is expected to spy on trump campaign advisor carter page. rosenstein appointed special counsel bob mueller and oversaw the probe. we are seeing a lot of this unrest be put to rest. jillian: "fox and friends" has continuing coverage right now. ainsley: it is 5 am in the new york city area. we start with a fox news alert. tensions continue to run high across the united states as protests rates for an eighth straight day over the death of george floyd. dozens of arrests in los angeles as they divide curfew, police unleash pepper spray. ainsley: tragedy strikes in st. louis after a police captain is killed by looters. david doran was guarding the

pond shop. >> >> roadblocks. keeping looters at bay. >> >> we have the coverage to prove it where it started. and we are going to go to aisha hasnie in new york city where things look different. >> and we are at the intersection where there was a checkpoint on night. and the curfew listed at 5:00.

the checkpoints were working, the mayor cordoned off lower manhattan. and it was allowed in, a much more peaceful night we saw in the last two nights, thousands people protesters continue demonstrating even marching all the way to bill diblasio's residence and trump tower. some protesters defied new york city's 8:00 pm curfew and some were arrested. protesters were stuck on the manhattan bridge blocked on both sides for an hour. some protesters are calling for bill diblasio to resign. looting continued in parts of manhattan but nothing like we witnessed the last two nights which is why the president

tweeted this. new york city called out the national guard, the lowlife and losers are ripping you apart, act fast. don't make the same mistake you made with the nursing homes. here's what bill diblasio said about calling in the national guard. >> we do not need or think it is wise for the national guard to be in new york city nor any armed forces. we bring outside armed forces into the equation they are not trained for a dangerous scenario. >> reporter: several more protests are scheduled for later this afternoon. the curfew again still in effect until sunday. todd: thankfully it is much more quiet. over the last 24 hours a lot of new york city businesses look at

what happened monday night and tuesday as well. we can't count on the police officers. after macy's was looted, their flagship store at world headquarters you know what we are going to do? we will surround the building with razor wire and private security to watch their building and have specially trained dogs because they felt they could not count on the cops. the cops, outraged over the governor and the mayor as well. >> i'm watching my men and women dealing with something no cop could deal with. continuing to go forward to make an arrest. it is happening throughout the city, the men and women have

done so much over the last five days, the leadership team has done so much. and sitting in his office, not doing a good job and efforts. >> reporter: the police are outraged and people are outraged and what we saw last night and yesterday as well it is more and more people from various neighborhoods, more protesters are trying to stop the looters in action because they are co-opting their movement, co-opting their movement. brian: couple things. find out what is going on. i'm think to myself we have 34,000, maybe 36,000 police officers in new york. how come there wasn't enough, there have been clashes but we had enough. there were 8000 on duty.

how inexcusable is that? we are the amount officers, the stats show if you have amounted officer, that counts as 12 other officers to block, intimidate, control and corral and 700 arrests within 24 hours, the stupid bill rules in new york, they need to be interrogated, and robin. and destroy and pay the price and in many cases these kids are so young their parents find out for the first time what their kids are up to. 700 arrests, 700 out. they are out and about, bill diblasio, making sure they pull back and let people vent. the governor and mayor criticizing each other. they screwed up the response to the pandemic, contradict each

other and the governor says i'm not responsible for everything. i am not responsible for the number of cases in new york, not responsible for the nursing homes in new york, not responsible for setting the city down. i am not responsible for chaos in new york city. with so much as a politician as governor cuomo got away with. ainsley: that is why as far as the mayor is concerned bill diblasio, 60,000 signatures, to be removed from office and 75,000 signatures, many people are furious, talking about their insecurity. some of these small stores, department stores i getting hit. the police chief was saying just about all the people on the

streets, they can't be held on any sort of bail. the chief is saying, after 5 nights of protesting, the president saying i have the national guard ready to protect their cities. >> near dc overnight, to swarm the white house. they crackdown in the nation's capital. >> a peaceful day of protesting. you can see in the last few seconds several buses have pulled up, transport for the national guard behind the defense line, trash is starting to grow as they clean this up.

it is peaceful mostly throughout the day, some agitators, to tear it down and national guard and law enforcement, pepper spray people to get them off. they can't come over the fence. they didn't see anything like the military helicopters flying low yesterday. it was more subdued sort of thing. elizabeth warren along the fence line, calling for an investigation for the president's photo op at st. john's church, blasting donald trump's blasting of nationwide chaos. >> part of the solution, this president today is part of the problem. >> i won't fan the flames of

hate. >> donald trump firing back over twitter, sleepy joe has been in politics 40 years, now he pretends to have the answers, doesn't know the questions, joe has been politically we call his life as we learn the pentagon, 1600 active-duty military bases in the region but not actively participating or using civilian authority in washington at this time. >> we are talking to you on tuesday morning what happened at a church on monday night, the president and white house was getting a lot of criticism where they ordered the evacuation and

firing tear gas and stuff like that. william barr on sunday night ordered the perimeter moved back to lafayette park. in the afternoon it had not been done. apparently people started throwing bottles and things like that, evacuation orders, that is why they fired tear gas, but pepper spray. >> that is correct. william barr took full credit, the park police, putting out a statement saying, using teargas as was reported in using pepper spray, a nonlethal sort of thing. and put something to put protesters, the park police wanting to note the number of

ice filled water bottle thrown at him, more than 50 police officers have been injured since this started. todd: appreciate it. minnesota launching a sweeping support investigation into the minneapolis police department. in minneapolis the mother of floyd's daughter speaks out for the first time, very emotional. >> extremely emotional. it is hard not to be impacted by that mother's testimony, how good of a father george floyd was to his 6-year-old daughter but you were talking about the national guard, the presence is notable for minneapolis,

national guard soldiers defending the small grocery store, one of the few in the area that has not been looted. the national guard standing outside protecting the minority owned store so neighbors can -- a similar scene across the country, many stores reported up or have been ransacked creating food deserts. the governor says the department of human rights is filing a charge to launch a civil rights investigation into the minneapolis police department to review the department's practices and procedures over the past ten years to determine if there was discriminatory practices towards people of color and getting back to george floyd's 6-year-old daughter standing next to her mother at a press conference and says george floyd was a good man and his daughter is proof. >> he will never see her grow up, graduate.

>> reporter: in minneapolis tomorrow a private memorial service will be held, the river now sharpton will deliver the eulogy at floyd's funeral and public memorial in houston, texas next week. back to you guys. jillian: we were talking every morning about these riots and the looting. it reminds me how this all started and we want to make sure the focus should not be on the looting and riots and all those out there protesting, they need to be reminded to do it peacefully. heart wrenching to hear her talk about. let's hand it over to jillian who has more headlines for us. jillian: in alabama police officer shot and killed responding to a call as a super

8 motel sergeant was a 23-year-old veteran promoted to sergeant of the moody's police department, leaves behind a wife and 3 sons. the suspect are in custody. also breaking, 9 term iowa congressman steve king is out defeated in the gop primary overnight by state senator randy means trump. he was under 5 are extreme views and comments. roderick daniel tweeting steve king's white supremacist rhetoric is inconsistent with the republican party and iowa republicans rejected him at the ballot box. former deputy attorney general rod rosenstein heads to capitol hill today to testify on the origins of the russia probe, the first witness of the senate judiciary committee investigation. appointed robert mueller is special counsel and oversaw the probe after jeff sessions. some peace from fellow

demonstrators in philadelphia. >> we have a job to do. these people have a job to do. our protesters are not -- antagonizing the police. jillian: the patient speech comes days after rights including. sending it back to you. brian: we will check with jillian for the next four hours. looking forward to 9:35 eastern time, talking to the president live on the radio show, with 25 straight minutes. no idea how it will go but the president speaking out for the first time in a long form in about a week. i look forward to that opportunity and appreciate that. coming up straight ahead. steve: we look forward to that interview.

calls for leadership to step up across america. our next guest says if you want change it doesn't have to start at the top. 's explanation coming up next.

brian: back with the fox news alert, nation in turmoil, calls for change are heard from coast-to-coast. our next guest says after george floyd's death, it is not just politicians who need to show leadership. here is the president of sun vision strategy. you worked with scott taylor in congress when we had a black president, black attorney general, you say black life matter emerged but didn't change anything. how do we change something now? >> it is all about action and

leadership. you have guys like john jones and sheriff chris wanted out of michigan doing a phenomenal job. we need people with directional what to actually do. one thing i noticed is a lot of issues but no one knows what to do. the only way to change something through legislative process. we have to come together. what is frustrating is all these leaders out here, you have folks who are not giving adequate advice. you don't change something by burning buildings him about through legislative body, a process. if you really want something done, do a, b and c. 285 calls for congress to work with the president on changing this police reform and making it

work together because at the end of the day these law enforcement officers are defending us, they are coming together and say we can't complain, and turning up the streets does not change the issue. coming together, cannot pass the buck on the president and members of congress for decades and hasn't changed yet in this issue now. it is up to us in the community to see what is going on and this is how it needs to be done. todd: the president says i have a good idea, let's reform law enforcement, i am trying to keep law and order.

tell me what does better. >> a prime example. it is really moving, and emotional to watch. he went out and said we are here. we came back already. he took off his armor, and let's walk together. he reached out in his arms and hugs one of the protesters. it was so impressive. that is what we need. on both sides we work together.

at this point is not parties but getting something effectively done and so tired of people criticizing the president and our cities, doing a phenomenal job. his job is keeping the country safe. that is what we need folks to come together, building this thing, build better police relationships and until people understand there is an issue. people have to understand they have a job to do and say it's only one way, that's not how it is going to work and they are protesting and you can be frustrated but they have to know how this unfolds. todd: two stats i will leave you with.

and that cost him his life. number 2, 36% of the african-american community say they trust local law enforcement. that has to go up 70% of whites, 36% blacks, we have to close that gap, appreciate it. the law enforcement attack, riots across the country, how can we get justice for george floyd while keeping the police safe at the same time. david webb has an idea and will join us. if you have moderate to severe psoriasis, ...little things...

...can become your big moment. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea or vomiting. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. upper respiratory tract infection and headache may occur. tell your doctor about your medicines, and if you're pregnant or planning to be. otezla. show more of you.

jillian: we are back with quick headlines, joe biden inching closer to being the presidential nominee, the former vp sweeping all the primaries in dc overnight, less than 100 delegates from going over the top. the republican national convention could soon be pulled from north carolina. donald trump tweeting overnight the state will lose millions of dollars in jobs, we are forced to seek another state for the national convention, the controversy stemming from the governor refusing to lift covid-19 restrictions. >> we will see where they go. law enforcement has been targeted 2 dozen times since this past friday, writing including across country from

instagram, donald trump paid tribute to retired st. louis police captain david doran fatally shot while defending a pond shop from rioters. how can we move forward seeking justice for george floyd while trying to our officers safe? fox nation host david webb joins us from the south florida area. also on video, apparently terrible police brutality. that is one thing. at the same time, so many officers are simply trying to do their job and now with all these bricks and things being thrown at them they are in peril. >> when you look at the list of officers that have been hurt and killed, law enforcement officers have been killed by protests

that are peaceful this is a tragedy, it is a tragedy that should never have happened, there are lots of names on the list, david doran, a retired police captain, means nothing to these leaders. when you watch that video, it is heartbreaking, it is real. the young man in that video, this is somebody's grandfather, this is real, these are people and he is dying on that video. americans need to look at it for what it is, law enforcement needs to take control, ignore false narratives by president obama, joe biden, race and poverty pimps and people pushing the false narrative, blacks killed by police, yes, is it what they say it is? know. in the 2019 numbers of all police incidents blacks were only about a quarter of these incidents.

let's get real, you are being sold a false narrative, the anarchists, the rioters, the ones who want peaceful protest aim to destruction of society have taken you over and used you as cannon fodder for their ideas. steve: when you look at the last 24 hours what has happened, in many instances the looters are trying to break into stores which it happened overnight in new york city. people from the neighborhood, some of the protesters took matters into their own hands and would pull the looters away from the stores because they don't want the looters to make the protesters look bad. >> it is about time. i have been saying this since the beginning and we repeated a conversation in ferguson.

time for the protesters to take their protest back, time to take it back from these looters. they are destroying your neighborhoods. are you willing to let someone come from your own neighborhood or outside your neighborhood and destroy the store your neighbor built with their hard-earned sweat? we want to see economic blade in these neighborhoods? do you want to see razor wire around the store protecting it when private security and armed guards you reported on earlier? do you want to see americans protecting american business from those who are anti-american? this is -- the left wing, the black block and all of them, black lives matter didn't do anything for the issues. they simply used it. steve: the looting not only wipes out businesses and property but jobs and tax revenue going forward. it is a vicious vicious cycle. today from miami, thank you very much.

meanwhile, first they were shut down by the pandemic, violent destruction, some left without a business to walk into any more. charles payne on their fight to rebuild their lives. and into the unknown... for all of us. i don't have to worry about that, do i?are irritated. harmful bacteria lurk just below the gum line. crest gum detoxify, voted product of the year. it works below the gum line to neutralize harmful plaque bacteria and help reverse early gum damage. gum detoxify, from crest.

todd: violence erupting in the commonwealth of massachusetts, protesters clashing with police and lighting a dunkin' donuts location on fire. brian: in massachusetts a look at the damage. >> so many rallies across the nation thing started peacefully, but spiraled out of control.

they were vandalized and looted into this dunkin' donuts, every single window was smashed, clean up has begun at this location. my colleague was reporting live on the air, to set the building on fire, the fire was quickly extinguished and no one was hurt in the fire but officers were heard elsewhere in the city is protesters clashed with officers, the mayor releasing a statement. and fireworks at times, also state police troopers and national guardsmen are in the city. offices use teargas to disperse these crowds. there was also a curfew for 9:00 pm which hundreds of people flooding the streets and the

mayor praised and kept silent rioters to many businesses in the courthouse vandalized. we spoke to the owner of this franchise, the business was started by his father in law decades ago, he came from the azores and owned 58 dunkin' donuts locations. express a lot of sadness of what happened this morning, but reiterated the message, doesn't believe the majority protesters were to blame. the smaller group turned violent and damaged his business. >> just devastating to see that. charles payne, the host of making money on foxbusiness. why such fire to these businesses? why do these businesses? impact be people who don't have a job.

>> i lived in harlem when we had the infamous blackout, the hardest hit in vandalism, i remember when the lights went out i went downstairs on the corner, there was a jewelry store and someone said we will get something. i went upstairs, my mother said i can't go back out, i won't allow you to loot and as a 15-year-old it was frustrating watching everyone get all of this stuff, to get them to say this is a free be, corporate america doesn't work for you anyway, they are always ripping you off and i heard that kind of thing out of the mouths of joe biden when he takes on wall street, he takes on capitalism. when bernie sanders says

businesses are looting people and it is okay to loot them. 26 states, common sense not to burn down your own neighborhood, it creates frustration. it gets back to community leadership and hopefulness and you can't encourage this, looking the other way. those stories weren't spoken about. celebrities are not raising millions of dollars for small business owners that lost everything. >> for small business owners in new york who are watching right now are thinking i don't get this. why does governor cuomo and bill

diblasio, give the okay to march thousands in a crowd. it is okay to protest, not okay to open businesses. in new york city we are five days away from phase i. >> in such an awful degree, governor phil murphy trying to predicate yesterday suggesting people who were protesting over a hair salon were misguided and it wasn't the same thing. people are protesting over their rights and abilities to earn a living, to fend for themselves, people rejecting the notion of government freebies, crumbs and that sort of thing. it is mind-boggling again i heard a police chief say we won't protect property, that is your job. if you want a civil society with opportunities for the people you

suggest you care about that is your job. when the fires diana in the press goes way all that is left is trouble. to lift yourself out of that situation, watching very closely, the area prior to that was amazing. they park the goodyear blimp, amazing it was taking place at the time. >> physicists brought to their knees unnecessarily because the numbers of following off the charts, they can't get a florist open, a hard store console lottery tickets but can't actually sell cards. it is nuts. we will say this is the worst political movement ever but the big picture this is what bothers

me. a guy like tiger woods, having sympathy for george floyd and i will paraphrase stop the looting and he is getting criticized. how does he get criticized for saying stop the looting? what kind of upside down set of ethics is this? >> upside down set of ethics that has been in place for a long time. when someone commits a crime, someone in chicago wearing a red bandanna instead of a blue and anna, the media and press wouldn't blame the person pulling the trigger but the gun. these excuses have emboldened bad behavior. it is not love for the people, there is such a thing as being honest, tough love and being real but have to be better citizens. >> you can watch charles, making money with charles payne.

and it is 46 minutes those, jillian has headlines for us. >> >> edgar faces several charges including attempted murder of a police officer accused of shooting, and he is on life support. a congressman, hotline asking for speaking ties george floyd protest in new york. listen to this. new york democrat elliott angle speaking with the bronx borough president and try to declare the comments, disrupting the area of what is important. >> turning to extreme weather, all eyes on tropical storm

krista ball moving along mexico's is bringing wind and heavy rain between now and saturday, forecasters said could approach the us gulf coast between texas and louisiana this weekend strengthening to a hurricane by monday. we will keep an eye on that. todd: all eyes on the golf, thank you very much. a dozen minutes before 6 am in the east. still ahead apple putting looters on notice after stores got rated across country. kurt the cyber guy next with how apple is tracking down those stolen phones. coming up. and that protects our customers 24/7.

jillian: some quick headlines. republican congressman steve scalise will discuss the return of sports with several commissioners including roger goodell. games were called off because of the pandemic. nafta returns next month. the pga is preparing to return and training camps in their whole facility. most do but some branch out whether cases for training. the nfl hopes to begin postseason in september.

steve: a warning for looters who stole the iphones in today's riot. they are being tracked, social media posts show this message popping up reads this device has been disabled and is being tracked. local authorities will be alerted. here is kurt the cyber guy. good morning. >> good morning. ainsley: if you stole one of the phones on display you are being tracked. will they do anything about it? >> it is one of those little silver linings inside that awful site, when they tried to get into an apple store in the us, looters have a surprise. as soon as you get out of the store or the floor that you see through the window, they are rendered useless. even get a new phone out-of-the-box anywhere and it

hasn't been activated properly, they have the ability to simply make the phone as was a paperweight. a phone and apple watch and ipad, when you turn them on it asks you to connect to a wireless network, at least to sign on and it won't allow you to do these things. >> i hope the police tracked down these individuals. 140 of them just reopened after covid-19. any details about how many apple stores were looted? >> charleston, south carolina, there have been about 12 in the us that were looted and attempt to get them. they attempted to go in the back door but did not make it in. a lot of that merchandise is

simply not worth what it will be worth it if you were to buy that device. what good is a phone, what good is an ipad if it does not work? you can sell on the black market on ebay and craigslist but if you think it is a deal, it is too good to be true. it is the imd i number, no wireless carrier will activate that phone. >> apple is a big company, they thought ahead. they might not be able to skip back on their feet again. thank you. >> can i leave you this one thought, a noted to keeping your head. big tech needs to rise up and

help out, facebook, google, they went into each of the stores we are talking about. you see something alluded, they know which phone is inside that store. ainsley: apple declined to note messages of security but messages on demo products are not new. thank you for weighing in. still ahead at phillips and jonathan morris. .

[chanting] defund the police. brian: we begin with a fox news alert. tensions run high across america as protests rage and anger mounts again 8th straight day. this was the scene in boston overnight. ainsley: los angeles dozens of arrests there. darkness fell and people were defying the curfew. intense scene in portland as police unleash pepper spray. steve: meanwhile, let's take you to st. louis where strategy has struck after a retired police captain. that man right there killed by looters, 77-year-old david done was simply guarding a pawnshop when he was shot, apparently by looters. brian: some areas are seeing relief this morning including right here in new york city.

keeping looters at bay for now. ainsley: peaceful protests may continue. matt finn is on the ground in minneapolis where this all started. and then we have griff jenkins. he has the latest from the nation's capital. happened it over to aishah that has anywhere some stores are gone to drastic measures to keep the looters away right? >> that's right. i have never seen anything like this. i'm going to guess that new yorkers who live here. who have lived here for decades have never seen anything like this either. take a look what's going on here either. this is the sak's fifth avenue store it. is covered in plywood. and if you look closely it's also surrounded with raiser wir. we have never seen anything like this at these stores. a line of men standing ready to defend the store out front.

i was told by one of these men that they're private security. the "new york post" is reporting that sak's has hired this security. the store also apparently has floodlights now. and this comes after the looting we saw at the flagship store of macies'. we did not see that same extent of looting happen last night overall. a much more peaceful night than the last two nights. now, there were some demonstrations. we had thousands of peaceful protesters. they continue to demonstrate yesterday. even marching to mayor bill de blasio's residence and the trump tower. but some these protesters they continued and they defied new york city's 8:00 curfew. and some were arrested. at one point though, protesters were stuck on the manhattan bridge, blocked on both sides for over an hour. some protesters calling now for the mayor to resign.

meanwhile, as i mentioned. a lot of thing continued though on a much smaller scale. again in parts of manhattan. even after the mayor cordoned off lower manhattan out of those checkpoints and cut off nearly all traffic. governor cuomo has been really critical of the mayor. he has been calling him out for not using more police. listen to what he said and then a response. police in new york city were not effective at doing their job last night, period. >> tell andrew cuomo to get out on the streets with us. take a look at the coming that are out there. cops that are bleeding to keep the city. >> more protests are scheduled for later today. the curfew also still in effect. every single day it goes into effect at 8:00 in the evening at least until sunday. guys, what a sight to see. never seen anything go it. this is a store that has taken

extra measures. we have seen the plywood. we have seen some stores hire private security. i have never seen the barbed wire. steve, brian, anxiously? steve: aishah, you are exactly right. i understand as well sak's has hired that security firm and they have specially trained dogs. i would imagine they are inside the store at this hour. that razor wire, that barbed wire is on fifth avenue. it's sak's fifth avenue. this is one of the most expensive shopping districts in the world. that company had to do it aishah because apparently they simply they could not count on the police to keep them safe. >> i think a lookout of businesses saw what was going on the last two nights especially when the macy's flagship store was hit. we have seen up and down fifth avenue here. a lot of high end stores. luxury brands. they have already boarded their stores unjust in case or perhaps even after they were looted. yeah.

sak's decided we are going to take one step further and just be prepared. thankfully though, did not see the extent of looting that we have in the last two nights. we didn't see that last night. hopefully we don't for the next couple of nights. brian: aishah, thanks so much. i can't criticize the nypd. they are only allowed to do what they can do. only put 8,000 to cover a city this big, they are not super human. and they are literally in the line of fire. meanwhile the pentagon moving 1600 troops in d.c. overnight as protesters ignore the curfew and swarm the white house area. griff jenkins is live in washington with the crackdown in the nation's capital. griff, was it effective? >> well, brian, let me just show you real quick now what's happening here. we have been moved up one street. these guys right here. the special operations response team, federal bureau of prisons. they're complementing the secret

service. we are a block up from that corner lafayette square where that offense is erected. it appears what we are looking at is in the back they are cleaning the streets. they released a fire hydrant to wash the debris and filth covered the street. trash men in the distance that are gathering up supplies, milk, water, other projectiles that could possibly be thrown at these officers and secret service. the protesters have sort of made a common area for things to gather. they are throwing that away. they are getting rid of it. it was mostly a peaceful day. law enforcement did a great job with the protesters. there were very few squirmishes after midnight. they say very good things happen after midnight that was the case last night. 12:30 a handful of agitators charged the fence tried to scale it. national guard along with law enforcement were issuing pepper spray to get them off the fence. did not come across. unclear if any arrests were made. appears none were resulting from that. meanwhile, you did have out here

protesting peacefully senator elizabeth warren along with her husband and her dog. she is calling for an investigation into the president's photo op. at st. john's church. she wants to know what role the dod played. wants the inspector general to do a deep dive investigation into that. and former vice president joe biden speaking out yesterday attacking president trump's handling of this nationwide chaos. listen. >> the president united states must be part of the solution, not the problem. but this president today is part of the problem and accelerates it. i won't traffic in fear and division. i won't fan the flames of hate. griff: this movement you are seeing here by these guys, there is no protesters out here right now. but this city certainly in the hands of law enforcement and national guard and, of course, as you mentioned the pentagon saying they have moved some 1600

active duty u.s. army troops to military bases in the national capital region. they are not, according to a spokesman in washington, d.c. at this time, and they are definitely not participating in supporting civilian authority at the moment. brian, ainsley, steve? brian: hey, griff. you live there and live. this but remember after 9/11? they basically shut down car traffic, automobile traffic in front of the white house. right? even though those barriers can go down into the ground no. one drives there anymore. in a time like this. where there is national unrest, in the middle of a pandemic, why would they even allow people to get this close to the white house since we can all agree the president's security matters. why not set up a barrier that makes him ineligible to get that close that forces the secret service to be on high alert? griff: well, that's a good question. and one that i can't answer but i will suggest to you, brian,

that d.c. is the city of freedom for the entire world. and the law enforcement folks here are so good at being able to handle these things as i have watched since 9/11, remember, during the inauguration of president obama's first term it was locked down as well. but they like to show that we are an open, free society. so i think they want to take as least restrictive measures as they can and still maintain control. but when you have these nights pop up and you saw as you did here the looting, rioting, and destruction and threats to property and life, they clamped down hard and they get things under control. that's the situation you have now and i think it paints a very interesting contrast, brian, between what's happening here in washington and what's happening where you are in new york with the streets certainly not under the same control. ainsley: griff, what else the latest about that controversy? brian: go ahead, ainsley. ainsley: griff, what's the latest about the controversy of

the president walking over to the church a few days ago and people saying there was tear gas used. is that accurate? >> that's right. there is clarity on that point. and, no. tear gas was not used the park police issuing a statement saying they did not use tear gas. they used the pepper spray that they use. far less lethal. and we also know, ainsley, that attorney general bill barr now saying that he ordered that park be cleared after projectiles were lion to. were thrown. the number of secret service, law enforcement agents that have been pelted with rocks, projectiles, frozen ice. water bottles and so they felt when the president goes, the attorney general that is, felt when the president makes that walk, he wants that park cleared. and when you have a situation unfolding where the president is as exposed as he was on that long walk. you never see that sometimes during an inauguration you will

see people walk to the blare house. a much shorter walk from the white house. this is several hundred yards all the way across eighth street and open, active d.c. street was shut down. and so we are learning more about it. but the park police very much wanting to say that the accusations of tear gas not accurate. steve: griff from the streets of the district of columbia where there is a large federal footprint on this wednesday, june 3rd. meanwhile, let's talk about the state of minnesota where it all started. they have launched a sweeping civil rights investigation into the minneapolis police department after the death of george floyd. matt finn is live in minneapolis as the mother of floyd's daughter speaks out for the first time as well. matt? >> steve, the foot print of the national guard is still very notable here in minneapolis. i want to show you these national guard soldiers right now are defending this locally

owned corner grocery store because it's one of the few in the area that has not been looted. it's a minority owned store. and the soldiers right now are protecting it so that neighbors in this area can get groceries. cities across boarded up to prevent any more looting which unfortunately has created food deserts. here in minnesota george floyd's 6-year-old daughter standing next to her press conference. mother fighting tears saying her daughter will go through life without her father. [sobbing] i want justice for him because he was good. no matter what anybody thinks. he was good. and this is the proof that he was a good man. >> also here in minnesota the governor now says the department of human rights is filing a charge to launch a civil rights investigation into the

minneapolis police department. >> the investigation will review policies procedures and practices over the last 10 years to determine if the department has used systemic discriminatory practices to people of color. >> here in minneapolis a private memorial service will be held tomorrow. reverend al sharpton will deliver eulogy and public memorial is scheduled next week in houston, texas. back to you guys. brian: matt, being that usc eyewitness to all of this. i'm wondering in your opinion have things settled down because of increased security or have the antifa-like protesters who want to destroy, left? >> i would say we witnessed the national guard really beef up its presence here and we witnessed the national guard facilitate local fire crews and local law enforcement. and they had their back. and as that law enforcement

presence was beefed up. there was a much greater sense of calm and law and order here in this city. and it appears that any organized groupings that might have been here are no longer lingering on the streets, brian. brian: got it, matt, thanks. ainsley: that's interesting. the national guard, mayor de blasio says he doesn't want the national guard in new york city. all right. let's hand it over to jillian she is back in the studio with more headlines. jillian: we begin with a fox news alert. overnight an alabama police officer is shot and killed responding to a call at a super 8 motel. sergeant steven williams was a 23-year law enforcement veteran recently promoted to sergeant of the moody police department. he leaves behind a wife and three sons. two suspects are in custody. will also breaking nine term iowa congressman steve king is out. king defeated in the g.o.p. primary overnight by state senator randy. he has come under fire for

extreme views and comments. rnc chairwoman ronna mcdonnell steve king's white supremacist rhetoric totally inconsistent with the republican party. i'm glad iowa republicans rejected him at the ballot box. six police officers are charged after video is released showing tasing two college students in atlanta. the body camera footage shows the officers pulling students out of a car while stuck in traffic because the protests. two of the officers were fired for using excessive force. four others are on administrative leave. the officers are facing assault and battery charges, expected to turn themself in by friday. overnight the city of philadelphia removing a statue of controversial mayor and former police commissioner frank rizzo. the national guard surveil rounding thomas payne plaza as crews lifted the bronze figure. the statue which has repeatedly been defaced a focal point of anger and demonstration for protesters police bree tattle. rizzo had within accused of

discriminating against minorities. the statue was actually vandalized and spray painted the other night. one of the first thing it does none in the morning it was cleaned. a lot of people have been frustrated. brian: right. i know you know that area well. i have never seen more statues taken away in a holster in my life. i don't know what's going on here. i don't know anything about him. it's just strange. meanwhile at about 9:34 i will have are a chance to talk to the president of the united states on the brian kilmeade show. we will go half hour straight. blow out the break. go to brian kilmeade show.com listen live. if you are not in our family of affiliates or radio.com or on spotify as well as itunes listen to it live. hopefully the president will be able to answer a lot of the questions we have coming down the pike for him, including what he thinks about joe biden coming at him yesterday in a show of unity he decides to go after the president, interesting tactic. steve? steve: plenty to talk to the president about.

that's going to be great, brian. just about three hours from right now. in the meantime, speaking of the president. he says he will designate antifa as a domestic terror group. where are they getting their members? our next guest says they are recruiting right on college campuses. you have got to hear this story. it's coming up next.

ainsley: as riots erupted across america blamed antifa for much of the violence. as president trump vowed to will antifa as a terror group. one former number addresses where their members may be coming. >> from it is far more violent than anything i ever experienced or witnessed. i think it has to do with the fact that so many college

administrators on college campuses that allow antifa to work under their noses. we'll don't allow isis to recruit on college campuses and we should not allow antifa to do that either. ainsley: here to react is the editor and chief of campus reform cabot phillips. good morning, cabot. >> hey, ainsley. ainsley: why does antifa target college campuses. >> college campuses are perfect place for antifa to recruit. first of all what's going on in the classroom. they know classrooms places inundating with anti-capitalist. anti-cop and anti-conservative messages. students are more receptive to that kind of extreme rhetoric when they hear it from people in antifa already. young people are more likely to feel invincible they want to get involved and do crazy things and think nothing will happen to them and think there are no consequences. sadly they are right there aren't many consequences when they engage in political violence. social justice mind set wanting

to earn credentials with their peers doing the craziest things possible and showing the more violent and more intimidating the protests are the more woke they are and more committed to the cause. antifa given free rain on college campuses too long to recruit. we reported at campus leadership campus reform they have gone on completely unabbated by universities and had a free reign to grow their movement on campus. we know that what happens on college campuses inevitably bleeds out in society. that's what we are seeing this week with these organized riots around the country. these didn't just spring up. they are being led by members of antifa. and sadly too long to grow on college campuses. ainsley: years ago you said it was time to take antifa seriously. what was it that made you have that perspective. >> we have been blowing the whistle for years on this. thankfully networks like yours on fox are. i had a call from one of my reporters crying saying men with

lead pipes chased her to her car because she was covering protest. another student co-worker of mine had bone shattered by sucker punch from antifa. i have been at riots where i have seen their tactics. they are organized and growing and don't care about all ideals we hold dear. they don't care about free speech. they care about intimidation and violence to get what they want. i have seen that growing across the country. that's why more americans need to wake up to. this this isn't some group of goofy college students. this is a serious threat. and the president was right to call them domestic terrorists because the definition of terrorism is using violence and intimidation to achieve political goals. that's what they are doing and very open about it and proud of that fact. ainsley: what do you think -- what will that lead to? >> well, hopefully it will lead to dissuading people from joining the group more 18 or 19-year-old kids got to campus if they joined antifa they would be joining a group that's

antiterrorism. they start by making it look really fun. they call it the radical rush as if joining antifa is like rushing a sorority or fraternity. and they use this rhetoric to draw people in where they say to be antifa fascist is to be anti-racist and anti-bigot. of course we should all be anti-racism and anti-bigotry. what they don't say is label anyone they don't like as a racist or bigot and then in their mind it justifies their violent activities and so they reel people in with this idea that all they have to do to join the group is care about pushing back against racism and get students in and slowly indoctrinate them with this mantra of by any means necessary which is one of the things they are very proud of saying we are going to push back on racism and bigotry by any means necessary. they label anyone they don't like as a racist and invoke those tactics to stop them. that's why so many students fall for them. ainsley: thank you so much, cabot. as police work to bring calm back to new york city the state's democratic leaders or

lawmakers are now vowing to use police convictions to bail out rioters. the growing backlash after this break. payment relief options to eligible members so they can pay for things like groceries before they worry about their insurance or credit card bills. discover all the ways we're helping members today. because i trust their quality they were the first to have a vitamin verified by usp... ...an independent organization that sets strict quality and purity standards nature made, the #1 pharmacist recommended vitamin and supplement brand

the case. the department moving to drop the probe after fbi memos raised concerns about how it was handled. but you know that u.s.s. appeals court whether hillary clinton should testify about email set up. trying to avoid inperson deposition to a conservative group. accused of using private email account and server during her time as secretary of state. brian, back to you. brian: should be interesting. as new york city reels in the wake of violence at least seven of the state's democratic politicians announce they will be shutting or redirecting convictions they receive from law enforcement groups. really? some even using the police fund as bail-out money for rioters. here to discuss is new york city state g.o.p. member and congressional candidate herself nicole. the lead editorial in the "new york post" says it's time to get behind the nypd.

yet we have democratic lawmakers who are outraged by the nypd how do you split the difference? >> it's absolutely outray just. a slap in the face men and women who go wear the uniform to protect us and protect them. to be honest has just added on to all the bad, lousy pieces of legislation that these very members pass that strip the powers from the nypd to be able to do their job and make it more difficult they have created anarchy here where they think they can get away with it and quite frankly they are. brian: let the mounted officers get literally get back on their horses. and my goodness, what kind of lesson is it if you are caught robbing a store out in a day 24 hours with these new bail laws. this is a joke. >> look at the crimes eligible

for release without bail. rioting, assault. hitting an individual with your car. robbery, larceny, arson. these crimes -- these policies are the very ones that those legislators voted for and then to hear the governor blaming the nypd that they are not doing a good job after he and the mayor and all these legislators have stripped their ability to enforce the law is completely outrageous and it has to stop. it's being really pushed even further to the left by people like alexandria ocasio-cortez who have infiltrated your new york government and these members are scared. they have primaries coming up the last week of this month, and they are afraid of their own shadow. so they're moving more and more to the left to apease this socialist anarchist base. brian: listen to the state senator, he says i'm donating all my convictions received from police pacs for re-election to bail fund to mutual organizations. i will not accept them going forward. we need to call out injustice. but most of all we must act.

so let's get this straight. it's nypd that's being denied additional funding or donations. they don't want donations from a pac of law enforcement. who do you think is going to bring back order to the streets? them? >> the thing is that the state legislators, as well as our federal representatives, you know, they are all saying the same thing. they all stay quiet when the governor's parole board releases our cop killers. all pushing to release criminals over the age of 50, even if they have been convicted of murder and rape. it's completely outrageous what's happening. and the fact that you have the elected officials that are almost encouraging these criminal acts because, hey, if you get arrested, we will come bail you out it. is just, as a new yorker my whole life, it's horrible to see my city being under destruction right now because the -- an elected official are allowing it to happen. as you say, give the nypd the ability to do their job.

the mounted unit, certainly the disorderly conduct unit. they have to give them the tools to be able to do their job effectively. don't let them not do their job and blame them later saying they are not doing a good job of keeping control. brian: commissioner shae can do the job. he has to be empowered to do it. he can't be hamstrung by a terrible mayor and lastly the only reason we don't have national guard because president trump wants it. they want the opposite of what president trump wants. and we all pay the price. thanks, nicole. appreciate it. >> thank you. brian: governor andrew cuomo slamming the police and mayor or looting in new york city. >> the nypd and mayor did not do their job. do what have you done in the past. you know how you stopped looting in the past? do that again. brian: yeah. because he has no idea. just do that again. he has no responsibility either. does he? on anything. our police panel weighs in next.

steve: if you are getting up right now. very different scene in new york city as road blocks and curfews appears to work against the looting and violent protesters. new york city police department arrested over 700 rioters. they won't be staying behind bars for long. police telling fox news most are released without bail because of the city's recent bail reform laws. here to weigh in we have a police panel. former new york city police department detective dr. oscar odom. former new york city police department officer lamont johnson and retired new york city police lieutenant joe cardinale: >> good morning. steve: interesting to figure out 700 people arrested for looting and then they get to the police

station essentially they get booked and they say okay we can't hold you though. go about your business. it would be interesting to figure out, dr. odom, how many of those people went out and wengtsd back to looting and then wound up getting rearrested. >> >> probably 99.99%. but disheartened [inaudible] police department go out there and put their lines on the line to protect. i stated earlier over 700 of us. over 150 people injured out there. will will will will hit with a brick. talking about strength, respect, recalling protest. the nypd is at the highest level of doing that still, i don't see anyone jumping up and down saying look what happened to the officers. look what happened there. you are saying leading. lead by example. pick up a weapon and take a post. come out there and stand out there with us. be your constituents. show us what they are doing. see what happens when you get

out there. steve: lamont, what do you think? >> first, i want to say i think new york city has the best police department in the entire united states. i think they are being held back administration that doesn't allow them to react in the way that they should. steve: joe, what about you? when you see, this essentially people are arrested for looting or violence and then they are immediately released. this is great if you are in the law breaking business. >> wonderful, you know, steve i had the privilege of serving under mayor rudy giuliani when the change came. everybody respected him he was fair across the board. he will didn't see color. he didn't see the blue uniform. fair across the board. everything has changed. the new police commissioners are at the becke beckon call of the.

cuomo is just as guilty. he can push all the blame he wants. you know, mr. governor, come on down to new york city and see what is the crown jewel of law enforcement. the nypd and how they do their job walk the streets the way mayor giuliani did. the president even came out and walked the streets. come out and see first hand what the men and women in the new york city police department have to put up with to protect your state. steve: exactly. we are looking at the video. mayor cuomo took a shot at the mayor of new york city and police yesterday saying they didn't do their jobs. here is the governor. >> the nypd and the mayor did not do their job last night. i believe that the police must stop looting and criminal

activity. that is the essence of the police force. they are supposed to protect the community, protect the property. steve: dr. odom, you know, the police force is about 40,000. they have only had a fraction of that number out on the streets. at a time when you would think it would be all hands on deck. >> absolutely. all officers should have been deployed to the streets. nevertheless though. the few that were out there were doing a fantastic job, respecting people's constitutional rights and making a lot of arrests but the thing is, after you make those arrests, and then they come back out then the possibilities [inaudible] don't blame the nypd for that the nypd is the best police department in borough. that's why when there are problems across the country they call the nypd to come out there. it's not the nypd. speak about the leadership

above. steve: yeah, lamont, when you worked in the police department during the rudy giuliani administration, you say this never would have happened when rudy was mayor. explain. >> this never would have happened when a certain atmosphere of law and order when the rudy giuliani administration was. in this never would have happened. the police officers would have known the mayor would have had their back and they would have did their best. they would have been out there and prevented these crimes. there would not be this amount of looting and lawlessness going on. steve: joe. a moment ago you kind of touched on it how in this particular city, you know, progressive policies are impacting policing. explain. >> you know, it's easy -- let me give an example. commissioner bratton under mayor giuliani was totally different than commissioner bratton underneath de blasio.

and you can see the difference in politics and the -- and what goes on behind closed doors. this mayor tells the police commissioner whether a to do. you answered your question before, steve. the reason why the police weren't out there is because they were told don't -- this is how many people i want out there. i don't want arrests. i don't want this. when you are being told this is what has to be done. then that's what you follow orders, right? and as far as the governor, let me explain something else. he had no problems sends the state police down to do traffic enforcement along avenue. send them down and do it. all right? why -- if he was so concerned about the way the city is being handled. why didn't he send the state police to help out because it's a blame game with him. he blames the president. he blames the mayor. he blames everybody and he never accepts responsibility himself. and, believe me, the state police will do anything to help out anybody else in law enforcement. right in but it's at his discretion what he wants to do at his given time. all right. and this is what is wrong with

the state. this is what is wrong with the country. this is what is wrong with the city. all right? too many people are telling the people that know what to do how to do it and they just have to take the reins off of them and let them do their jobs. let us do our jobs. steve: all right, joe. thank you so much. that's why people watching in on what's happening on the streets of big cities. why aren't the police moving in and arrested anybody? maybe it has to do with what you were just speaking of. joe, thank you very much. lamont and dr. odom as well. thank you for getting up with us on this wednesday, june 3rd. >> thank you. >> thank you. steve: all right, guys. thank you. you bet. 14 minutes now before the top of the hour it. is a busy morning in the newsroom and that's where we find jillian. jillian: that's right. good morning steve, good morning to you at home. we begin with this: the driver of a suv who ran through the crowd of a police officers is set to be arraigned today.

the horrifying incident caught on on video in buffalo, new york. the suv rolling through intersection where police gathered during a protest. three officers were hurt. the driver deanna davis was shot by police and hospitalized. her family says she panicked after hearing other nearby gunshots. davis is out of the hospital and charged with aggravated assault. alabama's attorney general is suing the city of birmingham for removing a confederate monument. steve marshall says the city violated state law when taking down the confederate soldiers and sailors monument dedicated in 1905. rioters were seen vandalizing the monument over the weekend. the mayor says he removed it because civil penalty cost less than civil unrest. fuller house reveals why aunt becky has been mia from the show. >> maybe you should run this by aunt becky? >> >> aunt becky is in nebraska helping out her mother. i don't want to bother her with a tiny little thing like this,

right, tommy. >> right. >> addressing shoat by writing off character. the actress and her husband both pleading guilty for their roles in the college admission scandal. they are set to be sentenced in august. a world war ii flag taken when reno city hall ransacked is returned it. came from the uss battle ship. get this the reason for its disappearance saturday night is actually pretty amazing. the personal who returned it left a note saying it needed to be protected because looters were burning flags. the riot stemming from a protest over the death of george floyd. a city spokesman says the flawg will eventually be put back on display. a look at your headlines. send it back to you. steve: put back on display when it is safer. jillian, thank you very much. meanwhile, president trump and the first lady paying visits to historical christian sites yesterday as the nation reels from violence and unrest. jonathan morris on how faith can help unite all of us coming up

steve: president trump and the first lady paying a visit to the national shrine honoring st. john paul ii in washington, d.c. yesterday. brian. brian: this coming just a day

after he viewed the damage caused by rioters st. john's episcopal church. ainsley: here with the meaning behind these visits amid the unrest fox news contributor and theologian jonathan morris. good morning, jonathan. >> hey, ainsley. ainsley: tell us about the meaning of that visit and when he held that up bible in front of the church. >> yeah. i have been shocked by so many commentators who have said basically by holding up a bible going to visit a shrine that there is somehow this is blasphemy that this is evil. that is purely political. listen, i don't know the intention. i can't get into the heart and mind of the president, but, and i think it could have been better produced, better choreographed and gte into that in a minute. but the idea of a president holding a bible hopefully being an image and i can assume nothing else. god is going to be with us in these times or going to visit the great john paul ii who stood up for his country of poland

against communism, saying nothing can defeat us no matter what the evil forces may be in this world, so i do think the message should have been communicated better. i think it could have been choreographed a lot better. steve: jonathan, apparently that particular visit to the john paul ii shrine had been scheduled, had been on the books for a while, supposed to address religious liberties internationally. but, after the president and the first lady went, then apparently the archbishop of washington said i find it baffling and reprehensible that any catholic facility would allow itself to be so egregiously misused and manipulated. what do you think about the what archbishop had to say? >> what i think about it is presumed the intention of the president wag wrong with nittany lion tent of creating a message of religious freedom. think aboutdown paul ii.

here, together with commune atheism brought down the wall. this was the 100th anniversary of his birth. just yesterday, actually, steve, just yesterday was the anniversary of him going back to poland as pope and doing that nine-day visit throughout the country which the kgb later said was the reason why communism was falling, so i think the message could have been stronger though. i wish whoever was in charge of getting that message out could have said i'm going to visit this shrine at this time. yes it was previously planned. what an example john paul ii was for us today in these times. because i'm afraid the democrats are really hijacking every single moral argument that there is in this country right now. brian: right. here is what the critics this

archbishop said i find it baffling that any catholic facility would allow itself to be misused and manipulated. what is he looking at? what is with him? egregiously manipulated? he said it was previously done. i mean, at least say look at the tension being catholic church and former pope. >> using religious octobers or visits as a prop would be even. steve: all right. jonathan thank you very much. we are going to step aside. straight ahead we have mike huckabee and lawrence jones joining us shortly. this is my body of proof.

proof i can fight moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. proof i can fight psoriatic arthritis... ...with humira. proof of less joint pain... ...and clearer skin in psa. humira targets and blocks a source of inflammation that contributes to joint pain and irreversible damage. humira can lower your ability to fight infections. serious and sometimes fatal infections, including tuberculosis, and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. humira is proven to help stop further joint damage.

want more proof? ask your rheumatologist about humira citrate-free. if you can't afford your medicine, abbvie may be able to help. [chanting] defund the police. ainsley: we begin with a fox news alert. tensions running high across america as protests rage on and anger mounts against the police for the 8th straight day. this was the scene in boston overnight. >> as they fire off some fireworks. meanwhile in los angeles. dozens of arrests as darkness fell and people defied the curfew a tense scene in portland as police had to release pepper spray because the crowd was not following instructions.

brian: meanwhile tragedy. a 77-year-old retired officer david done guard ago pawnshop was shot and killed yesterday, anxiously. >> so horrific and some areas are seeing relief which is a good thing this morning. including right here in new york city. road blocks and armed officers keeping looters at bay so peaceful protests can continue. aishah has any on a site looks like a prison with prison wire aaround sak's fifth avenue. >> definitely nothing i have ever seen before. new yorkers are waking up this wednesday morning to pretty incredible site. plywood and wrapped in razor

wire. this is privately hired security by sak's. apparently they have been here all night long. this razor wire, this plywood all went up yesterday afternoon and i'm told that there were dogs here pit bulls, german sherptiondz. can you tell us if you saw any looters or anybody that tried to mess with you last night? we're getting no, they are not going to talk. private security hired by sak's and raiser wire. i have never seen anything like it. comes just 24 hours after we saw macy's. the flagship macy's store at harold's square not far from here looted about a day ago. i want to show you video from that. and stores learning a very hard lesson here that the plywood

that we're seeing stores put up it's not working. they are able to rhythm i relatt ofrip it off.jump on top of thed use body weight to rip it off. fortunately we didn't see much looting here in manhattan last night. it could be due to the curfew and due to newly established checkpoints all across parts of manhattan. overall, a much more peaceful situation than the last two nights. so we did see plenty of protesters though, thousands of people, protesters, continuing to demonstrate yesterday. even marching to mayor bill de blasio wants residence and march to trump tower. but, there were some protesters that did defy new york city's 8:00 p.m. curfew. some were arrested because of that. at one point protesters were stuck on the manhattan bridge. they were blocked on both sides for over an hour. protesters calling for de blasio

now to resign. meanwhile as i mentioned. looting continued on a smaller area. cut off near live all traffic. governor cuomo has been calling out the mayor for not using more police presence. listen to. this police in new york city were not effective at doing their job last night period. >> tell andrew cuomo to get out on the streets with us. take a look at the cops that are out there. cops that are bleeding to keep the city -- >> again, steve, brian and ainsley. this is where tourists come to new york city and they look around. they shop and they take pictures outside of them. this is iconic location. and for the first time that i can remember, new yorkers are going to wake up today, walk

past this building and like you said, it looks like a prison right in the correct of management, steve, brian, ainsley? brian: all right, anxiously. thanks so much. that's what happened at sak's fifth avenue. the mayor won't put enough cops on to keep the city safe until last night. governor mike huckabee joins us right now. fox news contributor, former governor of arkansas. governor, the first thing that comes to mind is to watch andrew cuomo sit there, again, i'm not responsible for the nursing home deaths. i'm not responsible for the number of cases. i'm not responsible for not having ppe. i'm not responsible for the chaos in manhattan, everybody else's faulted except his. i'm not a fan of the mayor, but as a governor don't you have the responsibility to take some responsibility? >> you absolutely do. the governor can decide he wants to put the national guard in new york city. there is not a whole lot the mayor can do about it other than

just complain. at some point have to be a real understanding that the purpose for which people are elected is to keep order. to make sure that there is some stability within the social contract of people one thing government has to do not get job and balance the economy. is making it so that the ordinary people walking up and down the sidewalk can do so and can do it with life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. we have no other function to have a government other than that. ainsley: governor cuomo is blaming the mayor. the mayor is saying we are not accepting the president's invitation to send in the national guard. listen to this. >> we do not need nor do we think it's wise for the national guard to be in new york city. nor any armed forces. so far, thank god we have not had a loss of life in these last five days. but you bring outside armed

forces into the equation that they are not trained for, people could be very, very unnerved by the dynamics that our police officers have learned to work with and deal with, that is a dangerous scenario. i just want to put down the marker. the national guard should not be brought here. ainsley: governor, brian asked one of our officers in minneapolis why are their peaceful protests there. not as much looting and rioting there. how are you able to control it? his answer was local law enforcement is working with the national guard. why won't some of these mayors, governors, invite the national guard to come in just to help? >> it makes no sense to me. by the way, de blasio is totally off his cracker when he says that the national guard is not trained for that yes, they are. that's exactly what they are trained for. and they are carefully trained. steve: of course. >> and they though how to get into these situations and handle them.

his ignorance of that is stunning to me. >> governor, when you look at these images and try to figure out where do we go from here how do we bring everybody together. it's hard to do that when there are nationwide riots. it seemed like last night things calmed down a little bit. but the underlying issue of police brutality remains. and we need to have a national dialogue. and i would not be surprised, you know, as we try to come together. i wouldn't be surprised if the white house tries to do some sort of a summit where they bring in leaders from faith community and show business and the world of sports and business and the community to have a dialogue about where we go from here regards no just race relations but police brutality because so many people are hurting. it would be great if you brought all those people in and you read

the president's twitter feed. obviously he is trying to find a solution. it would be great if they put it on tv. so we could all watch, all these people from across the country give their good ideas. >> i think that's an important point. i would suggest, steve there needs to be that public forum and there also needs behind closed doors a real honest assessment. one thing that i would hope people would start realizing. this is not a political divide this is a spiritual divide. this isn't so much a sin problem. it'skin problem it's a sin prob. people think they're better than others. if you have cops who don't understand their authority is related to the law and you have a guy who puts his knee on a guy's neck and kills him. that's a sin problem. if you have people who take to the streets and they think that they have a right to steal other people's property, indiscriminately whether the property is owned by blacks or whites, that's a sin problem. we have got to get to the root

of this and for that we need leadership that recognizes that mothers and fathers need to raise children who respect authority. who respect other people's property. who quite frankly respect themselves and have some sense of understanding this country could fall apart if people don't self-governor. the ultimate governor nafns the united states is not the federal, the state, or the local. it's self governing. it's when people believe that doing the right thing is the right thing. it's simply. this love thy neighbor as thyself. do unto others as you would have them do unto you. and somewhere along the way we have lost that mantra. it hasn't been taught and when you see people out there throwing bricks, trying to injure and hurt cops. when you see people stealing and looting louie vitton bags and they pretend it's all about police brutality. it isn't. it's about their selfish behavior and somewhere we have

got to address that issue more than just simply say we have to look at police techniques. brian: that's what joe biden wants to do. came to that conclusion after 40 years in washington. meanwhile, yesterday afternoon, the president of the united states made it clear he has had it with waiting for the north carolina democratic governor to commit to a full blown convention in august. and he tweeted this out. and i'm not going to read the whole thing but essentially tweeted out he is going to start looking for another city to go to. they have been playing this for two years in north carolina. the republicans need north carolina and the president needs north carolina. is there a danger in pulling out of there does he have a choice? >> he has to have the cooperation of the governor and the state. that's important. but if he does pull out. i think logistically to move the convention this close to the time it's going to be tough to find a host city unless the

convention is dramatically scaled back. just the level of security put in place for something of a convention. there are police officers brought from basically 50 states, to help stage a political convention. all of you have been to them. you know how tightly controlled the whole situation is. but, to be able to get the hotel rooms, the transportation to from the facility, provide the security, it's an enormous task to do that and it takes years of planning. if there is going to be a change, i would think that we're going to see a very limited kind of convention that would probably be limited just to the delegates themselves and maybe a handful of others. ainsley: how will they be able to do that do you think? because when we went to the convention in 2016, it was -- people were shoulder to shoulder out on the floor, holding their signs for their state. how could you do it with coronavirus, people don't want to get on airplanes.

a lot of people especially new yorkers. what do you envision? >> i don't think you could have the typical convention. there is no way. first of all, could you even get a facility that you could block off for several weeks in advance of it to get your staging set and all of the details of just putting the event together. could you get the hotel rooms? could you line up the transportation? could you bring in the security? i think it would be a very minimalist convention if it does, in fact, get moved. let's hope that the governor of north carolina realizes that it would be a stain on his governorship and his state for him to pull the plug on the opposing party's convention. it would look horrible on his part to do it. and, if he does, and tries to say that he is going to make a decision as a democrat, as to how the republicans conduct their business, it will come back to bite the entire democrat party because it's going to look really like it was retribution. like it was an attempt to

control. that's not how we do business in america. steve: well, let's hope they come up with some sort of creative solution to avoid that mike huckabee joining us from down in florida. governor, thank you very much. >> thank you. steve: all right. meanwhile, back to our world headquarters. jillian has got the news. jillian: that's right. good morning. we again with a fox news alert now. overnight an alabama police officer is shot and killed responding to a call at a super 8 motel. sergeant steven williams was a 23 year law enforcement veteran recently promoted to sergeant of the moody police department. he leaves behind a wife and three sons. two suspects are in custody. nine term iowa congressman steve king is out. king defeat in the gop primary by steve. he came under fire for extreme views and comments. ronna mcdaniel tweeting, quote: steve king's white

steve: law enforcement has been a major target of attacks the last week. some altercations have been deadly. in a new op-ed, our next guest says good policing saves black lives and scapegoat law enforcement is the wrong move. that's in the "wall street journal." here now fox news contributor jason riley who wrote that op-ed. jason, a lot of your op-ed has

to do with the findings of a harvard communist who has looked trouble. >> harvard a harvard economist. just released a study that shows -- forthcoming paper not out yet. it shows that there is a pattern involved here. you have an incident like a freddie gray in baltimore. michael brown in ferguson. will he quan mcdonald in chicago gets a lot of media attention. then an investigation is launched. not just of the officers involved. but of the entire police department. and what happens in the aftermath of that is that police sort of call back. civilians, crime spike. violent crime spike and homicide spike. you see this in city and city. you lose a la kwan freddy gray,

a thousand more people. most of course are black and brown people because the entire department has been smeared over the acts of individual officers. so i think we need to be very careful how we go about investigating what happens to people like george floyd in a way that doesn't smear entire police department, lead to worse outcomes for these communities that need policing the most. >> sure. and we are familiar with that idea, that notion, it's the so-called ferguson effect. an ugly event, obviously policing seems to go the wrong direction. you also mentioned freddie gray back in 2015. when you look at the crime rate in baltimore, it's shocking. after that. shootings went up 140% and homicides 90%. but, janch, to your point just a moment ago. and there is that graphic right there, you know, police department -- after something bad happenings.

there needs to be an investigation but you say investigate the bad actor, don't investigate the entire department. >> yes. yes. i think that's one way to go. another thing we might do is to let the local investigation run its course for the feds swoop in with their piggy back investigations. i think that, too can cause a lot of resentment among the officers in the departments in these various cities that might help as well. but, the bigger picture is to keep in mind that these incidents are rare. they are not commonplace. we have social media now and it's sort of plays them up and you get all of this lengthy coverage of these incident. give the impression that they're happening more often. but the data does not support that. police encounters with black suspects that end badly like they did in george floyd's case are not only rare. they have been declining for

decades, you know, police shootings in new york city. police use of three that force is down 90% since the early 1970s. >> nationwide they are down dramatically as well. police use lethal force less often. and so we need to put this in perspective. and when we do find these encounters, they are driven by crime rates. not by bigotry on the part of cops. if we want to reduce the number of these encounters. we need to look at crime rates. and reduce the crime rates among blacks. because that is what leads to disproportionate encounters with police in the first place. and that doesn't get a lot of attention. steve: a lot to think about right there. all right. jason riley. jason, thank you very much. meanwhile, moving on. small business owners are already struggling because of covid. now many of them are being damaged during the riots.

our next guest has a message for the looters. let us survive. stay with us.

brian: minnesota launches civil rights probe after the death of george floyd.

matt finn is live in minneapolis as the mother of floyd's daughter speaks out for the first time. hey, matt. >> yeah. we're going to hear from that mother in just a moment. but we just want to show you briefly that the national guard presence is still very notable here in minneapolis. and, in fact, the commissioner of this state's public safety department said they are, quote, terribly grateful for the national guard here in this state because their resources allowed local law enforcement to be freed up to be the rapid response here. we want to show you right now these soldiers are helping protect this local corner grocery store because it's one of the few stores remaining in this neighborhood that has not been looted. the national guard is defending this minority owned store so neighbors can get access to food. and, in cities across the country right now, many grocery stores are boarded up to prevent violent looterrer looters or ris getting. in called the food desert or area hard to get access to

groceries. here in minnesota, george floyd's 6-year-old daughter was standing next to her mother at a preference. the mother fightinpress confere. fighting tears as she says her daughter will go through life without her father. [sobbing] i want justice for him because he was good. no matter what anybody thinks. he was good. and this is the proof that he was a good man. >> also here in minnesota the governor now says the department of human rights is filing a charge to launch a civil rights investigation into the minneapolis police department the investigation will review nypd's policies, procedures and practices over the last 10 years to determine if the department has utilized systemic discriminatory practices towards people of color. >> i actually just spoke to the owner who is seated right there. he said to us that he is

thankful for the national guard being here because, quote. they are protecting his business from being lit on fire. brian. brian: yeah, it's unbelievable, matt. they are trained and they are ready and they are active and effective. in new york they are not good new testament incredible. matt finn, thanks so much. ainsley, the ball is yours. ainsley: all right. thank you. in the wake of the chaos. small business owners already struggling with the hardship of the coronavirus. picking up the pieces after looters damaged a strawpghts in denver. pleading to leave her business alone. put up signs minority owned business let us survive and please don't destroy our restaurant. joining us now is the owner. psaki. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. ainsley: you are welcome. tell us about your restaurant. what the rioters did. >> so, we -- the first thing that we noticed on that night was that our register from the

back was taken on to the street and it was lit on fire. and a little bit after that, our large window panel got shattered. yes. so that's what happened to our restaurant. ainsley: that le led to you putp those signs? >> yes. that's correct. i knew that our window was shattered that night. butten the next day i came in decided that i'm going to clean up to open the store. but i couldn't do it. i just stood there with a broom in my hands and just staring out the window. and i just stood here and cried. yes. that's what i did. this is like [inaudible] that i'm facing the window in front of me.

and, yes. ainsley: you hear these stories and it's heart-breaking. what is your story? what led to you open a students are and how has this affected you? >> i'm originally from japan. i believe in serving good authentic food. it's my passion and we have been doing this for a long time. and our business is still new. we purchased this business last august. and we have been working really hard up to this point. and this last couple months has been really really hard on us simply because we weren't able to open for a little bit. for about a month. and after we opened, i had to limit the number of employees

that i could have inside. the you will [inaudible]. our sales declined over 10% over what we used to be. so we are hoping that this last week was the first week to open dining customer. to say 50% of the capacity we are really hoping this will be our great new start unfortunately since our window is broken, i decide not to do the dining for now until it get repaired. and, yes. that's the way we are right now. and but i have received so many supportive message support from volunteers. our land lord. so we are hoping to get through

this i think yes. ainsley: sacky, thansaki thank r sharing. you want to share your culture with america. we applaud you for that this ♪ american way to vandalize and to destroy someone's livelihood. i understand running a restaurant is 24/7. you devote your entire life to doing that and you wanted to share your culture with your community. what are you going to do to rebuild? are you going to be able to open back up? >> i hope so, yes. i mean, today we are open for takeout only. but, we are still open. and i have employees who are waiting for me to open, you know, back to the normal schedule. so, yes, i need to do. ainsley: you are in denver. what street are you on so folks in your community can come and support you, buy your food, eat your food and put money in your pocket? >> we are located on culfax and

merely. restaurant known as [inaudible] ainsley: saki with q. god bless you had as you reopen. a top democrat caught on a hot mike asking for speaking time at a protest for all the wrong reasons. lawrence jones says this is why people hate politicians. he is going to join us next. vo: we are ready

to serve on the front lines... to fight an invisible enemy with courage and compassion... to comfort and to care, to hope, to press on, to do whatever it takes to beat the odds. we are the men and women of america's hospitals and health systems. and we're here to care for you in every way every day. brian: unbelievable. if i wasn't be primaried i wouldn't really have to speak in front of this crowd about race relations.

bring in lawrence jones fox news contributor and fox nation host. lawrence, this is politics at its worst. caught in a real moment on a hot mic again about his remind set. i wouldn't be here if i didn't have to worry about a primary. >> good morning, guys. >> this is the stuff that i hate and we really shouldn't be surprised. he hasn't been in his district for a while this is why i get so upset, guys. these people shouldn't be ha hard to beat, right? they clearly don't care about the community. all we would have to do, as conservatives, is have people down there on the ground at the local level. but we don't show up. guys, literally confessed on tape, he doesn't care about this. it's only because he is in the primary. yet we don't show up. i know the audience is going to say about what about president trump? i'm not talking been 00 national level. i know the talking points about the opportunity zone and

criminal justice reform. you have seen me applaud the president on. but, until we have an on the ground strategy to defeat the death, poverty and destruction of the democratic party on the ground, then we can't win. the politicians are showing themselves for who they are. they don't care about us. ainsley: all right. so his statement, he released a statement after that came out and people were complaining, and he said in the context of running for re-election, i thought it was important for people to know where i stand. that's why i asked to speak. of course, i care deeply about what's happening in this country. that's what i wanted to convey. i would not have tried to impose on the borough president if i didn't think it was important. do you feel differently now after you heard him explain himself? >> no, no. because, guess what, ainsley. this didn't just start happening. everyone. that's the only case. that has americans outraged.

that was a straw that broke the camel's back. the relationship and state abusing its power that's been going on. people have been having conversations about it. steve: going forward, as things kind of died down last night, lawrence, you know, what do we need from our leaders going forward. we were with mike huckabee a little while ago. i said, you know, given the fact. >> did i lose you guys. steve: issue of police brutality remains. did you lose your audio? hello, lawrence? i think we lost lawrence. but, brian and ainsley, i was saying that going forward, you know, and we were talking to mike huckabee a little while ago, there needs to be a national dialogue about where we go from here and we need to hear from the leaders. i know that it wouldn't be surprising if the white house had some sort of a summit

because they do things like that just to bring this all the leaders from show business and entertainment and sports and business to try to figure out how to fix. this. brian: steve, you are right. the problem is we have not been able to talk about george floyd for seven days. we talked and with the issues that led up to it. because we were sitting there trying to hold on to some sense of security in almost every major city in the country. steve: that's right. brian: that's what i found so disheartening about it. your witness. lawrence, got you back now. >> steve: lawrence, we were just talking about. that's okay it. happens. it would be great if the white house had a summit. can't be this week because obviously things have not died down completely yet. we need to hear from business leaders, show business, the world of sports. put all the best minds in america together and figure out where we go from here because

people are frustrated. there needs to be a dialogue. and people need to feel like their leaders are listening. >> yeah. and it's very simple, guys. it doesn't have to be this virtue signaling. it just centers around liberty. and caring about your fellow man. and law and order is very simple. no, you don't loot. you don't take the law into your own hands. but, the state shouldn't be able-to-abuse their power. 40ss of the state when they abuse fellow americans' liberty. they should be held to the fullest extent of the law. we have to apply all things and why people are so frustrated is that you have three officers still sleeping in their bed every night. that is a problem. why people are upset is that innocent cops are being shot in the street at night. so, again, to ease the pain, we have to have complete law and order. but if you see the department in

minneapolis that nonsense report that was given by the autopsy, everyone saw with their own eyes what took place. and the fact that that wasn't applied when they were doing the autopsy and we have an independent person come in and give the autopsy and it literally validates what we all knew, that's a problem. that is a parted of the state and the state not doing its job as well. ainsley: yeah. then there is that saint lewis police captain that was shot as he was trying to stand guard outside of his friend's pawnshop. and the guy who was recording it said, man, y'all did this. y'all did this. y'all took away a grandfather's life. is he probably a grandfather. did you this all for a few tvs. >> you know, guys, real quick. because i know we are out of time. if y'all remember when i first started doing fox, we had a tragedy in dallas, texas. five cops were shot. assassinated. story with the family of the killer. one thing that people never talk

about with that story is that the five cops that were assassinated that day in my hometown, dallas, texas, were leaders in the community. they were for community policing and the people knew them by name. so when this stuff boils over, people end up targeting the good cops. the people that we need on the ground. the people that know the community. we have got to get a hand over this or we are going to lose the country. ainsley: yeah. you are right. thanks so much, lawrence, you always have a good perspective. it's 47 minutes after the top of the hour. hand it over to jillian back in the studio. hey, jillian. jillian: that's right. good morning. six police officers hit with criminal charges after video was released showing them tasing two cleaning students in atlanta. the body camera footage shows the officers pulling the students out of the car while stuck in traffic because of protests last saturday. two of the officers were fired for using excessive force. four others are on administrative leave. the d.a. says all six have until friday to turn themselves.

in. >> the republican national convention could soon be pulled from north carolina. the state will lose quote, millions of dollars in jobs. we are now forced to seek another state to host the 2020 republican national convention. the controversy stemming from the governor to lift covid-19 restrictions in charlotte to allow a full crowd at the event. turning now to extreme weather all eyes on tropical crystal ball. moving along the coast bringing powerful winds and heavy rain. forecasters say the storm could approach the gulf coast between texas and louisiana this weekend it. could strengthen into a hurricane by monday. those are a look at your headlines. send it back to you. brian: quick announcement after our show if it ever ends it is four hours. we will talk to the president of the united states brian kilmeade show:35 eastern time. if you can't get in or have a local affiliate around you go to

brian kilmeade.com or fox news radio app. and you can get the stream. meanwhile, steve, straight up on this show. steve: brian, as miami starts picking up the pieces after violence and looting, its police chief says many of those instigators don't even live there. his warning to the out-of-towners after the break. to release it like it's supposed to. once-weekly trulicity is for type 2 diabetes. it's not insulin. it starts acting from the first dose. and it lowers risk of heart attack, stroke, or death in people with known heart disease or multiple risk factors. trulicity isn't for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. don't take trulicity if you're allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have an allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, changes in vision, or diabetic retinopathy.

serious side effects may include pancreatitis. taking trulicity with sulfonylurea or insulin raises low blood sugar risk. side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, belly pain, and decreased appetite, which lead to dehydration and may worsen kidney problems. we're committed to helping ensure trulicity is available and affordable. learn more at trulicity.com. you know what's good about this? your sign's pointing at my sign, so people are gonna look at my sign. switch to progressive and you can save hundreds. you know, like the sign says.

brian: after a weekend of violence in miami the chief of police say the vast majority of those arrested do not even live in the city. here with an update the chief. last night you had 57 arrested. 44 of those arrested do not live in the city of miami. what does that tell you about the unrest? >> what we already know from across the country that you have a group of individuals that are really the ones that want to create chaos. they are the ones that end up creating that mob mentality that we will see in many places. some of the folks that come out really probably intended to protest peacefully and get caught up in that nonsense. and those people by the way they don't care anything about george floyd or justice. they just want to create destruction and divide us

further. brian: right. have you seen some organizing. you have been able to scoop them up and last night you guys seemed to be on top of this in the big picture. how do you feel about people talking about law enforcement needs to be reformed? that's your job. that's what you do. how do you feel about that? >> i think that's what we have been doing. it doesn't mean that we are perfect. i don't ever remember a time where this many police chiefs, officers, and even unions have come out to say how horrific the video was that we all saw in minneapolis. i mean, i don't think so anybody denies that. but i think it's also horrific that you want to go and target a police officer somewhere and shoot them just because they are out there shootings an there sed protecting. people should be offended by that as well. brian: when we hear movements now, the police are getting too much money. we should put more towards social programs. defund the police. how does that resonate with you? >> i find that and i don't mean

to offend anybody, but i think it's really naive. i mean, the police are needed. we know that the police are needed to protect people from robbers. rapist, murdersers. pedophiles. defund the police or don't have any police, i don't know what people would expect. you see a little bit of what is happening if there isn't enough law and order how cities are destroyed. i don't know how someone could think that defunding police would help the matter. what we need are good policemen and if someone is bad, they need to be removed. if someone broke the law they should be arrested. brian: lastly, how do you explain the success have you had so far with the protesters, allowing them to use their voice but not wreck the infrastructure? >> i think the key has been communicating with the community from day one. please, allow to us protect you while you protest peacefully. don't allow a couple of people to suppress your right to free speech. because when a couple of people take overt action against us. or property.

we then have to move in and disperse that crowd. and we don't want to do it. we want you to protest peacefully. so help us. it shouldn't just be on our shoulders. you do your part as well. thankfully, many have listened. brian: chief, thanks so much. appreciate it. continued success there as we try to move forward a very difficult time in this country. thanks, chief. >> thank you. brian: all right. coming up in the final hour of the show. we have ohio governor mike dewine. is he willing to take the clanks off his state once and for all? after all we are in the midst of this pandemic. and congressman michael waltz of florida. where does he stand right now? ...

>> [chanting] steve: it is 8:00 on wednesday, june 3, 2020 and another hour that starts with another fox news alert, tensions running high across the country as protests continue and anger mounts against the police for an eighth straight day. take a look. this was the scene in boston overnight, brian. brian: yup, in los angeles, dozens of arrests as darkness fell, people defy curfew, tennessee and portland, police unleashed pepper spray but overall better last night than previous nights. ainsley: meanwhile tragedy strike in st. louis. a retired police captain is

killed by looters. he was 77 years old his name is david dorn. he was guarding a pawn shop, his friend owned when he was shot. steve: such a sad story, meanwhile some areas are seeing some relief this morning including in the new york city area. roadblocks and armed officers kept looters at bay. look at that show of force, so peaceful protests could continue brian: we have live team fox coverage griff jenkins is now just about two blocks from the white house but first we got somebody else, don't we, brian? brian: yeah, aishah hasnie is live in midtown manhattan where some stores have gone to drastic measures to keep looters away. they aren't waiting for the nypd to beef up ranks. they did their own security, right, aishah? reporter: that's right, steve, brian, ainsley good morning to you, i'm standing in front of the iconicsachs fifth avenue

store and if you look behind me it is covered in plywood, it is covered in wrap, in razor wire, this is not bashed wire. there's actually small pieces of razors that wrap all the way around this fence and they've got flood lights on scene, giant flood lights and these men that you're seeing right here, men dressed in black wearing masks, this is private security that was hired by sachs. they were here all night last night. they were here watching and guarding the store. they had guard dogs. this is a lot for one store. we haven't seen anything like this across manhattan. we've seen a lot of folks with plywood but obviously we've also seen videos of those looters that not only use crow bars to take off the plywood but sometimes even just jump up on top of the plywood and use their body weight to bring that down, so obviously, they realize that plywood isn't just working by itself and they put the razor wire up and they put the guards

out here and hired that private security. now, this comes obviously not long after the looting that happened at the macy's flagship store at harold square after stores learned the hard way that plywood wasn't working and fortunately, for everyone, last night, not much looting happened and it could be due to the curfew here in new york city and could also have something to do with the checkpoints around different parts of manhattan. overall we saw a much more peaceful night last night than the last two nights which was basically chaos. we also saw plenty of protesting thousands of protesters, peacefully continuing to demonstrate yesterday even march ing to the mayor's residence and to trump tower; however, some of these protester s did defy new york city's 8:00 curfew and some were arrested by the nypd.

now at one point, protesters were stuck on the manhattan bridge blocked off for about an hour, some protesters now calling for mayor deblasio to resign. meanwhile we did see some looting again in parts of manhattan though nothing like we saw the last two nights. that was pretty chaotic. a chaotic scene which is why president trump tweeted, new york new york city call up the national guard. a deadly mistake you made with the nursing homes and here is mayor deblasio on why he will not call the national guard. listen to this. >> we do not need nor do we think it's wise for the national guard to be in new york city, nor any armed forces. you bring outside armed forces into an equation that they are not trained for , that is a

dangerous scenario. reporter: guys i just moved across the street from the sach s store to show you what's happened here at rockefeller plaza, you can see workers are out they've been out for a few minutes now. they're boarding up rockefeller plaza too. they are boarding it up and getting ready because they just don't trust what might happen, even though we didn't see a ton of looters last night, you just never know what the next few nights is going to bring. everybody wants to be ready. steve, brian, ainsley? ainsley: so there are a lot of shops hind aishah and rockefeller center, and next door is st. patrick's cathedral we can hear the bells when you started your segment there maybe hopes and promises for our city that's just been ransacked. thank you so much, aishah. and you know, guys, retail is a big deal. we've been on shutdown for so long, these retail stores are hurting, you know bergdorff's is owned by nieman marcus they filed chapter 11 or bankruptcy last month, the beginning of may

, so these retailers, i don't blame sachs for doing that. let's go to washington, the pentagon moving 1,600 troops near d.c. overnight as protests es ignore leaders. griff: hey, ainsley george george, we had a much calmer quieter night. we're about two blocks up from the white house, you can see it we're on 16th street and what you're looking at here is the combination of some state police from various areas as well as the bureau of prisons , guards that are helping us, the secret service clear this perimeter around lafayette park where a few hours ago they were cleaning the streets and disposing of supplies that protesters had set up with water and milk and other sorts of things. it's just one part of the large law enforcement operation footprint here in d.c. we saw yesterday the lincoln

memorial, large number of national guard troops taken to the steps there, that of course had come after the memorial the historic memorial was desecrated with graffiti. now, the morning here we've not seen any protesters if you're seeing here but if you look down beyond that eight foot fence is where around 12:30 a little after midnight some agitators after a day of mostly peaceful protesting, agitators tried to tear down the fence to scale it and the national guard troops and leon the other side of the fence using pepper spray to get them off the fence. not making any arrests because it didn't come across that way but the situation under hand. we did see a few familiar faces in the protesting yesterday one of which was senator elizabeth warren she was out with her husband and dog calling for an investigation into the president's walk and photo o p at st. john's church. meanwhile, joe biden, former vice president and democratic

pre u.s. ever nominee, taking to the microphone to blast president trump's handling of the nationwide chaos. listen. >> the president of the united states must be part of the solution, not the problem. but this president today is part of the problem and accelerates it. i won't fan the flames of hate. griff: they were learning a few more details about the photo op when the president went over to this church. we've learned that attorney general barr ordered the park was cleared and more importantly we learned talking directly to the u.s. park police that no tear gas in their words, not ours, no tear gas was used. they say that officers employed the use of smoke canisters and pepper balls but no tear gas was used. all this as the pentagon announces that some 1,600 troops have been moved in position to be on heightened status alert to

military bases in the national capitol area. they are not in washington d.c. right now and they are certainly not participating yet in the active support for civilian authority, but can be called to do so if necessary. we understand there should be some more protests we hope they will be peaceful much like yesterday. ainsley, brian, steve? steve: sounds like the troops are waiting for the go sign if needed. griff thank you very much. let's bring in the governor of the great state of ohio, mike de wine. governor good morning to you. good morning, good to be back, thank you. steve: it's good to have you. a couple of nights ago apparently the white house asked the commonwealth of virginia and the governor to send three to 5,000 members of the national guard from virginia to washington and the governor declined for a variety of reasons. you, however, did take the invitation and you've sent some national guard to

washington, right? >> we have 100 members of our ohio national guard who are now in washington d.c., and that was a direct request of the secretary of defense, and so we felt that we could spare them we have national guard now in columbus, national guard in cleveland and we were happy to do this. brian: you have a protest reportedly cleveland, columbus and cincinnati. governor, what's your approach to this and have you seen the difference between the looters and the protesters, have you seen what new york has witnessed and that is an organized riot as opposed to the protests who want to make america better? >> well we're working very closely with our mayors and our local chiefs of police trying to give them the help from our national guard where they request it as well as our ohio

state highway patrol but there is a difference. the vast majority of protesters want to protest. they want to make a point. they want to talk about justice, and we welcome that. what we have seen though is the hijacking, i think, i'd use the term, the hijacking of these messages, these very legitimate messages by people who want to reek havoc and violence as well as the looters, and so it's a small group of people, but they are there, and they have caused some real problems. in the last several days, things have been relatively calm. i think in columbus, as well as cleveland, have the national guard there to back up the police has been good and by and large i think the police have been doing a good job but yes, there's a very difference between the protester who wants to say look we've got a problem here i want to talk about it that we welcome, and

these people who really just kind of want to tear everything down. ainsley: so governor let's talk about the convention at the end of august, last week of august, supposed to be in north carolina , the president said to that governor, i give you one week to let me know if we can do this thing and today is the deadline, so the president has tweeted out saying that he's looking for a different state, hoping that he said i love the people of north carolina but we need to be able to have a convention. if he chose ohio, would you all be able to do this? >> i don't know. these mass gatherings are kind of the last things to come together and a mass gathering inside is frankly the thing that would scare us the most simply about the spread of the virus. the virus is still very very much here, so i don't know whetherrer we will be several months from now, but this would not be something that we think that we would volunteer

to do. these mass gatherings are just a real problem particularly those that are inside. the virus is still here. we have flattened the curve, our hospital admissions are something we look at every single day. these numbers are fairly flat but they're not going down so we've reached a plateau so we're opening up ohio, basically all open and because we think we can do two things at once. we can protect the community but also at the same time, we have to move forward economically. steve: right, my sister lives in ohio. she said you guys for the most part are wide open and that is great but governor when you look at places like new york, the area where we are, you know, new york city still has not even entered phase i i think it's going to be another five days. i'm in new jersey where it looks like it's going to be about another 10 days before they

start to allow restaurants to have outside dining. do you see as a governor of a great state of ohio, do you see a political component to the rate at which some governors are reopening or does this have to do with the data and science and the unknown? >> well the governors i've talked to, i think it really focused on the data and focused on their state, and every states different and it's hard to compare one state to another. i mean, i know what my data is in ohio because i look at it every single day and we tried to make these decisions based on science, and we've taken the attitude that it's not a question of either/or . it's not a question of do we bring the economy back or do we keep people safe. we think these two are linked very very closely and frankly if we don't keep people safe, if we don't keep the curve flat it'll be hard to bring the economy back because it's not the orders that we issue at this point. virtually everything is open.

it's people's public confidence and there's the consumer confidence that they can go to a restaurant or that they can go and go to a jewelry store and somewhere else so those two are linked together, and that's how we approach it. brian: right you got to understand the business too. give me a chance at not dying. a gym, a card store, a florist, a sports store. in new york they were being held hostage by people with some metrics and their out of business license and their life but governor the mayor of new york city said the national guard is not trained to respond to situations like this. you are using the national guard are they trained to respond to situations like this? >> well i don't know about new york's national guard but i can tell you that we have component parts of our guard that are very trained for this , and again, the way we use the guard, we use it under basic the leadership is

with the city. the leadership is with columbus, the leadership is with cleveland and their police department. we're there to help, we're there to back them up, and one of the things that you find is when these things go on day after day after day, and you've got officers out there 16 hours a day, you've got officers who are very very very tired and that's not good, so having our guard there that can kind of not take over but fill in is how we've used our guard, so our guard is prepared to do this but they do go in as secondary role and they go under basically under the leadership of that local community at least that's how we do it in ohio. ainsley: governor thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. good to be with you again. ainsley: good to see you let's hand it over to jillian back in the studios. jillian: that's right good morning and we begin with a fox news alert. minnesota launches a civil

rights probe into the minneapolis police department after the death of george floyd. the department of human rights investigation set to review the department's practices and procedures over the past 10 years to determine if there was any discriminatory practices towards people of color. it comes as the mother of floyd 's daughter speaks out for the first time. >> it's my baby and i'm here for george because i want justice for him and this is the proof that he was a good man jillian: flood's daughter seen by her side a private memorial service will be held for floyd in minneapolis tomorrow. >> former deputy attorney general rod rosenstein en stein is headed to capitol hill today to testify on the origins of the russia probe he will be the first witness of a new senate judiciary committee investigation. rosenstein pointed robert mueller as special counsel and oversaw the probe after former attorney general jeff sessions

recused himself. you can watch his testimony live at 10 a.m. eastern on the fox news channel. >> nine-term iowa congressman steve king is out. king defeated in the gop primary overnight by state senator randy feinstrop. king has come under fire recently for his extreme views and comments and rnc chairman tweeting, "steve king's white supremacist rhetoric is totally inconsistent with the republican party and i'm glad iowa republicans rejected him at the bat local box." >> overnight a historic win in ferguson, missouri, council woman ella jones becoming the first african american elected as mayor and also the first woman to win the office. the result comes nearly six years after protest rocked the city over the deadly police shooting of unarmed black teenager michael brown. those are a look at your headlines i'll send it back to you. steve: jillian, thank you very much. meanwhile, something we've been talking about this morning, the national guard deploying thousands of members to help

control riots across the country congressman michael waltz is a national guard colonel and he says they are fully prepared for this. he's up, next.

brian: here we go fox news alert the national guard expanding its presence now deploying across 28 states and washington d.c. this all to support local law enforcement, amid nationwide unrest, so what will they, what role will they play to maintain civility? florida congressman michael waltz is a colonel in the national guard and also serves as a green beret, and was an assistant with former vice president cheney. so you actually understand what it's like fighting overseas and also standing up here. what is your role, michael waltz

>> yeah, thank, brian. yeah, i'm still serving as a colonel in the national guard i'll actually be in uniform this weekend in a planning role not necessarily on the front lines of these riots but the guard, it's important to understand the guard works for the governors. they will deploy and support much like our mission to support border security. they will deploy and support of law enforcement to free up law enforcement with logistics, transportation and other tasks so that law enforcement can be out on the frontline. that's the way it should work. the problem is many mayors and some governors are tying law enforcement's hands and not letting them do the hand they need to do to restore law and order in this country, and i think the president's message to the governors and mayors is that if you're not going to do the job, if you're not going to step up, he will and he will have to and he does have the authority to federalize the national guard and then also send inactive duty troops.

look, brian, the rest of america has rights too. we all support the right to peaceful protest, but this rioting, looting, and violence has got to stop one way or another. brian: mayor deblasio has an opportunity to implement his national guard, but he says that's dangerous. listen. >> no. we do not need nor do we think it's wise for the national guard to be in new york city. when outside armed forces go into communities, no good comes of it. a member of the guard called up from any part of this state doesn't have that particular training, doesn't know our environment, but is carrying a loaded weapon. that is a dangerous scenario. brian: congressman, your witness? >> brian that statement from mayor deblasio is ignorant and it's wrong. number one, it perpetuates some

kind of stereotype that these are a bunch of war mongers with machine guns coming from the outside. that's not the case. the thing with the national guard is they're from the communities. they have day job, civilian jobs in those communities. there was a famous incident in the baltimore riots where a rioter was yelling at a guards men go home and he said i am home. i live right here. number two, many of these guard units are military police units that actually normally do policing duties on bases, they are absolutely trained for it. we also have civil affairs units we train as a force for hurricanes, wildfire, natural disasters. it's an integral part of what the guard trains for , so that is you could tell he's never served. that is just a wrong and ignorant statement and finally, brian i do want to give a shout out to the guard who are at large. they still have 40,000 soldiers with ongoing covid support. they now have 20,000 doing the

support to quell these riots and then we still have international missions and the overseas missions that they're on rotation to do, so this is a huge stress on the force, but they will step up and do the job. brian: and not complain and get this. they encourage people to protest these governors they tell the guard to serve, but you can't go to a hair salon, you can't get a hair cut, you can't buy a greeting card, because it's too dangerous, because of the pandemic we're in. somebody has got to get their story straight, because the economies not going to survive and we're going to have more civil unrest than we can handle. michael thank you for what you continue to do for the country appreciate it. >> thanks brian. brian: thanks, congressman and colonel. minneapolis coming together after days of destructive riots. one war veteran has raised nearly $50,000 to help the community recover. he'll join us next. the sleep number 360 smart bed is on sale now.

for turning point usa and he joins us alongside roxanne mcdavid a volunteer and member of the new creation baptist church good morning to you, rob. >> good morning, ainsley how are you? ainsley: good morning i'm great. i'm just so touched by your story and good morning to you, roxanne. i'll start with you rob tell us what you're doing. >> okay, so friday, i saw all the images that were coming across the country i felt absolutely hopeless and helpless and i thought what could i do? i made a video and put it on all my social media channels that rob took online. i just wanted people to help come together to donate to help the minneapolis community. the goal started at $10,000 and it kept on going and going and we have raised over $50,000 and it's still going. so that's what i wanted to do to help, and i'm so amazed at all my wonderful followers and fans we call them soldiers that they were able to help us bring this change to minneapolis.

ainsley: yeah i think it's important because we focus so much on the rioting. to focus on these good stories. how do you want to honor the life of george floyd? >> well i want to honor the life of george floyd but first of all i met roxanne and roxanne tell them about what you're doing in the community? >> we've been ought out here for the last seven days and basically we're giving back to the community. a lot of stores are closed and people don't have food, diapers, it's a lot of things they don't have so we're out here trying to make sure they can get everything they need, so we are taking donations to make sure they get everything that they need. >> and speaking of donation, ainsley i was so touched by what roxanne is doing and everybody that donates to the gofundme would agree that i wanted to donate $10,000 to help support your work and everything that you're doing. so i wanted to do that for you. there's a coalition of four churches that roxanne is doing to help feed the community and i

want to donate $10,000 of that gofundme to you guys to help you >> thank you, thank you, thank you. >> absolutely. and ainsley i also wanted to say i sent some photos out yesterday of lake street in minneapolis which was the hub which is completely disit mated. you have to be there to really sense the devastation that is going on and i wanted to announced to and i wanted people to keep on donating to the gofundme that the rest of the money in the gofundme will go to the lake street council which is a 501 c-3 non-profit meant to provide direct assistance to all of the small businesses that were effected by what was going on on lake street ainsley: rob you were just such a sweetheart to do that that is so nice and you're not even from that area. >> thank you so much, ainsley, and thank you to every single person that donated to this gofundme. ainsley: what is your gofundme page, rob? >> the gofundme, so you can find it linked to all of my

social media handles. twitter, facebook and instagram @robsmith online. if you go to those social media handles the gofundme will be linked right there and you can find it and we can go and help support bringing minneapolis back and helping support the people. ainsley: well, i know roxanne, she's a member of one of the churches there are four churches that have come together to give all of these supplies to people in that community that are hurting. is there a way of we want to donate to her too would you ask her? >> yes, so roxanne, tell them the churches that you're affiliated with so that people know they can donate. you just tell them. >> i'm affiliated with new creation baptist church, 1,414 east 14th street and god revelations baptist church. ainsley: okay, now, rob? thank you so much. rob, thank you again, tell the ladies give them a big hug

from all of us here at fox. we just support them in their community and we do want to remember the life of george floyd. god bless you all. >> we do want to honor the life of george floyd and thank you so much ainsley and fox & friends for helping spotlight this. ainsley: you're welcome, thank you. 36 minutes after the top of the hour. governor andrew cuomo slamming the mayor and the police for the chaos in new york city. >> they are supposed to protect the community, protect the property. they did not do that in new york city. look at the videos. it was a disgrace. ainsley: tammy bruce says if the governor wants to blame someone, he should look in the mirror and she is on deck. effortless is the lincoln way. so as you head back out on the road, we'll be doing what we do best. providing some calm amidst the chaos. with virtual, real-time tours of our vehicles as well as remote purchasing.

>> the police of new york city were not effective at doing their job last night.

you have 38,000 nypd people. use 38,000 people and protect property. protect property and people. look at the videos. it was a disgrace. i believe that. i believe the mayor underestimates the scope of the problem. steve: so after governor cuomo said that yesterday, he realized he had made a big mistake and called the chief and called the commissioner to apologize. let's bring in tammy bruce fox news contributor fox nation host as well. so tammy, he apologized to the police for saying that they were ineffective on the night of the rampaging however he did not , we don't think, apologize to the mayor. >> yes, and of course, that is

the kind of conversation you have when you're going to complain. you have that privately. steve, what do you think everybody was listening to that. he was telling every thug within earshot of television that new york is not ready for you and he does this in the day on television when that is a conversation you have on the phone with someone you're trying to negotiate with. this is why we're looking at like a school yard fight with two politicians both cuomo andde blasio who view this as a video game and i have stayed in manhattan. i'm seeing it every day and there was still mayhem last night and chaos and cuomo doesn't address this no bail policy from albany, not new york city, that tells you if you get

arrested you'll be released within hours. no one has made an effort reverse that statewide policy that encourages bad actors to engage in this as though there's knowing to be no real re percussion and at this point in all honesty, he is the problem. the fact that he's engaging this in public, that there's still no solution, tells people everywhere in the state of new york, where there's looting including in rochester where you saw that horrible attack on that woman and her husband defending a jewelry store, it's a statewide, it is in new york city, it is liberal leadership or lack thereof, that also has contributed to the absurdity of the pandemic, thank god, steve and everybody that this didn't happen in the midst of the pandemic when 20% of the new york police department uniformed officers were out sick, imagine an nypd with that number of individuals not available. brian: yeah, 700 arrests and look at all of the attacks they've been under, the amount of attacks we watched one in the

streets, you see a man actually get tackled from behind and active shooter and law enforcement in st. louis and he four shot maybe a fifth, buffalo saw somebody run over, 132 officers were injured in chicago , and an active shooter opened fire in oakland, two rich land officers were shot in virginia that's what these cops are doing on a daily basis and they have been villified, people talk about reforming and they don't talk about the risks they take just surviving and on top of that, the mayor and governor are getting a pass. they hate each other and we're paying the price in this region. >> that's right. brian: one says wear a mask the other doesn't, one says school shuts down the other doesn't. one says we're in a lockdown the other says we're not there yet and they continue and we're looking around saying when are you opening up this place, they need tracers and a few more hospital beds and because of that, no gyms, no restaurants no

florists. >> it's an excuse and if they care about the lives of people of color, you're looking at for the people even though they aren't going to stay in jail they have a record. you're arrested for looting. they are telling young people of color, white, different you know ages, that moving through a criminal framework isa-okay. those lives are going to be destroyed because it's like well this was easy. and then you get into a different kind of group of a gang and it continues on. this is a condemnation of those people of color that they say think care so much about this pandering individuals and the economy now. you talk about they've been out of work. the trump economy, we were getting rid of that gap when it came to employment between young black men and white men that we moved that income gap down that wages had gone up and all of this is going to compound that problem as businesses don't

reopen and people are afraid to go out. this is new york city's contribution to the nature of race relations in this country and it is a disaster and these kinds of liberals whoplacate and pander to certain individuals while on the other hand stabbing them in the back this has got to end. those whether it's george floyd or young people or individuals all of americans who care about the quality of life in the future, we've all got to stand up and it's not about abolishing the police. this is about sending a message to every young person, every person regardless of your complexion that we know that the economy it matters, that that having some money in your pocket sets you free to make choices for a better life but at this .all everybody sees is a cross and a destruction of what has already been setup economic ally to improve their lives, entrepreneurship, working in a business regularly, having the security and being able to walk out of that business and not be killed all of these

things. this is about political leadership and the police departments rely on that in order to do a good job and to do a fair job. ainsley: okay you also wrote an op-ed about the roles that higher education plays in rioting allowing antifa to grow on college campuses and where did i read that this morning was it the washington times? is that where it was tammy if people want to read it? brian: i think she froze. >> yeah, ainsley, i lost you a little bit but it's at the washington times and it will be up at foxnews.com also later on this afternoon, but yes, all the details are there about who the academy is vomiting up into society further ruining lives, further using them as canon fodd er in destroying the future of every city in the country. ainsley: good deal thank you so much, tammy. after a week of violent riots and protests nationwide how can our country come together and heal? deroy murdock says there's one

steve: as major cities reel in the wake of violence what will it take for our nation to heal and unite? for a discussion we've got with us fox news contributor deroy murdock, good morning to you, what do you think? >> good morning, steve. well, look, i'm glad things calm ed down here a bit in new york city last night although standing on my balcony about 10: 30 last night i saw a bunch of thugs break into union square wines, pull the plywood off the

front of the front door and go inside and helping them to spirits and thankfully the nypd showed up about maybe a minute later, minute and a half later and scared them away and the owners came in and boarded the place up and i think it was left alone after that so a quieter night last night but still quite a ways to go. one thing that would help out a lot is to calm people down and give a sense of reassurance is for president trump to give a speech from the oval office, i think that'll be a very positive step and give a very good speech and in the rose garden but not everybody got to see that. when the president speaks from the oval office, you can get time from all three networks come in about 8:00 right at the beginning of primetime and in fact this weekend talking about the positive things the department of justice is doing in terms of the civil rights investigation, the fbi is investigating this , the doj is doing some cases and talk about some other positive steps we can take to get the economy moving again which is good for black folks and everybody else, and talk about different ways that

police departments can focus on the positives, effective and respectful policing, and start with the presidential medal of law and justice and give that to police departments and cops that do a good job of policing the way we want police to work, and then when police behave as criminals make them famous for that too. so being positive from the oval office sitting behind the desk is the very best thing the president can do right now. steve: all right well maybe he'll do that or maybe he'll have like a town hall bringing in people from the community and thought leaders and all sorts of stuff to get the dialogue going. that's important. the dialogue though, deroy in new york city where you're sitting in fact is of the 700 looters who were arrested over the last 48 hours, so many of them were immediately, because of new york's no bail reform law , immediately released. there's no punishment ultimately for a lot of these guys, many fear because of the way new york

has done their criminal justice reform. this is something that started in january. this is something governor cuomo signed. this is a state policy not a city policy but i don't think mayor deblasio seems to have too much of a problem with it and you're correct we got people even before this looting crisis began, you have bank robbers, literal bank robbers getting picked up dropped off in jail and sprung back on the street. one guy was arrested four times before the city said look we can't keep this guy, called up the u.s. attorney and said please arrest him on federal chans it's the only way to keep him off the street so it's almost like a fast-track lane at the supermarket 10 items or less you fly right through except these are not shoppers they are looter, rioters and come in and go through the revolving door and go back on the street and it's absolutely shameful and that law needs to be completely over turned can't happen soon enough. steve: no kidding especially after so many people saw those images where people so brazenly broke the windows and then carted out all of the good

stuff interest inside the store. i know, deroy thank you very much for joining us on this wednesday. >> thank you very much, steve. steve: all right, we're going to step aside in just a couple of minutes brian is going to tell you about his big interview he's gotex this morning. working to care for all of us. at novartis, we promise to do our part. as always, we're doing everything we can to help keep cosentyx accessible and affordable. if you have any questions at all, call us, email us, visit us online. we're here to help support you when you need us. take care, and be well. to learn more, call one eight four four cosentyx or visit cosentyx.com
