up. we are waiting now to get some new live pictures from this area. perhaps some of the other areas that these protesters have could be verged on to clearly make a point today, not only in phoenix, anti-trump protesters, but in new york city as well. >> yes. we have seen the traffic really starts to form more than an hour ago when we started covering these protesters. there had been some mumblings that this could happen. i want to bring former assistant
10:56 am
director to the fbi steve pomerantz because we also saw pictures of protesters in new york. initially we were told it was peaceful but then it started to get a little bit out of control. so in 30 seconds or less when this mob mentality begins, what type of threat does that pose to law enforcement? >> it poses a huge threat to law enforcement and the public. that's what we often see. though it may start out peacefully, it may even be the intentions of 99% of the protesters to be peaceful. someone starts to agitate and things get out of control. it is a huge danger to law enforcement and the public. i have to say the nypd is the best along with washington, d.c. at handling this. >> they have a lot of experience. we've seen violence in chicago, in utah last night. we'll be right back as this story develops.

when they thought they should westart saving for retirement.le then we asked some older people when they actually did start saving. this gap between when we should start saving and when we actually do is one of the reasons why too many of us aren't prepared for retirement. just start as early as you can. it's going to pay off in the future. if we all start saving a little more today, we'll all be better prepared tomorrow. prudential. bring your challenges.

11:00 am
quite honest. the police do as well. they're going around washing peopl warning people. this started on columbus circle. it was a big group. we say about 2,000 people showed up for today. it started off peacefully but i would say probably 20 minutes ago or so the police really started getting into confrontation with the handful of protesters who were trying to get on to 7th avenue and the police pushed back and they used mace against the protesters. that's essentially what happened. now we are 20 minutes outside of that confrontation and now we are all marching at this point to trump tourer. that's exactly where the protest was supposed to end. we are trailing now actually the proteste protesters. most of them are ahead of us. that's where they're going to stage their protest. we'll see how this goes.
