thoughts and prayers with you and with the people in minnesota tonight. unfortunately, that is all the time we have left this evening. we do hope you will set your dvr so you never miss an episode, we will never be the fake mob and the good news is let not your heart be troubled, laura ingraham is standing by to take over >> laura: thanks, sean. continued concern for unrest in minneapolis tonight, all across the region. we'll be on top of every angle. mike tobin has been told to move out. we're seeing on social media that there's various groups urging hundreds if not thousands of people to join the frey tonight. we'll be covering every aspect of this as this could quickly escalate. there's concern that there's a

"military presence" along one highway corridor, which of course the marxist activists believ is escalating situation. i'm laura ingraham. this is "the ingraham angle" tonight. this is the authorities trying to institute a curfew. it backfired on law enforcement. now protesters are starting to grow in numbers. as you can see from the video we're ingesting in, we're showing you live pictures. firecrackers, bottle are being thrown at police officers. now back to mike tobin on the ground there. we'll get to that in just a moment. he has to get to a safe place. we'll do that. again, the pictures coming from tell us that if this story can take many forms.

mike tobin is in a vehicle. we're going to him now. >> you can see something. hi, laura. what it was, you had the rows and rows of mostly state troopers that appeared to me as they're coming in that direction. they said media disburse. so there wasn't any uncertainty in the command they were giving out. they're trying to maintain order. the right thing is to go with those commands. also, as a matter of safety, too. certainly a number of people in this crowd that looked like and said they were intent on causing trouble. they weren't obeying the orders to disburse the tear gas, the rows and rows of police officers came out. that's a scene in front of the headquarters at brooklyn center, laura. >> laura: make, the mayor said and predicted a curfew would not

have affected or decreased the level of violence that might occur on the street or unrest if that's what we're calling it. given the fact that as you said the usual props of umbrellas and black backpacks loaded up with lord knows what. does that look like he was making a considered call there about the curfew to you? >> well, i can't tell you as far as the considered call would go. but i can tell you this. the makeup of the population out here certainly changed tonight. i think sunday night it was all about the locals that were here. they were genuine and angry. it goes on, you get more people coming in from out of town. i had several people that i spoke with who identified themselves as antifa and angrily so. we saw an increased number of

kids wearing the uniform. the black hoodies, the backpacks. i saw leaf blowers out there, different kinds of -- we saw it last night, the makeshift shields and things. it was changing dramatically and certainly the numbers of the crowd. the biggest crowd of demonstrators that we have seen ever since sunday when this got started, laura. >> laura: mike, some of the protest groups that i'm following on social media are warning other activists that they're picking up on police scanners plans to do "mass arrests of protesters" which i guess is just ticking them off even more. the police scanner reads from three different sources -- i don't know why they would make this up -- being planned along the strip mall to the north of the bcpd area. so that is something that we

should also take a look out for. look, the mayor of st. paul and the mayor of minneapolis both said they would not tolerate looting and violence. they both made that clear despite what we saw last night and the night before. >> yeah, they say they won't tolerate looting and violence but there's still looting and violence. then you had the mayor, mike elliott of this town suggest as you noted that if there was a curfew and to be enforced. sounded like what he was saying you're drawing a line in the sand. gives them something to defy and creates a dynamic, an excuse for more arrests. in terms of gearing up for mass arrests, that's what riot cops do. any time you see them, that i have the sip strips with them. last night 40 arrests that were made. when you define massive arrests,

counting by numbers of 10, i think that would constitute a mass arrest. these people declared unlawful assembly. they say it's illegal assembly, you have to disburse. x amount of minutes. started with ten minutes and kept decreasing. they ultimately moved in. it's very likely that you'll see some kind of mass arrests. i'm looking in front of me, trying to get to a better location. i'm watching rows and rows of humvees from the national guard pull in. that's 2000 guardsmen have been activated for this. their numbers are showing up. >> well, again, you're seeing pictures, live pictures from the minneapolis area. brooklyn center where we saw massive unrest. criminality on some peaceful protests the night before but overwhelmed by what looks like, again, people who believe that

what happened to mr. wright was a criminal act, not an accident. apparently, mike, there was concern that the police chief referenced an accident at one point. there was an accidental shooting which sent a lot of activists in the stratosphere. how could you say this was an accident? that's what we picked up the last couple hours. >> yeah, you pick that up throughout the day. anyone doubting it could have been an accident and the mistake that they say happened. she mistook the taser for the firearm. you heard in the press conference with mayor elliot today, the activist/journalists were there badgering the police chief, the acting police chief who had been on the job a half an hour.

the expired tag that motivated the initial traffic stop with duante wright. they believe there was a profile stop and asking what he was going to do about profiling. his response was that he's on the job less than an hour and he didn't have a plan yet. >> laura: so we lost the officer involved in the shooting. she resigned. the police chief stepped aside. so now the acting police chief may be in an unenviable position tonight. we're also learning as governor walz said earlier today, they're going to deploy the largest police presence in minnesota history tonight. and arrest any people that want to cause destruction. the curfew will be part of that. he's referencing the curfew. this was just a few hours back. so the largest police presence.

certainly looks like a lot of police officers there, officers there, mike. we can't help but remember what happened to that police precinct on east lake street last may 31, i believe it was, when it was essentially abandoned and attempted to take it down to the ground by protesters. we're hearing the flash bangs and you're seeing more tear gas in various shots or -- yeah, being disbursed to try to disburse this crowd. what they're doing so far doesn't seem to have a huge effect on disbursing the crowd. doesn't look like that's the case. police officers clearly after what happened almost a year ago now in the aftermath of the george floyd shooting are themselves on edge. this is not an easy position for them to be in. we have a lot of people on the ground that want to spend a lot

of time vilifying every police officer, every law enforcement official regardless of background around experience and ethnicity as part of the, you know, as one of these activist groups minnesota uprising as part of the pig patrol. that's how they're being referred to. you see the acab graffiti all over the streets and street signs and the area around the george floyd -- what is now the george floyd memorial area where he was -- where he was killed. that is -- stands for all cops are the b word. you see that everywhere tonight in brooklyn center, minnesota after what was another death of a black man at the hands of law enforcement. obviously police are indicating this was an accident. the comments of the officer who

now resigned indicated that she was shocked that she had shot a gun and not a taser. why we have tasers that are int beyond me. nevertheless, that's what happened. so we're seeing this situation play out almost a year later. a lot of us have wondered over the last really couple months whether the presence of joe biden in the white house would calm things down. a lot of people blame president trump's attitude or tone unfairly, i might add, for this unrest. can't blame trump now. you have joe biden in the white house. he called for calm the other day even though obviously we had barack obama today tweet out that what happened to mr. wright indicates that we need to reimagine policing in the united states, which is what frankly a lot of far left activists are saying when they say reimagine

policing, they're saying abolish police forces, a year later, things are not calming down. we're seeing large vehicles, looks like these are -- if i'm not mistaken, these are national guard vehicles being brought in to thor again as a buffer perhaps a buffer between "activists" or criminals and vital buildings. infrastructure for this community that has already been very, very hard hit. and i want to bring in now former speaker of the house, newt gingrich watching all of this unfold tonight. again, newt, everybody on edge given what we remember from just may 31 last year after the george floyd death and not too far really, seven miles or so from the pictures we're looking at tonight. news, your reaction to the

pictures. >> well, sooner or later, we're going to have to decide that we're not going to tolerate this kind of -- basically -- everybody talks about the insurrection january 6. we've seen wave after wave of local insurrections where people explicitly reject the police, attack the police. in many ways a war on cops that nobody wants to talk about. we have a totally one-sided system right now. sooner or later, society will demand that we re-establish order, that we re-establish safety and that we not tolerate people who think they have the right to go out and break the law and deliberately try to undermine what in the end are the forces of order. i think 100 police killed this year. i don't think a single one of them led to a riot. not one. but you have the system across the country from seattle to

portland to now back to minneapolis of people prepared on any excuse to go out and basically break down the law. >> laura: this is a marxist uprising. a chaos disinformation, propaganda, vilification. we've seen this play out across history. this is just one more example. has nothing to do with compassion for the family of duante wright. everything to do with tearing down a system that think think is systemically racist, unjust as a capitalist free market system. they want that gone. if they can use the death of a black man to do it, they're going to do it. >> look, fact is, in almost every case we're talking about, it is poor african americans, poor latinos, poor whites where

they get preyed upon by criminals. so breaking down the forces of order increases the danger to the poorest americans in a disproportionately racial white. we had one democratic congresswoman call for the end of policing, the end of incarceration. think about the level of madness that this suggests. we have a dramatic increase in murder rates across the country. a greater increase in theft. we just had walgreen's announce that they were closing every one of the ten drugstores in san francisco because they can't cope with the scale of theft that is now permitted in san francisco. so you're watching the decay of the entire civilization as the forces that hate it use every possible excuse and we let them get away with it. you have video cameras nowadays, you can film every person that is there tonight go out and pick them up, arrest them. some cases put them in jail.

other cases charge them a very steep fine. make it too expensive to go out and attack the police. you just saw new york, by the way, totally unprovoked attack on a police car by a group of thugs that wanted to beat up the police if they could have gotten in the car. >> laura: newt, we've had escalating attacks against police officers across the country. we've had ambushes of police officers. young, especially african american males being told over and over again that they're hated by police. even african american police officers are having to deal with people who come an inch away from their face, scream, spit, every expletive in their face. who would want to be a police officer in an environment and especially a blue state where you let criminals run wild with

intermittent arrests and they're back on the street the next day? >> as you point out, we've seen this before in the 1970s as the forces of law collapsed. led to a series of movies like the clint eastwood series of dirty harry. vigilantes came into being. these people wouldn't tolerate the level of fear, the level of threat that was happening around them. this is what people need to understand. the police collapse as a system. you'll have a genuine fight tweep people that are protecting their property, people protecting their lives and those that were the forces of violence of criminality and who want to dominate by force. this is a very dangerous period. we've been here at least three times since world war ii. in the 70s, where it culminated in massive problems. again, i think you have it going on right now. there's no reason this has to be

happening. there's no excuse for it to happen. we need the rule of law. if a policeman does something wrong, it ought to be investigated. ought to be tried. this is great irony about minneapolis or minnesota. you have a trial underway of a policeman who is being accused of killing a person, so the system is working. at this very moment, you have a whole new cycle where people say i'll go out in the streets, as you point out, rapidly deteriorates and begin to trash the local store, which is very often minority owned. begins to burn things down. we do not have to tolerate this as a society. we have to have the courage to stand up and say this is wrong and people will either go to jail or face very, very severe fines. >> laura: i don't think these mayors in the blue states have any credibility.

they're way soft on this. they're empathizing with criminals. instantly thinking the worst of most police officers. so the police officers are not going to lose their livelihood, lose their pension. at some point they'll decide for what, newt? i'm going to stick my neck out there where i can be sued for everything i have? they can lose everything that they work for. and then they're thought of in the worst possible light. criminals are coddles. i can't believe what i'm saying. i love minneapolis, minnesota. this is disgusting tonight. they're making an announcement right now, newt. what is the announcement? >> want me to step out? >> laura: they're going to start arresting people apparently immediately. they're moving in. yeah. yeah. mike tobin says they're moving

in. what do you think, mike? >> okay. watching the rows and rows -- talk about the largest showing of law enforcement ever. this is a sizable showing of law enforcement. they're marching northwest. you can -- i don't know if you can see that. the water bottles getting thrown at the police in the riot gear. mostly state troopers. you still -- i call it 200 people that are more than 200 people that are out here and you have this back and forth game that takes place. they throw the objects at the police, back up as much as they can and they wait until i get -- find where the line is drawn, laura. we've watched this play out time and time again. a guy with a board that he's using as a makeshift seal. you can talk about the acab spray graffiti.

got a couple of the flash bangs, a lot of smoke. probably some gas in it and a lot of bottles going over the crowd at the police officers. >> laura: you talked about the acab, all cops are the b word. i'm not going to say it. we just talked about that graffiti which is everywhere across minneapolis. this particular area. it was just on one of the shields that you referenced. true to form, they're completely painting with a broad brush every police officer that ever put his or her life on the line, put on the uniform because they love the community and want the community to be safe. this is how much these so-called protesters care about the people of minneapolis and minneapolis suburbs. they don't care one bit about them. i'm sorry. what we're seeing tonight is a devastation of a community that has already been hurt enormously. mike, you get a sense that

people are disbursing or just standing their ground? >> some of them are disbursing. for some it's a back and forth game. i think you can see in the shot right now, you have the same group of people standing out in front of the police headquarters kneeling with the umbrellas. facing the police officers, hoping that an umbrella would do effective work against some of the less than legal weaponry that the police and the riot gear and are ready to deploy. as we back up away from police headquarters, we're getting close to the strip mall that was looted last night. trying to keep them straight here. last night the family or the dollar tree was looted. set on fire for a while. the fire crews and the national guard were able to gain control of that situation. now you're getting the announcement that people this is an unlawful assembly, a

violation and telling people to disburse. some of the announcements they've been telling the media to disburse even though the curfew that i've read thus far said that the media exempted from the curfew. when they're out here in the field, they're telling me to disburse. we're going to go. at the moment we're watching it. >> laura: the 10:00 p.m. curfew is minnesota time. hasn't reached the 10:00 p.m. curfew that the city of minneapolis issued more than five hours ago now. so they continue to say that don't think we're just threatening. these are idle threats. every one of you on the street will be arrested for unlawful assembly and if you're committed

any acts of violence, you know, we're going to arrest you for that as well. seems to me, mike, that they know how quickly this got out of control the other night. they don't want these images of these stores -- and some of these stores as we'll show people a little later on have just been rebuilt from last may's riot. just been, you know, restocked with some cases alcohol and other cases, other goods and things that they do for the people in the community. a lot of these small business owners are fed up. they don't want to go through this again. it's heart wrenching for them. we'll be back with you later on, mike. now i want to turn to jorge ventura. he was with "the daily caller." you're in the middle of the protest at the brooklyn center. so what are you seeing?

you have a helmet. i saw the objects flying in the area very peacefully. >> yeah, we're seeing a lot of back and forth. still a few hundred -- we have riders out here back and forth with the police department. they have issued multiple warnings for the crowd to disburse. you can see the national guard truck. give you a look at the scene. a group of 80 here still not leaving and standing their ground now. we have seen national guard and brooklyn p.d. trying to get a control of the crowd. chaotic scenes. you're hearing the fireworks, sounds in the background. still a few hundred here standing their ground as we speak. >> laura: jorge, the crowd that you can make out, is it a diverse crowd? i see a lot of -- mike said

there was antifa there that he was able to get to identify. there seemed to be a lot of people are maybe -- they're not from the local community. seems like they're press or bussed in or professional activists. difficult to say. i don't know if you can see better than we can. >> yeah, it's been difficult to say. it's been a mix. we've seen antifa flags, a mix of black lives matter activists and locals. we have some folks coming from out of town. it's a mix. right now they seem angry and they're adamant that they'll fight. we've seen lots of round of tear gas tonight. some folks have left. still a few hundred here. a mix between antifa and blacks lives matter. you have the folks that come out just to cause trouble and protests for civil rights like we're seeing from the brooklyn

center and minneapolis. >> laura: jorge, the concern has been repeatedly stated that another police precinct in the area could be in jeopardy. they're just -- the authorities are just not going to let that happen. last year was such a colossal embarrassment for minneapolis see the third police precinct if memory serves me correct, correct me if i'm wrong, that was never recovered. just abandoned. it was surrounded by so many violent protesters. they burned so many of the adjourning nearby structures that we filmed that was back in august when we were there filming the buildings. in some cases still smolder ago few months later. you can smell the chemicals and the components of the structures still smoldering. that's how bad the burn was in that area. >> this time around, we're

seeing the police department, brooklyn p.d. as well as minneapolis state troopers and the national guard work hand and hand to protect the police department behind me. a fire work just popped off. these are the small businesses, very vulnerable. we've seen multiple businesses of burned down and looted for the second night in a row. we have heard some is reports of looting. that is the negative thing ant protecting the police department. the rest of the city is kind of protected and vulnerable and right now law enforcement is spread thin between the national guard and state troopers and the local p.d. here at the brooklyn center. >> laura: people have to remember, as jorge said, when you have a large police presence in one part of the city, does that leave other parts of the city completely vulnerable? you can't have -- you can't cover every corner of an area as

big as this is. for everybody that knows this particular part of minnesota and i do, this is not a small area. this is a lot of square miles that you have to deal with. you don't have enough forces to be able to guarantee safety in every street corner. that's where the criminals come in. they're not thinking of duante wright or his family or his poor mother who is suffering. they're not thinking about that. they're thinking what they can take and get away with. that's where you saw the streaming line of cars pulling up to various stores, the verizon store and liquor stores. streams of cars pulling up, going in, taking out cases and going back in in some cases for round two and round three of looting. that's where that was happening. jorge, back to you as the scene unfolds. let's bring in oklahoma senator

james langford who is watching this unfold. senator, we originally had you come on tonight to talk about the other story that we can't cover tonight at the border. we're opening the door to problems. criminality and covid concerns and terrorism concerns. now we have this thousands of miles away to the north. your reaction to what continues to be a breakdown of law and order? >> yeah, a painful night to watch what's going on day after day for a while here. as we saw last summer, day after day of riots and protests and all the things moving during that time period. my heart goes out to duante wright's family. my heart goes out to the law enforcement folks. they hug their husband or their wife and their kids and they suited up to come help protect law and order. seems odd that all of these protesters are out there violent people that are causing this

riot. seem to forget all of the families on the other side of that as well. so law enforcement folks that we owe them a tremendous amount of respect for what they're doing to try to engage with lawless people and try to restore order. for whatever reason, the folks on the left continue to talk about abolish ice, abolish the police department, reimagine law enforcement. all of those things that they continue to do while these folks stand for basic law and order in our country. >> laura: we have princeton professor, eddy glow jr. he distinction mince his words giving his views on the police and those that support the police. watch. >> we have to honestly construct who we are. policing in this country is rooted deeply in racist presuppositions about the criminality of black and brown folks. there's no compromise with those that believe that america

belongs only to white people. >> laura: senator, this is a man biden invited to the white house recently on what his white house should look like, bringing diversity in the biden administration. you heard his view of police forces across the country. >> yeah, when i talk to folks in my state, every community, every place, they want basic law and order. they want good police officers in their area. they want to be safe. they don't want to deal with what we're dealing with this year. record number of carjacking, murders, damage that is happening in their community. so no one really wants that. all this talk that is happening right now on the left, to say our retaliation of the police is to abolish the police or abolish ice or get rid of border patrol or get rid of barriers. now talking about reimagining law enforcement. then the next step. they take them on when they try to stand for justice. last summer we had hearings in

the senate that happened in a federal courthouse in portland. at that time senator harris on the same committee that i served on, all of her questions were did you test the tear gas on pregnant women when you launched that tear gas, were you concerned about the effect on pregnant women? it's a riot like is here tonight. if there's pregnant women, they were told to watch out. that was her concern about that. it wasn't what was happening and the violence and attacking law enforcement and having to think about their families back home and what they're thinking today. >> laura: senator, the brooklyn center mayor today said is that police, when they're making traffic stops, shouldn't even necessarily have weapons on them. now, we're going to show everybody a video of what happened in new mexico just

recently to a police officer who made a traffic stop. okay? he's says i don't believe officers need to have weapons every time that they make a traffic stop. senator langford, this is not about duante wright. this is about nationalizing the police, removing any local or state control over law enforcement and federalizing the entire thing. this has nothing to do with duante wright. everybody watching this unfold on the streets, seeing is violent aspect of, has nothing to do with mourning the loss of life, which everybody feels horrifically about. reimagining is reimagining no police. that's what it is. >> yep. exactly right. focused on federalizing police. federalize all elections, law enforcement. a constant drawing of power to d.c. saying d.c. folks know better than everybody else. we'll just run everything from

washington d.c. with a centralized government. that's never who we have been. always best with local control and management. always mistakes and errors and always people that do the wrong thing. so we deal with that. not just put a blanket view on everybody, every local law enforcement is bad. these are some remarkable people that put on that badge every day and bring stability to our nation that we're dependent on to step in and help protect us. >> laura: senator, thank you. we'll have you back on the other crisis that is happening during the biden tenure. remember, it was supposed to be calm and unity? i don't see unity in the streets. biden in the white house. don't blame trump. senator, thank you. here's mat walsh, host of the matt walsh show. matt, the officer said she accidentally killed this man on sunday. she's already resigned. tomorrow she's going to be

charged. so that's not enough justice for the people out there on the street to bring in the black backpacks with the bricks in them. >> for blm -- here's one thing that i'm sick of. every time we have a riot, we have to hear from the media and people on social media about the pain and suffering of the rioters and overcome by pain. when you're out there attacking innocent people and burning businesses to the ground, i don't give a damn about your pain. you lose the right to have your pain taken seriously. second of all, i don't believe you're in pain. you can watch the video of burning a dollar tree and looting. listen to the video, people are laughing and having a great time casually walking out with arm fulls of stolen items. that's not being in pain. blm -- listen, if they cared about black lives, you know, generally speaking, why are we waiting specifically for these rare cases of unarmed black men being shot by cops?

despite what you hear from the media. that happens rarely. it's more often than white people are shot by cops, armed our unarmed. why are we waiting for that? this point comes up quite a bit. a good point. cities across the nation, every single day, there's people that -- the body count rises and rises of people being killed and discarded like their lives mean nothing. blm has nothing to say about it. a woman, brittany hill, two years ago, this video is out there. the most horrifying video you've ever seen. in chicago, outside of her householding her 1-year-old baby. two gang members drive by and shoot and kill her. this is on video. blm has nothing to say about her whatsoever. we have to wait for a guy like duante wright. we are we waiting when black people are killed? ashley babbott, protester

january 6, she was shot at point blank range in the next, white woman, by a police officer. any time you see a blm hashtag or someone claiming blm on twitter, search their name and ashley babbott and see what they had to say when she went down. they celebrated the fact an unarmed woman was shot dead. i don't buy it. i don't buy -- >> laura: it's a fraud. no, matt, you're 100% right. what we're seeing tonight, this isn't minnesota. okay? i spend a lot of time in minnesota. everybody knows that. i repeat it too often. i have extended family in minnesota. i'm there every summer. okay? this is not -- what we're seeing right now is in columbus. you have any point earlier. yeah, now in what we're seeing now is in columbus. this is expanded.

protesters have broken into police headquarters, matt, going to your point. police had it locked by handcuff now. this is going to be going on coast to coast as newt gingrich said unless they stop it. unless they use appropriate legal force to stop the criminality. it's going to spread. >> yeah, look at -- breaking in to a police station. we know they did it as you mentioned earlier. we know what happened in minneapolis. they broke into a police station and burned it almost to the ground. the cops abandoned it basically. had to run for their lives. now we're seeing the same kind of things. i thought that attacks on government buildings, that counts as an insurrection. that's what we were told january 6. what happened january 6, the response to that. look at the response. they militarized the capitol for months. still is. after that happened. yet these -- this sort of thing

occurs in cities like in minneapolis and across the country. not the same kind of response. the reason is that the politicians, they care about their own safety. so if you come to where we live, then we're going to bring down the hammer. just average people, whoever works at the dollar store in minneapolis, politicians don't care about them. they don't rate. they don't rate politically as far as politicians are concerned. so you're not going to get the same response. >> laura: no. the razor wire only goes in when you protect nancy pelosi. thanks. now back to mike tobin. what did the police just announce? >> if you look behind me, may look a bit the same as the shot we just gave you 15 minutes ago. the thing is the whole thing is happening further northwest here on north humboldt drive. you have the rows and rows of state troopers in the riot gear. they make their announcement.

this is an unlawful assembly. everybody has to disburse. they advance the line. every time they advance the line, the protesters scramble. the net effect has i can tell you is the numbers are decreasing. the scary part is when the numbers are decreasing, you still have the same amount of people. they have just gone somer with else. what we have seen with past experience, when you scattered the demonstrators from one place, they go somewhere else and oftentimes they'll loot. i can tell you what i see here in the media area. what i can't tell you is what they're doing in other parts of the town. the rows and rows of riot comes. tactical vehicles with lights on. advancing north on the road. you still have this cat and mouse game with the demonstrators. they want to throw things at the cops. see what they can get away with. laura? >> laura: any sense that police are ready to go in other vulnerable parts of minneapolis, st. paul tonight? obviously talking about as i

said earlier, a very large area to cover. a lot of ground to cover with increased police presence. how concerned might they be about the other vulnerable areas and the individuals that live in them? >> they are concerned about other cities in the area. that's why you have the curfew extended not just to this town but curfews in so many surrounding towns. in terms of having to man power to go in to these areas, one of the things you heard from the chief time and time again, he does the briefings about operation safety net. law enforcement had time to plan. i want to point this out. a guy walking past us with the white helmet. he has the leaf blower, laura. that's a technique that we saw pioneered in portland and in seattle.

>> laura: now you're hearing the announcement again. that's the third or fourth time that we've heard that announcement made in the hour. so they have to marry that sound with the actual movement of vehicles and police officers. otherwise they'll be making announcement after announcement. how much ground have you seen them cover in the last 43 minutes? >> better than a quarter mile. they started to the southeast side of the police headquarters and came outside of the fence. they're marching here north. if you look at google maps, it's more northwest. they covered a good quarter mile plus. and again, the net effect is that the number of demonstrators went from about 2,000 to now i

guess ballpark it that i could see, somewhere and 80 or 100. >> duante wright's parents, mike, rejected the police explanation or narrative over the fatal shooting. that happened earlier today if their first television interview. they said they don't believe what the police say about their son's fatal shooting. giving an interview to "good morning america." that obviously just made a very difficult situation maybe understandably so much worse. they're obviously in a lot of pain. they're not buying what the police said that this was an accident. >> a lot of the people that you hear on the street, talking with the people surrounding ben crump's team, they don't lie that it was an accident. someone going for the wrong -- you've heard the narrative,

going for the wrong weapon. they don't buy it was an accident. you heard from the family to suggest or some of the activists in the press conference with mayor mike elliott and the new interim police chief suggesting that they don't believe he was pulled over for an expired tag. they said he was pulled over for a profile stop. one of the things that you heard from the mother of duante wright is her belief that he was pulled over because the air freshener hanging from the rear view mirror got the attention of police. different narratives that come out. the official narrative is that he was pulled over for an expired tag. in the course of checking his i.d., they determined he hat and outstand warrant. >> laura: just to give people the sense of the geography here, this is taking place about ten miles from where the derek chauvin trial continues day after day.

do you sense there's a crossover in the crowd there, a crossover? have you seen any indication that the people are gathered there are also gathered because oh the chauvin trial and where that might be headed? >> absolutely. you had a lot of people that were preparing -- you've seen there's nightly demonstrated during the course of the derek chauvin trial. so you had some of those people out here. you also have a lot of the out of towners that are showing up tonight. i don't know that everyone is an out of towner. they appear out of town to me. they have the increased numbers who are showing up here. i haven't been able to check everyone's ids and addresses. that's why i'm cautioning that. i think you have a lot of people that were gearing up for the end of the derek chauvin trial, particularly a verdict that they weren't happy with. they were planning to descend on the area hence the need for operation safety net. and then this unpredictable

event upset a lot of people and triggered what we're seeing now, laura. >> laura: again, the target on lake street was looted yesterday. we had other small businesses just terribly looted and vandalized and laid waste to a lot of volunteers out there this morning. mike, seems like a replay of what we saw last june 1, june 2. that would be the damage done and then the people showing up to try to clean it up only to have it damaged again the next night. so we're slowing the footage now of some of the badly damaged small businesses along with those big box stores that were getting hammered as well. clearly a lot of people taking advantage of police presence being deployed elsewhere in the region and not necessarily at the locality where they want to

take a lot of free stuff essentially. mike, what is the movement on the ground now as they made more head way, authorities trying to disperse? >> not a lot of movement since we've been speaking. we heard the announcement come out. usually the announcement comes ahead of a big advance of this line. the announcement has come out a couple times. just seeing a couple of flash bangs come out of the row of police and the riot gear. went over our heads and seem to pass where everybody is standing here. that has happened the last few minutes. since we've been speaking, the line hasn't moved at all. see what the demonstrators, standing around. there's a degree of gamesmanship that comes with these things. i think that's a stage we're in now. >> laura: at least 53 people according to one report, two

different cities near brooklyn center and minneapolis. mike, thanks so much. i want to bring back newt gingrich. i mentioned the mayor of this brooklyn center in minnesota is wondering whether his officers executive vehicle stops needed weapons. so traffic stops and the like. i want folks to take a look at this video that was released earlier today out of new mexico. now because the video was so horrific, the officer, darian jarrett. the assailant went up to him with an ar-15. he was face down and shot him point blank in the back of the head. i would imagine that officers

need weapons at traffic stops. maybe someone can send the memo to the mayor. >> we have to recognize that we allowed america to become much more dangerous. we've allowed criminals to be more bolder and more savage. adopted a series of rules and laws an attitudes that will continue to erode civilization. the people put at risk are the poor. notice the food -- rather the giant store that was burned and looted. that had local people working in it. its customers were local people. the strip mall that was attacked, had local people working in it. customers were local people. this doesn't affect the rich. this affects the poorest americans, affects african americans, latinos, people that are living in a neighborhood. and they're victimized.

the rest of us tolerate it. so we have too tighten up dramatically. probably starting not just in minneapolis but starting in portland and seattle and making a decision that we'll tolerate an anti civilization violent mob moving from city to city and local thugs that kill innocent people including two and 3-year-old kids that were killed in drive-by shooting. what the left has done in this country is madness and it's driving us towards i think a very, very dangerous environment where people will in fact feel that they have to protect themselves if the government won't protect them. it's a very dangerous moment in american history. >> laura: yeah, newt, people at some point will -- this is how it always goes -- will take defense of their family and their property into their own hands. we saw that during the l.a.

riot. store owners stood outside with shotguns. you've seen that to symptom extent in minneapolis over the past 72 hours where you do have people saying, police can't do it, we're going to do it ourselves. for the most part, they protected their stores. the ones that have done it. >> you're presently going to see neighborhood defense associations and a greater hostility to criminals, drug dealers, violent people. we've been in a long cycle of year by year ceding ground to the corrupt and the evil. it's now reached the critical mass. pictures from new york in particular have been just horrific solve mobs with no provocation, none of the excuses that you have in minneapolis.

mobs out doing things in daylight with absolutely no fear of the law or the police, no fear of the news media. we're not going to tolerate that very long historically. we never have. i think you'll see the american people move pretty dramatically back towards insisting that they be protested by the government and insisting they have the right to protect themselves if the government won't protect them. >> laura: newt, let's remember what happened in new york city. when new york city was just a zombie land of crime in the 70s and the 80s. ebbs and flows. i remember as a kid, certain parts of new york you couldn't go into. i lived in connecticut. i would go in to the city. ushered in the era of guliani. people were fed up. so barack obama weighed in on this, newt, today. totally irresponsible tweeting

that our hearts are heavy over another shooting of a black man. it's important to conduct a full and transparent investigation but this is a reminder of just how badly we need to reimagine policing and public safety in the country. newt, there's not been an investigation of what happened with this female officer. the former president of the united states with all of his celebrity is saying this? >> look, if obama took crime in chicago seriously and you looked at the number of people killed in chicago, innocent people killed in chicago during the obama presidency and his total neglect of innocent people, most of them african american, victims of violent crime are african american. much more than the victims of any police brutality. that's one of the great lies the left tells. they don't want to confront the fact that the people you're

watching on tv are dangerous largely to local minorities. they're not dangerous to the nancy pelosis in a secure neighborhood or to the very rich or to barack obama. they're very dangerous to local poor people and people of color. >> laura: you can see the authorities moving in in some of these pictures on the crowd that will not disburse. to your point, newt, in the area right around where george floyd was killed, there's like a three or four square block areas, all blocked off to any regular traffic. basically dividers and people sitting in convention tables essentially preventing the free flow of people in and out of the area. you have to basically go through screening. and i'm thinking to myself, who is getting rich off of this? the neighborhoods not imposing

because of the giant situation going on around where george floyd was killed. i understand there's a memorial there. that is fine. i don't know what kind of commerce exists at all. >> one of the things we have to do is eliminate no-go zones, whether it's in minneapolis or portland or seattle. we have to say flatly, united states is one country. water not going to tolerate local people in effect seceding, creating mini countries that they dominate and control usually to the disadvantage of people of color. >> laura: again, we're seeing live pictures of this unfolding situation in brooklyn center, minnesota after the duante wright killing, the police narrative on this and seems to jives. has to be a full investigation

obviously with just a tragic accident where a police officer, 29 years on the force, pulled again instead of a taser in this stop of mr. wright who apparently did have a warrant out, outstanding warrant. he was shot. the women exclaimed i shot him. she seemed genuinely shocked and horrified. again, there needs to be an investigation, newt. we can't have people chiming in one way or the other on this until there's an investigation. thank you, newt. now let's go back to jorge ventura with "the daily caller." we saw some police starting to move aggressively against these folks. now the curfew is almost upon us. looks like the crackdown might begin. >> yes. we're seeing the crowd disburse.

finally the national guard and state troopers are pushing the crowd back. we're seeing them disburse. people are doing a quick pan. this is just 100 people out here, hearing chants of black lives matter, chants of duante wright. now the crackdown is happening. all of brooklyn center police department has been clearing. there's no more protesters or people in that area. it's all law enforcement. anybody that goes by there will get arrested. law enforcement is clearing out the area right now and we'll continue. there's probably less than 100 people out here. >> there's sporadic reports of other problems in the minneapolis area as this is unfolding. we don't have pictures of them. if you have that much of a police presence in one part of the city, curfew or no curfew, there's only so much ground that you can cover.

can't cover it all and certainly can't protect every business, which leads back to newt's point that until law enforcement gets serious and puts down what is ultimately an insurrection against enforcing the rule of law, unless they start doing that, you'll keep getting more of it. this is just the tip of the iceberg, jorge. if this trial of derek chauvin doesn't go the way they want it to go, what happens then? >> i say we'll see a repeat of last summer where groups attack every major city. every big city goes into flames. every small business suffers especially the minority businesses. that's what happens. they get destroyed. even at the scene right now, right here, apartments and

families. they're looking out the windows while this is happening. one thing that hopefully is coming is that minnesota p.d. and the state troopers have learned a lesson from last year and hopefully -- >> laura: we have to go, jorge. thanks for your report tonight. we're going to be now with shannon bream who continues our live >> i am shannon bream in washington. this is "fox news @ night" breaking coverage of the third night of unrest in brooklyn center of minnesota. "gutfeld!" will be back tomorrow. we are told to expect a decision on whether to charge officer kim potter in the shooting death of daunte wright in the traffic stop. my before that decision, crowds are gathering outside. law enforcement officers, authorities declaring an unlawful assembly. they've been a number of warnings to the crowd. there is a curfew in place. people are being told to leave with arrests will begin and there have been some
