get your asses to work and get order and protect her cities, protect the people in your cities and protect property. my heart is troubled. if laura ingraham is going to take it from here. >> laura: hannity, first of all, a really great interview with dr. baden, fantastic. >> sean: really good at what he does. >> laura: yeah, really good at what he does, but number two, what is the purpose of having a curfew if it's not enforced? children know that. teenagers know that. parents know that. this is for everybody's safety, okay? if you want to peacefully protest, that's why protests are during the day. everybody can see everybody, everybody shares the thoughts, protests are -- those are daytime things. nighttime is a different deal. too much damage, too many people hurting out there. >> sean: now the president is going to send them in. it's their job -- just like they

were prepared for a pandemic, the new york should have been prepared, they're still not prepared in new york tonight. where the hell is this mayor, where's the governor that everybody praises in the media? >> laura: well, i'm going to say this in a bit, spoil my tease here, but they are aiding and abetting what is turning out to be a period of lawlessness, and the hatred that is at the core of all of this, of the country, not the peaceful protesters have been co-opted, but at the core, this hatred of what america is. if we to call it out. they want this america gone. that's what this is about. we're going to talk turkey because of her buddy has to understand what this is all about now. they're dishonoring mr. floyd. we all know that now, that's beyond obvious. so anyway, you and i are in the same place, sean. fantastic show. >> sean: pray for our country. >> laura: i am. >> sean: the people in our cities. everyone is a part of one

family. one god created us all. >> laura: you bet. read psalm 91 tonight before you go to bed. >> sean: my "let not your heart be troubled" is not exact working for me right now. >> laura: read psalm 91. you take care. >> sean: all right, have a great night. >> laura: i'm laura ingraham, this is "the ingraham angle" from washington today, a lot going on this hour. thousands have taken to the street for the seventh straight night in cities across the nation, you've been watching this but right now all eyes are new york city where we are one hour from one and enforced curfew will kick in. okay, one hour. 11:00 p.m., who calls a curfew at 11:00 p.m. when the situation is what it is? that's what de blasio and company did. we are going to get you to some of the hot spots across the country and moments. we are going to begin with fox's bryan llenas come on the street tonight in new york city. i've been watching this online and watching your reporting, looting occurring throughout midtown manhattan at this moment, seems like the curfew was approaching, things are only

getting worse. tell us what you're seeing. >> yeah. good evening. so first of all, mayor bill de blasio's office just moments ago said that tomorrow's curfew when i'll be at 8:00 p.m., no longer at 11:00 p.m., probably a good idea given what we've already seen. it is 10:00 p.m. right now and we have seen really groups of dozens to hundreds of writers in the middle of manhattan. this is 54th and madison and you can see this storefront here. [inaudible] this is a stereo system and audio headphones. go this way over here. see this window over here. this is the scene all throughout madison and fifth avenue in midtown, from 60th street down to 14. the watch store -- both of their shops have been hit twice.

look inside here. broken glass. if they tried to get into a car that is inside of this store. this is a store that sells, you know, audio equipment for vehicles as well. just moments ago we were with sean hannity, we actually had large groups of people here. they were rioters. these are not protests anymore. we were with peaceful protests, this is something different. it is criminal nature that is happening in the city. we're being told told that there are sources telling nypd and fdny sources that they are overwhelmed in manhattan right now. last night when i was reporting on looting in soho, that was one neighborhood but this is all happening all throughout major, major sections of manhattan. fifth avenue, madison, broadway, you name it. we are just two blocks away from trump tower here and we saw police officers chase down some rioters here, but they do seem to be outnumbered from what

we've seen and it's a tough situation because they hit one store and then they move onto the next next block and then the next block and, you know, you keep chasing them and we are still an hour away from curfew right now, laura. >> laura: thank you. we are going to check back with you as 11:00 p.m. draws closer. action on some street across the nation and moments, but first, this is my statement about what happened today and what's been happening. restoring order, that's the focus of tonight's angle. all people of good faith agree that what happened to george floyd was heinous and depraved, it was murder. but that's not what we are seeing on our violent streets. we are not seeing outrage really expressed about that. and that's not with the criminals and the domestic terrorists are perpetrating as they use mr. floyd's killing to try and murder america. earlier in the day, floyd's own brother issued a call for peace.

>> if i'm out of here messing up my community, then what are you all doing? what are y'all doing? y'all doing nothing. because that's not going to bring my brother back at all. it may feel good for the moment just like when you drink, but when it comes down, you're going to wonder what you did. >> laura: but this isn't what antifa wants or cares about and it's not what other radical elements want. they want war. they want to tear down what took us almost 250 years to build, literally and figuratively. the president tonight reaffirmed his duty to defend the constitution. >> my first and highest duty as president is to defend our great country and the american people. i swore an oath to uphold the laws of our nation and that is exactly what i will do.

>> laura: now, new york governor andrew cuomo, whose nursing homes became covid's killing fields, said he's not going to seek and doesn't want the president's help. >> i was shocked at the force they used to move the protesters, who could not have been more peaceful. calling out the american military for a photo opportunity. these are young people who still have idealism and want to make this nation better, and that's a good instinct, and it should be encouraged. >> laura: it should be encouraged. we've been showing footage all-night of what what they're doing throughout manhattan. and by the way, what we saw, some of what we saw is what i saw last night up and close and personal in washington, d.c. the protest wasn't very focused on the heinous injustice committed against george floyd. there were a few signs in the refuge door to george floyd t-shirts but there was no candlelight vigil, there was no singing and embracing.

people were taking selfies in front of secret service agents, whom they were mocking and swearing at and in some cases spitting at. i'm not sure what any of that accomplished. but the violent and eventual elements were focused on creating chaos, terror, and fear across america. so don't you dare lie to the american people by saying that any of this had anything to do at its violent core, with george floyd. from what his family said, george was not that kind of person. he wouldn't do what these people are doing tonight. peaceful protests are usually held, as i said to hannity, during the day. after all, we know that, because under the dark of night, under the cover of darkness, we can't see who's throwing what, who's starting what fires like the one that i saw as we were leaving the scene at the historic st. john's church.

now, we walked to the car seeing these historic hotels, beautiful buildings boarded up, graffiti everywhere. i felt like i was back in iraq in 2006 and february, except i actually felt a lot safer on the streets of baghdad than i did at times in d.c. last night. the aim of these criminal enterprises, including antifa, but not limited to antifa, is to undermine confidence in our institutions of government at all levels, local, state, and federal. these wanton acts of violence are part of a coordinated effort to eventually overthrow the united states government. it's well-funded and it's well organized on social media. no twitter warnings, by the way, from jack dorsey even though they seek nothing short of an overthrow of all that we love and believe in. and elimination of our constitution, basically all of our rights, including the second amendment, and much of the first. they don't care about george

floyd. they're using and abusing his memory to create more suffering and more chaos. it's like one giant video game to some these folks, but their call to duty is one of annihilation of the country that we all love. nowhere does this all come from? i was thinking about this today talking to friends and down the road in d.c., where did it come from? why is there so much hate? the american people and law enforcement officers are overwhelmingly good people. it goes way beyond anger over the tragedies of floyd and trave on martin and philando castile. the genesis of the seating he hatred began decades ago and it spread like a contagion into all levels of learning. radical professors attacking the ideals of western civilization and it's only gotten worse. yesterday -- check this out, one professor at the university of

alabama provided a tutorial on twitter about how to pull down national monuments. and guess what? the tweet by the professor is still up on twitter. jack dorsey claims trump's tweets are encouraging violence? this woman is a professor and she's getting paid with the tax dollars that the university of alabama gets. and by the way, universities are teaming with america-hating indoctrinate is like her. not only will she not get fired for that, should probably get an award at the next faculty meeting. the finest colleges in the nation are producing america-hating agent provocate provocateur. it like this aggrieved princeton and nyu law school grad calling -- he was allegedly behind the wheel of a tan minivan as his passenger, fellow attorney and florida law school

grad, when she threw a molotov cocktail into a police cruiser. hateful, anti-american poison is also spewed in some of our churches as well. who can forget obama's pal, reverend jeremiah wright, u.s. of kkk brand? but ultimately this all comes from a scum of the people. how are we parenting our kids? are we teaching them to love and respect everyone no matter what race i'm in a matter what ethnicity? our fathers on the scene at all. are we teaching our children to love or hate america? are we teaching the basic right from wrong? don't take anything that's not yours, even a penny? when we don't teach the light of god's love, we risk that our children and our country gets sucked into the darkness eventually. that's what you're seeing play out tonight. now, i can't imagine that anyone with a brain or half of one

would want to get mixed up with this crowd. look at them. there pretend, privileged soldiers who would melt if forced to defend themselves. ultimately, this is where strong leaders emerge, to lead people away from the lawlessness, away from the darkness. yet today, blue state mayors and governors have failed to act to contain the madness, afraid to do so would be politically incorrect or somehow portray an alliance with president trump. this is not about president trump. this is about america, preserving her. and some media figures, by the way, have aided and abetted the chaos. portraying those driving the lawlessness as somehow justified in smashing, grabbing, pushing, beating, destroying, and yes, ultimately killing, they hoped, the spirit of this country. they are pretrade like modern-day freedom writers.

violating curfews and taunting national guardsmen should be celebrated apparently in some media outlets. these news anchors, that's what you want to call them, they're taking sides with anarchists. that's how much they hate president trump and ultimately the old normal as they seek to replace it with i don't know what, some type of new normal that's going to be great, peachy keen? they are willing to help the country burn out of their obsession with removing trump from office. that's not going to happen. americans are loving people, but they've had enough. they had enough of lockdowns and now they've had enough of looting. it's time to defend our founding principles, life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. we do this with respect for our fellow man, without her love of god, and our belief in the inherent goodness of mankind, and that's the angle.

attorney general bill barr today ordering federal riot teams to help police squash any rioting in washington, d.c., and miami. in addition to that, the fbi is deploying its elite hostage rescue unit to d.c. to a local police. now those are definitely positive development, but what else can have administration do to help riot states? churning out officer who served on the state s.w.a.t. team, also with me, chris, former assistant fbi director who was a s.w.a.t. team member spotted atlantic prison riots and forme nypd off. chris, i want to start with you. you have both been a s.w.a.t. team member and an on scene commander in situations like this. you're watching this play out. it looks like some dystopian, you know, movie, tonight on the streets of manhattan. what else can be done in the city? >> quite a bit. first of all, what we are seeing is the catastrophic failure of leadership on the part of the

civic leaders won't enable their police departments to deploy their full forces -- most of these cities have trained mobile force units, either civil emergency units that are trained in the area of crowd control. they're equipped, they have all the tools, they just in most cases are not being allowed to use them to define the borders, to use the escalating -- different levels of use of force that you need all the way up to teargas or maybe even use of a sound machine. so i really think the police chiefs want to go out there and do what they do best, which is control the crowd, be proactive, not reactive, plan well, get good intelligence, infiltrate the crowd, identify the leaders and arrest them. so i think this is less of a law enforcement issue right now than a civilian leadership iss issue. >> laura: jim, when i was out in lafayette park last night in

d.c. -- you know, i'm not an expert in crowd control, but i could see who were the troublemakers, who worked as you know, they were unloading backpacks, had various, you know, devices inside their backpacks, i don't know what they were, but it was pretty obvious to me, and i'm not -- this is not my thing. and yet the police, i feel like they feel like they're in a trick box here because if they -- if they take control of the situation, they're going to be accused of police brutality by the mayor of new york, whose own daughter got arrested, rig right? >> yeah, well, i mean, the problem that you have going on in new york city as new york city is the best prepared police department to deal with these types of civil disobedience, but you have a mayor that is an activist and you have a governor of our state who was controlled by activists, so instead of letting the police police, what they are doing they're using the police

department in a way that furthers a political and partisan agenda, so you have good cops that literally are being stopped from doing their jobs. >> laura: darren, you have roving bands of criminals sometimes eight people in a van, they're pulling up to one store, there's a driver, a spotter, three or four people jump out, they move from store to store quickly, but they're driving in the streets of manhattan. >> this is problematic. when we look at the social contract, it affords us citizens protection from government. however, we have a chief administrator, that being mayor de blasio, putting that to the side and at the forefront of the agenda for these protesters. i shouldn't even to the protesters, they are rioters. >> laura: yeah, thank you. >> they are rioters, they are engaging in riotous behavior, which is a complete sense of lawlessness. policy should be dictating from one police plaza, not from city hall, in connection with police procedures.

we need that robust force to toe the line, because you've got to understand, those store owners have just as much right as the people who are coming off the process. however, the people that own these commercial properties are now having their rights placed on the shelf and it's unfortunate, but in de blasio's defense, we knew that he was incompetent when he came into office. he's just displaying his poor skill set and as a result, we as new yorkers are suffering as a result. >> laura: you get the leadership you pay for and you vote for. vote for. and chris, i want to play this for all three of you, but this is how de blasio decided to approach the situation, watch and listen closely. >> we do not want riot gear, we do not want a large number of police officers. are we trying to get to the day where looks very different one as a protest in the amount of police -- the approach of the police, absolutely. and i think we were doing that

in many ways, recent protests i've been out, like the climate strike, the police presence was very, very subdued. >> laura: subdued. chris, we want to hand bouquets of roses and lilies to the people who are destroying what many people have worked their entire life support, including a lot of immigrants, new immigrants to the united states who decided to come and make a new life in new york, as hard as it is? >> he's more dangerous than the rioters, laura. that kind of leadership, at best, it's naive, and at worst it's deliberate sabotage of your own city. i mean, you have to understand, he has to understand the composition of these crowds. it isn't just protesters, there are some legitimate protesters, there are some bystanders, but it's also nt for, it's anarchists, it's criminals, its criminal organizations. it's everything. it's a cocktail and you have

to -- you have to deal with that accordingly and it's no longer a protest. it has become a lawlessness that you have to deal with, you have to set boundaries, you have to use all of the dash you have to use force sometimes. you may have to use gas, but mainly to be proactive and i just don't -- these civilian leaders are not enabling the police departments to do what they need to do. that's an incredibly dangerous attitude to the whole thing. >> laura: jim, we are looking now at our nation's capital were a loud explosion was heard near a sherman williams paint store, i know exactly where that is in the northwest part of the city. fox's kevin corke is on the streets of d.c. right now. kevin, i know exactly where you are, what can you tell us? kevin, are you there? >> let me just tell you this -- i'm right here with you, very interesting circumstance. you can probably hear -- let me take off his mask for a second. you can probably hear they are around, there are literally flying all over us and part of the situation is there was a

peaceful protest march that kind of winds -- a kind of wound its way through the northern part of downtown washington up near an area called columbia heights. actually not too far from new bond circle. it'd then circled back around and they've made their way all the way down here, almost close to the capital, but there was some window breaking along the way and some other assorted vandalism and now we have seen a very strong show of force. we have halos up above, police staging here, a block that way and another black that way towards the capital as they try to basically cordon off the number of places that they can go and now they're asking us to move across the street. you got it, guys, thank you very much. thank you, guys. they are going to have us move across the street. we are not very far from the bureau, believe it or not, laura, so we are very familiar with this area. it's usually very quiet this time of night but tonight we've seen protesters that are helping that they will not cause any more damage. along the way we saw a number of buildings hit along seventh

street. they were throwing big, heavy rocks and they were going right through windows of businesses, wanton destruction for no reason whatsoever. laura. >> laura: kevin, there's a curfew. what happened to enforcing the curfew at 7:00? i mean, whether you're walking peacefully or not, you're supposed to be off the streets, so there's just a willful disregard of the mayor, mayor muriel bowser's order and the president couldn't have made it clearer, everybody needs to go home, take a breath, and george floyd's family said that, basically take a breath and, you know, everybody's got to take a chill pill, basically come and try to just calm down here. but it's not happening. go ahead. >> it's looks like that's been happening for a while. just want to say really quickly, there are number of arrests earlier, thought that would sort of get people to message, but they are obviously bad out here in force here tonight. i will give you more as we get

more, laura. >> laura: stacy, kevin. first the media, they pretended that despite all of the looting and the destruction, that the riots were really just peaceful protests. they continue that on and on and on. now they are moving on to their next hoax. >> investigators are looking to whether white supremacists and far right groups are involved. they are seeing elements of white supremacists that are also helping fuel this. >> we have seen things like white supremacist organizers who opposed the things about platforms about coming to minnesota. >> laura: i mean, that is the worst, most obvious from a pathetic gas lighting i've seen in some time. these are the same deranged minds, by the way that brought you russian collusion. their religious covering for the radical groups that are behind much of the destruction and mayhem, and t5. my next guest since the president is absolutely right, should have happened a long time ago. to target nt for, another

left-wing extremist, for the chaos spreading from the country. they are seizing this moment. jim hansen, president of security studies group, former special forces opt, joins me know. the president wants to designate nt for as a terror group. how does that change things, will it change things? >> it absolutely changes things, because that will change the mind-set of everyone involved in reacting to this. it will also change the mind-set of people who were thinking about maybe joining these riots, because if you have a choice to, and maybe break a few windows, you know, and do a little bit of burning of cars and things like that, maybe face a vandalism charge, that's one thing, but if you're looking at conspiracy to commit mayhem or one of the other increased charges that the federal agents can bring if they do their work on this way the patriot act lets them, they may not want to play and that's what we want, we want to deter these things from happening. >> laura: well, when you watch the dash how this is all proceeding in d.c. and new york

and other cities across the nation, americans -- looking at stuff online, what people are saying, a lot of americans feel extremely upset, angry, but also confused as to how a police force without a military backup can handle this. we are not a people that's going to come you know, start smashing heads. we don't do that. that's what china does. we don't do that, but in some cases, if there is a to people directly, beating people in the streets, i mean, what do you do? >> at some point you reimpose order. that's her job if you are a mayor or governor and were president trump rightly said is he can't just send federal troops in into someone else's city, they have to ask for it and most of these mayors and governors, the same ones who have destroyed their cities, mostly democrats, by coddling criminals and by refusing to

allow the police to do what they need to do, now are going to need the help and if he brings in military forces, they'll have the discipline to go ahead and backup the police and give at least enough manpower to cover the areas that these riders are trying to destroy. it's not a question of using the military weaponry, it's the question of using the military person power that it brings of people who are disciplined enough to handle that kind of crazy. >> laura: but don't you agree, they don't even want to give the appearance of aligning themselves or working with president trump, even if it means saving large parts of your city? that's how maniacal they are. they do not want to work with trump. for them, he's toxic. >> and i think that's a sad commentary on our culture and our politics. but it's also a sad commentary on the democrats who run these big cities. they've been willing to go ahead and push their agendas whether they harm the people are not.

now when they had a direct threat to the citizenry that they are sworn to protect, they stopped their police from doing it. they let police precincts be burned. they let all of these things happen because they don't have the intestinal fortitude to stand up and say when something like this happens, you have to act. you can't just hope that these people will see the light of day. >> laura: we don't abandon our positions, that's not what we do. jim, thank you so much for your expertise tonight, it's great to see you. speaking of antifa, what actually makes them tick? what are they about? who funds them? what's their ideology, what drives them to commit these heinous acts of violence? here to ask plaintiff former antifa member, also with me, dinesh d'souza, conservative commentator, author of the book just up today, "united states of socialism -- i'm sorry, hits the shelves tomorrow. i arty have my copy. gabriel, let's start with you.

what's at the root of antifa's mind-set? how did it start? >> so antifa started after world war ii, but as far as american nt for, it's been around for a couple of decades. i was in the nt for back in 2011 and let me tell you, it is far more violent than anything i ever experienced or witnessed and i think it has to do with the fact that so many college administrators and college campuses that allow nt for work under their noses -- for example, at the leadership business -- we reported on a story from the university of florida. it was in nt from group openly recruiting in broad daylight. let me just say this very clear, we don't allow isis to recruit on college campuses and we should not allow antifa to do that either. >> laura: you've been writing about this for years and years and you and i had our own battles at dartmouth college in the 1980s, but even with what we saw, i don't think either of

us imagined this is where college campuses were going to go to where you have violence in the streets. >> i think that antifa is the true descendant of the socialist regimes of 100 years ago, mussolini's black shirts, hitler's brownshirts, these are paramilitary that these socialist military leaders leaders needed in order to compete up military objectives that couldn't be completed any other way, the purpose of nt for is to ultimately intimidate, to beat you into submission. and the dirty little secret is that powerful people in hollywood and academia in the media believe that they need a paramilitary. they need a paramilitary because the socialist ideas that they believe in cannot win on their own merits. after sort of put the other guy up against the wall and so it's very convenient for them that you've got this kind of little army. by the way, other socialist regimes around the world like in venezuela, they have the same thing. these former criminals now ride

around on motorcycles and they carry the same equipment, cement blocks. they carry sticks. what's their job? to beat up small business owners, to beat up political dissidents. this is not about fighting fascism, this is about ultimately fighting people who stand in the way of the socialist left. >> laura: this is what the raleigh police chief said -- i think this was today or yesterday, about what was going on with police and defending businesses. watch. >> a building, a window, and door. the property that was and it can easily be replaced. before person who's had officer shot and more recently than not, i will not put an officer in harm's way to protect the property inside of the building. >> laura: so gabriel, if american citizens believe that their life's work will just be left to whoever wants to smash

the first window, then what are they going to -- what fate do they have in our institutions back to his point of undermining our faith and democratic institutions and civil government? >> well, i think he had it exactly right. nt pretends to be about fighting fascism, but then they define fascism as basically anything that does not conform with their radical leftist agenda, which it goes back to exactly what president trump is doing. i'm incredibly happy that he's finally declared antifa a domestic terrorist organization, because that really helps fight against this false narrative that antifa is fighting anything but for their failed leftist socialist ideology. >> laura: there are a lot of white youth in antifa that i saw last night. i could see them pouring into the city. they were coming in late right near the curfew point and people like keith ellison, attorney general of minnesota, claiming he doesn't really know much about nt for today. we don't have to play a sound bite, but he is feigning

ignorance about nt for. do you buy that? >> not at all. i think that what we are seeing here with the george floyd injustice is the fact that socialism has kind of taken on a new guise. originally it was about the working class, karl marx focused on the working man was working long hours and not getting properly paid, but if you look at the left today, they don't focus much on the working class. in fact, they kind of lost the working class. a working-class guy is more likely to be spotted at the trump relics are not a focus on racial grievance. this is something that they started doing in the '60s. it represent the kind of mutation in socialism away from merely focusing on class to now focusing on race, on gender, sexual orientation, immigration, so we've got this kind of new socialism. i call it identity socialism because it's a weird and sick marriage between classic socialism and identity politics. and antifa, the white guys

fighting for racial justice, they are an expression of this kind of identity socialism. >> laura: and of course then you have people coming in, you know, $15 trillion in reparations, that will solve it. that's the new -- that's the new point that bob johnson was raising today. gentlemen, thank you so much. everyone should get out and get his book, united states of socialism, just out tomorrow. let's go back to bryan llenas in new york city with the famous herald square macy's. the macy's parade, it's not being fully looted. >> we were just at the macy's and all the action just shifted. we will bring back there but we saw one door open -- if you look over here, reports of the macy's of looting. they've cleared that building out, but now they are responding to another building, a target right around the corner. okay, okay. they are now responding to a target here along herald square. mass looting call here.

it's famous for shopping and macy's, obviously we don't really extent of the looting inside but there was a massive call for looting inside for the nypd and everybody showed up at the macy's and herald square area. the front doors, we saw wood panels. there's some of the groups that are just coming in and around new york city right now, wreaking havoc really. they are not protesters, they are rioters at this point and i've got to tell you, when you listen to the police scanner, it is overwhelming how many calls there are. they are moving quickly, we are trying to catch up and move -- okay. and i'm just trying to catch up self to what's happening, but these guys are on bikes and then these bands, they are literally moving from one store to the next as they are getting the calls. there are so many groups -- we just went from 54th and madison and we will show more of this over here, they are just moving from one store to the next. we went from 54th and madison

all the way down to herald square but if you listen to the police scanner, there are calls all over the city of looting happening all throughout midtown manhattan. it's a sad situation right now, laura. as a new yorker, it's tough. it's tough to see our city getting looted right now. criminal behavior, there's nowhere else to describe it. >> laura: how many different locations have you seen looted tonight? >> we have had reports of easily more than a dozen. i've seen a dozen on the scanner. it's just nonstop. when i tell you that these police officers, they are moving from one location to the next. they jump in the vans and they just moved to the next one and onto the next and it's just hard to keep up. obviously once they leave, what ends up happening is the groups end up coming back or they go to a next street and we know that

they are now communicating with one another because we -- they pick up cell phones, they tell their friends, hey, we're going to the store. i further conversations in the streets. there are multiple cases of looters right now wreaking havoc throughout all of manhattan and they went inside of the famed macy's, which we are going to try to get to that scene right now but we don't know the excess of the looting inside there, but it's a lot of havoc right now. >> laura: has governor cuomo come out underdressed -- addressed the city tonight? have you heard from him? >> no, we have not. the only thing that i've heard thus far from that angle, de blasio changing the curfew time and i think that that happened around 9:00 tonight when things in the city were clearly getting out of control. >> laura: you get safe there.

yeah, yeah, you get safe there. this is -- this is where -- new york leadership with bill de blasio in charge. everybody watch the scene tonight in new york. you don't see a lot of people being arrested, at least not in our camera shots, maybe they are being arrested. we are not seeing a lot of law enforcement. a lot of people but not a lot of people being thrown back into the back of vans and arrested. joining me know is a civil rights leader, chair of the congress for racial equality, also with me, pastor darrell scott, national diversity coalition for trump board memb member. you and i have been -- you and i have been pals since 1996 when we both worked for another television network. the chaos that were seen does not seem to be about -- speak of the hidden story is

that the number of legitimate, justified and frustrated peaceful protesters are now clashing with these violent thugs in cincinnati, you had a city councilman, a democrat, city councilman pleading, probably antifa and other anarchist groups to stop passing outbreaks 214 and 15-year-old black kids and telling them to throw them at police. you had a group of peaceful protesters making a citizen's arrest on the violent protesters and handing them over to the police who are that moment missing in action. it's a disgrace what's going on. what these people are doing is causing generational permanent damage to cities that are majority black and brown. george floyd is turning in his

grave. he was a decent man, his family is made up of peaceful people that understand that this is violence and criminality has nothing to do with justice. >> laura: pastor scott, one of my friends earlier tonight who is not a big fan of president trump said to me in a text, said, where's oprah? where's obama? you know, beloved people in the african-american community, global superstars, you know, all the big athletes, where are they appealing to these people to go home? go home, take care of your families, take care of your mom, your dad, whatever it is, but go home. you know, you can protest peacefully in the morning, but go home. where are they? >> no, their voices are very, very silent right now. helped agitate and instigate and stir the spot by continuing to insist that the black community in america was being oppressed

and now they are being very, very silent about it. you have all these elements in society that's a trump is not my president. obama is still my president. they have the hashtag, still my president. where is our president at? why isn't he standing up as an american citizen? as a public figure, and saying listen, this is not the way. violence will not help anything. there is insidious criminal elements that seek to exploit and capitalize upon this human suffering and this injustice and are doing it front o for nefaris sinister purposes. president trump stepped up to the plate and said not on my watch, i'm going to put a stop to this and he's going to do it and we've seen a small taste of it and if these people don't calm down, let me tell you something, they're going to regret a lot of the activities that they've engaged in. >> i'm so pleased. i couldn't agree more with my brother, darrell scott. and let me just add, i'm so pleased that president trump, attorney general barr has labeled antifa a terrorist

organization. what they need to do is follow the money. how is it that bricks and bats and two by fours end up in these communities from kansas to los angeles to new york and given out to these violent anarchists? follow the money and i suspect you're going to find open society foundations and george soros fingerprint's. that man should have been deported several decades ago. is the destruction to our civilization and a clear and present danger to our country. >> laura: i just ought to remind of her buddy watching tonight that the united states of america, okay, is the only thing standing between the people, the planet, and more of a chinese-run global cooperative. okay? america, there are a lot of people who believe that america has to be taken down in order to establish the utopia of more of a global governance. and they just want that. they don't like the old normal, that's why they love talking about something called the new

normal. it's not about racial harmony, it's about domination, and that's what they're all about, domination. anderson cooper is lashing out at the president for wanting to end the lawlessness. watch. >> the president seems to think that dominating black people, dominating peaceful protesters' law and order. it's not. he calls them thugs? who is the thug here, hiding in a bunker, hiding behind a suit? who is the thug? >> laura: pastor scott. >> anderson cooper sounds stupid. i tell him not to his face. let me tell you something, joe biden calls for sweeping police reform, but during his administration's eric gardner, tamir rice, freddie gray. they all died during barack obama's demonstration and he didn't cause sweeping police reform then. this harvest that we are receiving now, it's based upon

seats that were sown during the prior administration. if george floyd is the last straw, than the first, second, third and fourth straw all came up under obama's administration and they didn't have this degree of outrage. there were not trying to accuse the president or hold the president comfortable for actions of individual policemen. >> laura: joe biden was in the senate for 30 years. what the heck -- what did joe biden do for the african-american community in our 30 plus years? what did he do? speaker pelosi, biden. all these characters have been in power for decades and all these cities that are being burned on fire, 99% of them are controlled by liberal -- the most far left wing liberal democrats who have controlled it as a one-party state for decades. it must come to a crashing halt and end. if there's one precedent that has done something for real criminal justice reform, it's the one you've got there right

now, president donald trump, who's done something about reforming our criminal justice system will have done something to give young blacks and brown -- pouring historic amount of money to pay historic black colleges, a total reversal from the last administration that actually defunded black -- historically black colleges and universities. time for folks to really wake up. >> laura: they have no record and they know it, so that's also why they're angry, because trump actually outdid them in helping people and now he's got to get tough, got to get tough to restore these cities and give people hope again. thank you so much, great to see both of you. >> god bless you. >> laura: stay safe. i hate that phrase and i'm going to say it to all the people tonight. i never protest over george floyd's horrific death escalated into violent riots. in michigan sheriff chris swanson one of the demonstrations in his county to be healing and a healing experience so he and his fellow officers left their helmets and their batons behind and they

walked alongside protesters. >> the only reason we're here to make sure that you've got a voice, that's it. don't think for a second that he represents who these cops are from all over the county and around this nation. we go out there to help people. not do that nonsense. we want to be with you all for real. so i took the helmet off, they laid their batons down. i want to make this a parade, not a protest. >> laura: sure if swanson joins me now. that was one of the bright spots in a very, very difficult weekend. sheriff, what made you decide to take that route when so much around the country was falling apart? >> you know, i would love to say that i would plan that, would love to say that it's part of the protocol, but we saw the boiling point that started and in 8 minutes and 46 seconds, the entire good of police was

erased. all those inroads at all those things that law enforcement have done in that moment because of one person who wore a uniform but wasn't one of us. and i saw those tensions build and now we saw them over the weekend. they attacked police department's and then we had our own demonstrations, laura, and we saw people that showed up and we marched with them and it went east to west and then they turned towards the police department. there was hundreds of folks and as they were coming towards the police department, you see what we did across the nation. we prepared for a conflict. battle armor, helmets, batons and armor, but when i walked up, i saw -- a township officer, one of the local police department's, jack miller come into a bump. fist bump and i saw a hug and i said we can talk to these folks. and they were just as frustrated. there were just as angry as what you see and what i just heard

from your last report. i took my helmet off, the officers, they put their batons down, i went in the ground, the first shock collar i saw, i said come here, give me a big cause. i've been a cop for 27 years and that was the one thing that was the catalyst right there. >> laura: well, i've got to say, so many of us were so upset about what was happening to the country and all these little businesses and just seeing -- it sounds very trite, i guess, but a human moment, because we are all human beings. everybody out there is a human being, but if you violate the law and you decide that you're going to smash people in the face with a tire iron or beat somebody into a pulp, you know, throwing a bench at them, that's not a peaceful protest. >> and that didn't happen in flint, michigan. they made history, when they said walk with us, it showed that the vulnerability and trust -- i'm not trying to be macho, but walking into a crowd was probably the least tactical thing i could have done, but i

saw that they wanted a voice to listen to and that second question i asked that really changed the history of this town and set an example across the nation, they didn't even script "walk with us." they all said it in unison and when we took our first step, the message of hope -- i hear what you're reporting and i've seen what's going on, my heart breaks for our nation. our people are scared and i give a message of hope. you saw what happened here, you're seeing it in houston, miami, green bay, and across the nation. there is hope coming, there's peace coming but we've got to stay the course. >> laura: with got to get order in the streets though, sheriff, because the people that new york tonight, they're not huggers. >> they're not protesters. they're not protesters that we saw that night. >> laura: but sheriff, thank you for what you did in that moment that was just her judgment after all your years of experience and when everybody says defunded the police, as they're saying all over new york, spray painting it,

there defunding people like sheriff swanson. that's not going to happen. thank you, sheriff. >> thank you so much. >> laura: in a moment, raymond arroyo exposes all hollywood helping writers get out of jail. you seriously need to hear this one, stay tuned. you doing okay?

>> laura: we are going to go to raymond arroyo. this has been important and how these have been framed from the beginning. >> i've been keeping a close eye on the peaceful protest. some in the media are justifying them. we are seeing a lot of this all across the landscape. one of the things that i want to draw your attention to, i'm going to mention don lemon last night encouraged celebrities to join these young people with their platforms. i don't know what he expected. i guess oprah was supposed to break into the nike store with him. here is an air jordan for you and you and you. celebrities on social media raising money for those arrested in minneapolis. it's unbelievable. they are co-opting the hurt and rage of african-americans and really justifying, laura, and extending by buying these people out of jail for bail, indiscriminately.

these are the antifa people. they are bouncing them out of prison. today we had to church visits. the president of course made that historic speech in the rose garden as they pushed all of those violent protesters out, laura. the president drew a line in the sand and my prompter is rolling ahead so forgive me. he drew a line in the sand inside if the governors and mayors do not get control of these writers, he was going to send in the military. meanwhile, joe biden goes, then he crossed the street, historically, he went to st. john's. meanwhile, joe biden goes to a church, and ame church in delaware. here's what he had to said, a double whammy. listen closely. >> we also have to fundamentally change the way in which police are trained. incidents during their teaching a cop when all marmot person is coming at

him -- an unarmed person is coming at him shooting in the leg and said of the heart. >> the president. can you imagine if donald trump stood and then ame chapel and said shoot somebody in the leg, not in the heart. it simply unbelievable. it was a historic moment from the president. he was a law in order candidate. >> laura: his speech on saturday was phenomenal. it was empathetic with strong not going to tolerate lawlessness. will be tolerated on my watch. very empathetic. think the president has to balance the strength with the empathy for people who are hurting, people who are truly hurting. now it's gone beyond hurt over george floyd to the heart of

business owners and terrifying citizens. >> there's a line being drawn in the sand. this campaign is looking like the empathize or in chief versus a law and order candidate. we'll see what america wants. i have to tell you when i read of the celebrities bouncing with people out of prison who are destroying these communities, they should be raising money and have online fund-raisers for the minority businesses that where watching being burned tonight in st. louis, new york, and across the country. this is where the charity should be. >> laura: exactly, in st. louis, as we remember, was hit, the st. louis area and ferguson was hit so hard just a few years ago after the michael baronmichaelbrown killi. >> these are the lifelines, the arteries of the communities. this is where these people live and work. when you cut them off, they don't come back for a decade. god bless all of these people. my heart breaks for the small

business owners. >> laura: i've got to say people have big platforms. celebrities have made an enormous amount of money in places like china and all around the world and that's all right. china, whatever they want. but on a night like tonight where you see cities burning, this is where you come together as americans in sight even if you don't like trump, you don't like republicans come you don't like us, fine. but do you love the country enough to say this is not acceptable behavior? when do we start becoming americans here and stop worrying about who is on trump's side or who is green or red or blue state, whatever state we are talking about. this is about america. america. >> the fraudulent of the justification. i heard it all day, the boston tea party, the country was built on rioting. nonsense. the sons of liberty through the tea over, they didn't burn

boston harbor or destroy their churches and taverns. they had to live there. they understood that. but somehow now when you torture you live, these minority communities, african-american communities, they need our help not to be torched and looted. >> laura: someone said to me just a few moments ago in a text, said "laura, they are putting hairdressers in jail for opening hair salons." or they are harassing ministers in kentucky a month ago they wanted to have a church service. they are pestering all these good people over these regulations on covid, serious stuff. but people are just walking into stores and taking whatever they want, smashing, throwing molotov cocktails at police. that's not the american way. that's not anything. that is just brazen chaos, anarchy, nihilistic.

raymond, thank you for that analysis tonight. the media, they have a lot to do this as well. aiding and abetting. thank you for watching on a very sad night for this country. but tomorrow, we'll be back. always fighting for liberty. shannon bream and the fox news at 19 take it from here. >> shannon: it is 11:00 p.m. on the east coast and that means right now a curfew is set to go into effect in new york city. we are monitoring the situation and in the big apple. we will take you there live in minutes. on another night of protests and looting in the aftermath the killing of an unarmed african-american man, george floyd, at the hands of minneapolis police officer. national guard units manning the streets of a number of cities. large crowds breaking curfews here in washington, d.c., and elsewhere. tonight in hopes of sending a message of renewed hope for law and orde
