>> that is the scene in atlanta unrest on the streets denying to . that is the story of may 29, 2020. we will see you back here on monday, but i did good night, everybody. take care barry >> of fox news alert and in jus one hour from now the cities of minneapolis and st. paul will fall under curfew. authorities there are trying to halt three straight days of rioting. we're also monitoring growing crowds in some cities across america. some places things appeared appear to be getting out of control. it doesn't look good on the lef side you can see the crowd outside the white house that is on lockdown as a result. you on the right you see a situation that appears to be growing out of control in the city of atlanta. a lot of altercations and a lot of destruction tonight. we are monitoring what's happening in a number of other

cities. earlier in minneapolis the arrest officer was arrested he was charged with third-degree murder in the death of george floyd. they destroyed precinct building . but first what's happening righ now. we go to the city of minneapolis . >> despite the arrest of the size of this crowd, the anger o this crowd is growing as we get closer to nightfall. as you look past me you can see the row of state troopers and guardsmen who are right now being taunted by the row of demonstrators still angry, but it took four days for the arrest . angry that the other officers are to this point not arrested despite the announcement that the arrest was in fact imminent.

the scene last night was unprecedented, under orders fro the mayor he determined that th symbolism of surrendering a precinct headquarters to this angry mob was less important than preserving life, the officers got their orders, they loaded up in the parking lot on the west side of the building some of them in vehicles and some of them on foot, they retreated. at that point, the knob mob lef unchecked storm the building itself they broken the windows, the frenzy of vandalism was underway. their rioters that broke and they tried to start a fire whic sets off the sprinklers, they attempted to burn it after ransacking it, they were successful. they also burnt a nearby liquor store prayed to the intensity, the emotion of what we saw on

the streets of minneapolis near the third precinct spilled over into new york, denver, los angeles, and phoenix. we are now about an hour away from curfew. we are waiting to see how thing develop. >> mike tobin for us in minneapolis. thank you. a remarkable scene of violence, destruction, and chaos across the country. we will spend much of the are keeping you abreast of what is happening. before we dive into that we wan to focus on a single thing that happened last night. a police station in major american city was occupied included. most of us assumed we would never live to see something lik that happen here. the question is has anybody bee arrested for doing that. will anyone ever be arrested? no one in the authorities seem necessarily interested in happening compared the perpetrators walked away and it is possible most of them will never be punished for it. it's a very different experienc from the one that most american have living here. as minneapolis burns and crowds grow in the streets of atlanta and many other cities, the rest of us are continuing on as they always do dutifully following

the rules. there are many of those. every year there seems to be countless new rules to follow. we do our best to keep up, we d our permit, we apply for licenses, put on her reading glasses and check the latest regulations on the internet. we wear our masks, we keep our dogs on leashes, we drive sober don't eat on the subway, don't later, we make orderly lines an patiently wait our turn in airports and government buildings we have body searches by strangers. we do this and they we accept i without complaint. in public we hide what we reall think. we bury our natural instincts t keep our deepest beliefs to ourselves. we know the boundaries. we understand we will be punished for telling the truth. this is the america the rest of us live in. for the privilege of citizenshi in a country like this, we work as hard is we can. we never stop sharing what we earn with others.

recent money we would rather give to our children to politicians in faraway city spread without money they make new rules, we follow the rules to the letter, that's what we were told to do his children, that is the deal we've struck. at least we thought it was. and now we know that other people have somehow negotiated far better deal than the one we have. they get to ignore the rules. they don't believe in order or fairness, they reject society itself. reason and process and preceden mean nothing to them if they us violence to get what they want immediately. people like this don't bother t work, they don't volunteer or pay taxes to help other people, they live for themselves. they do exactly what they feel like doing. they say exactly what they feel like saying. they spray-painted their opinions on buildings. on television, hour by hour, we watch these people criminal mob destroy what the rest of us hav built. they have no right to do that. they don't contribute to the common good, they never have.

yet suddenly they seem to have all the power. this is hardly the first time something like this has happene in america. spasms of destructive violence are recurring feature in our history. in fact in every country's history. they will say the problem is race relations or capitalism or police group brutality or globa warming, but only on the surface. the real cause is deeper than that and it's far darker. what you're watching is the ancient battle between those wh have a stake in society and would like to preserve it, and those who don't in seek to destroy it. underneath it all, this violenc doesn't have that much to do with the behavior of the minneapolis police department. for evidence watch this tape. it's from the 1992 riots in los angeles it was shocked almost 3 years ago. it could have been taught this afternoon. >> it's not right. it's not right. it's not right what you're all

are doing. i came from the ghetto too. can't you understand that? >> the first thing you notice about that video in addition to how overwhelmingly sad it is, i that it's not a racial dispute. the elderly man could be the grandfather of the young rioter swarming around him. that's misleading, they are nothing at all alike. the old man is fighting to defend his civilization veritie armed only with a hammer, but he's trying. the young men are working to tear it down. those are the battle lines, the always are. which side of that war have our leaders taken? watch carefully and it will become obvious. the rioters in minneapolis and other places, act as if they're allowed to loot and burn, and i

fact they are allowed. no one stops them. the authorities don't arrest them and simply pattered to them , desperately trying to win their love. y are masked lunatics setting fire to wendy's? because the rest of us arson full. that's what our leaders tell us. the crimes of the mob are the punishment we deserve. that's their argument. many seem to buy it. on a white house executive staf call just this morning, key domestic policy advisers brooke rollins and jerome smith argued that it might seem racist to sa anything about the rioting in minneapolis. better just to let it happen, s that's what they're doing. we should have seen this coming. when you express an opinion our leaders don't like, they call i violence. when criminals commit acts of violence, they call it speech. the game is rigged. why are the rest of us still playing? we have more power than we thin we do. our system only functions because dutiful normal people,

people with self-control and decency and above all a sense o responsibility toward others created our system. they sustain the system. they pay the bills. none of the thugs looting targe or the well paced nihilists on television egging them on have added a thing. yet all of the destroyers expec this arrangement to last forever . you can cyp right for them it's been a big deal. what exactly are you getting in return for your contributions t this system? the authorities clearly don't care about you. the police won't show up to sav your life. literally. during election years, sweaty politicians claim to be on your side, it's a lie. they're not. don't waste your time with holl paul harlow posturing. they will feed you pointless symbolic victory and expect you too celebrate like you won something. when the mob comes commit they are gone. you are on your own. that is true. those are the facts. we can't change them, all we ca control is our own behavior.

should you keep playing along with all of that? ponder that the next time they demand you get a permit to put deck on your own house. and think about it even harder the next time you write a tax check. >> those are live pictures out of the city of atlanta had tonight. fires erupting as we told you, car smashed in the street. seemingly no control. how is the press covering this? they are hiding it. they have been hiding it for weeks. last night on msnbc, a correspondent stood up during stand up, well-known anchor on that channel, and told us everything was fine even as the buildings burned behind him. no big deal. no big deal. what are they hiding? they're hiding the truth. we are going to bring it too you

. we won't overstated, were not acquaintances haitian allies that come out were not going to draw conclusions that aren't justified by the evidence, but we will tell you the truth because at your country and the filter they are placing on what's happening now is distorting the truth so completely that you will never know what's happening to your country if you listen to them. that is true. so we are going to go from city to city tonight and bring you the very latest on what's going on. in the meantime, we want to introduce murdoch, who is a fox news contributor and a longtime writer for national review who joins us now. before i ask a question, i have to get your snap reaction to th pictures that we are getting no this appears to be metastasizin around the country what is your reaction to it? >> tucker, my reaction is that this is really what we're seein the difference between civilization and barbarism.

there is a thin membrane separating the two that's about that thick. we are very quickly. it is the responsibility of leaders to point out what this line is lest you end up with total chaos and bloodshed. you showed that powerful recording from 1992 of that gentleman who his food truck wa set on fire, his finances and his way of living were destroye and an amazing story out of minneapolis and guy his folly o fighter, he took his life savings and put them into a sports bar. his plan was too open it on monday. it's not opening monday because the arsonist burned it down. he happens to be a black man. a black man whose american drea was set in flames, gone up in flames, completely by these arsonist who had no regard for his effort, for his jobs that h wanted to create, the pleasure he wanted to bring his neighbor and all of that has gone up in flames. by the way coming he had no

insurance so he is in a bad place. >> it is the opposite of what our leaders guarantee us when w elect them and send half our salaries to them every quarter. they promise, the deal is, we put you in charge, and you will keep things calm and you will protect us. you can control all the details but you can't let like this happen. why are they allowing it? they are allowing it, there is no question. >> they have this concept of allowing people to blow off steam. i'm all for people blowing off steam this is tremendous injustice the horrific killing of mister floyd the other day. everybody is seen the tape and thinks it's an awful thing, but the way you bluff steam is to protest, scream, make noise, yo don't go about that by taking a wendy's or a liquor store or some of the else's workplace an burning it too the ground. the institution to keep the society from turning into a complete chaos. the idea as well, they're just

tics pressing themselves, go ahead and let them do it. it goes for minneapolis than it spreads to atlantic and within to los angeles and keeps going and going and going. now atlanta, by the way major competitor channel of ours, let's see how much coverage the get it. >> i guess we should have been more prepared for this since they have let our cities rot fo the last decade at least. if you drive through any major american metropolis, there are people living in filth on the sidewalks, shooting drugs in th open. they have let things decay for long time to the point where yo can't live in a lot of these places unless you're really ric like most of them are. what is the thinking there? our they incapable of creating clean bright welcoming spaces, mean why are they allowing this in the first place? it's an attack on normal people. middle income people of all backgrounds. >> it's one thing to say you can't run a good school system or you can take care of the homeless problem, but it's

another when you have people sitting your police precinct on fire as the policeman run down the street in fear. that is nothing like civilization, that is called basically the state of nature a hobbs described it. you let that sort of thing happened in pretty soon you hav a situation that nobody can control. we should expect one thing out of the government if nothing else and that is too protect us and maintain order. i think if they had arrested people early on they think i don't want to spend the night i jail and back off. instead of just saying let it rip, let them do what they want and now it's metastasizing like a cancer starting in minneapoli and spreading to other countrie around the country. absolute failure of basic political leadership. >> end and understanding of basic human nature. if your kid comes home after getting a bad grade or losing a game, you don't let him smash all the dishes in the kitchen because he's upset. there is something nihilistic o one level, patronizing on the

other to say well, these kind o people, whoever they are, have no kind of emotional resources, so the only way they can expres frustration is by setting thing on fire, how does that say what you feel about your own population? >> it doesn't seem to be like the mayor of minneapolis, the leaders of minneapolis think much about the people the way you describe that's. by the way, this whole thing is supposed to be some sort of political activism to express outrage over the killing of mister floyd, police brutality out of control, lack of accountability come out what have you. we are well beyond that. there is an intelligent important discussion to have about that but when you have images like this come up mayhem like people aren't talking abou g, how do we make our police perform in a way that will make us more positive. how do we punish the cubs who d the wrong thing, we are well

past that discussion now and we have this discussion of towable earn and carnage. >> thousands of four people are shut together every year in american cities, they don't say word about it. every life matters? where were you when thousands died on the street? in pools of blood? >> just last week in ten people killed in chicago just last wee in and. nobody cares. nobody cares. >> you don't hear anything abou that. >> we are going to go on the street in atlanta, things seem to be accelerating there. we would love to get in it live update. >> i am i have to admit, i am several miles away from what i' watching the images that you're watching from the local affiliate. waga i have never seen anything like this.

this is a city that prides itself on peaceful protest, eve in the 60s after the assassination of martin luther king jr. when riots we're going on and other major cities, stories out of atlanta were tha black people and white people join hands and marched peacefully through the streets to protest that and honor docto king. you can have these very incendiary events taking place across the country or even in atlanta, only to be followed by peaceful demonstrations in atlanta. now we are looking at a burning vehicle, we are looking at the graffiti outside of the cnn center. we're looking at vandalism goin on this is something that vandalism and violence is extremely rare during protest i atlanta, but on this widescale, i have never seen anything like this in the decades that i have lived in the city. >> i have covered politics for

29 years, this isn't politics, this isn't a political protest. the are the expressions of people who don't believe in politics who don't believe in the system. thank you. it sounds like things are fluid there, so i hope you will stick around for us if you don't mind. >> absolutely. be happy to. >> i think we have senator ted cruz standing by. senator, are you there? senator, are you with us? >> i am. >> thank you for joining us. i'm going to ask you the question that i've asked, you'r watching these pictures, you followed this for the past thre days, what do you make of this and where do you think it's going? >> listen, it's horrific and it starts with a horrific act of police brutality. any time you have a police officer involved shooting, the media often goes into a frenzy

and there's an immediate demonization and attack of the police officers. i think that's wrong and premature. that being said, in this instance we have a video of the incident and we can see with mister floyd, the officer with his knee on his neck for eight minutes, mister floyd has is handcuffed, he is clearly incapacitated he is begging for his life and what we saw was wrong. there is no legitimate law enforcement purpose for what wa all right there. >> i'm sorry, it let me stop right there and ask a question, i agree with you i found the video very upsetting. there is a lot of abuse of powe by a lot of people in charge, d you believe since let's just deal with facts here, do you believe that the man in custody died of suffocation because the police officer was sitting on him? >> i don't know, we will have t see with the medical evidence shows. >> isn't that the question? either the cop killed him or he didn't.

>> the question is was that abuse of police brutality. >> the guy has been charged wit murder so isn't the question wa did he kill him. >> there are two different questions the civil rights investigation which was the right thing to do, i applauded the department of justice for doing that. number two, the prosecutor chos today to bring homicide charges. to prove that they will have to prove the evidence supports that . i don't know what the medical examiner will determine on that so whether or not it was homicide will depend on the evidence, but it was clearly police brutality and it was not conduct we expect of any officers. >> i totally agree with that. i think it was awful, i've covered this kind of thing before and i hate it, however the country is convulsing the basis of the idea that the cop killed this man who was restrained, he was in handcuffs. i think it's a meaningful question, it's not something we

can glide over and say what doesn't matter why wouldn't matter? >> saying the criminal justice will depend on what the weather they case be it's not gliding over a. >> it's not and i agree with yo 100 percent. >> one of the reason sadly that we are seeing this violence and this rioting is that you have lots of demigods that want to use this incident of clear abus by one police officer and they want to use it too pay every police officer is corrupt and racist. most police officers heroically risk their lives to protect the communities they are in often minority communities and for everyone that is stirring up racial division and engaging in violence and looting, that is unacceptable. violence and criminal conduct i unacceptable whether it is committed by a mob enraged or whether it's committed by a police officer who is breaking the law. the law should apply fairly to

everyone paired. >> why is that difficult for so many republicans in washington to say. i saw the tape, the guy should be punished for doing it, you'r not allowed to burn our cities down. i am hearing silence from the that i have voted for. why doesn't somebody stick up for the rest of us, you're not allowed to burn cars. you're saying it? >> i can't speak for others, but it's an obvious reaction, protect people's lives and rights, and i will point out that there is some irony that i minneapolis, the local officials , the state officials, the attorney general, the senators, they're all democrats and you get a lot of people tha are playing this for partisan advantage yet one of the unfortunate things about a lot of elected democrats and we see this during the coronavirus pandemic is that they are willing to be authoritarian, they are willing to get people

to arrest for or women paddle boarding, and if you believe in liberty commit then you want to see police officers keeping people safe, and not abusing people's rights or liberties. >> i couldn't agree more. we have seen a lot of this recently. i want to ask you a question an they don't know if it's answerable. you watched it closely for a long time, where do you think this is going? >> i think we have always had demagogues and we have seen you and i are both old enough to remember rodney king and his plea can't we just get along? i would like to think that we can instead appeal to our bette angels. i think there are a lot of people whether black, white or hispanic that want to come together as one america particularly at a time when we have both the public health crisis and a massive economic crisis dividing us in turning

people against each other is no good or beneficial as much as the media loves to do it. >> i think that's what you said is absolutely right how nice would it be if we had leaders who could bring us together. that would just be the greatest thing of all. thank you, senator, good to tal to you tonight. >> thank you, tucker. >> we are going to keep these pictures up on the right side o the screen from atlanta. we want to go back to mike tobi on the other side of the screen live for us tonight from minneapolis. mike, are you there? >> i am here and i'm watching the crowd wrote in volume and i'm watching the crowd grow in size. we are 36 minutes away from thi curfew that is set to go into effect. it does not seem like anybody i backing down at the moment. as speaker out there at the moment and the crowd or he seem to have the crowd's attention, but people are quite passionate

grade they're still not satisfied despite the charges they are intent on jeering thes guardsmen and state troopers wh are up here and usually you see that come out wherever the police form a line, that's wher the demonstrators form a line and the heckling begins. it will go on for a long time, but usually that is when things pick up with intensity. i can say that's going to happen , but we have an hour until this curfew and were waiting to see how this develops . >> what do we know about the curfew order itself? if people behind you disobey th order and ignore it which is as you just said seems possible, what does the city do? what does the police department do? do we know? >> is going to be interesting because they haven't tipped their hand to that, but what we've seen in the fact past is if they crackdown and you get the crowd of demonstrators whos scatter in there is a wake of destruction with that scatter a they head off and the other

direction. we see that scatter the other nights. police want to prevent that fro happening again, but they have drawn out line in the sand at 8:00 p.m. it's over so they hav to do something about it. let's see how they handle it. >> amazing. do police, have they been arresting people? this isn't something that's bee clear. we have any idea what the polic is on arresting and how many have been arrested? >> they haven't made that clear the one thing we sought to this point is it seemed that the mayor made a decision that he didn't want to have the ugly scenes that we saw play out in ferguson which really energize the angry crowd, they went the other direction and we still go an ugly scene. they have to make a decision once apm comes around, they hav the order to clear the streets as they curfew is in effect. how are they going to do it? >> we will check back with mike tobin in minneapolis.

underneath all of this, the mos ominous part is the potential threat to our justice system in the united states which is the best thing about this country. in practice that system is ofte flawed like anything that human control. we've told you a lot about that on the show. in its ideals and what it tries to do and often succeeds in doing, there is no better or fairer system in the world. ask yourself where would you rather go on trial, especially if you're innocent? nowhere. the united states. the worst moments in american history are those in which violent mobs have nullified our justice system and murdered the accused without trial. that is called winching . every american is ashamed that happened here and should be. yet, and they should bother you more than anything else you've heard today some of positions o influence are calling for it again. three weeks ago a day after a video emerged of that shooting in georgia, bernie sanders

surrogate shawn king posted the following message on facebook who is aimed at the two men charged with the murder. to gregory and michael travis mcmichael, i want you too know that i know where you live and where you are hiding. right now i'm the only thing keeping about 150 different people from killing you. to the state of georgia, hold these men accountable. i assure you it is in your best interest. chongqing describes himself as civil rights advocate, but wha he's suggesting here is not civil rights it's the end of it it's winching. no one seemed to care though famous people in los angeles still love shawn king. then came minneapolis, the news media had worked hard to hide with the riots there is are saying, but pieces of video hav leaked out anyway. here is some of it. >> we have more fires. we have plenty of structures that need burning. we asked our city officials plenty of times to take down th structures, they haven't so we're going to do it ourselves.

it's nothing to spread we built this country and we will burn i down. >> when we start coming to the suburbs, when we come to the government center, then what ar you going to do. so, that's what's going to happen. >> this is only the beginning [bleep]. >> over the last several days, demonstrators have surrounded the home of the officer now charged in the. they had blocked three straight three deliveries to his home fo a tease in their hungry, let's hopis things scared. now you may think he describes to be convicted of murder and it's entirely possible he does, but the system is playing out. the people you're watching on the screen don't believe that because they don't believe in the system and that's why thug came to the home of the distric attorney mike freeman. >> what do we want? >> justice. >> wind we want it now? >> now.

>> george floyd. >> george floyd. >> look how many are defending this killer's house. look how many are defending thi killer's house. >> so, too be clear, we support the right of assembly of speech for political protest. we defend it relentlessly on th show. very few others do. the crowd marching outside of city hall is a call for justice and we supported even if we disagree with their physician. mob surrounding the home of a district attorney is not a political protest, it is a threat designed to subvert our justice system. he is supposed to weigh the evidence in a criminal case, th opinion of cnn anchors are not relevant he considers the actua evidence, that's our system, bu he can't do that, no one can if he fears he or his family will be hurt. the mob is aware of that, and that's why they came to his

house. one of the worst things that lynch mobs do is distort the people who participate in them, who believe it or not our sometimes well-meaning citizens who become inflamed with bloodlust. that lurks beneath the surface and human nature. suddenly they find themselves cheering as other human beings are humiliated, tortured, and killed the justice cannot be rushed, that is true. in our silver moments, we all agree that it is. this is not a sober moment. in response to that statement, responder said this is the language of white supremacy. we are not going to name the person who wrote that because w know this is an emotional moment , but apparently that person is the principle of an elementary school in minneapoli brady have to wonder if she really believes that great dish teacher students that due process in a trial by an impartial jury our examples of white supremacy? let's hope she doesn't. we doubt she does actually.

she is just a week said person who's been whipped into a frenz by the mob. someday in cooler moments she will regret saying that prayed we hope that moment come soon. james craig is detroit's police chief, he joins us now. thank you so much for coming on tonight. i can't resist asking this into our police chief of detroit cit that was flattened by riots in 1967, what are the lessons and it really hurt the city as you know, what are the lessons of that experience for you as the police chief of that city? >> i grew up here tucker. thank you for having me on the show. i enjoy it. i will tell you, i lived here a that time, i grew up, i remembe the civil unrest in 67. ten years later i'm a detroit police officer. i didn't want to be a detroit police officer. it was probably one of the best decisions i made because i

understood and my dad reinforced , if you want to be about change, be part of the institution so i went to los angeles years later, but there were a lot of dynamic moves mad over the years in a positive way , this city really understanding what defines community and neighborhood policing. many police departments talk, but they don't really understan what that relationship truly looks like. so many get it wrong you have t talk with the community. that doesn't mean that you're going to have those individuals who are going to go sideways on you at any given time, but i'll tell you, and i've listened to lot of what you said leading up to my interview. i couldn't agree with you more. we support the anger, we don't support the mob mentality. we just can't support that.

i praise the swift action of minneapolis in dealing with the officers in terms of their occupation, however, one thing that often times gets missed, and i'm coming out my 44th year in this business we talk about probable cause and what police officers can and cannot do. many times we go to the scene o an incident may be a violent crime, there is evidence that shows there arrest should be made. everybody's outrage, even when saw the video of this officer who clearly wasn't overcoming a violent resisting suspect, even that, he continued to apply pressure to his neck, and that point in that point alone is when he crossed over from being a police officer to a criminal. so anybody looking at the video and i get with the prosecutors,

but our role as police officers is their probable cause to determine that a crime has been committed? eyes say yes. it is no secret, i have had to arrest a number of detroit police officers based on probable cause. i think, i'm not saying it woul have stopped totally what's going on in minneapolis because it sounds like there has been a history of some issues that we're not resolved and this was the trigger, just like what we saw in detroit and 67 riots, just like we saw in los angeles and then you look at rodney king , when i was on the lapd and on the front seat of what was going on they are. so there is a dynamic. we have to make sure as police leaders that we are not treatin people different when they cros

that line. but we should also know that th vast majority of the men and women who wear this uniform are good police. they do it right each and every day they put their lives on the line. when we have one that crosses, we have to be transparent, we have to be swift, we have to deal with it and deal with it now. >> i agree with that. thank you so much for joining u tonight. >> i appreciate you, tucker, have a great one. >> how extreme are people getting? five years ago as a reference point, president obama condemne rioting. we are going to compare that with his statement today. president obama has long been n one wants to see it, but america's chief racial arsonist. even obama understood that looting was indefensible. by the way, nobody likes it, of any color the idea that huge

groups of americans like lootin and torching wendy's is false. 2015, during the baltimore riot after the death of freddie gray president obama said this. >> there is no excuse for the kind of violence we saw yesterday. they are not protesting. they are not making a statement. they are stealing. when they burn down a building they're committing arson brady of some of the same organizer i now going back into these communities to try to clean up in the aftermath of a handful o criminals and thugs who tore up the place.

>> that was only five years ago but it feels like at different century. today obama issued a statement on what's happening in minneapolis. in it he accused the countries country's hospital's imports of being racist and discriminatory. he never mentioned the riots at all. like they didn't happen. apparently he doesn't care abou the black neighborhoods being torched since he never lived in one. he also said the pain of being treated differently on account of race, that's right it's an awful thing and we should condemn it. who are we kidding. treating people differently based on their race is a plank in the democratic party platform . over at msnbc that reverend al sharpton went after rioters for not being racist enough. for not choosing which stores t burn based on the skin color of the people who own them. watch this. >> as i walked around minneapolis yesterday was some of the ministers and elected officials, some of the stores that are being damaged are blac owned stores. so when we become so reckless that we are destroying each other in our rage. the rage is justified, nobody i more angry than me longer than me, but the question is am i angry enough to get something done about it or am i going to

play into those adversaries to what i'm trying to play and trying to represent. >> the tragedies, the skin colors, they were he has made that before. fox and friends also the on fox radio and a guest host on this allergy joins us. thank you for coming on. i can't help as i watch these pictures, but wonder the peopl that we paid to keep the cities from collapsing and innocent elderly powerless people from being terrified, where are they tonight? seriously? >> i have no idea. i'm watching the minnesota police arrest a cnn reporter live on television. i watch the police totally back up. and you know their instinct is to help and that is why they don't do it too get rich and yo know they were told by politicians too back up and let that city burn. tucker, i used to do the mornin

show and you got to set it down at some point at time. i said oh, when i get up at 230 i know the top story is going t be, it was going to be out a ma who was struck down in the prim of his life in the autopsy results will probably result th police officer results and is desperate i get up in the bille night watch mayor yelled back a the president and comment on ho great his police force was and while commenting that soul city is burned to the ground and the big story is what is happening to the city. the big story isn't what happened to a man that just perhaps gave in a counterfeit $25 bill. them when i watch president obama write this letter and i think he is a very bright guy, great writer and he writes this letter about what people are saying to him about the riots and what role race plays any covers the whole thing and then he said it's up to law enforcement to crack down it's up to the justice department to find justice. what is missing from that story?

mister president, you're not in the eye of the stronger they ar too analyze just like in 2015 when you excuse the looters and writers, but this time he left out half the story the last three days have not been about george floyd. the last three days have been about the riots in the streets, the burning down of innocent people in the destruction of businesses. out sharpton got closer to the right story i think. he says hey, don't take your ey off the boat nobody's focusing on police work, nobody's talkin about racial injustice they're just talking about the burning of a city that was mirrored in phoenix, were watching it, they are now slamming objects into the cnn glass in atlanta it's a horrific scene that is taking place. outside the white house today, can you imagine if we had legitimate police work outside of minneapolis with politicians with say hey, we feel terrible

too, we'll get justice, don't blow down the place. many have been because they wer forced to shut down their business to avoid a virus, now they don't even have a business to try to rescue, they have to go back to a jewelry shop that' been ransacked because a man wa arrested unjustly and possibly killed. you have to destroy a jewelry store? i don't get it. >> the case we sharpton was the were burning the wrong stores, he is an msnbc anchor and he ha encouraged the burning of asian owned stores in the past. your fine, i'm fine, barack obama is fine, anybody with money to insulate him or hersel from the chaos is fine, but wha about all the people of all different backgrounds you can't do that. who are stuck in atlanta and minneapolis commit name as city tonight. why does nobody care about them and why aren't the authorities

protecting them? >> i will give you an example, tucker prayed to get to fort mchenry you have to drive to baltimore. i haven't been through baltimor since 2015, you know it hasn't changed? baltimore. they haven't fixed the blocks, they haven't fixed the homes, they haven't fixed the businesses. when the sun goes down and the cameras go away, they're going to be left with a cd that is torched, a precinct that is burned to the ground and nobody's going to care because everybody has left. there going to move and people are going to look around and sa what did we do to our own place. this is frustration from the pandemic, i shut down the peopl still can't figure out. businesses that are making people throw up their hands as they in cities that refused to reopen even though the viruses under control and then you have this horrific series of incidents one in georgia, you have another one in louisville, and then you have this and this

is vending, this is anger, and this is letting it out on the wrong people who are not trying to solve people between right now we are trying to stop the carnage, the destruction that w don't have the money to fix and these are neighborhoods that ar never going to get the attentio on a good day, let alone this day. >> people have zero interest in solving any kind of racial dispute, they incite them in order to consolidate their power . but, great to see you tonight. man, you are up late. >> great to see you, tucker. >> now that minneapolis is a wreck, ordinary people, busines owners, the people they did build the country were abandone to fend for themselves. now atlanta seems to be falling apart. alive report. we will be right back

>> we are about ten minutes until a curfew takes effect in minneapolis, minnesota. people are back on the streets of violent night, the situation is getting very tense in atlanta . we will start in minneapolis first. courtney, what does it look like ? >> tucker, about five minutes ago the national guard and stat patrol who been holding this line here started putting their gas max on and that's when our

security said we need to get ou of here so we backed up only a couple of minutes later, they started dispersing teargas people have started to run, and protesters also started throwin that teargas back at them. if you hear this tape a draw on the loudspeaker he is telling the crowd to disperse. he is saying they are in violation of minnesota state statute and they are an unlawfu assembly. if they don't get out of the area they will start to arrest. those noises are interior gases that is why we are staying safe distance back, really up until now i will tell you it's been pretty peaceful. a lot of people all day just coming out here to check out th scene. they wanted to see south minneapolis because it's essentially burned to the ground . it looks like a war zone out here. the last couple of hours, that mood has changed. obviously the state patrol here is going to enforce at 8:00 p.m curfew. they are doing it with teargas.

>> the thump behind you is the telltale sign. good luck tonight, thank you fo that, courtney. >> during this by phone is judge . thank youse for joining us, you survey everything that's happening here, what is your reaction to it? >> my reaction to this is that number one that it is so sad that cities that are just now coming out of lockdown and the horrific economic distress that we have faced as a nation is being exacerbated by rioters an looters who are allowed to run free in areas where for whateve reason that mayors are telling police chiefs to stand down and let them blow off steam. this is just like what we've seen in baltimore and other cities. it is as though they are thinking that you know what, if we don't say anything they will go away. that is hogwash. in the george floyd case, we

want justice, we want it too be swift and certain. now that you've got the police officer charged with murder, they don't seem to care about that, these people are alluding. this isn't about a protest, these are about people that are out of control. this is the breakdown of society . i know and i've talked about this before, the only line that separates us from barbarism and civilization is law-enforcement. law enforcement is not allowed to make an arrest for whatever reason, whatever the local person thinks it's not a good idea, and most of these democra cities, then we are in big trouble. the sad part is what you showed from 1992 with the african-american man whose truc was totally destroyed by looters . none of this has to do with wha happened with george floyd fred

what have you heard about georg floyd in the last couple of days ? this is not a protest, these ar people who are about chaos and looting. i talked about mutual assistance . when i was at a da, we had different police departments in my jurisdiction. when someone needed help in one jurisdiction, everybody came to the assistance of that jurisdiction. these people come up most of them as i understand it and i'm going to talk about it on the show tomorrow night are coming from other parts of the country so the question is, who is organizing, how did they believ they are not going to be arrested. why do they think they can do this with impunity. some of them don't even have masks. what does that tell you? they know they are not going to be arrested or people are going to pay to get them bailed out. that is a sad commentary. it if this was the first night, we might not be where we are now .

a police precinct burned, we're a police officer had to be take off the roof and a helicopter? this is america. >> the evacuation of saigon, 1975. it is really depressing to watc it. thank you. >> thank you. >> to wrap up tonight, we will speak to heather mcdonald the author of the book war on cops, she joins us tonight. there are so many questions, but once again as i watch these videos coming into us live from around the country, it minneapolis, atlanta, washington , new york, the question that never leaves my mind, is why is nobody protecting the weak, protecting our society itself. where our leaders? how can they tolerate this? >> they have bought into the narrative that america is fundamentally racist. that is how their power is solidified.

they don't understand, tucker, that civilization is fragile. this poison is spreading fast. we have to condemn this awful police action, the next breath has to be we are condemning the violence in our cities as well. they are both unacceptable. we cannot justify this violence in the name of racial justice o rage. >> it is the opposite of justice . racial or otherwise in chaos, the weeks offer. the strong, you commit me, cabl personality and politician, the are fine. this is not an isolated event. the places where this is taking place had become noticeably worse in recent years under leadership of the exact same people. our they intentionally trying t degrade the country? because it seems that way. >> i think they are more

interested in their own self-righteous sense of virtue. they are trying to emasculate the police, police are not systemically biased. we are seeing a revival of the dangerous narrative of the obam years that policing is shot through with systemic injustice as awful as this one incident was, that is simply not true. study after study shows that th police do not treat people differently based on their skin color. it is the law abiding residents of high crime neighborhoods who beg for begged for more police presence. we are going to see violence against cops, we're going to se cops backing up in the law-abiding people that need protection will be left to the thugs. >> as they were in detroit in 1967 in baltimore, washington, dc after that riots. the same story always. final question. where is this going from here? >> welcome that we have heard

from joe biden today where it i going. he is going to double down on the narrative if he gets into the white house, he is going to further de- legitimate they police, you will see crime rising again in this country. and we are going to see more racial division. we need to start telling the truth about the fact that americans are of good will they want to get along and our institutions are stan sound and fair. for our leaders to be pouring out this poison, delegitimizing the fairest nation on earth and claiming that our basic structures of law and order are biased is wrong, and it is selfish and completely dangerou to the future of this country. >> we can all sense that. heather mcdonald, thank you so much for joining us tonight. we want to close out this hour the way we began it with mike tobin standing by for us live i

the city of minneapolis. >> about 12 minutes ago that minnesota state patrol came out with a speaker truck and they made the announcement that you need to disperse from this area that if they remain here, they will be unlawful in violation o the order from the state patrol and then they backed up, the state patrol and the national guard backed up you see in the distance where some of the smok is. they deployed a bit of tear gas and backed up shortly after the made the announcement that people are going to need to disperse from this area. they backed up the line and you can see what happened here is that the kids have now taken over the street. taken over is as strong term, but they are in the area. this is all the rubble of the lakers door store that burned last night. live precinct is just beyond th smoke. now they said the crowd needs t disperse and then they gave the a bunch of room to move.

let's see what happens next fro the minnesota state patrol and the guardsmen that are out here. >> mike tobin forest. thank you. that is the end of our our. sorry to show you all those pictures tonight, but they are real. >> sean: welcome to hannity this friday night. we begin with a fox news alert, a curfew has just this very minute now been enacted in minneapolis following a violent night of writing that resulted in destruction of property of over 170 businesses impacted and frankly something i never thought i'd see in my adult lifetime in this country, the torching of a police precinct and they didn't defend it. all-out carnage across the country tonight. we will be following these protests in multiple cities all throughout the hour, whole life reports from the ground straight ahead at this hour, the protests in atlanta are getting more tense breaking moments ago, a squad car
