jedediah: yeah.ome polling is showing that warren would be the favorite among some democrats if he were to choose a female and i'm not sure how well would that would gore him. obviously on record as a pretty far left person. i don't know how that would resonate with independent voters and others around the country who are a little more centrist. i want to ask you about the terror reed allegations that have come out. obviously this is post or still the midst of the me too movement. a lot of questions about a double standard, obviously. with respect to biden and the way kavanaugh was treated. listen to what biden had to say on voters who believe reade. this is from msnbc on thursday. >> i think they should vote their heart. if they believe tara reade they probably shouldn't vote for me. i wouldn't vote for me if i believed tara reade. jedediah: what do you think, lisa? >> well, i mean, i agree with him. i don't think voters should vote for him. but, look, as you pointed out, there is a clear double sta

jedediah: no.ctually the health protocol should be people should be allowed to sunbathe getting vitamin-d is important for your immune system. i don't understand why, if you are distant, putting is being feet between you and someone else, six feet or more, why do you also need to wear the masks. that confuses me. i tell you the truth, when i was wearing those masks, outside, when i was around no one, i wasn't able to breathe well. my lungs were bothering me more. i wound up taking it down when no one is in sight. when no one is around you, what is the difference? why can't you breathe fresh air. some of these protocols don't make any sense. griff: i will say when we opened the show and show people surfing and catching waves, i know right there that is a sign we are back, we are coming back. we are reopening and that is going to be a step forward we have long been waiting for after three long months. pete: does it get more paternalistic, do not bathe or sunbathe but etch boos are open. it is memoria

jedediah: yeah. pete: we are glad they are here. jedediah: yes. pete: it's been a big week. we led with it out the gate as we should. joe biden did an interview with char la main he hosts a show called the breakfast club on friday morning it. wasn't soft. a lot of questions to the former vice president. it was one question and one answer in particular that has a lot of people talking this morning with the vice president's response, here's what he had to say. >> listen, you got to come see us when you come to new york v.p. biden. >> i. >> it's a long way until november. we have got more questions. >> you got more questions. i tell anybody if you have a problem figuring out whether you are for moore me or for trump then you ain't black. >> it ain't got nothing to do with trump. it means i want something for my community. >> take a look at my record, man. i extended the voting act 25 years. i have a record that is second to none. the naacp has endorsed me every time i have run. i mean, come on, take a l

jedediah: yeah. it lists i think important, you know, i live in new york city. we report out of new york city. so we're very plugged into what is epicenter for the virus. people around the country i make an effort to talk to don't live in an epicenter. that haven't seen a lot of cases, haven't had a lot of restrictions placed on them, seemed explicable to them. we have to treat this on case-by-case basis. when you look at these states, look at cities, you look at numbers. if that is location not heavily impacted, those people are eager, hungry to open businesses to near full effect, that has to be treated differently than a location like a manhattan for example, which was hit very hard by the virus. people need to understand that i think it would behoove a lot of people in the media that operate places like washington, d.c., new york, talk to people around the country, feel unique pain hit by virus, turning on tv why some policies are applied to us when we're not in congested area. we have not faced

jedediah: yeah. i'm hearing from some of the bright sparks out there is property is replaceable. really, property is replaceable? some of these people have worked their entire lives for those business. how do you expect, if those businesses go up in flames, how do you expect those people to put food on the table for their families? you can care about two things. you can care about george floyd, and unjust manner he is killed. at the same time you can care about the massive he do instruction being done by rioters around this country who have gotten away with this because of a lack of leadership at local level, those two things can coexist. griff: those businesses were already being threatened by not only covid but by the economic pressures now. many of their businesses being burned down. this is why i say president trump, it is a good start. cape canaveral, now take it to the oval office, give us both reassurances this will not be tolerated any force necessary will be used to restore order and to assu

jedediah: yeah.usly, people around the world unanimously, people at our network and everywhere condemning all violence that emerges. thank you for being here. we appreciate your take. we will continue to follow the story. thank you so much. >> thank you. jedediah: coming up, president trump and the pentagon calling on the army to have its military police on stand by and ready to head into minneapolis. dr. darrin porcher is an nypd detective and served in the army and says this lawlessness cannot be tolerated. he is going to join us next.

what is it that america has failed -- jedediah: in a new op-ed, our next guest, the niece of martin luther king, jr. calls to heed the words of her uncle and end violence and racism. alveda king joins us now. welcome to the show. thank you for being here. obviously such a distressing time in our country now what we've seen going on. not only the unjust act on george floyd but do you have advice how to bring the communities together and some level of peace amid the horrific images we're seeing emerge. >> good morning. thank you that you would ask the question that way. the world is still reeling from covid-19. america is just shaken by the te death of george employed. now, today is a special day. it is calledp pentacost. people of faith would get that. we need an anchor. i believe if my uncle, dr. martin luther king, jr., he would say, do not fear, have faith in god. now that particular quote you violence being language of the unheard, it is only language of the unheard. we need leaders to hear. i believe the president is doing, talking to all the families. i believe that. he is not the onl

jedediah: we've been talking about the importance of local leadership and i looked this morning and i said to myself, we've been in such crisis mode in new york city, it's been such a terrible time, to have poor leadership between the coronavirus, the shutdown and what's going on with the riots and bill de blasio never disappoints in terms of his perception of how to handle things. what you need is strong leadership, who recognizes that lawlessness cannot be tolerated. you have to go right from the start -- you cannot allow that to gain headway, to cycle its way through the community or you will not be able to control it. you will lose authority. you have to let people know that if they behave as such, if they exhibit violence, that it will not be tolerated. that's what strong leadership looks like in a time of crisis. griff: that's exactly right, jed. what mayor de blasio should have said is we will use whatever force is necessary to restore order to the city. the president tweeting yesterday as well on it. here's what the president tweeted. he said let new york's finest be new york'

jedediah: you're right and a lot of people are writing saying where are the peaceful protester s i don't see them and the answer is a lot of them are afraid. there were many people who wanted to come out and peaceful ly protest in new york city and los angeles and other cities to defend the rights of the family of george floyd to holdup his honor to fight against injustice and now they are afraid to do that because they see what's happening on the streets and they are afraid to risk their own lives and the question is when you look at those crowds how many of those people are actually there to just simply agitate? we talked to ben watson former nfl player and he weighed in on just that. take a listen. >> the reason why these things started happened because george floyd was killed by a police officer. i think you'll see an end to this type of unrest and that's uncomfortable for everybody. police officers do great work. look, we want our police officer s to be safe, but people are tired of seeing things happen over and over again and you're seeing enough. look some people aren't there for

jedediah: sad news.ing up, governors in nearly a dozen states activating the national guard to help local police control the riots. iraq warran war veteran rob smis us next to discuss. keeping me from the things i love to do. talk to your doctor, and call 844-214-2424. so here's to the strong, who trust in our performance and comfortable, long-lasting protection. because your strength is supported by ours. depend. the only thing stronger than us, is you. because your strength is supported by ours. that gives me cash back onesome new aeverything.akuten that's ebates. i get cash back on electronics, travel, clothes. you're talking about ebates. i can't stop talking about rakuten. pretty good deal - peter sfx [blender] ebates is now rakuten, sign up today. the xfinity voice remote will find exactly that.for, happy stuff. the group's happy, i'm happy. you can even say a famous movie quote and it will know the right movie. circle of trust, greg. relax, the needles are jumping. you can learn something new any

jedediah: now, of course, several key issues that are important in the country right now, the economy being key. so, you have five other primary candidates that you have to kind of beat before you can get to charlie crist who we know, you know, basically every day stands for something different depending on what the public wants to hear. so what makes you different from those other primary candidates? why should people say well this candidate really gets what's going on in the country and is going to help me in my situation? >> sure. well, i think it's important to understand that we need to have a congress that is controlled by republicans. i think what people have seen is they are tired of nancy pelosi having the gavel. they are tired of the constant going after our president, the impeachment, the investigation. and they want to see someone who understands the process and can go through that and really be

jedediah: that's exactly right and we're always talking about the role of government on this show. there are so many things allowed into government that government shouldn't be doing and one role government should have it actually doesn't do. so it's incredible to see that. like the hope is lessons are learned though. the hope is lessoned are learned first and foremost that nothing like this happens again and you don't have the death of someone in the matter that george floyd died which was completely unjust and if something horrific happens that you have leon the ground empowered by the mayors empowered by the governors to do their job of protecting those citizens and if they don't wait it out until the trouble becomes so gruesome it's hard to contain. pete: here is a lesson to learn don't let the mob take over your police pre significant because when they do they're empowered that's why because once you let the cat out of the bag you can't put it back in and minneapolis did a better job last night but other cities are now suffering from their mistakes and it's terrible. griff: at

jedediah: the whole idea of the protests initially were to talk about justice for george floyd and that has completely vanished. instead we see the people who are just destroying. i don't understand when you look at these images, i don't understand how it is allowed to get to that point. i cannot wrap my head around mayors or any type of leader who says, give them a little bit of room. no, the second you see any violence emerge, you can give protesters that are non-violent, that are peaceful as much room as you want and you should. the second you see any violence you absolutely must act. you don't sit around to wait and it become as impossible job for men and women in uniform on the ground to get control of the situation to protect people. it is madness what is going on in new york city. pete: why does it happen, leaders lie to themselves and lie to the people. governor waltz blamed the cartels and. you have to be honest in order to confront it. griff: talk about honesty. we'll see if mayor de blasio chooses to release a figure of the economic damage these rioters did to businesses in n

jedediah: when you have the lack of leadership at local level that will make presidential leadership even more important. president trump is vowing to stop the mob violence and riots over george floyd's death, a dallas man who confronted protesters with a machete to protect his neighborhood is assaulted by a group of protesters. president trump will have to come out. he will have to speak. he will have to, he is going to have to make a strong statement here because a lot of individuals at the local level who should be doing their jobs are not. take a listen to president trump on the mob violence. >> the mobs are devastating the life's work of good people and destroying their dreams. my administration will stop mob violence. in america justice is never achieved at the hands of an angry mob. we will stand with the family of george floyd, with the peaceful protesters and with every law-abiding citizen who wants decency, civility and safety and security. we are working toward a more just society but that means building up, not tearing down. pete: of course the president is entirely corre

jedediah: we are back with a fox news alert. a fifth night of unrest and destruction in america as rioters ravage cities across the country following the death of george floyd. our next guest is pleading with protesters to take a step back and see the other side. griff: joining us now is the author of under our of skin, watson. good morning, ben. >> good morning. griff: what do you make as we wake up after a fifth night of violence and destruction? >> well, i think my message is more for america, actually, and when we watch what's going on and when we see everything that's happening, we all have a reaction. but a full look in the mirror -- a fool looks in the mirror and walks away unchanged. this is a time in america that is very, very important. we would be foolish to walk away from this time unchanged. it's uncouple bent upon all of us to address why these things happen. we need to seek truth, all of us need to seek truth, not what our pride tells us, not our opinion about ourselves or someone else, we need to see truth and ju

jedediah: ben, i want to ask you about the nfl commissioner, roger goodell, released the following statement. it says as current events dramatically underscore, there remains much more to do as a country and as a league. the tragedies inform the nfl's commitment and ongoing efforts, there remains an urgent need for action. we recognize the power of our platform in communities and as part of the fabric of american society, we embrace that responsibility and are committed to continuing the important work to address these systemic issues together and with our players, clubs and partners. what can the role of the nfl be potentially in trying to heal this divide? >> i think we've seen it in the last several days. our league is 60% black. the only reason why i bring that up is because there are so many players that have been affected on a deep, personal level by

jedediah: yeah there's been a domino effect as well because no one seems to have learned the lessons from what happened in minneapolis. you saw that delayed reaction from the mayor from the governor , in minnesota and you would think that places like new york city, places like los angeles would have observed that learned and said listen, the second these protests turned violent, action needs to be taken we need to empower that law enforcement to let people know that they are entitled to peacefully protest and we want to encourage that because what happened to george floyd was horrific and we all join in unison on that point, that that was a horrific death that did not need to happen; however the second you see violence en you ensuing, law enforcement needs to be able to react to that, and if you wait too long, then you see what happens in a place like minneapolis. it's amazing to me but we elected these people, we elect these mayors and governors and they essentially when chaos strikes so many are completely useless. pete: they are more than useless , jed because they are talking to

i have don't know -- jedediah: sad to see the situation escalate the way it has. what was supposed to be peaceful protests advocating for justice for george floyd and his family have turned into massive riots, destroying businesses, destroying people's livelihoods. you're seeing on display a lack of local leadership in many cases from mayors an governors who are not stepping up immediately to defend the law and to advocate against lawlessness. it is escalating situation where we've been watching for the last couple days. you see a lot of images, video, businesses, homes, a lot of destruction. literally up in flames in many cases, really, really disturbing stuff going on. pete: you see a leadership clown show. these are fundamentally unserious people, democrat mayors trying to placate what they say were protesters days beyond the protests stopped and riots had began. especially in minneapolis, mayor jacob frey has been like a deer in the headlights this entire time, unable, never had a real job in his life. now he has riots and police precincts taken over couple da

jedediah: i was just in the break. pete: go ahead, please. jedediah: just lki a

jedediah: yeah.ere who may or may not cooperate but it's been pretty amazing. i first off want to wish everyone a happy mother's day, my mom happy mother's day, all the moms out there. it's kind of a surreal time to celebrate mother's day especially with what's going on. can't unfortunately see my mom in person just yet. i've been a little overly cautious with my parents right now now but we do a lot of zooms and we do a lot of facetimes and this is my little nugget. as you may notice he has grown quite a bit and he's doing really well, and it's just -- it's really surreal to be someone's mom. you find yourself in a position where you look at life completely differently and suddenly everything you didn't worry about before you worry about now 'cause you have someone else to think about. but he has -- he's managed to get my priorities in order faster than anyone else in my will you identify ever has so it's been really great and i just hope all the moms out there even it's a really difficult time find

jedediah: that could force people to leave the big apple and head to the jersey sho.

i am thinking of the bavarian illuminati thing that is surrounding the sedition act along with jedediah morse responsible for teaching kids the geography of the united first states and making them good, responsible americans, he is convinced the bavarian illuminati has created the french revolution and is now going to like -- has designs on the united states, and there's this conspiratorial thing even among people who are committed to rational deliberation. there's another illuminati, the new england illuminati, this episcopal priest comes up with the idea that the new england illuminati is distorting truth and distorting people's understanding of what is and is not real through churches and universities. and that is the new england illuminati. there is this underlying current of mistrust in the press and in media by people who otherwise i think would kind of agree with the proposition that john began with. >> the connection between conspiracy theories and the lack of trust in the political culture is a -- that's one symptom, right? when the conspiracy theories start to bloom, it is a s

jedediah: fun show today thank you guys for joining us i had a blast. pete: go to the beach and if you want to be a rebel maybe bring a football. have a great saturday, everybody . neil: all right, the theme right now in new orleans, louisiana reopening today or at least trying to get restaurants going, some retail operations going, this is cincinnati is doing the same but when you think about new orleans and what it was dealing with a little more than six weeks ago when it was suddenly getting to be a hot bed of cases of coronavirus and deaths the spike has come down, the numbers have improved and now the city is beginning the reopening. welcome, everybody i'm neil cavuto. you're watching cavuto live hope your weekend is starting off on a right foot. we've got 45 states right now that are in the process of continuing reopening, we're just starting them, and the other five states, they're in some stage of looking at plans that by early next week, we'll have virtually everyone in this country beginning the process of unwinding restrictions that have been

ainsley: jedediah is coming back. jillian: and i will be watching, brian. brian: that's great.illian: story we continue to follow. charged ahmaud are a entery's murder. >> we are asking everybody who is following this case, who is reading about it, who is reading about it piecemeal. who are forming opinions without knowing all the facts to just take a breath. because the facts will come out. all of the facts will come out. jillian: that's the attorney for travis mcmichael. he and his father are accused of shooting and killing arbery on a road in february. mcmichaels say they thought he was a burglar. are a entery's family says he was out on a josmght arrest warrants issued overnight for two players arrested for robbery. dion baker and seahawks quarterback wanted in florida. both accused of stealing cash and watches while at a house party. both players are florida natives. the nfl says aware of the situation but had no further comment. mlb believe players will return to the field this year. listen to. this i have great confidence actually to reach an agreement with the players a
