Arrests were made according to the police during the clashes that ensued. We are expecting an update. We had expected it this hour from the mayor of portland. Were just getting word that has moved to next hour. Thanks for catches us up. Another story that were following at this hour. The director of National Intelligence doubling down on his decision to no longer continue inperson briefings about Election Security. Josh letterman joins us from the white house. Even though the dni says it will stop the inperson briefings, any word from other department ws whether they will continue . Reporter the fbi and Homeland Security are going to continue. Just to break this down for viewers who might not be familiar with the office of the director of national int intelligen intelligence, John Ratcliff is the president s top adviser on entell jens matters. That job is to oversee the more than dozen u. S. Intelligence agencie agencies. The fbi, the cia, the nsa as well as the military intelligence units. The office of director of National Intelligence which has been reporting to congress on things like which Foreign Countries are interested in interfering in our elections. They will no longer provide the inperson briefings. Fbi and Homeland Security department will continue inperson briefings for lawmakers on things like misinformation campaign, Cyber Attacks that are threatening the election. System of those practical matters of getting into the weeds of it. As far as the big picture stuff that lawmakers want to hear from the administratioadministration going to get the inperson hearings there. Fbi is saying the fbi is committed to keeping congress informed on Election Security and maligned foreign influence threats. Protecting our elections remains a top priority for the fbi. Fbi saying it will not comment beyond those few words. Were hearing more from ratcliff on why he made this decision that his office will not be Briefing Congress in person. Take a listen to what he had to say. I dont mean to minimize russia. They are a Serious National Security threat. Day in and day out the threats we face from china are significantly greater. I think thats clear and anyone that sees intelligence knows that and anyone who says otherwise is just politicizing intelligence for their own narrative. Reporter this is really only increasing the concerns on capitol hill. They hear him say whag his concerns are not just leaks generally but specifically leaks that occurred that he believes created, gave lawmakers the ability to create this narrative about russia trying to interfere, to help President Trump and to hurt joe biden which we know is a fact. The Intelligence Community is said that. Publicly in the past but this is raising more concerns that the reason these briefings are being stopped may be because the white house and the Trump Administration dont want to have to answer specific questions from congress about what russia is. Ca doing in the0 election and what america might need to do to protect itself better. Josh, thank you for breaking that down. Joe biden and Kamala Harris are changing course slightly many the bid. A new online poll shows biden ease lead over trump has tighten to six points after the Republican National convention. Biden is says he and his running mate will resume in person campaigning after labor day in way that is totally consistent with being responsible unlike what this guy is doing. Biden is also pushing back against the idea suggested that the rnc that President Trump is tlau the law and order president while speaking to National Guard yesterday. I promise ill never put you in the middle of politics. Ill never use the military as a prop or a private malitia to violate the rights of citizens. Thats not law and order. You dont deserve that. In kenosha, wisconsin one week after jacob glak blablake , rallies and marches are continuing. A stop in kenosha is on the president s schedule this week. Do you think that will ease tension . Reporter he will survey sochl the damage. The white house not commenting on whether or not President Trump will meet with the family of mr. Jacob blake. We know Vice President biden had conversations with the blake family. Thats the question with the president ial visit, with the tension it brings in the amount of resources required when the president comes to town, the big question now is what impact will that have on the community. We had conversations with people here all morning long about that. Listen to a bit of our conversatio conversations. Everything thats happening around here, i feel like we havent finished the situation. We dont know what could still happen and the president visiting town takes a lot of resources that could be put slas else. Its a small town and not compared fort land or the other ones. Its still a big impact and its important for them to come out and see whats going on and be here personally. I think kenosha will visit for President Trump in the upcoming election. I think we need him here. We need strong leadership. People that are born and raised here are decembisgusted and ang with whats happened. Reporter there are political implications with election coming up in november. You heard that from the last gentleman in the mash up we had there. This is place that President Trump flipped in 2016 winning it by just about 250 votes after president obama won it in 2008 and 2012. The implications and the impact of that law and order message, that matters here and that registers with people here. Well see the impact that has. Also today we hear from the mayor be p mayor. He released a website trying to increase the Resources Available for Small Businesses. The motorcycle goes on by me. There we go.

We heard from his attorneys and they said his case was a classic case of your constitutional right to selfdefense. They went line by line going through the video they know out there.

President trump has been working hard to push multiple narratives as we head toward november 3rd. Joining me now for a deeper look is eugene scott and White House Reporter with the daily beast. Eugene, you wrote a piece highlighting the president s effort to try to appeal to undecided voters and suburban women. Hes struggling with both of those groups. O he spent most of the time attacking people he knows wont vote for him. Is that the approach . So far it has been. I think what the president has done so far demonstrates he believes the best attempt he has at winning voters who are not already on the trump train is by trying to convince them the alternative is worse than he is. Hes having a difficult time convincing many voters that america is what he says it is on the other side of the aisle in they can see these things for themselves. We have video tape showing that Trump Supporters have actually incredibly aggressive in attacking their political opponents and we have video tapes and other evidence showing many of the protesters that trump is calling thugs have been protesting peacefully. What he is doing right now instead of offering a counter argument and alternative to the issues they find to be so troublesome is just by painting his opponents in a way that they would not recognize. From rour reporting does Something Like that resonate with suburban women . It can. Very small Percentage Points as well. We know what trump is hoping to do with the groups that he is not likely to win is just decrease the amount of loss hes helping to receive. Some of these swing states, if he can shave off a couple of Percentage Points, it could keep biden from winning that state and in the long run benefit trump. I want to go to a piece you wrote. Two former top officials describe the president as refusing to believe things that make his look bad. You cant utter domestic terrorism and White Supremacy a rn the president for fear he would take it as implicit criticism of him. Im a little speechless so im going to give you the floor. Sure. For that story we interviewed multiple current and former senior officials in the Trump Administration. Two of them on the record. Their names are miles taylor and elizabeth newman. They both were top officials at the department of Homeland Security. They have come out very publicly to emphatically endorse joe biden against trump. A man they used to serve for years because they have become hes a existential and racist threat to the republic. Both of them testified that Top White House officials would tell them over the years when you go in there and brief the president and brief other Top White House officials there are certain words that you really should avoid using and key terms. Those include White Supremacy, election interference, russia and domestic terrorism. On the point of domestic terrorism, hes soften some because he found out earlier this year he would use that term to brandish against antifa and other left wing radicals who he doesnt like. The problem with the term domestic terrorism or d. T. And White Supremacy in years leading up if you were going to go to the white house and brief the president on the terms, it would boomerang on his rhetoric and remind him of criticism of what some of his own top officials believe is feeding some of this right wing terror in the country. Its another position these top fishes have been put in where his ego and feelings take precedence over effective policy making and decision making. If theres one thing we have seen from the last couple of weeks is the president goes back to his safe space and that is energizing the base. We saw that in his rnc speech feeding off the energy of the crowd that he does. Will that work this time . He is hoping so. Its been very effective for him so far. The Trump Campaign said their primary strategy would be to turn out the base. Thats an interesting Reelection Campaign approach. Most often president s try to connect with voters they didnt win the first go around trying to convince them maybe you should have given me another chance and this would be the time to do that. Thats not been the approach from trump. The thing the president may need to keep in mind is the base is much smaller than he seems to be aware of. He tweets about how high the support level he has with republicans but theres recent polling showing that one in four americans is actually a republican. The reality is probably serve him better to try to reach out to people outside of his political tribe. Eugene stcott, we value your reporting so much. We want to get to breaking news from the Biden Campaign regarding kenosha, wisconsin. What can you tell us . Reporter we got a statement from Vice President biden in his campaign that is connected to the violence you saw in portland, oregon overnight. We know one man was shot and killed after you had that clash of a protrump protest. A vcaravan of some 600 cars driving downtown. That interacted counter protesters and police are investigating. Its unacceptable. Shooting in the streets of Great American city is unacceptable. I condemn the violence. I condemn the violence of every kind whether on the left or on the right. I challenge donald trump to do the same. It does not matter if you find the political views of your opponent abhorrent. Any loss of life is tragedy. Today theres another family grieving and jill and i offer our condolences. He write we must not become a country at war with ourselves. A country that accepts the killing of fellow americans who do not agree with you. A country that vows vengeance towards one another but that is the america that President Trump wants us to be. The america he believes we are. One thing you hear in the beginning two paragraphs from this statement of Vice President biden, is do you hear him set up and condemn the violence you see in portland overnight. Thats been a criticism that he has faced over the past couple of weeks as we see the violence here in kenosha, as we seen the violence in portland overnight. Thats been a criticism hes pushed back on. Hes made clear he has condemned the violence and always pushed back on the violence. He says he puts an ear to the other side of this. The pain you hear from members of the community. This is statement that we got from Vice President biden. Ill read one more paragraph from it. One other paragraphs is he says the job of a president is to lower the temperature to bring people who disagree with one another together, to make life better for all americans, not just those who agree with us, sporl support us or vote for us. He says President Trump has been president for almost four years. The temperature in this country is higher. Tensions much stronger. Divisions run deeper and all of us are less safe about donald trump cant do the job of the american president. That is exclusive statement just coming in from Vice President biden. Hes commenting on the violence and the shooting and killing you saw in portland, oregon overnight. This is something that is continuing to develop. We know President Trump on the other hand will be coming to kenosha on tuesday. The white house announcing that visit saying he will help survey the damage we saw in kenosha earlier this week. He will also meet with members of the Law Enforcement community. No word on whether President Trump when he comes will meet with or try to reach out to the blake family. Thats the latest statement we got right now. Ill toss it back to you. To reiterate, the former Vice President statement is in the violence in portland we saw overnight where protester was shot and killed. Still unclear whether that clash of protesters, is well and black lives matter protests. Its still unclear if the shooting had to do with the clash. We know that President Trump is going to meet with Law Enforcements tuesday. Is there any indication of whether former Vice President biden will visit as well . The New York Times reported overnight that Vice President biden was tracking to be here on monday. We have not been able to confirm for ourselves at this point. I hesitate to make this political but this has been the conversation that has been out there. Its place that went for President Trump in 2016 by just about 250 votes after going with president obama in 2008 and 2012. This is the type of area that President Trump has been tar targeting with his message of law and order. If they supported the president in the past, its something they want to hear to their commander in chief. If they were opposed, its something as a source of division. This is a hot bed of opinions here especially because things are so raw. Jacob blake was just shot one week ago today. We know the two protesters were shot on tuesday of last week. Emotions are still raw. You see businesses are still boards up as you go across the downtown area. Tensions are still high. You know theres still that election that is looming. That election in november and this is place where things will matter a lot come november.

Will that be the the case this november . Among white evangelicals, the president received 80 of the vote. Hen it comes to the 2020 election, the numbers stack up. He still has the ma skrjority b its falling to 74 . Now a granddaughter of the late billy graham, one of the most prom innocent evangelical leaders has come out against the president saying support for trump insults her grandfathers legacy. Good to see you. Thanks for joining us today. You say that the Church Honors trump before god. What led you to that belief . You know, as far as my grandfathers legacy let me say that he has earned that legacy. Im not too concerned about it being tarnished but i am disappointed in the evangelical support of this president. What led me to this is so many people seem confused. When the leaders we have listened to and learned from so many years who really found their voice when it came to condemning the morals of past president s, clinton, obama, you name it. When it came to trump, they were silent. The world noticed that. It appeared hypocrite cal. That was damaging the gospel. In your oped you mention really this moment that has become iconic now. President trump clearing protesters through Lafayette Square who were peacefully protesting so he could hold up that bible and get that photo op in front of a damaged church from the night before. You mentioned he held a bible, something so sacred to all of us and he treated it with callousness that would offend anyone intimately familiar with the words inside it. We heard some push back from some religion leaders. Do you think the push back was enough in. I dont. I dont think the push back was enough. Everything that book that he was holding teaches us is to walk humb humbly, to love just and for him to do what he did for the sake of glorifying himself when that book tells us to do nothing but humble au humble ourselves and glorify the lord seems hypocrite kel and was damaging. Hes called suburban voters suburban housewives repeatedly. Do you feel like christian women, evangelical women will take those comments in what they have seen the last four years and do the opposite of what he thinks they will do . In the reaction ive gotten from the last week from women who meet that exact demographic then i would say yes. Most women i speak to and its been many this thousands this week, just messages from people saying thank you. You are my voice. I didnt feel comfortable. Hes trying to incite fear especially in the suburban housewife and hes created a problem and telling us to be fearful of that problem and hes the only solution to that problem. I dont think for most people its working. One of your relatives, sissy graham spoke at the rnc your week. What were your reaks to what she had to say . Were a big family. We have lots of different opinions. Were also an outspoken family. My grandmother also said if two people agreed on everything, one of them is unnecessary. My aunt reminded me this week that we were reared to be necessary. I think the tent is big enough for she and i have to have differing opinions. Thats okay with me. She referred to transwomen as boys. Many lgbtqia groups came out. Did that strike you at all . Did that offend you . It did. You sit down and listen to somebodys story and really hard to walk away and not feel an empathy and sympathy and support for the choices they decided the make. I remember once when somebody asked my grandfather what he would do if he had a gay son. He said i would especially love on that one. I think thats what jesus would do too.

Democrats are expressing their out rage this week after the office of the director of National Intelligence announced its scaling back its Election Security briefings to Congress Even as allegations of foreign interference in the 2020 election persist. The director of National IntelligenceJosh Ratcliff indicate ed that leaks from congress were the reason for ending the inperson briefings. An assertion that prompted furry. They called the decision a shocking abdication of the institutions lawful to Keep Congress informed. Clint, i want to get your reaction to what adam schiff said earlier on a. M. Joy. Lets listen. This attack by the president , this false justification for not briefing the congress is false justification. They dont want the American People to know the russians are once geagain try to elect donal trump. Bipartisan lawmakers have come out in rebuke of this. Thats right. I think the briefings have to happen. We just spent four years wrestling with russia interfered in the election of 2016. Last time we got caught with our guard down. I think theres a point to be made which is look at the position were putting these officials in. Were making them go in and brief one Political Party had one out come. The other Political Party has another. They are trying to advance whatever their partisan position is about which country supports which candidate. I think the u. S. Folks are in a tough position. Who are what is trying to tap into the election sfru infrastructure, who is trying to change the outcome on election day . We know who russia and why th that china want going into 2020. You even have marco rubio has come out and said and called it an and indication and leaks dont justify this move. How big of deal are leaks and how much do we weigh that with transparency . Leaks are a very big deal. He still reenforce we need this briefing. It is important. Think if you have all of these Intelligence Officers anda ag analysts working to try to protect the election, fry tryin win over partners and allies and they cant protect their sources and methods. It doesnt matter whether its Election Security or any National Intelligence. Those sources and methods are coveted. Were trying to protect people that are providing information. I think we can do both. Theres not a lot of confidence with elected leaders the way they are behaving. Is the concern is about leaks and some of these senate and house intelligence officials divulging too much o to public when theres so much scrutiny on the integrity of our elections, how do you weigh the publics need to trust all of this with making sure that these foreign governments dont know all of our methods . I think there is way to do it. That is be very direct. I would wish for them to be direct about who they briefed and when and to really pursue when these leaks are coming down and try to determine why. Theres been a will the of pressure on the Intelligence Community not to leak. Theres been a will the o of secrets pilled and the number one place that secrets tend to come out are on capitol hill or the white house. Its not coming from the Intelligence Community. Its been politicians plit sidiside i politicizing for their own gaen. Gain. Be very adamant in terms of what they believe. All right. Well have to leave it there.

The nba playoffs resumed yesterday after a historic pause as players staged a league wide boycott to call for social justice reform. The Milwaukee Bucks started the boycott when they walked out on their playoff game in response to the Police Shooting of jacob blake. Other major sports paused in a show of support. As part of the restart agreement, some nba arenas will be used as polling places for the 2020 election. Yesterday games resumed with many players still showing support on the court for black lives matter. Im joined now by bill roden, writer at large for espn undefeated and the director of the roden fellows. Its good to see you. I want to mention this isnt the first time athletes have used their platform to call for change. Two athletes in the 1960s, raised their closed fit fists in salute. This caused a stir. How have thinged changed or maybe not . Hey, lindsay. Thanks for having me on. The big change is that here youve got a team. You have an entire team. You have muhammad ali. 1964, some players got together and threatened not to play an allstar game in nba until the owners agreed. This is the first time that an entire team just before tip off were just not playing. This is heartbreaking. The gestures are fine. Youre letting us kneel. Youre letting us write stuff on the back of our jersey in is too upsetting. Its almost as if Police Officials or Law Enforcement officials are like taking this as a dare. Saying well show you. That was a big deal that you had an entire team and that spread to the entire league said they will shut it doin. Who knows what will happen with the National Football league. Thats why this is was so powerful. Talk about football. Last week the president tweeted he wants the big ten and other football back. College athletes dont get paid so is it fair to ask them to play . No. They should not be playing. The fact that three conferences, acc, the big 12 and sec are considering playing is phenomenal. I think what Certain Group of people in this country, youre turning these people into martyrs. They should not be playing. Theres no way that they should be playing. I think as we look at this, the big thing is whats next. I really think that the players have gone as far as they can go. They really will need the help of these multibillionaire owners and multibillionaires who run the nba, who run the nfl. They will have to contribute to this fight.
