Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

1. This AM we learned Bari Weiss sent an email to CBS News staff asking them to submit a memo explaining how they spend their time and what’s working/not working.

Now, the Writers Guild, the union which reps some CBS News staff, says it has sent a demand to CBS to get more info about Bari’s request

Dear Guild Members:
We are aware that Bari Weiss sent an email asking CBS employees to provide information about their jobs and feedback about CBS News. Many of you have expressed concern to us about the purpose of the email, and we share those concerns. That is why we sent the company an immediate demand to provide information about the email by Monday. (Information request copied below.) We suggest that you refrain from responding until we are able to share the information that we receive so that you can make an informed decision by the Tuesday deadline.
Solidarity,
Michael Isaac, Director of
