Straight night of unrest in the city. Arsonists starting several fires around the federal courthouse, despite federal Law Enforcement officers presence. Rioters threw flares, fireworks, molotov cocktails at the Law Enforcement officers. The leftwing mob injured at least three federal officers, protecting the federal courthouse. One of them burned by unidentified chemical. Portlands radical testimony mayor, ted wheeler, showed up at the riot. Apparently he thought he would receive something of a heros welcome because he has made this violence possible. He was there to support the mob who then turned on him, jeering and mocking wheeler. The mayor, thinking he was safe, taking part in a listening session with members of antifa and black lives matter, near that federal courthouse. The lawless activists tearing his city apart. Made it clear they dont like him either. [booing] [shouting] lou loud calls for wheelers resignation. Demanding wheeler even withdraw more money from the Police Departments federal officers in portland later using flashbang grenades and tear gas on the mayor as he watches the anarchists try to burn down the federal courthouse. Instead of chastising the destructive and malicious acts of the mob, the mayor chose instead to try to blame President Trump and the federal Law Enforcement officers there to protect the courthouse. [inaudible conversations] demanding that they leave. We demand that the federal authorities [inaudible] lou you have to wonder what his level of training for the job that he has. The radical dems high level of contempt and animosity for any kind of Governmental Authority and all citizens is playing out across the country. The city council in minneapolis unanimously voted to get rid of that citys Police DepartmentPublic Information officer. The city council effectively muzzled the department that theyre trying to get rid of. A judge in seattle also ruled Seattles City Council may go ahead with their plan to take away riot gear from the citys Police Department. Apparently, under the assumption this wont be any more rioting. What else could be the explanation . The city of chicago where President Trump has already deployed federal agents is bracing for another night of protests and demonstrations and, yes, violence. Radical dem mayor Lori Lightfoot only asking for more trouble by asking chicago residents to snitch on those federal officers, whatever that means. I am calling on all chicagoans that if you see something that doesnt look right, please, dont hesitate to report it. And if we see any steps out of line, particularly with dhs or border patrol, were not going to hesitate to take the president to court and stop any unconstitutional action. Lou my guess is shell get a lot of phone calls from people who dont think it looks right for dozens and dozens of her citizens to be gunned down every weekend, for children to be murdered in the streets. Perhaps shell get a few calls about that. Congresswoman Maxine Waters also proving to be a, well, a tool for the radical dems. She says its been suggested that this is a trial run of the president of the United States who may be organizing to not accept what happens when we have the election if hes not elected. He going to pull occupant is is he going to pull out his military, is he going to engage us . [laughter] oh, man. The left is a beautiful, beautiful bunch. The congresswoman failing to acknowledge that her own partys organization and support over the past four years to try to overthrow and subvert the president of the United States is very clearly at the forefront of most americans minds. A new poll finds 55 of americans say federal Law Enforcement should be used to stop the rising violence in these high crime democratled cities. 55 . The radical lefts politics of chaos and division and personal destruction is nothing more than a tool to try to silence those who disagree with them. And what are the consequences of the efforts of the radical dems to try to overthrow authority in this country at every level . Their politics of personal destruction. A new poll from the Cato Institute provides some of the answers. 62 of all americans in the cato poll say the current Political Climate prevents them from sharing their opinions. 77 of conservatives and staunch conservatives say they are prevented from speaking their political beliefs. The only group that apparently feels safe, according to this poll, are the furthest to the left. 58 of socalled staunch liberals or what some would call extreme left said they dont belief they are prevented from sharing their political opinions, and i would suggest to you theyre probably right. The lefts political intoll the answer is also intolerance is also costing people their jobs. High School Baseball coach Justin Kucera fired by the Walled Lake School district in michigan. He says its because of his support for President Trumps plan to reopen school toes. In a tweet he wrote that read donald trump our president. What a thing to say.

Lou breaking news now, a former democratic congressman accused of bribing an election judge in order to tough the ballots stuff the ballots for democrat candidates in philadelphia. Court documents say Michael Meyers paid thousands of dollars to have fake votes in the Voting Machines between 2014 and 2016. Meyers represented the philadelphia area in congress for four years. That is until about four years ago, he was expelled and imprisoned for taking bribes during the famous undercover fbi sting known as abscam. The scandal didnt apparently teach him anything. Also breaking tonight, Chinese State television blaming populism for the spread of the china virus. Can China Global TelevisionNetwork Airing this video. The title, can covid19 beat populism . A straightforward attack on President Trumps candidacy for reelection. It claims the china virus is, quote, another straw on the camels back against populist heeders like President Trump. Leaders like President Trump. Hows that for meddling . And how is it for interfering in u. S. Domestic politics . Well, joining us tonight, one of the president s strongest defenders of both the president , obviously, and his populist movement. He is congressman matt gaetz, member of the house judiciary committee, Armed Services committees. His new book is called firebrand dispatches from the front lines of the maga revolution. Its available for preorder now, and we are delighted to have its distinguished author, that is, congressman matt gaetz. Magr usment youve just been in a meeting, i understand, with John Ratcliffe, the director of national intelligence. Is there anything you can share with us, with the audience . Breaking news, lou. Well, John Ratcliffe in the last few hours has just declassified the memo that describes the august 17th briefing the fbi gave President Trump back in the 2016 election. Now, the fbi has been telling us that this was a defensive briefing, but the evidence that we have today proves that this was a setup of the president and of michael flynn. Heres how. Youll remember that at the end of july in 2016 the fbi opened the trumprussia investigation. On august 8th, peter strzok and lisa page were saying, no, well stop him. On august 15th, the insurance policy. And then august 17th is the first defensive briefing that the Trump Campaign gets. Who does the fbi send . Peter strzok, kevin klein smith, the lawyer who changed evidence before the fisa court, and joe pientka who shouldnt have been there in the first place. They were trying to ensnare michael flynn, and on the documented today they are labeling that meeting as a part of the crossfire razor investigation which was the flynn investigation. They should have been this to protect the president from russian interference. Instead, they were there to frame the president and try to put pressure on michael flynn. This is what weve been talking about for years now, even more evidence that its the case. Lou well, congratulations to John Ratcliffe for declassifying the documents and pushing this information into the public arena. Because we are everyone is anticipating that there will be charges against those who conspired to overthrow this president. This is outrageous. This is of a historic level that it boggles the mind to think that academia or scholars are not involved in this at all. There is not a word of protest from those professional academic historians who should be all over this. But well, and think about biden. Lou they are as quiet as church mice. Remember, this was during the obama biden administration, and it was joe biden himself who was trying to manufacture some basis to go after general flynn. So the reason this is important is that it didnt just occur during the trump administration. This defensive briefing was part of the plan to try to delegitimize President Trump, to try to go after his allies even back during the obama bind administration. Obama biden administration. Lou it is, without question, we now know this was a fullon effort by the obama era intelligence people. Not just the National Security division of the fbi and its top officials of that agency and the Justice Department. This was a widespread effort under the auspices of the obama white house. Without question. I want to turn to whats going on right now, and that is it looks like, according to the polls, that President Trump is a lot more popular than most of these polls are detecting. Who would have ever suspected that there was something called the silent majority . We look at the Cato Institute poll that shows 55 of americans are afraid to express their political viewpoints. But almost 80 of conservatives and republicans are afraid to express their views because of the violence of the left expect Extraordinary Campaign by the left to silence that majority out there. Its incredible. President trump is leading the most powerful Political Movement certainly in my lifetime, and the lefts strategy is to try the demoralize us and demean us and to stop us from expressing our patriotism and love of our president and our country. And while its no surprise that folks on the left are going after the president , i am deeply disappointed that liz cheney, the chair of the House Republican caucus, is also working against President Trump. I think republicans deserve a house conference chair who will stand with our president and wont oppose him on everything from germany to afghanistan, to syria, to the coronavirus. Even liz cheney picking up the hashtags of nancy pelosi and using them to chide our president. Its one of the reasons why ive asked for her to step awe side so that in this runup to the election we have leaders and conference chairs who will campaign with the president and help reelect him so we can save this great country. Lou you know, you republicans on capitol hill are a courageous bunch. I have to admire your sportsmanship. You will, you find ways to put leaders who are in opposition to nearly everything the Republican Party stands for. Youve made one of them speaker of the house back in 2018. Youve got cheney now. How does this happen with you republicans . Hey, rinos are almost ex rhinos are almost exe in africa, but they seem to roam free in political times. Liz cheney has been working against President Trump for some time behind the scenes, but now shes actively chiding the president. And i think that republicans in our conference who support the president need to ten up for him step up for him and need to insure that liz cheney does not have the motto of republicanism as she attacks our leader. Lou a sage counsel as usual from yo, congressman matt gaetz. Great to have you here. Wed like to hear your thoughts. Share your comments.

Tonight [laughter] what he said about the difference between the people of south korea and china. Charlie hurt, tammy bruce havent seen them in too long theyre with us next. Well be r r r r what im worried about is that if youre not expecting the shock, and the markets fall dramatically, you might panic. And in the midst of that panic, you might sell and run to cash. At the very moment, you shouldnt. At the very moment, prices are at their low. Thats my fear. Im not worried about the country. Im not worried about the financial markets, because in the long run, i know theyll be fine. Im worried about you. Im worried about how you will personally respond to this crisis. And even if you dont panic, you may. Lou im delighted to tell you that tammy bruce, Washington Times columnist, fox business contributor, host of fox nations get tammy bruce, is with us as is charlie hurt, fox business contributor, great to have you both here.
