federal response to the chaos you see, a preview of his opening statement he writes this. what unfolds lightly around the courthouse cannot reasonably be called a protest. it is by any objective measure an assault on the government of the united states. to condone distraction and anarchy is to abandon the basic rule of law principles that should unite us even in a politically divisive time the democrats plan to grill them on everything from the federal deployment in portland to the mueller report. >> attorney general bar is there to protect donald trump. it is quite self-evident in all of his actions that he has not acted in the people's interests. >> reporter: is the violence in portland continues for the 60 first night and spreads to other cities, forties in portland revealing the contraband, gasoline, hockey sticks, a jar

for a molotov cocktail. chad will tweeting injuries to officers announcing the rest of 22 individuals. portland mayor ted wheeler tweeting the commissioner and i are calling from meeting with the department of homeland security leadership on the ground in portland and to discuss a cease-fire and removal of federal forces from portland and it comes after the mayor of 6 cities road to congressional leaders asking them to make it illegal for the administration to deploy federal forces to cities that don't want them. this is likely to come up at william barr's testimony as the administration consider sending more forces into portland to get things under control. shannon: jim jordan will be one of the lawmakers at the hearing, he says william barr has been doing his job to fix the lawlessness and calls out

democrats for attacking him over it. >> the bill barr's commitment is to rule apply in the constitution, democrats have been out to get him ever since i year ago when he used the words buying a hearing in front of the united states, william barr is trying to clean up the politics from the obama biden administration, trying to clean that up for rule of law and for that he's getting attacked by these democrats. todd: house judiciary member louis goehmert joins us with a preview of today's hearings. joe biden on the campaign trail, the divide between the modern and progressive sides grows deeper. shannon: several delegates threatened to reject the party platform. >> reporter: bernie sanders said joe biden could be the most progressive candidate since fdr but his delegates are not buying it, 360 delegates signing a petition saying they will vote against any party platform that doesn't include medicare for all. saying the coronavirus pandemic

is, quote, highlighted the need to separate healthcare from employment. former sanders campaign cochair nina turner criticizing the presumptive nominee telling the atlantic voting for biden is like, quote, eating a bowl of expletives as the dnc voted on the current platform which welcomes advocates of medicare for all but doesn't outright support it. the platform does include aggressive goals for combating climate change, $15 minimum wage and more federal gun control but black lives that are's cofounders is the party needs to make see changes to address police brutality and racial injustice. >> without making necessary revisions can any of you here truly stand up and say my party is the party of principles? >> the clock is ticking. biden will need to garner that support while choosing his crucial running mate.

all with the convention just weeks away. >> is running a robust process. there are a lot of women incredibly qualified women including a lot of women of color who are part of this process and ultimately will make that decision and he will make that announcement. >> the pandemic is sparking changes in the campaign trail. the first presidential debate will be in cleveland after the university of notre dame dropped out, the university president saying in part the constraints the coronavirus pandemic put on the event, understandable and necessary as they are has let us -- the second debate to be moved, last month the university of michigan dropped out moving that debate to miami, donald trump has also canceled parts of the republican national convention set in florida. he will accept the nomination in north carolina where the convention was originally planned. >> thank you. kanye west submits the required signatures to be on the general election ballot. a representative filing minutes

before the state deadline. west has also submitted paperwork to be unbalance in oklahoma and illinois but his presidential campaign has been met with controversy following a number of inflammatory tweets and appearances in recent weeks. >> coronavirus relief proposals as republicans rollout their $1 trillion plan. mitch mcconnell and feeling the heals act focusing on healthcare, economic assistance, liability protection in schools, the republican proposal includes more than $100 billion to help schools reopen, $1,200 stimulus checks and reduction in federal unemployment benefits to $200 a week down from 600. while democrats claim the republican proposal for unemployment benefits, molly hemingway says there are bigger issues they should worry about. >> big problem with the unemployment insurance is

indians and devices people to return to work, that hurts small business owners and is also worth wondering whether in november there will be a problem for democrats, pushing so hard to keep everything locked down that i don't think people are in favor of. >> antilock down protests swept the nation earlier in the pandemic. it is yet to be seen if those voters will express their frustration at the ballot box. >> donald trump welcoming a marine veterans of the white house after he walked 300 miles from north carolina to dc. -- the walking marine terry sharp make the annual journey to raise awareness about veteran suicides, this time he was greeted by karen pens who walked with him to the white house to meet the president. >> cause of death has been revealed. according to the chief medical examiner the tv icon died of heart disease. philbin passed away one month shy of his 80 ninth birthday friday. kelly report and kathy lee gifford paid tribute to their former cohost. >> couldn't find a live forever

that we assumed or thought that he could or would. they don't make them like regis anymore. >> the most grateful person in the world. he never forgot where he came from. >> gifford cohosting live with regis for 15 years before rip and joined him for 11 years. >> he was the best, just the best. time is 10 minutes after the hour. murder rates up in major us cities so was behind the increase. >> ted williams says there are several factors including low police morale, he joined us next.

shannon: seattle protesters with a message outside the names of mayor and city councilmembers saying messages were left in front of mayor jenny durkin's home. another had racist material outside their home, cutting

money from the police department but not by 50%. >> reporter: a 10-month-old girl fighting for her life after she was shot on a chicago highway. >> if you want to. >> police say she was hit in the shoulder and is in critical condition. a 10,$000 reward being offered for information leading to an arrest. shannon: that's not the only evidence of a recent surge in violent crime. homicides in chicago up 51% to 24% in new york city and 95% in minneapolis compared to this time last year. >> what is to blame? former homicide detective ted williams joins us with his take. let's look at some more numbers, shooting, surging in our country, specifically in 3 cities, let's look at new york

year on europe 61%, chicago up 47%, philadelphia up 55%. over the years violent crimes like murder have been blamed on video games, lack of religion, lack of respect for human life, the list goes on and on, now we see these riots in the streets. why do you think these violent crime numbers are going up? >> i can tell you that when it comes to a spike in homicides there is nothing to measure them by. homicides are normally committed by people associated with each other. this has been a long, hot summer. what we have found is this virus, people are closely and tightly woven and because of that, that is one of the reasons

for the uptick in crimes in many of these metropolitan cities around this country. >> we have had this conversation for weeks upon weeks. when do things start to change. when do we see the tide shift and was will take? nothing is changing. >> you are right and that is the sad commentary about where we are. we are somewhat frozen in time. one of the sad commentary his investigation of these homicides, law enforcement officers around the country where it is terribly low, these crimes are not solved as fast as one would want them to be solved. >> listen to fraternal order of

police's representative from chicago, listen to what he has to say. >> not just that businesses go away, civilized society is going away and it is partly by design, law and order is on one side of the pendulum, they push the pendulum so far the other way that it swings back a little bit. >> reporter: police have their hands tied, what can community leaders do to stop this violence? >> community in leaders need law enforcement. the majority of police officers serve and protect their community, community leaders and members of any community need to lock arms with police officers to resolve crime.

you have these criminals out here and the community in and of itself is afraid to turn these chemicals in because they may be armed by the criminal. as a result of that there needs to be some assurance between the police department and community leaders helping to solve crimes in many of these metropolitan cities. shannon: thank you for joining us, appreciate your insight. have a good day. todd: the pandemic causing a big change to the 9/11 memorial ceremony, the reading of the names will not be held in person so why is it getting scrapped while protests keep growing. >> next guest's brother died in a terror attack and says this is disappointing for every victim's family. straining, and bloating, again and again. no way. more exercise. more water. and more fiber is the only way to manage it.

is it? maybe you think... it's occasional constipation. maybe it's not. it could be a chronic medical condition called ibs-c, and time to say yesss! to linzess. linzess works differently than laxatives. it helps relieve belly pain and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements. do not give linzess to children less than six and it should not be given to children six to less than 18, it may harm them. do not take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe, stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include gas, stomach area pain, and swelling. change your thinking to ibs-c. if your constipation and belly pain keeps coming back, tell your doctor and say yesss! to linzess.

>> the families of the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks will not be reading the names of the loved ones at this year's memorial, the just received notice that covid-19 is reshaping how the annual tribute will be performed, many asking why the same restrictions were not put on the droves of protesters across the country. >> joining us to react is donald darius who lost his daughter adam in the attacks, thank you for being here, this never gets easier for you. can you start by telling us who your brother was in tell us about that day. >> my brother was a wonderful guy, 37-year-old broker who worked on the 80 fourth floor of tower 2, he was a singer, a guy with a great sense of humor and great cysts for life and we miss him every day. >> let's read the statement from

the national september 11th memorial and museum. had of abundance of caution we will not ask family members to read the names of victims in person on a stage this year. instead we will use recorded name readings from the museums to ensure that your loved one is recognized and remembered. when you got this news what was your reaction? >> it is nice to have family members reading this live and in person but being grown ups we understand the situation is dire so this is something 9/11 families are used to. the definition of being a member of a 9/11 family is to be perennially disappointed so this is no shock to us. although we are disappointed in our leaders, contrast that adult conduct of 9/11 families with

what bill diblasio is doing, what governor cuomo is doing, mtv is coming to new york, bill diblasio participating in street art in front of trump tower -- trump tower, it would do them a good to learn a lesson from 9/11 family members. those people he paralyzed the -- e penalized the strength and dignity to comport themselves in time like this. it is outrageous what is going on in the city and the rest of the country and contrast that with what we are doing. i have the utmost respect for the memorial committee, they will do a top-notch job, one of new york's bravest, ringing the bell for every moment the airplane struck and when the towers fell, and this

professional recorded message of names, we have to survive in these times but i am more disappointed in our leaders and how they comport themselves but what i'm really looking forward to is when they reopen the memorial and hopefully if bill diblasio and cuomo approve it, the students we can get their act together we can open that on 9/11 for family members and open it on 9:12 for the general public. >> for those watching at home who have never been there i have, everybody needs to go there and see it. what does that day symbolized to your family each year? >> i'm retired now but i remember where i was on 9/11, i was a major in the air force working on an air defense exercise. i remember it was a gut punch.

all of those people, look at the average age of the person who died that day was 36 years old. my brother was 37. what did that mean? it left countless widows and widowers and a lot of small children lost a parent that day so me as an american i think it is a touchstone we all need to see at some point to get back in touch with what it means to be american. remember what we were like after those days, how we came to go there, not the sniping we see today but what we saw then was people coming together, supporting each other, i remember going to ground 0 as an air force officer, 9:15 when i got down there and people were lining the streets handing out water, workboots, stacks of pizzas being delivered, people really came together, we need to revisit not 9/11 but that spirit we had after 9/11. shannon: something we will never

forget, we want to forget your brother adam and many others, thank you for sharing your story, we appreciate it and we will be right back. as you get older,

notion that we believe the protocols are adequate to keep our players safe. >> reporter: 13 people including 11 marlins players tested positive. home games against the orioles were called off. it's not clear if or when they will be rescheduled. they may play tomorrow in baltimore if enough players test negative before them. miami faced the phillies over the weekend, their game against the yankees last night was postponed. as of now they are skill scheduled to play, players and coaches are nervous about the issue of health. >> i am scared. i really am because of my heart condition. what happens if i get it? >> reporter: that is a reasonable fear. the nfl believes it is ready for a 16 game season. the league thing protocols include daily testing, keeping players and employees safe, the

nfl's chief medical officer saying we know in medicine we can never eliminate risk but we do all we can to try to minimize or mitigate those risks adding the league expect positive cases and will handle them as they happen. coming up, can league safely hold the season at all. is it reasonable to do this? >> lots to talk about where that is concerned. prosecutors with cases against four minneapolis police officers charged in the death of george floyd, oppose audiovisual coverage of the trial. they are set to go on trial in march. they say they would be open to the reporting, a judge band cameras during pretrial proceedings. police in los angeles searching for vandals who displace a memorial for following officers, police releasing this video of a suspect outside the lapd downtown headquarters, they belong to officers who died in the line of duty.

police tweet how is this peaceful? attacks on police continue, anthony napolitano says officers want someone to have their back. >> you can't get enough police officers to take this job because of the d fund movement and anti-police movements but on top of the officers are not afraid to be the police, they want to be given the go-ahead to be the police and have someone back them and they are doing their job. >> may need major cities including new york and washington dc have measures to reduce funding for their police departments. >> 100 days until the presidential election but with the pandemic top of mind there are new concerns about the accuracy and security of our system. several states experiencing major mail in voting delays

during their primaries. one race in new york still not called thanks to 65,000 uncounted ballots and now reports the email systems of election officials could be easily compromised. joining me to win, former colorado state senator ted harvey. this is just one primary race and primaries have notoriously butternut but 60,000 ballots are still not counted. what does this mean for the hundreds of races across the country of the big one, the presidential race come november? >> it highlights the problems of mail in voting. there's a reason donald trump has been so adamant about the fact that he doesn't want to legalize mail in voting on the national level. in colorado we have where i served in the colorado legislature for 13 years we have all mail in ballots and it

concerns me. i made the fight against it. when you mail ballots, your mailing ballots to people who are no longer alive, mailing ballots to people who no longer live at that address you go to apartment complexes that have large male rooms where the mail is delivered and you can find ballots that have been mailed to those post boxes but nobody lives there anymore so anybody can go in and grab those ballots, take him home, fill them out and send them in and they do check the signatures but i don't trust the signature machines to make sure they are okay. you add that in the technical problems new york has and it is a serious issue. >> the morning after the election will we know who our president is for the next four years? >> i think we will. i think you will have the president winning the electoral college vote across the country but i think you will have a question of what is the popular vote and who has won the popular vote because you will have these problems in some of these states that have high populations like

california and new york and they will be counting votes until way into the evening and possibly several days afterward. >> as if that wasn't concerning affairs in a shocking report that shows election officials are vulnerable to email attacks, look at this, less than three of 10 election administrators have basic controls to prevent fishing. this is unbelievable, very concerning to me. we found foreign adversary want to attack our systems for years. how come email officials haven't fixed the system you? this shouldn't be a shock to anybody. >> foreign governments have tried to influence our elections forever and this is one example but you have limited budget in small counties, they don't have the ability to spend a lot of

money on it so it is easy for adversaries to mess with the elections through county officials who don't have a huge budget to deal with their it problems and it is a problem across the country. >> congress has given $1.2 billion to deal with these issues, you beg the question where did that money go? appreciate your time this morning, have a great day. shannon: attorneys are trying to keep highly confidential material under wraps ahead of the trial, the proposed order will block evidence including nude photos from being made public, the legal team wants a gag order to invent witnesses from posting information about the case online. ghislaine maxwell pleaded not guilty to recruiting charges of recruiting girls for matt epstein. the criminal referral against

i do you see him, my daughter would see him etc.. that something all-americans could embrace is we are not perfect but we can talk to each other, love each other and get along so thanks for featuring this. appreciate it. >> thank you for joining us to share those memories of your thoughts and experiences, appreciate it, have a good day. we will be right back.
