alone so she was able to record her husband's reaction to finding out they were having triplets. understandable shock alabor relation, horror all of it. rob: it ain't going to be easy. "fox & friends" starts right now. thanks, carley. ♪ [no justice. no peace. [equitie [explosions] steve: good morning, it is friday, may 29th, 2020. we start with a fox news alert. chaos in minneapolis. riots and fires erupting for a third straight night. the third police precinct overrun and torched during the mayhem, brian. brian: steve, this morning, fears that station may explode due to possible gas leaks. the riots raging across the city over the death of george floyd. emily? emily: good morning to you both. we have our own matt finn live

in minneapolis as the national guard is called. in matt, good morning to you. >> good morning, we are not far from that third precinct building that was evacuated and caught fire. we want to show you yet another fire happening in this area. what appears to be some type of business just engolfe engulfed n flames. there is not a lot of firefighters or authorities right now. many of these neighborhoods, officers and fire crews are just allowing these type of facilities to burn bowers they are probably so preoccupied with some things that are going around. we have seen looters and rioters smash business windows. absolutely empty stores. we have heard gunshots near and far. people have been lurking in the shadows with. rioters we saw bursting into a u.s. bank not far from here. smashing into the windows. trying to smash into the atm

machine. so lots of lawlessness and chaos going on. right now thick, black smoke in the air. the smell of smoke for really just miles and a short while ago, the president tweeted, quote: i can't stand back and watch this happen to a great american city, minneapolis. a total lack of leadership. either the very weak radical left mayor jacob frey get his act together and bring the city under control,-will send in the national guard and get the job done right. we have seen the national guard here, in fact, there were many of them, soldiers were here not long ago. and they were doing their best to maintain order here in the minneapolis national guard said that it has sent in 500 officers in this area. and we have watched as. so rioters and looters very much disrespected the national guard as they arrive. but, for now, this area is somewhat under control. even though there is a raging fire but we have seen many other areas that are complete

lawlessness, intense looting and rioting. and pretty dangerous, guys. steve: no kidding. so, matt, as we look at that building behind you. that has been torched, i understand over in saint paul id as well either looted or burned, torched as well. explain if you would what has become the epicenter though. we are talking about the third precinct headquarters. i understand it was somebody tried to set it on fire, started on fire, then the mayor ordered it out but then there was another story, according to the star tribune which is the local big paper out there that said that the city had received calls that the lines -- the gas lines to the third precinct had been cut and they ordered everybody to retreat. so, what was it, the mayor who said everybody get out of third precinct or was it this threat of a gas line cut?

>> my understanding is the short while ago, a couple hours ago the mayor held impromptu press conference where he said result mayly it was his decision to evacuate that precinct and there was that threat of the gas lines cut. we are not far from that exact building. and here in this area as you drive around, you see one fire. then you see another fire. half the time you can't even tell what is on fire. then you will turn a corner and see something like this where clearly a very large business is engulfed in flames. and there is thick smoke all across this area, difficult to breathe really because you don't know what type of material is on fire in there. we saw cars on fire. we saw, you know,garbage containers on fire. and, you know, just really horrifying scenes, seeing people smash into a bank teller window with a bat. as forcibly as they could trying to get to that bank. there are businesses all around here. here is a subway.

there is pharmacies that are completely destroyed. the windows are smashed. and the stores have been looted. and not far from here is a very large police presentation swath crew that has formed a human line. so they are trying to do some type of containment. by and large it is lawlessness. it is a senel marchio where people are lurking in and out of the shadows throughout the night. and doing whatever they please. brian: matt, it is surreal to see in america a police precinct was evacuated. the cops had to get in their car and run away as if this is iraq before the surge. an american city. and as you mentioned, it's day three. so, we should have known that this could possibly escalate or been ready for it. instead they call unjust 500 national guard in response to after day three of chaos? how much do you think this has to do with mike freeman coming

out and still not having criminal charges against these officers saying one of the quotes i will not rush to justice. the video is graphic and other evidence that does not support a criminal charge. wow. a lot of legal experts i have been watching for the last three days, nobody says what they saw didn't look criminal. what do you think this could be? >> you know, it's not quite clear the individual motive of every one of these rioters or looters out here, but one thing is clear they are taking advantage of this situation. you know, the opportunity to just smash or rush into one of these stores and loot whatever it is that they want. it's apparent that, you know, looters and rioters are taking advantage of this situation regardless of whatever their agenda might be. i do have to say the national guard was just here moments ago. they were doing their best to maintain order, bless them, because looters and rioters are getting in their face, being disrespectful to him. we can hear a chopper hovering

overboard. i'm not sure if that's law enforcement as well. right around the corner there is a large line of maybe up to 100 officers in swath gear, trying to do what seems like some type of containment in this area. we have seen that work into the minneapolis/saint paul area before. hopefully what you are seeing here will be under control soon. emily: mattsmatt, as you walking through that area how well is containment working? people lurking in the shadows and still looting. does it still seem to be really crowded? is there a lot of people in the streets there is a moment of pause and maybe tomorrow will be a little bit more muted. walk us through what that looks like and what you to see today. >> it varies by location. can you turn a corner and see people with bats. can you hear gunshots. you can hear the echo of gunshots.

people are still lighting up very loud fireworks which is obviously a jolt and very disturbing to all the neighbors and law enforcement in the area. you know, we saw people smashing into a bank, you know, trying to get into the atm, trying to probably get ahold of cash. we saw a car lit on fire. it really depends street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood. clearly, there are people who are not abiding any any type of laws around here and doing what they want. and perhaps there they're were peaceful protesters earlier yesterday or earlier in the evening. but we work throughout the night basically and it revealed a the loft bad actors. a lot of people who had absolutely no regard for the law. and we're really trying to do as much damage and destructio -- ag to do as much damage as possible. steve: speaking of bad actors, deroy murdock who is a fox news contributor was on in the 11:00

hour talking about those bad actors and how the victim in this particular instance is somewhat being forgotten. >> the big victim here, unfortunately yet again is george floyd. 24 hours ago we were talking about this incredible videotape in which this man arrested on suspicion of forgery, which is nonviolent crime, wasn't resisting arrest. he was in handcuffs. he was on the ground with a police officer's knee in his neck. and now we are not focused on that now we are focused on the police precinct on fire. cars on fire. total bedlam and this sort of thing is distracting completely from a legitimate issue from police brutality and excess force in the case of george floyd now that focus has been taken away from him and now the focus is on total anarchy and chaos on the streets of minneapolis. steve: that's certainly what it looks like. on the op-ed page of the "wall street journal" this morning they write people have a right

to protest, even angry protest. this should not be tolerance who would use the tragic death of a fellow citizen as an opportunity to loot stores, burn down buildings or throw bottles and rocks at police. brian. brian: yeah. and the family is calling for calm and they don't have enough law enforcement there. that is why the national guard is being overwhelmed. there is not enough of them. meanwhile, let's switch gears. overnight twitter flagging president trump about the minneapolis riots. doing it again it. comes just hours after the president signed annual executive order that's cracking down on social media censorship. griff jenkins is live in washington with the online battle about the chaos in minneapolis. griff? griff: brian, ainsley, steve, this morning. twitter started a war earlier this week when they flagged the president's tweets about mail-in ballots. 3:17 this morning among civil unrest in minneapolis they surely escalated this feud flag ago violations in the before you can view the president's late

last night tweet about the violence. this is what you saw. you saw violation notice that says this tweet violated the twitter rules about glorifying violence. however, twitter has determined it may be in the public's interest for the treat to remain accessible. learn more. so click through and you will see this. the president's tweet that reads these thugs are dishonoring the memory of george floyd and i won't let that happen. just spoke to governor tim walls and told him the military is with him all the way. any difficulty and we will assume control. but when the looting starts, the shooting starts. thank you. that executive order the president signed yesterday seeks to curtail legal protections for social media platted forms calling for new regulations under the decency act which indemnifies companies like twitter, facebook and google for actions taken in good faith to limit access to material. twitter tweeted this is reactionary and politicized approach to a landmark law.

section 230 protects personal innovation and freedom of expression and it's underpinned by democratic values. attempts to unilateral live erode it threaten the future of online speech and internet freedoms. this is already headed to court likely but the president threatened yesterday to quote shut down twitter now this overnight. we will see what the reaction is this morning when the president is up and tweeting. guys? emily: indeed, griff. thank you so much. there are a lot of questions about liability and how robust that immunity should be for twitter. former governor and presidential candidate mike huckabee said on hannity on fox news that twitter needs to be held liable. take a look. >> can you either be a platform meaning you are a common carrier like the telephone company. you provide the lines. you don't get to referee the conversation two people have. that's one model. that's what they claim they're. but they are not. they are a publisher. they have become a monopoly. they are not just a social media

platform. they are not different than when the government busted up at&t or when the major utilities were busted up because they were monopolies and they were filled with the lack of competition. that's not free enterprise. i'm proud of the president. thank goodness he had some guts and he did what he did. emily: just to dig a little bit deeper on that. what the governor is arguing is that under that statute, that you have to maintain neutrality for you to enjoy that immunity. that any social media platform has to be a neutral platform. just that, instead of jumping in and moderating or jumping in and producing novel content. there is another school of thought that says oh, no, no, no. regardless of it moderation they should enjoy that immunity. neutrality is when you are immune from other's content. steve: that's such a great point, emily. by the way we should point out elm live is in for ainsley. it's great to have you, emily.

emily: thank you. steve: are they a plush everywhere or platform, that's what it comes down to. they have that section 230 going forward. if they are going to start fact-checking the president and start adding the little by the way we blocked. this we just want you to know this and that. if they are going to start doing that the big question is are they going to start doing that for prominent democrats? if they do not, that's going to speak volumes about twitter, which ultimately, keep in mind, it's a private business. when you log on, you agree to their terms of service. they can do whatever you want. and if you don't like it, brian, you don't have to use it. brian: right. but if you are the subject of it, and you are being besmirched or defamed you might not be logged on but they might be calling you out which makes people wonder what kind of ramifications what you can do legally if the president has this executive order go through. jonathan turley as you know, a very respected attorney, said the latest move by twitter

against president trump only feuds calls for the government intervention. the standard of glorifying violence is so ambiguous and subjective it could be used against everything from war and peace to looney tunes episodes. so, good luck, as we said yesterday, you are in this -- you may feel good about censoring the president because you don't like his tweet last night or two days ago. you have had to be forced to sensor the chinese ridiculous statement saying we were the cause of the coronavirus. i haven't been able to do. this i don't know how to start. has anyone else been censored since they started this? has anyone put a tweet out there that twitter felt needs to be redirected or balanced out with what they call additional facts maybe from a cnn site or a "the washington post" site? so they are amping up big time. the president really needed twitter, i think, before he was president. i don't think he needs it nearly as much because he has got this thing called the bully pulpit at

the white house. so any time he's to make news, he knows how to make news. the reporters just waiting to be called. in so, they would be hurt, i think, more if he took his 80 million followers and told them follow me away from this medium and maybe point them to another medium. if it's going to come down to this. so, they are making a lot of money off the president. and the attention that goes along with it even if they don't agree with the president and some of his tweets. so i think, emily, this is going to be a war that the twitter people don't mind having, it seems. by the way they're reacting to the president's tweet last night. emily: that's exactly right, brian. and i think that this is just the tip of the iceberg for twitter. as you point out, are they going to start policing everyone and the inverse is true, too. if they choose these to fact-check, then does it mean that they're saying that all of the land fills of untruths that are on there, are they supporting that then by not saying anything. so it just answer as whole list

of question their credibility has obviously been obliterated. i agree with you it's the free market that can answer this and respond and create another alternative platform. brian: can i tap into your legal background for a second. the president tweeted what he did yesterday he came out and he said what he said about the written ballots. about the mail-in ballots. what if he just said in my opinion, in my opinion, mail-in ballots would result in massive fraud. would that make twitter feel as though they have to put attachments in to push back on the president? i mean, key easily just add those couple of words? because his followers don't care if it's his opinion. emily: are you sure you didn't go to law school and an attorney? you are exactly right. that's the thing that removes you from a fact from having to defend yourself saying it was just my honest opinion. it's how i felt at the time.

that being said, remember, this isn't a court. this isn't an actual judge there this is some guy in his 20s a millennial who ranted about trump in a million tweets of his own that is all of a sudden arbiter and fact-checker. you make a great logical point. unfortunately we can't predict what would absolve the president of being act-checked because there is not really a logical position that twitter is coming at this from. steve: right. because twitter is a private company. they can do anything they want. and you know what? they are. more on this a little later on. meanwhile our top story, minneapolis on fire after a third night of violence. rioters even torched a police precinct headquarters and dozens of businesses are damaged and looted and burned to the ground. where do we go from here? former u.s. police department lieutenant darrin porcher reporting next.

[explosion] steve: this is a fox news alert. minneapolis in flames. rioters seizing the city's thrird precinct headquarters. setting the headquarters on fire as calls ramp up for charges against officers in the wake of george floyd's death. here to discuss former neerks police department lieutenant doctor darrin porcher. good morning to you. as you look at what is happening there, a tragic death, and they are investigating. at the same time, in the three nights sense then, there have been starting with protests, then there was rioting. then there were looting and people are burning down stores. and homes and things like that. it seems like some bad actors are using this as a time to burn

down their own community. >> absolutely. we're biting our nose to spite our face. the truth of the matter is you are destroying your own communities that you live. in and ultimately you are impacting negatively upon yourselves. we need to come together in peat accordingly. in the wake of the covid-19 pandemic setting us back we drastically need these funds to bring these communities together as opposed to going backwards as a result. steve: of course. you know, there are a lot of people in minneapolis who feel that george's death is the result of will -- represents the systemic racism they call it that is exhibited by parts of that community and in particular the police, they say. you say that while there should be a call for calm, ultimately, as the investigators and the prosecutors say okay, we are

going to have a thorough investigation, at the same time, the district attorneys made it pretty clear he is going to take his time. why is that? >> well, i believe the prosecutor is referring to the teachable moments and what happened in the freddy case in baltimore. they rushed into it too quickly and as a the a result the officers weren't prosecuted accordingly. go into this smartly. therefore, taking their time, making the proper assessment, therefore they can introduce the appropriate charges so justice can be administered as a result. steve: right. but with the freddie gray case in baltimore there was so much we did not see. we actually saw a lot of what led to the death of george in that video. we haven't seen the body camera stuff yet. people are going what's taking so long? it seems pretty clear the guy had his knee on the guy's neck.

>> i'm a strong proponent in quintessential policing. and it was clear that they didn't have that type of policing or appropriate policing in this particular case i clearly feel there was wrongdoing and there should be a prosecution. however, since then, the attorney general barr has come on board with the assistance of the fbi. therefore, there is going to be an investigation amongst the federal government and the state attorney's office to ensure that we have the proper charges that come forward. therefore, it's going to take a couple of days. but i can guarantee that we're going to have a result that's going to be something that we can all accept as opposed to an officer that's brought up on charges and these charges eventually go out the window and then we revert back to what happened in the 1990s with the rodney king case and then we have the riots in los angeles. steve: and then there are echos, some have suggested, of rodney king, aren't there? >> yes, there are. but when you look at what rodney

king's family has stated and whawhat the floyd family has std in this particular cases, they are echoing the voice of calm. there is no need to burn down your communities because you are going to have to live in those communities the following day. therefore, we need to come to -- we need to come to a peaceful solution as opposed to violently burns down your communities and the state of acrimony. that's what we are seeing right now. this is hurting no one but the people in these communities. and the floyd family is on board with this. look, let's let calmer heads prevail and let the wheels of justice take their role in this particular matter. steve: indeed, some businesses there in that lake street corridor were already suffering from coronavirus and now. this some may never reopen. sadly. dr. darrin porcher, thank you for joining us with your point of view. >> thanks, steve. steve: you bet. all right. >> straight ahead on this friday, from owning the houston

[gunfire] jillian: at least seven people were shot. one of them in critical condition. hundreds gathering near city hall to protest the death of brianna taylor. the 26-year-old emt was inside her apartment when police served a warrant back in march. boyfriend shot at police. they returned fire killing her. the fbi is investigating. nine states and washington, d.c. easing several restrictions. outdoor dining hair salons and barbershop, illinois, maryland and virginia also allowing outdoor seating at restaurants. meantime in the south sports fans get the go ahead to attend outdoor games this weekend in texas. venues must limit capacity to 25%. and a sense of normalcy in maine, oklahoma and arkansas. people flocking to restaurants and malls as those states lift restrictions. that's a look at your headlines. brian? brian: he owns about 600 restaurants in 40 different states and five casinos and

that's just scratching the surface on what he owns and the success he has had in this country including owning this team called the houston rockets who is waiting to start playing again. we have got to find out what the imhee is like look for numbers or talk to tillman. cio of landry's and owner of the rockets. we appreciate the pulse that you have on the economy. where are we at now as opposed to two months ago when we shut this thing down? >> well, it's great to get a couple of the casinos open and approximately 280 of the restaurants. and the casinos are starting off pretty good. the restaurants, it's a lot slower because your suburban markets are picking up a little bit. and nothing going on in big city urban markets. we all have hope but it's a long road back. brian: immediately had you to lay off 40,000 programs there was a ppp program. instead of getting help you got a million-dollar loan at 12%. is that paying off? >> well, i mean, that was

insurance. and you need it and you want to put the employees back to work which has helped we have been able to bringback people back. when they put the ppp program in place it was for everybody certain little people didn't get it ahead of time. bigger companies get it. they realize there is an issue. there is still like 140 billion there. and i think a lot -- almost everybody that is a little company that has received it at this point. and they realize it's a problem. because i'm not a public company. i can't sell stock and raise equity to be able to do this. and i appreciate the administration realizing it's an issue when they want to get this money out to people to hire employees back. i think they are going to make adjustments to make it work for everybody. brian: bubba gump ivanka trump,

del frisco's the palm. landry's you own all types of chains with a lot of recognition. a lot of people, a lot of states are not getting you go 100 percent capacity. have you had to spend a lot of money to realter your floor plan or put plexiglass in or change your kitchen? >> well, it's been a huge adjustment only able to do 25% and 50% capacity. believe it or not, brian, remember this: around 15 to 20% of the population is unemployed. 15 to 20% is scared to go out and 15 to 20% are worried about losing their jobs. the 50% capacity isn't the problem. the problem is the consumer is still not ready to go out either because they are scared or economically they don't have the ability to do it yet and extremely worried. what's amazing about this we are doing less business but our expenses are more because of all

the adjustments we are having to make. brian: all right. let's talk about the rockets. would you like to seat rockets come back? would you like to see the nba continue the regular season or go right to the playoffs or not at all? >> well, absolutely. you know, first off. i want to do what the players want to do. it appears the players want to play. i'm not going to be out there on that court and playing tight with somebody and breathing down on somebody and if they want to play, i want to play. and that's the nba's stance, also. and what i'm excited about is if they do play, i do think we are going to play some regular season games. and the nba, listening to everybody, there has been a lot of input on this and everybody has really worked hard at it and hopefully by early next week we will know exactly what we're doing. i think orlando looks like a great place to do it if that's where we end up and bringing everybody. in and hopefully by august or september we will have a great nba champion this year. brian: and will you lose money by playing without fans?

>> well, of course we do. but you know what? i'm in this for the long haul with the houston rockets. if we lose some money this year that's okay. because i plan on owning this team a long time and this is one of those things that happened just like at landry's. you fight through it. you work through it. and you try to bring all your employees to work as soon as you can. and we will all get through. this. steve: dilman, thank you hopefully see you on the sidelines watching the rockets play. >> i hope. so thanks, brian. brian: can you imagine what he has been through over the last few months. going to be good. meanwhile the nba has to decide whether they're going to play or not. twitter tagging president trump's tweets about minnesota. this happened overnight and adding a violence disclaimer hours after his executive order cracking down on their power. pete hegseth sounds off on the social media showdown next.

[chanting] no justice, no peace. [explosions. brian: back with a fox news alert. fires erupting in minneapolis. looking at if now. third straight night. a police presingle digit set on fire during the mayhem. they had to evacuate it. steve: that's right, brian. this morning, fears that the police precinct headquarters could explode due to a possible gas leak. riots raging over the death of a memorial day of george floyd. emily: bill keller from our fox affiliate in minneapolis live on the ground. tell us what's happening on the ground right now. >> well, right now the protests actually started out pretty peaceful yesterday afternoon. a very different mood when the sun is up than when the sun is down. they did turn into violent riots overnight. by midnight you said there the third precinct was vacated.

there have been multiple fires six story will building under construction. cell phone store. looters seen by nearby target, grocery and liquor stores. target announcing that they would close dozens of stores here around the twin cities and as those groups fanned out into saint paul. numerous squad cars were abandoned and then destroyed in fact metro transit stop where they have suspended all transit service through the weekend. nothing. no buses no. light rail. no train service through sunday. and as these acts of violence and really rioting continues to spread across the twin cities, the governor, governor walz saying is he calling on the national guard to try to restore order. of course, still no decision yet on the charges against the officers involved in the death of george floyd. and, of course, continues to be a very evolving situation. even the mall of america, which was set to open on monday,

re-thinking those plans now. back to you. brian: right. because of the chaos. bill, a couple of things, real quick. i understand the prosecutor came out and said there is new evidence that came out that may make them hesitate about charging the officers and, number two, we are getting reports that there was no police presence. there were no sirens during all this chaos. this couldn't have caught everybody by surprise. was this intentional to let people blow off steam and let people burn down what they wanted? >> you know, from my understanding has been done for the safety of the officers. in fact, within just a cup will pell of hours they erected an enormous fence around that police precinct but obviously they were able to penetrate it last night. as far as the charging, it was an odd press conference. it was a press conference that made no news. as far as any information that may put charges in doubt. they did clarify a little bit later on. again, that's just the abundance of caution that lawyers and the

prosecutors take. brian: all right. thanks, bill. appreciate it. emily: thank you some. so for more on this. we are going to bring in our own pete hegseth "fox & friends weekend" co-host and author of the new book american crusade. you are from minnesota, pete, tell us your thoughts right now. pete: when you think about where we have gone in three days. i want to live in a city or a country a deli owner cease a forged $20 bill and feels empowered to call the police and knows regardless of the race or background of the perpetrator or victim those police will be there within minutes to determine what happened. that's what happened in this case. what happened to george floyd is totally unacceptable. i'm glad to see actually the district attorney to taking the time because everyone deserves justice on both sides but clearly what we saw in that videotape unacceptable. fast forward three days later and have you entire abandonment of store fronts of livelihoods of homes because the police can't answer any call because

what was -- what should have been a peaceful protest, you know, with encouragement or management from authorities, has turned into absolute violent rioting to the point where police are being -- a helicopter had to rescue the police off the top of the third precinct building that they had abandoned. that shows you over three days the thin line between civility and absolute chaos and rioting. and you have got authorities there, i believe, unfortunately, from the governor tim walz to the attorney general keith ellison to jacob fry who has no background whatsoever he was supposed to work on police community relations before he became mayor that's what he said would be his focus. ilhan omar and others there is no strong leadership in minnesota to come in and say we are going to get justice in this case but we are not going to tolerate the kind of lawlessness that ruins people's lives. ruins people's businesses and ruins people's neighborhoods and communities. that's what it has devolved into and that's why the president feels the need to step in.

steve: pete, talk about ruining lives and businesses show you one of the owners of a jewelry store who was burned out. here is lloyd drilling talking about when he can come back, if ever. >> it's a tough one to come in and see, you know, what started years ago and now the -- now it's just complete devastation. it's just like a hurricane came through. busted every piece of glass there is. old nice cases probably not another store around like it. and i don't even know if we can rebuild something like this. steve: he has doubts whether or not can he rebuild. keep in mind, before this, you had the coronavirus. and that already presented challenging circumstances for a lot of small businesses. and now this? where is that guy going to get help? pete: what did that guy do? where is the justin for him? where is the law and order for him you? said.

this minnesota has been under a draconian lock down for months where businesses are already feeling strangled by it. you have keith ellison going after businesses that want to reopen. and you distract from a meaningful cause when it devolves into violent lawlessness, indiscriminate. black people, white people across the board being affected by this. and you are not able to empower law enforcement to continue to do their job. having them retreat from neighborhoods is not the answer. ultimately. because there are businesses and there are people that deserve the same civil rights, the same protections in those areas as anywhere else. and if you are breaking in and looting, just like if you are counterfeiting a $20 bill, the police should be able to be called on and justice should be served, again, separated from what happened to george floyd, which will be determined for justifiable but none of what has happened since, unfortunately, is a reflection of something we should be seeing in our country. brian: all right, pete. coming up over the weekend do

you have something together? i know you have been working the phones. any guests at all. pete: i have been. brian: or just you for four hours. pete: don't give me my dream, brian, just straight to camera four hours. we have morgan ortagus and jim bridenstine nasa. huge weekend with the launch on saturday. i looked over at my tv as well. larry elder will be on the program as well. the sage from south central. great guy. obviously this isn't going anywhere, guys. if there is more protests tonight in minneapolis, -- not protests. riots, violent riots in minneapolis. we will cover it and bring you the latest over the weekend. pete: pete, we will watch you on the screen tonight. happy hour on fox nation. pete: happy hour 8:00. happy hour starts at 9 because because i have got to go to bed to get up early tomorrow. steve: we'll be watching you tomorrow morning at 6:00 a.m. pete: thank you, sir. steve: riots in minneapolis

sparking chaos across the country. live with the growing unrest nationwide coming up. how do your teeth get a dentist-clean feeling? start with a round brush head. add power. and you've got oral-b oral-b's round brush head surrounds each tooth to remove more plaque. for a superior clean, round cleans better. oral-b.

[explosions] brian: here we go straight to a fox news alert. fires erupting for a third straight night in minneapolis. a police precinct overrun and torched during the mayhem. emily: watch as police are chased out of their own station as explosives and fire are used to take over the city after the death of george floyd. steve: unbelievable. matt finn is live in minneapolis as the national guard is called. in matt, i was reading the national guard in large measure is being used to direct traffic at this point to allow the fire department to work the fires. >> yeah. we are not far from that third police precinct building that was lit on fire and then right here you could see the national guard and they are standing in this formation which they have been in quite some time and behind them in the distance there is still a dumpster that is smoldering and a large, maybe two or three story building that

has been smoldering for hours now. and it looks like fire crews have finally got that building fire under control. perhaps thanks to the national guard and national guard at least here in minneapolis said they are here to assist fire crews. and just to give you guys an idea some of the devastation and destruction left behind. looters and rioters throughout the night were smashing glass, smashing businesses. looting businesses. starting all types of fires. a lot of devastation and damage left here in the aftermath of these riots throughout the night. and we saw people, you know, smashing windows with bats, trying to get into banks. looting stores. stores that have been pretty much emptied there were cars on fire. fortunately right now as the sun has risen, it seems like some of the more violent demonstrations have ended and now unfortunately authorities are left to do a lot of clean-up and still putting

out fires in this area. brian: hey, matt, i don't know if you worked 24 hours. i don't know if you had a chance to talk to mike t tobin or othe. word is reporters on the scene no law enforcement no, sirens. even on day three they acted as if seemingly like this whole riot thing and the unrest catching them by surprise. and to call up 500 national guard on the third day? that's not enough, obviously. and number two is, it shows they weren't prepared. was this intentional lack of law enforcement? >> that i don't know. what we have seen is authorities keeping their distance, you know, just a short while ago we saw that business that was on fire and, you know, fire crews were not necessarily rushing to put that out at that moment. so, i am not entirely sure why authorities have been keeping a distance. but they have been allowing these demonstrators and looters

and rioters do what he want to want to do for now can you walk us through two things what does it sound like there with boots on ground. are you hearing helicopters? are you still hearing shouting? are you hearing roaring flames? can you describe for viewers who don't know the city how widespread that area of destruction is? is it blocks upon blocks upon blocks or is it sort of different isolated blocks? what does it look like there in that way? >> yeah. we do hear a chopper overhead and we could hear obviously a lot of trucks here, the national guard trucks and then, you know, the fire crews putting out the fires in the background. throughout the night, we heard a lot of gunshots near and far. and then we also a very loud smashing sound as people took bats and smashed them into glass windows trying to get into a bank teller window or busting into what appeared to be an atm

at the bank. right now the sound of the national guard is perhaps the loudest their vehicles. also, my producer and i were talking. you know, we saw maybe at least half a dozen locations where there was -- where there are fires. where there was destruction, where there were looters coming in and out of the shadows with bats and stuff like that. and so it was pretty dangerous. and this is happening in a very, i would say enemy places across the third precincts. steve: exactly. i was reading, matt, this morning in the star tribune which is the big twin cities newspaper there that this national guard deployment that we're looking at behind you is the first deployment for a civil disturbance in 34 years it's been a relatively tranquil area until this broke out. if you would, describe exactly for the people just waking up at 7:00 eastern time, describe how the third precinct police headquarters was essentially --

somebody started to torch it and then they had to evacuated. >> my understanding is that according to police, looters and rioters eventually gained access inside that precinct building which is not far from here and it did catch fire. so it had to be abandoned. the mayor held a press conference in the early morning hours where he said the decision was made to basically evacuate that building because it was just too dangerous for anyone inside. so, you can only imagine the chaos and how frightening that miive. and a lot of that i think, intensity spewed out into this area here. there is still a lot of -- if you look up, there is still thick black smoke in the area. there is still a lot of structure or dumpsters or whatever is going on back there still smoldering right now. we saw fires all over the place. we saw cars on fire. and we saw dumpster fires and a

short while ago we saw that large business that was on fire. so, a lot of devastation and destruction. brian: thanks, matt, appreciate it. this whole thing started, too. because a lot of people think -- matt finn, we will check in with you shortly. they did not charge any of the officers. they fired all four of them. there is another angle on this shows another guy sitting on them while the other knee was on his neck and, of course, george floyd ended up dying. as trey gowdy said, there is no reason why these guys can't be arrested and there is no reason why george floyd couldn't have been taken in without any violence. but, it looks like, in fact, here is trey gowdy last night. >> you take the uniform off of that police officer, just have a man with his knee on another man's neck, there would already be an arrest. i don't need to wait on the feds.

this is a violation of minnesota state law. this is murder. it's either murder 1, 2, and 3 under minnesota law. but it's one of the three. so i'm happy that the feds are investigating civil rights violation. but you can take all the time you want for that. there is really no reason that this officer has not already been charged with either murder 1, 2, or 3. brian: that's a guy that's been doing this for a long time and hardly someone to say this person doesn't deserve due process. but maybe if they're arrested and people see that there is hell to pay for playing a major role in the death of somebody, that maybe these riots don't take place. i don't know. but we will never know. this officer derek shovin seems to be somebody who has had problems in the past over 20-plus year career with discipline within the police force. we will find out much more about him, emily. emily: right. and as minneapolis essentially is burning down because people are so angry about this,

absolutely devolved, dr. darrin porcher was on with us earlier, a former nypd lieutenant and he says those rioters are only hurting their communities. take a look. >> we are biting our nose to spite our face. and the truth of the matter is, you are destroying your own communities that you live in and ultimately are impacting negatively upon yourselves. we need to come together with n. a peaceful accord and protest accordingly. there is no need to burn down your communities because you are are going to have to live in those communities the following day. therefore, we need to come to -- we need to come to a peaceful solution as opposed to violently burns down your communities in a safety acrimony. and that's what we are seeing right now. this is hurting no one but the people in these communities. steve: exactly. it will be interesting to see whatonight because everybody is calling for calm and yet, last night, once again, it devolved into utter chaos.

meanwhile, overnight, twitter has flagged the president and his tweet about the minneapolis riot. it comes just hours after the president signed an executive order trying to crack down on social media censorship, he calls it. griff jenkins is live in washington with this battle between -- this is an actual twitter war between twitter and the president. griff: it sure is, steve, emily, brian, good morning. twitter poked a bear earlier this week flagging the president's tweets about mail-in ballots and definitely escalating the feud this morning. at 3:17 a.m. they placed a violations in the before you can view the president's tweet about the violence in minneapolis. here's what you saw. it read this tweet violated the twitter rules about glorifying violence. however, twitter has determined it may be in the public's interest for the treat to remain accessible learn more click through and see the tweet these thugs are dismawrning the memory of george floyd. i won't let that happen. just spoke to the governor tim

walz and told him the military is with him on the all. any difficulty and we will assume control but, when it looting starts, the shooting starts. thank you. >> made jointly by teams twitter and ceo jack dorsey was informed of the plan before the tweet was labeled. for the executive order the president signed yesterday that for platforms like twitter. >> my executive order calls for new regulations under section 230 of the communications decency act to make it that social media companies that engage in censoring or any political conduct will not be able to keep their liability shield. >> the act indemnifies company like facebook, twitter and google to restrict access to material. twitter is calling it reactionary and politicized. this is likely heading to the court, guys. something tells me we may hear from the president today. nothing on the twitter feed right now. emily, brian, steve?

brian: yeah. thanks, griff. and i think it's very interesting that you have the president getting a second day censored hours after he signed the executive order. but they point out the violent part of it. and they said you can't retweet or like the president's tweet. and i think you can. i'm just looking at it now. you can. so i don't understand what that means. but they have a little disclaimer saying the tweet violated twitter rules. i'm just wondering was the president the only one around the world on planet earth to do something that twitter now feels as though they have to redirect towards what they think is additional facts? or that incite violence? i find it unbelievable they are taking on the president and they don't feel compelled that i can see to take on outlaw countries, the venezuela leader. these officials in china saying youth rage just things about the coronavirus, anybody else besides the president? and jonathan turley, as i mentioned last time. said this latest move by twitter against trump will only fuel for

more government intervention. it's getting personal quick, emily. emily: that's exactly right, brian. and i think any notion that twitter had any type of neutrality at all is just blown out the window now that they have done this again tonight. it pierces heir credibility to the fact of putting them on some type of elementary school playground. they are obviously all about attacking the president and as you pointed out, ignoring literally human rights violations and absolute inaccuracies that have been floating around that platform for quite some time. i want to point out quickly what was in the executive order those tenets rose out of a summit the president had in july. it's not it was created overnight and platforms were unaware of it. in fact they were active participants in it. it's incumbent on them to use section 30 to police in a better way, to use their word for it. so, it's not as if this was sprung on them overnight. and they had no idea it was

coming or they had no idea what the conversation was like about that liability. and about their immunities and about whether they should be neutral to deserve it. steve: exactly right. so this executive order orders the federal government to see what exactly can be done. not talking about changing any laws. but they are trying to figure out how to regulate online platforms like this going forward. but just the fact that the president comes out yesterday after he was fact checked a couple of days ago and said we have got to crack down on them and then twitter then has this little annotation to explain we are not going to show you this tweet until you read this disclaimer. essentially the president has got politics behind him now because obviously he is going to be able to say to his base, look, i told you that twitter was censoring me and a day later they did just exactly that. and so, you know, the president is obviously going to -- we have

heard in past campaigns and whatnot from various politicians that it works against conservatives so going forward it will be interesting to see what happens. david webb said earlier on "fox & friends first" that he has been the target of a lot of bad stuff on twitter. and what did twitter do about that? watch this. >> this is a ridiculous example. twitter has no way of saying this violates their terms. i have received worse direct threats than this on twitter they never flagged those people. those have been from public figures who make more outrageous statements. we see this every day. so i think they picked the wrong fight on this one. i think the president is right to call for both publicly and in some form a review of you who twitter behaves and how they act as a company. steve: twitter obviously has scrutinizing the president of the united states and the president of the united states is now scrutinizing twitter.

they just three minutes ago the president tweeted this out, twitter is doing nothing about all of the lies and propaganda being put out by china or the radical left democratic party. they have targeted republicans and conservatives and the pftd of the united states section 230 should be revoked by congress. until then, it will be regulated. and that is why he wrote the executive order and released it yesterday to say, brian, to the federal government, figure out how we can crack down on them it. remains to be seen whether or not they can. brian: i can't go twitter. i don't know if twitter can go through all of twitter. if you see something inaccurate or inciting violence help them out. what about this? what about this? what about this. impossible standard they are up to that they started on wednesday. here we are friday and creating a lot more controversy and an obvious imbalance balance. somebody who is in perfect balance jillian mele. jillian, you have the fair and balanced news. jillian: good morning.

that's right. we do begin with this fox news alert. gunshots ringing out during a massive protest in louisville. [gunfire] jillian: at least seven people were shot. one of them in critical condition. hundreds gathering near city hall to protest the death of brianna taylor. the 26-year-old emt was inside her apartment when police served a warrant back in march. her boyfriend shot at police. they returned fire, killing her. the fbi is investigating. the college student suspected of double murder now awaiting extradition to connecticut. appearing in court by video from jail. received a tip he was in the area. he then led police to a bag with a gun inside that's believed to be used in one of the murders.

overnight mike pompeo national security law in hong kong. >> the chinese communist party is crushing what was so special about hong kong. as a result of that the president no longer believes it is justified to treat hong kong differently than we treat the rest of what takes place under the tyranny of the chinese communalist party. jillian: new law take away political freedoms in hong kong not allowed in main land china including freedom to protest. space force rolls out a new recruiting ad geared toward women. >> i see giant leaps making a come back i see myself. the ad called make history features women newest rollings sci-fi like effects to show mission control centers and future his stick space flights. pretty cool. send it back to you. steve: very cool. everybody is thinking about spaceflight it looks like spacex is going to try again tomorrow to blast off from cape.

[beings motion] brian: a fox news alert now violence escalating overnight in minneapolis as rioters set the third precinct station on fire. here to react is steve scalise. congressman, welcome back. first, your reaction to this

violence which is not just in minneapolis it spread to various cities across the country. saw it in minneapolis two nights ago and some unrest in new york and phoenix. your reaction? >> yeah, brian, first of all, it was just disturbing watching the video of what happened to george floyd. we all mourn his loss and justice needs to be served there. but, just going out and destroying cities is not an answer to that. let's push for justice to be served and you see local officials recognizing that this has to be addressed what happened to george floyd. and let's not tarnish his memory with that kind of reaction. brian: so the president tweets out his unhappiness with how this is being handled by the mayor. says i'm going to call in the national guard. twitter doesn't like what he said. so they put some disclaimers on there just hours after he put together an executive order that would reign them in and make them accountable. almost like a plush everywhere instead of a host. what's your reaction to them

suddenly targeting the president? >> well, it's concerning that twitter seems to be picking sides now politically. and it seems like they are carrying out a vendetta against the president, that's not supposed to be their role. they present themselves as a public square had this isn't just a private company they say they are a private square. they are only censoring selectively thoughts of conservatives and high profile conservatives like the president. twitter needs to reevaluate what they're trying to do. they will literally force the creation of an alternative that's not going to be censoring and selectively censoring at worse. brian: i find this somewhat intriguing i know democrats are complained too more about facebook than twitter the way it's handled because the administration, the campaign was obviously much better at it. i'm curious to see if they are going to get on board with anything. meanwhile, let's pivot.

yesterday, speaker pelosi decides to cancel a planned vote on fisa because the president made it clear he is going to veto it. are you against fisa or want it reformed after the 17 violations pointed out by michael horowitz? >> clearly fisa needs to be reformed because it's well-known how it was abused. it was abused by people within the justice department, the fbi, to try to take down a candidate for president of the united states in donald trump. so there has to be accountability. but, look, fisa has been used successfully in the past to track terrorists abroad. that's why the law was created. it was a very narrow scope and the way it was used was supposed to be in a way that only applied to terrorists or americans who were fighting with terrorists. not to spy on a candidate for president or people that were working around him. so, the fisa court has to fix their problems internally. the bill was trying to do some reforms. didn't go far enough clearly. at the same time there was more work needed to be done.

then you throw in the fact that there still has been no accountability, brian. there has to be accountability for those people that abuses fisa court that did other things illegally in the fbi. some of those people need to go to jail. once that happens you will see an ability to come back together and get this program back on track and a right way with proper guardrails. it wasn't ready for prime time. i'm glad they pulled it. we had the votes to kill it and we worked hard to make sure that the bill would have died if it came to the floor. brian: congressman, only 30 seconds left but real quick people saying going after the origins of the russia probe, the mueller probe is a distraction in this time we have a pandemic. what do you say to those critics who say we don't need this distraction now? >> well, it might be a distraction to the people who are about to get caught with their hand in the cookie jar. these are people who literally use the fbi. there were fbi agents, not by and large all of them but fbi agents who used their position to try to take down a candidate for president of the united

states. we all ought to be concerned about it. there needs to be accountability and those people need to go to jail who abuse their power and broke the law. brian: it looks like they are going to be lining up a whole bunch of familiar names from brennan to comey to united states as early a -- yates led n johnson. we will see what happens. minority whip steve scalise, thanks so much. >> brian, great to be with you. thanks. brian: all right. coming up straight ahead. usually they are competing against each other. but this morning three swim teams are working together and calling on their governors to reopen their pools. the leaders of those swim clubs join us live. that's coming up. and the clock could be ticking towards bad breath, receding gums and possibly tooth loss. help turn back the clock on gingivitis with parodontax. leave bleeding gums behind. parodontax.

governor? >> well, i mean our goal is to collaborate with the government and government leaders to return in a safer and structured manner. we want to get our swimmers back into the pools. emily: tristan tell me what that safe manner looks like. what are the outlines that you have created to make this persuasive? >> yeah. so we have created a number of protocols. with a community in usa swimming, 4,000 member strong organization with weekly calls, different parts of the country that are back in the water. with the understanding how to create and maintain a safer environment for our athletes. contactless environment. maintaining social distancing. athletes by nature function well within structured guidelines. we really feel we can honor those guidelines and protect our athletes and protect ourselves.

emily: pete, tristan mentioned that 400,000 wide community. tell us what the athletes are saying? what are you hearing with boots on ground as a representative of that community? >> what we are hearing from our athletes are a lot of them are bored, confused, and really anxious. so that's one of our concerns is the mental health of all of this as we contact our athletes and stuff of providing structured programming and stuff to get our kids back into the water safely. emily: and, jamie, what do you see are the long-term sequences of this, even this far being prevented from being in the pool? what do you foresee happening if they are not reopened soon? >> sure, i mean, summer weather is coming in the northeast. and we're be absence of developmental water people will find ponds, lakes, oceans and

river. with the lack of developmental instruction, lessons, members of our community are at risk. emily: tristan you mentioned usaa swimming. what further steps are they taking right now to lobby these governors? >> well, they are providing ongoing support for each of what we call our local swim committees, the new jersey swimming, atlantic swimming and allegheny swimming are three of 59% of that overall structure. we meet weekly. there is a broader aquatic coalition that's been set up by usa swimming with industry peers and invested sponsors in the realm of aquatics. the culture community is small. we have ongoing dialogue with folks in texas and louisiana and california and michigan. talking about protocols that are working. folks in the water. things we need to be aware of so we can better protect our

athletes. as jamie said we really want to partner with the states to create a safe return to developmental water. developmental water whether it's indoor or outdoor is critical for teaching folks to swim because as jamie pointed out ultimately swimming will save lives. emily: very well said. gentlemen, thank you so much for joining me today. jamie, tristan and pete. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. emily: up ahead, president trump sparring with twitter on twitter just moments ago after one of his tweets about minneapolis. it's flagged with a violence warning and blocked from some users. dave rubin says the free speech war is only just beginning. he joining us next.

not, overrun and burned to the ground during the mayhem. emily: watch as police are chased out of their own station as explosives and fire are used to take over the city after the death of george floyd. brian: you can't believe this is happening in an american city. matt flyn finn is outside of onf the buildings still burning this morning. you sadly had a lot to choose from. >> yeah. now that the sun is up. we can see much more of the damage and the destruction and behind us here this shopping complex there is a large smoldering fire that has been burning for hours now. and as you can see, there is just no fire crews here on any given day a fire of this size, obviously, would result in lots of fire trucks and emergency crews. but it just appears that for now firefighters are trying to get to the various fires across this city as they can.

and the national guard apparently is facilitating them as well. you know, to my left here, and throughout this entire shopping complex, you could see all of the windows that are smashed in. we saw people overnight violently smashing windows. loot stores. empty stores really. and a lot of the people still lingering from the overnight riots are you know, also roaming around and just a lot of devastation and destruction. and a lot of businesses and business owners who are going to be hurting for quite some time and there are choppers overhead and national guard not far from here really just around the corner from that third police precinct that was set on fire by rioters and ultimately abandoned. so just a lot of destruction and devastation. brian: matt, they have had three days to get it together. see if they rise to the occasion tonight. talking about law enforcement.

they certainly have their hands full. matt, thanks so much. let's go to matt reuben familiar face on fox news and, of course, emily is still here. dave, first off, your reaction to the burning of a precinct. i mean, we used to hear about this stuff in iraq. i never thought we would see about this in america. >> everyone across the board as partisan as we are is condemning if from what i'm seeing. we have to be clear about the other thing, too. those are not protesters out there. those are rioters, those are criminals. you cannot burn down stores. you certainly can't burn down police precincts. that does not help anything. yeah, it does look like a third world country out there. and i guess we are going to send in the national guard. things are not looking good.

emily: dave, you are in southern california. when you see these images and this video, especially that pre60 exploding and police cars fleeing. it was incredibly powerful and obviously horrible to say the least. what does this recall for you of the 1992 watts riots? >> well, you know, what we need more than anything else right now is the exact same thing we need whenever this type of thing happens. whenever there is an injustice, and then there are riots after and all this, we need calmer voices to prevail. i just saw yesterday that al sharpton is heading there now. if you just look at what is happening on twitter and the rest of it. i saw this morning alli on msnbc i just tweeted out this clip telling us that you know, that the rioters are mostly peaceful. meanwhile there is a building exploding behind him. it's like we need some honest actors in this. we need an honest media and we need an honest politician or two

would be nice. that's what we need more than anything else. otherwise, these things, especially in an age of social media, they just continue to escalate. there is a lot of people that want chaos right now. and you know in this strange time that we're all living in through corona. it's like we don't need more fuel on the fire literally. we just need some adults in the room. i think you guys are doing a nice job of it and i will continue to do the same. brian: i just wonder what law enforcement's tactic is i know they have their hands full. 500 national guard is not enough. 500 is way too little. puts everybody in danger. it seems as though reporters are saying no sirens. no police presence. they watch this thing happen on the outside and we saw the chaos that's taking place. i don't know if it's going to happen again on day four. i don't know how the people of minnesota should be tolerating this even with the outrage of his death. let's switch over to trump

twitter. president watching all this hell saying these thugs are dishonoring the memory of george floyd won't let that happen again. we just spoke to the governor and told him the military is on its way. any difficulty will assume control but when the looting starts, the shooting -- when the looting starts, the shooting starts. thank you. twitter saw that. they basically put disclaimers with it. so you have to read the disclaimers before it happen. the president just tweeted in response of twitter acting again on him. says twitter is doing nothing about all the laws and propaganda put out by china or the radical left democratic party. they have targeted republicans, conservatives, and the president of the united states section 230 should be revoked by congress. until then, it will be regulated. where is this war going, dave? >> oh, man, for those of us that are in this war, my show is on youtube, districted as a podcast. the free speech war has been burning for the last three or four years. and it seems finally now it is coming to a head.

most of your audience probably knows generally speaking i fall more on the libertarian side where i don't like the idea of government regulators working with big tech. i don't like that. but trump actually using this executive action to take away protections so that twitter has to behave -- twitter and youtube and google and the rest of them so that they have to behave more honestly, i don't see that as a problem. that's just taking a way a legal protection. even for that we have to be careful what we ask for. if they have less protections they then might start policing speech even more carefully. of course, this is twitter taking direct aim at trump and trump supporters. we know all day long on twitter. you can search the george floyd or the minneapolis hash tag. there are literally thousands of people rejoicing calling for violence. every time trump tweets, cathy griffin with her tweet about the syringe with air on it on trump.

it's the selective decisions that they make that somehow always seem to be against right-leaning or conservative people. but i think this thing is just going to keep ramping up throughout the election. and for those of that's care about liberty. that care about choice and freedom. we are going to have to decide are these the platforms that we want to be on? are there other ways around it? i'm a competition guy. and i think there will be solutions on the horizon. >> that's exactly right, dave. it's important to remember, too. it's not just the tag that because they have flagged it, no one is able to like or retweet it. you use that amplification effect. that's why it's obviously censorship because it can't go any further there are multiple degrees of the impact that twitter is having on this and by twitter, we mean individual actors that are working there and getting paid to act as these arbiters. thank you for joining us, dave. >> thanks, guys. emily: still ahead, sea

celebrity chef and best-selling author this morning rocco joins us live for guilt free steak if a hit thats. that's next. flonase sensimist. nothing stronger. nothing gentler. nothing lasts longer. flonase sensimist. 24 hour non-drowsy allergy relief

steve: well, you know, being stuck at home makes it easy to reach for junk food, comfort

food. but our next guest is here to share a guilt-free twist on a fan favorite dish. celebrity chef, friend of the show, and best-selling author chef rocco dispirito joins you now and we are going to make steak fajitas and peppers are avocado mash. your new book rocco's keto comfort food diet. this is one of the most popular recipes you make. >> this is it. i'm afraid to let you see my hair though. i haven't cut my hair in 97 days. it's crazy. i did this once in high school and it didn't turn out well. okay. here it is. you see all that? steve: you look good. >> crazy, isn't it? you look good. you always look good. you are in shape. do you run or something? steve: i cut my hair with some scissors i got on amazon. >> don't do that in the kitchen, okay? steve: okay. >> you will get it all over the food. steve: what are we going to make. >> steak fajitas a piece of beef

that you cumin, paprika. once it browned on both sides i take it out of the plan and slice. it's okay if could be stir steak, fillet minion. whatever you have. i picked what was in my freezer. i didn't look at it. i just threw it in the pan with all the seasoning. steve: slice it against the grain. >> are you slicing? steve: yes, i am. >> while we are slicing, let's throw in the hot pan, the pan that you just cooked the beef, in let's throw the pepper, onions, and all that in there. yeah, nice sizzle, my friend. steve: thank you. >> you want to throw some of these seasonings in there. same seasonings. salt and pepper, of course. a little lime is never a bad idea. and this is basically a if a

heat tax caramelized with peppers and onions. i'm going to add an avocado relish. you have a hot stove. i like that. that's like professional quality. steve: rocco, we are on tv. it has to look like a tv show, baby. >> i want you to my friend guy the other week. you didn't seem so confident. have you been advancing your skills since then. steve: he was complaining about my knifknives and my knife skil. >> okay. so all these years we have been on your show cooking for you now understand the pressure. steve: i do. >> what is more difficult journalism or cooking? steve: more pressure in the kitchen because, actually, journalism as well because have you got to get it right the first time otherwise you wreck the steak. we have the steak and vegetables. put it together real quick. >> we will put the steak on a plate so we can move it over to

where we are assembling. i have got a fork. and i happen to grab a tortilla just in case people don't want to make it keto friendly. you don't have. to say the idea this doesn't have to be -- it doesn't have to have any carbs. so you put the steak down first. you put a good amount of it. and if you are doing this without store tila do it in a bowl so you can eat it like a salad. a little lime is nice. a little lime right on top is really nice. and then top it with the pepper and onion mixture right there. and these should be soft and very, you know caramelized and tasty. top that with your avocado mixture right there. and then i would add a little bit of lime again. a little bit of lime again. a little salt if you can and then take some cilantro, this is not a spicy dish.

if you are afraid of spice. if anybody out there thinking this is spicy, it's not. very, very mild. steve: it's perfect. >> perfect. good. great. awesome. did you. steve: rocco, i know you can use any steak. can you use guacamole. things can you do during these challenging times in the kitchen. and, by the way. >> use ground beef. steve: you could. check out rocco's keto comfort food diet. it's available everywhere. it is a great book. rocco, my friend. thank you very much. >> thank you so much, great to see you, steve. steve: you bet. still ahead straight on this friday geraldo rivera, judge jeanine and larry kudlow on "fox & friends" live from my kitchen. you try to stay ahead of the mess. but scrubbing still takes time.

... vo: we are ready to serve on the front lines... to fight an invisible enemy with courage and compassion... to comfort and to care, to hope, to press on, to do whatever it takes to beat the odds. we are the men and women of america's hospitals and health systems. and we're here to care for you in every way every day.

>> [chanting] brian: straight to a fox news alert, minneapolis waking up in chaos, the city as riots and fires erupt, for a third straight night. ainsley: stores and businesses looted and destroyed overnight. riots and fires erupting for the third straight night. a police precinct overrun and torched during the mayhem as explosives and fire are used to take over the city after the death of george floyd. steve: we are live in

minneapolis, standing outside one of the buildings that as you can see is still smoldering, and we can see behind you and matt, is the fire department anywhere around there? >> they were just really a few blocks away at the third police precinct building that was on fire, and they were trying to put that out and it seems like they did, but in the meantime, this building was lit up and it's still burning right now. it's a part of a very large shopping complex that was just destroyed by looters and rioters windows smashed, everything inside either damaged or taken and this large shopping complex is pretty much destroyed, and there's black smoke billowing out into the sky and there's really so much smoke all across the city right now. throughout the night, we would drive and you'd see one fire, you'd see a structure on fire and then a dumpster on fire, and a car on fire, so this black smoke is really just penetrating the air here, and it's unfortunate, because what may

have started off as a peaceful protest or a demonstration appear to have been hijacked by some bad actors, who wanted to cause as much devastation and destruction as possible, and now , a lot of the assessment and repair will have to begin. brian: matt, how much pressure is on this mayor? he seemed to be really on edge obviously about 1:30 this morning i was watching him give a press conference where he went back at the president of the united states, he tried to defend his decision to tell the cops to evacuate the precinct. how is he viewed there? reporter: well, the president tweeted he will send in the national guard if necessary, and the national guard is here and they are seemingly trying to do the best that they can and in that press conference, the mayor basically said something along the lines that the president doesn't realize the strength of the city. he's kind of out of touch with the mayor, and the situation here, so obviously, a bit of a

political feud back and forth going on there but for right now , we're in the thick of these riots and protest and the smoke so i couldn't tell you the latest on the mayor. >> matt for the viewers just joining us walk us through briefly what the escalation was like overnight and what it feels like right now. was it at about 3:00 in the morning the precinct was on fire and it seemed to reach ahead. does it seem to be under control , tell us about the tenor there. reporter: yeah, we got out in the area near the precinct around 3:00 a.m. local time and it was pretty dangerous. there were people lurking in-n-out of the shadows with bats, we heard gun shots throughout the night near and far. people were lighting off very explosive fireworks which is obviously dangerous and scary for all of the people in the area and we saw people violently smashing windows, violently trying to smash into a bank window and into an atm and

so in the wee hours of the morning a lot of bad actors were lurking and there's still a lot of people roaming around in the area and we saw the national guard form a human perimeter and three were also out with their vehicles doing their best to kind of maintain calm and peace, but throughout the night, it was a place that there was definitely a sense of extreme danger of lawlessness, and basically many people were able to walk around and do whatever they want and this is case in point because this is one of many businesses that have been devastated. steve: just heartbreaking as that fire burns itself out it looks like. matt, thank you very much. meanwhile let's go to geraldo rivera, as we do every friday. fox news correspondent at-large. geraldo as you look at those images it's so crazy to see matt standing in front of that large business and there's no fire truck around, because the fire trucks are everywhere else trying to put out the fire. what is going on in minneapolis?

and st. paul where they've had 170 buildings damaged? geraldo: you know what's happened, steve? the awful video of this poor man being killed in this reckless and cruel way, the torture of george floyd now being replaced by the rape of the third precinct in minneapolis. it is horrifying what these looters have done. they have defamed the memory of the stricken man, instead of the smug face with the officer of his knee on george's neck killing him eight long minutes the image we have instead is an old lady in a wheelchair getting beaten up by two looters trying to steal her purse. what you have is affordable housing being burnt to the ground, the third precinct being burned, minority businesses being burned. you see a violence that is disgusting in a community, a marginal community that will take decades to recover, if it ever does. it is just a tragedy, a

municipal tragedy. our hearts go out to the family of mr. floyd but my goodness our hearts go out to all of minneapolis and st. paul afflict ed as it has been by these looters, steve. brian: i want you to hear what it's really like owning a business, not only having to deal with a pandemic where the government says shut down, don't make money, but now, this owner of a jewelry store named lloyd drilling talks about what it means from here. >> it's a tough one to come in and see what started years ago and now it's just complete devastation. just like a hurricane came through, busted every piece of glass there is, and nice cases and probably not another store around like it and i don't know if we can rebuild something like

this. brian: geraldo they didn't leave anything. geraldo: i tell you the obscenity is that rather than thinking about that image of police brutality, rather than thinking of this poor manas the latest in a string of a really raw problem, an american problem that has to be confronted, what we think of instead is the smoke and the flames and the destruction of a community. when i said it will take decades to recover that's personal experience. i've covered virtually every riot in this country since asbur y park in the summer of 1970 and i have seen what happens to these communities. they shut down, they board up, they are abandoned, the tenants walk away, the landlords are busted, and then slowly the government comes back decade s later to start this repair, it is a melancholy process and this destruction that took three nights will take 30 years to repair and more than that, what it has done is deflect attention from what should have been one of the most

egregious cases of police violence we have ever seen. this was a torture. a torture murder. it wasn't just that the cop killed him in the struggle of the arrest. this was an officer with a smug look on his face with his knee on george's carotid artery keeping it there for eight minutes until he was sure he was dead. i mean it's so outrageous and pathetic it is sickening and then to have instead of that visual, the burning wendy's and the burning target and the autozone, and affordable housing and the liquor store and the atm machines and the dairy queen and the minority-owned businesses, you know, and on and on and on, just go back to west baltimore and see what happened in the freddie grey riots how long it takes a community to recover. this is awful and the mayor, i don't understand this liberals progressive all that is great but my god you've got to have people putting out the fires or stopping the fires and

arresting looters. a guy throws a flaming object, arrest him. someone else, you know, goes into a store and steals the atm, arrest him but to lay off the way they have is kind of a progressivism, gone perverted. i just don't understand it. this weak need response to this and what it has done is to leave this image of a community that has killed itself. >> geraldo you mentioned your experience and that's part of what is so impressive about you. if you could relate for us and relate for viewers, compare this with something in your past , you've covered things like this in american history for so long, and wars as well. what does this look like to you? what are we going to see from this? geraldo: it reminds me, emily most of the rodney king riots, many of these urban disturbances but rodney king started in one neighborhood, and then spread to a larger section of los angeles that was burned out for years to

follow. in this hottest real estate market in the country, you had a no-go zone. you had an urban desert and it took the innocent shop keepers many years to recover, seeing minority-owned businesses. defending their stores with their guns standing in front as rioters swept back and forth in los angeles in 1992. i think this is like that and i think that if you come back, emily we come back to this town it's a lovely town. i've been in the twin cities many many times. will come back 10 years from now , will still see the charcoal smears on the stores, we'll still see what used to be the target, of what used to be the bank or the third precinct. imagine that. imagine rioters destroying the third precinct building. what arrogance is that? how far from the memory of fallen george floyd is the

burning of the precinct. it is something, i mean it's an afront to every level of government, local, state, the feds have to get in there. where is the national guard. i know they are deployed where is the line, where are the arrests. i want to see much more police action. if there's crime there must be punishment, not this kind of burn it, go ahead and exhaust your passion and then maybe we'll talk after the town is just burnt crisp. i don't get the policy of being the mayor of embers. steve: that's such a good point. the mayor of when nothings left. the national guard it sounds like, geraldo is doing a lot of traffic control and we just saw about an hour ago with matt fin they were standing at one particular intersection trying to keep the peace. geraldo: there's restraints on their wrists that's what i want to say. steve: we have not seen many of

those images at all. geraldo after midnight, the president of the united states sent out a tweet about what was going out there and then twitter shut him down a bit because the end of the tweet said when the looting starts, the shooting starts, and twitter says that violates their rules from glorifying violence, and then they made it you had to read a disclaimer about it before you could actually look at what the president did say. this comes a day after he signed an executive order saying, you know, these online platforms have got to have some better controls because it looks like they are censoring him. going forward it does look to a lot of his allies like twitter is taking a shot at him, so unless there's even enforcement going forward where people from both sides of the political aisle are shut down, it's going

to look like they are just conservatives he will say. geraldo: i think the president's medicine is worse than the disease. he should not go forward with that executive order. i think if you start requiring these platforms to sensor everybody equally, the platforms will diminish in importance. i'm very honored following celebrity apprentice on which i came in second, the president announced for office two months later and he made me one of his original 40 odd followers and he's kept me there and i think that it's great that i have this line. i feel a direct line to the president and his tweets; however, flamboyant, he's notoriously thin-skinned but that's the beauty of these tweet s. they are kind of like the lyrics of a rock and roll song in some ways. they go, you know, vast pointed language and everybody understands that is the poetry and philosophy of the 45th president of the united states, to attempt to sensor him my first reaction was, and this is the tweet i sent out, i must

assume that you will now be censoring the tweets of joe biden as well, and it got thousands and thousands of responses, and i want to hear from twitter now, are they indeed going to censor joe biden 's tweets or the democratic national committee tweets and so forth? once you go down that road, once you set yourself up as publisher and editor then you've got a big job to do. they better hire thousands and thousands of truth seekers, and then each one of them will be challenged and then there will be an appeals court and a supreme court of twitter i think it is an absurd step for the platform to take. i urge them to step back and the president as well, and remove this from that area of first amendment contention. brian: and emily you mentioned geraldo you have so much respect for him for the record you'll have additional respect knowing he was second in the apprentice and was not second in dancing with the stars. all right? geraldo: [laughter] brian: so you have a rich

diverse background. >> emily: [laughter] brian: we'll have a dance-off at one point thanks a lot appreciate it, geraldo we'll watch this story. meanwhile, jillian mele you have the other breaking news. jillian: good morning and we begin with a fox news alert. shots ringing out during a massive protest in louisville. >> [gun shots] >> jillian: at least seven people were shot one in critical condition. hundreds gathering near city hall to protest the death of rihanna taylor, the 26-year-old emt was inside her apartment when police served a warrant back in march. her boyfriend shot at police. they returned fire killing her. the fbi is investigating. >> nine states and washington d.c. easing several restrictions today. d.c. reopening outdoor dining as well as hair salons and barber shops. illinois, maryland and virginia also allowing outdoor seating at restaurants. meantime in the south, sports fans get the go ahead to attend

outdoor games this weekend in texas. venues must limit capacity to 25 %, and a sense of normalcy in mississippi, oklahoma, and arkansas. people flocking to restaurants and malls as those states lift restrictions. >> house speaker nancy pelosi cancels a vote on fisa reform for the second day in a row. pelosi making the move after president trump urged republican s to reject the plan. louisiana congressman steve scalise joined us earlier and says people involved in the russia probe should be concerned. >> might be a distraction to the people who are about to get caught with their hand in the cookie jar. i mean, these are people who literally use the fbi, there were fbi agents, not the by and large all of them but fbi agents who used their position politico try to take down a candidate for president of the united states, and we all want to be concerned about it. >> jillian: steve scalise wants the next bill to have more accountability for people who break the law. >> and this is the sweetest story you'll see all day.

a seven-year-old boy creating a mini prom for his babysitter after learning the dance was canceled at her north carolina high school. he was even asking to attend with his own promposal, putting it altogether in his backyard, he wore a tux, as they ate chick-fil-a while social distancing even dancing with a pool noodle in between them. that's a look at your headlines what a stud. he's cute. steve: that's one way to social distance with a pool noodle. all right, thank you, jillian. 8:17 here in the east. meanwhile, in the central states , minneapolis smoldering this morning after businesses were looted and police were reported that their precinct has torched overnight. the governor calling in the national guard to control the riots but is it enough to stop the violence? we'll talk to general jack keane about that, coming up, next. what makes you, you? your cells. trillions of them. that's why centrum contains 24 key nutrients

get yours at anolon.com brian: a fox news alert it's not good news. minneapolis left in ashes after rioters hit the streets setting the city ablaze for the third straight day. nothing like yesterday though. all about george floyd and his horrible loss of life. the national guard activating more than 500 soldiers to assist the fire department and protect the community. here to discuss the role of the national guard is fox news senior strategic analyst, retired four star general jack keane. general keane, when you get the call of the national guard to go in and protect your major city like this , are you trained to handle this type of civil unrest? >> yes, certainly the national guard is trained as is the united states military to handle this , but i mean, what do we really have here? we've got a fundamental break down in leadership. in any crisis you want leaders to be able to step up and have a

degree of moral courage, certainly, to face the truth in terms of what it is, and then apply the necessary resources and leadership to get the job done, and you know, in my judgment, what everybody has seen and what's happened to mr. floyd in that tragic incident, my law enforcement friends tell me by now there's a coroner's report that obviously is saying something the cause of death is asphyxiation. that's enough for an arrest based at least on manslaughter alone so that's a failure in leadership right in the police department not only for having policemen that could do something like that and stand by while someone else is slowly taking a man's life away, but also not making an arrest when the evidence is so obviously there, and here comes the police again. what do we have police for? is to maintain civil order, to enforce the laws, and protect the people and protect their property, and it appears to me that the police have abandoned

that role and walked away from it. this reminds me of something that could happen in afghanistan or baghdad, iraq a number of years ago and this is minneapolis. that's an absolute shameful and disgraceful performance by the mayor, by the people who are in charge of law enforcement to talk about the safety of the police, of course there's an issue there, but their fundamental issue is to protect the people and its property, and the national guard is there. i don't know the scale or the problem they are dealing with and let's disclose that. certainly in coping with it do they have enough resources but they aren't even to put up a defense seems to me is absolutely irresponsible. they are there to protect the people and property. brian: great point. 500 coming in late, never going to do the job, you don't have enough, they should have flooded the zone in there at the same

time understanding people are angry, because for the unrest with the murder. it looks like the killing of this man, who for some reason prosecutors came out and said there's more evidence to look at that makes us think that it's not going to be easy for us to go ahead and just put these guys in jail for them even though we have video and we see them with his knee on his neck. i want to pivot if i can over to china. the president makes a major announcement on relations with china after they poisoned the world and 185 countries with this virus and now, they are cracking down on hong kong, the secretary of state says hong kong is no longer autonomous, so what could we do to stop this to get their attention because they seem on a break neck pace to just take over that province. >> yes well we have to recognize what's really happening here to understand how to deal with this issue. i mean, president xi has looked at those protests, pro-democracy protests all through 2019 and he's made a decision. i've heard enough and i've seen enough and i'm not going to tolerate this any more. he knows we're coming out of the

covid-19 crisis, and people will be back in the streets in very large numbers again so he's taking the authority away from the hong kong officials, who obviously went into the chinese communist party in china, and he's taken that upon himself and his national party congress to issue these laws. it's anti terrorism, and foreign interference and what does that mean? that gives him the right to arrest anybody, any time for likely anything and throw any foreigner out of the country for trumped up charge as well so this is going to give them total control, secretary of state is right when he says it appears that hong kong has lost its autonomy and we have to treat the country differently. certainly, the benefits that hong kong has had as a result of that agreement, they are a democracy and not a communist state, therefore, their business

and banking, they travel laws, the visas, everything we did with that is very different than how we handle china. i think a lot of that will start to go away. also the people involved here have to be sanctioned. the chinese communist party officials, hong kong officials, as well, but most of all, we got the look, i know the administration has a comprehensive strategy to move away from just treating china as a competitor and cooperating with them to confronting china and we have to look at that comprehensive strategy, whole of government approach to deal with that, in concert with our allies president xi clearly is weaponizing covid-19 to dominate the asia pacific region from japan to malaysia from australia to india. we've got to confront him. we may not always be able to stop him but he has to know he's

going to pay a price for it and confrontation is different than the previous policy we had which was just treat him as a competitor, and cooperate. we're going to cooperate at times with him but we must confront him and it has to be comprehensive enough clearly to understand that the united states is standing up against him with our allies. brian: absolutely, general. i'm going to have to leave it there but it's going to be interesting what the president has to announced to. one thing is he plans on maybe examining whether 150 companies get to stay on our stock exchange because they don't ever give into an audit and number two kicking out the graduate students from our university system pan it of which have military background so we'll see if that begins to get their attention. there's always a response to that. general jack keane have a great weekend thanks so much. >> you too, brian. brian: meanwhile, as chaos continues in the streets of minneapolis what can we expect in terms of justice for george floyd? judge jeanine, a former district attorney, she weighs in, next.

>> [chanting] steve: we're back with a fox news alert.

minneapolis waking up to chaos after riots and fires erupted for a third straight night. brian: a police precinct torch ed during the mayhem as the rioters hit the streets emily. >> emily: matt fin joins us live from minneapolis with a look at the damage. good morning, matt. reporter: yeah, we're right around the corner from that police precinct and you can see many of the businesses not far from it were destroyed. their windows smashed in, looted , lots of damage to furniture on the inside, there's signs and things like that have all been busted out by protester s and rioters, and then just around the corner from us, we've been showing you that store that has been on fire and it is the smoke is still billowing, and unfortunately, it looks like that building might be in an entire loss everything inside of it as well and really this entire retail area, and this shopping district has been almost entirely destroyed by

these looters and rioters overnight and we saw people with bats, violently smashing windows , rushing in-n-out of stores, getting their hands-on what they could, and you know, the suns been up for a while now , and as you're able to walk around and see some of the damage it's obviously very heartbreaking for these business owners who certainly did not ask for this. steve: they did not, and now they've got to pick up the piece s matt fin, live in minneapolis, matt thank you. let's bring in judge jeanine pir ro, the host of justice with jeanine, an author of two new york times best sellers, radicals, resistance and revenge, and rioters, leaker s and liberals. judge good morning to you. i know you were talking to one of our producers about how this case kind of echoes to you something that you saw when you were district attorney. tell us that story. >> well, you know, as da, in my county of westchester, a county of about 1 million people , there was a case that

involved an off duty white new york city police officer who ended up killing a black man over a parking space. the black man simply said i'm going to get a slice of pizza and it was a legal parking space , and the police officer didn't like it so he shot him and killed him. there were protests, there were all kinds of problems. the african american community didn't have faith in anything be done. we indicted him. he tried him for murder and convicted him, and it went up to the highest court in new york and after the case was revolved, arpaio sharpton, and many of the reverends came to visit me an they said it was the first time in new york state that a white police officer was convicted of killing an african american, and i thought to myself, you know, i didn't know this didn't matter the facts were clear, and the facts are clear here. what you have is a police officer with a record of a series of complaints over the 19

years that he's been a police officer who ended up snuffing the life out of an african american over an alleged counterfeit $20 bill he was using to buy food for his family this police officer needs to be arrested and charged with murder under minnesota law. i have looked at the penal law in minnesota. he can be charged with murder. let's not kill ourselves, kid ourselves here. the fact that the feds are looking at whether or not there's a civil rights violation , that's fine, but this man can be charged with murder. i want to know, what were those other three police officer s doing? as this is george floyd was begging saying he couldn't breathe, saying please, please, begging them, and then crying for his momma. i mean, breaks your heart.

this man who put his knee on the neck of george floyd does not deserve to be free in this country, and minneapolis should get themselves straightened out in terms of mutual assistance. there is no reason for that city to be on fire. you bring in the national guard to do traffic control? where are the other police officers? when i was da, my county had 43 different police departments and we worked together. it's called mutual assistance. when one city town village has a problem, we all come in and help do they not know what's going on or is this an intentional move on their part to allow these rioters to blow off steam as they did in baltimore in the freddie grey case, and make no, go ahead. brian: yeah, i just want to shed some light on this case. there's a new angle of the video that's now seen the police are now looking at that shows derrick shovin, the lead by with the knee on the neck, pressing his knee there, we all see that,

two other officers were on his back restraining him. did this guy, has 10 conduct complaints, three police shootings that led to no disciplinary action over his 19 years and get this , last night, the attorney comes out and says yeah, this is really bad, but there's other evidence that this does not support a criminal charge. i'll talk about that later. what, i mean, you're the legal expert. what other evidence would not support a criminal charge? >> that's nonsense. this guy was not resisting arrest. he was not only totally under control. he was being murdered by those police officers. make no mistake. this is a crime and it has to be prosecuted. justice must be swift and it must be certain, and by the way, those protesters and rioters, they have no right to destroy this country or destroy what's going on in the city of minneapolis. it's not fair to the taxpayers or to the store owners. it's just plain wrong.

justice needs to be delivered here swiftly, and if you, i dare that police chief to tell me he didn't know that this guy shovin , and those other guys weren't accustomed to doing things that called for the complaints that were filed against them. somebody knew this guy was a ticking time bomb, and the reports and the complaints filed against him make that clear. >> emily: judge i'm sure this is a topic you'll cover heavily this weekend tell us about the guests you'll have on justice with jeanine. >> justice with judge jeanine, kevin mccarthy as well as peter navarro, charlie kirk and governor lt. governor dan patrick, and what we're going to talk about also is in addition to this , the twitter thing that's going on section 230 of the communication decency act and whether or not we need to start regulating twitter if they are going to start censoring free speech, and they've asked

for it, they may very well get it. steve: all right, judge jeanine we look forward to that this weekend, meanwhile straight ahead we'll go to the white house and talk to larry kudlow and a whole bunch of stuff. stay with us. if your gums bleed when you brush you may have gingivitis. and the clock could be ticking towards bad breath, receding gums and possibly tooth loss. help turn back the clock on gingivitis with parodontax. leave bleeding gums behind. parodontax.

brian: let's bring in larry kudlow now you know larry he's the national economic council director he's with the administration and larry so much pressure on your show to try to bring this economy back after a shutdown, the self- inflicted shutdown of the country. first things first the president is going to make some news today one of our top trading partners china what they're doing in hong kong, and the way they have been

acting with this virus is going to prompt some type of white house action today. what could you give us an idea what the president is going to be signing? >> look, step back a second. china has behaved very badly, lack of information, lack of transparency, lack of cooperation regarding the virus and in with the world health organization, did a lot of damage. we know the origin was in china, and if they had told the truth perhaps things would have been a lot easier for the rest of the world, where tragically, tragically, hundreds of thousands of people have been killed. now we're coming to the end of that, which is the good news in the u.s.. regarding hong kong, brian, the breaking news this week, of course china is now violating a 50-year-old treaty signed by margaret thatcher in the late 1980s and she was british prime minister. the idea was one country two systems, and hong kong was to be

a free market oriented democratic system. china's now violating that by taking over national security, people of hong kong are curious and we will not secretary of state pompeo, no autonomy any more for hong kong. the president will have some ideas to hold china accountable and frankly, the u.s. government is, i'll use the word furious at what china has done in recent days, weeks, and months. they have not behaved well and they have lost the trust i think of the whole western world. steve: well they certainly have a lot of explaining to do. larry, i understand later today, there at the white house is an economic round table. what do you hope to accomplish? >> we'll be talking with leading ceo's steve, covering the waterfront. the things are looking better, now we're still in the pandemic

contraction, we probably haven't peaked in unemployment, and the numbers coming in in the weeks ahead are going to be very poor here in the second quarter it's a lot of hardship, a lot of heartbreak, a lot of anxiety, so it certainly isn't over but, but, i will say this the virus is flattening and coming downward, the openings are coming across the country, businesses are opening, new business applications are opening, it's kind of a list, steve of i call them glimmers of hope and growth. cars are driving more, gasoline prices are up, the mobility index is up. we're even seeing on the unemployment claims which is a terrible number, close to 40 million but it is slowing in its increase so there's hopeful signs and i think we're going to move strong into the second half of the year, with perhaps as much as 20% economic growth. we'll talk about this with the business leaders and next

steps on economic policy. we've gone through the liquidity phase now we're in the reopening phase. i think the next phase has to go back to old fashion trumponomics , cutting taxes, de regulating, things that grew the economy rapidly in the first three years plus and things that can grow the economy rapidly in the second half and on to next year, and the president rebuilt the economy and he can do it a second time. we'll have this whole conversation with the ceos and the others. >> emily: you mentioned next steps the small business administration and the u.s. treasury set aside $10 billion in payroll protection program funding set aside for community development financial institutions. what can you tell us about that and what do americans need to know about it? >> well i think on that point, it's a question of trying to

pick up the lower rungs of the ladder if you will, the bottom quinn i'll hit the most, the smallest businesses hit the most. community banks by the way have stepped up and done pretty well. we've issued i don't know close to $600 billion worth of loans for all this i think the program constructed bisect mnuchin has done very very well so this just adds to that. there may be technical changes and congressional legislation to extend the life of the loan, maybe as many as 24 weeks, we'll take a look at that but it's a hopeful sign. the key point here, we've got to reward individuals for coming back to work. that's point number one, there will be some kind of re employment bonus. we're not going to go to the $600, that's a disincentive to work, and that doesn't work, but we'll have a better idea. the president is still on for payroll tax cuts, for working people and that'll give them an increase in make home pay, and we're looking at business expenses capital gains and we want to bring

people home from china, supply chains we all learned the hard ways and that is not reliable and we want to help them with incentives to come back home to america. steve: larry kudlow we thank you very much. >> thank you. steve: the very latest from minneapolis coming up straight ahead. tempur-pedic's mission is to give you truly transformative sleep. so, no more tossing and turning. because only tempur-pedic adapts and responds to your body... ...so you get deep, uninterrupted sleep. during the tempur-pedic summer of sleep, all tempur-pedic mattresses are on sale!

>> friday morning live from americas news room we are waiting on a news conference out of minnesota at this hour where the governor will be giving an update on the situation on the ground there, where a police station was set on fire as protests over george floyd's death intensify plus the governor telling reporters he will be holding a news conference on china today, as we await that, and the feud between the president and twitter continues, with the social media giant flagging yet another presidential tweet. we have reaction live from america's news room, join us top of the hour. >> emily: welcome back to fox and friends. what you are seeing right now is footage on the ground in minneapolis. the third straight day of protests turned into riots, where a police station was set

on fire, while rioters used also explosives. cops had to evacuate caught on video, where the police cars having to evacuate out of the gate as protesters and rioters threw bottles, gun shots were heard over the video. fireworks played, businesses have been absolutely gutted and looted and as you see the destruction, not only is it widespread but it's ongoing, continuing to smolder, smoke everywhere, the sound of helicopters in the air. steve: you know what? emily it's just heartbreaking, because of what has happened to that community not only minneapolis but 170 buildings in st. paul, also have been damaged we show you yesterday, the images of a target store that were damaged to the point where target has made an announcement, brian, that they are going to close all the 26 of their stores in that area, until further notice until they know it is safe. brian: yeah it's unbelievable steve and i think people look at

the scrutiny and scruitinize the decision by the mayor to pull the police presence out of their own precinct and let it burn to the ground like something you might see in afghanistan, as general keane said earlier, where you might see we actually abandoned an major american city precinct where you saw the cops pulling out in the middle of the night. that mayor will have to answer a lot they were ill-prepared to do it. we'll take a time out and come back to wrap things up in just a moment you're watching fox & friends. flonase sensimist. nothing stronger. nothing gentler. nothing lasts longer. flonase sensimist. 24 hour non-drowsy allergy relief

but if you look to the land, it's a whole different story. from farms to backyards, wheels are turning. seeds are being planted. animals are getting fed. and grass is growing. and families are giving their all to the soil because no matter how uncertain things get, the land never stops. so to all those linked to the land, we say thank you. we're here for you because we all run together.

>> well, that's going to wrap it up for today. emily, thanks for wrapping it up for us today and brian, have a good weekend. we will see you all back on the virtual couch on monday. >> sandra: riots in minneapolis overnight, protesters setting fire to a police station there on the third night of violent demonstrations sparked by the death of an unarmed black man in police custody. good evening everyone, i'm sandra smith. >> and i'm jon scott in for ed henry who has a day off. minneapolis activating 500 national guard troops. all of this coming after disturbing video shows george floyd pinned down by a police officer as he repeatedly cried out that he couldn't breathe.
