when they tell her, lori lightfoot acts immediately.he problem for the rest of them, the mobs will not stop with christopher columbus, he's just the beginning. if they can tear down statues whenever they feel like it, how long before they tear down buildings, how long before they tear down homes? how long before they tear down human beings? probably not for long. violence rarely remains symbolic and accelerates of total good people rise up to stop it. if lori lightfoot and progressive mayors like her around the country, and there are many, are allowed to divert from her own behaviors find bowing to the mob and destroying public property, this will not end with christopher columbus. it will get much worse and more dangerous. until you are the next designated christopher columbus. todd watson has studied american cities for decades and he founded the woodson center and we are honored to have them on tonight. mr. woodson, thank you for coming on. i see a theme here and it's not just lori lightfoot. as the problems they face become more com

despite those staggering numbers, merit lori lightfoot has presided over a city that has turned into the wild west. let me make this as clear as i canhi make it tonight. it is open season on the citizens of chicago and the mayor cannot be bothered to accept real federal help. do you know why? because of her seething hatred for donald trump. that is outweighing her concern for the citizens that she is supposed to be serving. the head of the chicago fraternal order of police was here tonight to react to mayor lori lightfoot's refusal to accept federal help but will instead react to this story. john kennedy sarah joins me now exclusively john, are you as unhinged as mayor lightfoot says you are? she's putting it on you. that's what she's doing, putting it on you. maybe it is fox, trump, everyone but looking at the mayor and going after the criminals. >> thank you for having me. first of all, the mayor likes to use the word unhinged. the ironic part is the mayor became unhinged. i wish i could show you the text messages you sent me over the weekend as soonest she's the one who became tot

and lori lightfoot, chicago, lightfoot would be banned and only gang members to terrorize the populationnd they do. >> sadly, once again the victims of chicago violence our kids. today shooting injured cousins, two boys ten and 11. >> is a vehicle pulled up and three men got out of that vehicle and started shooting on the block that was just filled with children. >> the with a fourth of july weekend marked by devastating gun violence across the country and in chicago, where the thin 75 people shot and at least 14 killed. including the 14-year-old boy and 7-year-old girl. a third week in a row the children have died from gun violence in chicago. >> tucker: that is just awful. but nothing you just saw the picks lori lightfoot in any way. lori lightfoot surrounded at all times by armed bodyguards paid for by her suffering subjects. she demands that. lori lightfoot understands that chicago is a highly dangerous place. but the ordinary people who live in her crumbling city things are different. they don't have taxpayer-funded bodyguards. there chicago was a place for 7-year-olds, may be there

mayor lightfoot. i have to tell you, laura, i think about all the children across this country that have been so badly affected this year. not only with the violence in the streets, but with covid the, not being able to go to school. now we have a bunch of adults who act like children and put our children's lives in danger because of their political and divisive. and what we are seeing across the country is something that i believe can get far worse if something doesn't happen. if something doesn't stop this, this escalation of violence. i talked to law enforcement officials today, many of who told me, look, if we don't get the kind of backup support we need, a lot of people are walking off of the jobs. they are retiring. they will leave law enforcement. what happens to the citizens when that happens, laura? >> laura: i would say the same time a debate is going on in chicago about whether to open the schools up. and i do it -- a slight majority of chicago public school parents want schools to reopen i

yet, that's exactly what lori lightfoot is doing right now.re there no fresh ideas about how to save that city? what do you think about her words today? >> jessica: i'm not so much concerned with her words today as a course of action as you pointed out that we need. we need a new plan. how lori lightfoot won victorious to win the miller in chicago there were a lot of con tinders. people thought she was going to be best to fix the crime and violence epidemic in chicago. she has so far fallen short of that it's important to note by as you said reading out statistics of year over year murders and violence et cetera in chicago, this is a long held problem. this existed before george floyd was murdered by derek chosen and it will exist afterwards. so i would love to see a plan from the mayor that includes those funds that are coming from federal law enforcement as well as what she is going to do with the officers that are already on the ground there to help assist her and the police chief who i believe are wholeheartedly dedicated to fixing this pr

attorney john raj because they were both federal prosecutors out lightfoot actually is a former federal prosecutor while rush is still one so she knows and trusts him and expects him to you know follow the rules and fault the law when it comes to this sort of thing however what she did say is that if it goes beyond investigatory or the city government might sue to talk with us a little bit about the politics and the potentially the motivation behind all of this how do you think the move is going to go down among u.s. voters when they vote for in the presidential elections in november. you know that's actually a really tough decision to make because most of the people who are at least the loudest on it have already decided who they're going to vote for they've already decided between president donald trump former vice president joe biden or even a 3rd party candidate like libertarian nominee dr joe jorgensen you know i think a lot of the people who are tuned into this have already made this decision it's probably not going to affect chicago at all because chicago is a democratic strongho

more of the same from mayor lightfoot. shannon: it is difficult challenging time, we will keep an i on the statue. most-watched, most trusted, most grateful you spent the evening with us. i am shannon bream. with fast response and great service and it doesn't stop there we're also here to help look ahead that's why we're helping members catch up by spreading any missed usaa insurance payments over the next twelve months so you can keep more cash in your pockets for when it matters most and that's just one of the many ways we're here to help the military community find out more at usaa.com tonight, try pure zzzs all night.he military community unlike other sleep aids, our extended release melatonin helps you sleep longer. and longer. zzzquil pure zzzs all night. fall asleep. stay asleep. to visit all the places we didn't know meant so much.s to get out and go again. but we're all going at our own speed. at enterprise, peace-of-mind starts with our complete clean pledge, curbside rentals and low-touch transactions. with so m

we're arresting a lot of people that have been very bad. >> so the chicago mayor, lori lightfoot, had this response to the president's so-called surge of federal troopers to the streets of her city. >> the president is trying to divert attention from his failed leadership on covid-19. he has failed, he has failed, he has failed. if he really wanted to help us, there are some things that the federal government is uniquely qualified to do. why are we engaged in such violence? because there are too many damn guns on our streets. >> here with us to talk all about it, maya wiley who happens to be a veteran of the new york city mayor's office. and steve schmidt, a veteran political strategist who led the mccain '08 effort. he was among the founders of the lincoln project, dedicated to the defeat of trump and trumpism. and, steve schmitt, because of your quotes on this topic, i'm going to begin with you. overseas if we saw these pictures, we could call it a military junta. under a mussolini or pinochet, we would make nothing of it. but you've called these men and women jackbooted thugs, stor

shannon: has federal agents stand ready to head to chicago lori lightfoot says she won't allow, quote, trump's troops to come to chicago and terrorize our residents what senator tom cotten asks what about protecting them. >> deserve the protection of local police and sheriffs departments. in cities like chicago or portland, in league with these violent anarchists, they need to look to the federal government to do that as well. >> anthony napolitano joins us with his reactions to this violence had a terrible story in a minute. it will get worse before it gets better, then warning from donald trump in his first covid-19 briefing in two month. jillian: details for a new stimulus package. >> donald trump gave that candid assessment saying things would get worse before they get better. the administration has a plan to combat this virus. the president held his first coronavirus task force briefing to the public yesterday in two months. he stopped them in may arguing they were not beneficial and essentially a waste of time. 8 have canceled him to start them again, former vice president joe b

lori lightfoot says we're willing to partner with the administration. seattle went badly in the chop zone there. you think you're getting momentum coming to your side here? >> it is good to see that mayor lightfoot is saying she would work with the federal government. operation legend is one that will help restore peace to the streets of chicago where we've seen an over 50% increase in murders. that seems like a statistic but those are family members, brothers and sisters and aunts and uncles in chicago that don't get to go home at night because they were murdered in cold blood in their city streets. we want to make sure that the federal resources are available to go after gangs and drugs and violence in this country. so that shouldn't be a partisan issue. there shouldn't be politics involved here. so it's good to see mayors want to come to the table on this. >> trace: i want to move on to coronavirus here. publicly, the public is putting on this face where he's saying we have to stay upbeat, handle it together. there's reports now that you have dr. deb

elizabeth: and mayor lightfoot tweeted out, hey, karen, watch your mouth.times opinion editor charles hurt. it's great to see you, charles. your reaction. i think the mayor was reacting to the use of the word derelict. she didn't like that. what was your take? >> well, honestly, i don't know what you would call it. the streets of chicago have turned into a complete war zone under this mayor and have been under numerous previous mayors who would rather play politics with these things than actually fix the problem right there at their feet. but look, you know, in less than a month, liz, we've had nine children under the age of 18 killed by gunfire in chicago. we've had 3-year-olds, we had a 7-year-old, a 20-month-old riding in a car seat killed by gunfire in chicago. and if that's not a dereliction of duty by the mayor, i don't know what it is. but i think it's very, out reveals a lot about that mayor that her response to kayleigh mcenany is to resort to racial epithets. and, of course, if this were the other way around, kayleigh mcenany would be, rightly, dr

that's a problem for lighting -- lightfoot. president returns to sunday morning television this weekend, his first appearance in more than a year, joining chris wallace on "fox news sunday." the president calling out the radical dems for their a decades of devastating leadership in america's largest cities. >> the democrat-run cities, they're liberally run, they're stupidly run. chris: liberal democrats have been running cities in this country for decades -- >> poorly. chris: why is it so bad right now? >> it was always bad, but now it's gotten totally out of control, and it's really because they want to defund the police. lou: another democrat-run city facing new fallout today over a shocking attack against new york city police officers. the man accused of punching nypd chief terence monaghan and two other officers during protests on the brooklyn bridge, another peaceful protest. well, they've been released without bail and granted supervised release at that. for more on this, we turn to fox news correspondent laura ingle in n

of times and mayor of chicago, lori lightfoot joins me now. thank you, mayor, i appreciate it. give me your reaction to the president. i understand that you two spoke after those remarks. >> you know, the president's remarks are politics. you know, obviously, he is in the fight for his survival. so i'm not surprised that he is targeting democratic mayors, whether it's me, whether it's keisha lance bottoms, jenny durkan in seattle or muriel bowser in washington, d.c. but it doesn't change the fact that we do not want unconstitutional, secret federal agents coming into our cities, grabbing our residents, and detaining them and violating their rights. i have drawn a very bright line there. and we're not going to go back from that. >> the president blamed you. he blames former president barack obama. could not explain, to our kaitlan collins, why a rise in crime under, either, you or the president, would be your fault but not his fault. do you think the president is using the situation in your city for political purposes? because he -- he said, un

this is what kayleigh mcenany said last night. >> merrill lori lightfoot up chicago has lost controlf her city. mayor bill de blasio of new york city has lost control of his city. the democratic governors have lost control of their streets, at least to missouri you have a governor who came to the president and said hey come i want federal help. whatever i can do to make sure that this never happens again. >> mayor lightfoot might be on board but joe biden continues to blanket criticize the president for everything he's tried to do on law and order across the country. joe biden in a statement saying "we have a president to sow chaos and division and make matters worse instead of better. we need a president to bring us together instead of terrorists apart from a calm instead of inflame, enforce the law rather than put his political interest first." officials in albuquerque thought that federal forces like we have been seeing in portland were coming to albuquerque. now that we know the details of this plan are a lot different than that. we will see how they react later today after the p

could execute mayor lightfoot of playing politics, her residents are being killed.do rivera signing off on this violence. >> how many more will be shot and killed before we recognize this is a crisis, urban civil war, people are dying, men, women and children are being shot, they upset about nothing, they obsess about theater, they obsess about demonstrators being herded off the street, the streets of chicago running red, these are not just hyperbole. this is literal truth. jillian: according to chicago police murders are up 51% and shootings are up 47%. rob: to cruise plans to introduce a bill that allows citizens medicines armed by riots to serve -- to sue officials. >> if they pulled the police out, willingly seated authority to a lawless his own and refused to provide law enforcement, you are entitled to triple damages against the lawless democratic officials. rob: city officials should be held accountable for not protecting their citizens. jillian: donald trump returning to the podium holding his first coronavirus focused briefing since april. joining me to bre

todd: protests erupt outside mayor lori lightfoot's home.ff jenkins joins us with the overnight developments. >> reporter: a lot of developments, the christopher columbus statue in grant park has come down. that is show you this video, you see it coming down with the crane, professionally, the city is doing it, they put it on this truck and drove it away. unclear where they will take it but it was at the mayor's direction. it was not torn down by protesters, it comes, as you mentioned, hundreds of protesters gathered outside mayor lightfoot's home after she told demonstrators to monitor law enforcement's actions. >> if you see something that doesn't look right, please don't hesitate to report it. we will remain diligent and if we see any steps out of line, to take president to court. >> the president for not taking action on gun-control. donald trump doubling down on his willingness to hurt the violence there. >> we want to help all of them. 50,000, 60,000 people who know what they are doing, they are strong, tough. >> protesters taking to s

trump recently stepped up his attacks on chicago's mayor, laurie lightfoot. berating her and other democratic mayors, extreme and radical left democrats, he called them. for failing to quell the violence in their cities. and this photo which led people to say, if you can find an attorney general to look at you, to wink at you, the way bill barr looks and winks at donald trump, hire him. here to talk about this, our panel. political reporter and author, journalist and cohost of the circus on show time. executive editor of the recount. good evening, and welcome to you all. peter, i'd like to begin with you and your beat first. another coronavirus case in the white house. another briefing absent experts. the president says they're more concise this way. in the meantime, as the virus continues to surge, he's surging militarized feds to chicago after they tear-gassed a group of moms in portland who had formed a human line to protect the protesters. have i correctly described this week in july in the summer of 2020? >> yeah, you have. and of course it's a very unse

lori lightfoot also reportedly planning to order the columbus matcstatute to be taken down asn as tonight after it was the scene of an ambush on police officers via riders who were trying to turn on the iconic memorial, we will take you there live, that coverage is just ahead. with tough polling numbers in battleground states, the president makes a pitch to suburban housewives. focusing on education and getting kids back to school safely and repealing a fair housing initiative dated from the obama administration that many conservatives argue would writwipe out the suburbs as youw know about. calm reassurance, money for schools in the wake of coronavirus and safer communities in the state of rioting. but can he convince voters in a matter of weeks to give him another four years, just 103 days to election day. the trump administration facing a defiant china tonight. the state department ordered the chinese consulate in houston, houston being a major hive of spy activity to clear out, tonight, chinese diplomats say they're not going anywhere. hello and welcome to "fox news @ night," i'm shan

today chicago mayor lori lightfoot accepted the same for help to bolster the dea and atf there but she said if agents would be managed in part by the us attorney for the northern district of illinois, mayor lightfoot making it very clear she's wary of federal agents being deployed as they've been in portland, oregon where the feds are accused of using excessive force and violating civil rights and confrontations with groups of protesters who have been attempting to destroy the federal courthouse. in a tweet tonight sent by the mayor just minutes before that shooting in chicago mayor lightfoot wrote this, quote, under no circumstances will i allowed donald trump's troops to come to chicago and terrorize our residents. it is important to note the federal agents in portland according to the dhs, department of homeland security are there because they sent them there. dhss those agents are there to protect federal property from writers, they are not sent under operation legend to help with traditional crime. that is a whole separate operation but we are seeing both sides of the political ai

in chicago radical dem mayor lori lightfoot accuses the president of trying to terrorize her city byending in federal forces. the chaos, the violence, the murders in chicago under mayor lightfoot's failed leadership showing just how serious the crisis is and why this president, this government must be responding. 23 people were shot there last night including a 3-year-old girl. 15 victims were shot at a funeral home in the city's south side. surveillance camera shows the chilling scene as the gunfire erupted. [gunfire] lou: mayor lightfoot has repeatedly said she does not want federal officers and agents on the streets of chicago, but she can't control them or chooses not to. the president of chicago's police union says it seems as if lightfoot is, quote: literally running the titanic into an iceberg intentionally. end quote. in portland 38 law enforcement officers were docked by the radical mob, federal law enforcement. that's now caused 55 straight nights of violent protests. federal officers there having to clear the streets again last night. anarchists trying to destroy the feder

one of the people murdered in lori lightfoot city over the weekend was called natalia wallace. she was seven years old. she was attending a family fourth of july picnic when three men drove up in a car and sprayed the party with gunfire. after she was murdered, her uncle spoke to the press. he didn't beg for the police to be defunded or abolished. he asked where the cops were. they weren't there to protect the little girl. "they weren't here. that's where they should've been, on these high risk corners were the violence is taking place." obviously. leave it to the uncle of a murdered 7-year-old to speak the truth that no one else will speak. lori lightfoot definitely included. when you laugh off murders, 7-year-old girls in your city died. chicago and new york aren't the only city is reverting to the chaos of 30 years ago. since friday, nine murdered in philadelphia, and that's part of a 27% surgeon killings on the year. in san francisco, was murdered at a birthday party. in washington, d.c., five people were murdered in atlanta over the weekend. 8-year-old was one of those who

and like mayor lightfoot, we're going to fight with everything we have.ump and his minions are the architects of chaos in this country right now. i'm so glad to call lori a friend we talk as mayors quite often about the challenges that we are facing so we're on the front lines of this, not alone, but this will be a coordinated response from us across this country. >> yeah. atlanta mayor and chicago mayor, thank you both very much and the best of luck to you on both of these very complicated issues. up next, lawrence o'donnell will be here. tment centers of america, treating cancer isn't just what we do, it's all we do. and now, we're able to treat more patients because we're in-network with even more major insurance plans. so, if you've been turned down before, call us now. with even more ♪when you have nausea,. ♪upset stomach, diarrheaon,♪ pepto bismol coats and soothes your stomach for fast relief and now, get the same fast relief in a delightful chew with new pepto bismol chews. how does the world reopen for business? to return to the workplace, safely

lori lightfoot definitely included.you defund the police, when you laugh off murders and blame rural white people for worrying aboutgh them, 7-year-old girls n your city die. chicago and new york are the only cities were averting to the chaos of 30 years ago though. since friday, 34 people were shot and nine murdered in philadelphia. part of a 27% surge in killings on the year. in san francisco, 6-year-old jc young was murdered at a birthday party. in washington, d.c., 11-year-old was shot and killed at a cookout. five people were murdered in atlanta over the weekend. an 8-year-old was one of those. atlanta's mayor keisha lance bottoms didn't call the murder of children in her city laughable at least. >> we are shooting each other up on our streets. and the city -- shot until the baby. it wasn't one shooter, there were at least two shooters. an 8-year-old baby. we are doing each other more harm than any police officer on this force. >> tucker: she went on to say that during the civil rights smovement we knew who the ene

chicago's mayor lori lightfoot has repeatedly said she does not want the feds on the street.e she is on a violence today. there is nothing that tears at my heart that causes me sleepness nights that also makes me more resolved to bring justice to the victims in our city who deserve better. and who need us to step up for them even more. >> harris: the president of chicago's police union tore into mayor lightfoot for refusing federal help. watch. >> she is literally running the titanic into a iceberg. the justice system is in cook county is broken. they have no idea what real justice is that's basically the blood bath in the street is a result. >> harris: power panel now guy marshalbenson and leslie marsha. thanks for joining me. leslie, i come to you first. what does justice look like for mayor lightfoot and many democratic leaders who are refusing help from the federal government, yet, i mean, i herd her call for it. she wants to lean in with, you know, more of an open heart if you will. that's fine. there is room for theirs. but you have got to take action, too. >> absolutel

larry, i've got to start with lori lightfoot.he people -- ted wheeler in portland trying to blame the people who are trying to restore order and enforce law in their communities that they refuse to do. he is -- >> right. lou: -- are their constituents so dumb that they can push this kind of disinformation to the gullible and get away with it? >> well, the majority of their constituents do not believe in this kind of violence, do not believe in burning up neighborhoods because of the death of george floyd. speaking of whom, i thought this was about the death of george floyd? the data do not show that the police are killing black people just because they're black. a recent interview, data does not show police are killing black people just because they're black. they're tearing up neighborhoods based upon a false premise. now, the reason the democrats don't say anything is because the rioters are advancing a favorite narrative of theirs which is that blacks remain plagued by institutional, systemic structural racism by the police de

protests erupting outside shows chicago mayor lori lightfoot as agents head to this he to curb the violencejillian: cities prepare for violence of the weekend. >> reporter: protesters turned out in the streets outside mayor lightfoot's home and let me take you to a brand-new video in grant park where efforts to take down the christopher columbus statute was a scene of violent clashes last friday. it is proving successful this morning. a crane has been brought in, the statue covered in plastic. this not protesters doing this. the question was whether we would support this and move forward with this and that we see video that suggests she is indeed trying to get this statue down, perhaps to avoid another confrontation this weekend and it comes as the mayor is telling demonstrators to be monitoring law enforcement activities. >> if you see something that doesn't look right please don't hesitate to report it. we are going to remain diligent if we see any steps out of line, we will not hesitate to take the president to court. >> reporter: the mayor blamed the violence spiraling out of control re

we absolutely do not trust lori lightfoot. she has wobbled back and forth over the last few days indicating that she is willing to ultimately accept federal officers into the city. chicago already has a federal consent degree that we force onto the city when rahm emanuel was mayor and refused to act in response to the doj report which proved that cpd has a pattern and practice of violating black people's rights in the city. she has overseen the implementation of the consent degree, which according to the last report by the i understand monitor has missed over 70% of its deadline. nothing has happened. so during mayor lightfoot's reign, she has not implemented change into the existing infrastructure of the chicago police, and now we're led to believe that somehow she's trustworthy and that has arranged some workable solution with trump in order to add federal agents into the city? it's absolutely laughable and atrocious. further more, the excuse they're using to bring in federal troops is related to intercommunal violence. we j

i would just say that mayor lightfoot's statements are the right statements, but it is to late.n you look at chicago during -- when the covid outbreak first exploded and we saw in cities where the black death toll was way above that of our white counterparts, for example, chicago, only 30% of the population and 70% of the deaths. checkpoints in places like new jersey where people i to show identification to get into different neighborhoods. offaw afterer the mdeder george floyd andnd rebellions began around the couountry, i kw in my neighborhood, i it was marshall law. mymy humble opinion is it ststil is. so we'rere looking at, regardles of the disaster or moment,e e looking at the infringement on our rights s at is just escalating and going further and further. trump havingald federal agents come into chicago is something that we should definitely be worried about but we should not act as if it is not our rights being infringed upon already. if you really want to o talk abt it, go back to the crime field. i remember when as a young policeer, i saw chicacago remove two busloads

he is stepping up pressure on democratic mayors like chicago's lori lightfoot to take stronger actionop the carnage. >> these cities, unfortunately, that are in trouble, are all run by democrats. when you look at chicago and you look at the job mayor lightfoot -- and she sent me a letter yesterday. in their own way, they want us to go in. there will be a time when they want us to go in full blast. right now we are sending extra people to help. >> harris: however, mayor lightfoot of chicago is warning the city's ready take legal action if the feds step td their authority. >> we want to accept anything weitz was happening on the streets of portland, oregon. we won't hesitate to get a temporary restraining or dumb a and some federal agents like acting like the police and denying our residents their constitutional rights. it is not having that in chica chicago. >> harris: meanwhile, while in police are declaring another riot. it happened overnight. protesters lit fires and three gasoline bombs and other projectiles of the courthouse. following ted wheeler's tense visit with protesters, wh

now while far left mirror is like seattle's jenny durkan and chicago's lori lightfoot continue to resisteral support even as cities crumble, the police chief in detroit is welcoming the needed assistance. take a look. >> unlike other cities you welcome the president's help. >> absolutely. there has been a lot of partisan politics involved in the suppo support. they've entered into this administration in late december, and what's going on now is just enhancement. >> also developing tonight, the trump administration is taking full backs to stop democratic plans to destroy american suburbs. the department of housing and urban development is scrapping the highly controversial obama era affirmatively narrowing the housing rule. it will end suburbs as we know it and likely destroy home values in the process. but joe biden has already promised he would keep the rule and elected, it would mean an unprecedented attack on middle-class communities around the country. to even dismantling the suburbs, the democrats leftist agenda is as destructive as ever and it's all part of the vision for america u

lightfoot is a lightweight on protecting citizens, seems more worried about optics and politics thanhe men, women and children she is supposed to protect and serve. it is a national disgrace. todd: what do local leaders thing? raymond lopez also called out mayor lightfoot when he joined us last hour. >> it should not be a partisan issue, a twitter campaign to take shots at the president who you may or may not agree with, there are things i don't agree with but i am not willing to put partisanship above the safety and security of the residents of the city of chicago. todd: murders up 52%, shootings up 42% in chicago since this time last year. jillian: a fox news expensive interview donald trump volunteers to take the coronavirus vaccine when it comes out as he defends his administration's response to the pandemic. todd: ashley warns of the challenges ahead. >> reporter: the president wouldn't mind trying it first, hours after announcing a massive deal, 100 million doses of a possible vaccine, the president said he isn't opposed to getting the vaccine himself but in an exclusive fox ne

mayor lightfoot initially opposed this plan, but became open to the idea a ersation with the u.s. attorney for illinois. earlier this week the president threatened to send agents to chicago and other cities like oakland to confront protests, an offer that mayor schaaf, the oakland police department and governor newsom have all declined. >>> new developments this morning, the former minneapolis police officer charged with killing george floyd is now facing a new legal challenge. felony tax evasion. derek chauvin and his wife are now facing nine felony income tax charges. both failed to fire income taxes for many years and underreported income in the years that they did file a reason. chauvin was a police officer until she was charged where second degree murder in the death of floyd. kelly filed for divorce after floyd's death. >>> pg&e is expected in court, they are suing the san ramon valley fire protection district over an ordinance that bans it from performing non-emergency electric work when fire danger is high. a judge will hear the arguments today. pg&e will argue that the fi

mayor lightfoot tweeting, we cannot give shelter to killers and people know who are responsible. the rise in violence does happen every summer in chicago but this is extraordinary. writers are up 51% for this time this year, shootings are up 47% and it should note that the shootings did not limit themselves to this one mass shooting. they continued throughout the evening. among the people who were shot later on in the evening, the 3-year-old girl on south shore. speak >> melissa: that's just tragic. >> martha: meanwhile portland marks its 55th straight night of protest. federal agents at one point did resort to using tear gas to clear some of the crowds that were destructive in that group after more confrontations with those protesters. you can say with that look like last night. oregon's governor making it clear that she, regardless of all of this, she wants a federal forces out of there. >> the presence of federal troops here, trumps troops here in the streets of portland have substantially exacerbated an already challenging situation. i told them to go home, that their forces
