if we can dump all of that on bill de blasio by blaming bill de blasio and threaten to take over, thatrdinary political feat on his part as well. >> harris: marie, what happens when the democratic party in new york if you get a democratic governor to displace a democratic mayor in the middle of a pandemic and a crisis across the country after the killing of george floyd? what will that political party look like inside that democratic state for the most part in terms of how it votes predominantly? >> new york democrats are their own sort of island in the democratic party. there is a longstanding feud between cuomo and bill de blasio. most democratic governors and mayors are getting good marks right now. this is limited to new york. charlie is right. democrats don't like bill de blasio. this is an issue the democrats and republicans agree on. it's about a number of issues. a lot goes back to the eric garner situation. watching his failure of leadership in the past few months has been xrord. -- extraordinary. democrats are stepping up and saying that. the cuomo and de blasio feud is about

ultimately, a big disagreement here and a lot of pressure on mayor bill de blasio who finds himself with criticism from both sides, has caused increased tension between the police and everybody else here. >> sean: no bill cuomo and no bill de blasio. a great job as always. tonight, no doubt that the left plans to dismantle the police. will have deadly results. however, there are plenty of legitimate reforms. we can teach law enforcement to take two figures. we move it to the side, they will be compliant. simple things, but a lot of people are not trained to do that. elimination of choke hold, absolutely. that is only if your life is in jeopardy. we also need to look for ways to end disparage sentencing and the president has made great strides in that area. we need to seek alternative nonlethal methods at the police can do. take a look at your screen. look at that. no financial interest but i purchased a number of them, yes, full price i paid. now, i met with them and purchased a number of their items. again, this is an alternative. nonlethal. it won't kill people. nonlethal. they shoot s

the church restrictions put in place by new york governor andrew cuomo a new york city mayor bill de blasioere struck down by a federal court earlier today. joining us now with more is an american conservative union chairman matt schlapp, fox news contributor lisa boothe, and a former florida attorney general pam bondi appeared to think you all for joining us here tonight. i wanted to start with you. i have exactly what joe biden from the federal government forced americans to wear a facial covering when they leave their home? how can that be done? >> perhaps it's because he believed that a third of our entire population had died from the covid disease. that was the first thing, but he comes in and tries to do away with every essence of our federal society, our laws, states have the right, local governments have the right to take care of the health, welfare, and safety of individuals. he could care less about that. where castro makes all school-age children where the pioneers are. with going to be next? banning guns? the first words out of his mouth are talking about making every american w

new york city mayor bill de blasio has called for calm. >> we saw stopped last night that we will notccept. we can fight back, and we will fight back. i had confidence in the people of new york city, i have confidence in the leaders in communities, confidence in the nypd. >> let's go to new york. hearing those strong words, hard-line tactics from president trump about potentially deploying the army to deal with this. >> a lot of pushback from new york officials, not just the mayor, bill de blasio, but the governor, andrew cuomo. president trump all day has been tweeting the new york knicks to call in the national guard but officials here say that is not needed, not wise, not good to have outside forces come into the community. already, the mayor had to address certain instances of excessive police use, but he said for the majoritof the police force, they are working with the community, standing, kneeling with protesters, and they want to make sure that with his curfew, they are starng earlier at 8:00, so they can distinguish who is out there remember george floyd and honoring his lega

andrew cuomo hates bill de blasio, de blasio hates andrew cuomo. that is obvious.e criticisms by each of the other are merited. >> martha: unfortunately in the squabbling, it is the people of new york city that have been having to put up with just an incredible amount of lawlessness. things were better last night and we hope that they continue to be better tonight. this is a comment that president trump made talking to brian kilmeade about the management of some of our cities in this country. listen to this. >> you notice that all of these places that our problems are not run by republicans, they are run by liberal democrats. so there is something into that philosophy and they are the ones keeping everybody locked up in their apartments and their homes for too long a period of time, so it is very interesting how that changes. >> martha: ben, what do you say? >> there's no question he is correct about that. bill de blasio five seconds ago was screaming you're going to kill your grandmother if you went out within a 100-foot radius with another person without a mask o

bill de blasio, he was in, he was out.ep the parks and play grounds closed but approved massive protesting. members of the jewish community cut the looks off of their neighborhood parks. they said they need a place for children to place. mayor de blasio says this is about spreading coronavirus. watch. >> people are not allowed to open a playground yet available to the public. if folks acted maturely and caused the disease to start spreading a again, it would undermine our ability to get to phase two. >> harris: i want our team to pop up that "new york post" cover. if you have a doubt about it, the pictures say a lot. sick hypocrisy is what the headline reads. look at the pictures. this is fine. protesting, no social distancing. not everybody wearing masks. can't count them from here because the crowd is so big, this is dangerous. far fewer people there. roger, i come to you. i know it's hard. it's hard. you don't have a constitutional right to go to a park. but you can peacefully protest. i get it. but then how do you say

even andrew cuomo believes is a disgrace at this point, referred maybe to getting bill de blasio replaced as mayor, so everybody sort of understands what de blasio is. >> laura: victor, earlier today on twitter, the george bush presidential library -- do we have him, or no? we lost victor. there you are. the george bush presidential library, which tweets for president bush sent out a statement about basically empathizing with the protesters and coming it was kind of fine, but it was sleights of trump without mentioning trump and i -- as i talked to myself, wait a second, who was -- all these wars we got into it and then of course outsourcing all these jobs to china. trump comes in and says i want to but american workers first, including the people who are most disadvantaged. and so while obama and bush and all these guys are piling on right now in their own way, donald trump has delivered the results for the african-american community like no president i've seen in a long, long time. >> very quickly, laura. when he got the unappointed rate down to 5.4 for african-americans, that was an em

the church restrictions put in place by new york governor andrew cuomo and new york city mayor bill de blasioere struck down by a federal court earlier today. joining us now with more is american conservative union chairman matt schlapp, fox news contributor lisa boothe, and former florida attorney general pam bondi. thank you allpa for joining us here tonight. attorney general bondi, i want to start with you. how exactly would joe biden from the federal government forced americans to wear a facial covering when they leave their home? >> well, jason, because he believes that it's because a population died of the speed 26 disease. then he comes away and try to do away with every asset of our federalist society, or laws that state local governments have the right to take care of the health, welfare, safety of individuals but he could care less about that. in cuba where castro makes all school-age children go to pioneer's class. what's next? banning guns? he's falling words out of his mouth talking about making every american wear masks.as again, that's going to be just like you said, that socia

and the other point is this, bill de blasio, he can do something about this, juan condemned it, so didlasio, he runs the police force. to tell them the police crackdown and then we can have enough of it. because i want you to be in a better mood, greg. >> greg: it's hard. i was going to ask dagan if she wants to buy an apartment in a really quiet neighborhood? >> dagen: you are trying to be funny and i love you, but you know what, there is no telling how much the price of that apartment is going to collapse with what has gone on in terms of the lock down in the city. half of the restaurants probably will never come back in the destruction of jobs in leisure, hospitality, and all of the looting that has gone on, you will see unemployment that could be upward of 30 percent for a very long time. but one really quick thing in terms i wanted to mention, governor cuomo can do something rather than laying the hammer down on bill de blasio and the police force that is call out the national guard with their 13,000, in said he likes to talk and not act, meanwhile new york burns. >> greg: coming

this week an unprecedented effort by hundreds of former and current staffers of bill de blasio protesting him, calling on him to do more to reform the police. at least one senior aide has already defected reportedly over de blasio's defense with police tactics. the staffers and protesters are pressuring de blasio to defund the nypd by $1 billion. the nypd budget is $5.5 billion or about 6% of the city's budget. so far de blasio and nypd commissioner have agreed to move unspecified amount from nypd to youth services. but today, the mayor acknowledged he is defining the police department at a time with increased crime and the city. last week there were 40 homicides, the highest since 2015. >> we have seen and the last weeks some very troubling indicators of crime rising. and it is rising in the same communities often that are hardest hit by the coronavirus and the economic crisis so we cannot allow people to on top of everything else not feel safe. we've got to figure out what that balances. >> we had a conversation with the nypd, how will we keep people safer? >> while the mayor moves to d

will come pick you up and take you in. >> thank you for that report. >>> the new york city mayor bill de blasio the phone. mayor de blasio, thank you very much for joining us tonight. >> my pleasure. lawrence, how are you doing? >> well, it is a difficult night i think all over this country. we have tonight 1,836,845 cases of coronavirus. we have 106,742 deaths. now 107,852 deaths from coronavirus tonight. just over a week ago, or about a week ago, you thought that was the only crisis you would be dealing with tonight in your city. how are you dealing with the intersection of these large protests, these large gatherings of people, and your need to control the spread of coronavirus in new york city? >> yeah, lawrence, it's like a perfect storm wrapped in another perfect storm. the reality is the essence of all of this is the coronavirus. this is what has caused, before even the murder of george floyd, so much anger, frustration over disparity, so much anger and frustration because people have lost jobs, lost livelihoods and then just been cooped up for months. it is that combination of features

i don't know if you caught it, but governor cuomo was so upset with bill de blasio coming his head i'm going to displease him, i don't know how that will work, is that we mean? >> we are not going to let seattle be occupied by anarchists. and i'm not calling the protesters -- i am i got to see a performance that i have never seen. i mean, you think that he was a weak person in minneapolis? a woman, i don't know, has she ever done this before? >> martha: mean in seattle? >> we are not going to let this happen in seattle, if we have to go in, we are going to go in. the governor could do it if he has a great national guard troops, he can do it. one way or the other it is going to get done. people are not going to occupy a major portion of a great city. >> you know, martha, one of the things that struck me in the interview was how open the president was to talking about some of the tougher issues. and you know, it was time to press on some of those issues, because while he has touched on certain things, he has not done that traditional, which sometimes we will see from presidents oval offi

joining us now with this and more is new york city mayor bill de blasio. mr.e you this morning. i can see your excitement at the concept and prospect at reopening. you're not alone, lots of people are excited. not to be a wet blanket, but this morning, mr. mayor, as you look at the national map of the majority of states going in the wrong direction, are you also nervous at the prospect of what could happen in new york and if it could boomerang back here? >> yeah, alisyn, excited but nervous is the right way to think about it. we have been through hell. you know it. new york city went through so much. we're finally making a really strong comeback. it's exciting, it's a great feeling. we have outdoor dining happening. a lot of businesses coming back and yet, we're looking at states around our country, most states, seem to be having more and more trouble and that makes me worry. so we watch the data every single day, alisyn. i think this was the mistake bluntly some places made, whether it was politics or some other consideration rather than based on the data. we

we'll take our own action. >> new york mayor bill de blasio.e appreciate it. >> thank you, lawrence. >> when we come back, do nota beasley marched with martin luther king jr. in 1962. and she marched in louisville again today. that's next. louisville again today. that's next. when you shop with wayfair, you spend less and get way more. so you can bring your vision to life and save in more ways than one. for small prices, you can build big dreams. spend less, get way more. shop everything home at wayfair today. ♪[ siren ] & doug give me your hand! i can save you... lots of money with liberty mutual! we customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ sprinting past every leak in our softest, smoothest fabric. she's confident, protected, her strength respected. depend. the only thing stronger than us, is you. i was drowning in credit card debt. sofi helped me pay off twenty-three thousand dollars of credit card debt. they helped me consolidate all of that into one

can't be allowed to die in vain. >> harris: that's been a tough week for new york city mayor bill de blasioge in a memorial service in brooklyn, new york. the nypd is cracking down on curfew violations following a week of looting and violence. bill de blasio says he understands their frustration. >> the crowd was angry and hurt and doubted whether this could be change. you will see change in the city. you will see change in the nypd. we simply have not gone far enough. >> harris: this comes after governor andrew cuomo and former new york city mayor rudy giuliani went after de blasio's handling of the rioters and the looters. >> the nypd and the mayor did not do their job last night. i believe the mayor underestimates the scope of the problem. my option is to displace the mayor of new york city and bring in the national guard. >> de blasio is incompetent. the governor should replace him. >> harris: i want to bring in the power panel. richard from the new leader's council and a professor. both fox news contributors. displace the mayor in your largest city in your state? that's what cuomo said

nirvana as where the nypd is not if you remember, those police officers who turned their backs on bill de blasiofuneral for a fallen brother of theirs and bill de blasio sucks. everything about him sucks. his policies sucked or decamped from the city. he is a horrible may your. he has put this city on a collision course with long-term disaster and shame on him for that. yes, we are going through a tough time, we are going to go through a tough time as we have difficult conversations, but we need real confident leadership. politicians who don't care abou being reelected, who aren't servicing lobbyist and masters. we don't have that right now. you can look to new york city a this dark beacon for the rest o the country. other than that i think it's great. >> at least you tell us how you really feel. there is no question about it and we appreciate that. >> i always wonder with kennedy. >> i think it is sad and depressing. i have loved living here, but the last several months have been awful. you would always feel safe walking after the sun went down. ladies, there were so few peopl on the sidewalks

old man bill de blasio is addressing the press it's already underway let's listen in right now we need to be speedy reviews discipline must be meted out in any case where it is merited we need to show the people of this city that there is one standard that and i got this when i've talked to community leaders and community members this is the nagging deep complaint this sense of double standard and it can't go on the vast majority of officers do their job do their job well the vast majority of officers are trying to connect to communities and do the right thing there in this job for the right reason there are some who do not belong on this job . and there are some that use violence when they shouldn't there are some they're disrespectful to the people that serve there are some that harbor racism in their hearts these people should not be in the police force and it's our job to get them out so any situation where an officer does something even in the context of a protest in a tense situation they do something offensive and inappropriate there must be immediate investigation it must be th

the reason why mayor bill de blasio is saying no more curfew. when the curfew at 8:00 would come, that's when you saw the most conflict between the police and protesters. now you are seeing the crowd just dispersing. throughout the day, all the protests i've been seeing has been a real message of unification and they want real police reform. the mayor announcing some of the plans being put into place. moving some money away from nypd to youth programs, repealing 50 a a law that censors records of police officers. also protesters wanting to address systemic racism in this country which is a really big ask. they're going to continue to fight for it and come out. as i spoke to kids earlier today they said they're going to march every single day until they see real systemic change in this country. joshua. >> thank you, let's head to los angeles and check in with nbc's jacob sillerof. there had been a crowd on hollywood boulevard earlier today. they've talked about reducing money to the lapd. what do you hear them talking about? >> josh, i'm not sure

and did bill de blasio, nypd drop the ball?well, the governor feels that is the case but the mayor and the leadership of the nypd do not feel that is the case. nypd clearly indicates they have a difficult time dealing with the widespread looting and violence they are experiencing. those strong differences of opinion, what you saw in new york last night, some of the more iconic buildings and images in america, macy's, the thanksgiving parade, the fireworks every year. probably more attention paid to that. but that looting and violence is occurring in every city in america. santa monica was featured over the weekend. philadelphia. it is a plague at the moment that is afflicting every city in this country. >> you know, commissioner, i was in d.c. for a few nights. and last night, it was markedly quieter than the previous nights. say whatever you want about the tactics of law eneforcement there. whatever they did last night appeared to be more e effective, extending the perimeter, being more aggressive with demonstrators and protes

mass incarceration continues to grow and look i'm going on this point we have governor cuomo and bill de blasio baltimore kratz who has been the most violent police interactions in the last 3 days have been there and why p.d. bill de blasio a democrat only daughter was arrested at the protest and that and him and cuomo still chose to send $5000.00 extra police in there yesterday ok. didn't do that the republicans didn't do that but a democratic governor and mayor did that in our state and our city. while we talk about the diverse people that are taking part in these protests they're all demanding an end to discrimination and police brutality and some of them say they'll keep pushing until change happens american people not only just the black community but americans are tired of everything that's gone on the injustices going on in our country well police brutality and everything so we need to make a change we are here to tell president trauma that we want a change and we need to have reform the police have gone away with a lot of action and because there's never any justice served there's never

established and even the black mayors the democrat here in new york city we have a new group bill de blasio liberal mayor. but they often go back on the same pro status meant troops when something like this happened so over the weekend too there were 2 incidents of police vehicles driving into a crowd of protesters and the blasio he backtracked later going to 1st he disbanded the police he said if you're tat least you're attacking everyone. he made statements in favor of them and the police hate him despite all his genuflecting that's another issue but most of these mayors are pro establishment and they work within the system that. the larger system that as we just talked about doesn't work for anybody so they and the do i believe republicans and democrats that also is not always not such a clean dividing line blasio has gotten in trouble for taking campaign money from anybody from everybody so we see in new york politicians like our mayor bill de blasio who markets him self as a liberal that was his whole campaign slogan the tale of 2 cities he was going to do better for working people and

blasio, mayor bill de blasio's 25-year-old daughter. she was arrested at a protest in downtown manhattan. she has since been released. in new york and minneapolis, protesters cheered for unionized bus drivers who refused to transport arrested protesters to jails. in columbus, ohio, three government officials were pepper sprayed by police saturday morning. city council president shannon hardin, franklin county commissioner kevin boyce, and congressmember joyce beatty -- all of them black had stepped in , to de-escalate a scuffle. in seattle, washington, disturbing images of a child who was apparently maced by a police officer has provoked outrage. social media photos and video show the nine-year old girl in obvious distress crying as , adults around her pour milk on her face to help alleviate the pain. in washington, d.c., secret service confronted protesters outside the white house. officials say president trump took refuge in the white house bunker for an hour friday night as hundreds protested. this is a protester speaking saturday in

new york city's mayor bill de blasio under fire this morning for his handling of the city-wide protestsat's next, with former mayor rudy giuliani. >> maria: welcome back. new york city mayor bill de blasio today lifting the city-wide curfew after 10 straight nights of protests. de blasio's been taking heat from all sides over his handling of the george floyd demonstrations. many calling on him to resign. last week former new york city mayor rudy giuliani joined me on memoriaonmorning with maria on x business. watch this. >> the mayor should step down. he is incompetent. we are losing a tremendous amount of property, we are seeing people damaged and hurt seriously and pretty soon we're going to lose lives, if this man doesn't get out of the way and let someone activate the police department. >> maria: joining me right now once again is rudy giuliani. good to see you this morning. thanks for joining us. no sign that de blasio is going to step down. is new york safe? >> no. it's safer. i mean, he did react to what i said and what the governor said and a number of other people, wasn't just

so we see in new york politicians like our mayor bill de blasio who markets him self as a liberal that was his whole campaign slogan a tale of 2 cities he was going to do better for working people and so forth he made a big deal about having an interracial family but when this these demonstrations started he turned into the status mint all the titian again very pro chris even after police broke into a crowd 2 instances of that he defended them then he had to backtrack now there's a curfew. last night you had a curfew in new york you have to be inside by 888 pm or we can be arrested so a lot of these labels. democratic politicians are not any thing that we can say is really let let's talk about labels here jason what is the difference between prosthetics and protesting and rioting and looting because i see the liberal media really you know it's. basically peaceful protesting but then there's tons of footage of extreme violence and looting and destruction i mean it seems to me that they're trying to invent language in a normal well in ways that basically everything's fine and everyone's

mayor bill de blasio in a surprise move lifted the city-wide curfew a day early.ut there are still calls for him to resign over his handling of the heated clashes between police an protesters. demonstrations over the death of george floyd reaching a violent climate, now one week ago, more protesters scheduled across the city today. staying in new york city, a violent confrontation over the weekend, a man caught on camera allegedly driving his suv into people at a george floyd demonstration. this was in brooklyn. watch. [crowd noises] cheryl: you saw it there, protesters scream for the man to stop after his vehicle jumped the curb and took off. one person was injured. the driver has been charged with reckless endangerment. now to seattle, police shot and arrested a man after he allegedly drove his car toward protesters, hit a police station barricade and jumped out waving a pistol. a 27-year-old bystander shot by the driver apparently while trying to stop him. well, the former minneapolis cop caught on camera kneeling on george floyd's neck is due back in court tod

when the mayor bill de blasio steps to the podium, we will take him live. amid the concerns of violent protests and national divisiveness, there is wary about how the ongoing demonstrations could affect the coronavirus pandemic. some health officials warn us to expect an uptick in new cases within the next two weeks due to the mass gatherings we have been witnessing across the country. with us now via skype is pathologist roger klein. doctor, you look at these protests and look at all the people so tightly together, as a doctor who worries about these type of things, what do you think healthwise? >> thanks for having me. so it's obviously a concern. we still have coronavirus and it is out there and you have people in close proximity. we are going to learn how easily it spreads outside. but we look back to new orleans and mardi gras, the outbreak there was attributed to crowds moving together at mardi gras. it's a concern. >> trace: but it is you mention outside, it's been one of those touch points, when you're inside, all the studies coming out of wuhan, in

looking back at what governor cuomo said which harris mentioned at the top of the show, blaming bill de blasioork police department for "not doing their job" last night and then rewind in your head what you saw when that officer was run over in the middle of the street and you've also about these issues in buffalo, just yesterday, on monday governor cuomo said i've got 13,000 national guard at the ready, as soon as they are needed i'm going to send them in. governor, his -- this is going to force a serious reevaluation of his choices. he's telling the president no thank you and he's got three officers who are injured because they are struggling to do their job and keep the peace and they need backup like we are seeing in other places like atlanta and minneapolis where the national guard is helping to quell the violence. he needs to get control of the city, get control of the state and he needs to do it now. >> melissa: harris, martha brings up an interesting point because if you think about new york city, what we've heard for the past year is this huge divide between the mayor who is supposedl

jillian: this as mayor bill de blasio and other cities look to defund the police.ur next guest is a former nypd detective who says the moves are purely political. he joins us live. a lot of folks ask me why their dishwasher doesn't get everything clean. i tell them, it may be your detergent... that's why more dishwasher brands recommend cascade platinum... ...with the soaking, scrubbing and rinsing built right in. for sparkling-clean dishes, the first time. cascade platinum. feeling heavy? probioslim promotes healthy digestion and helps you lose weight. patented probiotics ease constipation, gas, and bloating, while powerful egcg burns fat and calories. unleash your potential with probioslim, the #1 probiotic fat burner at walmart. >> this council is going to dismantle this police department. >> we should and can abolish our current minneapolis police system. >> our commitment is to end our city's toxic relationship with the minneapolis police department, to end policing as we know it. rob: the minneapolis city council pushing forward to disband their police depart

new york city and bill de blasio said he doesn't want the national guard.istancing itself from president trump's better to rely on the national guard. some active duty forces have been in place on heightened alert in washington but first tell us the defense department would pever other options to restore law and order. and the killing of george floyd, it will investigate practices and policies over the last decade to determine if it has discrimination. and brutality against minorities. and google is facing a lawsuit for collecting vast amounts of information about internet users even if they are sharing data. nd by google google tools that yeefer rides tools. it will defend itself vigorously. >> look at markets right now. gains asia-pacific, 2% in inneice yeah and hong kong recupes the the national security bill. and pointing positive despite the fact that we are facing a major cyclone and continuing to weaken and you are seeing most of that and stocks and look at he the yen, signal is on the yen and slumping and see the kiwi. and the euro is at three-month

he is going the leftist ways trying to get elected the next go around. >> harris: liken him to bill de blasio't like bill de blasio. they would like to displace him. j.j. watt, also an nfl player says that this is not about the anthem or the flag. how do you peacefully protest inside the nfl or anywhere other than taking a knee? can you show that? >> this is what the left does, they make you feel guilty. it is about the flag. man, started with the flag with marxist, a communist who talked about pigs and the race of our country, this is the greatest country in the history. my wife says don't let your white guilt destroy my race. we have black kids that are trying to find leadership, because we don't have it anymore. democratic paws are taking followers out of their own home. stand up, man up, demonstrate some other time. to demonstrate when everybody is coming together and says, let's work on the deal to get it tied down. not when the flag is flying, not when we understand how much we are paid for the price. come together for once, and one time not worry about politics. >> harris: i remember w

but despite some new york city mayor bill de blasio calls it progress we saw a very very different picture around new york city last night we still have more work to do like the affirm that right up front mayor bill de blasio doubling down on the citywide curfew which will stay in place for the rest of the week however continues to reject urging from president trump and an offer from governor andrew cuomo to bring in the national guard reporting in new york trinity charges are. all right it's a photo that hasn't left the spotlight if anything it's made things worse this photo taken behind me monday afternoon in front of the historic st john's church has a top pentagon adviser publicly resigning now so here to talk more on that fallout from that you were just there moments before that picture was taken monday right and actually if we had left 5 minutes later monella we would have been by photographer i would have been in the middle of those those gas canisters and flash bangs that actually went off to move the protesters away from the white house and st john's church across the street but t
