FOXNEWSW Bill Hemmer Reports August 31, 2020

Updates as we get them but meanwhile moments ago to joe biden taking a swing at the present over what is become the Signature Campaign as she was saying Trump America will not be a safe america. We have a president who fans the flames rather than fighting the planes. But we must not burn. We have to build. John biden speaking in pittsburgh with kenosha where the president is heading tomorrow. Wisconsin democratic governor tony is urging him to reconside. And people from kenosha has welcomed the visit and the president is looking forward to it. We have coverage from all angles this afternoon. Live in portland, oregon, where shot and killed during a protest, Jacqui Heinrich has the latest on the biden camp at first former wisconsin Governor Scott walker. Governor, good to see you and has been a long time since we have had a chance to chat. Great to talk to you. Thanks for having me on. John let me quote governor evers, i am concerned the presence will only hinder our healing and im concerned your presence will only delay our work to overcome division move forward together. So we question for you, as the former governor of wisconsin, should the president be going and could his presence fanned the flames . He should absolutely be there. This came from a governor that kenosha newspaper that historically endorses democrats said it was the governors comments last sunday a week ago sunday that fueled the fan, the flames come i should say of the riots we saw there. The president actually provided the leadership to get things under control along with local authorities. And i think the people in kenosha want to thank him as well as talk about how he could help them as they rebuild that great city Going Forward. John so the governor of wisconsin is saying if the president goes that will fanned the flames, meanwhile the mayor of portland, oregon, ted wheeler is saying, it is the president himself who was the cause of the violence. What do you say in response to ted wheeler . This is liberal and democrats who time and time again whether portland, seattle, chicago, madison, wisconsin, we see it in kenosha, new york and elsewhere. They fail joe bidens do not talk about this at the convention. The president when he was asked and this is a credit to brian, the congressman in the first term who worked with local officials in the white house to engage and help the president bring in the help they needed to. Once they did, things got under control. It could happen anywhere else in the country. It can be under control but it requires mayors and governors to get beyond the politics and actually support the people that they are elected to represent. It is amazing when you think about it, three nights of violence, two deaths before joe biden even said a word about the rioters there. I have to believe, unfortunately it was not because of a change of heart but a change in the polling and the focus groups, which is why he spoke again today in pittsburgh about this very subject. He knows hes in trouble. John governor i dont know if youre watching that speech but one thing joe biden said he looks at this political lifeline and rooting for chaos and violence. I dont want to say this that the president is rooting for chaos and violence but certainly this has given him a powerful, political wedge issue on which to run. It is and its because the president didnt need a focus group. He didnt need a poll but he has his ear out listening to the American People. What they were telling him across the country is yes, they want reform and the kind of reform tim scott tried to get to the United States senate to make sure what happened to george floyd never happens anywhere in america. By the same breath, they dont want riots, they dont want chaos, chaos or buildings burnt down or anyone injured as we have seen across the country and cities run by democrats. This president has been out front trying to provide that assistance. Portland, unfortunately over and over again that mayors have turned that down. Wisconsin, once they finally accepted the help the president was able to provide, we have seen a great calming and again, the people in kenosha, republican and democrat alike will appreciate the president s presence they are tomorrow, thank him for what he did to bring back not just law and order but peace and stability and that, hopefully helping out the federal government to rebuild Great Community that can know she is to make it better for everyone. John the department of justice with new numbers on federal unrest and charges related to rioting and civil unrest. Nationally, 300 people arrested, 302 charged in portland, oregon, 100 arrested, 76 charges and 100 days of unrest. Those are not insignificant numbers. Particularly we saw the other day in kenosha where they were able to apprehend once they had that additional federal and state assistance as well as assistance from outside of the community. Law enforcement was able to identify these agitators who were coming in, bringing in materials outside of kenosha, bringing in one case apparently a bus load of people to act and create this chaos there. This is what we see in cities all across america and the leadership. Are we going to have leaders from the president on down who stand up and call this out . Are we going to have people that look the other way and allow it to happen . Unfortunately up until last week joe biden was looking the other way. I would like to think it was because he saw the light but i have to believe it is more of the focus groups and even don lemmon said on cnn the president doesnt need a focus group to do what is right for the American People. Hes done it over and over and over again. Even though it might be to his political advantage, he like anybody would pray that things would get better and we wouldnt have to worry about this Going Forward to. John we will be watching the president s trip tomorrow to see how it goes. Good to talk to you, thank you for joining us. Thank you. John the latest in portland the governor portland, oregon, sending and state police after supporter of right wing group shot and killed during a protest. Matt finn reporting from portland this afternoon, hi, matt. John right now the Portland Police say a great deal of investigation needs to be done in this case they are asking the public for eyewitness accounts or video of the shooting in which they say can help them. This is the intersection where the police say that man was shot in the chest and killed saturday. People have been dropping off flowers and cards and tying them to the street near the shooting. [guns fired the police have not identified the victim or thg victims name has appeared on social media and in local reports. Aaron danielson a reporter of conservative group Patriot Prayer. After President Trump supporters cruise through portlands downtown streets in a planned demonstration on saturday. Opposing groups and rioters clashed with the pro talk dont Trump Supporters and a man was shot dead hours after the caravan and it appeared local reports say there is a shootingt being investigated right now. Oregons governor and portlands mayor pointing the finger at the president for inciting violence and cast blame on the protrump caravan this week. However, the weekend shooting victim was associated with Patriot Prayer groups. The president tweeted earlier today portland has is a mess and has been for many years and this joke of a mayor doesnt clean it up, we will go in and do it for them. And here is the portland mayor. He encourage them to come into our city and approved violence. Last night was the 94th night unrest in the city of portland and the city declared Unlawful Assembly with rioters throwing rocks, the size of soft balls at them. Sean. John. John matt, thank you so much. Joe biden taking aim at President Trump speaking in pittsburgh for short time ago, Jacqui Heinrich reporting live from wilmington, delaware, hi. High matt, john. This was a significant departure from Campaign Messaging that centered around covid, biden with Major General election speech condemned in American Cities and said people taking part in it should face consequences. So let me be clear about all of this, rioting is not protesting, looting is not protesting. Setting fires is not protesting. None of this is protesting. This lawlessness, plain and simple. And those who do it should be prosecuted. Notably, biden also praised the police saying most are good people and they risk their lives daily doing their child. And touching on an Racial Justice the summer, he chews of President Trump soaking hate in summarizing the Campaign Strategy has boiled down to a campaign of fear. But indicates there is some worry within the Biden Campaign message from republicans will stick. The claim that people wont be safe and joe bidens america. Biden tried to undercut it asking people if they feel safe in terms america today. You know me. You know my heart. You know my story, my family story. Ask yourself, do i look like a radical socialist with a soft spot for rioters . Really . President trump visiting kenosha tomorrow where he will survey the damage after widespread looting and arson and meet with the police group so it is significant biden tries to bring Law Enforcement into the fold and try not to let the president carried the mantle of law and order. Biden also messaged one element of fear in his speech though over Social Security. At the very end he cited a report from the Social Security administration chief actuary saying if trump plan goes into effect, it would be permanently depleted. Social security permanently depleted by 2023. That is a big deal for seniors if trump won in 2021 so in many ways, this speech would target people who have not in large part then on the picket line the summer, john. John Jacqui Heinrich, in wellington where somebody is clearly working this afternoon. Jacqui, thank you so much. President trump so if it were not Donald Trumps america to use the expression as im president , you would have riots like you have never seen. The democrats have lost control of the radical left. Dont forget, biden was not going to come out of his basement until the election. John president trunk with Laura Ingraham in an interview that will air on the angle 10 00 on the fox news channel. We have a big show coming up today in reaction moments ago from President Trump to joe bidens big speech. He said the nominee is blaming the police more than the rioters. The dnc up next to respond. Plus, from politics to the streets of chicago where more than 50 people were shot in one weekend. Among the victims, two Police Officers and a teenage boy. A live report from the ground coming up. Plus, monday. Sarah ellis auditorium. John Michael Flynns criminal case alive for now, former assistant u. S. Attorney mccarthy joins us live coming up. Stay with us. To fix the economy we have to get control over the virus. Im releasing a plan to save lives in the months ahead. We need to increase federal support for testing, doubling the number of drivethru testing sites. We absolutely need a clear message from the very top of our federal government that Everyone Needs to wear a mask in public. Every single Frontline Worker should have the personal protective equipment that they need to be safe. We need to support schools and childcare programs so parents, if and when they can return to work, are confident that their children will be safe and cared for. And finally, we need to protect the populations most at risk our seniors, vulnerable populations with preexisting conditions. We need real plans, real guidelines, with uniform nationwide standards. Its a simple proposition folks, were all in this together. We gotta fight this together. Well emerge from this stronger because we did it together. Im joe biden and i approve this message. John joe biden returning to the campaign trail today. There has been some pressure on him to shift his focus to racial tensions and violence in states including wisconsin, which of course, a key battleground. This headline from political, biden forced to play on trump stirrup has Campaign Turns to racial strife. The democratic nominee wanted to talk about trumps performance on the coronavirus, but instead straddle a line on an civic rest. A senior spokesperson for the dnc, good to see if this afternoon. Let me start off with president tweeting a response to joe bidens speech that he gave him pittsburgh a short time ago. The president saying watch what biden had to say to me. Hes blaming the place more than the rioters and agitators and looters, which he could never blame or he would lose the radical left bernie support. Your response to the president. Wealth might think per usual the president as outright right lying on using his twitter feed. The American People would prefer that he would stop tweeting so much i may be start leading, but that is just not in his nature. Unfortunately what we have seen from President Trump is not only an incitement of violence but not only from the campaign, sort of talking about how this is beneficial to their campaign not only from the press secretary from the podium who would not renounce the murder by someone of protesters. So i think, you know this president has not shown any leadership in a way to heal this country. What we saw was the exact opposite from joe biden today where he is committed to uniting and healing this country instead of further data lighting it. John on that point, i did watch the former Vice President s speech today and i heard a lot about donald trump and the problem of violence in this country. What i didnt hear is a plan. I dont think so. Hes laid out plenty of plans, including giving money to Law Enforcement who are doing good work, who are doing Community Policing and the tools and resources they need to. What i would say we we have not seen a plan on donald trump is anything that gets the coronavirus under control. Anything that will try to heal the Racial Injustice that are in this country. We have seen none of that in four years from this president. John but what we have heard, literally a lot from the democratic side and not just necessarily the candidate but people putting pressure on the candidate to defund the Police Across the country. I think you have heard joe biden say many times and even on fox news, he does not support that but in fact more resources for Law Enforcement to do their work because we are asking Law Enforcement to do so much these days. So i think that is an outright lie that donald trump and his supporters have tried to peddle against joe biden but the American People know its not true. John Something Else the former Vice President said about President Trump. He cant stop the violence because for years he has fomented a period but the president had every opportunity to send in the National Guard to quell the violence. How is that fomenting . I mean, i just disagree. I would say Kayleigh Mcenany was asked during the White House Briefing if she would denounce the violent act that was committed by a rightwing commit Domestic Terrorist Group where he shot protesters and is now being charged with murder and she would not. She would not and neither has the president and quite frankly we have seen this time and again from the first day of the presidency. Donald trump has fomented hate, incited violence, celebrating those going into the cities and creating disturbances. You know, that is just not what we need in a leader right now. John what about this idea and sure the public will headline at the top of this that the president is forcing joe biden onto his plating field appear that joe biden would like to talk about the Coronavirus Response but for us to talk about the violence, which was not acknowledged for the most part for the entire four days of the democratic convention. Welcome i would say look, wht the president might have offered to Vice President the opportunity to do today show leadership, show leadership that has been lacking from Trump White House from day one. And that is honestly what Vice President has done. I thought there was an interesting poll active Duty Service Members who defend the country every single day. They are supporting Vice President biden because he supports them and they know he will keep this country safe. I think this is a point of great strength for the Vice President. John one oth
