President trump calling on state governors to maintain order. I have strongly recommended to every governor to deploy the National Guard if a city or state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents, then i will deplot United States military. Steve this. Brian unbelievable. Steve as looting leaves major cities reeling. Massive crowds taking to the streets despite citywide curfews. Take a look at that even the iconic macys flagship in new york city hit by looters. That the miracle on 34th street macys. Thats the one where everybody drives their floats by on thanksgiving. We have Team Coverage this morning. Griff jenkins is live in our Nations Capital with the president s call for peace and how he is going to back that up with power. Aishah hasnie on the streets of new york city where the looting. Aishah, the sun is up. Has the looting stopped . The looting has stopped. We havent seen anyone for about an hour. We saw a couple of young men walk by with bags over their shoulder, masks covering them. We are not sure what the up to. We havent seen any more looting. Thankfully the sun is up. Essential workers getting to their jobs. They are having to pass things like this. This is the Urban Outfitters store here in herald square. Looters crashed through the glass and inside they created a complete mess. A disaster. And there is still some merchandise for the most part. A lot has been stolen here. We have seen a sephora store, sprint store. A Staples Store on my way in to midtown. This was a pretty violent night for Police Officers as well. As you mentioned, several attacks on officers caught on video. In the bronx dramatic video showing a sergeant struck by a black sedan near the call of a possible breakin. He is in serious but stable condition. The people in that car unfortunately got away. Another officer beat up on the street in plain view and in buffalo, a somebody is in custody this morning after a Police Officer and a state trooper there were hit by a car. They are in stable condition. Now, back here in new york city. Looters as you said really smashing their way through all across midtown, manhattan, also on the upper east side. Including as you mentioned the macys Flagship Store. All of this happening before new york citys 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 yorks 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 dont 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. They have moved it up to 8 00 p. M. Now. Weave will wait and see what happens. Obviously these looters dont really care whether there is a curfew or not. Back to you. Ainsley aishah sharks there were complaints about that curfew being too late yesterday. 11 00 is pretty late. They changed it to 8 00. The mayor and the governor did say they are adding 4,000 cops to the streets. Have you seen more of a presence of Police Officers . I havent personally seen more Police Officers. I have only seen maybe a handful here at the macys Flagship Store. I think they are just watching over because there are still stores like this one that are completely wide open. So, anyone even now can just jump in. But i havent seen a large police presence. We might see that a little bit later in the day. Brian aishah, i dont know if you can see this but you heard about it. Cover the New York Post. It says mayhem. A lot of famous covers of big times in our country. I cannot believe that monday seems to have been worse than sunday. Even though we knew it was coming. We had a curfew in place. How do you explain the brother comes out and says not in my brothers name you are not doing this. There is additional crackdown. There is more troops. In the end, there is more chaos. Is it possible the cops are overwhelmed . You know, we have been talking about that for the past couple of days. The cops are just trying to they are stretched thin. There are so many things happening in new york city alone, a protest there, looting here. Cars on fire there. Its hard for them to get to everything. Were really not sure what the orders that are coming from the top. Just to mention, also, by the way, you guys have talked about these bricks that are showing up out of nowhere. At the sprint store just a block away. We saw a brick in the middle of the store. I looked around as to where this brick came from. Couldnt find anywhere. You know, that i could tell where this brick may have unless somebody brought it with them in a car, i dont know where that came from. There are a lot of questions. But, it has gotten worse. Every single night, and people on the ground feel like its only going to continue to get worse. Steve yeah. I mean, at this point, whats going to stop it . Because so far they have been ineffective at doing that. Aishah, one of the problems is when the Police Officers grab somebody who has a great big shopping bagful of stuff, a number of them have told the Police Officers oh, this stuff . I just found it on the street. Its hard for the Police Officer to prove they got it from the macys or Nintendo Store or where they got it from if they got from some place or maybe they didnt find it on the street. You almost have to catch them in action. We were able to catch plenty of looters in action. That was the frustration of Business Owners who saw it happening before their very eyes. Went to the nypd Police Officers. Tried to get them to go make arrests and they felt like they werent responding. Again, were not sure why that was happening. But, got a lot of frustrated Business Owners. Ainsley the looters stole 2. 4 million worth of watches at the rolex store. Thank you, you are doing a great job out there, aishah. Smoke billowing over our Nations Capital as police and military crack down on new protests. Griff jenkins covers our Team Coverage in washington. Griff . Griff ainsley, good morning. The only sound we are hearing right now is that of the street sweepers in front of Lafayette Park where yesterday they saw more protests, which started peacefully. After the curfew that began at 7 00, things began to get violent. Tense mommys and lots of arrests. We seen something we never seen that was a military helicopter flying low off the top of downtown streets. They used that to track the protesters. In some cases im told it was used to sort of move them in certain areas. This all a part of a larger Law Enforcement footprint as the president says he is cracking down. Im dispatching thousands of Law Enforcement officers to stop the rioting, looting, have and lismm assaults and wanton destruction of property. Griff protesters swarmed down on our National Mall. Then they were moved north. This all a part of this Law Enforcement federal. And, of course, the d. C. Authorities along with the National Guard being deployed. Now the president then admonishing governors earlier in the day for not doing enough to crack down. Here in d. C. The mayor who has been critical of the president says she appreciates the security effort. I obviously dont agree with that type of language in it, but this is where our interests are the same. Keeping washington, d. C. Safe. Griff talk about iconic moments, it was after those rose garden remarks the president moved and walked from the rose garden from the white house across Washington Park to saint johns church. We will let you see where we are now as trash trucks going by. They are trying to clean these streets up now. See Historic Church over there. And as we let that go by. I apologize. Normally trash trucks dont wander into your live shot. Come with me for one second, robert. What i wanted to show you is the Lafayette Park and the rioting since that is still locking down that area. Secret service isnt letting anyone in there and it was cleared for the president s walk. Its taking criticism for that walk. But, of course, the president in any given city would have to have a secure corridor. In fact, when any president makes his way just to the meeting area here, they clear that where there arent even protesters. So we will see what tonight brings. One thing is for sure, its a different picture than what you are seeing there in new york. Even though we had protests and some tense moments. This larger Law Enforcement footing certainly worked and kept things under control last night despite the fact that there were somewhere 50plus arrests. Guys . Brian griff, was it mark millie that did the security last night because its washington, d. C. And not a state call . Was it the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff that set up the perimeter . Griff i dont know exactly who set up the perimeter but their perimeter that they set up around here in Lafayette Park, brian, is Standard Operating Procedure any time the president walks out whether he goes to, you know, meet at the house where when we have the inauguration, he will come out and do some things. So, you know, the perimeter was similar, but it was definitely this combination. I was telling steve in the last hour, i have covered this now for nearly 20 years. I have never seen it at this level. Here in d. C. They coordinated the Law Enforcement assets. Let me just show you. If you look actually close just at the three people standing right here. One is a secret service guy. Can you see that one is police. And then beyond the secret service guy. You cant quite see it but his chest the guy in the green see it . Fbi. Fbi, then of course that helicopter was the National Guard used here. The whole coordination is really sending a strong signal to the people the protesters and would be rioters and looters that theyre not going to tolerate it here and not going to be able to overpower the Law Enforcement effort. Steve because of the way the district is set up, the president and the federal government is able to send the troops a couple hundred from fort bragg the military Police Officers to the Police Officers of the streets of new york city without getting the mayors permission. Thats why they are there. But, griff, i have been on the north lawn when the president has come out and they blow a whistle that means they clear the park. Whats different about yesterday, there was a protest, i understand, about 1,000 people, but they used tear gas and rubber bullets and flash bangs to clear the park. Now there is a lot of criticism, nancy pelosi, Chuck Schumer, condemned what they did. They say it was just for a photo op. So thats, you know, thats the criticism the president is getting this morning. Griff well, thats a criticism that he is receiving and street sweeper is a little loud. I apologize but the reality of it is that on the previous night, listen, on sunday and monday, i counted the charges from the d. C. Polices information, they have charged 31 people so far with felony riot acts. Some of those included throwing bricks and projectiles toward the secret service agent. Many dozens who have been injured in first two nights. Last night they werent going to tolerate it. They said clear this area. If you dont, then we are going to move it and didnt waste any time. There is criticism on the force that should have perhaps been used. But when you are talking about the leader of the free world and the president of the United States, you dont want to be in the way and disobey their efforts to clear this area. So i understand the criticism coming, but this is a very secure area. Right nau it is locked down. If you have a hard press pass for the white house, you could go in there. If you are just anyone else, you cannot. Steve yeah. Griff, you mentioned the number of people who were arrested over the weekend. There is an item this morning in the the washington post. It says between saturday and monday, d. C. Made 106 arrests. Many for felony rioting. Most of them had to show up in superior court yesterday and, according to the the washington post, the u. S. Attorney for washington, d. C. Dismissed the rioting charges against most of them. And they asked for an official spokesman to explain why they didnt. So most of the people who were arrested, with rioting charges, were let go. Griff well. I will have to look into those cases. Because this is a very interesting point. I covered during the inauguration those that were charged for the same thing. Its 18 u. S. Code 2101. If you cross a state line and come here and participate in the conspiracy to incite a riot, then you will be prosecuted. And the difference is if you get arrested for destruction of property, breaking curfew, its a misdemeanor. Its a slap in the wrist. They bail you out. You are back at it the next night. If you are charged and prosecuted for felony riot acts. Thats three to five years in jail. And it is that sort of deterrent that they are looking forward to try to press people across the country on because its perhaps the only deterrent that may work. Now, in the case of the inauguration charges that we heard, i followed the cases very few, if any, were prosecuted. Its a similar situation where they had more than 200 from the Inauguration Day on those sort of charges. But most of them were not prosecuted. Steve. Ainsley all right, griff. Thank you so much for being live there in washington and bringing us that report. Lets hand it over to jillian. She is in the studio. Good morning, jillian. Jillian good morning. We begin with this fox news alert. The family of george floyd conducted independent autopsy. Two doctors hired by floyds family ruled a death from asphyxiation from sustained pressure when his neck and back was compressed cutting off blood flow to his brain. One of the doctors commissioned dr. Michael baden joined us moments ago. Have any significant medical problems at all. The family wanted to hire because the results that came out sort of implied that it was something other they thought, other than the what we saw on the video. Jillian the medical Examiners Office issued its final report the public report as their finding saying floyd died due to quote cardiopulmonary arrest with no mention of asphyxiation. Also breaking overnight, a Philadelphia Gun store owner shooting and killing an armed looter. Our fox affiliate in philadelphia reporting the owner opened fire after at least three looters cut his gate. Kicked open the door and pointing a gun at him. The owner says he has been on high alert after an attempted breakin earlier this week. We will have a live report from philadelphia in the next hour. Primary held in 8 states and washington, d. C. For the 2020 president ial race and congressional seat. Joe biden needs 425 more delegates. He could secure the democratic president ial nomination after todays vote. 479 delegates are up for grabs today. Thats a look at your headlines. I will send it back to you. Ainsley thats interesting. Thank you so much, jillian. Brian as violence. Former obama official claims russians could be to blame. Is that the case. Former cia case dan hoffman served in moscow. He is on deck. Discomfort back there . Instead of using aloe, or baby wipes, or powders. Try the cooling, soothing relief of preparation h. Because your derriere deserves expert care. Try new soothing relief. Can leave you holding your breath. But Bristol Myers squibb is working to change things. By researching new kinds of medicines that could help you live longer. Including options that are chemofree. Because were committed to bringing new hope into lung cancer care. I would bet based on my experience, im not reading the intelligence today or these days, based on my experience, this is right out of the russian playbook as well. I would not be surprised to learn that they have fomented some of these extremists on both sides using social media. I wouldnt be surprised to learn that they are funding it in some way, shape, or form. Brian that was former Obama National security advisor susan rice who wants to be joe bidens running mate. Here to react former cia station chief who served in moscow by the way dan hoffman. Hasnt seen any intelligence but why not throw it out there. Seems like russia. Does it seem like russia to you . No, it doesnt. And really in time of crisis, its so important to rye lie on the facts rather than idol speculation. Ambassador rice was fomenting and funding thi funding funding. There is no indication this is true. For sure Russian Media bye like iran are tracking closely and portraying weak and lawless to suit their own narrative there is no evidence to demonstrate russia is behind these demonstrati
