There 62,000 National Guard troops were destroye were deplog on stand by in washington, d. C. Steve stores in new york city smashing glass and leaving nothing behind. Aishah with us. As the sun comes up. You see the damage behind you. Soon the owners will come and they will be heartbroken. That is absolutely right. In fact, guys. There is no shame in these looters. And, you are right. The sun is up. You would think that they would go home. There are still looters out here. In fact, in the last 15 minutes, i saw some folks get out of a car and walk up to this store, this moose knuckle store and literally jiggle the doorknobs to try to open the door as if they were going to walk in and see what was left. They eventually left. Over here, look at this store over here. Watches of switzerland. Sells rolex watches. The good piece of news today i just talked to the owners. They have said they had already removed all of their merchandise, all of their jewelry so not a single piece of item was stolen. But lots of glass broken all over the place. They are here. They are cleaning up. And they are heartbroken as you said. Lets take a look at some video now earlier that we just shot in the last hour. Police have made arrests earlier today. In fact, three people just arrested right in front of a confiscated bags of stolen merchandise from their their car had arizona plates on it. So out of state. And my colleague, brian earlier tonight saw multiple out of state plates, new jersey, pennsylvania, connecticut, so clearly these are outsiders come in to loot. I want to show you some video from the worst of the looting overnight. Hundreds of people swarming into soho this shopping district. Witnesses say as early as 11 00 p. M. They showed up and it went on for hours until about 4 00 a. M. Our crews saw vehicles stolen to the brim. People hopping from one store to the next. Garbage bags full of stolen goods. Even using city bikes here to get away with their goods. And started breaking off into smaller groups. This is really a game of cat and mouse. More of them, less of the police. Police would move from one corner to another. The looters would then move, too. And break into the stores. They brought hammers. We saw some box cutters. They were prepared. And they were even breaking threw the plywood. That some stores had tried to put up earlier yesterday. The night stearated with thousands of protesters swarming Barclay Center last night. Those protesters shut down the manhattan bridge. Then they marched from brooklyn over to manhattan. Its really hard to believe, guys. That those Peaceful Protesters are the same people that came here to soho to loot. Its really hard to put those two groups together. We really do think that a lot of these folks that came here today were from out of state, lots of outofstate license plates. They are still moving around the area. We have seen them drive past in cars. They make eye contact with me and my crew. They look at us and check us out they say you are not intimidating and get out and see what we can grab. Brian aishah, quick question, i understand there were stores that hired private security to protect their place. I have think it was even the nike store. Dont you think that today, looking arranged, its up to each individual store to actually provide their own security because even though we have 41,000 nypd, it clearly is not enough . Its not enough, brian. And the reason is because there is so much going on all over the burrows. The nypd is stretched thin. And the looters know that. They come here almost with a plan. They have a plan of action. You are right there. Were some stores with security. We were told, again, by our crew that was here earlier in the evening and they said those stores were safe because they had hired security. But i have seen in the last 24 hours. I have seen several stores putting up plywood sort of preparing for this and that wasnt enough. The plywood was torn off. People brought tools. They brought the box cutters. The hammers. They were ready they were ready to go shopping. Steve yeah. You know, and aishah as we look at your live shot there in soho over in chicago yesterday. Mayor light foot said that the violence seemed to be preplanned because she said, you know, somebody will break in to a store and a uhaul will magically appear right in front of the door just as they break, in just to cart off all of the stuff. You know, we dont know who, if anybody, is organizing this. But there does seem to be some orchestration or some planning. Even if you are right. Even, steve, if its just a group of friends. We have seen groupings of four, five, six people. Both male, female. I have saw a group of three girls walking down the street in front of clear view of the police. They were rolling a suitcase, a carryon and carrying shopping bags. So, yeah. They have a plan. They come in a group of people. They have make sure they have someone in a get away car thats ready to pick them up and they get out of here. And its not going to be surprising if this continues because i mean, these Business Owners they know. I mean, they are trying to prevent this as much as possible but its been happening pretty much every night. It wont be surprising if it happens again tonight. Ainsley we keep hearing people say none of this is about george floyd. Ruining a meaningful protest. And the mayor of atlanta said this is not in the spirit of mld jr. Aishah, stay safe down there. All right. Its 6 06 on the east coast. Lets head out to the west coast of california where the riots brought chaos up and down the coast line. Looters smashing into santa monica stores in broad daylight. Leaving streets littered with broken glass. Police arrested hundreds of people, brian. Brian similar scene playing out in long beach. In san diego, a bank completely engulfed in flames. Burned to the ground. Also, in that city, a Police Officer was forced to drive through a crowd of protesters to get to safety. And in oakland, california, rioters driving cars, willynilly on the streets that are empty. Meanwhile, mayors throughout the state have begun placing curfews with some starting as early as 4 00 p. M. Which is extraordinary, brian. That, i mean, the curfew in washington, d. C. Just ran out at 6 00 a. M. But to think that its going to start at 4 00 p. M. The night before just goes to show you that they are trying desperately to gain a handle on this. Brian steve, i was there in 1992 living in los angeles during the riots. And they shut it down at 6 00, if i remember correctly. And you would drive down one of the most busy freeways normally. The 10 freeway you can possibly be on in the country, and it will be totally empty. People paid attention that wanted to be be on the side of law and order. They do Pay Attention out there. Especially with unrest. The other big challenge as most people know out in california is there is no big new york city manhattan where the density is there. There is santa monica, maria delray and los angeles. The lapd because the nature of this l. A. Is spread out is diverse and out. Its going to be easier for the anarchists and the rioters to diversify and avoid Law Enforcement. Thats one of the big challenges of being out on the west coast and trying to fight this unrest, ainsley. Ainsley yeah, i know. It baffles me when you look at these images. So many people have worked so hard to build their businesses. We went through covid and they werent. Brian we arent through it yet. Ainsley i know. I know. More than 300 people arrested in minneapolis in that area. Ground zero for the nationwide anger. Look at this video. A truck driver recklessly barrels into a crowd as people run for their lives. Matt finn is live in minneapolis as the city is under a mandatory curfew. Matt . We are at the scene right now where george floyd died one week ago. And ever since, unfortunately, there has been seven days of unrest here. Days of violent riots. And yet another chaotic night last night. Police arrested at least 150 people alone that blatantly violated the curfew. Minneapolis police also tweet add short while ago they are finding Water Bottles filled with gasoline hidden in bushes. And asking people to call 911 if they find anything like this. Also police say they responded to a reports of a habitat for humanity house being looted overnight. The governor here in Law Enforcement has become much more revealing about how stunningly violent minneapolis riots have been. Law enforcement says they have switched their tactics they are now going on the offense and discovered cars without license plates driving around with rocks and weapons. Took ar15s off of people. We took guns off of people. We noted that once again, their tactics had also changed. We noted that we were seeing cars drive through our neighborhoods and to our communities without any license plates on them. And with their lights out and their windows blacked out. Also a shocking scene hard to watch. A driver barrels his tanker truck through a crowd of Peaceful Protesters on i35 yesterday. Somehow no deaths. No major injuries reported. The driver was arrested. Its not certain what his exact intent was and we are giving you a live look again at the scene where george floyd died one week ago. There is a peaceful protest happening right now. A sitin demonstration. And here in minneapolis, over the past couple of days. The mayor and the governor said several times it appears outside groups might have been instigating this even pointing to white nationalists. The governor has had to walk back his statements because arrest records show that the majority of people that were arrested were, in fact, from minnesota. And the governor says he just didnt want to believe that people from his own state were causing these violent riots. Back to you guys. Brian all right, matt finn, anthony thank you very much. Looking at minneapolis and what has happened we see the utter destruction and see the hope in that some tactic tactic did woro control the city. Are the goal of the anarchists the rioters. Make things better between races. To make america a more cohesive unit fair country or destroy every single city so america economically can never get off its back that the pandemic has put us on as we begin to recover . They are destroying cities and blocks in a way in which its hard to imagine in the shortterm we can possibly recover at all. In fact, earlier, charles stots and casey white, owners of the town hall diner talked about the damage done to their business, their livelihoods and thinks its emblematic of whats going on across the country as we get up today. Listen. We have been shut down now for months because of covid. Now, how much longer are we out of work and, you know, the insurance doesnt cover the blood, the sweat, the tears. It doesnt cover the place where i mean, we were a neighborhood joint. It doesnt cover that spot that the neighbors can keep going to. Destruction of a community its brick and mortars. Its businesses. That will be the disconnect that will have [inaudible] days. Brian you saw the map, 41 states have similar stories like that with Business People inside of them. These restauran restaurateurs hn to their place to open it up especially in new york city, in connecticut, in new jersey. In the not too distant future. Now its wrecked. Its brought to its knees. I ask you, is your goal to make things better . Is your goal to honorable to honorable the loss of life . Or is your goal to just destroy the country . Who are these people coming in . Because, usually if you have a message, you want to say that message. Not put a mask on and destroy a business, ainsley. Ainsley you know, the town talk diner and pub. Look what it looks like now. The folks that own it. Those two individuals, brian, that you just introduced, they bought this restaurant. Its an historic restaurant. They said they were supposed to open today for curbside business. So they were all excited about that. Communities were ready to get back together. Maybe go out safely and do this, you know, follow the rules after covid and now were dealing with this, that couple even said that they were out there protesting one of the days peacefully. And they were trying to memorialize and remember the life of george floyd so that it doesnt happen again. And then they said they turn on the news. One of their employees called and said you might want to turn on the news and watch your business. The business was going up in flames will and being looted, steve. Steve its just heartbreaking. I believe there are two groups of people. I think there are the people who show up and do the protesting. And then there is another group and, you know, i dont know if its organized. Or not. But they are obviously using george floyd as an excuse for criminality. And you know, case in point, the new York City Police department before the riots start, they said that organizers were trying to raise money for bail for anybody who is arrested. And recruited medics and essentially medical teams in case any of them were injured by the police. And then they would have bike scouts go out and figure out okay, where arent the police . Where is an abandoned Police Vehicle that we could catch on fire . So obviously there is some organization. The big question is who is behind it. We saw over the weekend some images of people who apparently, it appears, money is trading hands. And i have sources in midtown in the Police Department who are wondering is there big money backing this . And, if so, who is it . Because right now, brian, we just dont know. Brian we dont know. You wonder if the president is going to be an address on this. It cant be about democrats or republicans. It has to be about restoring order in the country and moving forward. Expressing outrage at the george floyd was treated. Meanwhile, attorney general bill barr warning groups like antifa they will be treatied like domestic terrorist.

The voices of peaceful protests are being hijacked by groups of outside radicals and agitators we must have law and order in our streets and in our communities. And it is the responsibility of the local and state leadership. Steve there you have attorney general fox news alert. Law and order looting and destroying Small Businesses. Barr warning violent extremist groups will be treated as domestic terrorists. Here to discuss former federal prosecutor brett tolman joins us from the Salt Lake City area. Bret, over the weekends, the president of the United States said that they were going to designate antifa as a terrorist group i have been reading in the major papers he cant do that can he . Well, you know, i dont think what is he talking about is a Foreign Terrorist Organization or an fto. What he is describing is what the department of justice has done before. They have designated ecoterrorists and terrorism. There is a intention to investigate whether there is connections across the country with these rioters. Steve sure. The thing about antifa its not a National Group per se. There is no centralized leadership. Its hard to get a handle on it. Yeah. It is. You know, there are two possibilities here and why you need the department of justice and the fbi investigating this because they are very good at making connections where r. Where there is communication among an organization it. Doesnt have to have a headquarters and a door front, a store front it. Has to be an organization. They could bring ricco charges and cce. Continuing criminal enterprise charge. And why the fbi, i think, is really important, steve, is because they can coordinate among themselves and local investigators to peace together what is happening across the country because there is too many people now that are arguing these are outsiders that are coming in. And thats what we need to get to the bottom of. Steve thats right. You know, we just heard from matt finn. He said that the governor had to walk back, you know it, seems like a lot of these people are from out of town although mayor de blasio over the weekend said that largely it was out of towners there are some locals joining. But to his point, famously now, unfortunately, those officers vehicle that was torched by a molotov cocktail in new york city, the two sisters involved in that were from 120 miles away. And because the d. A. Still has not brought charges in new york, the feds struck them with federal charges about destroying a Police Vehicle. Yeah. I mean, we are seeing it also here in salt lake. Its hit close to home. My future soninlaw is a member of the swath team here in salt lake, was called in. I talked to him. He described it as something he has never seen before. The things they were doing. Near live two dozen. Just in salt lake, Police Officers had to receive medical help as it was a situation they could not control so it needs to be a coordz nateed response. Everybody is nervous. Everyone feels frustrated b
