they were handed out masks you know when you went you know north of $96.00 street into you know upper manhattan and into the rocks they were punching people in the face so i think a lot of people you know in arresting them so i think there was an explosion that was going to happen. and you know you can talk also you mention the democratic control of cities and i think that you know there is a valid point that you know some democrats have failed in their management of cities however and a lot of the city's mares are blacks it's me think it's be very transparent but then in some cases even the police chiefs are black but what i'm saying is a lot of this is systemic and when you have a system it doesn't necessarily white supremacy a systemic so you don't necessarily it's not about who's at the head of the system and in addition the states like of course in the baltimore area but the state is run by republicans and with diddy they've been funding it depend on the state when we are up in the senate races and we go to market right now and then if we get in if it's so literally black and white a lot a

we've seen so many stores, block by block, street by street here, from north manhattan -- upper manhattan to lower manhattan. in union square, where we were earli earlier when i was last on with you, we saw looting there. told a best buy was looted. all sorts of different stores. what's also so sad in all of this, a lot of these stores have been closed now for months because of the pandemic. losing money. businesses that, you know, have been out of business now for months. not making any money. and, now, being looted. everything taken out and now they have to repair the stores, fix the glass. so i don't know. you know, i think, as you said, chris, i do think the curfew, in the end, is probably too late. you know, friends are asking me, well, what happens now? how do the police get this under control? i don't know. i think tomorrow, the mayor, as you said, is going to have to answer those questions. what more can they do? they brought in more officers. they doubled the number of officers that were going to be dealing with this today. and that didn't even seem to help. i don't know they got

they had a couple of thousand kids running through either soho or upper manhattan hitting these placesmeone would hit it and some go in or they'd circle back. it was cat and mouse all day. we made 700 arrests. there were 2,000 out here. we put handcuffs on 700 of them. the problem being is they're back out here again tonight. >> what's your take so far from the men and women who are in the action saying what you think you will discover about these looters? do you think there's crossover, they're all protesters or something else at hand? >> no. they're using the cover of protests to fill their pockets. it got out somehow it's all right, it's part of a protest to loot, and that's what they're doing. they came down here just to make money. and realizing once they do it, if they're caught for burglary and there's no consequence, if they're right back out on the street again, why not do it again the next night. >> you're talking about their ability to get out of jail and other assets they have at their disposal, using city bikes and encrypted messaging, they're running a game, not people lo

iconic brooklyn bridge into lower manhattan and now they're due to arrive behind me here i'm in upper manhattan outside if you look in the green area of the park over there up on the hill that's gracie mansion where the mayor lives that's their final destination we got blocked off here because police have shut the road protesters are coming up on the other side just in the last few minutes i would bet here we've seen the officers put on their helmets and their riot gear they were more casual we 1st arrived. but you know this is really just a continuation of what we've been seeing all week in terms of these different points around the city where the protesters will plan to gather at a certain time but in between they are marching i mean this demonstration is being felt all over the city from the upper west side to the upper east side to the boroughs to lower manhattan and the protesters are on the move constantly and have shown no signs of backing down now 7 days into this 2000 erastus. and it's still going strong. and you mentioned the mayor just then he's been trying to deflect criticism isn't

we're on the upper west side of manhattan for new york city. for many of you watching us from other parts of the country, today's move to phase two of reopening here in new york may seem like no big deal but i can tell you it's a very big deal in this city, once the epicenter of the coronavirus crisis. restaurants like the one we're in are open for outdoor dining today. some of the retailers are allowing people to come in to their stores and the playgrounds are open once again for children. so it's progress. still there are challenges. will people feel comfortable coming back out into the world after three months of lockdown? and will others who have left this city completely moved away, now think about returning? we're going to cover it all, all angles from here, once the hottest of the hot spots. while we take a close look at other parts of the country that continue to report concerning spikes in virus cases. all that coming up. we start you off with phil keating in miami. that is one of the areas the experts are worried about. phil has the l

. >> we are on the upper east side right now, we have protests that have been going on for hours all day throughout manhattanthe upper east side. even though you would not know to look at it. the protesters have blocked off alvin whose dominant avenues and streets so far, we are on east 89th street, it has been a peaceful protest, we have been following them all day long as you heard, 8:00 p.m. curfew tonight in new york city, so in theory these thousands of people are going to have to get out of new york city in the next littl. and we talked to police about the new curfew and the timing being moved back, they thought last night that the curfew worked to a degree, because they did to get an increase of arrest overnight, we will have to see what happens, of course, but this is a scene on the upper east side, this is a very large demonstration and rally that has gone on for hours in the city and we wait for nightfall, one more night to see sometimes you wonder what is going on between de blasio and cuomo, what is your final thoughts? i'm sorry, we are out of time. >> jesse: take down the streets block by block

state continues, new york city seeing largely peaceful protests yesterday, crowds marching to manhattan's upperast side. mayor bill de blasio lives. more reports of looting as night fell, protesters defied the 8:0. governor andrew cuomo spoke out yesterday, blasting mayor de blasio for not doing this job. >> the nypd and the mayor did not do their job last night. i believe that. look at i the videos. it was a disgrace. i believe the mayor underestimates the scope of the problem. i think he underestimates the duration of the problem. my option is to displace the mayor of new york city and bring in the national guard, do your job. do what you've done in the past. you know how you stopped looting in the past and how you stopped rioting in the past? do that again. maria: joining me right now in a fox business exclusive interview is the former governor of new york, and las vegas sands senior vice president, david patterson. governor, great to see you this morning. thanks so much for joining me. it is great to have your insights. what do you think about that in terms of governor cuomo being able to r

the nypd has also set up blockades on the 96th street on the upper east and west side of manhattan to keep vehicles from coming into manhattan. we have seen lots of looters putting all their stuff into vehicles, many of them have plates from different states. that was something we were seeing. today there was one incident on the manhattan bridge, about 2,000 protesters peacefully marched from brooklyn over into manhattan and they got stopped by the police and there was a bit of a standoff there, could have escalated but didn't walk away, but the nypd showed up in big numbers at the bridge there, which could've been a situation not to be, that was after curfew. there was nothing but peaceful protest, people able to get their message out about black lives matter, systemic, you know, racism. it wasn't hijacked by all the looting we had seen in the previous days. new york governor andrew cuomo though had some pointed words today about who he thought was to blame for all of that looti looting. >> the nypd and the mayor did not do their job last night. i believe that. it was a disgrace. i b

there were a couple thousand on the upper west side, a few thousand over the brooklyn bridge in lower manhattan. the police have effectively dispersed most of them. we've been paying attention to the chase going around the city. police stopping people at certain intersections. you can see behind me a row of a dozen or more of people under arrest. we have been hearing reports of arrests across the industry, sometimes groups of 20, 25, groups of 40 or more. so a lot of arrests have been made. i've spoke on the a few protesters who have said they have disbanded for the night in most cases. they'll try to regroup tomorrow. the effectiveness of the breaking up of the groups seems to have happened right now. what we have around union square is this intersection has listen closed off by police while they conduct arrests. hearing on the scanners, a lot of reports for prisoner transports. there are still some scenes of sporadic violence here downtown. you can still see a number of police vehicles coming around. but a lot of it is prisoner transport at this point. we did hear of some looting and groups t

looters as you said really smashing their way through all across midtown, manhattan, also on the upper east side. including as you mentioned the macy's flagship store. all of this happening before new york city's curfew went into effect at 11:00. leaders have been trying day after day to send a message to these folks that are up citing violence and ransacks businesses. people they believe are outsiders. one of new york's top cops. chief terrence monahan kneeling with protesters in sole date yesterday. listen to what he said about these looters. >> get them out of here. protest peacefully. why would anyone break into a store in your neighborhood? places that employ the people in this neighborhood? no reason for it. it has to end. let new york show the country how this is done. >> now we have seen nypd officers here and there just keeping an eye on things as businesses are trying to now board up their stores. there have been dozens of arrests. we don't have an exact number just yet. hopefully we should find out in the next couple of hours. that curfew by the way it was 11:00 last night.

manhattan bridge. this seems to be part of that group. there was another group on the upper west side coming down the west side highway. there was a third group in midtown in the 50s and another group in times square. i spoke to a few protesters who said there wasn't really an objective tonight. they were out on the street and as police came out and continued to block off intersections, many of them did disperse. some did not, and the result of that is a number of people getting arrested. so here we have, again, union j square, which was an objective, it seemed, for some of the protesters. and if you look behind me, there are still police vehicles over there coming in. so that's union square that mike has just turned around to look at. there are more police vehicles coming this way. but all evening on the scanners, brian, we've been hearing reports of location movements and fairly fast movements, groups of a few hundred people at a time up to a few thousand. it does seem the three hours in new york police do have a situation on it and curfew is in place. now, there are peopl

manhattan. we can expect a similar stance, i think, with those protesters as well as they continue to make arrests on the upper eastside. >> sean: street specifically are you act, bryan? >> i'm at third avenue and 50th street. third avenue and 50th street right now. now the police have been trailing them as they have come allowing them, guiding them through this peaceful protest, but again we are within an hour past the curfew and it is now pouring down rain. yesterday, there were 2,000 protesters who were also violating the curfew, who are also violating the curfew and it is pouring right now. and they were trapped on the bridge. there was a peaceful negotiation with the protest with the nypd and they eventually were able to go back to brooklyn across the bridge. >> i told them to take me. take me and let them go. you see how they don't want to negotiate? they want to take everybody. >> the guys are peacefully protesting. >> are you willing to get arrested? for my brothers and sisters to be let go? yes, yes, yes, let them go. lelet them go. >> sean: all the officers in the case have been charged. >> we want t

there really blocking off and cordoning off manhattan because of all of the looting that we saw last night up and down fifth avenue, sixth avenue, herald square, upper eastside, you name it. hundreds of stores hit. you can see over here, the police that are checking to see who lives in the neighborhood and they're also betting delivery -- some major delivery trucks as well as buses and come but this is completely different from what we saw last night. last night we saw plenty of vehicles full of really lots of stolen items. they were packing up their cars and moving from one block to the next. if you listen to the police scanner, it was one theft after the other. i was live on the air with you when we saw groups of looters, hundreds, thousands of them from different places in the city. tonight it's different. those that are out past curfew mostly the peaceful protesters that had started before. we had some protesters in brooklyn trent "f the curfew" but there are nearly as many calls of losing last night. here the conversation has all been about whether or not the national guard will be called in new york. new york governor andrew cuomo blames the n

upper eastside. they wound up being stopped by police at 81st and park avenue. what's different about tonight, don, is police moved in earlier on this group in manhattan. we saw other groups marching, last night till about 10:00. the night before it was till about 9:30. so for whatever reason, tonight, the nypd, don, decided they were going to move in earlier. and they arrested and stopped those demonstrators around 8:30. and that was the last group really demonstrating here past the curfew. now, for tomorrow, there are a lot of events planned. more protests. more demonstrations across the city for saturday, don. >> all right. shimon prokupecz, thank you, very much. i appreciate that. now, i want to bring in cnn white house correspondent john harwood, and former nfl player dante stalworth. john, president seems to be equating good jobs report and tweeting about the nfl should have listened to their players about systemic racism. he just doesn't get it, does he? >> look, don. donald trump is reverting to two things that are comfortable tare for him. one is talking about money. and he was exuberant over the jobs report today. and the other is racial conf

just in soho or lower manhattan where there were other distractions like last night, this is in the middle of new york city. this is from 60th street down to 14th street, the upper east side to the upper west side, everywhere. dozens of stores hit, all over the place. groups traveling, dozens to hundreds. they are not protesters at all. they are monitoring where the police go. they hit one place. if you listen to the nypd and the fdny, the radio or something like i've never heard before. they are going from one spot to the next, trying to put out fires. there's no indication it has slowed down as the curfew is still in effect. the nypd officers, you can see the vans, they are moving from one spot to the next. what happens is the spot where they come and take care of, they leave and then other people come in the spot they just left. it's a really. it's an awful situation to see new york city like this. we have seen a lot of damage. showing macy's is important because this is a store we've all seen. the thanksgiving day parade. they even came here in big groups. and the night is just beginning. >> shannon: you've been spot on follow it all over the place the last

manhattan. there is, like i said, a hundred people here. we'll continue to follow them. and we'll bring you the latest. >> there on the upper west side.hat. >>> as protests keep raging on across the country, my next guest wants to make sure demonstrators stay safe. sean penn's nonprofit organization core is planning to administer free covid-19 tests at protests as coronavirus remains a threat. and sean penn is joining me now. co-founder of core, the community organized relief effort. let's talk about how essential you think that it is that americans taking part in the protests get tested for coronavirus and how concerned you are for lack of social distancing in protests like that. and do you know if people are mostly wearing masks or not? >> well, what from what i've seen and it seems like the protest movement is on the higher spied higher spied of responsible in terms of masks. of course the social distancing is a lot to be able to control for any individual in that group or for the group itself. and without protest, we don't have a democracy. so from our point of view, the best we can do is offer those protesters a service as they o

upper east cidsiders in new yor may be wealthy but also want to see racial justice in this country. that's proven by how we won broad swaths of manhattanodes in america. >> look, the numbers speak for themselves at this point. 648 votes separate you. that's it. do you know when you expect to have the results finalized, all those absentee votes, mail-in votes tabulated? >> yeah, absolutely. so, starting wednesday is when they start opening up these ballots. we are gearing up, as you know, the establishment in maloney's plan is to challenge every single ballot on technicality, with the assumption that young people unaccustomed to voting absentee will make mistakes. we are prepared to fight to the last tooth and nail to get every vote counted. voter suppression is a real thing. we're up against a representative who will try to suppress those who mailed them in. we'll try to count every vote. i'll be back on your show, hopefully, in a week and a half as the democratic nominee for new york's 12th congressional district. >> enjoy your holiday weekend and perhaps we will see you in two weeks from now. suraj patel, thank you so much. >>> it ma
