FOXNEWSW Outnumbered Overtime With Harris Faulkner June 1, 2020

Officials warn that peaceful gatherings to protest George Floyds death are being hijack hijacked. Well, theres no doubt is a challenging time. I would make an argument this is one of the most challenging times ive seen in 30 years. I think people need to understand when they see the Police Officers out there. As they are right now, as we are talking, trying to keep peace. They are doing the best they can, they are extremely, it extremely difficult situation. Harris in minnesota we just saw the governor talking about this, at his News Conference with officials joining him there. Shocking video in minneapolis of a tanker speeding toward protesters on a highway bridge. 5,000 to 6,000 people on that bridge at the time. Police arrested the driver, no one fiercely hurt. Just moments ago, the commissioner of minnesota Public Safety call that nothing short of a miracle that nobody was hurt or killed. Fires are raging in washington during demonstrations, that happening again overnight, including at the historic st. Johns church not far from the white house. We have live team fox coverage on all of it. Kristin fisher standby live at the white house. First, lets go to Steve Harrigan in minneapolis with the latest. Steve, already activity in that city. Thats right, harris. About 150 arrests overnight, mostly for violating that 8 00 p. M. Curfew. It really was a far cry and very different from the violence and widespread fires. Police asking more aggressively, using pepper spray, tear gas, confronting this protesters before they could get a foothold. There was also an appeal for calm from George Floyds broth brother. If youre angry, its okay to be angry. But channel your anger to do something positive, or make a change another way. Because we have been down this road already. The anger, damaging your hometown, thats not the way you want. There was a near tragedy yesterday afternoon on the i35 bridge, about 5,000 peaceful protesters. We were right behind them when a tanker truck spread about 30 Miles Per Hour through the middle of some of those protesters. The driver was pulled from a cab, he was beaten by some of the crowd and tried to be protected by other members of the crowd before police came and arrested him. Hes with the governor had to say about that near tragedy. I was breathless as i watched it, because i thought i was going to witness dozens or hundreds killed in the immediate crash. My fear was the intentional thought of detonating that tru truck. The next couple of hours, we expect a press conference and the results of a private autopsy from the floyd family. Harris, back to you. Harris Steve Harrigan, thank you very much. In our nations capital, u. S. Marshals, dea agents, and d. C. National guarNational Guard wer. Officers were injured as some angry protesters threw rocks and gasoline bombs late yesterday authorities were on alert for co days after President Trump was briefly taken into a bunker for his safety. Kristin fisher is live at the white house with the very late latest. Harris, President Trump just unloaded on the nations governors, calling most of them week and urging them to make more arrests and dominate the streets in the midst of these riots. He said, and this is a direct quote according to somebody who was just on this 11 00 a. M. Call with governors which was held in the situation room, he said, you have to dominate. If you dont dominate, youre wasting your time. They are going to run over you, you will look like a bunch of jerks. You have to dominate. The president also said that after three nights of violence and destructive protests right outside the white house theres going to be a clamp down in d. C. He said, in d. C. We are going to do something that people havent seen before. It is unclear exactly what he means by that at this point. We have the National Guard who has already been called in and i we are learning that attorney general bill barr, who was also on that call, as directed the bureau of prisons assented right teams. The president has not been happy with the citys mayor. Recently they were upset that she waited until 11 00 p. M. Last night to finally impose a curfew. Here is the White House Press secretary, who will be holding a briefing about an hour. I think when you look at some of the befuddling actions, like right here in d. C. , the mayor of d. C. Didnt issue a curfew until 11 00 p. M. Well, guess what . At 10 00 p. M. You had st. Johns church burning. Several other cities had curfews at 4 00 p. M. , 5 00 p. M. , 6 00 p. M. Some of the actions are not tough enough, as the president noted. Particularly with the mayor here in d. C. Over the last hour or so, d. C. s mayor has taken a bit of a tougher stance. She just imposed a curfew at 7 00 p. M. Tonight and tomorrow, and as for the citys police chief, he gave an update on the number of people who have been arrested. He said 80 people have been arrested, 44 charged with felony writing. Harris kristin fisher, thank you very much. I want to bring in fox news chief political anchor bret baier, also anchor an executive editor of special report. Bret, good to see it. A lot happening in the area where you are now in d. C. We are getting that cut teleconference with leaders across the country, and one of e things we are learning behind the scenes the president is being urged to make some kind of address to the nation. This has been a drumbeat because weve been hearing it really since friday. What is the latest on that theyve learned . Well, i think there i is a hesitance inside the white house. And there is a determination whether hes going to do it or not. Saying speak and doesnt stop nt for. Those her words. There is a call that even some of its allies want him to step out beyond twitter and beyond these phone calls. What they are seeing in rioting and looting. Harris, there may be some skittishness on behalf of white house aides after the last oval office address, at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic and what was happening. The fallout from that speech did not go well. This is a different moment. This is america in crisis and likely youll hear from this president. Harris politics always being what they are, there is always a political opposite side to things. That is certainly playing out today. Joe biden is going after the president today, while he was meeting with black leaders at a delaware church. Lets watch some of that. The bandaid has been ripped off for this pandemic and this president. Nobody can pretend any longer what this is all about. Nobody can pretend who has been tearing it back. Its been minorities, its been blacks. Its been hispanic pluralists harris bret, i know this has only been a short period of time, and when you look at the entire history of the world, if you will, in terms of this pandemic. But it is certainly seeming that things were starting to change, things reopening right before this situation with george floyd. And how heartbreaking if it happens to him, and how heartbreaking whats happening to all of us now as we cant seem to come together. We saw the governor of minnesota just moments ago saying they are going to go on, its june 1st, 85 degrees in minneapolis. Having lived there, that is rare, rare, rare to get that kind of weather. We pray it lasts for a little while and that they warm up and can open those restaurants without more venues. But what is the president need to say it . Hes got joe biden coming out now. Joe biden is out, hes out of the basement. He is talking. On the other, we got to come together as a nation. Its complex, its nuanced. Clearly there are anchors and frustrations about what happened. Really heinous, that image of george floyd, and the Police Officer. The image that sits in peoples minds, those people protesters are making a statement. However, they are being coopted by rioters and looters and different groups. It could be antifa, other groups, but it is chaos in a number of these cities. There are more National Guardsmen called up now than they have had since hurricane katrina. There probably will be more with this special unit from the bureau of prisons, special Operations Response Team in miami and d. C. I expect tonight to be a big moment as far as standing up to some of those rioters. But there is this hunger for unity. Its hard to believe weve been through two crises in just as many weeks. Harris yeah, we are sandwiched in between tragedy. It is a rough spot to be as a nation. We are resilient, though. Before i let you go, we are going to be doing some special reporting and a deeper look into this group, and teeth. The president saying and also the doj looking at what they can do legally with aunt eva. Politically, what does this mean, this moment . Listen, politically, we dont know how its going to turn. In 1968, richard nixon, when he was running for president , ran a highline order platform in the wake of protests and riots that got out of hand. That was successful for him. Whether that is going to change, independents will be swayed, depends with the president does. They are big moments for this president. There are big moments in the coronavirus, big moments right now. So far he has put a lot of onus oon the governors and their leadership or lack thereof from his phone call. I would venture to guess you hear from this president either today or in the next few days. Harris bret baier, we will hear from you at 6 00 tomb easter. I always tune in. Special report. Thanks for being here with me. We were just talking about this, President Trump blaming antifa for much of the violence we have seen across america and cities. What is antifa, exactly . And how far as they reach a question mark plus, the growing calls for charges against the other officers who stood by while george floyd suffered and died. The Minneapolis Police chief says they are complicit. Reaction from trey gowdy, who joins me on the program. And im looking for this, im looking for those points of goodness and of hope. I tweet about this a lot. In the midst of the pain in the violence and the chaos, there are constant reminders of what we can be as americans. That there is goodness in peoples hearts, together.

Com moving today. Harris as protests give way to violence nationwide, President Trump is singling out antifa, the loose affiliation of leftwing activists, saying the u. S. Will be designating nt for a terrorist organization. Who exactly are these people . Many people want to know the answer to that. Lets get into it. Mark meredith explains. He did some deep dive reporting on this. Mark, school s hey, harris. Good afternoon. Where were standing was really ground zero for the protests outside the white house last night. You can see come as you take a look right now, a much calmer situation. We are called because you see traffic is being blocked right here on 16th and h. As you talked about, the government is concerned antifa, short for antifascist, could cause more damage night. Its important to point out we still dont know a lot about the group. It dates back to the nazi german era. His decentralized, there is no organizational hierarchy. Members are known to embrace many different viewpoints, some of them including anarchism, socialism, and communism. The white house has repeatedly labeled antifa as a threat to National Security and, as you mention, harris, President Trump says he wants to declare them a domestic terror organization. He has taken extraordinary action, talking about activating the nutritiona National Guard hn minnesota. Criminalizing interstate travel geared toward inciting violence, making sure those to individuals are prosecuted relabeling atif as a domestic terrorist entity that will be prosecuted as such. I thought this is interesting, the acting chairman of the intelligence committee, marco rubio, boil it down more. He said, many of these professional agitators dont fit a simple left versus right identity. They are part of an antigovernment extremist movement. They hate Law Enforcement i want to tear the whole system down, even if it requires a new civil war. That mirrors some comments we saw from attorney general bill barr. Also i want to mention where you are complete seen so much of the graffiti is starting to get cleaned up. Businesses still boarding up so many of their windows. A lot of people trying to prevent further damage from what we saw last night. Harris, back to you. Harris mark meredith, thank you very much. Meanwhile, current and former government officials are warning there could be some legal hurdles to try and designate antifa as a terrorist organization. Jeh johnson served as Homeland Security secretary under president obama. Here he is. The state department has the authority to designate a Foreign Terrorist Organization as such. There is no Legal Authority in the United States code or the constitution to designate a domestic movement as a terrorist organization. Harris former congressman trey gowdy chairs the House Oversight committee and is a former federal prosecutor. Great to have you on the program to talk about this. Good to see you. Thank you. Harris lets start with what those convocations would be. You heard the former lead security secretary, jeh johnson, talking about legally how you designate antifa as a terrorist organization. I dont think anyone knows. I dont think there is a protocol for identifying domestic groups as terrorists, and kind of the more important question is, practically, what does that designation accomplished . If bill barr which tell us, harris, if i get this designation im going to have access to charges i dont currently have and im going to have access to investigative techniques i dont currently have, then i am open minded. Tell you more. We already have something called conspiracy, which is in agreement, tacit or otherwise, between two people to commit a criminal act. It doesnt even necessarily need to be an overt act. Youve already got mayhem, youve got writing, antigang statutes, you got arson statutes. What do you get from this designation that you dont currently have . It would be my practical question. Harris all right, having been a chairman, i know it comes up that you would know if there are other groups that the nation would be watching, that a federal Law Enforcement would be watching. Outside of antifa, who else makes the short list . Well, i learned moral more on judiciary than i did on oversight. I will tell your viewers, depending on who is in power is who you consider a terrorist group to be. There are some on the left to consider the Life Movement to be domestic terrorists. I think we need to be very, very careful, because we may not always be in power. We have elections every four years. Do you really want the u. S. Government to be able to clear certain entities come or you disagree with their orthodoxy or philosophy, to be terrorist entities . Im a pro lawenforcement guide guy. Bill barr says yes, i need this designation for the following reasons, i am open to hear it. But im not aware of any statute he cant use now that this designation would all of the sudden empowering. Use what you have to stop what is happening in these cities. 90 of all crime, harris, 90 , state and local. Is not federal. If minnesota is having a problem, is your argument really that you lack sufficient statutes now to solve the Public Safety issue . Harris its interesting to get your perspective on that, and the other committees, obviously, that you set on. But questions about whether the other officers involved in George Floyds death will now face charges, and the Minneapolis Police chief says they should bear responsibility they were complicit as floyds family was calling for upgraded murder charges against derek chauvin, the officer who knelt on floyds neck for nearly 9 minutes. Lets watch. Being silent or not intervening, to me, you were complicit. So i dont see a level of distinction any different. If there were one solitary voice, that wouldve intervened and act, that its what i would have hope for. That did not occur. Harris how does the law see it . Well, harris, ive always felt there should be murder 1 and not murder 3. For the officer whose knee was on mr. Floyds neck, i think that should have been
