Transcripts For MSNBCW All In With Chris Hayes 20170411

Country, theyre fools. All in starts right now. Theres no formal designation for president s first 100 days. Its hard to imagine how he would care more. Edge, judgment day approaches, 100 days is the marker and weve got twoandahalf weeks to turn everything around said one white house official. This is going to be a monumental task. He took credit today to get crossed off the republican checklist. The confirmation of neil gorsuch who took the oath of office to become the Newest Supreme Court justice. Its something so special. In fact, ive always heard that the most important thing that a president of the United States does is appoint people, hopefully great people like this appointment to the United States Supreme Court and i can say, this is a great honor. And i got it done in the first 100days, thats even nice. While the president did nominate gorsuch, credit surely belongs to Senate Majority leader who ran it through the senate and blew up the fill buster, adopting an entirely historically unprecedented poster of refusing to hold hearings for garlands, president s nominee. Every major effort undertaken has fallen into disarray. Take the recent attack on syria. The assad regimes use of chemical weapons, a move that contradicted about everything the president said in the past about foreign intervention in general, and syria in particular. Its impossible to tell where he stands, arguably, the biggest source of current and global stability. With top members of his own directly contradicting each other on the record about whether the administration supports toppling syrian dictator bashar al assad. We can navigate a political out come in which the Syrian People will determine the fate and his legitimacy. Theres no political solution that any of us can see with assad at the lead. His lack of cohearns is not the exception. It is the rule. Look at the on going civil war in the white house. Jared kushners and steve bannon, according to New York Times the president has warned his soninlaw and chief strategist, to quote, work this out. Editors at briet donald trump bart, told staffers to stop writing stories critical. If they managed to kiss and make up, it will not resolve the larger battle for control of the administrations entire domestic agenda. At the core, there is no agenda, not with a man who seems to lack any interest of substance of policy occupying oval office. He may have campaigned but now it appears theyre entirely expendable. According to the ap, the president has scrapped the very tax plan he campaigned on going back to the drawing board in research and behind legislation to over haul the u. S. Tax system. He reportedly unorthodox proposal like a drastic cut aimed at pleasing democrats. The president was similarly all over the place on the health care bill. First, happy to abandon after installed in the house pledging to work with democrats and fix the system and announcing republican efforts were back on. Now after a string of setbacks, both travel bans being held up in court, the on going russian scandal which turns on day by day and very public and white house in fighting members of the administration are reportedly looking to rebrand. According to politico staffers and recent Communications Meeting were broken into three groups to brainstorm list of early successes. On the subject to Foreign Policy, Communications Director diagnosed a deeper problem, there is no trump doctrine. Joining me now former rnc chairman Michael Steel now msnbc political analyst. Political consultant. Michael, ill start with you. I was thinking about this today. I feel like i knew what the trump agenda was once upon a time. If you ask me what it is now, i absolutely could not tell you. Well, you know, i think lets start with this idea of a doctrine. I think people kind of forget that george bush didnt have a formal doctrine in place to nearly the beginning of his second term. It wasnt like, you know, week after 9 11 there was a bush doctrine. These things take time. The administration is getting its footing, in terms of how its going to engage on a number of the big sticky Foreign Policy issues. So this idea that theres some doctrine emerging is a little bit premature. Let me say two things on that. A, i agree with you, b, no doctrine is better than a bad doctrine. I dont think theres a rush, which i think the bush doctrine was. To me, rick, its i agree with michael on this idea of doctrine. Im just talking agenda. Ill just mean like what is up. What are you trying to do, what are you trying to do to the country. What in particular legislatively, what do you want to do and how are you making decisions to get there. I could not tell you right now what that is. Chris, this is a president with a stalking gigantic case of hdad. He cannot focus for 30 seconds on anything. He doesnt believe anything in his heart. Theres no ideological north star, theres nothing he truly cares about except for his own ego. Everything has drawn the event and hes not a guy who has thought about issues and thought about policies beyond what he thinks gets a good applause line. The fact that this is a guy with a famous slogan on a red hat is not a legislative or political or governance agenda at all. He is a guy who is everything is concontingent. Hes going to have a really tough time either getting republicans on board or democrats to bring them over. Theres no path there where they trust this guy to be consistent. Well, and michael, rick had it today and ive seen several variations out of the trouble with Trumps White House is donald trump. I think is particular at this moment for this white house, its not that theres inviting the white house. Theres always factions, but, generally, theres a sense that the person in the center of it isnt just an empty vessel who the winner convinced to support anything. When you read the reports, its coming from the white house, maybe youll get a carbon tax, or maybe well deport. Who knows. Well, you know, i think ray hits it out of the park in terms of where the anchors are. Thats why bannon and all of the conversation about bannon being relegated to regions of the administration is just not Holding Water because he has, in many respects, come to represent that ideological mooring that trump has not expressed interest. Hes open to all ideas and open to none. Youve got to have, this is where everybody else is starting to play a role, which is why you see the tensions rising in the west wing, the way they are, because its now nut cutting time. Youve got to settle down on a budget, which sets out priorities. You have now this in the middle east, thats got to be formed and shaped into something that resembles a Foreign Policy and thats where this real sticky part of governing is coming to a head. And thats where, also, in terms of the sort of nikki haley and rex tillerson, theres always different factions and different voices and different policies. But that is proven to me evidently been a huge failing of the white house thus far. Even just, its not the policies are good or bad. Before you get to that level of analysis, is there a policy . Look, every president benefits from having a strong effective chief of staff. Riens priebus is a nice man and good add main traitor. Hes 0 administrator. Hes not able to say to trump, stop tweeting, read your speeches, do these things, make these calls. Stop having 47 people rush in and out of your office and change your mind on things every 30 seconds. You know, theres a lot of talk about whether riens priebus will leave or stay. Would you notice at this point. This is a president who manages himself. He is not managed by a chief of staff. Every president needs one. Its an iron law of washington. Can i just real quick, that is the core point. It is part in parcel why the administration is where it is because donald trump basically manages himself. And i should say this, you know, there are lots of things that are happening in the agencies that are going to produce real tangible results. I dont want to downplay that, like things on climate. But to me the thing thats teed up. When you get sworn in as president of the United States and you have both houses in your party, that doesnt happen that often, you basically get to take a run at one or two, maybe three big legislative items and you get you dont get a lot of bites at the apple. It is hard to get that done. Right now if i am, you know, if im betting on tax reform, to me, or health care, or anything legislatively. The odds go down every day. What do you guys say, quickly. Listen, a lot of members of congress were saying, to me, in november and december, hey, weve got a year, well have all of the stuff were doing to accomplish. Well bring him to hill. It will be great. Everything is going to go smoothly. Really, right now nothing is going smoothly. Theres a bleak process i think the instinct to hunt on some of the big issues. I know right now infrastructure and the wall, for example, are going to be hot button items. There are some things where administration can carve out some legislative success. Well see if theyre able to do it. Thank you both. All right. Joined now by cory shocky. Former member of the National Security council under george w. Bush. One of the things that ive seen people say about the syria strike is that all sorts of people who dont like donald trump like that he did that. And i wonder if it makes someone if it makes people question their views if he did the thing that you like. Thats a good question. I do think that what the president did was surprising, not only because it was 180 degrees out from what we thought his policy was on syria, but also because in the president s own words in describing the strike, he defended it as not just advancing american interest, but being willing to enforce the norm in the International Order against chemical weapons use. That is not just taking action in support of our interest, but also in support of big broad norms. And that, too, sounds very different than the president campaigned on. I have a theory about this, as someone of the veteran bush administration, i would love for you to tell me what you think of this. Anyone who gets elected president have a little bit of god complex. You have to have outside stupendous ego. Then you become president , you can save humanity, you can save the world. With your might, you can intervene and you can help these people and these people and its just psych cologically incredibly seductive to be told that and then to act on it. Yeah. That sounds plausible to me. I actually think having the discipline not to act on a provocation like watching pictures of children killed with gas, but that is the challenge that terrorism poses, right . Because its always a temptation to redirect and respond to provocations like this, even when its not consistent with your strategy. Discipline has not been the hallmark of President Trumps political career. Do you its interesting you use the word terrorism to describe this attack. I think of it as a war crime, to the extent that we know it was assad, which seems to be the case, although its hard to be definitive about all of this, it was a state actor that pulled it off. What do you mean by terrorism. I mean terrorizing a population by using weapons of mass destruction. So youre right, its not, technically, a terrorist organization because its a state government. But it was unquestionable an act of terror, designed either to try and break resistance of the population to what assad is trying to impose on them or just to kill a lot of people. I really interpreted the primary, the essential Foreign Policy issue that litigated in the republican primary was the neo conservetism that that definitively lost in the primary, definitively rejected. And i wonder the extent to you, someone who is in the world more than i am, whether the people around the Foreign Policy establishment still do adhere to that and ultimately going to carry the day because theyre just the people around to staff this president. Well, most of the republicans who believe who support those principle positions arent actually staffing this president , right . Because it was all of the signers of the never trump letters. So thats what makes so surprising, what looks like a migration towards those same policies by the president himself. So its not just that that sensible members of the cabinet that help all of us sleep better at night, despite the president s erratic behavior, but its the president himself made a surprisingly speech about the strikes in syria, right . Yeah. Closing off, not just saying god bless america. Everyone. But everyone. Yeah. And there were he casted that very widely in that speech, i thought. Thanks for your time. Thanks. After the break senator cory booker joins me to assess the law and order policies and policing approaches like this new video out of florida. Well have booker here just after this twominute break. Wheni broke almost everyent bone in both my legs. When i came home from the hospital i needed to be able to recover. Tempurpedic allowed me to do just that. Because i dont have the average body type anymore i feel like my tempurpedic really conforms to my body shape. Power is not giving up, its choosing to thrive. Tempurpedic sleep is power. Find your exclusive retailer at tempurpedic. Com so yourhow nice. A party . Ill be right there. And the butchery begins. What am i gonna wear . This party is super fancy. Lets go. Im ready. Are you my uber . [ horn honks ] hold on. Dont wait for watchathon week to return. [ doorbell rings ] whos that . Show me netflix. Sign up for netflix on x1 today and keep watching all year long. Law and order president and yesterday we got yet another glimpse of what that will mean. In a peace titled how Jeff Sessions wants to bring back the war on drugs, Washington Post highlighted a man name steven cook, former cop who became a federal prosecutor who sessions appointed one of his top lieutenants to help undue the criminal justice policies from obama and former attorney general eric holder. Cook has called organizations that are against mandatory minimum sentences, antilaw enforcement groups argued the criminal Justice System which has produced the most incarcerated society on earth, is working just as it should. Ive been in the system since 1985, seven years before that i was on the street dealing with these thugs. What we did beginning in 1985 or long in there is put these laws to work. What we did by putting them to work, we started to filling the federal prisons with the worst of the worst. I sat down with senator booker, a democrat who worked with republicans to try to reform our criminal Justice System. We talked about whether the Justice Department that wants to roll back some of the obama era progress, desire to end federal oversight of local Police Departments had been seen abusing their authority. This one is really one disturbs me, the time you have so much discontent about Police Community relations. I was one of these folks when i was mayor, i was skeptical of consent decrees. Were you . They came in to newark, i sate, wait. You want control. I i was like why, were working hard on these issues, but what most people dont understand is consent decrees, its not the Justice Department coming in and tell you what to do, they do a real analysis, theyre getting millions of dollars to help us understand how to more effectively run our Police Department, to the point now that my we have great Police Director in new jersey, newark, rather, italian cop who grew up in the department who is raving about having this partnership. People get this wrong and think its like, Police Morale versus community relations, public safety, no. Theyre not mutual exclusive, theyre linked to each other. Its liberation end. You can have the way to have effective public safety, the way to have a great morale on the Police Department is to power the police to do their job well. Most cops want to be really effective on their job and want to have connections with the community. So there is, i think, there is this foreign bipartisan consensus about some of the failures of the war on drug and the approach to crime that produced mass incarceration. Youre someone who has been out spoken on that. Theres a question about now that were dealing with the epidemic, it is predominantly in areas if well get a different approach. Im going to play you this video thats been going around online. It indicates to me, people think, well see a lot of more empathy and treatment, im a little unsold on that. This is lake county florida, this is the local Police Department warning. To the dealers that are pushing this poison,vy a message for you, were coming for you. Were enjoy trying to sleep tonight wondering if tonight is the night our s. W. A. T. Team blows your front doors off the hinges. If our agents can show the nexus between you the pusher of poison and the person that overdoses and dies, we will charge you with murder. We are coming for you. Run. Now, i get people feeling like theyre in the midst of a crisis and emergency and something must be done. But i ask you, how much of the how much have we learned our lesson about what we did wrong the first time . Thats thats thats very disappointing sort of messaging to me to deal with a crisis that, in many ways, the whole way you approach the drug war, most americans dont realize we were pretty much the same globally when it comes to incarceration rates once you declare the war on drugs, 800 increase on the federal level, 500 increase on the state level. We know the racial impact of this because theres no difference between blacks and whites for using drugs. In fact, white people white people use drugs at higher rate. Even selling of drugs of some evidence. Smaller degree for white men, the realities africanamericans four times more likely. Worse than that, its sort of put racial bias and manifestation of that where these things are targeted. Not only are we feeling our prisons with people of color, its poor folks, one of my heroes says, brian stevenson, justice will treat you better if youre rich and guilty than poor and innocent. Addicted people, it rates at rates that are unconscienceble. Treating the demand. Is there i mean, is that a saleable message. Im not saying you dont hold people accountable who are doing this. But, you know, i the tactics weve used have proven wrong in terms of dealing with the drug crisis in this country, but there are so many great models of showing of what to deal with this, how to deal with this crisis. So when i hear that language, when i hear people going back to law and order, theres a word thats forgotten in that, which is justice, we need justice in this country, i dont care if youre black or white. We all want powered community. Right now were creating this dynamic, when i see things like that thats not as constructive as creating a partnership to deal with this crisis. Since i have you here there have been two big stories i want to get your thoughts on. Ive read some of your statements which i would characterize them as em bif lent. I believe there are i dont think thats indefensible, by the way, its complicated territory. Im not going to come out and celebrate this. I have some questions about was this a justifiable use of president ial power. Clearly, this was a heinous, heinous act. And im actually believing that america should respond, but what i havent heard is, what was the legal justification for this unilateral have they provided one, to your knowledge . No i went to classified briefing where we sat with incredible military leaders, we all should have a lot of pride but nobody showed me what the legal reason why. I think this is a terrible drift. If were using the authorization of military force from 2001 to justify this. That is not an attack on sovereign state, which is what we did, we went after sovereign state and i think its legitimate leader, its way off of the rails. For us not to ask these constitutional questions, for me as a member as part of one question, for me not to be calling that out is irresponsible. Im waiting to see what a legal justification is and im going to say that this is not as i see it right now and waiting for a response, what is your legal justification for doing. Its a very serious strike on a sovereign country. Now, again, heinous act, i dont believe this by the way, im relieved that assad suddenly like we should, like should be removed from power. This is administration that showed no over all strategy and mine would say theyre playing footsie with russia, i mean, ive seen more criticism of nordstrom than i have of putin. If this is a administration not willing to criticize russia, attack cyber attacks. This is important point. This is somebody thats empowering assad. This is someone who represented to the Previous Administration they were working to get rid of the weapons that would just then use in this attack. This is administration i dont see having a coherent strategy. I dont think it has least produced justifiable reason and i worry that were going to continue to wait without an overall plan on how well deal with the greater cry sees of our lifetime. Senator cory booker, thanks for making the time. Thank you very much. Still to come how to get elected with President Trump in the white house. Why the republicans are spooked about tomorrows election about a district that hasnt gone blue in decades. That after this quick break. Tomorrow marks the first Congressional Election of the trump era. For the seat formerly occupied by mike pompei who is now director of the cia. You might not have heard a lot about the race because nobody expected it to be competitive. The district hasnt gone democratic in more than two decades. He won the district by 27 points in november. But National Republican Congressional Committee seems a bit spooked. Its running ads like this against democratic candidate james thompson, civil rights attorney and army veteran and it say an ad that Thompson Says its outright false. James thompson supports late term abortions even your tax dollars to pay for abortions. It gets worse, he supports abortion even if the parents dont like the gender of their baby. James thompson, too extreme for kansas. Thats just part of the national gop effort to boost republican president , kansas state treasure. Paul ryans fundraising on his behalf, Vice President mike pence, chance this afternoon in wichita senator ted cruz made a Campaign Appearance and now even President Trump, himself, has recorded a robo call said he needs estes to help him get the job done. Thats a lot of effort for a race thats suppose to be easy win. And kansas is not the only red state where republicans are sweating. In georgia, staffer has raised a staggering 8. 3 million over the past three months in his race for the sixth district seat, formerly held by tom price. In 2012 mitt romney won the district by 24 . But President Trump only won there by a narrow 1. 5 margin last year. Its putting him solidly atop the 18 person field. In ossoff can get 50 , hell win the seat out right. If not, the top two candidate goss to a run off in june. Osoff is saying a victory for him would mark a message of resistance, theyre worried. Theyve spent a Million Dollars on attack ads against the 30yearold ossoff, including, one featuring youtube videos of him from college. These will send a message republican member of Congress Making decisions every day about what policies are going to pursue, who theyre willing to defend and how much Political Capital the white house really has. Well bring you report from the ground in kansas, thats next. Joining me now, where voters go to the polls tomorrow and special election to replace cia director mike pompei and national correspondent. Dave, this race is not has not gotten nearly as much attention because people didnt think it would be competitive at all. Its still, i think, clearly republican is heavily favored. Whats your sense on the ground there . Well, i would amend one thing you said in the introduction. Voting has begun already. Theres been early voting that ended at noon today. Thats one reason why it got panicked. People that they know are voting democratic are turning out much higher rate republicans. Republicans are confident. There are more of them in this district than democrats. Theyre struggling to get their way out. Thats interesting, weve been looking at the early voting and weve seen a similar trend, both of which, i think, i think its fair to say are impeer cal measures degree, anxiety, frustration, backlash thats been channeled by people that are in the resistance as a fashion themselves are showing up in some demonstrativeble way. More to it, there are a lot of false signals that the democrats took in 2016, took it from place to place. Whats different now without barack obama in the white house and without Hillary Clinton as a nominee. They havent really figured out what the issue thats going to bring people out to the polls and lots of places, donald trump is not popular in kansas, what makes it really interesting, the governor is terribly unpopular. They nominated the state treasure, the kind of person that walks into a race like this and wins. The fact that hes sounding off and tax cuts et cetera has been a drag on him. You meet a lot of republicans in the district who, they wont plan to vote for president ial nominee next time. They really dont want to endorse it here. Thats the problem for having district, i mean, for all the bing building that republicans have done. Theyve got a field for special elections. That is a really interesting point. I mean, i should note that the democrat in that race started the first time i saw his web site when he put it up was about brown bag. Hes been running the entire time more than trump. In georgia, youve got a very different dynamic in which trump is unpopular of the district even though its kind a republican district. To your point about what is the republican message in the era of trump. I think it gets it down here. Whats your attack. Whats the line of attack about why us republicans versus those bad democrats when you dont have barack obama or Hillary Clinton any more. They dont know yet. Ted cruz at this rally that i just came from referred to the obama economy and how it was Holding People back. And in April Barack Obama is not president and also trump talking about how great the economy is. Its not terribly coherent. Its beyond the fight and voted party and other factions. Theres not really a positive please send this back to washington. Especially because neil gorsuch is on the Supreme Court. People like cruz admit that is full of trump, but to catch the liberalism. By contrast, one thing thats been progressive excited about kansas, the Hillary Clinton they of the presidency is in places like georgia sixth district, or more educated voters. James thompson is trying to do is run a very Bernie Sanders populace working class message to a district that has been rejected in that voting of republicans and see if it works. The fact that theyre closed in this district is more exciting for democrats with the long term, if they can build here the way they built in the 70s and 80s places like oklahoma and nebraska, if they can have a winning message here that has better dividends for the long run. Rob quest who is a singer for the democrats thats going to be in six weeks, a very kind of recipe there, Bernie Sanders might be out campaigning with him. Thank you for being with us. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Still to come the shocking video of a man ripped from his set, dragged down the aisle of United Airlines flight. Well have the details coming up. Plus the return of the trump tug hand shake is tonights thing one, thing two, starting right after this break. Hey allergy muddlers are you one sneeze away from being voted out of the carpool . Try zyrtec® its starts working hard at hour one and works twice as hard when you take it again the next day. Stick with zyrtec® and muddle no more®. It is a very special thing and a very special happening. And its worth taking just a minute to remember what it all means. Thing 1 tonight, judge neil gorsuch is a Supreme Court justice. He took the oath twice today, the first privately administered at the Supreme Court itself. Publicly administered by Justice Kennedy in rose garden ceremony with President Trump proudly looking on. The last time well Justice Gorsuch were out in public together it ended with a yank and pull power play hand shake, so how did todays outing compare. Lets say the president hasnt lost his touch. Thats thing 2, in 60 seconds. President trumps signature hand shake and aggressive yank followed by a vigorous, often lengthy shake with multiple hand pats and extra tugs, has been suffered by many adignitary from the Prime Minister of japan who had to suffer an agonizing 18 seconds to trumps nominee for Supreme Court who was almost jerked off his feet with the president announced his candidate. Neil gorsuch was back in public with President Trump for the First Time Since that arm pulling incident. This time at his swearing ceremony and trump grabbed the opportunity for not one but two more shakes of his hand. The first was pretty mild by trump standards, a little bit of grab and pull, before fairly quick release. By the second, well he was back to trump, yanking him forward and gripping his hand enthusiastically and not letting go. Looking through the Public Record it last about 5 seconds. This morn the grab and yank and squeeze lasted nearly twice as long, thats just the data, full 10 seconds reach to release. Gorsuch can take k fact sitting member, it is highly unlikely the president will break unspoken protocol and get that grabbing with him in public again. Although, really, who the heck knows with that guy. Looking sharp len. Whos the lucky lady . Im going to the bank, to discuss a mortgage. Ugh, see, you need a loan, you put on a suit, you go crawling to the bank. This is how i dress to get a mortgage. I just go to lendingtree. I calculate how much home i can afford. I get multiple offers to compare side by side. And the best part is. The banks come crawling to me. Everything you need to get a better mortgage. Clothing optional. Lendingtree, when banks compete, you win. Okay . Awkward. Guy. Today an incident on today an incidented on over booked flight scheduled for chicagos airport to louisville on sunday. A passenger was dragged from his seat by security personnel from the Chicago Department of aviation. [ screaming ] hey. Come on. Come on. Come on. No, this is wrong. Oh, my god. Look at what you did to him. Oh, my god. Oh, my god. Good work, guys. Good work. Way to go. The airline had asked for four volunteers to make room for airline employees. When no one volunteered, four passengers were randomly chosen, the man in this video was one of the four. He was refused saying he was doctor and could not be delayed according to the man who shot this video. Shortly after being dragged off the man reboarded the plan and ran to the back. I have to go home. I have to go home. I have to go home. I have to go home. I have to go home. His face was bloodied and he appeared disoriented. The United Airlines ceo, this is an upsetting event to all of us here at united. I apologize for having to reaccommodate these customers. United reaccommodate these customers. Car the Chicago Department of aviation also released a statement saying the incident was not in correspondence with our standard operating procedures. That officer has been placed on leave effective today appending thorough review off the situation. Before that statement was released the chicago Police Department, which was not involved in the incident, released its own statement which reads in part, a 69yearold male Asian Airline passenger became irate. Aviation officers teemtd carry the individual of the flight when he fell. His head subsequently struck an armrest. The statement was based on information its officers gathered at the airport. And that the c pd subsequently referred all inquireries to the department of aviation. One of the most striking responses came from a conservative who wrote, your local Police Department is a much bigger threat to your personal liberty than the big, bad feds, and he joins me next. Hey allergy muddlers are you one sneeze away from being voted out of the carpool . Try zyrtec® its starts working hard at hour one and works twice as hard when you take it again the next day. Stick with zyrtec® and muddle no more®. Let your reign begin. Evony, the mobile game. Download now. Cant. [ screaming ] oh, my god no please, my god, what are you doing . Come on, got to go. This is wrong. Oh, my god, look at you you do to him. Joining me leon wolf. Leon, i thought what you tweeted was interesting. The series of tweets was actually directly in response to the incident in colorado with the young woman who got body slammed but it applies with equal force to the incident in chicago. If you look in reality what happened on that plane in united was a situation that we have all created and done to ourselves. For years we as americans have happily seated power to the airlines to take increasing levels of control over our freedom on airplanes to the point theyre totally immune from liability from almost anything they do, disobeying orders from flight staff is a federal crime and we conceded to that because we want to get where were going. And it applies to the same thing with what we saw in colorado and many other incidents. You and i talked about the thing in ferguson last year. Its disturbing. My response is thank god the guy didnt comply. If he had, we might but talking about this today and have an opportunity change whats going on. I looked at this and i thought to myself, man, first of all this tremendous amount much outrageous, its extremely upsetting. This is the kind of glimpse into the police force seen throughout the country. Its a real wake up call. Particularly communities of color, black and brown communities, most specifically. This is something that people grapple with all the time. As you pointed out. And heres 24ir7ks why are we constantly seeing videos where it goes from zero to assault every single time. As a Police Officer or Security Officer in this situation, you are a Public Servant number one. You are in the position where you should be decirculating a situation, not being the person thats the aggressor in this situation. I want to read this because now theres a letter. United seems to be choosing to play this in a shocking away, frankly. The situation was compounded when one of the passengers we politely asked to deplane refused and it became necessary to Contact Security stofrz help. I always emphatically stand behind all of you. I cannot imagine that they think the way they hanginged this was proper. No. My reaction to this initially was, well, i really hope some of the bad apples we saw some people get fired. After reading that statement which to me the most incredible part of the statement was where he said were curious as to why the guy deified chicago aviation that way. Its bizarre how a guy wouldnt want to be thrown off a plane he bought a ticket ffrmt its clearly a corporate cult that goes all the way to the top. We know united has had issues as of late. They were involved in pay to play with the Port Authority who was appointed by governor chris christie. They were actively involved in pay offs. So this is a culture issue within united. I can go on to several other examples beyond just that. I want to just say one more thing for anyone whos watching this across the political spectrum. Something will happen and the police will give their account of it. What i would just say is, always just imminent healthy skepticism. That chicago Police Department Statement Today which they put out after everyone has seen the video, which they put out even though its not their own police, saying that the thing you saw happen didnt happen. That is not an anomaly. We have dealt with this in our reporting. This guy fell. The chicago Police Department felt the need to say this guy fell after everyone who had seen the video tells you a lot about that department. Thank you both. That is all inn for this evening. Good evening, reich
