Protests erupt in Minnesota following Daunte Wright shooting

Good morning and welcome to Fox News First. Here’s what you need to know as you start your day

Protests erupt in Minnesota following fatal police shooting of Daunte Wright

Protesters and police clashed for a second night Monday outside the Brooklyn Center Police Department after the fatal shooting of Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old Black man, during a traffic stop.

Police said at an early morning press conference that 40 people had been arrested.

Authorities fired tear gas and flash-bang grenades into the crowd and some protesters lobbed smoke canisters back at police. Some protesters launched fireworks, according to reports. Looters also broke into a Dollar Tree store at a strip mall near the police station.

Police had put up a fence and concrete barricades around the building’s perimeter. It was surrounded by local police, as well as, Minnesota National Guard and Minnesota State Patrol officers, the Star Tribune reported.

Law enforcement issued dispersal orders to the crowd after 7:30 p.m. local time. Authorities warned that crowd that curfew violations are misdemeanor charges for anyone arrested.

Officers started making arrests shortly after 9 p.m., according to the Minnesota Operation Safety Net Twitter account. CLICK HERE FOR MORE ON OUR TOP STORY.

Pelosi blasts AOC, Squad members in new book: ‘You’re not a one-person show’: report

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has some humbling words for U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and other members of the so-called “Squad,” according to details from a forthcoming book.

According to excerpts of the book written by award-winning journalist Susan Page, Pelosi adopted a “child-like tone” when discussing Ocasio-Cortez and gave the following advice to members of the Squad:

“You’re not a one-person show. This is the Congress of the United States,” Axios reported.

An excerpt from the book published by USA Today – where Page serves as chief of the Washington bureau – recounts an interview Page conducted with Pelosi in July 2019, after her dispute with the Squad had “exploded.”

“Her anger at the four new progressive congresswomen was palpable,” Page wrote. CLICK HERE FOR MORE.

SOME PARTING WORDS

Newt Gingrich, the former House Speaker joined Sean Hannity on “Hannity” Monday night and gave his reactions to the unrest in Minnesota and warned against taking resources away from law enforcement.

“The danger we’ve got,” Gingrich said, “which we’ve had before – the Black Panther movement we had in the late 1960s, for example – engaged in fairly large-scale rioting, 2,500 bombs, that went off in 1969 and 1970, there were riots in an amazing number of cities in the 1960s and part of what you seem to have here is society can’t yet decide whether or not it favors law and order in the classic sense.”

Small dogs chase off bear that broke into California house while owner napped

Man’s best friend is not a bear’s best friend.

Typically, people probably don’t adopt terriers to act as guard dogs. That didn’t stop two terriers from protecting their California home from an unexpected intruder: a brown bear.

Deedee Mueller was taking a nap on Sunday when one of her dogs suddenly ran out of the room and started barking, the Sacramento Bee reports. The woman’s other dog, also a terrier, quickly followed after the first, also barking.

TREE STRUCK, SHATTERED BY LIGHTNING OUTSIDE WISCONSIN HIGH SCHOOL, VIDEO SHOWS

Mueller was unaware of it at the moment, but a brown bear had wandered into the house through an open door. Fortunately, the two dogs apparently scared off the larger animal.

The incident was caught on camera by Mueller’s security system. In the footage, which she uploaded to YouTube, the bear can be seen entering the house through a backdoor (after taking a drink from one of the house’s fountains).

The bear slowly walks around the kitchen, spending a lot of time near the fridge. At one point, the bear appears to react to something off-camera and then exits the house.

The two dogs then appear and charge at the bear towards the exit. The bear then stands in the backyard for a second, looking back in on the house. Fortunately, the two terriers stood their ground and the bear decided to leave without a fight.

On YouTube, Mueller wrote, “Young bear visited our Pasadena hillside home and ventured into the house through open kitchen door. Our two small terriers Squirt and Mei Mei said NO.”

Rhetorical ruse? Biden tries to change the meaning of bipartisanship

Joe Biden, who campaigned as the man who reaches across the aisle, is poised to push through his second multi-trillion-dollar measure with no Republican votes.

But not to worry. The Biden word wizards have found a way to move the rhetorical goalposts.

They are redefining bipartisanship. And they come out and say it. In fact, they’re so determined to change the public perception that they’ve trotted out senior officials on the record.

President Joe Biden speaks during a meeting with lawmakers to discuss the American Jobs Plan in the Oval Office of the White House, Monday, April 12, 2021, in Washington. 
(AP)

The president himself has made this point, but since he carefully limits his public exposure, it hasn’t quite taken. White House officials are no longer hiding the fact that Biden rarely engages with the media, no longer saying he’s too busy with the pandemic to do interviews. They are owning it as a strategy, again with on-the-record interviews.

What a contrast, though, with his predecessor, who tried to dominate the media’s coverage hour by hour. While Biden spent the weekend, as he does most weekends, out of sight, Donald Trump was addressing an RNC gathering at Mar-a-Lago, calling Mitch McConnell a “dumb SOB” and “stone-cold loser,” and unloading on such targets as Anthony Fauci and Brian Kemp.

Now that kind of name-calling is news, because McConnell is the most important Republican in Washington and this deepens the GOP civil war. But it’s also reminiscent of the quick-hit Twitter attacks that helped define Trump’s presidency, and is far easier to cover than the intricacies of Biden’s infrastructure package.

ANNE MILGRAM BECOMES LATEST CNN PUNDIT TO BE TAPPED FOR JOB IN BIDEN ADMINISTRATION

It’s still possible that Biden could cut an infrastructure deal—he met with lawmakers from both parties yesterday—but much more likely that he’ll use the same fast-track procedure that only requires Democratic votes.

Still, the Washington Post reports that the Biden team wants to broaden the definition of bipartisanship.

Senior adviser Anita Dunn told the paper: “If you looked up ‘bipartisan’ in the dictionary, I think it would say support from Republicans and Democrats. It doesn’t say the Republicans have to be in Congress.”

Another senior adviser, Mike Donilon: “The Biden definition of bipartisanship is an agenda that unifies the country and appeals across the political spectrum.”

And former Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel added his voice: “What’s become crystal clear is that Biden has redefined bipartisan.”

Simply declaring that, of course, doesn’t make it so. Imagine if Trump had pushed through not just his tax cuts but a second massive bill with just Republican votes. Would the media seriously entertain the notion that he was a bipartisan president?

I don’t dismiss the argument as crazy. Polls are showing significant Republican support for first the Covid law and now the infrastructure bill. Public approval of his handling of the pandemic is high. His initiatives do have some backing from state and local GOP officials. So if McConnell and Kevin McCarthy refuse to seriously negotiate, that doesn’t mean there are no Biden Republicans out there.

But it’s hard to truly claim the mantle of bipartisanship unless you can attract votes from at least some GOP lawmakers. In the past, presidents could use their personal popularity to pressure members of Congress. But these days neither party seems to pay a price for stiffing the opposition.

Another common pressure tactic employed by presidents was ye old media blitz.

BIDEN AIMS TO REDEFINE WORD ‘BIPARTISAN’ AS DEMS WORK TO PUSH SPENDING BILL WITHOUT ANY GOP VOTES

But that’s a tool Biden simply doesn’t use. He doesn’t personally try to win the news cycle or tweak the Twitterverse. As Politico points out:

“The president is not doing cable news interviews. Tweets from his account are limited and, when they come, unimaginably conventional. The public comments are largely scripted. Biden has opted for fewer sit-down interviews with mainstream outlets and reporters. He’s had just one major press conference—though another is coming–and prefers remarks straight to camera for the marquee moments. The White House is leaning more heavily on Cabinet officials to reach the audiences that didn’t tune into his latest Rose Garden event.”

Conventional tweets from a president—can you imagine?

Deputy Communications Director Kate Berner is quoted as saying their strategy is based on digital innovation, local press and “effectively using traditional national media”—though that’s usually with Cabinet members such as Pete Buttigieg, who just did two Sunday shows. “He’s the president, he’s got a lot on his plate…We don’t let his schedule be a limiting factor for us.”

Look, I get it. This is all about message discipline, about keeping Biden from wandering off script or committing a gaffe. If he does cable interviews, he may also be asked about the border or bipartisanship or his biting dog.

What’s more, Biden doesn’t want to be in people’s faces all the time like the former guy. He wants to keep the focus on policy and not his personality. And a president can do whatever he wants.

But missing from this story is any suggestion that Biden has a responsibility to the public to answer press questions. It’s just tossed off with “if it means criticism from the press and opponents about Biden’s availability, so be it.” If the president belonged to, say, another political party, we’d be awash in quotes from outraged pundits.

But hey, it’s early. When he hits a rough patch, as all presidents do, Biden may decide that he can’t just rely on surrogates to deliver a media message.

Portland police declare riot after vigil for Daunte Wright shooting

The Portland Police Department declared a riot late Monday outside the city’s Penumbra Kelly Building following a vigil in memory of Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old Black man who was fatally shot during a traffic stop in Minneapolis on Sunday.

The Oregonian newspaper, citing reporters at the scene, reported that a crowd swelled to at least 200 outside the building that houses law enforcement agencies.

Police in the city took to Twitter to say protesters hurdled projectiles “including bottles, rocks and large fireworks.” 

CITY MANAGER OUT OF JOB AFTER PUSHING BACK ON MAYOR WHO CALLED ON THE FIRING OF COP INVOLVED IN SHOOTING

“The situation at the Kelly Building has devolved into a riot,” a late-night tweet read. “Dispersal orders have been given. In addition to broken windows and continued projectiles being thrown at police, multiple attempts to breach the building have occurred.”

ILHAN OMAR SAYS VIOLENCE IS ‘BASIC PART OF POLICE INTERACTIONS’ WITH MINORITIES

The evening in Portland started with a vigil for Wright. Once it ended, about 200 people marched to the Kelly Building. The paper reported that police at the building pushed protesters back into the street and deployed flash-bang grenades.

Protests broke out in other states, including in Minnesota. Police there announced the arrests of 40 individuals early Tuesday stemming from clashes with police outside the Brooklyn Center Police Department. 

Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon described the shooting death Sunday of Wright as “an accidental discharge.”

It happened as police were trying to arrest Wright on an outstanding warrant. 

Greg Gutfeld: Vaccine virtue signaling and peer pressure — this is CNN

In between calling people racist and finding a therapist for Chris Cuomo, this happened on CNN yesterday:

BRIAN STELTER, “RELIABLE SOURCES” HOST, APRIL 11: It’s important to see all these TV anchors, personalities showing themselves getting the shot. We’ve seen a lot of vaccine selfies from lots of folks at lots of different networks. It’s been really inspiring to see. You know, the “Today” Show even brought the co-hosts outside for a live group vaccination this week, and Rachel Maddow on Friday on MSNBC talked about how she was really fearful of the needle, really worried about it, and yet it was important to get the shot. And she did, and there she is talking about it on air.

So I say all of that to make the following point. Where are Tucker and Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, where’s Ainsley Earhardt, Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade? Where are the biggest stars on Fox getting vaccinated? I get it’s a personal choice. I get that’s between, you know, the hosts and their health care provider. But everybody else is doing it all across television. All these anchors are rolling up their sleeves. Why do you think we haven’t seen the biggest stars on Fox News get vaccinated or show us their vaccine selfies?

So now virtue signaling includes telling people to virtue signal.

CNN’S STELTER MOCKED FOR COMPLAINING FOX NEWS JOURNALISTS HAVEN’T SHARED ENOUGH ‘VACCINE SELFIES’

OK, Brian, I’ll bite. Why haven’t we made a vanity display of our vax status? Because it’s none of your [expletive] business.

If Brian Stelter believes personal medical info should be publicized, he can start with his cholesterol. His HDL numbers are lower than his ratings. The World Obesity Federation found risk of death from COVID-19 is ten times higher in countries where the population is overweight, and he’s accusing Fox of not setting a healthy example? That’s as rich as the frosting on his morning strudel. If Stelter wants to do a fitness “Battle of the Network Stars,” count me in, unless it’s a pie eating contest.

Last week I called CNN The Shame Network, because all it does is look down at Americans, but it’s actually worse than that. It’s now officially pro-peer pressure. Let’s replay Brian’s key argument, shall we?

STELTER: Where are the biggest stars on Fox getting vaccinated? I get it’s a personal choice … but everybody else is doing it.

STELTER GUSHES ABOUT ‘EXTRAORDINARY’ ‘BREATHTAKING’ HUNTER BIDEN MEMOIR

That’s a great point, Brian. So does that mean you will start showing your news sources, since other reporters are doing it? You know what else other people are doing? Thirty minutes of cardio.

Actually, saying you should do something because other people are doing it isn’t what I would call wisdom. That’s what your worst friend from grade school says. It’s how Bob Lawson got me to eat slugs (that, and they were delicious).

As it happens, I got my shot, and there’s a reason you didn’t see it: Not everything has to be made for TV. You know what happens when you think like that? This:

CHRIS CUOMO’S EMERGENCE FROM HIS BASEMENT COMPARED TO ‘BRIAN WILLIAMS IRAQ MOMENT’

A completely manufactured moment, all to get it on TV and signal his virtue as if he was down there the whole time and not across the the street picking fights with locals. So maybe worry less about showing off and more about being real.

The fact is, if comorbidity could talk, its name would be Brian Stelter. According to The Washington Post, one study attributed 30% of COVID hospitalizations to obesity. So rather than demanding we parade our virtuousness, Stelter should be showing us what he’s doing to get better. Instead, he’s tearing a rotator cuff patting himself on the back. If this guy did one sit-up for every time he shamed other people, he’d have an eight-pack in two days.

But you see, it’s not about improving health. It’s about showing off while shaming you. Reducing body fat is the number one lifestyle change that improves your chances against COVID, and it requires self-control, which is exactly why it’s less popular than the apple slices in your Happy Meal. CNN would rather elevate their heart rates by making people hate each other. Instead of a vaccine passport, maybe they prefer a scarlet letter.

CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

My humble advice: If you have heightened risks for COVID, address them before judging others. Stelter is behaving like the guy who smokes cigarettes and then criticizes you for eating red meat.

The truth is, if you get a vaccine because someone on TV did, you’re an idiot. Take responsibility for yourself and make up your own mind. You can still do that in America, I think.

Victor Davis Hanson blasts Delta’s CEO on ‘wokeness’: ‘If you make $17M’ you’re ‘not committed to equity’

Author and historian Victor Davis Hanson joined “The Ingraham Angle” and called today’s social landscape “the Great Awokening”, and remarked the dozens of corporations that signal their devotion to “equity” are both disingenuous as well as more fearful of the loud, progressive “30 percent” than the more conservative yet more passive “70 percent” — singling out Delta Airlines CEO Edward Bastian who has spoken out against Georgia’s election integrity law.

HANSON: I don’t think they make very good representatives of the woke movement and they shouldn’t lecture people on equity and inclusion and diversity, because that’s what they’re doing. 

If you’re a CEO at Delta and you make $17 million a year — and that works out to about $65,000 a day for each working day — I don’t think anybody wants to take you very seriously about how committed you are to equity: Because, you can do a lot in the concrete rather than the abstract. People are getting really tired of being lectured by these groups. They’re going to find out that we’re going to start to ask them exactly what are the percentages of race and gender in your own corporate boardroom and your own children going to prep schools and Ivy League. So far it’s always been the consequences of our theories were going to fault ‘Irene Irredeemable’ or ‘Donnie Deplorable’ — but never us.

…

One [‘Great Awokening’ assumption] is that merit never really was important; it was just a construct. So, if you want half of the new pilot-training candidates at United [Airlines] based on race, it won’t matter. If you’re going to arbitrarily restrict half the White population that gets into Harvard or Yale, it didn’t matter. Or if you’re going to lower bar standards, they were too high anyway. That’s an experiment. We’ll see what happens. I’m very dubious.

LIVE UPDATES: Derek Chauvin murder trial continues, defense ready to call witnesses

The murder trial of former Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin is set to continue Tuesday. 

Judge Peter A. Cahill told the jury that the defense would begin presenting its case on Tuesday. He added that all evidence in the case will likely be finished by the end of the week. 

Chauvin, 45, is on trial for the murder and manslaughter of George Floyd, who died during an arrest in Minneapolis on May 25

On Monday, Floyd’s younger brother offering emotional recollections of his late sibling while testimony from a police “use-of-force” expert told the court that no “reasonable” officer would have acted the way Chauvin did.

FAST FACTS

    • Chauvin, 45, is charged with second and third-degree murder and manslaughter in the death of Floyd.
    • Defense attorney Eric Nelson has argued that the now-fired White officer did what he was trained to do and that Floyd’s death was caused by illegal drugs and underlying medical problems.

    Defense attorney Eric Nelson has argued that the now-fired White officer did what he was trained to do and that Floyd’s death was caused by illegal drugs and underlying medical problems.

Seth Stoughton, an associate professor at the University of South Carolina School of Law, judged Chauvin’s actions against what a reasonable officer in the same situation would have done, and repeatedly found that Chauvin did not meet that test.

“No reasonable officer would have believed that that was an appropriate, acceptable, or reasonable use of force,” Stoughton said of the way Floyd was held facedown with a knee across his neck for up to 9 minutes, 29 seconds. Stoughton said a reasonable officer would not have viewed the bystanders as a threat while they were restraining Floyd.

Earlier in the day, Philonise Floyd took the witness stand and lovingly recalled how his older brother used to make the best banana mayonnaise sandwiches. The sibling also recalled how George drilled him in catching a football, and the way George used to mark his height on the wall as a boy because he wanted to grow taller.

During his testimony, Floyd, 39, began to cry as he was shown a picture of his late mother and a young George, saying, “I miss both of them.” Philonise Floyd described growing up in a poor area of Houston with George and the rest of his family.

Dr. Jonathan Rich, a cardiology expert from Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, echoed previous witnesses in saying Floyd died of low oxygen levels from the way he was held down by police. He rejected defense theories that Floyd died of a drug overdose or a heart condition. Floyd had fentanyl and methamphetamine in his system, high blood pressure, and narrowing of the heart arteries, according to previous testimony.

Fox News will present coverage surrounding the historic trial throughout the week. In addition to programming on the Fox News Channel, Fox News Digital will provide livestreams of the proceeding at FoxNews.com.

LIVE UPDATES: Minnesota police, protesters clash after Daunte Wright shooting; dozens arrested

At least 40 people were arrested after protesters and police clashed for a second night outside the Brooklyn Center Police Department, authorities said during a press conference early Tuesday. 

Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the precinct as they defied curfew and demanded justice for Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old Black man fatally shot by police during a traffic stop. 

Authorities fired tear gas, and flash-bang grenades into the crowd. Protesters retaliated by throwing smoke canisters back toward law enforcement, while others launched fireworks at the police lines, according to reports.

“Move back!” the police chanted. “Hands up! Don’t shoot!” the crowd chanted back. 

Authorities said officers were shelled “pretty significantly,” with objects thrown from the crowd. A few officers were hit by debris and suffered minor injuries during the unrest, police said.

FAST FACTS

    • The Minneapolis area also erupted in looting and riots late Sunday
    • Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon described the shooting death Sunday of 20-year-old Daunte Wright as “an accidental discharge.”

Earlier, police put up a fence and concrete barricades around the building’s perimeter. It was surrounded by local police, as well as, Minnesota National Guard and Minnesota State Patrol officers, the Star Tribune reported. 

Looters also broke into a Dollar Tree store at a strip mall near the police station.

Police shot and killed Wright during a traffic stop in a Minneapolis suburb, on Sunday. The bodycam footage showed three police officers gathered near a stopped car that was pulled over an expired registration. Police attempted to arrest Wright for an outstanding warrant, leading to a struggle, followed by the fatal shooting.

Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon said the officer who shot and killed Wright had intended to fire a Taser, not the handgun.

The officer was identified as Kimberly A. Potter, whose career with the Brooklyn Center Police Department has spanned more than 25 years, the Star Tribune reported. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said Monday night that Potter is on standard administrative leave.

Laura Ingraham: Big corporations supporting woke ideals ‘completely at odds’ with business values

More and more big businesses are hopping on the bandwagon to back liberal ideology when in reality what they’re supporting is against all-things corporate, “The Ingraham Angle” host Laura Ingraham argued Monday.

INGRAHAM: It’s increasingly obvious that much of the business community supports an agenda that’s not only disastrous for working-class Americans but completely at odds with their beliefs and values…

Most Americans are also concerned about the hard left and its obsession with canceling anyone who disagrees with its extreme views. You failed to repeat their poisonous orthodoxy and you’re at risk of losing your job and being smeared as a racist. But while corporate America wants us to defend the free market, look, they’re not going to defend the free market of ideas. In fact, they eagerly embrace the woke left’s reign of economic terror…

Now, in time, most people in the business world, I promise you, they’re going to realize that tying their fortunes to the hard left was a massive, a colossal mistake. And likewise, over time, it’s going to become painfully obvious to people living on the two coasts that just as the angle predicted, they’re going to be left behind. In the meantime, we’re going to continue to build our populist movement in all 50 states with practical solutions that work for all races and creeds.
