[crowd chanting] >> reporter: the chants referring to efforts to defund the police. on sunday, hundreds of rioters ransacked the city, looting several high end stores during a protest believed to have been organized on social media in the wake of a police-involved shooting. police say the suspect shot at officers first. he has since been booked on murder and weapons charges. more than 100 rioters were arrested during the chaos and 13 officers were hurt. mayor lori lightfoot condemned the looting but ballingeing -- balked at the idea of federal help. >> we do not need federal troops in chicago, period, full stop. this not an incident that requires the national guard. >> reporter: the unrest led authorities to raise bridges in the city in the hopes of preventing more mayhem. the police superintendent says the looters have no fear. >> these looters act as if there are no consequences to their behavior and they base that on what happened previously, that we made a lot of arrests during may and june and not many of those cases were prosecuted to the fullest extent. >> reporter: brown says the blame falls on cook county's state attorney, kim fox, who dismissed over 25,000 felony cases including murders, shootings and sexual assaults. former officer and chicagoal alderman anthony napolitano agrees. >> it's time to step up. i think she chicagoans drew a le in the sand. >> reporter: chicago businesses have lost $66 million in stolen or damaged property since the riots began in may. the black lives matter says those have insurance so it's okay to ransack them. they even called the looting reparations. todd, carley. carley: some of those businesses don't have insurance. that's the thing. aside from it being illegal to steal. marianne, thank you so much for joining us. todd: sean hannity blasting joe biden and other democratic leaders for bowing down to the demands of the mob by refusing to condemn the violence. >> so-called protesters, many of them proud marxist, they want to upend the entire system of governance. one thing is certain, regardless of whatever name they call it, whatever country they tried it. l of ofty promises that everything will be taken care of, socialism always results in broken promises, widespread misery, dramatic increases in poverty, corruption, loss of freedom and one party school. every marxist state throughout history is an utter failure. in order to shore up his radical base the very weak joe biden is bowing down to these extremists. carley: just last week democrats failed to condemn the violent group antifa during a hearing. todd: today, the full d.c. court of appeals will re-hear arguments over the doj's decision to drop charges against michael flynn. the judge asked for the hearing after being ordered to dismiss the case. senator lindsey graham says fbi director conside christopher wra lot of questions to answer. >> how could it be that in february and march of 2018, over a year after the fbi interviewed the russian subsource, saying the dossier was garbage, that the fbi briefed the senate intel committee in 2018 saying basically it's a reliable document. christopher wray needs to tell me how that briefing was set up for the senate intel committee. i want to know who gave the briefing. i want to know who prepared the briefing memo. the briefing memo is a complete fabrication of what the subsource said. todd: wray ordered an internal review of the flynn case back in may. trademark documents revealed bytedance plans to roll out a financial services program. the company pulled tiktok service after beijing passed a controversial national security law. this comes as bytedance reportedly plans to sue president trump over his executive order to ban tiktok as soon as today. carley: the clock is ticking for presumptive nominee joe biden to announce his running mate and the top contenders are bringing in some big cash. elizabeth warren raking in the most with $7.7 million combined, from a high dollar fundraiser much like the ones she swore off during her own campaign. the massachusetts senator will host another expensive fundraiser tonight. listen to this, a navy veteran has his chihuahua to thank for saving his life. little boo boo ran for help when the 86-year-old suffered a stroke. the heart felt reunion happening at the hospital. armstrong lives alone with the four-legged hero in north carolina. boo boo was able to lead someone to his home for help. how sweet is that? look at those pictures. todd: when you read that in the rundown, did you think that was an error. i did a double take, wait, navy vet, chihuahua. carley: i don't know which one is better, this one or the 103-year-old grand tha grandma t the tattoo. todd: shootings in new york city and philadelphia rising at an alarming rate. why isn't more being done to stop it? we discuss it coming up. carley: we have details about the president's lawsuit over mail-in voting. carley: after dealing with the chop zone and months of kaye gloss seattle, police chief carmen bess is resigning from her post, the decision which takes effect next month follows her city council's vote to defund the department. joining me to weigh in, former nypd officer lamont johnson, founder of the wounded blue and 33 year law enforcement officer, lutheran dlieutenant randy . what is your reaction to carmen bess resigning from the seattle police department and what does that mean for those officers in seattle? >> i believe it was the best thing for her to resiefnl she was not doing a good job. it's up to her to provide leadership for the members of the police department. she was not doing so. so it was very wise of her to step down. let someone else that is willing to lead the force lead the force. she was not providing the leadership that was needed. carley: randy, do you agree? >> i agree on one sense. i don't believe that carmen bess did her leadership role very well. the fact that the city was taken over basically occupied for as long as it was with very little police interference at all, i thought was a travesty. in fact, i called for her resignation when that took place. however, when you look at the reasoning for her resignation, it's because of the slashing of the budget of the police department and that itself is a travesty. carley: i want to talk more about that. in 2021, seattle may cut their police budget even more, by $75 million, a billion dollars shifted from the nypd budget, $150 million from the lapd. what are the long-term consequences of these budget cuts? >> well, the police department has to be supported. if you cut the budget, it may not get the necessary support that they need. the morale will go down. crime will go up. so i think that's a bad thing, defunding the police department. carley: yeah. you know, randy, we talk about the money but there's also messaging behind that. local elected leaders saying that, you know, basically telling residents their police have too much power and we need to protect you from police. what sort of -- what does that do to a community, that sort of mindset? >> well, the reality is now setting into those businesses who were destroyed during the occupation/riots. the community needs to be protected, all right, but they need to be protected by -- from the mayor and the city council, not from the police department. this is -- you see, here's what's happening right now, is the misinformed and the mal-informed people are being weaponized into an anti-law enforcement frenzy, they're being whipped up and this is all based on lies told about law enforcement. the reality is, the police don't need the reform. that is a misinformation that's being put out into the community. and that is tearing -- that's dividing the police from the people. a poll just came out, 81% of the black community said they wanted police funded and they wanted the same amount of police officers in their communities or more. so this is the misinformation that's being put out into the community. it's not the police who are performing this poorly. carley: so, well, lamont, i want to talk about the violence, specifically new york city is seeing. over the weekend, the 1's shooting victim was -- 1,000th shooting victim was shot on sunday. that number is equal to the previous two years combined. there are a lot of theories as to why this is happening. first and most importantly, how do we fix this? >> well, as you know, the past few years new york had historic lows for crimes, historic lows for homicides, historic lows for shootings. i feel that we're getting back to the bad old days, not the good old days, we're getting back to the bad old days, the de blasio administration is not showing the necessary leadership that it takes for the city to stay safe. carley: there's so many heart-breaking stories on sunday in new york city. there was an 18-year-old girl who was shot in front of her father. i mean, you just have to think about these families and all the tragedy that's occurring across the country, makes you sick. lamont and randy, thank you so much for joining us with your perspective. we appreciate it. >> thank you very much. carley: todd. todd: time now, 17 minutes after the hour. any day joe biden will announce his vp pick. will it be susan rice. security expert jim hanson says rice comes with a lot of baggage. he joins us live, next. pro football on a saturday?

>> it would be a gift. i mean, first of all, let's acknowledge the fact that obama wants her in badly so that he's got his trusted advisor in the biden white house, if he gets to the white house. but she brings so much of the -- trump called it a liability. i would call it a lie-ability. she was their designated liar on ben ga. >benghazi. she went on all five sunday shows and lied. she unmasked trump campaign officials and went on pbs news hour and lied about that too. she's bad at it. that's the bad thing. if she was a good liar, that would be one thing. she's like the kid you caught stealing ice cream. every parent can see she's lying. i don't think she is much of an advantage other than getting obama on-board. todd: you mentioned those sunday shows. let's take a flashback. >> what sparked the recent violence was the airing on the internet of a very hateful, very offensive video. it began spontaneously in benghazi as a reaction to what had transpired some hours earlier in cairo, a correct result of a heinous and offensive video. todd: is rice going to be able to spin this on the campaign trail if she is named vp. >> everybody knew that was a lie. the obama administration failed to send help to our people in benghazi and sent her out to lie to the american public about that and tried to cover it up. so no. and the other thing is her involvement in obama-gate. she was there in the meeting where obama told sally yates they would go after flynn and she was there and she wrote that horribly transparent memo saying president obama said do everything by the book, so we're not going to spy on the trump campaign because that would not be by the book. it was embarrassingly bad on inauguration day to send an e-mail to yourself saying we did not commit national security malfeasance. why do you do that? the judgment to do that is as bad as the actual doing of it. todd: jim, we await the pick. jim henson live for us this morning. we appreciate it. carley, over to you. carley: it's 25 minutes after the hour. fbi director christopher wray subpoenaed as the senate investigates the origins of the russia probe. chris wrecker worked at the fbi for decades and says transparency is critical. he is next. todd: a base jumper misses the mark, crashing into the building. he survives somehow. what went wrong as the whole thing is caught on camera. ♪ i've been waiting for the moment for all my life. ♪ hold on. ♪ s why i like liberty mutual. they get that no two people are alike and customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. almost done. what do you think?

chris wekert joint us now. what sort of -- joins us now. what information are they looking for from the fbi director and what's the end goal here. >> i think at the heart of this is the steele dossier. there are many who believe the steele dossier was the information that was the catalyst for the russia investigation. it was certainly the information that went into the fisa affidavits, the four different fisa affidavits on carter page. the question is whether the fbi was still defending that now-discredited dossier that was full of paid for opposition research, unreliable information, unreliable sources, whether they were still defending that under chris wray's watch and i think that's what senator -- i'm sorry johnson is trying to get a handle on. were they even post comey, post strzok, post mccabe, were they still defending this unreliable dossier? todd: chris, here's the fbi's response. it reads as follows. quote, the fbi has already begun producing documents and information to the senate homeland security committee which are directly responsive to this subpoena. as always the fbi will continue to cooperate with the committee's request, consistent with our law enforcement and national security obligations. you know, chris, you say christopher wray is very deliberate. are republicans going too hard on wray for wanting action now or is he handling this in the proper manner? >> chris is trying -- he inherited quite a mess from the failed leadership of jim comey and strzok and page and that whole palace guard around comey. he's had a very difficult task in trying to restore the credibility of the agency. it is the best agency in the world. it has the finest men and women this country has to offer. chris is being very deliberate about it, making sure he's not breaking any rules, not stepping on the investigation of john durham which is where the real -- i think the real crux is. durham's investigation is what's going to reveal what really happened in the course of this russia investigation and all the political machinations behind it. carley: we're all waiting for that to be finished so we can learn more about it. speaking of james comey, last week sally yates was in front of the senate judiciary committee and she said jim comey went rogue when he interviewed michael flynn. what happens with james comey? it doesn't seem like he's -- he's still a part of the story and he might have more questions to answer. >> well, that was quite admission by sally yates, who occupied the position that jim comey once occupied when i was the head of the fbi's criminal decision. what she's saying is jim comey knew better. prosecutor decisions are not made by the fbi director, they're made by the department of justice and he went off the rails. that's one of the first admissions i've seen from a high ranking justice official under loretta lynch, actually post loretta lynch. she was the acting attorney general at the time. carley: more to come on this, of course. we'll keep an eye on it. chris, thank you for your perspective. >> thank you. carley: all right. todd: a fox news alert now, russia claiming it is the first country to approve a covid-19 vaccine. this all comes after just two months of human testing. overnight, russian president vladimir putin praising the vaccine's effectiveness, saying it was even given to his daughter. putin says he hopes to start mass production of the vaccine soon. carley: nevada's secretary of state is asking a federal judge to dismiss the trump campaign's lawsuit over the mail-in ballot plan. they filed the suit last week after the nevada governor signed a bill into law, making the secretary responsible for implementing a mail-in voting system for the november election. she said in part, quote, advocates for vote by mail legislation argue it is necessary to fully enfranchise voters and mitigate the public health threat. opponents argue that vote by mail processes are vulnerable to fraud. the competing arguments amount to a public policy debate. todd: police arrested the host of a party with 300 guests. the party at a new jersey home was promoted on social media. the party was in violation of the state's coronavirus orders which only allow house parties of up to 25 people. the department calling in surrounding counties and state troopers to help get rid of the crowd. carley: joe piscopo warning new jersey gyms could shut down for good due to the governor. he demanded they reopen immediately. >> gyms are so clean, yet the governor's got this thing, man. we need to open this up. otherwise you're going to shut the businesses down permanently. we spent all the money and have adhered to every cdc guideline and he's still not opening us up. carley: i had n no idea he wasn the gym business. over 1,000 gyms and fitness clubs are closed due to the covid-19 pandemic. todd: i once served him when i was a waiter. a rare and powerful storm is ripping through the midwest. >> oh, my god! carley: a man capturing a storm spinning over the water along lake michigan near chicago. todd: downtown pieces of a roof flying through the sky as if they didn't have enough to worry about there in chicago. at one point, 500,000 people were in the dark. carley: oh, my gosh. in central iowa, the storm taking down this grain elevator, areas in the state seeing 100-mile-an-hour winds. todd: meteorologist adam klotz joins us live with what we can expect today. hey, adam. >> hi, good morning, guys. that was a really big storm that attacked the midwest yesterday. widespread winds got up to 100 miles an hour, other places, 90, 80 miles an hour many these are storm reports after the last 24 hours, one of those blue dots is a wind report of at least 60 miles an hour. you can see very widespread. the good news is, that system really winding down, no longer going to be a threat today. instead, we're going to once again focus on extreme heat that is again attacking the u.s. right now, not too bad. temperatures in the 70s and 80s early this morning. we will once again be warming up. these are heat indices, what it will feel like outside, 105 in some cases getting close to 110. we're moving through august here as i toss it back to you but the heat really continuing, not feeling like fall just yet out there across the country. back to you guys. todd: yesterday was one of those guys, if you went outside if you were out of shade for a second you were sweating. it's summer. there you go. adam, we appreciate it. carley: it's 38 minutes after the hour. a washington post columnist asks if the u.s. needs the republican party. one former trump campaign staffer fires back at the controversial op-ed. todd: it's today's big question, should they play?

>> no, i don't. it's really sad because this lays at the feet of the mayor, ted wheeler, who i had my differences with, several years ago when he refused to work with i.c.e. and declared himself a sansanctuary city. isn't it strange the violence that's happening, they started as sanctuary cities. the mayor failed the people of the city. the president is right, call in the national guard. i think we need to step forward, zero tolerance. don't wait for them to start burning something down or attacking law enforcement officers. there needs to be zero tolerance. they need a show of force because criminals have taken the streets. we can't allow that to happen in the country. carley: the mayor said the federal agents were escalating tensions but when they left and the oregon state police took over the rioting continued. what is the solution to prevent this from happening in the future? >> zero tolerance. enforce the law. let law enforcement do their job. ted wheeler wouldn't let law enforcement work with i.c.e. criminals were arrested, put in the jail, they were in the country illegal. they're releasing public safety threats back into the country, rather than turn them over to immigration. let law enforcement do their job. there needs to be consequence and detense. we -- deterrence. we learned that as children. if it's implemented it has an effect on unlawful behavior. you have to enforce the law. todd: we like to label things as winners and losers. the rioters winning in portland?
