any other questions for either chuck lovell or mike schmidt? >> reporter: i have one for mike schmidt. >> reporter: the question is reference to policy -- [ inaudible question ] >> that policy very specifically allows my office to work with ppb to focus on violent crime. that's what we're doing. i had a deputy out all last night at the crime scene working with the detect i was. gun violence is up, do metz ig violence is up. we are prioritizing the work of the district attorney's office. >> reporter: i have a question just? general. you mentioned the -- in look in back, are there any inns dent where you could charge -- >> you know, like many people, i wake up most morning and get the update from the police, i look at media coverage. i go on to twitter, like everyone else. of course i i've seen things that i think do not look appropriate, but the question you're asking really requires us to gather evidence and do more than just see a video clip online. there's a process for that. the independence police review takes reports. he recommend any memb

and what the mike schmidt piece is telling us is we've got a major question here. it's a shell game of hiding a counterintelligence investigation and while nobody expects counterintelligence cases to be on the front page of the newspaper, they're very sensitive and very classified, when it comes to putting the president of the united states' name in the title of that case, to determine the seminole question of our time, is a president of the united states co-opted by a foreign intelligence service, we now are faced again with the question of where is the counterintelligence investigation? and this notion that the special counsel thought the bureau had it and the bureau thought the special counsel had it, we need answers to that. something's not right here. there are gaps and holes. that's the value in the mike schmidt piece, pointing out to us, hey, everybody, we don't have answers yes. and we better get answers and congress can demand those, of the current fbi director, because if he had proper predication before he even got there to work a case, he's got even mor

. >> last we'll bring up county district attorney, mike schmidt. we ask that you hold the questions until after. when you do ask a question, let us know who you would like the question to be directed to and they will step to the microphone, as necessary. >> thank you, mayor wheeler and chief labell. as the mayor said, my heart is also heavy today. any time a human being loses their life, it's a huge tragedy and my condolences go out to the family. martin luther king said we must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools. those words are as true today as they were when dr. king spoke them 56 years ago in st. louis. i know today a lot of my neighbors are fearful and they're hurting and i understand that. we are stunned and saddened, angry and frustrated that this happened in our community. that the rights or the duty to peacefully protest and speak out for an end to systemic racism that has plagued our country for generations could be undermined by this terrible act of violence. but my message today, to my neighbors, is we can ne

we get this word from mike schmidt who made the announcement a few days ago that he's not going to becharging most of the crimes that are occurring, the rest being made by police officers are not going to go, to have any meaningful punishment which means the same people who have been causing the problems over the course of the past several weeks will come back, show up, tightly packed, they throw things at officers, hard to identify, they pretend there is no violence and then it continues to escalate and we do this over and over while the local authorities put their hands up saying what do you want from us. you are not allowing us to engage with these protesters/rioters. you are not punishing and you have a city council and the mayor who are not interested in pursuing it seriously. jillian: a tough police and -- position may have been put in. same picture. i want to talk about what these protests, rioting and looting in the cost it is taking, we have a new article on the foxnews.com website and the cars is staggering. i want to show you the numbers but although the total fallout from

the city's activist district attorney --- that's radical dem activist -- mike schmidt and just dem mayor wheeler faintly, ever so hesitantly condemned the attack. it is their enabling of antifa and black lives matter that has handcuffed the city's law enforcementt officers. the police department even says, acknowledges they were slow to respond to sunday's attack because, quote: police are staying away from protesters in order to not be a flash point, end quote, or to be of any help to the mob's victims whatsoever. that passes for law enforcement in portland, oregon. what in the world has ever happened to the people, the good people of oregon? the democratic fools running the local government there and cities all across america are about to pay a high price for their support of black lives matter and antifa. recent polls show e president trump's law and order message is far more popular. cnn even showing an 11-point jump in just the past two months while president trump's approval among people of color in battleground states rises, that of the left is sinking. and the senate intelligence

in portland, mike schmidt i think his name is, he refuses to prosecute these people. have portland police officers getting bombarded, getting injured. they're going to the hospital and the d.a. does not prosecute the people that's assaulting them. this is insanity. this is not -- you know, there's a u.s. constitution. these people, the mayor and the d.a. taken oath of office to enforce and uphold and they're refusing to do it intentionally. their villain rising the cops, victimizing the thugs. and this is going to go on and it's only going to get worse if they don't stop it, so i think the feds have to come in and take action. >> shannon: and the president has said he will if these cities and states can't get things under control and you talk about this prosecutor last week, we listed the things that he said would get prosecuted and wouldn't so people know and i'm sure some of them act accordingly. bernard carrot, good to have you always, sir. thank you. >> shannon, thank you. >> shannon: all right, fresh convention reaction, progressive -- as their voices get limited

the da, mike schmidt, says he doesn't condone the violence, it's about the protester's right to be heardcy acknowledges that centuries of disparate treatment have left deep wounds. >> reporter: in chicago, a city under siege by looters, mayor lori lightfoot instilling a curfew, tweeting access will be temporarily restricted from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. for the second night, draw bridges were raised and freeway entrances closed. business owners scared of losing everything hoping the curfew will provide a much needed break from the lawlessness. in seattle, business owners there begging for more officers to help them, even as police chief carmen best has resigned after the city voted to defund her department. >> this is not about the money. it certainly isn't about the demonstrators. i mean, be real. i have a lot thicker skin than that. it really is about the over-arching lack of respect for the officers, the men and women who work so hard day in and day out. >> nothing but the seattle police department's best efforts to help aid the business owners in the downtown corridor, only to see them

>> mike schmidt, this is my question for you. what more broadly did we learn yesterday and i asked andrew weismann this yesterday. were there things in the senate report that you didn't know? is it fair to put the mueller report in a much more sort of narrow category than we thought it was if a republican-led committee is churning out this salacious and sordid information that we didn't learn in the mueller report? >> certainly, this was a more thorough story than what the mueller report told. and it gave us a greater understanding of what was going on. and if you took all the facts from it, you could make a criminal narrative out of it, that dates back to the oooh 90s that comes through today and tells this story. and two important things. one is basically that manafort's right-hand man was a russian intelligence officer and that's a grave national security threat as the report says. and secondly, what should not be lost on anyone is that the report says that basically, it's difficult to take donald trump's answers to mueller, h

the new district attorney there by by the name of mike schmidt has dropped most of the charges in the650 -- 550 cases. as a former prosecutor if must make you sick? >> it makes me sick and wonder if they are trying to destroy us. soros had 16 d.a.s elected. he has destroyed san francisco. he is on the way to los angeles. he has got a race there. look at st. louis. if the prosecutor doesn't prosecute, all it does it emboldens. you have two things going on, right? the police are largely not arresting. when they do arrest you're let out. you're emboldening these forces of disorder. some of them well-organized like antifa and black lives matter to create an overthrow of our government to make us socialist. some of them just a bunch of petry criminals that go along with it who they utilize but don't think this is a disconnected effort. this is an effort to bring about a change in our government and just read the 2017 manifesto of the black lives matter and you will see in it everything going on right now. planned, including knocking down statues to take away other heroes so people will, pe

any other questions for either chuck la velle or mike schmidt, the district attorney? okay. >> you said you're looking at [ inaudible ] prosecuting. could you respond to that? >> the question is in reference to a policy i put out on august 11. that policy specifically allows my office to work with ppb to focus our effort on violent crime, and that's what we're doing. we're putting all our resources toward that. i had a deputy at the crime scene with detectives working this case. we've had gun violence, homicides happening across our community. domestic violence is up. we are prioritizing the resources daft resources of the district attorney's office to continue to work on violent crime. >> i have a question that's not directly related to last night but just in general. [ inaudible question ] are there any instances where you feel like a police officer [ inaudible ]? >> you know, like many people, i wake up most mornings and i get the update from the police. i look at media coverage. i go onto twitter like everybody else, see clips. of course, i've seen things that i th

now, district attorney, mike schmidt, is officially making it policy his office won't prosecute severaleople who have been arrested and booked on what he considers nonviolent crimes. >> these demonstrations are being used to righteously express grief, anger and frustration over that senseless act of violence and the countless other abuses people of color have endured throughout history at the hand of the criminal legal system. >> last night was one of the rare nights when portland police did not declare an unlawful assembly. they made no arrests. president trump said he wants the department of justice to work with local authorities in portland and elsewhere to get tougher on the anarchists causing most of the trouble. some in oregon say this d.a. is going in the opposite direction. >> here we have the opposite prosecutor, a district attorney, who is wimping out on enforcing the law, refusing to enforce the law in the state of oregon and the county of multnomah. it is an embarrassment and a disgrace. >> activists say this new policy should be the start of even bigger criminal justice ref

da's office. 150 felonies, one-third of those cases have been filed and now district attorney mike schmidtndred people arrested and booked on what he considers non-violent crimes. >> these demonstrations are being used to righteously express grief, anger, and frustration over that senseless act of violence and the countless other abuses people of color have endured throughout history at the hands of the criminal legal system. >> it's worth noting the top law enforcement official in the county uses the same language as the protestors calling it the criminal legal system instead of the justice system. last night was one of the rare nights when police in portland did not declare an unlawful assembly and made no arrests. yesterday president trump said he wants the department of justice to work with local authorities in portland and elsewhere to get tougher on anarchists causing most of the problems. the administration has been critical of what it considers local leniency. >> what we know about portland is that they foster an environment that allows this type of violence to go on. we saw that f

agencies and inclined to move those resources back to counties where crime -- it is a reaction to mike schmidtng if there is no clear evidence of violence. state troopers committed to protecting the federal buildings in portland as part of a deal with homeland security allowing dhs to pull most of its officers out of the courthouse. the hope was it would ease tensions there and as far as the courthouse is concerned that really has worked. protestors have still been violent but they've turned their attention to the portland police bureau so state troopers have been mostly in the background these last two weeks. now they're completely out of portland. what happened their first night away from the courthouse? almost nothing. there were scattered demonstrations across the city but no more than a few dozen people and no police in sight at any of them. a welcome calm night in the city of portland last night. the first time we've seen that in a while. >> sandra: thanks, dan. >> trace: new york city mayor bill deblasio dismissing the pleas of teachers and principals as he opens the largest school syst
