i believe that we'll do that. >> minnesota attorney general keith ellison. thank you. >> thank you. >>> the investigation continues in portland after a man is shot dead. it happened after police reform protesters and a pro-trump caravan got into a fight. the victim was part of a far-right group called patriot prayer. we'll hear from that group's founder ahead. >>> fda head said he may fast-track a vaccine. how safe will that be. >>> let's get you caught up on the latest facts on the coronavirus pandemic. cycling fans are hoping that tour de france survives covid-19. they'll expel a racing team if any of two of its members test positive for covid within a week. no racer will qualify to cross the finish line. the tour de france has only been cancelled for two reasons, world war i and world war ii. >>> this weekend, opponents of the order protested at the massachusetts statehouse. >>> in pennsylvania, a temporary ban on evictions and foreclosures expires today. this morning, pennsylvania governor tom wolf hintd that he would extend the moratoriumorat. >>> clini

i'm a firm believer in transparency and the public's right to know, says keith ellison.ut apparently, that's not true. videos like this are released all the time by authorities. in this case, it was hidden. in fact, if it weren't leaked by a foreign newspaper, we wouldn't have seen that newspaper. now that we have seen it, what can we conclude from? buck sexton is host of "the buck sexton show." thank you so much for coming on. before we get to why we haven't seen this before, and i think the reason is evident, what do you make of it? what do you learn? >> this is critical. we didn't have the full even video story of this, and as you have alluded to already, we obviously should have a long time ago. i'm not going to say this exonerates officer chauvin. >> tucker: i'm not saying that, either, either. >> i know. there will be a finding of criminal guilt whether it's involuntary manslaughter, there's a whole host of other charges he could still be guilty of here. but we do have to look at what was the runoff of this incident that then caused months of rioting purity of some

attorney general keith ellison saying, quote, the prosecution team will continue to take the strictest precautions to ensure a fair trial, the state prepares to prosecute four offices for floyd's coming, minneapolis leaders moving forward with defunding the police as crime rises, 288 were shot in a city, double the number from this time last year but a recent poll shows a majority would vote to replace the police department. many politicians having protesters show up outside their homes. minnesota republican state senator speaking exclusively to fox news on demonstrators on his doorstep last month saying, quote, we were watching it on my doorbell and you get a different feeling when you see people slithering up to my front door, opening it and pounding and yelling demanding that i come out, the minneapolis mayor blaming governor tim wallace for not sending a national guard sooner. meanwhile donald trump saying he would be willing to meet with black lives matter. >> i got off to a bad start. >> we meet with black lives matter? >> i would. but nobody has asked for a meeting, nobody asked

minneapolis, 12 democrats and the green party member, the attorney general of the state is a racist, keith ellisondemocrat. there aren't any republicans around. and that's true with every city in Ãi'm impressed and also shocked at the low quality of these people but every mayor is a democrat and a female and a black, it seems. and 95 percent of the police chiefs are black. what's the race issue? four cops have been indicted and charged with murdering george phillips. two cops, one is african-american, one is asian, how is that a racial issue? we don't even know what, what's his name, derek chauvin, what's his motivation. the same lynch mob that's after trump, same people, same derangement, or after the police departments. him and after what anybody with any influence and power is a democrat. why are the cities burning? because democrats wanted to burn. why did they want to burn? for the same reason that cuomo is happy to have a coronavirus all over his state. so they can blame it on trump. why do they want to shut down the economy? so they can blame it on trump. this is an evil party, i thought ab

joining me now is keith ellison, general attorney of minnesota. you very much for being here. >> good to be with you. >> so, keith, i remember at the time -- the early days of the protests in minneapolis you were the one who raised the alarm about umbrella man. asking people do you know who this person is? you mentioned it's possible, in later interviews, possible connections to white nationalists. why were you sure then about that connection? >> because the protesters who were outraged by what happened to george floyd were open. they were not concealing their identity. they wore t-shirts. they had signs. they were very clear why they were there. this guy did not want to be known. he had an umbrella to protect him from overhead cameras. he had face masks on. he had a tear gas mask. he was extremely prepared. and the protesters were confronting him. they didn't know who he was. i knew there was something suspicious about this guy. i am schooled in the history of provock or provo provock tours. >> was he the only person who had suspected links to whi

. >> there is concern that if you were succeeded why someone like keith ellison as attorney general, this will become an institutionalized practice in the investigation will simply go away. a.g. barr: i understand your concern. >> one more thing, the term we keep hearing from the left is, these are mostly peaceful protests mostly peaceful. it seems to me that you either are or you are not. calling what is happening in our cities mostly peaceful protests is a lot like calling scot peterson a mostly faithful husband or al capone a mostly law-abiding businessman. there is a constitutional right to peaceably assemble. where does that right to stop? a.g. barr: when it becomes violent criminal activity. that is the challenge here. i mean, you have honest people out protesting and demonstrating and that is important first amendment activity that we believe strongly in and try to protect. violentparticular opportunists that are involved here get into those crowds and then start engaging in very violent activity and hijack it. a lot of protesters have been telling law enforcement, providing i

julian nova and it says i'm in 1999 i had the pleasure of hearing you read an excerpt of ralph ellison's june keith been nurtured by a black woman who raised him as an adult trades the maternal connection because of their blackness and you read so beautifully and with such feeling i sense that the white the trail of black women had loved them as children struck a nerve in you. would you please comment. >> it does and still i think there are several references to it in some of my books. because it's such an unnatural thing. i could say the same thing about not black white relations but wet nurses that work for common in england or france where people of a certain class said children were to be nurse and my children thought back when they were house broken so to speak so that past along into the culture with black and white relations being the focal point because the wet nurses were slavewomen . so you're thinking as a writer how much that feel? think about yourself, so close it i were in a position where one of my jobs was in addition to my own children i had to feed other children? it wouldn't be a
