♪ >> shannon: it's 9:00 p.m. on the west coast, three hours until curfew in los angeles county but we're getting reports once again of protesters clashing with law enforcement and once again tonight across the country. if it's midnight here on the east coast and that means we're one hour into a new curfew in new york city amid plenty of unrest and looting tonight and were monitoring the situation and we will take you live to those cities and more across the country in minutes. at 1019, in sending a message for law and order, although the white house and what across lafayette park filled with protesters and fire to visit the burned down st. john's church this is "fox news @ night" and shannon bream and let's get back

to new york city where brian is reporting the new development here tonight and the curfew moving a little bit earlier this morning, brian. >> yeah, they're moving the curfew to 8:00 p.m. tomorrow and today it started at 11:00 p.m. and frankly they realize that's too late because they saw multiple multiple groups of hundreds and thousands of writers and other peaceful protesters we saw earlier just wreaking havoc on manhattan and they are still at this hour. we're now in the middle of manhattan and you know, here is a sign and think you heroes we love you. were in the middle of the hardest hit area of the covid-19 but then they supper here is the situation we are dealing with now and completely limited on madison avenue and you get a look inside. everything's gone inside. this is the situation we've been dealing with and no other city has had the kind of coronavirus

situation we've had here. we've dealt with tremendous loss on the job side. loss in terms of lives and all of that is happening, this is now happening. this is the front door of the at&t store and just completely limited and we are seeing this up and down madison avenue in the middle of manhattan. we know the mayor is driving around new york city and he said he stopped at barclays center in brooklyn and the protests were peaceful and fine but he also stopped by madison realize that it was not based on his twitter account and it clearly has not been. this is still a dangerous situation and i'll say that if you look over here down madison, it's empty. so they blocked off madison avenue and now you're starting to see the effect of the curfew. we are hearing live reports of people shifting and what's

happening now, shannon, that people -- they steal their stuff and they jump into a vehicle and they moved to the next spot. it's a coordinated thing and we are reducing license plates from texas out here and i know that the nypd has said they believe at least 1 out of 7 that were arrested so far before tonight where people from out of state as far as nevada and texas. but also from new jersey and connecticut and people from all over who have come into our city and decided to take full advantage of the situation and destroyed. that's what's happened tonight and continuing to happen. it seems like the situation at least in this area is now under control but we are hearing about downtown and now on the west side. again, all day they've been moving around the city and taking advantage of the situation. we were at the macy's, we obviously had video of people stealing even before 8:00 p.m.

tonight which is where the new curfew will be tomorrow. we saw an officer that was down, injured during this and he seemed to be okay, but we are seeing videos of officers in the bronx reportedly attacking as well tonight. mass looting on a grand scale here in new york city. it's tremendously sad to see and it's not just the looting, it's the fact that it's the trashing the city that we love in the city that, frankly, has gone through so much in the last three months and so many people have been waiting to get out of their apartment and homes to enjoy the city. they haven't been able to because of the coronavirus and now it is being destroyed while they are stuck in their apartments. shannon, that's a situation a situation. >> shannon: brian, and credible one-two punch as you said that so much pain over the last two months.

and getting the inkling of being able to return to work that people so desperately need in the city they love very much. be safe, brian and we will check back with you and thank you for reporting o on the ground continuing for the weekend tonight. also breaking tonight, more unrest in washington and our camera caught a police car on fire and heavy smoke downtown after hours protests were moved away from the white house and which we showed you last night and they get to kevin corke and the brave crew, you side as it was ablaze last night. the walk the president took was minutes after he left the country. >> there not acts of diesel protest. these are acts of domestic terror. that's why i'm taking immediate presidential action. to stop the violence into restore safety and security and i mobilizing all them available resources to stop the rioting

and looting an end the destruction and arson and to protect the rights of lahm law-abiding americans including our second amendment rights. >> shannon: kevin corke on the scene last night, back out there tonight in the nation's capital and a very different posture out there tonight, kevin. >> indeed, very different posture when compared to last night near lafayette park although i must say by the camera we have a fairly tense circumstance here just north of dupont circle. what you see is a massive law enforcement presence and just a little bit of a head count and i'd at least 100 and may be 150 uniformed officers in this particular intersection. what we noticed was a group of protesters were actually marching through this part of the city and they were sort of cutting through the neighborhoods and they wanted to cordon them off and keep them to the main thoroughfare which you would expect. but ultimately, they ended up

trapped here between 14 and 15 and there is been a bit of a standoff if you will end apparently one of the homeowners allowed several of the people who are marching here to go into their residence. i never have them been extracted in the process and taken away in the curfew was clear, it was 7:00 and they had several hours to figure that out in the president was very clear, the mayor was very clear. if social media on television, it is not as if they didn't know and i showed also add this. they were fairly lenient and i thought we marched with some of the protesters in the street of dupont circle for the better part of 45 minutes to the hour. again, they were not bothered but ultimately no you're looking at a circumstance where they're having to pay the price for being out here after the curfew. we will keep an eye on things here and relatively quiet especially when compared to last night.

>> shannon: all right, kevin, please stay safe there and daisy said plenty of folks out past seven so there's opportunities to comply with the curfew and the mayor said it. it sounds like tonight, kevin, think you so much it will check back with theo. currently, in seattle tonight holding their and corresponded dan springer is there. some activity over the weekend in seattle and good evening, d dan. >> good evening, shannon, the protest is about five hours long and it wanted through the entire downtown streets of seattle and it's been very peaceful the entire time and things picked up a little bit were a little bit of a standoff here at the east precinct of the seattle police department and the crowd has been chanting "lead us through, lent us through" and we seen some reinforcements the police are bringing in reinforcements that are in full riot gear but this is been a

peaceful protest. it's still going with about three or 400 people but at the height of this protest had about 3,000 people as it was going through the streets of seattle. we got video earlier today and a nice moment here outside the east precinct when you had some dialogue actually between the commander of the east precinct and the protesters and it was actually some talk back and forth and they're talking about things like recruiting police officers and things like that. it's a nice moment in a couple guys who are talking about police issues and you know, protesters earlier demanded that the mayor or the governor calmed down and talk to them and talk about police reform and that didn't happen. the protesters got the commander of the east precinct and study but again, this is a very large protest that went through the streets of seattle and ended up here in the east precinct where now you have about 300 people or

so and getting a little bit more agitated. but nothing like what we saw on saturday when it was massive damage in the city of seattle. there's millions of dollars worth of looting and buildings that were you know, tagged with lots and lots of graffiti and there's police cars set on fire. that was a really bad violent protest that took place on saturday night. but since then, it's been better and now we see pepper spray that's coming and things being thrown at the police. and flash bang, right on cue. the police finally had enough and they finally decided to disperse the crowd and you talked about the curfew. the curfew here free seattle did take it in about three hours ago so these people are violating the curfew in about three hours the police kind of let it happen and they allowed them to stay there at the police line in front of the east police

precinct and they decided they had enough. maybe somebody threw something into the police line but we don't know and you can see the flash bangs and grenades going off as well as tear gas being fired by the police. now we are seeing the crowd dispersing coming this way and the police do actually have many different parts around the precinct covered and other police officers. right now, we are seeing the crowds disperse in the lot of tear gas coming this way. the crowd is coming towards us. we see the police up above with a helicopter and we could probably get a little distance around the teargas. excuse me. so, we do see some guys here who had pepper spray sprayed at them and helped out by some other people. just in the very front of the

crowd getting the pepper spray in their faces. you can see the plume of smoke there that's teargas that was shot at this crowd. again, about 300 people who had to have been out here since about 4:00 this afternoon. roughly five hours in a peaceful protest and i did not see what tipped off this thing and sending this off but you can see just how volatile things can be read again, can't emphasize it enough for five hours this is the textbook example of how the police and protesters can kind of meander through city and have no problems whatsoever and then boom, all of a sudden you have violence. more flash thanks, more teargase intersection here and things being fired back and forth from

the police and at the police. you can see both. i see a lot more teargas in the intersection. >> shannon: if you can hear me there, you mentioned the curfew there kicked in more than three hours ago and we saw a lot of activity on the streets in seattle. much of the criminal in nature over the weekend. what we have seen tonight in the number of days is a much more beefed up presence of law enforcement and assisted by the national guard. can you ss or do you have a sense that tonight there is more manpower on the street and there is a line being drawn by law enforcement officials about what they are willing to tolerate and violating the curfew. >> i can tell you the seattle police chief said the curfew would be enforced. i don't know what's happening here would enforce another curfew as much as may be something happened to start to this whole thing. i don't know if there was some agitation between the protesters

in the police but they have been very patient with the crowd all night long and they've been keeping both sides of the protesters covered with police lines and they've had any engagement and no violence whatsoever. so, the national guard troops here in seattle. a probably around 300. all 8,000 with the washington national guard troops are available in the series but what we are seeing here is something that just blew up in a second. the protesters wanted to get through that line of police officers and get further up the street but they have been here at this location literally for a couple of hours. so for the protest it's been going on for hours in a long time just winding its way through the face of seattle and then ultimately ending here like you said, cut it on tape earlier where it's a pretty good moment

where the protesters were calmly talking to the commander earlier just before the commander looking at me and showing some leverage. so, all these things blow up in the minutes notice. getting inside the crowded, and i can't tell you what happened to set this off. i can tell you right now we've got a lot of activity going here between the police and some of the protesters up there in seattle. >> we wanted be safe and that's the priority and we had teller viewers that as we had the last night, there is profanity graffiti and we apologize for that and were covering this live. we are covering this line and it's unfiltered in this case. can you tell us much about what happened over the weekend and we

seen some videos there in seattle. some serious incursions of things that happened and can you give us a sort of recap of what the weekend was like prior to this day and started out more peacefully. >> a crowd about 3,000 and coming at us now and some of the protesters are firing. but, shannon, -- yeah. so, okay. >> shannon: i want you to get to a safe place. >> yeah, anyway, saturday we had another protest which was pretty big and very peaceful for several hours. and then about 3,000 people and then all of a sudden all hell broke loose. they were going through the streets of downtown and we had

people writers were breaking windmills of every business they could find their dozens and dozens of businesses that were limited and there were cars set on fire in the police department. but half a dozen or more that were torched and 50 to 100 buildings had damage and millions of dollars worth of damage on saturday. you can see some of the other messes that the polices are using to disperse the crowd and the incendiary devices. a lot of flash bangs and a lot of flash bangs they are trying to disperse the crowd. now we see more police officers come through bike and i saw somebody throwing something at the police officers and there's another -- there is another project i'll throw in police officer as they were driving their bike into the scene going right through all that.

yet, more explosions from flash bangs back and forth. so, i can't emphasize just how bizarre this is that we had what was really a textbook, very peaceful protest for five hours. the organizers of the protest were employing their people to keep it peaceful and they did. you had a couple hundred people that didn't want to leave and they would not leave with another pearson so after about five hours you don't know exactly what set this off but all of a sudden, in the live shot, this is what happens. we have flash bangs coming towards us and there's something else thrown at the police. we were in bellevue yesterday and it actually had less than

lethal rounds shot at us in a group that wasn't at us personally but at a group of young men were burning an american flag and they were getting really rowdy and the police had it in bellevue which is across the lake here from seattle. they fired in the less than lethal rounds at them. we actually got kids and my cameraman, protesters who were setting a barricade behind us. if we can turn around here, jeff, see what they're doing with the barricade. so, that's what we have here, we have the element that's going to dig into the fight and they're going to get it. if there you go. so, a lot more -- yeah, we got to get back, guys. >> shannon: you guys get to a place of safety. yeah, definitely do that and make sure that you get where you need to go.

watch it unfold live with correspondent dan turner there on the ground and as you talked about there is a protest started out as peaceful and there's a curfew that kicked in hours ago there in seattle and that these folks were not observing it and they had a little bit of a standoff which means something just moments ago triggered action and we now see telling us that the flash bang grenades and tear gas being used to disperse the group that was refusing to leave despite of the orders and in order there. a lot of trouble over the weekend and folk standing firm in their protests and they wanted to stay in the area. we've seen varying degrees of success with the curfews across the country but this is the scene now live in seattle and as we monitor that and make sure that his crew get the safety and bring her on the panel and watch seattle and bring them back to

the conversation, think you guys were sticking with us. i went to get the initial reactions to what we are seeing in seattle. also, with us back tonight with charlie marino, i want to start with you and we been watching and talking through what's happening in d.c. tonight and it's a different scene here but what do you make of what we're seeing today out in seattle where it looks like law enforcement is getting active steps to disperse the crowd. >> thank you for having me back in we are seeing larger deployment of law enforcement resources with national security staff. the curfews are not being enforced as strict as they could be and what we're seeing is were seen more aggressive actions being taken by the police in terms of moving people along and strategically getting to areas isolated areas that they want them to end up in so i like what i'm seeing in the direction we are going and were not there yet and as you know it's going to

come down to local leadership and really strictly enforcing all of the curfews and get people off the streets and i like the fact that the start of the curfew earlier and the states are in following suit i don't know and i know new york is switching earlier tomorrow night and that's the step in the right direction but now we've got to let the police execute the plan and force the curfew. >> shannon: live in seattle where we've seen activity between police and the protesters in its 9:22 there on the west coast and the curfew supposed to kick in in seattle at 6:00 p.m. local time and we are seeing a very heavy police presence in law enforcement presence on the streets and trying to disperse the people who are not observing the curfew and wanted to stick around and so we will monitor the situation. let me ask you, we've heard a lot about how the groups have come together and we hear the same stories from the reporters in every city every night and

daytime, before sundown and people posttests and trying to draw the message back to george floyd and his cases beyond george floyd and i know you're involved with some others as well. then what happens you get into the evening and people who are not part of the groups they want to infiltrate or take advantage and leverage the groups or simply show up and commit criminal activity and no way connected to the george floyd chait done my case and it's a problem for enforcement and many "new york times" reporting on this the deputy commissioner john miller who was overseeing the police department counterterrorism and intel gathering efforts in the groups are using encrypted messaging apps ahead of the protests and they are raising bail money and recruiting medics inc. anticipation of violent interactions with the police and they are some organize activities going on here. >> is the conclusion that that and in the postmortem death,

there is people waiting for the catalyst moment to come together and greater intelligence here with 9/11 and around the country with correlated attempts at a moment's notice and where is the national security apparatus and monitoring the things and make sure the president is tweeting about obama gates and why was he not hunting these people down and making sure this cannot happen. also be looking for how do we have a legislative solution to this and militarize the police force and get out of this and find a solution that works bring people together and actually solving the issue that led to the nonviolence protests. >> steve rogers with us and how do we get to the long-term solutions and we had a congressman who spent years on the beat as a police officer and he talked about the message of not policing or community but

that you are partners in this and how do we move forward with that message and things conciliatory in nature and very tough communities. >> best solution i believe is community policing. the police in the 90s build partnerships with people in the community and the clergy in each community the pastors and the ministers and the rabbi, the men and women who ran the houses of worship work hand-in-hand with the police agency and bridge the gap that seemed to be separated over the years. we have to bring back enhanced community policing and just when know what i want to make i know the president takes a lot of hits but he's been talking about that and talking about bringing community back and talking to ministers and police officers and so i don't think anyone should be the man's down the top of this and he is. the more emphasis on community policing by the purveyors and by the governors in the partnership

of anyone including the business community and the educational institutions will be on her way to healing the wounds. >> ted williams quick comment from you before we go back on life and tidy. >> he just said something that i agree with and i think there's a definite need to salvage a report with the members of the community where the police officers can trust the members of the community can trust to the police officers. so the community police and i do believe is one of the keys to the success of keeping these kind of activities from happening and i know that they even now tomorrow and the next day of the members of the community and get with the clergy and get with people were expected in the community and they will help them quell the kind of rights. >> shannon: okay, panel, thank you very much and stick around with us a lot of

expertise on the panel legally from law enforcement perspective and beyond and we appreciate that and if you can stick with us, we are looking live at a couple places in washington, d.c., of course we've been covering this for several nights here. very different posture on the streets tonight we see a lot of protests and a lot of arrests now going out tonight. a lot more manpower and kevin corke reported of a low-flying helicopter and great video of that online and other places that you want to check out what that looks like in reality. also following the situation in portland, maine, where we've been occasionally checking in and police protesters our saying a peaceful protest and other people do my police talked about protecting the first amendment rights but also property and safety there and it appears as a peaceful moment there in portland we will continue to follow that in seattle where we been watching more activity unfold at that point tried to

disperse the protesters out well past the curfew there. we'll continue to monitor the situation, but earlier today we talked about in minneapolis the brother of george floyd who's been calling for peace after a week of protests there. correspondent mike tobin has been there and witnessed a lot of the devastation and he's back on the ground tonight and let's check in with him. good evening, mike. >> good evening, shannon called for peace along with a heavy hand from law enforcement. with the enforcement of the curfew, it doesn't mean that this area is without skirmishes and without arrests and there's a couple areas where watching tonight. one is that the intersection of 38 in chicago, this is the area where george floyd died. there's been a memorial out there, people have repeatedly been going back to the area to demonstrate in all all night long to demonstrate the issues with the 10:00 p.m. curfew and there is still out in the

intersection as we speak. if the police came out there and a lot of people left at their own accord by the number of people are likely to sit down in the intersection there. it's really a matter of time and the police were watching them and it doesn't look like anyone is doing some of the more aggressive vandalism or arson or anything like that and police are watching to see if they do any of that and they will make their own decision as to if they're going to enforce the curfew. across the river in st. paul, at the capital, we watched a very peaceful demonstration that materialized on the very nice blue sky and sunny day out here and didn't have any trouble at one point the national guard came out and prayed with the people who are demonstrating. about some of the demonstrators elected to stay pass that 10:00 p.m. deadline with the curfew and so some of them were zipped up and arrested for violation of the curfew. other than that, you have a very peaceful city and four nights of curfew going into effect in three nights in which it was enforced in a largely empty

street and clear that the law enforcement has taken control of the street at least for now. of shannon. >> shannon: all right, mike toning, they they could so much computing on reporting on the ground and check back and monitor the situation across the country. looking live in seattle and the police and protesters drove tense there and beyond. will be back. ♪ these folks don't have time to go to the post office

they use stamps.com all the services of the post office only cheaper get a 4-week trial plus postage and a digital scale

go to stamps.com/tv and never go to the post office again.

♪ >> shannon: all right, we've been monitoring the situation in seattle we want to take you there where dan springer has the reporting on the ground. if it's 9:35 and local time there and specific time in seattle and there's a curfew that was set for 6:00 p.m. tonight and plenty of folks not tell my complying with that. the police got involved with more aggressive means to try to disperse protesters and dense head earlier in the day have been pretty peaceful. it's now nightfall they are and he with his crew trying to get

away from what they are dispersing with tear gas and other means trying to quell the situation. again, apologize some what you're to hear and see, it is often rather rough and there's vulgarity and there is and their signs and statements by folks so we apologize for what you're hearing the last few nights on the air. if it's raw and unfiltered and live tv, this is a scene in seattle and a repeating of there tonight and we will continue to follow that. if this is scene that similar all across the country and local officials struggling with the best deal with the crisis of how to maintain order in this 80s and get control. if talking with somebody who is in that position tonight and the mayor of inglewood, california, and the former chief of police n santa monica james and good to have you with us tonight, sir. >> good to be here, shannon. >> shannon: let me ask you, because who the police chief of santa monica, some of the most vivid images that we have seen

it yesterday when we are covering this, it was people who is unabashedly with our cameras and other cameras on them pulling back plywood and baking into windows and winning stori stories. it seems a lot of people in the community who seem very abstract and what do you think when you saw the images there in santa monica. >> i thought -- first of all, it's been 15 years there and the great officers there, i feel like they didn't have mobile field forces which are necessarilnecessarywhen you havl unrest in the main source that faces the crowd but you also have field forces that go in and make arrests when people get out of hand. they did not deploy any and within 1700 feet of the main crowd, they vandalized and

looted third street, fourth street, and probably about 100 businesses. in that case, they let people down. >> shannon: i want to read something and a tweet from carvell wallace in the new york "time" magazine writer said this "just want to point out that in a demonstration, it's against petite don my police brutality, police are not law enforcement, their counter protesters that hopefully will make someone you love make sense." when you make of that characterization of the law enforcement that are there on the scene? >> if they're all peaceful demonstrators, your counter protesters but in this case, there are three different factions. one touch and the people who genuinely want to demonstrate and have their voices heard. overlaid on top of that there is people following the protests and they have a systematic plan to loot and break into businesses.

they secure the little $3 hammers and cars pulled alongside the businesses and they filled the cars and have the car is returned. then you have another group which are nt file types that are actually people that exploit the legitimate cost to do damage and the other side he had somebody break into a dmv and set fire to records and computers. you have two different categories of people involved in that the protest and have to deal with them accordingly. today, that's what's happening. >> shannon: yeah, we're definitely seeing a different level of personnel law enforcement on the street tonight and from "washington post," they talk about what a tough thing this is for mayors and where they go from, they say mayors of america's larger cities all members of the democratic party and some of whom are black or latino themselves must reckon with political priorities in conflict and leading up to their rhetoric as champions of

marginalized communities while maintaining a close working relationship often accused of inflicting harm. how tough is it, mayor, to be a mayor right now in america? >> actually, it's no tougher than it has been to be effective. to be bonded with the people that you serve, you have to do a few things. yet to provide for their public safety, you have to provide for their infrastructure and you have to provide for recreational services and you have to provide an economic climate that provides jobs so that people can take care of their families. that's what you're therefore but part of that public safety mission is to know when enough is enough. so it's no tougher now than it's ever been and it just highlights the shortcomings that some communities have. >> shannon: inglewood, california, mayor, former chief of police and s.w.a.t. commander, great to have you

with us and think you for lending us your insight tonight. >> good to be here, shannon, thank you. >> shannon: let's check back in with the kevin corke in washington and he's been on the beach for several nights out there and he is now around the city taking a look at different locations as there is been enormous increase of force that appeared at least to the eye on d.c. tonight in a very different vibe than what we saw last night. kevin, tell us where you're at. >> no question about that, shannon, were actually not terribly far from the washington convention center and massachusetts avenue cuts directly across sort of a diagonal pattern across the city in the lot of people come to washington and notice it right away getting in and the downtown area and you take it all the way to capitol hill and all the way up the northwest into spring valley and north and west end into maryland. i mentioned that because it's

very close to the convention center and you can tell from the pictures the streets are blocked off in many different directions and not just here and were actually close to mount vernon. it's not just this particular intersection if you drive up another 5 minutes, same sort of set up and you see lots of police cruisers and other flashing lights that tell you don't come this way and go elsewhere. this is part of the overwhelming short of force tonight designed at least in part to discourage individuals to break the curfew what you know was set for 7:00 p.m. the streets look awfully quiet and they look awfully empty, there's a reason for that. shannon. >> shannon: kevin, remind me, it's also 7:00 p.m. tomorrow night in d.c. and i think that's two nights of this? >> you hit the nail on the head, two nights, 7:00 p.m. and i suspect tomorrow will be similar although do keep this in mind.

at least it seems to me, shannon, very evolving their learning more about the patterns in what's happening with the protest and they're able to combat them if yesterday today is any indication certainly there are a lot better more prepared today and let's see what happens tomorrow. >> shannon: okay, we've seen all different agencies including the national guard on the streets of d.c. in a very different feel out there and kevin corke thank you for taking us around the city to take a look. much more with the panel and the growing unrest in the streets and the number of cities all across the country and will talk about what it means and what the president had and the critics saying he doesn't have tonight. they'll be up for us next. if stick. stick around.

♪ >> shannon: watching around the country wanted to get back to portland, maine, in one of the spots we've been watching tonight. thus far, seems like it's been peaceful but definitely a standoff with police, and police looking at the specific area there appearing to be holding an intersection or area they didn't want the protesters in. we've been checking and washing there and protesters still on the streets in portland, maine,

and closing in on 1:00 a.m. here on the east coast. and it plays not standing down and it seems the protesters are people making a point and not the activity we've seen in some other cities which is clearly across the line and out there in portland there's been tension and things remain calm for now and we will continue to check in there. let's delve a bit deeper into what we're seeing across the country and the discussion with the panel, robert pattillo, charlie moreno all back again with us. you know, because your former police officer here in d.c., we had kevin corke out not long ano and it's night and day from what we saw yesterday and some people you can see online and some of the critics of the president are saying it's way over militarized looking with a helicopters flying in all that kind of stuff. >> it's all clear, and i think

the curfew worked. i think they are very successful with the law enforcement in clearing the area and as you can see, kevin corke drove through the city, nobody is out there and that is the way the curfew is supposed to work. not to have a few people or some people and when you put a curfew and place and you want to enforce it any and everybody who's following said curfew should go to jail. i can tell you, shannon, look at what the headlines are going to say tomorrow and i may be wrong, but there's going to be some lawyers and the town is full of lawyers and the big question that they're going to ask is can the federal government be sued for trump using the federal government and moving the demonstrators back. that specifically from all indications. if you move them back because they were creating havoc, you can do it.

but for a photo up, that's going to raise up a legal issue. >> shannon: that movement was happening shortly before the city with a 7:00 p.m. curfew and well in advance they were giving up on the timing will be interesting to see and proceed to a law enforcement and listen we're getting into the 7:00 deadline. the new york attorney general letitia james and they are suing the trump administration. really pushing back on what they are saying the militarization of the president using and activating the military and the president of the united states is not a dictator. in fact, the president does not have the right to unilaterally deploy u.s. military across american states. charlie marino, bringing her back in and the sea three good service that's the debates about whether the president can in fact take the action. >> well, he can do what he's been doing and that is stressing

to the government he like to see the national guard took a more active role and short of the insurrection act which is pretty much when he announced today during his rose garden speech was that he wanted to the governors to take stronger action and utilize the resources that they have for the national guard. and kind of clampdown on what's been going on on their streets. if you know, as far as the point that he brought up regarding the president's earlier movement in lafayette park to go to st. john's church, that's the off the record movement of the president. it's not a republican thing, not a democrat think it's a presidential thing in the off the record movement as it's called it's not on the president's official schedule but the president makes it known that he wants to go in one location in this case from the white house to st. john's church. so what you saw was just prior to his speech at the rose garden, he saw a clearing of lafayette park in clearing up eighth street and north on 15th
