Masked rioters STORM colosseum in Rome as violent unrest spreads · THE DAILY BRIEF

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: France is a very violent country.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: I think it has a history of social protests and revolutions,
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: and we're only going.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: To see it get worse in the months and the
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: years ahead.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Massive riots engulfing France again yesterday, with more than 1,300
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: protesters arrested and dozens of officers injured, as the country
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: once again braces for more potential riots.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: And the demonstrations are taking over other parts of Europe, too,
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: with large crowds in Rome. seen forcing their way into
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: the beautiful Colosseum.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Jonathan Hunt, live on the ground in Paris with the
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: very latest for us. Hey, Jonathan.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Good morning again to you guys. And I think that
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: fact that these protests that began here in France are
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: now spreading to other countries across Europe, Spain, Italy, Albania, Serbia,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: all saw protests yesterday, is one of the most interesting
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: factors here and a clear sign that centrist policies here
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: and politics across much of Europe seems to be crumbling.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Voters and political candidates moving as a result of that
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: to the more extreme wings on both the left and right.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Here in France, meantime, yesterday, we saw something like 400,000
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: protesters on the street nationally, 110,000 of them here in Paris,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: protesting once again what they see as falling educational standards,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: dim job prospects, and the rising cost of living. But
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the protest this time, unlike last week, was moved from
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: the very center of Paris out to the southwestern edge
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: of the city. That certainly made it easier for the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: hugely increased number of police officers to corral the crowd.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: They did that successfully for many hours. But then, as
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: the march ended and as the sun set, Some of
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: those protesters tried to make a break to head back
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: towards central Paris, presumably intent on causing the same kind
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: of trouble they did a week earlier. That's when the
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: police moved in, in force once again, deploying water cannon
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and tear gas, and we saw those clashes play out
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: over a couple of hours. But it's a mark, I think,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: of just how desperate the situation is here, that those 1,000
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: arrests and the more isolated protests instances of looting were
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: considered a success by the French authorities simply because it
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: wasn't as bad as a week before. But this country
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: and others in Europe are clearly in trouble. Back to
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: you guys.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: All right, Jonathan Hunt, Life Force in Paris. Jonathan, thank you.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Jonathan.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: And with that, let's bring in Fox News Sunday anchor
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Shannon Bream. Good morning, Shannon. Thanks for joining us. You're
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: going to be probably talking a lot about what we're
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: seeing happening all across France and even in other European cities.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we are. We'll have Jonathan with us as well
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: on Fox News Sunday. And we're dedicating one of our
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: panels to it because it's a big question about exactly
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: what is driving this. It may have started as one
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: thing and many would agree it's morphed into something else.
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: How does France get a handle on it? And now
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: that it's spreading to other westernized countries, you know, is
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: this the beginning of something? Can it be gotten under control?
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: There are a lot of questions as it continues to
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: grow at this point.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I really believe that, you know, on top of
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: all the economic issues, you know, that are underpinning a
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: lot of this, the illegal immigration. But there is an
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: NGO part of this, Shannon. There are left wing groups
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: that are funded the mass migration to begin with. that
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: are stoking these types of riots. And I think we
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: need to get to the bottom of that. I know
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: here in the United States, we thankfully got rid of USAID,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: and that took care of a lot of things in
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: terms of these nebulous NGOs and the money going to them.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: who is funding these NGOs and why do they want
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: this unrest? What is their end goal?
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: And that's a great question because we know whether it's
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: here or abroad, whenever something goes wrong or there's a
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: protest about something, it may have some legitimate origins, but
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: often outside groups will get in there. They leverage it.
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: It is a great opportunity for them. They like the unrest.
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: They like the destabilization. Douglas Murray's got a good piece
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: in The Spectator where he talks about you know, this
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: isn't just a France problem. You've got to look around.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: And he said it's not that France was unwelcoming or racist.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: In fact, it welcomed people in and it tried to
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: make a place and community for them. It's because they
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: welcomed in people who maybe never had some of them
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: good intentions about being there in France. And you just
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: have to have your eyes open about what's happening, not there,
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: not just there, but around the world.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Assimilation is a conversation that we all have to get
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: real about. We also want to ask you this. We
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: want to ask you about what's going on in Alaska.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: The DOJ is now suing to preemptively block Alaska from
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: certifying its Senate race results. If the GOP incumbent loses
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: by a narrow margin, and their argument is that voters
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: may be confused because two of the Republicans on the
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: ballot have nearly the exact same name, Dan J. Sullivan
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: and Dan S Sullivan. That was done on purpose, wasn't it?
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: And do you think this could hurt the election? Well, it's,
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: you know, the filing, if you read through it, is
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: pretty straightforward. It's not just the name situation.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: If you look at the logos and the signs from
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: Dan Sullivan and Daniel J. Sullivan, the color schemes, they're
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: using these bright yellow stars. I mean, it's almost impossible
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: to tell the signs apart. So it tells you that
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: this is clearly done for one purpose, which is to
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: confuse and create chaos. Now, the filing by the DOJ
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: does a deep dive into the findings by the state
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: division of elections there in Alaska. It cites the findings
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: by that board that Dan J. Sullivan, Daniel J. Sullivan,
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: by their assessment, he filed this candidacy not for a
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: legitimate reason, but to confuse and to muddy the waters
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: and to disrupt this election. So that's what the DOJ
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: is arguing. They're saying, listen, despite what the state Supreme
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: Court there did in Alaska saying, OK, they can both
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: be on the ballot, the state division of elections there
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: found this was done for a nefarious reason by their assessment.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Totally.
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: And they're saying, listen, if that and, you know, the
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: DOJ's role in part is to protect the integrity of
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: federal elections. And they are claiming that's at stake here.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: And that's what was in sync with the first time
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: when Dan J. Sullivan was originally removed before the Alaska
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: Supreme Court put him back on. Is that correct?
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, he was not going to be on
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: the ballot. But when the state Supreme Court says, yeah,
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: we find that this is the correct process and he's
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: going to be on the ballot. When you look back
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: into those findings by the Division of Elections, what they
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: said was he came to this as Daniel J.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Sullivan.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: He wanted his name to be Dan Sullivan on the ballot.
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: He wanted an R by his name, which would have
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: meant two entries that said Dan Sullivan with an R. Now,
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: how in the world can anybody vote and know which
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: one of them they're picking? That's not how the ballots
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: ended up, but it's created enough confusion that the feds say,
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: we want to plant our stake in the ground here
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: that if this thing goes wrong, we want to make
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: sure that voters actually got the person they thought they
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: were voting for.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: All right, my friend, what's coming up on the show today?
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: Well, we've got the speaker with us exclusively, Mike Johnson.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: He continues to say, despite all the polls and prognostications
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: out there, Republicans have a path to holding on to
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: the House. So we're going to dig into the numbers
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: with him. We've also got Mitch Landrieu. You remember him
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: as the Democratic mayor of New Orleans. He was lieutenant
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: governor there as well. He's sniffing around 2028. But this
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: is a guy who's very centrist and moderate. He's spoken
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: out against the DSA. Is there even a place for
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: him in the party now? What's the future of the party?
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: We'll talk to him about that.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: A distinctive gumbo-flavored show coming up today. We've got a team.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Shannon.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: See you guys.
