Congressman earl bblumenauer. Saying we live in a democracy not a banana republic. Welcome, everyone to the 6 00 a. M. Hour of fox friends, joined today by Jason Chaffetz in for pete. Griff jenkins back better than ever. Including what is going on in portland. Uptick in portland continues. A lot of clashes when it comes to politicians whether they want federal authorities in their cities to calm things down or do not. Griff . Griff portland will be a big story because you have lawlessness for seven weeks. The streets of portland are out of control yet the local leaders from the governor, the senator, the mayor, are refusing federal assistance while the feds come under fire. Much has been made about the video on social media of agents apprehending a suspect in the street, putting him in unmarked van. Yet the feds say that is necessary tactic to protect officers. That that individual, that you see on the social media tape was suspected of damaging federal property, which is why they were put there in the first place. A lot to come on this, jason. Jason the president i think has been somewhat restrained. Because this has gone on for so long. The violence is so aggressive. I got to tell you, nancy pelosi and Earl Blumenauer they must have messed up their statement, to suggest they dont want to abba nana republic. Look how period of time land is being administered. People dont want to walk down the streets. Families cant go downtown to the areas violence continues day after day, month after month. There is federal responsibility at some point. You have a democratic mayor. You have a democratic governor. You have a democratic attorney general and nancy pelosi and Earl Blumenauer dont want this, because they are supporting the antifa efforts and it is fundamental wrong. The chief of staff of President Trump, mark meadows weighed in on this. Listen to what he has to say. For the vast majority of americans what we can support are Peaceful Protesters willing to stand up for a cause. What we wont tolerate and what we shouldnt tolerate is the an arcry we continue to see in some of our cities across the country, even tonight in the streets of portland and other cities where tragically it is not about a peaceful protest with a message. In fact many times hard to even describe what the message is. We got to make sure law and order is restored there. I can tell you that general barr and the president of the United States are fully engaged. You will see more on that in the coming days. Jason mark meadows is exactly right. He reflects sentiment of americans across the country who dont recognize this type of violence. It is not just portland. It is chicago, other major cities, it has to stop. If democrats think how they will win elections this is the right thing to do, these are not peaceful protests. These are violent riots. These are anarchists trying to take over america. We all have to stand up to make sure it doesnt happen anymore. Griff jason, i would say though with regard to pelosi and blumenauer statement, you would say that they are supporting antifa and an a differents, im not so sure that is the characterization as much as criticism, as i reported on thursday from that nights damage on fox friends, the Police Reported 23 million in damages to downtown business. The role of government is to protect life, liberty, property. They are absolutely failing in that respect when it comes to 23 million, you see in downtown areas just like this . When it comes to sort of a political matter it really the rule of law that matters most. Youre seeing the miss folks, the people on the front lines trying to get this under control, speaking out. You mentioned chicago, jason. The president of Chicagos Police union writing in a letter to President Trump says, these politicians are failing the good men and women of this city and the Police Department. I pushed back on their failing liberal policies. I really believe your help and cooperation could make a big difference to rally the sigh meant majority to say enough is enough. That is the police reaching out to the president for help because there is within. Jedediah just to keep in mind, the reason that the federal authorities are being brought in because the local political officials dont do anything. So ideally would the feds have to get involved in this, no. This should be a job for local Law Enforcement supported by local politicians, by the mayor, the governor. The mayors and governors of cities should not want to see massive violent upheaval in their locals, they should care about the citizens. They should care about the citizens. They should care about maintaining peaceful protests standing up to violent processes. That is not what is happening. I would ask the mayors and governors, what will you want to do, if you want to force out the feds theyre inflaming the situation, the protests that have turned violent have been going on for weeks, upon weeks, upon weeks. There is massive destruction. You have done absolutely nothing. What did you think was going to happen . At some point it become as federal problem because the local officials are not doing what they can and should do, largely for political reasons, jason. Jason it doesnt have to be this way. Look, in chicago alone there ising is like 1900 shootings. I mean those numbers are just absolutely stunning. Up if you look at portland, and you look at chicago and you look at new york, and the list keeps going, there seems to be a concerted effort by these mayors, by these democrats that are in the governors positions to let this happen. If youre not going to call out antifa, if youre not going to call out these anarchists and not try to suppress the violence, that is so fundamentally and wholly different than a peaceful protest which i think we would all support. You also have to call it out for what it is. I dont see these political leaders doing. That was what reflected from the police there in chicago, asking, pleading, helping, hoping that we get some help from the feds to back them up. Jedediah we see how the Trump Administration is handling this. President trump taking a serious stance, being a law and order president , this will not be tolerated these type of violent upheavals in the cities. A question on a lot of peoples minds how would a joe biden, or Joe Biden Administration handle the very problem. In a larger sense what would a Biden Administration look like . What h would it be a centrist administration . Would be it a more far Left Administration . We see him taming ideas from aoc and Bernie Sanders on Energy Policy and beto orourke on guns. Headline in Boston Herald. Scary thought. Biden wont be the worst thought of a biden presidency. Biden is already stepping aside letting the liberal radicals having their way with the platform and were only in july. With the lifelong swamp creatures and biden family there is no short of ambition in the white house if the America Votes the former Vice President into 1600 avenue. Joe biden will be the least of our worries. What do you think . Griff grace curly was a radio show producer. And i was one back in the day. She has really got a good point here. Look at impact Elizabeth Warren had in shaping bidens policies from the time theyre in the primary in terms of what were seeing what he is laying out in regards to a Green New Deal. Otherwise it is unmistakably clear his administration will go much further left than joe biden came initially into the primaries however many days ago and so i think thats certainly something that is yet to be told but one thing you can bet on whether or not a person like Elizabeth Warren is running mate or the treasury secretary it is going to be a very different Biden Administration i think if it comes to pass. Jason . Jason yeah. No, i think that headline is right. I think america will wake up to the idea that joe biden, i mean who is, who are the puppeteers behind joe biden . These are some of the most radical leftists positions there have been and believe Bernie Sanders when he said if joe biden is elected he is going to be the most progressive president since fdr i think was his quote and im afraid that is where theyre going.

Coming up new york city mayor de blasio banning the nypd from using chokeholds. One Police Commissioner north of the city is telling officers stay out of new york city, calling the new law reckless. Im not hungry youre having one more bite no one more bite kraft. For the win win. Well the names have all changed since you hung around but those dreams have remained and theyve turned around whod have thought theyd lead ya back here where we need ya welcome back, america. It sure is good to see you. Griff welcome back. Police in one New York County will no longer cross in the city to make arrest for crimes in their jurisdictions. Yonkers Police Department is the latest Law Enforcement age is to tell officers to stay out of new york city over Police Reform bills. Saying a provision on the citys my r new chokehold ban could put cops in trouble. The Police Commissioner joins us now. John, good morning to you. Good morning, griff, how are you . Griff this is not necessarily a surprise. You and many other Police Chiefs and Union President s were saying hey, dont do this, dont sign this bill because of liability position it puts officers in. Now you told your officers to stay out of the big apple. Explain. Absolutely griff. Its a very sad day. I never thought we would see this in my time in policing and i would note also commissioner shea also really tried to express his concern about this and legislation was pushed anyway. Now it is not just yonkers. It is Westchester County police now, suffolk county. I new rochelle. Youre seeing a lot of different agencies that surround the five boroughs following suit. Griff john, do you believe that the leaders, on the city council in new york that pushed this in albany were hasty in their decision, rushing to get some sort of thing on the bill without fully considering the impact it would have on the fundamental job that officers have which is to enforce the law . I would characterize it as nothing short of reckless and irresponsible. We want Police Reform. We understand the need for it. It has been going on for a long time. It is important to note that the nypd has been the light for a lot of other Law Enforcement agencies as far as leading progressive policies, policies that are in tune with how we police our people. So this is a real, it is just a shame, that we have, new york city council, that seems to be operating in echo chamber. That isnt particularly interested in talking to experts, sharing opinions, and giving opinions and reasoning together. When you do things like hastily, there are going to be consequences. Unfortunately the consequences are going to affect the folks that need us the most. Griff we retched out to mayor de blasio. We have not heard back. When it gets to the state level, really the national level, Police Reform will come back sooner rather than later, whether before or after the election, what advice, john, mr. Commissioner do you have for those writing the laws . I think the most important thing is to remember what you were elected to do. To listen to everybody. I dont think there should be a competition where a very small majority who is the most shrill should drive an agenda. I think we need to listen to everybody. We need to listen to police. We need to listen to community activists. We need to listen to the important faith based clergy and organizations like that. To put us in the position to get where we need to get with respect to policing in a way that everybody is comfortable with. That communities feel safe. Because of the police, feel very important secure with the police griff john mueller, Police Commissioner of yonkers. Thanks for joining us. Thanks so much, griff. Griff still 107 from the president ial election and there is one big issue about to dominate the campaign trail. Here is a hint. It is not the economy. Lee carter is on deck. So whats going on .

Apoquel can work on that itch in as little as 4 hours, whether its a new or chronic problem. And apoquels treated over 8 million dogs. Nice. And. The talking dog thing . Is it bothering you .
