ASHLEY WEBSTER (GUEST HOST): We have seen now, over a hundred days of protests in Portland. It's been another weekend of violent protests in Seattle. The Michigan GOP headquarters building was vandalized with anti-police statements. I want to know — and it becomes increasingly frustrating — when does this end?

BRIAN KILMEADE (FOX NEWS HOST): When the cops are in power to stop it. When a mayor who'll go and use the resources of the federal government to help stop it. When we start convincing these antifa — these people, law enforcement officials, to not let the antifa individuals go. Sit there, lock them up and interrogate them, almost like you would Al Qaeda. Because they are undermining our country the same way this Islamist extremists were doing it. We were dead serious about that, we're not dead serious about this. And now we have Seattle, a hundred days, Portland, a hundred days, when we have Rochester, New York, now with outlandish out-of-towners coming in, creating chaos.
