well, good day as our live there were clear rules that we tried to abide the coverage continues. fair warning, we have a lot of ground to cover over this next possibility of provocateurs, hour, mostly reports on two totally different topics that people who wanted to stir are come ploopletely unrelated. problems up. wehood to be mindful of that. if you see individuals, conduct number one and top of mind, of outside the realm of that course, last night's violence, particular function, either point it out or get away from yet another night of violence across the country, but also them. to be honest with you, i would some 22 minutes from now we are discourage participating in drem scheduled to see the first launch of a private spacecraft stations that go way into the from florida from nasa night. there's an old song. facilities carrying two the protests are at night under astronauts in space. this would break years of the the streets of darkness. u.s. dependence on russians for a ride into and out of this. >> it wasn't in music form, but a lot of our parents would say what we're watching is the cape nothing comes to any good at night and they were right. in florida. there's a lot of inclement mark, thank you. weather around even though it

as we said to our viewers at the appears to be a beautiful sunny top of this hour, speaking of walking and chewing gum, we are space coste da day on the coast covering two disparate topics in the course of one hour of live coverage. time now to swing to the other florida. a lot of americans went to bed one. with less than five minutes remaining on the clock you see last night. in the lower right-hand corner if they saw any live news of your screen, let me show you coverage, they would be forgiven something just as important. if they thought something had that's our weather radar. if you were with us for our last been cut loose, something coverage, the last time we tried to get the rocket to slip the unhinge, something over and beyond the angle and death of surgically bonds of earth, you know there are minimums. george floyd. we saw some truly vicious acts there are all kinds of of violence last night in the categories nasa relies on to say streets of more american cities go or no go. than we could count at one a large yellow dot to the medial point. obviously the epicenter was in left of the launchpad is not minneapolis. to a lot of the people watching, considered good news in the weather business. it appeared that perhaps while it does not have a red, or something else could be at work. god forbid, purple center, a

indeed last night, late last night, well after 1:00 a.m. on yellow dot as we know from our the east coast, officials in phones in our pocket usually means an area of precipitation. minnesota briefed the news for that matter, so does the media, the governor, the maier green around it because our weather moves from west to east of minneapolis, the head of public safety there, and they with a few exceptions in this were the first to raise the notion of outside agitators. country. this does not look good. all day today we've been told indeed we woke up today and that the chance for launch was learned that all of the arrests no better than 50/50. in st. paul, minnesota, last the president of the united night were people from out of states has made his second trip state. and then there are gatherings down to florida in a week's time like this one on a sunny day in to try to witness this launch. the mile high city, hundreds of so he and others are standing people have come together for a by. peaceful protest in denver, the astronauts have been loaded colorado, stemming from the death in minneapolis of george in and strapped in. our correspondent catie beck is floyd. but clearly today the theme that is emerging is that some of the nearby. catie, let's cast a look to the more virulent violence we saw west and tell me what you see. last night, the night before, >> reporter: well, brian, this and so on was the work of has opinion an emotional roller-coaster ride this outsiders. it is a plot line we have heard morning.

people are packed on every inch of this island. thus far today from the people are threatened to tow president and the attorney general. here are both. carshe shoulders because >> they've got to get tougher. they've got to get tougher. everyone wants to see. the weather has been a big they've got to be strong. honor the memory of george concern, a big gamble. floyd. honor his memory. they have to get tougher. we have had showers. as you said, there's that and by being tougher, they will be honoring his memory, but they ominous radar looming out there. people are optimistic and cannot let that happen. what i saw policemen run by a getting more optimistic. mayor who is probably a very they know it can be called off good person but he's a radical minutes beforehand. we've talked about the emotions mayor, when i saw the mayor they're feeling and how much is needed considering all of the running out of that police sadness and outrage our country station, to see a police station is experienced with all of these abandoned and taken over, i've events. these folks feel nothing but never seen anything so horrible and stupid in my life. positivity. they're ready for it, eager to >> with the rioting that is see it, and waiting it out.

occurring in many of our cities around the country, the voices even when the showers came, the of peaceful protests are being people sat in their car, waited hijacked by violent radical 20 minutes, and got back to their spot. elements, groups of outside a lot of excitement. radicals and agitators who are but as you said, it's not a exploiting the situation to pursue their own separate and great sign. violent agenda. the thunderstorms and lightning in many places, it appears the can be minutes from launch. violence is planned, organized, and driven by anarchic and left >> we've been watching the trump extremist groups, far left extremist groups. and pence families standing by >> now, that latter bit from the attorney general was from the to watch. briefing room within the last it's been temporarily declared a hour at the department of justice. it was notable that the a.g. no mask zone for the president and vice president of our came out and read the statement he did. country. he took no questions. let's brick in retired he turned and exited the room. astronaut peggy whitson, 365 clearly, clearly today this is becoming the plot line. a good many local folks and a days, placed eighth on the good many cities across our all-time endurance.

country are telling people, if chris hadfield, commander of the you're from here, we understand international space station. and as we bring in our guests, your anger and sadness over the again, i'm no meteorologist, but situation nationally, the it -- we're hoping it remains situation in minnesota, but if you're from here, stay home tonight on this saturday night. stay home. clear. don't come into the streets. peggy, to you, 15 seconds, and a good many mayors have lamented then you, chris, and we have to open up the countdown. >> we're definitely excited the destruction of property, about this. my fingers are crossed the infrastructure in cities indeed last night. weather will stay just far we heard and saw atlanta's mayor with a genuine flash of anger enough away to get this vehicle off the ground. i think everyone is holding and sadness as she looked over their breath right now. the damage in her city. >> commander hatfield? >> it's great that tens of there was looting, there was thousands of people have destruction of property, there gathered to watch something that was defacement, there were fires shows what america can do so lit in the streets. well, a real beacon of hope police had to fight back as they right now. we just need a little hole in did in a good many cities. the weather. there were fires and fights in my fingers are crossed for the the streets of brooklyn, new weather also. the crew's ready and the york, in los angeles, fights with police in las vegas. rocket's railroad. >> all right.

we will lay back and listen to indeed, a genuinely violent mission control. night last night. >> under a minute now. we had several camera crews out the fts, flight termination and about in louisville, system, has been armed. kentucky. we are awaiting the ability to >> dragon spacex, go for launch. speak live to our correspondent in minneapolis, minnesota. >> spacex dragon, we're go for morgan chesky has been standing by to talk with us, and we've launch. been getting a live hook up with him. >> the team has 30 seconds. morgan, can you hear us? >> reporter: brian, i can hear you. we are in south minneapolis right now where a crowd is gathering. just to make one thing very clear, these are the crowds we've seen gathered during the >> stage 1 staging for flight. daytime in minneapolis. >> the team has 15 seconds. each sign, may justice flow down ten, nine, eight, seven, six, like a river, george floyd, black lives matter, i can't five, four, three, two, one, breathe, these are the peaceful protests, brian, that have felt like their message has been zero, emission, lift-off.

overshadowed by the damage that's been seen one night after another in the city. last night unfortunately no go spacex, go nasa, godspeed bob different than the prior two with more fires being set and more destruction coming across and doug. >> america has launched the minneapolis. we did see a hopeful site earlier today, brian, with ambitions of a new generation continuing the dream. dozens upon dozens to clean up 20 seconds into dream. midtown, a neighborhood that was stage 1 of flight is nominal. not hit until overnight and early this morning, but these are the kind of demonstrations we've seen during the day. >> t plus 30 seconds in this they've planned a march through historic mission. flying crew onboard dragon the city today. these are the folks as you mentioned in this area, wanting falcon 9 and look at them go. >> 1 b, throttle down. to show george floyd's message was not in vain. >> we're throttling down to get they're trying to send the ready for the period of maximum message loud and clear and in as dynamic pressure. peaceful a way as possible. we're in the throttle rocket. brian? >> morgan, i don't want to take you away from opinion or reports say all systems are go. analysis, but i ask because

you've been out in it for the >> the vehicle is supersonic. last several nights. you've been amazed at the >> we've exceeded mach 1 on the violence, equally amazed at the lack of police presence. when you woke up today and heard falcon 9. >> throttle up. a heavy response from officials regarding outside agitators, and >> we're throttling back up to full power. there's going to be emotions, >> copy one bravo. >> we heard that one bravo whether it comes from the for right or far left, i don't imagine that kind of talk called out. surprised you. that's the second board. >> reporter: it did not, brian. they'll be on this until they it was a very clear line in the switch over to the second. at this point, bob and doug, sand that we were waiting to see happen by officials because pulling about 2.3gs, 2.3 times there has been so many questions the earth's gravity, already raised as to are the people gathering during the day coming building at over 1500 miles an back at night? who is who and who should be hour. >> the m vac engine is ready to held responsible for this? light. right now everything continuing 80% of the arrests that took to look good. next major event coming up is going to be the triple. place were those from out of we'll have main engine cut-off

state. i think driving this forward of the first engines, stage from an enforcement standpoint, separation, and ignition of the second stage engine to continue we had 700 national guardsmen to carry the astronauts into orbit. yesterday. we expect more today. that resource combined with that coming up in about 20 seconds. curfew may be the first step m 1-d throttle down. toward piece come nightfall that we've seen in the city for the better part of a week. >> we heard they're throttling that remains to be seen. we found out yesterday, even down the merlin engines on the with the addition of that first stage. curfew, without enforcement, it left parts of the city vulnerable and the damage speaks and we have mikko. to that as we see here today. >> all right. >> confirmed. morgan, thank you for the long [ cheers and applause ] night of reporting, you and the camera crews. >> m vac ignition. it was last night in the twin cities that the head of public >> all right. we have stage separation. safety in minnesota said tonight >> well, to our two astronauts could be an international event joining our coverage, peggy and as he put it.

tonight they could get what they chris, i don't know much, but fear, an influx of tens of the black stuff looks like it's in space already having left the thousands of people unencumbered space coast of florida. peggy, your reaction to what we by workweek protests who look at are witnessing. protesting tonight in the twin >> so this is fantastic. cities as a magnet event, we've gotten through the first something go to and be part of, stage. we still have a ways to go, and he voiced his fear about several more minutes before they'll get all the way to exactly that happening. orbit, but it's great. in the meantime, the spacex team that was in conjunction with is going to be bringing back talk of upping the force of the that stage 1 at the same time, national guard. so we'll be seeing that landing let's talk about what's probably at the same time as happening across our country. these guys continue up into i want to bring in mark claxton. orbit. it's about a little over 8 1/2 mark, simple question. minutes for them to get there. what do you think is going on in i think it's amazing you go from cities across our country? 0 to 17,500 miles an hour in do you think it's any more 8 1/2 minutes. sinister than people expressing >> and people at home heard that their anger and sadness? number correctly. >> yeah. considered the nominal speed for it's absolutely a lot more sinister. i think so many jurisdictions found themselves underresourced, orbit, 17,500 miles per hour and they didn't have the benefit

along with our usual proviso, of a lot of important int don't try this at home or on the intelligence information interstate. pertaining to the threats that chris hadfield, for those of us are out there and individual with any age on us, the number of changes is so gripping. organizations, extreme groups -- look at the thrust of the saturn extremist groups who use these opportunities of protests as an opportunity to disrupt and try 5 rocket that took the to, in essence, overthrow astronauts to the moon back in the day, summer of 1969. governments, and that is what i it had 7 million pounds of think cities across the nation found themselves having to deal thrust, give or take. this had 1 million pounds of with unexpectedly. i think moved forward, tonight, thrust, give or take. for example, will be significant how is -- how are they able to use a rocket given that as far as what the rae response difference in thrust, and what will be. i think you'll recognize there else are the notable differences are two demonstrations, daytime as you look at this mission and nighttime. compared to your last mission, it tends to be at nighttime that for example? >> well, part of it, brian, is you have anarchists involved, an like if you look at what the wright brothers flew back in 1903 and then you compare that to what we know is a great taggists, and criminal design for a jet airplane today, we've learned a lot since the

very first rockets that went up. opportunists. we have to be realistic and we learned a huge amount with intelligence has to be up. this is not the 1980s. the space shuttle. luckily the folks at nasa, law enforcement has to be vastly different because things are spacex, elon musk, they've been able to learn from that, vastly different as far as extremist groups. optimize it, refine the design, >> mark, i have to tell you, some of the arson was so pointed and so kind of total, and some make it superefficient. when you make something supper of the crimes committed last refined, it becomes safer and cheaper. it's wonderful. night including but not limited i've got my heart in my throat to, you know, a van drives up to watching each one of these critical steps go by. the federal building in oakland, the first stage, when it california, and opens fire. think about what else might have separated and the vehicle was happened. think about that muddle across stable and as peggy said, 5 miles a second, that's a big our country. threshold to get over. it kind of makes you sick to no one more focused than bob and your stomach. >> yes, it does. doug. the danger is not only to the i'm cheering them on from here. >> chris, veteran pilots protesters, those individuals who come with a particular issue they want to address or raise awareness on, but also to law

sometimes get agita when they enforcement, to civilian look at cockpits. communities that surround a lot of the areas of the protests. there isn't an analog, you know, the dangers are obvious, and it old school mechanical dial or seems like it's really escalating and becoming more gauge in that cockpit. you can't help but they what if uncontrollab you lose electronics to the flat uncontrollable. law enforcement has to develop screen. strategies that address the does it give you any agita how intelligence threats that are out there. modest by comparison how the you have extremist organizations. whether you want to call them dashboard is? right wing or left wing, they're apolo had the entire facing wall to the crew of three, was all disrupters. they don't respect or believe in government. given over to gauges, dials, and they're there to encourage and support civil war. switches. >> peggy and i have both flown you have white sue prem the shuttle. she's a long-time pilot as well. activities who have those types of leanings who will attend the trouble with 500 switches is 500 switches can fail. black lives matter events to if you can make things simple cause chaos and destruction and and as reliable, then you've got to disrupt the first line of a really elegant thing. i've flown airplanes that are

protesters. >> mark, think of how hijacked completely fly-by-wire, nothing you are. if you're in this for all of the mechanical. so long as they're right reasons, if you're there design-worthy, that's what we're off. the simpler the better. because of young black men in not a high-traffic area. there are no trees in the way. the hands of police officers, it's a pretty good application you're in it for the mourning, for a computer-driven system. and you learn that your cause has been hijacked by people a well known environment now. i'm all for it. using you as a vehicle. >> yeah. peggy and i both have flown the very disturbing. i had a conversation with a friend of my family whose young shuttle and soyuz, but both of daughter was going out or really us would itch to be onboard this wanted to take part in some of vehicle as well. the demonstrations surrounding i'm really glad they are. >> peggy, before i give the same the events of mr. floyd, and i question to you, just to tell our viewers, nothing is wrong. had to caution him to be mindful on the right-hand side of the there are extremist groups with screen, the picture you're seeing is one of the marvels, one of the miracles about a legitimate expression of disgust and anger and frustration and to truly reusable spacecraft. be mindful of that. that is a re-entry engine and that should. occur. everyone respects a individual's firing, those are mesh food pads

right to protest and that have flared out on all four demonstrate. we all want to hear what's going sides. those are the clouds of florida on and what's on everyone's you see. and if this camera shot holds, minds. that's understandable. but this isn't the 1980s it's going back. it's going to go back, punch anymore. we're of the age you have to be through the atmosphere, punch mindful of the additional threats out there, even when through the cloud deck, and it's you're going to demonstrate for going to land itself on a barge civil or human rights. to live and take astronauts into >> let me ask you one more space another day. question before we go. so while we watch that process, i don't mean this to sound too on the left-hand side of the simplistic. if people go out today, denver, screen, the astronauts are safely in space and we indeed new york, los angeles, and their hearts are good and they have a sign and they want to join a lost the re-entry shot for a peaceful protest, perhaps moment. afternoon gives way to even, peggy, same question for you, what do people look for or analog versus digital. i know the flat screens depict listen for in the crowd that would tell them that someone with less than a pure heart is digital because that's what it part of the protest group? needs. do you miss any of the old

>> let me be frank with you. stuff. >> not really. the more we modernize our i've attended many, but aircraft, the more it seems natural that our spacecraft would be modernized and go with the glasscock pits. it's important to keep pushing the technology and improve and get us the next step up. i'm really excited to see it. i know our folks, our nasa astronauts and crews were also involved in the development and felt everything was safe and was going to be successful on this mission. you know, we had to do a lot of talking about touchscreens and how to make those most effective. for instance, there's a little ledge the guys put their fingers in to anchor so their hands would touch properly on the screen. there were little things they had to come up with. i'm really excited things seem to be going so mooktly. as you said before, landing stage 1 is hugely critical to

reducing the cost of space flight. i'm so excited that they've been doing it so successfully. >> by the way for those watching, the shot of the rocket on the barge that wasn't there a second ago, no big deal. that's how that's done. it appears there's a t. rex that's made an authorized trip into space with them, at least an inflated version. the idea of astronauts taking trinkets and merch onboard a spacecraft, i won't ask our two astronauts what all they brought into space, it started with allan shepard with the words "let's light this candle. we're on a mission." but back on earth, back on the barge, one of the true mar vave

of spacex, the empire of elon musk who re-imagined the automobile with tesla and now assuming these guys hook up with the international space station, has reimagined space travel, getting americans into space, onboard an american-made spacecraft. i'll throw in my usual advertisement. especially for anyone with young children who may be interested in space flight, go ahead and register your phone with nasa, spot the station, you put in your zip code, and you get a notification every time the space station is going to overfly your area. it's a sight to behold. it's the most notable spot when

it passes over you. it's fascinating to know it's over 220 miles up, give our take, 17,000 miles an hour. chris hadfield, sum up what you're seeing and the nice trick when it lands back on earth. >> you talk about kids. both bob and doug have young kids. i'm sure they brought along the t. rex to show we're suddenlyweightless. the engines have shut off. they're getting rid of the part they didn't need on the way up. so things have gone perfectly. they're in space it. has worked. americans are back in space on an american-made vehicle for the first time in a decade. it's a really big moment. this isn't the end of something. this is a door being kicked open. this is a new technology, a new capability that so many people are going to ride in the future.

i'm so pleased for everybody involved, especially with the trying circumstances in the country right now. to see this level of success of what people can really do together, it's a great moment. >> yeah. you took the words right out of my mouth. we were up late with the coverage last night of some of our great gleaming american cities in flames. we woke up to smoldering embers in those same great cities. we woke up to reports that there are even foreign financed agitators in our midst as part of the population of protesters whose aims though fueled by anger and sadness were a helluva lot more pure than the political motives being alleged today. this gives us a badly needed break. this gives us the chance to

think about something bigger and better than ourselves and those pictures sum it up on the right. again, anyone old enough to remember the grainy pictures from "apollo 11" when they achieved orbit, the grainy pictures from the surface of the moon, now we're watching in high definition, the glasscock pit, the touchscreen panel inside the flying tesla that is the spacex dragon. tom costello covers all things aviation for us. he is at the kennedy space center. well, tom, they did it. >> reporter: yeah. can i just lose all objectivity and say wow, that was cool. you know, it's been nine years since i have stood here for a manned mission. you and i have both been down here at the kennedy space center over the years watching those marvelous shuttle lift-offs from pad 39a.

then we've been in this nine-year pause where the russians were giving americans a ride at the tune of $82,000, $83,000 a seat. it's a great day. what's nice about it, it's a bipartisan great day. i think the whole country rejoices in this. a couple of interesting factoids here, brian. the mission for these two astronauts will last anywhere from one to four months. they don't know. imagine you have to go into space and you don't know how many pair of underwear to bring. they don't know because they want to give this rocket a real good test run. the rocket has separated from dragon. the space ship is on its way to the space station, ronde viewing after a 19-hour trip. they will incrementally increase their pitch and altitude to get

on the same orbit as the international space staying and go into docking mode. that's when all of this comes together and they'll see all of this technology is performing as advertised. keep in mind this is the same spaceship that's been setting up cargo for some time under the spacex brand name, now carrying two americans, bob behnken and doug hurley. it's what this country is about, expertise, science, and something the country can use. by the way, the president and vice president both here today, the president arriving just before this lift-off. really i was afraid he wasn't going to make it in time. he cut it kind of close, but he did arrive. he got to see the lift-off at 3:22. everything hit right on the

money. max q is when you have the maximum lift-off to mecum. and then that signature spacex move if we can celebrate it one more time. nobody does it like space eck. they landed the rocket back down on earth on a barge in the oi . ocean. that's absolutely phenomenal. as they were flying up the east coast, keep in mind this is a shuttle. they can't land if there was an emergency. they would have to abort and the spaceship would parachute into the ocean. they had 1-bravo and on. thankfully they didn't have to execute those. things went off perfectly. back to you. >> tom costello, i have a question about atmospherics.

having been there for the old school rockets and knowing that feeling you got in your chest cavity, the ground shook, what was it like for this? this is not the caliber rocket, the diameter rocket, the thrust of the rocket that you and i grew up watching. >> reporter: yeah. i is 1.7 million pounds of thrust. i've got to tell you. it's been nine years since i stood here for a shuttle lift-off, but this seemed to be awfully powerful. it seemed to rival that. the experience of standing here, the ability to shake and the roar. we heard car alarms going off as is so often the case when you have a rocket lift-off. it was every bit as exciting as the earlier missions. i am not old enough to have

watched apolo in person, but i am certainly an apolo geek. i wish i had. it reminded so many of us of the saturn rocket that used to apolo rockets. >> tom costello, thank you for that, for all of it. it's an exciting day indeed. looking now at nothing but blue sky, that is the -- we just saw for a second the re-entry of -- oh, no. all right. this is replay of the rocket launch without labels. this is tough to watch. if people missed replay, this was coming up on the first stage separation. peggy whitson among the astronauts with us.

peggy, when i was growing up and following the apollo program, before you knew much about the american business and how nasa worked, there were logos often on the side of the screen. you'd see them on pieces of equipment, and they said things like rockwell and things like grummett, and you grow up and learn that the lm was mastered by long island, rockwell did the command module and so on and so forth. this is different than that. the american government is saying, here. here's the mission, you be our contractor. it used to be a lot like a car manufacturer taking dashboard, steering wheel from different contractors. are you bothered by any part of this? >> well, no. not really. i think our future exploration

is going to rely on the fact we have to come up with new ways to integrate commercial industry, the government, our international partnerships. space flight is incredibly expensive, and for exploration to continue, it's got to include new pathways. i think this is a great example of getting this new pathway in work. hopefully we'll have boeing come up as well and also be able to launch from the u.s. because in my mind, we need redundancy. we need more than one capability, and i'm really looking forward to all the future different companies to start playing in the game much more actively. >> chris hadfield, have we just been lucky that we have not needed an instant reaction force, a rescue mission, god forbid, onboard the iss, that maybe this will give us

ready/launch ability in the future as this space program goes forward and folds in with nasa? >> luck is favored. nasa has been working for 25 to 30 years to make that space station as reliable as they possibly can make it. but you're completely right. as far as getting people to the space station, we have had all of our eggs in one basket since the space program retired. this is a huge relief to have a second way to get there. as peggy says, when boeing gets theirs under way, a third way. you don't want to caught on one solution. there has been a lot of preparation and hard work from all the teams to build the international space station.

i'm sure chris who's the commander of the station, he's got to be so excited that they're going to stay one month, maybe four months, pick up the work, do more science, and they've got another way to get home in case there's a serious problem. this is good all the way around. >> chris hadfield, what are they in for? what happens to you and the human body and things like your tummy the first 24 hours up there? >> the second the engine schultz off, you're weightless, and your body is not used to that. it actually starts to recalibrate itself and get ready for it and help you immediately. how does your balance system work when there's no gravity telling you which way is up, when your eyes are telling you something else, when your digestion system, there's nothing pushing down in your

body. everything kind of shifts and changes, and that's starting to happen rapidly to doug's and bob's bodies. it's been ten years since they flew, so their bodies will have forgotten a lot of it. they'll probably have passing motion sickness because their body's confused and they don't know what to make of it. they'll get into the hang of it. we take anti-nauseous meds if you need them. you want to make sure the bodies are ready and the vehicle's ready when they close in late tomorrow morning to come in and dock and open the hatch window to the space station, and then they'll have to face all of that redabation when they come home, when weather it's one month or four months. we're not doing it because it's easy. we're doing it because for the first time in history we can. we have learned huge amount about the station and the human

body. bob and doug are the current two guinea pigs on their way up to the laboratory. >> i'll go ahead and admit to the audience, i could do a six-hour interview with these two guests, but we're getting down to the last few seconds. peggy, i'll ask you first. what part could you do without. >> landing, gravity. i really love all the parts up there. coming back home is really hard on me. some people get sick going uphill. surprisingly i don't. but coming home is a big challenge for me. i really don't look forward to that part ever. >> wow. candor. that's an interesting thought for those of us who have only had gravity in our lives to deal with and have our feet on the ground to set up to face the day. it's fascinating the life you

two have led. thank you for your enthusiasm in cheering on your brand-new colleagues, brand-new space veterans, those who boldly have done something today they've never done before. to both of you, chris had field, peggy whitson, what a great pleasure to be able to talk to you both. thank you for being part of our coverage. to our audience as promised, we get something to attach our sights to that is not here on earth because the circumstance we woke up to across this country today was rather dire, the aftereffect of the violence here. we'll take a break. our coverage will resume right after this. insurance, so you only pay for what you need!

having slipped the surly bonds of earth we're brought back down-to-earth to discussion discussion being we hope we ilquip you for any television viewing your r you're going to do what might be coming tonight and certainly what we saw last night. for that let's bring in former assistant of counter intelligence frank fizz figluzz. what do you fear we are in for

as a result? >> there's evidence developing, brian, that the organization we're seeing of the most violent protesters is coming from a couple of disturbing places. both, by the way, there's disparate in being from the right or the left. here's what those who monitor these groups and sites are seeing. we're seeing a far right group, one group for example known as the bugaloo boys who on their private facebook page and social media outlets are calling for violence, calling for people to show up. we're seeing evidence in the protests that right wing dangerous militia groups are there. we've seen flags and symbols that come from both dangerous militia groups. on the far left we're

global anarchists showing up. these are people whose sole purpose in life -- i've dealt with them in major global economic summits, olympic games, democratic national convention in my fbi career. i know what they're capable of. they show up from around the world at times to simply destroy a city. so we're seeing a strange alignment occurring by some groups who are anti-government on the right and therefore anti-police because they think the police are too oppressive to them aligning themselves with people like black lives matter and saying, hey, we're one because we both don't like the police. but i'm here to tell you they are not one. they're intention is to destroy government and the system of justice as opposed to calling for justice within the system. >> frank, this is so scary because they are -- they have allegiance to nothing and no

one. what do we do about it? >> well, ordinarily we'd rely on our system and mechanisms and rule of law, but here's two things significant that happened today that caused me to be deeply troubled about the summer ahead. the attorney general william barr held a press conference where he chose selectively just the intelligence that indicates there's far left agitators within the protest groups. he politicized intelligence. we shouldn't be surprised by it but we should be disturbed that the whole truth is not getting out about all the groups that pose a threat because that goes toward whether or not law enforcement will take effective action against all groups that are violent and be allowed to take such action. and then the second thing that should disturb us today is within the last hour the president of the united states has tweeted he wants to use the unlimited power of the military with regard to these protests.

well, let me remind our viewers that we have lost in the united states that prevent the military from turning into law enforcement on the streets of america. yet we see a direction of where this is headed. politicizing the intelligence so that only the far left becomes the bad folks here, and then a president who seems inclined to use the military on our streets. >> it's scary stuff. we wanted to equip our audience with this knowledge. thank you for what may be the most important comments made on these airwaves today and in days to come. that's going to do it for this hour of our special live coverage from here on earth to the outer reaches of outer space. my friend elycia menendez picks occupy our live coverage at the top of the hour after this break. e coverage at the top of the hour after this break. something great from mr. clean.
