Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Fox Report With Jon Scott 20200620

With a spike in coronavirus cases. We have fox team coverage, Casey Stegall has the latest on the protests, but we begin with chief White House Correspondent john roberts reporting live from inside the arena. John . Jon, good evening to you. This arena here is one of celebration for people who are glad to see President Trump back out, at a campaign rally. I have talked to a lot of them about the Health Concerns. They say look, they have a mask if they think they need it. There is also a lot of Hand Sanitizer around here. People had their temperatures taken. Theres masks if people want to use them. Where we are right now, the president will be landing in a little more than a half hours time, and the arena, the lower tier of seats is pretty much full. The floor is about a third full. The upper deck has yet to fill in. So theres still a lot of time for people to get in before the president makes his remarks, expected a couple hours if from now. The news this morning as well that as the advance team came in and were tested at a couple medical tents out back at the bok arena, that six of them tested positive for coronavirus. Campaign officials believe they didnt pick up the virus here in tulsa. It was likely during the last Campaign Event. It wasnt a rally, but it was a Campaign Event in dallas. President trump on his way out the door, the south lawn of the white house, getting into marine one, was looking forward to what hes got in store for tonight. Listen here. The event in oklahoma is unbelievable. The crowds are unbelievable. They havent seen anything like it. And we will go there now. Well hopefully have a good speech, see a lot of great people, a lot of great friends, and pretty much thats it. One of the other things that the president talked about on the way out to marine one was the new john bolton book the room where it happened. Of course there was the court action. The department of justice tried to get a temporary restraining order to prevent the release of boltons book next tuesday. Federal district senior judge denied the temporary restraining order, but did smack bolton around pretty hard saying, quote, defendant bolton has gambled with the National Security of the United States. He has exposed his country to harm and himself to civil and potential criminal liability, but these facts do not control the motion before the court. The government has failed to establish that an injunction will prevent irreparable harm. But President Trump didnt get the injunction of the temporary restraining order that he wanted. He was appreciative of what the judge had to say. Listen here. Whatever he makes he is going to be giving back in my opinion based on the ruling, he is going to be giving back. I think the judge was very smart and very indignant at what bolton did. I think it was a great ruling. Obviously the book was already out. Its leaked and everything else. He leaked classified information, so hes got a big problem. One of the things that the judge said was the horse was basically out of the barn, so temporary restraining order isnt going to do much. Chuck cooper, who is john boltons attorney, responded saying quote we respectfully take issue however with the courts preliminary conclusion that at this early stage of the case that ambassador bolton didnt comply fully with his contractual free publication obligation to the government and the case will now proceed to the development of the full record on that issue. The full story of these events has yet to be told, but it will be. Heres where we are with this, john boltons book will be released around the world on tuesday, but its probably not the last phase of the story. Likely a lot more to come. Jon . Jon sounds like it, john roberts in tulsa, thank you. So everyone attending tonights trump rally must go through a mandatory temperature screening before going inside the venue. Casey stegall is live outside the bok arena with those waiting to go through the procedure. Casey . Yeah, jon, were outside one of the main entrances into the whole venue, and this is inside the federallyprotected secure zone, as its called where the secret service are in charge. And we want to kind of walk you through the process of what folks are going through when they start to make their way into the arena or into the overflow space. Look at all those lawn chairs and the coolers on the side of the sidewalk there. Those have to remain behind. Folks have to ditch those before they go in. As we keep panning down that way, the first people they encounter after Law Enforcement are those ladies in the purple gowns. Then theyre given a face mask. If we continue panning around this way, folks then have to put the face masks on, which is why were wearing them right now. Then they walk down this tunnel right here. Not much traffic now. Its been slow and then heavy at times, but they go through that little tunnel. Then the next step they encounter, they will be given Hand Sanitizer. Then they have to have the temperature taken, digitally on the forehead. Then they are given a green wristband and allowed to proceed on in. We havent been told if anyone has not passed the screening. And if people have been turned away. As far as what folks think about these precautions, listen. I heard all the like the covid kind of like the cases are kind of spiking recently, so i think it is kind of good that they are having that, send everybody home that like has it or anything. And then the masks, if you actually have it, just dont know, preventing it from spreading. Safety first, i personally dont think [inaudible]. The temperature deal, it is hot out here. I hope everybody gets through safe. Were here to see trump. As we have been talking about, there are big Health Concerns about this rally, brand new numbers released today show a new high for daily coronavirus cases. Right here in tulsa, according to the health department, statewide, Oklahoma Health Officials Say the numbers have also been ticking up in the last week or so, and then adding a whole extra layer of worry is that city Officials Say so many people have come to tulsa from out of town, and if they potentially contract covid here, then they could carry it back to their respective communities. Jon . Jon Casey Stegall in tulsa, thank you, casey. The attorney general william barr today writing a letter to the u. S. Attorney for the Southern District of new york saying the president has fired him and just moments ago that attorney releasing a statement saying hes leaving his job immediately. It all comes after burman said last night he had no intention of leaving his job, hours after barr suddenly announced burman one stepping down. Jacqui heinrich is in new york city with more on all of this. Jacqui . Jon, Jeffrey Burman is stepping down after a fiery, but shortlived showdown with attorney general william barr. That statement just into fox moments ago, from burman reads in light of attorney general barrs decision to respect the normal operation of law and have deputy u. S. Attorney Audrey Straus become acting u. S. Attorney, i will be leaving the u. S. Attorneys office for the Southern District of new york effective immediately. Its been the honor of a lifetime to serve at this districts u. S. Attorney and a custodian of its proud legacy. But i could leave the district in no better hands than audreys. Now it appears that burman was willing to step down after barrs previous plan to have the u. S. Attorney of new jersey oversee both districts. President trump claimed earlier today he was not involved in burmans firing which called into question barrs authority to oust burman given that barr cited legal code demonstrating u. S. Attorneys are subject to removal by the president. If the president was not in fact involved, burman could have challenged barr on this, but it appears from his statement that he will not. Barr proclaimed yesterday berman was stepping down, and the president was nominating jay clayton, the chairman of the sec sec as his successor. Berman last night said he only heard it in a press release and had not resigned and didnt intend to. Today he said he had had conversations. Barr wrote at the time, unfortunately with your statement of last night, youve chosen public spectacle over public service, because you have declared you have no intention of resigning, i have asked the president to remove you and as of today, he has done so. And that exchange is the latest episode in the showdown within the Justice Department and fuelled criticism that barr had politicized the agency. Southern district of new york has been a thorn in the president s side for years, overseeing multiple investigations into trump allies, including Michael Cohen and rudy giuliani. Recently it came into view again after the Justice Department tried to block the release of a book by former National Security advisor john bolton, which contains allegations the president tried to interfere with a probe overseen by berman. All this culminating in just 24 hours. Certainly many different waves of it. This is the apparent conclusion just 24 hours later. Jon . Jon Jacqui Heinrich in new york city, thank you. Police are investigating a deadly shooting in seattles occupied protest zone. One person was killed, another critically injured this morning inside the capitol hill neighborhood thats now been dubbed chop. Dan springer is in seattle with more. Dan . Yeah, jon, unfortunately, shootings happen in big cities across america, but only in seattle right now do you have a shooting where police and fire are dispatched to the scene but cant safely get to the victims. Heres dispatch, about 2 30 this morning a male is running towards the restrooms of the previous location, with a gun and possible gunshots heard. We do have a report of a victim shot outside rancho bravo. Six to eight Seattle Police officers in full riot gear responded to that call, but when they got inside the occupied protest zone, they were quickly surrounded by an angry crowd and hit with thrown bottles. Unable to safely get to the shooting victims, they were forced to back out. Earlier, friday night, President Trump tweeted, quote, waiting to hear from demrun Washington State as to whether they want help in taking backseatle taking back seattle. Ready to move quickly. Seattles leadership has shown no desire to any federal help. Meantime disruptions to normal life continue. Last night a group of protesters shut down i5 the major interstate through seattle, and residents in and around the occupied protest zone are getting fed up. Who is thinking that it is a good idea to have the police leave an area, densely populated area in a major city and leave the residents without any protection . Now both shooting victims were black men. The youngest was 19. He was the one who was killed. The other man is fighting for his life in critical condition. Police say they have opened up an investigation but they have no suspects and how do you conduct an investigation . They never got inside to process the crime scene, never got to interview any of thens withes. Jon never got to interview any of the witnesses. Jon . Jon unbelievable, dan springer in seattle, thank you. More than two dozen states seeing an increase in coronavirus cases in recent weeks, including texas, arizona, florida, pushing the nationwide total to more than 2. 2 million. The number of deaths now approa approaching, 120,000, although the death rate is on decline. Anita vogel has more. As people were starting to feel a sense of freedom again, some rules are getting more strict. Thats because in the last week or so, as many as 27 states, including california have seen the number of covid19 cases go up. Health experts and government Officials Say many factors are to blame, including cities and towns opening back up for business, people forgetting to social distance and wear their masks, and of course we saw lots of large gatherings during the protests. And as well as the simple macht that more people are now taking and as well as the simple fact that more people are now taking tests. Officials in texas say this is no time to let your guard down. The spike in the hospitalizations is real and more dangerous than its ever been. To be clear, this is not a free pass to avoid social distancing, minimizing contacts or washing hands, all of the experts have told us wearing face coverings is not a replacement for social distancing. And now the rules are tightening up in some states with mandates for Wearing Masks. At least 14 states now require the use of face masks in most public places, health facilities, public transportation, even if you are in a car with other passengers. But while data from Johns Hopkins University Shows cases are spiking around the nation, the number of deaths is actually down. Experts say the situation in new york has dramatically improved, and with increased testing, the numbers of people testing positive are actually younger. Here in california, almost half of the new cases are reported to be people under the age of 34, and those people tend to recover a little bit more quickly. Until there is a vaccine, Health Experts say social distancindis wearing a mask and washing your hands are still the best defense against the virus. Back to you, jon. Jon anita vogel in los angeles, thank you. For more on this, lets bring in a family and emergency physician and fox news contributor. So the numbers are rising, but the death rate seems to be dropping, doctor, why . Yes, thats correct. The number of hospitalizations are decreasing. The number of deaths are decreasing. This is because for the most part americans understand the risk, and understand the fact that this virus is highly transmissible and contagious. Most americans know to social distance, stay at home, avoid unnecessary large crowds, wear your mask and keep your hands washed. We did see, for example, memorial day weekend, the protests, large gatherings, thats where we see a little bit of a spike. Most of those spikes are in younger patients. Most of the patients i have had in the past couple of weeks, were younger, in their 20s and 30s. The risk, we are all still susceptible, and the risk is still high for everyone, but we are seeing a lot of cases now in those who are younger because a lot of younger people, a lot of the younger patients feel they are invincible and like your reporter said earlier, they forget to social distance. They forget to wear their masks, but thats why we have to continue to remind and educate the public. Jon well, lets take a look at couple of states that have high retirement populations. Arizona is the first one. When you look at the number of cases in arizona, over the last five days, about 2300 new cases reported on tuesday. 1800 wednesday. 2500 thursday. 3200 friday. And 3100 so far today. Now, is that just because more people are getting tested, and therefore, you know, the numbers are going up, more test results means more positives . Sure, thats part of the reason. Its a layering effect. Theres more mobility. People are out and about. Were reopening the country, in certain parts of the community. Were doing more testing. Some people also arent practicing social distancing and arent wearing their masks. Thats why we will see more number of cases as well. We need to look at the hospitalization rate and the death rate. Thats just as important if not more important. For example, if we look at arizona, if you look at florida, yes, theyre approaching 4,000 cases a day, but florida, for example, they are prepared to tackle and they have the resources for hospital capacity, hospital surges, if that happens. Arizona, im concerned about because theyre now reaching 84 icu capacity. So we have to look at the big picture, even though the number of cases are up, the number of, again, hospitalizations and deaths are down, and the ultimate goal is to make sure we dont overwhelm and overburden the hospital system. Thats the key here is making sure we have enough resources. Some of the states understand that. Thats why, for example, the governor of florida is not shutting down or scaling back on reopening and same as we see in texas because we dont just look at the number of cases. You have to look at the big picture. It is different in each state. Jon we have been talking to you really since this outbreak began. Real quickly, your thoughts, your advice to people about how to continue to stay safe . Our best defense is wear a mask or a bandana or some sort of facial covering. Just think about it. If youre coughing or talking or sneezing, those viral particles will get into the air and into the eyes, nose and mouth of other people. If you simply wear a mask, you are going to protect yourself. You are going to protect your neighbor. We can quick lly we can quicy eradicate this disease. We want to reopen. We can do that if we meet the requirements. We can meet the requirements by social distancing, washing your hands we dont want to experience the detrimental impact of continued shutdown which could have consequences on most americans if that doesnt happen. Jon absolutely, doctor, thank you. Thank you, jon. Jon we will be right back with more fox report. Safe drivers save 40 guys guys check it out.

Jon the twin cities celebrated juneteenth with rall lis and marches commemorating george floyd and more events took place today including a memorial run in floyds honor. Meanwhile minnesotas governor and lawmakers stayed at the capitol late into the night unable to find Common Ground on a Police Reform package. Mike tobin live in minneapolis with the latest on all of that. Mike . And jon, people continue to stream to this location where george floyd died. It has become a memorial to him. Meantime, one of the officers charged in connection with his death is out of jail. Jay Alexander King posted bond and got out at 7 00 last night. Hes one of the officers charged with aiding and abetting felony murder as he was on the scene when floyd died. His bond was set at 750,000 with conditions and among other things prevent him working in Law Enforcement while he awaits trial. Political controversy from the memorial site. Johnson who is running against congresswoman omar set up his Campaign Tent at the george floyd memorial on juneteenth. That prompted his opponents and the Democratic Labor Party to tweet that they were shocked and appalled that johnson trump backed republican should apologize. Johnson responded. I will apologize when they apologize for all the destruction that theyve caused to this city, when they apologize for the decades of leadership that has not addressed this issue, so if anyone owes an apology, they do. And Police Reform failed in minnesota. A special session of the legislature produced bills that would have banned choke holds and warrior style training for police. Reforms were also intended to make bad Police Officers more accountable, but republicans and members of the dfl party failed to reach an agreement. The special session concluded. Jon . Jon mike tobin in minneapolis, thanks. Atlanta Police Seeing a surge in officers calling out sick. One week after the shooting death of Rayshard Brooks. Protests continue throughout the city with some riding through the streets on horseback. Bryan llenas is live in atlanta with that story. Bryan . Jon, good evening. Just a couple hours ago, the interim police chief here in atlanta, Rodney Bryant said he said frankly that there have been a higher number of people, officers calling out sick, over the last three days. He acknowledged that. He said that officers have been giving him varying explanations. One of those explanations, he said officers are questioning their training. Theyre feeling challenged and attacked and uneasy about seeing two of their fellow officers criminally charged so quickly, just five days after the killing of Rayshard Brooks. In a message to his officers, bryant said he supports them, but he also implored his officers to show up for work. We are all upset by the recent events and we are also concerned for our fellow officers. I implore you to channel the concern for the fellow officers by having their back. At this moment, i implore you to remember why you became a police officer, why we did not choose this line of work because it was easy. Weve not given up on this city. Nor will we tolerate lawlessness and injustice. Former officer Garrett Rolfe was charged with felony murder for shooting brooks in the back twice after brook stole his taser and officer Devin Brosnan has been charged with aggravated assault. Bryant said he was shocked and surprised that Fulton County District Attorney paul howard announced charges against both officers, before the Georgia Bureau of investigation finished its own investigation, which usually takes up to 90 days. Bryant emphasized the importance of, quote, due process. Meantime, atlanta fire investigators have issued an arrest warrant for a Natalie White, seen here in surveillance images. She is wanted for arson, one of multiple people suspected of burning down the wendys fastfood restaurant in the hours after Rayshard Brooks was killed at that parking lot, but there is a twist, jon. It now appears that Natalie White may have some sort of personal connection with Rayshard Brooks. In reviewing Police Body Cam footage from that night, brooks is heard saying, quote, Natalie White, she is my girlfriend. He said that he had told white he was going to the wendys, and he was then going to go to work. We will have that audio from the Police Body Cam footage in the 7 00 hour. Jon . Jon brian yen bryan llenas in atlanta, thank you. Other headlines around the globe, in the u. K. Police are investigating a stabbing attack as terrorism related.

Jon about 90 minutes from now, President Trump is set to hold his first rally in months marking the relaunch of his 2020 campaign. Im jon scott. This is a special edition of the fox report. Its the bottom of the hour, if you are just joining us. Take a live look now at tulsa, oklahoma, where the president s appearance is drawing huge crowds of supporters, as well as protesters. Mark meredith is live outside the arena. Mark . Jon, good evening. Tonight tulsa police, secret service and other law form groups are taking every precaution they can. This is one of the main gates where the people have been going through all day long, as they try to get into the rally. You can see tulsa police have their riot gear ready. Also, you see bottles of water. They are banned items, stuff that cant come in. They have been abandoned as people go inside. Earlier today our cameras were there as one woman was escorted out of the perimeter. The woman was asked to leave by the campaign but refused. Police say the campaign can force people out they dont want there as it is a private event. Several protesters have been gathering outside the security checkpoint. Downtown tulsa is essentially closed where many businesses have decided to board up to make sure no damage will get to them. Police have asked for demonstrators to clear the streets, but so far they havent decided to do that. We havent seen any major clashes with police. People who have decided to come out to hear from the president , those supporters have come from multiple different states, from california, texas, florida, we had chance to catch up with a few of them earlier today who said they werent going to miss this for the world. Really amazing for the president to come so close to us, when it is already a pretty red area. For us to show our appreciation, means a lot me. Im all from freedom. You know, you have the freedom to choose what you want to do in america. You can go protest. You can go to a rally. You can wear a mask. Thats one thing we have heard over and over again, is that some people werent sure they were going to wear a mask once they were inside the arena. People were waiting to see what it was going to be like. Majority of the demonstrators have been Wearing Masks as well as several of the president s supporters. Plenty of people coming to see the action. It remains peaceful at this moment. We will let you know if that changes throughout the night. Back to you. Jon Mark Meredith covering the president s visit to tulsa. Thank you. Joining us now, the executive Vice President of the Trump Organization and of course the president s son, eric trump. We know its a little loud there in the arena where you are, eric. Appreciate you joining us. Hope you can hear me. What are you looking i can. The place is going absolutely crazy. Listen, we had over a million sign up for this rally. It is a great way to spend fathers day. You see the spirit in this room. It is unbelievable. I mean, people in the room, they bleed red white and blue. They love my father. They love this nation. They love our country. As you can probably hear right now, they really love our country, and it is great to be in this group again. This really kicks off the campaign season, and were thrilled to be in oklahoma. Jon as you know, its been a controversial kickoff. There are a lot of Health Experts saying its too soon to be gathering people together in indoor facilities like this. This is going to be the largest indoor gathering in the country, really, since the whole covid19 thing began. How do you answer that . Well, listen, weve taken every precaution, and people here i can tell you feel very safe. They feel very comfortable, very safe. Weve done it the right way, but at some point you have to open back up our country. People have made their individual choices to come. People are obviously having a good time. You know what . Jon, you need this spirit back in the country. This is what the country wants. This is actually a great example of where the country wants to go. They want this energy. They want the spirit. They want to get out of their house. And i can tell you, as you can probably hear right now, our people want to be here, and they are having a great time. Jon interesting the contrast between, you know, the riots and protests that have taken place in public and some in the media dont seem to bat an eye about those crowds, but your campaign, your fathers campaign, has taken a lot of heat over this particular rally. Yeah, well, thank you for saying that. Its true. They dont mind if theres a protest with thousands of people walking down 5th avenue in new york city, but as soon as you get a great group of people, friendly, you know, innocent, nice people in here who want to come for a great cause, all of a sudden, because it is my father and because it is us and because it is a platform they dont approve on, you know, they all decide [inaudible]. There is a lot more love in this world than hate. I can tell you that. These people love this country and my father. Were going to win again in 2020. You mark my words. Were going to win. You see the energy. Were going to win this thing again. Theres a lot more love in this country than there is hate. Jon interesting that you bring that up right now, talking about the polls. Polls obviously werent right the last time around, but when you look at the latest polling, they dont look particularly strong for the Trump Campaign. Last month, a little over a month ago, the numbers showed joe biden beating your father 48 to 40 percent. This is a fox news poll. Now the spread has increased a little bit, 50 to 38 percent. Yeah. Its the same game they played last time in. The polls were wrong last time. They will be wrong again. I saw biden in a room yesterday. He had three people there, a little yellow circle. All of a sudden we have a Million People sign up for this. Who do you think has more enthusiasm . You know, a guy who doesnt know where he is or what you see behind me . The polls are wrong. They are manipulated and arent accurate. I dont think anybody would say that biden has any enthusiasm going into the next few months. He just doesnt. He doesnt have the support. He cant get people to show up for him. He doesnt have what my father has, and people are proud of this country, and they are going to vote for him again. Jon so the fact that you have been or your dad has been off the campaign trail for, what, almost four months now, this relaunch, are you expecting that this is going to turn around turn around the campaign, turn around the enthusiasm level and maybe turn around those numbers that i just put up . I dont think theres anything to turn around. I think were winning. I think you can probably tell were winning from the noise you hear behind me. The polls are wrong. You know, they are corrupt frankly. They always oversample democrats by 11, 12, 13 percent. They are National Polls which mean absolutely nothing when you are talking about 17 states that truly make the difference in an election. They are wrong. Again, you see biden. He cannot fill up a diner. He cant draw three people into an auditorium. His campaign is keeping him in his basement. He cant get through anything without making some horrible gaffes. The media is going to double down. They always do this. They are clearly on the side of joe biden and in the pockets of the democrats. They are going to get it wrong again and be embarrassed again. I cant wait for that day to happen. Jon it is clear that theres an awful lot of excitement in that room. I know a lot of well, tens of thousands of people who wanted to be in there couldnt be in there tonight. Eric, executive Vice President of the Trump Organization. Eric trump, thanks for spending sometime with us tonight. Thank you, jon. Great to be with you. Jon tomorrow on Fox News Sunday Chris Wallace talks with Senior Trump Campaign advisor and he has an exclusive interview with senior Biden Campaign advisor. Will also talk to the director of the Johns Hopkins center for health security. Thats tomorrow at 2 00 and 7 00 p. M. Eastern right here on fox news channel.

The president tweeting this morning to anyone looking to cause trouble outside the rally, he writes, any protesters, anarchists, agitators, looters, or low lives who are going to oklahoma please understand you will not be treated like you have been in new york, seattle or minneapolis. It will be a much different scene. Joining us now, louisiana congressman mike johnson. He is a Trump Campaign surrogate. Congressman, how are you doing tonight . Hey, jon, doing well. Jon the president obviously is touting a get tough message when it comes to, you know, the rioters, the protesters, so forth, who have made so many headlines over the past couple of months. Do you think that will serve him well as we head toward november . I think thats a very important and a winning message for the campaign this fall. I think theres a lot of people around the country. Im basing this on what my own constituents tell me and what i hear when i travel around the country, people are deeply disturbing about this. They understand that in america you have to maintain the rule of law. The rule of law is essential to enjoy all our freedoms, to have a free society. I think when you are talking about appealing to voters, i think the president s right to draw that contrast. He is the law and order president , versus what you see from joe biden and the other side. Remember, we have democrat colleagues in congress and many mayors, democrat city councils, progressives around the country, are wanting to defund the police. I think this is right where the president needs to be and the message will resonate. Jon we had the story earlier from our dan springer in seattle about that so called chop zone on capitol hill in seattle where last night a young man was murdered and another one shot, and police have not even been able to get in there and do an investigation. It doesnt sound like the United States of america. No, it doesnt. If thats a fare shadowing of things foreshadowing of things to come in a potential biden administration, i think voters will do the right thing. Some may not like President Trumps style or the way he tweets sometimes, but at the end of the day, their safety and security is paramount. I think they understand there is a deep contrast and a big difference between what President Trump has done and will continue to do and what somebody like joe biden would do. This is the president has a great track record to run on. He has a great message, and everyone knows that hes the one that will maintain order. He has a record of that. He will continue to do it. Jon let me read to you from part of an oped that ran in the oklahoma. This was written by alicia andrews, the Oklahoma Democratic Party chairwoman. She writes, when he, meaning the president , calls for law and order, he isnt talking about fairness, integrity or even keeping the peace. Trump just wants us to be quiet, as the backlash to his trip has proven, hes going to be sorely disappointed. Take that one on, congressman. Is that is this just a case of the president wanting protesters or those who disagree with him to be quiet . Its an absurd argument that shes made there and not based upon the facts. The president has acknowledged the big difference between peaceful protests and legitimate 1st amendment events and expression, like hes having tonight, versus rioters, looters and anarchists. There is a big difference. I think the American People can see that and understand it clearly for themselves. The president supports peoples right to speak up and to have disagreement. What he doesnt support is rioting and looting and tearing up of private property. Thats what we have seen in so many of these cities, when these democratic mayors have allowed it to get out of hand, and the president says not on our watch. If they dont clean it up, we will do it. I think he means that and i think the commanderinchief has that responsibility and people are grateful to see him exercise it.
