11:00 pm
and groupthink. have the best night with the ones you love. we have a great surprise for you and story. sean hannity takes over the 9:00 p.m. hour. >> sean: is it really a surprise? i'm just saying. all right, tucker, thank you. welcome to "hannity." the so-called biden blitz was in rare form. joe spent all of oh, a couple minutes into very brief semipublic events likely between several naps. we'll have a full rundown of his incredibly lazy and limited schedule. that's coming up. first we have a lot of deeply troubling news to cover surrounding the police and rising tensions in america's major cities which are now sadly poised for yet another summer of violence that likely will be completely ignored by the democrats, the mob, the media. over the weekend we sell riots. we saw widespread looting erupting in minnesota again after a 20-year-oldcr
11:01 pm
african-american man, his name is daunte wright, he was fatally shot by police while resisting arrest according to reports and attempting to flee the scene in a motor vehicle, according to law enforcement, this was the result of an accidental discharge after the officer involved intended to deploy her taser incentive her firearm according to the police chief. in the body can video you can clearly hear this officer screaming taser, taser, before firing one shot. we'll let you decide. the facts need to come out. warning, what you are about to seeef is extremely graphic. take a look. [inaudible] >> i'll tase you! i'll tase you!
11:02 pm
taser! taser! taser! [bleep] i just shot him. >> sean: the officer that firedd the fatal shot is on leave. we pray for the family of daunte wright. there must be a full, thorough,f complete investigation but the brooklyn center city manager who just called for due process has been fired for calling for due process. meanwhile, many innate around minneapolis responded with violence. rioters pelting police with bricks and other objects like we saw all summer, although in joe and kamala never addressed iter although kamala supported the bill funded minneapolis. over 20 businesses were broken into and looted, all while minnesota's democratic governor fanning the flames. instead of urging the people of his state to remain calm and away the results of a full investigation. he rushed to judgment and vilified police with a tweet that read in part "the life of a
11:03 pm
blackk man taken by law enforcement." sounds like a conclusion, it doesn't sound like leadership or that is a shameful attempt to use what is already a horrific tragedy to score political points at the expense of his own states police officers at a time when obviously and clearly tensions against law enforcement are now reaching a fever pitch. i am a full monologue on theal recent wave of violence. also against police, straight ahead. first, joining us with the very latest on the ground in minnesota tonight, our own mike tobin. mike, they are supposed to be in a curfew time. is the curfew and effect and are people obeying the curfew? >> it's interesting. as i talked to people in the run-up to the curfew and everyone i spoke with said they were going to obey the curfew and stand down when the time came but we are an hour into the curfew. you may have heard the sound
11:04 pm
behind me. long-range acoustic device used by the police announcing to these people that it's an unlawful assembly and they are in violation of the curfew. if anything, the numbers out here of groan. you can see the big crowd. that's the northwest side of tho police headquarters here where so much of the conflict happened last night. off in that direction. the police are back behind fencing. supplemented by concrete jersey barriers, if you will. those jersey barriers in the chain link fencing is a new development that went in today. there is some of the force you see of the multiagency force. that's actually part of the operation safety net intended to secure the derek chauvin trial. they have all been called up for this. as we look further in this direction, more southeast, you see ballpark at 100 state troopers part of the crowd control effort. when they arrived at the street,
11:05 pm
a lot of the demonstrators were concentrated to the northwest side, came in this direction. usually what we see, they come in this direction looking for some kind of friction, some kind of conflict. in the crowd we have spotted one handgun, mostly makeshift weapons, things like shields, things that can be used for breaking windows. to that effect. m not saying everyone in the crowd has them. we spotted some of those types of weapons in the crowd. now we have a tense situation, waiting to see how it's going to resolve. clearly you have some demonstrators out here on a rainy, cold, miserable night intent on staying until something sends him home. you have the police to say the curfew is in effect. you saw the things that happened last summer when the curfews weren't enforced and what remains to be seen is how people are going to handle it. >> sean: watch behind you. people just got in behind you. very quickly, with the curfew being in effect, talking to the people. what is the reaction to the city manager, the guy that was fired for saying that we need due process first.it
11:06 pm
what is the feeling? >> i haven't had a lot of conversations with the demonstrators specifically. to the city manager being fired. >> what i have had conversations with them about, it always goesc back to the conflict with race and with police. the one-word answer i get from people's anger. they are frustrated. something just made some noise back there. there a vehicle pulled up. i think somebody hit a vehicle. we've got a small conflict brewing here in the street behind us. humboldt street. somebody hit that car as it wass driving to the crowd and you've got a lot of emotions as a result. it looks like that situation. it's going to dissipate. that driver is not very happy. that's what we are watching right now, sean. >> sean: and the police remain hidden behind the barricades they h built?
11:07 pm
any police officer's presence? are they coming out? >> what i showed you on the other side of the street was about 100 state troopers who had come out from behind the fence. what remains to be seen is that they are going to advance on the street. if they are going to clear the street. late last night, people talking about teargas last night. i think only smoke was used last night but some peoplee were run off the street and you had a large contingent of state troopers marching up the street. it was effective in clearing the street here. the problem is what we saw here and what we saw in kenosha, when you run the demonstrators at one location, they go somewhere else. they went somewhere else last night and like they did in kenosha, that's when you get destructionnd and looting, sean. >> sean: we will get back to mike tobin throughout the hour. break in any time.e. tonight, every shooting in every
11:08 pm
state, they all deserve due process and a full complete investigation. anyone who broke the law, acted maliciously, violently, must be held accountable. far too often, horrific acts of violence are largely ignored by the media mob, their friends the democratic party. they are telling us these are peaceful protests went over the shoulder, their city was on fire.ty was on fire. they don't seem to fit into their preferred political narrative. it shouldn't be about politics. downtown portland has been under siege on and off now for months. late saturday night, far left antitheft rioters sent an i.c.e. facility ablaze. officers were inside and then attempting to trap them inside with barricades. according to local news following the arson, zero arrests were made. anyone in the democratic party, media mob, care about those i.c.e. agents that could have been burned alive in the building. what about the three officers shot in georgia this morning
11:09 pm
after a high-speed pursuit? forget about that story as well. will there ever be wall-to-wall coverage of that horrific act of violence? sadly this wasn't the only police officer shot todayel because in tennessee one person is dead, one police officer injured after getting struck by a bullet while defending a local school from an armed gunmen. in long island, new york, an officer fighting for his life at this hour after he was stabbed in an artery during a routine traffic stop over the weekend. in new mexico, they just released d footage showing the horrific murder of officer darian jarrett, shot and killed at point-blank range by a violent criminal or doing another routine traffic stop. viewer warning. take a look for yourself. [gunshots] >> sean: that is gut
11:10 pm
wrenching, terrible footage showing the dangers, the risks a police officer faces every single day, every routine traffic stop. four months this year, nearly 100 police officers in this country been killed in the line of duty. sergeant james smith, iowa, shot and killed april 9. trooper chad walker, texas. shot and killed march 31st. police officer eric talley in boulder,th colorado. shot and killed, march 22nd. officerd kevin valencia shot and killed in florida, march 15th. captain justin williams bedwell of georgia shot and killed march 1st. louisiana reserve deputy constable martinez mitchum shot and killed in february. virginia police officer dominic jared windham shot and killed in february. you just saw the horrific footage of the officer in new mexico shot and killed on february 4th. fbi special agent taught until february 2nd. fbi special agent shot and killed the same day.
11:11 pm
mississippi lieutenant michael booth, sacramento deputy sheriff. toledo officer brandon stocker. puertot rico agent. they were all killed by gunfire this year.al i doubt you've heard any of these names before and he won't likely see widespread demonstrations for these fallen officers. you won't see much outrage from the media mob either, if they even report it. aside from a few local reports you probably won't see their names anywhere. instead police face widespread vilification and harassment and now defunding in every major city in the country. take a look at this recent footage from new york. look at this. >> get the [bleep] out the [bleep].
11:12 pm
>> people don't want to see you here. [bleep] get the [bleep] out. >> sean: taking an image of a pig and putting it on top of the car and calling them pigs after the left continually vilifies police for political gain. this kind of harassment, that violence now widespread rarely if ever reported. in any large group there are always going to be bad actors. i call them the 1%, those that will make mistakes under duress. in virginia, police officer has been fired after pepper spraying and african-american army lieutenant literally in the car. he was stopped during a traffic stop. thisd has gone viral. according to reports, the officers failed to see his temporary tags and thought he was driving without a license plate. it was a brand-new car and i had won a paper license plates. the army lieutenant did not immediately pull over, took about 100 seconds but he clearly
11:13 pm
saw the police officers lightste on h as he put his emergency lights on looking for a safe place to stop the car. that's all a smart decision. what happened next was incredibly tense and it was scary. you decide again. d >> get out of the car now. get out of the car! >> sir. o >> get out of the car. work with us and we'll talk to you. get out the car. >> you are receiving an order. >> i'll tell you. >> sir. >> get out of the car now. >> sir, sir. >> get out of the car. >> can you please relax? >> get out of the car right now. now.w. >> i am actively serving this country it is how you're going to treat me? i didn't do anything wrong. hold on. hold on. can you please talk to me about what's going on. why are you treating me like
11:14 pm
this? >> you're not cooperating. get on the ground. >> sean: the officers tell himwh they've let him go and it happens. obviouslyer a thorough investigation of all of it must be conducted in any misconduct must be addressed in a serious situation. these incidents should be handled on a case-by-case basis. 99% of police officers are good people and they want to protect and serve. they have a very dangerous job. most perform heroically every day. in the face of imminent danger and zero political support and now a lack of full funding. violent crime is on the rise. policing has never been more important than now. support from the community for good police officers, that needs to happen as well. atlanta just experienced its deadliest year in decades since the widespread calls for police reform and defunding the police after police involved in the death of rayshard brooks, if you remember.
11:15 pm
the murder rate in atlanta is a 50%.nd new york city murder of 48%. after defunding efforts in milwaukee, homicides rose a whopping 97%. in seattle, after the lawless summer of love, you know, the chaz chop autonomous spaghetti pot luck zone, 61%. on sunday, multiple people were shot in the city central. our 2-year-old little girl is tonight in critical condition. no widespread national news coverage or outrage on this horrific shooting. the same can be sent to the cost of violence in the citylu of chicago. murders there are up a whopping 50% in the windy city and they were already high. raget your screen. i think we're the only shot ever ever scroll the names of victims for years on this program. obama, biden did nothing. they never lifted a finger to stop the violence in obama's home city, nothing. unfortunately for democrats, the media mob, e the only violence
11:16 pm
they seem to care about is that once that the examples they could use for political gain. they don't want to tell the whole story. for them, nothing else seems to matter. america is in crisis tonight on many fronts. here with reaction, fox news contributor dan bongino. fox news correspondent at large geraldo rivera. geraldo, tryingnt to get a complete picture here, one that gives both sides. a cop makes a routine traffic stop. weey saw the new mexico tape. dead. they don't know what they're facing on the other side of it. on the t other hand we have incidents i have spoken of pretty strongly about what happened to george floyd. that can't happen. i think we need training. i think we need nonlethal alternatives for cops. your thoughts. >> first of all, you can't lose
11:17 pm
sight of the fact that what happened yesterday it of all places minneapolis the outskirta of minneapolis was an act of grotesque negligence. you can't reach for your taser and take out your 9-millimeter and shoot somebody and expect everybody to go kumbaya, policing is tough and cops have a hard time. this was horrible. there's a situation in this country know where i swear to god and i'm speaking with deep experience, too many black mothers are more fearful of the police that they are of crooks with their sons go out., a 20-year-old should not end up dead because of expired registration. i amon in brooklyn now. the precinct is a couple blocks from here. i went to law school with the police captain there. every night, law school, cops everywhere. i get to policing. some of myce best friends are cops.
11:18 pm
they are thet that gulf between -- >> sean: geraldo. >> how white family reacts and how black family reacts. >> sean: there is 1%. i would say there people that should never be cops. they do not belong in that job. we've got to find them and weed them out. i'm conceding the point. i'm not going to back off an idea called presumption of innocence and due process. we can't have cops making of fatal mistake, dan bongino, they are holding a 9-millimeter or of 40 and they think it's it taser in somebody's life is lost but you do need due process. it doesn't mean there won't be fault with the officers. officer on tape is saying taser, taser, taser and then a shot rerang out. thoughts. >> couple things. geraldo is perfectly entitled to
11:19 pm
an opinion. just because you weren't a police officer doesn't mean you can't comment on policing issues. i hate when liberals say that about us but going to dinner with the police captain doesn't -- i'm not suggesting you are, i'm just saying. >> don't start minimizing my experience. >> can you shut up for two seconds? be quiet for a second. >> you try to undermine the foundation of my experience. >> sean: geraldo, let him talk we willec let you go back and forth. >> i am tired of this guy, he never shuts up. o >> sean: dan, go back to your statement. >> as i was saying, he is entitled to an opinion.s not entitled to a certain set of facts. you don't know anything about actual policing if you haven't done it. saying or suggesting that you can relate to the experience of police officers, you can't. i am not suggesting what
11:20 pm
happened yesterday wasn't a tragedy. t it was, obviously. there is a dead young man is never going to take another breath of oxygen again in his life. we don't have all the facts on this. we know she said taser. it appears, it appears to be a mistake had a fatal one. we have a process for that. injecting race into it, which you do on these police issues constantly, when you have none of the data. you have no evidence whatsoever. >> you are making me the issue again. don't you have an argument to make the doesn't concern me? >> i'm not making you the issue. i am responding to your dopey comments. you have no idea there's a racial undertones of this at all. and you're saying black parents have to worry because -- >> really? i had no idea? p>> you are further inflaming. the country will burn to the ground because of people like you who say dumb things like that with no evidence to back it
11:21 pm
up. >> how about people like you that don't credit the humanity of half the country? they are running scared and they are scared of cops. it doesn't matter that we love cops in that blue lives matter whether there's a thin line between civilization. what matters --'t >> stop pontificating and produced some actual data. you are a reporter, right? >> a 20-year-old kid has an expired registration. he ends up dead in the same town where george floyd was asphyxiated by a brutal cop's knee on his neck. >> hold on. from the two incidents you've extrapolated as a reporter. that everyone should be afraid of the police, that is rational to you? t >> talk to the mothers. talk to the mothers of
11:22 pm
african-americans. >> you want to do the emotional thing again. you can't produce facts. >> you think all of this rage, black lives matter, you think all this happened, defund the police, it all happened because of a fanciful liberal notion? didn't. it happened because of the pain. >> data to back any of it up, rather than citing a marxist group like black lives matter. >> what's your fact? what facts? >> my facts, i read on my show the other day doj study where they interviewed victims. the amount of police activity was proportional to the crime committed and i have nothing to do with the race at all. those v are facts. you should try them sometime rather than trying to burn the country down with your racial rhetoric. >> will you stop it! you, you, your whole routine is to attack me. your whole routine is to attack me. >> you're constantly wrong.
11:23 pm
>> that black people are more fearful of cops. >> you don't have any data to back it up. i'm not attacking you. you run a national show doing what you do, trying to incite some kind of racial strife ine the country. you have no evidence to back it up. >> i am on fox news now. i submit to you that the majority of our audience agrees with you. i don't i care. i have to be a voice for the people whose voices are not -- obviously not resonating with you. these people are fearful of cops because there's a black kid, he's 20 years old and he had f expired tabs and he's dead now. he's dead now. >> i know cops and the people i work with, they have no reason to be fearful. you had dinner with a cop once. it's not the same thing. >> sean: geraldo, geraldo, geraldo, we also lost 100 cops. >> how many black people did we lose? >> sean: excuse me.
11:24 pm
geraldo, stop. geraldo. every single human life from god is important. let's all agree on the basics here.e every time a cop pull somebody over, they don't know what they're going to face. those are challenges. the bad cops need to be weeded out. let me put up on the screen really quick. i have been advocating for more training and advocating for nonlethal alternatives. i told you about a gun i bought called a byrna and it literally is pepper spray and tear gas. i am a customer. i don't have any financial interest in and if you're wondering at home. this is an alternative for police. instead of being close to somebody like with a taser, you can actually use it. i can hit -- i'm a pretty good marksman. i can hit my target at 40 feet away. there is an alternative. the fact that we are not using technology is stupid.
11:25 pm
we need every cop to have alternatives like this in their arsenal so they don't always have that one option. all right, got to get to some breaking news.ar geraldo, dan, thank you. back to mike tobin on the ground tonight. he has been following the events unfolding. mike. >> it's tense and lingering, as this cat-and-mouse game goes on with the demonstrators and the police. the police are largely holding the ground. the last 10 minutes or so, some of the teargas did come out, small amount. we could seemi smoke. we are looking at the northwest side of the police headquarters here in brooklyn center. the demonstrators really aren't backing down, even despite the freezing rain that's coming through. you see the signs at the ready. every now and then you'll see a plastic bottle come up over the crowd.ra what's difficult to see right now because they are in the darkness are the rows and rows of police officers in their riot
11:26 pm
gear standing there protecting the headquarters. as wece look in the other direction, of humboldt street, you can see a large -- because it is dark now, a large dark crowd. the tv light should be eliminating some of the reflective gear on the troopers who have come outside of the fence. earlier before the sun went down, i ballparked their numberr at about 100. you have another 200 i would guess demonstrators standing in front of them, the usual stuff, the shouting and chanting and the antagonizing. keep in mind we do see some makeshift weapons and the crowds. by makeshift weapons i mean shields, things that would be used to break glass. not everyone but we do see them in the crowd. sean.. >> sean: mike tobin, will be going back to you throughout the hour. we are continuing to monitor developments all across minnesota tonight where a curfew has been in effect for well over an hour and half for the minneapolis area amid concerns about more looting, more unrest, more arson following the shooting of daunte wright. democrats, the allies, the media
11:27 pm
mob continues to smear republicans with lies about the georgia voting law and using the race card. t listen to april ryan on fake news cnn yesterday. >> right now it's a party of reagan. maybe turn extent but it's also a party that is anti-brown. this is a party that does not like the browning of america. this is a party doing anything by any means necessary to continue to try. >> sean: here with reaction, civil rights attorney, fox news contributor leo 2.0 terrell along with radio talk show host larry 1.0 elder. thank you for being with us. a lot happening. the silence has been last summer we all know that it wass. deafening from the democratic party.
11:28 pm
cops pelted with rocks and bottles and bricks and molotov cocktails. at 100 dead officers. we have distrust of police in certain communities as well. then we have a law in georgia far more liberal and far more access to voting for everybody than joe biden's home state of delaware and he calls it jim crow 2.0. does the silence of democrats overac the summer, does their support of defunding the police, does the use of an argument that is clearly using racial undertones like jim crow 2.0, does this exacerbate the situation? leo. >> yeah. let me be very clear. they hounded trump for being a racist. trump is not an office. there's more race card games being played during the democratic administration. i want to be clear about april ryan. she is lying to the american people. donald trump increase the number
11:29 pm
of minorities the republican party. look at the hispanics, texas, black men, more minorities voted republicans. she is lying. why is she lying? because democrats are losing minorities because democrats have figured it out. i figured it out. it's a lie. democrats play the race card, the police misconduct card in order to intimidate and chill people from moving on. that's what's going on, more racism in a democratic administration and the false accusations against donald trump. >> sean: larry. >> for perspective we shouldld recognize that april ryan workss for a publication which published a piece by a young blacks male writer called "whiteness is a pandemic" where he said there ought to be a vaccine for white people because white people are inherently racist..
11:30 pm
this is what's going on. democrats need to push their narrative for votes and they know they can't win back get 13% of the population, black people, so angry that they that lever for the democratic party. 81% of black people, about the same percentage of white people want the police to remain the same level or have more officers. black people disproportionately benefit from the police being there because they -- the democrats in the media are pushing it and it's getting people killed. it's called the ferguson effect with the minneapolis effect. young thugs get out on the street and young black men are believing cops are going to hurt them so they don't comply so you have incidents like what happened in brooklyn, minnesota, yesterday they could've been avoided if the suspect had simply complied. >> sean: let's talk about the cases. we had the new mexico tape, a basic traffic stop and the cop
11:31 pm
gets blown away. in virginia, look at those cases. under any circumstances, there's no such thing as a routine traffic stop. no cop knows what's on the othee side. what is you think in the case of the army lieutenant? >> you said it. every case is different. democrats want all these cases as racism. you have to look at the facts. traffic stops, the police officer in new mexico who got shot. the situation in virginia, you see ase situation that -- something called due process. i've handled these type of cases. you can't lump all of these cases the same. they are unique and they have their own facts and you have to evaluate them differently. not to say the police are against black people. that's ridiculous.
11:32 pm
>> sean: wanted you think of the case that we are showing the video here know of, this lieutenant in the army, larry elder? >> it sounds to me like he should've cooperated. we could've avoided this whole thing. by numbers, there are 7,000 homicidewe black victims in rect years. your. we are talking about 575 per month.s. 19 per day versus two unarmed blacks killed every month by the police. unarmed does not mean not dangerous. michael brown was unarmed in his dna was found on the officers gone.d this is the perspective the media does to give you the impression cops are mowing down black people. urban crime in places like st. louis, baltimore, three times the homicide rate in places like chicago, the stories are completely ignored. i wrote a piece in 2015. in one week, four black police officers were killed in line of duty. nobody gave a damn because i did not fit the narrative.
11:33 pm
>> sean: hang on. let me go back, back to you in a second. we see what looks like teargas. this is an brooklyn center in minneapolis. the crowd, he said, it went up a couple hundred more people. the curfew is in full effect. it's been in effect for more than an hour and a half. we'll get to mike tobin in a second. with geraldo and dan, i brought up this issue. both of you know that i'm a student of i martial arts. i trained five days a week. four or five days a week an hour and a half day. i've been doing for eight years. i'm a student. i'm a brown belt, not a black belt.s. i'm also trained in the use of a firearm. what bothered me the george floyd case, even on fentanyl, people bring up that argument, once you have somebody in handcuffs and once they stop resisting, alled efforts need to be pulled back immediately. that's basic police training.
11:34 pm
then things get a little more difficult in the case of rayshard brooks. i have been promoting and believing in cops need more training but they also need an alternative. i'm not a big fan of the teasers with the wires because he get two shots and if you miss, it has to be at close range for it to work anyway. you look, and mentioned that i purchased this is a customer. i'm a customer. i think it's an alternative police need to look out around the country. a nonlethal alternative. i can hit my target with this byrna gun. it's got these little pellets, pepper spray and tear gas and one pallet.
11:35 pm
from 40 feet away. it gives cops, we can put it up on the screen. it gives cops another option. it looks like a gun. it comes in different colors for yellow, black, orange as you can see on the screen. it's got five shots in it. i can hit my target from pretty consistently from 40 feet away. in many instances and it will stop you, you can look at the videos online. o go to their website at byrner. if you get hit, you can't see. you're incapacitated. if you make a mistake at least the person is not dead. leo. >> i agree with you 100%. as much as i will defend the police officers, 98% of them are good, you need to update police training. there are other alternative techniques. i have handled police misconduct cases and there's always an expert saying that alternatives are in place. the police department has to go along with updating their technique and going with alternative measures. i agree with you 100%. >> sean: larry. i like your comment. >> i'm for anything that makes
11:36 pm
any civiliante police interactin were safe. i also believe civilians need more training. in california in a town, the cops are given body cam. the public knew it. 90% fewer officer complaints. less use of officer force. the officers were doing what they were trained to do. >> sean: i've got to let you go. larry, leo, stay right there. let me go to mike tobin on the ground. teargas being fired to disperse the crowd. mike.bi what's going on? >>rs more teargas. we are seeing that what preceded the teargas are the fences that were installed today. some of the crowd had those fences and they were shaking it. at risken i guess of doing some damage to the fence itself. the white smoke, the teargas has been deployed a couple times. what we don't see here is that the police are advancing. now with a big cloud of gas, we see this every time. the crowd of protesters will scatter for a while. i am probably going to start hing and a second because
11:37 pm
the gas is coming my way. protesters scatter and then they reform. the wind is blowing in this direction. as the gas comes this way, there's a group that's just beyond that cloud a of gas and they are not moving. that's teargas, all right. if we turn around. >> sean: i'm looking at you. is it impacting you? are you having a hard time seeing? >> yeah, i'm having a hard timee seeing and breathing right now. you can see the officers that we were showing you before they came outside of the fence, they are still out there on the street. what is not there with them anymore all the demonstratorsef who were going through the game, the back-and-forth, antagonizing and shouting, throwing of objects.he they are out on the street and presumably they are just going to come marching to the northwest direction. we'll see what goes on with the
11:38 pm
rest of the crowd. we will take a look in this northwest direction. we turn around this way, they did not effectively clear. >> sean: if you need a break, we understand. if you need a break, tell us. >> i've got it. you still have a ballpark at about 200 demonstrators. they are upwind of where the gas was deployed so they didn't scatter. a lot of the demonstrators in this direction and scattered. >> sean: mike, why don't we give you a break. we are going to give you a break and we'll go back to mike in a moment and get his take. i think we have joining us now newt gingrich. we had a model for other topics but i want to get his reaction on what's unfolding. wet have a problem, mr. speaker, around the country. in-year-old state of georgia, in virginia new mexico, minneapolis, los angeles.
11:39 pm
we have been watching what i have been all last summer and now we see what's unfolding here tonight. meget your reaction and how to best solve these problems. one other things that shocked me over the summer was the utter denial of the news media. joe biden never mentioned the rioting that took place all last summer. s we had 3,000 cops injured during that time. tension is never higher it seems in my lifetime than it is now. >> i think that the danger we've got which we've had before. the black panther movement in the late '60s for example, engaged in fairly large scale rioting. 2500 bombs that went off from 1969 to '70. there were riots in an amazing number of cities in the 1960s. part of what you have here is that the society can't decide whether or not it favors law and order in the classic sense. if you look at with having other country no, the forces of
11:40 pm
disorder, the forces of crime, the forces who have contempt for civilization are all now dominant. you have taunting the police, attacking the police.it we have made being a policeman dramatically more dangerous. historically that's very unhealthy. historically yes,li there has to be training. yes, you have to look intont incidents where things occur that are wrong. the bias historically is that the person willing to risk his or her life to protect you deserves the benefit of the doubt and deserves thehe support of the community.ll deserves people in the community saying "we're not going to let a bunch of thugs take your life or beat you or humiliate you." all of that has broken down. i think it's a very dangerous time for the country and one
11:41 pm
which to some extent reminds me of the 1970s and the whole period of clint eastwood and dirty harry and "make my day" in the series of movies where people were so fed up with the crime that they were in effect willing to go and either popcorn and applaud somebody, including policemen who were clearly breaking the law to reestablish order. i think this is a very dangerous time for the country and we need to understand that the more we tweaken the police, the greater the likelihood of really serious crime and the greater the likelihood that innocent people are going to be killedic or hur. >> sean: let me play a tape. we played it my opening monologue. i can play tapes from over the summer. you had police being attacked and doused with water in new york city. they cut a billion dollars from the nypd, mr. speaker.
11:42 pm
the city has never been less safe as a result and you can see it in the homicide rate skyrocketing like it is in many big cities. there's another side of the story. so far this you've lost over 100 cops that have been shot in the line of duty. that's a lot of cops. listen to the taunting of police in a car. this is just a small portion of it. taking images of a pig and putting it on the cop car. we can play that. >> get the [bleep] out the [bleep]. >> people don't want to see you here. get the [bleep] out. >> sean: this went on for minutes just harassing, taunting. >> the question has to be asked which is true all last year this were the left ultimately will be repudiated by the country is if
11:43 pm
you've got this guy on video, you know who he is. you know he was out there deliberately harassing and taunting a policeman. why isn't he arrested? why isn't he facing jail time? if we are going to back off and we are going to apologize and we're going to allow the forces of crime and the forces of hostility to dominate the streets, then we're going to get what we are now getting which is in every major city, i think every major city, a dramatic rise in crime. who does that hurt? it hurts the innocent. it hurts minorities. who are the largest number of victims of these kind of criminals? they are african-americans. you talk about crime, you'rere really talking about entire populations of people, chicago and new york and baltimore who are faced with losing their lives potentially.
11:44 pm
not being able to be saved, setting their child out for ice can cone. this is madness and at some point society has to get a a grp on itself and decide that we are in favor of the law. we are in favor of the police. we are in favor, yes, they've got to be trained. yes when something goes wrong it has to be investigated. but on balance a strong, effective, trained police force is better for the poorest people and better for the minority groups than any other situation. we need to get back to that and realize this fantasy liberalism is putting everybody's life at risk. >> sean: mr. speaker, will bring you back. we had other topics to talk about tonight. obviously with the breaking news, that changed a lot of things. thank you for being with us. we go back on the ground mike tobin. mike, i've got to give you credit. i've known you for many, many
11:45 pm
years. obviously the teargas is getting to you. your answer is i've got it. i have been gas before. that might go down this the difficulty of the job you do g every day and the heroism involved to bring information to people. i see a lot of fireworks it looks like. or is it more gas? >> the fireworks, those are fireworks. the fireworks will come from the crowds of demonstrators and you can see with the umbrellas. that t was the technique that ws developed in portland and seattle to try to defend against the less lethal weaponry that will comee out of the police. the fireworks are coming out of the crowd and they are blowing up dangerously close to the police and now he saw around him out of the place and landed on the ground. it looks like it's producing some smoke. maybe gas. the smoke and sometimes you get the gas. sometimes the smoke is loaded with tear gas.
11:46 pm
we saw a couple rounds of what looked like cherry bombs coming out of the demonstrators. they stop at the roadside stands and by the fireworks and some of those are potential fireworks, the typee you see on the fourth of july that produced the big explosion. it should be an attractive explosion unless it happens at close range and that it can be very dangerous. we are not seeing his were not seen the police come outside of this chain link fencing that they had installed. they are standing there. it's tough to see because i don't have lights on themselves. there's number of police officers with right gear at the ready. when i look at the street in the direction of the state troopers, in fact that has changed a bit. i talked about the state troopers out in numbers. the crowd has gone. their numbers remain the same. back into the gas now. their numbers are remaining the same but they are moving slowly forward up this street. dynamic is changing. i would say the number of demonstrators is down due in no small part to the gas. he does have a tendency to scatter people.
11:47 pm
here in front of a police headquarters, the numbers of demonstrators are down. the standoff is still very tense. the problem with the numbers of diamonds vendors are down in one location, they go somewhere else. what we saw last night when police got control of the street here, that's when looting was taking place in other locations. >> sean: let me go back and explain to people because i mentioned earlier a nonlethal alternative for police. i purchased a couple myself. it shoots pallets, pepper spray and teargas. i've taken the shot. you said oh, i've got it. i have been gas before. it is one of the worst feelings ever. explain exactly how you feel when the burning of your eyes and it gets in your throat. >> i feel it right now. as another cloud of gas coming through. it definitely burns around your eyes. sometimes if you get big enough dose, it's as if you can't g
11:48 pm
exhale. you would think it would be hard to inhale. you can inhale but you can't exhale. asse far as where your skin bur, if you shaved that morning, every shaved, t it catches on fire. that's what i was experiencing right now. off to the side we worked on camera, we were dumping water bottles on faces or tried to make some of the burn go away.. now i'm getting a fresh dose of gas. that lovely feeling is returning, sean. >> sean: it's a tribute to the hard work you do for this channel and you've done for many, many years. thanks, mike tobin. will get back to you as we continue our coverage. bringing back leo 2.0 terrel, larry 1.0 elder, b kayleigh mcenany. there is a political opponent to that that was the denial all summer long of rioting and chaz, chop summer of love autonomous zones, police stations burned to the ground, thousands of cops injured with bricks and rocks
11:49 pm
and bottles and molotov cocktails. all that happened as well. joe biden and the democrats ignored it. they didn't want to anchor their constituency. tensions rising between police departments and communities, city blocks taken over, police precincts burned down. it brings back a lot of memories of what we've been through. >> it does. as you know, i started that white house podium and i didn't often field critical questions about violence in the streets. i brought it up after st. john's church burned in washington, d.c. st. john's church stayed open during the march on washington. it's an icon of civil rights and faith intersecting but it was burned down among the riots.it 25 people who lost their lives. you go to cnn, chris cuomo. who says protesting needs to be peaceful? the first amendment says you
11:50 pm
must peaceably assemble and don lemon says rioting as a mechanism to restructure the country. this was enabled by the left. we have got to look intoan instances like what we saw yesterday, the horrific tragedy. we've got to recognize most police officers in this country are good, amusing people, like chris in new york, fighting for his life in a hospital bed in a medically induced coma after being stabbed in an altercation with a drunk driver. only his life was saved by a marine who tied a belt around his leg. the new mexico officer. thank you for putting up the names of all the police officers. it's the first time i've seen it done on the program. so important. we need to know their names. they sacrificed their lives for us. >> sean: every life matters. larry, in the middle of our coverage and we were proven right about the abuse of power and corruption with the deep state.
11:51 pm
dirty russian disinformation dossier used a a spy in a presidential candidate, that a president. it all happen. those people still not been held accountable. i was went way to point out i don't want to disparage the 99% of fbi agents that do a great job for us. the 19% of intelligence in an evil world that keep us safe every day doing things we don't even want know about. it's the same with police officers. you're never going to have 100%. i have discovered in my life that every teacher i meet for the most part, every singlele t police officer, fireman, medic, nurse,ve doctor. these are not jobs for people. these are callings. they feel called to serve, protect and serve. officers with their lives on the line to protect and serve communities. the 99% are great. one bad cop and look what
11:52 pm
happens. >> that's why i mentioned about the police department here in california, rialto. the city is 100,000. cops were given body cams and the civilians knew it. civilian complaints declined 90%. ernot because the officers were doing anything any differently. once civilians knew they were being watched, they stopped lying. the officers didn't have to use the same kind of force they had used before because the civilian stopped resisting because they tknew they were being recorded. the speaker mentioned the riots in the ' 60s in '70s. largely people felt the investigation was going to be swept under the rug but right now you have a lot of people of color running the investigation. the mayor of brooklyn outside of minneapolis is black. the minneapolis police chief is black and brown. chicago police chief is black. the mayor. what makes you think that when there's an unfortunate incidentn like this it willl not be
11:53 pm
thoroughly investigated given that you have people running the investigation. it's as if it doesn't seem to matter. they're never going to be satisfied. the police shouldn't kill anybody under any circumstances, how unfair is that? >> sean: leo, larry does bring up a big point. you have a majority minority police force and a lot of big cities. in this particular case, you can hear the officer on tape saying taser, taser. there was one shot fired and it wasn't the taser. it was a gun. now this individual is dead. is it possible, all your years as a civil-rights attorney, does that officer, in this case a woman, deserved the due process? because the city manager got fired for saying we've got to have due process. >> absolutely. that's what makes this country unique. due process is fundamental to a just society.
11:54 pm
she had due process from the administrative standpoint. her job. through criminal process and even a civil process. what larry says is true. this is of the democratic playbook at its finest. they claim there is systemic discrimination. how can you have that in black, democratic cities? how do you have institutionalized racism when people of color are running the city?o it's a playbook, a false narrative. it's a lie. that's how the democrats tricked people of color to save the party. got to hold the monitor. the jim crow comment by the president's ally. systemic systemic discrimination in community is run by minorities, communities run by democrats is a big lie but it's a democratic playbook tool.a oo >> sean: let me thank you. leo 2.0. larry 1.0. kayleigh 1.0. she hasn't. change. thank you.

>> sean: let's go back to mike tobin on the ground in minnesota. it's been a tough night for you. you took on a lot of gas. tell us the latest. >> let me show you. the view is considerably different because the role troopers i was showing you, local police as well, they have advanced of the road. you can see them in riot gear, batons at the ready. they haven't encountered a whole lot of resistance coming up humboldt drive to this point. it's going to be hard to show you past these guys. have an empty stretch of street but beyond that where the demonstrators were upwind of the gas, you still have a number of people in the street.
12:00 am
this rule of troopers and local police advance was of the road. they've had taunting but not a whole lot of resistance. it's going to change as they get further up the street. because you have some demonstrators at the ready. it looks like they have dug in and are ready for a conflict. we see the back-and-forth with the fireworks being fired at the officers. you heard some response coming out. it sounded like a pepper ball. >> sean: mike, thanks for taking all that heat for us tonight. i know our audience appreciates it. hope you stay safe. thank you for your coverage. let not your heart be troubled. i have great news. laura ingraham, we missed you. welcome back from vacation. hope you had some good time o >> minnesota right on the brink. tobin is one of the best reporters period, unafraid and out there and as such a professional job. >> did you hear what he said?
