when we see what's happening here in philadelphia and philadelphia alone right now, something has to be done, and something needs to be done now, not later. ed: ted, i can hear the emotion in your voice, and i can tell you there's somebody who is listening, that's the president of the united states. a moment ago the president tweeted: law and order in philadelphia now. they are looting stores. call in our great national guard like they finally did -- thank you, president trump, he says of himself -- last night in minneapolis s. is this what voters want with sleepy joe? you've got a democratic governor there in pennsylvania, a long run of mayors in philly as well. we've got a more urgent situation of law enforcement trying to deal with violent protests on the ground. but, ted, to the president's point, why -- we see the fire department, we should note, that is now dousing the flames. but why are law enforcement officials on the ground not directly dealing with this in some cities and pushing back these violet protesters -- violent protesters, pushing them away from law enforcement veh

sandra: and now we head to philadelphia where we just saw the live scene of destroyed police cars there. some, one in particular, vehicle going up in flames. you're looking at a live picture now of, obviously, these -- the looting that continues on the streets there. we're taking in these images together, ed, ask if reporting exactly what we are seeing. and all this is days after the death of george floyd. we saw some protests peacefully happening throughout the country, but then some obviously turning quite violent and what we are seeing play out in philadelphia is really something at this hour. ed: absolutely. you put it in the perfect context which is we were showing images around the country, and there are some cities at this hour we're seeing live where people are doing what they should be doing in a situation like this, peacefully protesting, education pressing -- expressing their opinions. and then you're seeing out what is playing out in philadelphia which is clearly looting on that drugstore, big crowd forming outside. people go inside, then they come out with handfuls, armfuls

you're calling that anarchy you said a moment ago, cities like philadelphia are being destroy. there is this push and pull

and, again, as we're watching these pictures lye out of philadelphia -- live out of philadelphia, you have to imagine the white house is now scrambling to figure out exactly how to address this. it's not just happening here, but in so many other cities. we've reached out to the white house to get a better idea, has he spoken to any of the governors on the ground in these states. the president was rebuked by house speaker nancy pelosi earlier today saying that the president needed to strike a more unified tone.

i believe they call high street market street now in philadelphia. thank you, mr. light, for bringing back those memories of quite a labor on paper. next question, sir. >> mr. president, in philadelphia, there was a young man that accompanied you, robert hemings. he was enslaved to you. did his status as your property seem a contradiction to the words you were writing in the declaration of independence? thomas jefferson: mr. light, you asked me about robert hemings. robert hemings, who accompanied me to philadelphia those years of 1775 in 1776. do i remember him? do i consider that, as he was my property, as his family were my property, that it is a terrible contradiction to the principles of our declaration? well, mr. light, i can assure you that i had inherited, if you will, the hemings family from my late wife. they were part of her dowry. they became my property in 1772 when i married. and, if you will, those few years later in 1775, yes, robert hemings was my coachman. and he drove me up to philadelphia. do you know he was only 15 years old at that time? i rem

obviously, we are witnessing violence on the streets of philadelphia right now. moments ago, ed just witnessed as he was talking to his guest, the taking over of a police squad car. it was empty. it was then run down the street by some of those protesters there and slammed into another police vehicle. you can see people there on the ground are taking over these squad cars live on our screens here. obviously, we'll be careful with any further images coming. this police car is now on fire. you can see the flames coming up as we speak. yesterday afternoon 13 police officers in that city were injured. they are struggling to control the crowds and the rioting there. there is vandalism. there is the taking the over of property happening, and this is really something to see play out live on our screen, ed, there in philadelphia. ed: it is remarkable, to say the least. you can see one of these violent protesters is have some sort of cutting device where he's using it to rip open parts of the vehicle. now this van, police van, being ripped apart. the one violent protester

when we see what's happening here in philadelphia and philadelphia alone right now, something has to be done, and something needs to be done now, not later. ed: ted, i can hear the emotion in your voice, and i can tell you there's somebody who is listening, that's the president of the united states. a moment ago the president tweeted: law and order in philadelphia now. they are looting stores. call in our great national guard like they finally did -- thank you, president trump, he says of himself -- last night in minneapolis s. is this what

from philadelphia. this is seattle washington. this is from our affiliate. let's listen a little bit. >> reporter: yeah, i think these are flash bangs. oh, shoot. ce. but when you have the chase mobile app, your bank can be virtually any place. so, when you get a check... you can deposit it from here. and you can see your transactions and check your balance from here. you can detect suspicious activity on your account from here. and you can pay your friends back from here. so when someone asks you, "where's your bank?" you can tell them: here's my bank. or here's my bank. or, here's my bank. because if you download and use the chase mobile app, your bank is virtually any place. so visit chase.com/mobile. i'll start... oh, do you want to go first? no, no i don't...you go. i was just going to say on slide 7, talking about bundling and saving...umm... jamie, you're cutting out. sorry i'm late! hey, whoever's doing that, can you go on mute? oh, my bad! i was just saying there's a typo on slide 7. bundle hom

i haven't heard there is a curfew in philadelphia. the philadelphia police really restrained themselves. i thought it was actually impressive that both sides didn't seem to have too many confrontations, except for that things were, there is graffiti all over the place, a couple of cars were overturned. so there was a lot of physical damage, but they haven't heard report of injuries or deaths in downtown philadelphia stop just give us a sense of the atmosphere then. you have described what has been happening. how are you feeling, safety wise? i feel relatively safe. live about a block away from here. philadelphia is hills around city hall, so city hall is the very centre of early delphia and that's where most of the protests happen. and that's where it began today. and then the protesters marched to the museum area where there is a larger notice and then that's where i heard more rioting began. and i should also say that philadelphia has a long tradition of unrest between the police and the communities. there was actually a bombing of

when you look at philadelphia here right now, you see these law enforcement cars that are being used as missiles. i saw one car where they took it out of gear and sent it careening down the street toward other police officers on that street. unmanned police car. you saw where they are breaking into cars, stealing stuff out of cars. this has nothing to do with george floyd. this is an out-of-control mob. it has to be brought back under control. the governor, the mayor, they need to move in not tonight, not later tonight, they need to move in now and get control of all of this. sandra: we saw images happening on the ground in philadelphia yesterday, ted, but as you just could note as a viewer, we're all taking this in together. arch street is the intersection at which this is happening, and moments ago while you were speaking, ted, we saw firefighters able to move in on the area, and they were able to try to diminish the fire of that vehicle as you can see. it is still going up in flames. ted, what do you do at this point? you've got senator tim scott on "fox news sunday" talking to ch

philadelphia is built around city hall, so city hall is the very centre of philadelphia, and that's where most of the protests happen. and that's where it began today. and then the protesters marched to the museum area, where there's a larger protest, and then that's where i heard more rioting began. and i should also say that philadelphia has a long tradition of unrest between the police and the communities. there was actually a bombing of a compound in 1985, and the police commissioner, then mayor, whose statue stands right in front of city hall, was responsible for dropping a bomb on this community that really dispersed and destroyed a lot of homes. frank rizzo was the police commissioner, then mayor, and his statue — protesters tried to tear it down today, but the police came in and stopped them. david filling us in on the situation in philadelphia. he said there was not a curfew at that time, we believe that is now one of the cities which does have a curfew in place. in seattle, despite mayorjenny durkan declaring an emergency citywide curfew from 5:00pm to 5:00am, "to prevent viol

we want to bring you a live look of what's happening right now in philadelphia. as you can see, police cars are being vandalized. we're looking at these aerial images provided by our affiliate, kayw. you can see the protesters, or in this case, vandals are out and about already this afternoon. today, we are witnessing a country in crisis. a nation that was already hurting because of a pandemic and historic unemployment is now the site of seemingly apocalyptic scenes. protests from coast to coast, triggering states of emergency. at least 25 cities across 16 states have imposed curfews because of scenes like this, as well as fires being set, businesses looted, cars flipped, officers hurt, crowds teargassed and now even chicago's main business district has been shut down. there are just hardly any words to describe the toxic combination of the things that are all happening at once. these protests originally focused on george floyd, remember? the unarmed black man who died under the knee of a white minneapolis police officer. that officer is now in custody and charge

ini remember, it was june 7 philadelphia. it caused immediate consternation, particularly among the smaller colonies of rhode island and delaware. how would they be expected to follow the resolution of virginia? we considered ourselves the largest, most populated, wealthiest. president john hancock created the entire continental congress as a committee to gather amongst in individual caucuses to decide how we should proceed. do we really want independency? and then, he appointed another committee of five men to draft our declaration of american independency. mind you, this was not a fee complee.-- fait we did not know that the congress would vote for independency, but we wanted to be prepared. mr. john adams was from massachusetts. mr. roger sherman, connecticut. robert livingston from new york. dr. franco, pennsylvania. one on thenly committee south of the line of mason-dixon. franklin would. be our author but he dared not -- cared not to take on the responsibility. he looked at me, and it was mr. john adams who suggested i

philadelphia is mob action. crowds going in looting, stealing, taking stuff. and so what's got to happen there is i anticipate as we speak the philadelphia police department along with the governor and state of pennsylvania is getting together, hopefully, to try to take back the streets. they have to take back the streets. we cannot allow in america for this type of anarchy to continue in the name of george floyd which is really unfortunate because that's what they're using as a vehicle. when, in fact, george floyd and the death of george floyd has nothing to do about this looting and stealing. ed: right. >> you go into a store and you steal a it's, what in the -- a it's, what in the hell does that are to do with george floyd? ed: right. it's george floyd who died last monday in minneapolis and, obviously, that's something we've all been watching very closely as we've seen what started as peaceful fro tests now -- protests. you see a split scene on the left of philadelphia where it's been anything but orderly over the last hour or so you've seen live. but on t

fox news alert, a live look at philadelphia. you can see folks gathered in the street, there's a citywide curfew in philadelphia. it's been moved up a couple of hours. when you start p.m. eastern time we've been monitoring police activity, police and right here. it was a fire outside of mcdonald's, nothing as dramatic as we've seen the two previous nights but certainly a concern enough in the wake of the death of george floyd and what started as peaceful protests has morphed into violent protests, looting cities around the country. you can see tension there on the ground in philadelphia the curfew moved up a couple of hours it will start at 6:00 p.m. eastern time extend until 6:00 a.m. eastern time. we are going to watch philly and a bunch of other cities. let's go south from another city featuring curfew tonight is miami. lift look at the city. the day after another peaceful protest, you see it turning to chaos including last night. these are pictures that are not live, these are saturday. the chief of the west miami police dep

go to philadelphia right now. the mayor there denouncing looters, calling them anarchists and just a few moments ago, we actually saw very large-scale looting at one store in philadelphia. you can see people climbing in and out of the windows in this store. they're coming in with suitcases. carrying out goods. brian todd, you're at the scene. a very large police presence in north philadelphia, but what are you learning right now? >> reporter: wolf, we just got on the scene where the looting was and that video earlier and actually just saw people going back into one of these stores. this is a forman mills store, some looting took place there earlier. it got broken into. we came upon the scene a moment ago saw people going in, police officers came and some people took off running. a scene of heavy looting earlier. also we show you this at&t store here got broken into. there is a very heavy police presence now and photojournalist andrew smith can pan down this way. show these blockades. we weren't allowed to go back

philadelphia still a very, very tense scene here in the center city area of philadelphia. brian todd, cnn, philadelphia. >> thank you to you and the crew there, too. >>> to chicago, the city is still under curfew until 6:00 a.m. the mayor calls the situation tragic after she says there were non-violent protests that devolved into criminal conduct. we'll show you. stay close. the 2:20 back-to-back calls migraine medicine it's called ubrelvy the migraine medicine for anytime, anywhere a migraine attacks without worrying if it's too late or where you happen to be. one dose of ubrelvy can quickly stop migraine pain and debilitating symptoms in their tracks within two hours. unlike older medications, ubrelvy is the first pill of its kind to directly block cgrp protein believed to play a role in migraine attacks. do not take with strong cyp3a4 inhibitors. few people had side effects, most common were nausea and tiredness. a migraine can strike anytime, anywhere. ask about ubrelvy, the anytime, anywhere migraine medicine. i'm going to start the bidding at $5. thank you, sir. look

as a matter of fa ct, philadelphia. as a matter of fact, i was followed several months agojust fact, i was followed several months ago just because someone had a car that was similar to my. and i remember, you know, like, sweating at the wheel wondering what the heck is going on here. so people of colour are absolutely — know that we are too often targets of the police and of the power structure, and yet we try to fight through that to continue to stand with and let you know what our humanity is, and that we absolutely do not deserve this kind of treatment. briefly, and i know this is an impossible question to answer briefly, i am sure, but what are the concrete things that you want to see change as a result of this? well, in philadelphia, i am excited to say that i was a big advocate foran say that i was a big advocate for an african—american woman to be police commissioner. commissioner 0utlaw is something that all of us fought really, really ha rd something that all of us fought really, really hard to make sure t

still a very active scene here tonight in philadelphia, don. you know, again, we're going to be seeing here what happens here tomorrow when the protests start up whether we have scenes like this. the police will be out in force. we do know that state police here have been reinforcing the philadelphia police, as are police from bucks county, montgomery county, pennsylvania. so they have reinforcements. we don't have word about national guard deployments here. it seems like the philadelphia police, the state police, and some other jurisdictions for the moment, for the moment have it under control. that could change easily. >> yeah. wise words, brian todd. that could change easily. right you are. our thanks to brian todd, who's covering this for us in philadelphia. we will get back to brian todd. as well as our other correspondents who are out in the field all over this country. we're back in a moment. >>> and we are back now live on cnn. let's get straight to minneapolis. miguel is there. what are you seeing? >> reporter: we are at the first prec

large crowd gathered there in philadelphia. i can't tell you exactly where they are, but it's right now, it seems to be very calm, but people are showing up in mass numbers and usually, and hopefully this calm remains, but many times the calm is before the storm when it comes-- when day falls to night. however, police are involved and also, i must mention that you have people who were members of the community who are very angry and also want justice for mr. george floyd, but they're encouraging all of the residents, the people who really live in these areas to remain calm, to not riot, don't loot your own neighbors, that's not the way we move this forward and fight for the justice that's so desperately needed in the name of mr. george floyd. so, again, an aerial shot right there in philadelphia. a large crowd seems to be very, very calm at this moment. we'll keep an eye on this as we will throughout the day on all of the protests that are taking place across the country and we'll be right back. did you know diarrhea is often ca

one of the good people in philadelphia saying what are they thinking? this is not a criticism of the philadelphia police department. i just wonder what else is going on. our groups here have made efforts, our police cars were damaged the first night. one was damages last night. when i look at the images from philadelphia, we cannot and will not have mobs taking over businesses. and so we have been fighting the good fight for the last two days. we are not going to relent. i'm so proud of the men and women of the police department who have done a phenomenal job in mitigating. this group, the outsiders who have come into detroit have been very aggressive over the last two days. but it brings back memories of when i was a los angeles police officer during the rodney king conflict when there was a situation where the riots broke and at the epicenter, i'll never forget it. officers at the scene were told to retreat, and they gave it over to the mob. the smob took over and that's where reginald denny got beaten. i never forgot image or the impact on our commun

. >> reporter: this is the scene in downtown philadelphia tonight. walnut and 17th street, the center city area, a scene of carnage on saturday afternoon and evening. widespread looting in this area of center city. stores, other facilities and other businesses broken into, looted, burned. firefighters here battling a three alarm fire in this building right here. you can see some of the water being deployed. there's a hose right there going into this building. actually, th this is a three alarm fire that required about 125 firefighters to respond to. the this is emblematic of what unfolded all afternoon and evening in philadelphia. we are told that more than three dozen people have been arrested. that number will certainly go up. more than a dozen law enforcement officers have been injured. a few of them with chemical burns to the face. law enforcement was really up against it in philadelphia earlier, and they responded forcefully. they had a curfew in effect until about 6:00 a.m. sunday morning. there will be another curfew in effect from sunday even

and these are live images now coming from philadelphia. we've been watching throughout the afternoon as there have been additional destruction and loopting happening, as you can see in this image. brian todd has been on the ground there in philadelphia and was reporting earlier about the looting that's happening. we do know several arrests were made overnight in philadelphia. 38 people, in fact. 20 people arrested for alleged looting and burglary. people who were arrested for firearm violations. one person arrested for an assault on a police officer. 13 officers were injured in the clashes there last night. but again, it's early, obviously, in the afternoon there. a little before 6:00 when a curfew's supposed to be going into effect. and you can see there's unrest. there is crime happening on the streets of philadelphia in this moment. >>> meantime, protesters are taking to the streets in other cities across the country right now. as we have been reporting, many of them have been peaceful today. demonstrators showing up in masks with signs

you had to live in philadelphia most of the year. you probably were leaving your family, your home, your business, your farm, your plantation the for many, many months at a time. communication was poor because it took a really long time for the mail to go, and travel was really difficult and uncomfortable, so you weren't getting to visit all that often. so you were probably talking an economic hit by -- taking an economic hit by being away from your main source of income, and you were dealing with sort of an uncomfortable reality. to most people really didn't wallet these positions -- want these positions, and washington had to appeal to their sense of honor and duty to get people to go into office. >> okay. so a question about lincoln. as you mentioned, doris kerns goodwin, of course, made a big splash with "team of rivals" trying to peg lincoln's political genius in part to his foresight in creating his cabinet. do you see lincoln as really that unique and changing the mold of what the cabinet looked like during the early republic

these pictures show the presidents house in philadelphia that is to the right and was contemporary and then this 3d model shows what the house would have looked like at the time and it was one of the first homes in philadelphia and was quite a grand residence. washington invited the secretaries over on november 26 because jefferson had gotten bad news from the british minister and they really felt like it was time to establish a new strategy for trying to figure out the trade agreements with france and great britain. they basically had this meeting where they laid out all of the existing policies and what their future goals would be. not too much came of that meeting but what is interesting is those issues, the relationships with france and great britain and those continued to dominate both washington's presidency and also cabinet deliberations to the remainder of his administration. >> how did washington handle disagreement within the cabinet? you alluded to the fact that jefferson and hamilton did not always see i to i so how did washington handle disputes that might've even gotten h

they would visit local philadelphia families. they were socializing together almost every day and you can bet that they were talking up what they had discussed earlier. so i think he was probably having more private conversations about his feelings than working with the virginia delegates to try to get certain things past. he just prefer to work in smaller groups as opposed to speak in front of the entire convention. >> next question from brine. can you tell us more about washington's philadelphia home where some of those cabinet meetings took place? what was the homelike, the neighborhood and added that affect the meetings? >> it's a great question. i think this space is a important something we don't often consider about how our surroundings affect us on a day-to-day basis. so the home as i i said was onf the largest private homes in philadelphia. it was sort of in the heart of a very nice, elite district on market and sixth streets. if you go to philadelphia today, there's a memorial, sort of half of the floor plan, the first

they were in philadelphia. in philadelphia, while there was slavery, the biggest issue in philadelphia was remaining free, after the fugitive slave act, and two, there was prejudice against them that came. that is why they had to start their own churches. african-americans worshiped in churches with mixed parishioners and then were being told they had to worship on the balconies. and when they wanted to start their own churches, benjamin rush drew up the first plan, the white churches were mad that it made them look like they were prejudiced. so keep in mind thing to keep in , one mind is abolition is incredibly important as a subject. but in many northern cities, the biggest racial issue day in and day out was making sure that free blacks had rights. rush went on to make sure that they had educations, that they were taught as part of the public school systems. so even these big-picture issues are different in different states at different times. but our fear that the 1% controls everything, i bet if went back

we've been showing philadelphia. we have some breaking news now from myrtle beach, south carolina. our chief white house correspondent john roberts is reporting that the a mayor there has declared a civil emergency after a what they're describing as a credible threat against the myrtle beach police department. basically there are three busloads of protesters, we're told, on their way to the city to, they say, they use the word protest in front of the police headquarters. we saw what happened to at least one or more police headquarters in a minneapolis area. so they're now declaring a civil emergency. so, senator, i want to add that to what you were saying a moment ago, that some of these folks were trying to burn down the country. when you go through city after city where this is happening -- >> right. ed: -- has it reached the level n your opinion, that the president does need to give an oval office address or something like that since this is not just happening in one city and maybe it's time to pause and hear from him directly? enter yeah. and i think you're right, i think it is

, to become one of the wealthiest men in philadelphia. a true success. washington is the same sort of success story. he was not born into everything. he inherited some, but he worked hard. and they were creating something new, and they looked over to europe and they saw a few leaders. and franklin knew a lot of those personally because he had spent time in europe, and he realized they were decadent and he looked at the people and the people were like sheep. they wanted to create something new. they were both children of the enlightenment and they wanted to create this new thing. they wanted to create a government of the people. that is what washington wrote in the draft, a government of the people. lincoln later borrowed it, but that was from washington. and to do that -- and that is what franklin dreamed about, too. to do that, they believed they needed both republican virtue, as they called it, republican virtues in the people, and republican virtue in the leaders because they feared a demagogue. a person like a patrick henry would be t

to new york and then philadelphia, by the time the teak ship went to philadelphia, coming off delaware but philadelphians knew what happened in boston. they didn't know what happened in charleston but they knew what happened in boston. so they figured out that what we do, we just don't let the teak ship entered the harbor. if it doesn't enter the harbor, then we are not confronted with this headline in the people in charleston. basically they intercepted the teacher after it came in, whatever you do, don't let this come to philadelphia. in fact, they intercepted the ship, they persuaded the captain that he was smart not to come into the harbor and he didn't. he resupplied the ship and he turned around and headed back. the same thing happened with the ship going to new york, although it happened much later because the teak ship headed to new york was blown off course and ended up there which i'm sure many would like to do but this is the teak captain there and what happened in all the areas in north america when the tea chips came in from so they wrote a letter to new york saying well,

philadelphia still a very, very tense scene here in the center city area of philadelphia. brian todd, cnn, philadelphia. >> joining me now is cnn political commentator and a former obama administration official van jones. van, great to have your voice particularly right now. a lot of talk about how the message of peaceful protesters has been overwhelmed by the noise of clashes, looting and so on. what do you see when you look at the country tonight? is that noise in some ways necessary as some people say? >> here's what i see. there's 40 million african-americans in the united states. all of us are heartbroken. all of us are disgusted. many of us depressed in ways we've never been. this is the first time that you literally, you cannot tell your children how they are supposed to survive that kind of brutality. you always have this imagination, somehow you'd say, well, speak properly, don't run, don't have drugs, don't have weapons, pull your pants up. this was a complete disaster, and so every african-american in the country, 40 million heartbroken. and there's some tiny mi
