Run by democrats. You have radical left democrats running cities like chicago and so many others that we just had a news conference. Unfortunately, thats the way it is. Thats the facts. When you look at chicago and you look at the job, mayor lightfoot sent me a letter yesterday. And i think in their own way, they want us to go in. There will be a time theyll want us to go in full blast. Right now were sending people in to help. Were arresting a lot of people that have been very bad as far as the cyrus, as you say, i think weve done some amazing things. And i think you will see that if you compare our statistics to other countries. If you look at death rates, if you look into the future. You will see some very, very impressive numbers for the United States. Do you plan to do a National Strategy to help schools reopen and reopen safely . Regarding the children in your family, your son, your grandchildren, are you comfortable . Do you plan to have them back in person, in school in. I am comfortable with that. And we do have a National Strategy. But as you know, ultimately, it is up to the governors of the states. Many governors want the schools to open. I would like to see the schools open. Especially when you see statistics like this. We have great statistics on young people and on safety. We would like to see schools open. We want to see the economy open. We had a report that we set an all time record on housing, price increases. I think they said up 21 . It has never happen before. We have an economy that will be booming. A lot of jobs are being produced. The jobs markets will be out shortly meaning over the next week or so and it will be a continuation of the last two months. I think well have a great economy. Youll have a fantastic next year. A very good Third Quarter, when the Third Quarter numbers come out. Interestingly, theyll be announced just before the election. Theyll be naunlsed around november first. I would like to see the schools open, open 100 . And well do it safely, carefuut at the statistics i just read, having to do with children and safety, theyre very impressive. They have very strong immune systems. You understand the children who go to school and go back home and many live with their grandparents. They dont transmit very easily, a lot of people say that. Were i had toing that very hard, that particular sub. That they dont bring it home with them. They dont catch it easily, they dont bring it home easily, and if they do catch it, they get better fast. Were looking temperature very strongly. Well be reporting about that over the next week. At least three governors came out with new requirements on masks. A lot of the governors they have different requirements. Some of the governors are very strong on masks. Others are not. I think it will ultimately be up to them. Weve given them everything we know. Some are strong on masks and some arent, in the same ballpark. I think all are suggesting if you want to wear a mask, you wear it. I bring one, i wear it. When im in certain settings like hospitals, or when im close. I believe in it, do i in i do. In certain instances, i think you want to travel with a mask. There are instances when you use it. I believe it would be a good thing. Did you see mayor bowser came up, it doesnt apply to federal properties but would you encourage federal properties including the white house complex to follow the order . Were going to make a decision over the next 24 hours. Well let you know what that decision is. Thank you. President trump, do you agree with Senate Republicans discussing the possibility of extending short term Unemployment Insurance today . So that they prevent benefits from expiring . I think a lot of politicians are discussing that republicans, democrats, and right now, a lot of my representatives are on the hill. Theyre discussing the cares act or phase four, whatever you want to callett. I think ultimately, something good will come out of it. The economy is starting to really come down strongly when you look at the numbers. Even with the fact that like california is still closed up and many big states. I think the numbers are even more impressive considering some states like california, big ones, are pretty well shut down. So we expect something over the appropriate period of time. These two questions are with andrew fineberg. You said youre sending federal Law Enforcement officers to run cities run by extreme politicians. Thats the word you used, who happen to be all democrats, who supported black lives matter protests. I didnt support them. I said democrat politicians. These are the cities with the problems. Chicago, detroit, any of the cities where we have the problems. And were sending them help but were really waiting for them to call for the big help, the big numbers, for the large numbers of people that we have ready, willing and able. You look at chicago where 14 people were shot yesterday. Where over the weekend, many people died and many people were shot. And over the last month, theyre setting record numbers. We are waiting for the mayor, respect any, and other mayors, and governors to call us. We are ready, willing and able nothing there with great force. Now, we also have people going in and arresting drug dealers, arresting the shooters, we know who they are. Were working Police Forces. Even though theyre told dont work the federal government, the Police Forces have Great Respect for the federal government with what we do. But were ready, willing and able to go into these cities just being decimated with shooting. And were going to help. Please. I have a question on crime. But first, i dont think we really got an explanation yesterday on why the Health Experts are no longer joining you at these briefings. Can you explain why . Because theyre briefing me. Im meeting them. I just spoke to dr. Fauci, dr. Birx is right outside. And theyre giving me everything they know as of this point in time and im giving the information to you and i think it is probably a very concise way of doing it. It seems to be working out very well. Theyre very much involved. The relationships are all very good. All very good. The relationships that we have with the doctors, with everybody working on the virus has been, i think, extraordinary. Kailey is here. You work with them all the time. In 2016 you said it was president obamas fall that homicides are up in chicago. So why was at this time president s fault then but not your fault now . Chicago is a disaster. The mayor is saying dont come in. The mayor is telling us not to come in. At some point we can void that if we have to and we may have to. It is out of control. I assume shes saying it for political reasons. I think it is negative reasons. Shes a democrat. Ill be nice. Shes a democrat. People are dying in chicago and other cities, and we can solve the problem. They have to ask us but we can solve the problem. Why was it obamas fault in 2016 . Because president obama was invited in and he did a poor job. President obama could have gone into chicago and solved the problem and he didnt. In our case, they dont want us in. We can solve it right away. Were equipped with the best people. You see, portland was coming down. It was busting at the seams and we went in and protected the federal buildings. Theyre totally protected. And portland is a very different place than chicago. But chicago should be calling us and so should philadelphia and detroit and others to go in and really help them. When youre losing many people a weekend, many,le people. You see the same numbers. They should call us and say, come on in. And it is incredible to me but theyre not doing it. At some point they will. At some point we may have no choice but to go in. Are you looking at closing further chinese embassies in the United States in did you ask ambassador Woody Johnson to bring no. I never to to Woody Johnson about turnbury. It is a highly respected course, one of the best in the world. I read a story about it today. I never spoke to him about it. As far as closing additional embassies, it is always possible. We thought there was a fire in the one that we did close. Everybody that, there is a fire, there is a fire. They were burning payments. Would you like to respond to joe biden who today described you, you might have heard that, as the first racist to be elected president in those are his words. Its interesting. We did criminal justice reform. We passed criminal justice reform. Something obama and biden were unable to do. We did opportunity cities. We did the greatest, if you look at opportunity zones, nobody has ever even thought of a plan like that. Prior to the china plague coming in, floating in, coming into our country and really doing terrible things all over the world, we had the best africanamerican, hispanic american, asianamerican, almost every group was the best for unemployment. The unemployment numbers were the best. So you look at employment, opportunity zones, and maybe most importantly, you look at criminal justice reform. Prison reform. Ive done things that nobody else. And ive said this. I say it openly and not a lot of people dispute it. Ive done more for black americans than anybody with the possible exception of abraham lincoln. Nobody has even been close. Thank you very much, everybody. Was a little shorter than yesterday. A little less than 30 minutes and no Health Officials with the president. The president was asked about that today and he said, he gets his briefings and he is presenting what he is getting to the public. I would say today when it came to the facts on the virus, it was more of the president cherry picking things. There were some outright false hoods but some of the other things were cherry picked. The most notable, the outright was saying that children do not transmit very easily. First of all, the president doesnt define what children is. Theres a study that children younger than 10 transmit much less than adults do. The number is not zero. The problem is children ages 10 to 19 they can spread it at least as well as adults do. So this is a real serious issue for middle and high school and there is a complete gloss over there and sort of a nonacknowledgement on that. When pressed you heard a little of it. Let me bring in my guests. And one of our medical contributors. Let me start with the virus experts first. Perhaps the most news worthy, the president said in the next 24 hours theyll decide if the government will abide by the local ordinance about mandating masks. The fact that he said theyre thinking probably shows you at least on the mask front, the president has turned a corner. What did you hear today from the president that you thought was helpful or concerning or both . Thanks. Certainly it is helpful that hes at least acknowledging the importance of masks, hand hygiene, social distancing. What is still concerning, it is still couched in pretty harmful language. China plague. On statistic, hes been talking about the United States doing well with what can he call the case fatality rate. Thats a finer point on epidemiology that doesnt give you a cure picture of the virus. Then focusing on the elder and senior population, certainly a large number of cases and fatalities are coming from Long Term Care facilities. But were also seeing fatalities in all the other age groups that are much higher than any other disease or candidly, much higher than would you speck with any other Infectious Disease. And then the third final point that i think was troubling was just his i think statistics need to reflect the truthful thats what statistics and science does. When we try to make them seem rosier than they are, were not giving the public an accurate picture. So we do have declining cases in states. But as you reported on earlier, we have california, parts of california, arizona with 25 positivity rate, tennessee with an upswing. And the reason mayor bows her to put in that mask ordinance, were seeing an increase in the district. We need to have more truthful unfortunately, i didnt hear some of that into the president s comments today. I guess another thing i would like you to cover. It was something prepared for him. He was reading it. He was talking about, they gave an smangs for this current spike. He spent a long period of time at the protests. Then said it was memorial day. Then said it was increased travel. Weve seen a lot of other studies that have indicated that there isnt a lot of evidence that the protests were a part of this. In some cases, you can say it all contributed. What is the Fair Assessment here as far as the Scientific Community is concerned . Yeah. So we only have about a 2 Contact Tracing level in most states. So it is woefully behind. Where we have done Contact Tracing, we have seen it is from these congregate settings, bars, restaurants, household gatherings, churches, houses of worship where they have the lack of social distancing, et cetera. We now have enough data from Contact Tracing around the country. Thats not to say that people should go out and have a large outdoor event because they havent heard about a case read that from a large outdoor event. We know thats exactly how were spreading. We are seeing Community Spread from all types of people. Young to old, old to young, to put it in one population, demographic, it is just giving americans kind of a false sense of what the actual state of the virus is. Thats why this was slightly harder to fact check with him. Hes cherry picking statistics. Yeah, it doesnt quite tell the story. Carol, first, i think it is worth noting that he had a complete contradiction. He said we also have the border and mexico. The implication, boy, mexico, theyre being hit hard. Not as hard as we are. But i built this wall and its not coming over. So we can set that, his own rhetorical contradiction aside which also shows that you there is really no truth to that aspect of things. What else did you hear today . A couple things. I think compared to yesterday, he sounded far more upbeat in terms of where his emphasis was. He obviously opened by focusing on the vaccine and therapeutics and leaned in. Theyre talking about light at the end of the opportunity. And his answer on schools is probably one of the most important things that em. Just because hes saying, this idea that kids dont transmit the virus very easily. Thats not proven. And it is sort of similar to what we heard from the president when he was pushing for states to open generally. He said protests and memorial day in terms of why the virus is spiking. But states opened too quickly which was something he pushed. So it was a little more, yesterday we heard, this is going to get worse before it gets better. This was a little more back to where the president has been in terms of emphasizing it. He took questions on issues that were not coronavirusrelated and seemed far more willing to mix it up politically a little bit. Thats the final point i want to get to jonathan about. Where there was an outright total literally, he said the sun is in the east and the setting in the west moment, when he skriblds the situation in portland or in chicago. For People Living in portland and chicago, they dont see the city that he portrays. Thats where the president took the most liberty with the truth today, was in his descriptions of the current state of the cities, jonathan. No question. It is all about the politics. He is painting a bleak and dire picture of these cities. Trying to portray these cities as lawless. To try to send a signal to suburban voters or senior voters who might be unnerved by the descriptions that hes providing. And might want to choose a law and order candidate which would be president trump. We know were not going to praise him for a change in tone. It is only a matter of time before he changes it back. He did stick to his talking points more than he usually does and he clearly wanted to hit a few. They werent just about the virus. What carol said is correct. He did seem more upbeat. He also stressed the financial recovery. Although it is certainly fragile with these cases surging, his advisers say the president wont have a chance at reelection if the economy doesnt improve. So of course he wanted to stress that with the eyes of the nation upon him. For what its worth, there felt more like a political event to improve his political standing than a General Information event for the general public. We need to give ari his show. Thank you. Thank you for working overtime for us. Thats all we have here for a little bit of this overtime edition of meet the press daily. Hey, the beat begins right now. Take it away. Yes, sir. Well be having some of this special coverage as this continues. Good to see you. I want to welcome you to the beat. Were going to bring in our expert medical guests on tip this special coverage. Let me give you some of the facts the United States has over 3. 8 million virus cases and 143,000 deaths. The death toll in america that is surpassing now more than 1,000 People Per Day on tuesday. A grim milestone, to be sure. And i think the first time that it has gotten back that far since late may. There were 2,000 probable deaths that had happened previously. All of this following the rise in confirmed cases while scientists note the mortality rates temperaturally follow the case increases by two weeks. Later, the president gave this second covid briefing of the week after a threemonth hiatus away from this. As mentioned, the president gave his explanation for this. Members of the medical task force were not in physical attendance in the room. So you have two days where the president is using this valuable time to give the updates. He smanlds he said that he is doing a concise presentation of what the medical experts say but of course it is a departure from what the administration used to have, off the some of the medical experts say it themselves. All of this comes as a clash. Sometimes it appeared to be barbs or disagreement with the very famous dr. Anthony fauci. One other point before we go to the experts which was also a change. Listen to donald trump today during the briefing about masks. I think all are suggesting if you want to wear a mask, you wear it. I have one. When im in certain settings like hospitals, or when im close, when you cant socially distance, i believe in it. Lets see, do i . I do. I have it. And in certain instances, i think you really, i think you want to travel with a mask. As for dr. Fauci, he is giving this warning. I dont see this disappearing the way sars one did. The reason i say that, it is so efficient in its ability to transmit from human to human that i think we ultimately will get control of it. I dont really see us eradicating it. Those are the words from the doctor and the president. And lets get right to it. You served as an adviser to president obama. She helped shame some of the response to the ebola epidemic and the author of the optimists telescope. Were rejoined by our Infectious Disease physician, the university of boston. Your thoughts medically with what we heard from the briefing as well as our worsening numbers. One thing i wish the president had done, yesterday he talked about, this will get worse before it gets better. I would like for him to stress why that is. It is important for americans to hear that. The second thing is what will happen between now and when were seeing this wave come upon us . For the nation to prepare . So just to go into why were seeing the numbers get worse. Let me put it into context. We hit same peak for hospitalizations as we did in the northeast during the worst months of the epidemic. What does this mean . During that peak, most of our states are closed down weeks before we hit the hospitalization peaks. The current affected state has not. That means were expecting it to at least plateau and an increase in death rates even if it is lower case fatality rates. The other is the fire in those initial sunbelt states is now spilling over the states around them. Youre seeing georgia, north carolina, other states being affected by it. This means it is spreading. If no state is fire proof, we are all dependent on the supply chains, personal protective equipment, same testing infrastructure. You might have seen that they cant keep up. We need solutions. And all of this is happening before the fall which is when were expecting this potential traditional flu season and coronavirus season. When someone comes in with a respiratory infection, we need to see the tests. It doesnt matter if it ends up being influenza or coronavirus. So this need will expand nationally if were not able to control the courage regional fires. How do we do it in the fall . Thats what i want the president to tell us. This is clearly a case where we need a strong president in the white house. We need a strong response. You heard the president during the presser talk about deferring to the states on decision making. Leading it to the tats to issue mask advisories, leaving it up to the states to make decisions about School Reopening. And i think in an irresponsible way, heaving those decisions up to governors discretion. We warm state leaders to have some. To jump in, youre referencing some of what we heard. Lets may the president on the School Reopening and then continue your analysis so folks can follow along. I would like to see the schools open. Specially when you see statistics like this. We have great statistics on young people and on safety. So we would like to see schools open. We want to see the economy open. I think in this instance, you would have government scientists, like the director of the cdc or dr. Anthony fauci providing scientific guidance to provide to states about school openings. One of the things that s p the president has been so unreliable on the science. Whether touting hydroxychloroquine or equivocating about Wearing Masks or whether states should reopen. Even if certain states and certain schools might be able to reopen, might decide that the risk reward ratio of reopening goes in favor of trying to reopen the schools this fall, i think you would have regular briefings from government scientists. The president has inverted this. Not only is he leaving those scientists out of the room, out of the briefings, but theyre not giving independent briefings where they can just report on the state of the science. Im so glad you hit on that. In our reporting, in full fairness, we want people to understand what the president is saying. He is putting forth the rationale here. The reason the experts arent in the room. He will do his presentation as president. And there are other examples, nonmedical, that you can point to like civilian controlled military. Where a president says, yes, the military thinks this. Im overseeing it and ill tell you the plans. The difference is what you just said. We still have a system where the military testifies you said oath, provides information to the public, and on those life and death decisions, the president can weigh all the evidence. What does it mean for citizens at this point that he says hell go forward with this format but with very little access or lesser access to those experts . I think it highly confusing to the public. We did hear him say when asked about where he recommends wearing a mask, give a confusing, murky anxious saying some governors are recommending it. He believes in it. He thinks he believes in it. It is up clear. The least he could do with that bully pulpit is to offer clear information about what kinds of actions are advised on the part of the american public. That is a role the president can play. In fairments, he was packing one. We went months where he was even more confused. He was the lone ranger and now hes packing one into the room. Sure. It is a low bar to praise him for that given that there have been republican governors all around the country Wearing Masks. All kinds of leaders, Wearing Masks, for thats now. So for the president of the United States, the leader of the world, to finally take a mask out, i think, yes. Hurry. We can say thats a good thing. How low a bar would you say . Limbo level in. How low can you go . Lets be trivialize that the president still has support from 38 of the public and so if he can signal that it is important to wear a mask, if he can do so more strongly, that would be in the interests of public health. We hope hell tip to do better on these fronts. Of course we heard that he went into a hotel that required masks, his own hotel, not wearing a mask. So whats troubling is the messaging is not clear. In thinking ahead, as you mentioned, im hook to how it might affect and compromise the ability to get large swaths of the population to take a vaccine. If were lucky enough to have an effective vaccine against covid19, that confers immunity that is safe and effective, people need to be willing to take that. Right. I have to fit in a break. We have so much news coming out. Your final thought there . I just hope that scientists and others do as much as they can getting the vaccine to communicate to the public the risks, the Safety Measures that have been taken in clinical trials, to really couldnt 58 the importance of taking vaccines. A fitting final thought there. Thank you. I really appreciate you coming on the show. I home youll come back. Unfortunately often with tough news. Let me tell viewers whats coming up. Weve had a lot of breaking news. Donald trump and bill barr have a new plan. They want to send more federal agents to federal cities. We have scrutiny on what many are calling abuse of power.

The Trump Administration announcing an expansion of what is already a very controversial deploil of federal agents into cities across america. Were looking at two more cities beyond portland. This all comes as tensions have escalated. Officers using tear gas, stun grenell aids just overnight from tuesday. Mayors around the country warning donald trump to step back from this escalation. Here is the president today. The effort to shut down policing in their own communities has led to a shocking explosion of killings, murders, heinous crimes of violence. This blood shed must end. It will end today. Im announcing a surge of federal Law Enforcement into American Communities plagued by violent crime. That was a formal announcement. The attorney general joining the president. Unlike in portland where officers have been facing down protesters, donald trump says the new effort is aimed at curbing gun violence. That is, it is separate from black lives matter protests. All of this raises questions about what is true and what the goals are. There was a separate doj operation already underway in kansas city, and thats a place where there was a request for federal help to deal with crime and violence. The Kansas City Star has reported activists remain skeptical. The first arrest has nothing to do with the shooting. It was of a man suspected of driving over an officers foot but he was then found to have firearms in his car. Thats one incident. The larger context is as one officer put it on the beat recently, activists protesting Police Brutality are being met with Police Brutality. Officers will head to albuquerque and chicago where there has been a surge in gun violence. Theres already, warning, Donald Trumps troops will not be allowed to, quote, terrorize our residents. There is also swirling questions about what already happened there and that has been publicly documented. The use of unmarked vehicles to take people into custody. The Oregon Attorney general was in rt could today seeking, and this is pretty striking, seeking that a judge would stop these a none must federal agents from detaining people in that state. Thats on the law. On the politics, democrats are saying donald trump is trying to create and manufacture a crisis to help his struggling reelection campaign. Those are all the facts. Now we bring in our legal experts and nyu law professor. Good evening to you. Hi, ari. As you know, the doj has plenty of powers, and what was described on paper today absent everything that is happening could look like a normal operation. I outline the evidence for scepticism. Walk us through your view. I think theres strong evidence for skept civil. Youre right. Often Law Enforcement will solicit the assistance of the federal government, through the fbi or the atf or what not. This seems to be more unilateral and incredibly politicized and attached to the president s interests in quote unquote promoting law and order. So i think it is a fair case to make that this might be pretextual but rather dealing with or appearing to deal with the issue of monuments, protests, and suppressing free speech in those democratically elected cities. What could you read into where this is headed in. Again. They are led primarily by democratic,. Two, kansas city and chicago, are led by africanamerican mayors. The president has been not entirely veiled with his discussion of thugs and with thatory weaponry being used. This is part of a larger issue of trying to link this question of law and order and the politics of the black lives Matter Movement. Right. And this is heavy stuff. Because we are again, were talking about a movement that grew out of the protests of Police Brutality, of basically, the excessive or deliberate misuse of forceful now you have the federal government not just having a political debate, but misusing federal resources so it is very serious. I think it is interesting to see republicans out of office really push back. And they have security credentials. Many remember tom ridge, a republican governor, also served with george w. Bush for homeland security. So he is the guy everyone went to keep everyone safe. And he says this doesnt pass any kind of test and going farther than that. A cold day in hell before i would consent to a unilateral, uninvited intervention in one of my cities. Professor, i give you the final word. Thats exactly right. Typically, when federal Law Enforcement works with Law Enforcement at the local level, it is a mutually amenable arrangeme arrangement. This is the federal government unilaterally stepping in. If you want to play politics with this, this idea of federal oversight of local Law Enforcement is completely an athletic cal to a traditional conservative watch word. Federalism. The idea is that they have their ability to handle their own problems internally without resorting to the federal government unless they want that oversight. Professor, im old enough to remember in law school when they teach you it is a traditionally conservative value to defer to local authorities. Again, thats the point. The idea of sending in the federal government unilaterally would be for many who consider themselves conservatives or libertarians, the kind of tyrannical intervention that the constitution would pro had i been, certainly frown upon. We always end a little more informed, professor murray. I appreciate you giving us time in your class tonight. Thanks so much. Thank you. Now, its not all gloom and doom. This is some political news that a lot of people in the Democratic Party have been waiting for. Obama obama back on the campaign trail just like the famous internet meme, reunited and it feels so good. That celebrates when people happily reunited, just like peaches and herb. Keep an eye out. Your kids may sends it to you. Im bringing it up because of a new obamabiden video going viral. You see it there. An intriguing shots of the two teammates back together in person, while following distancing guidelines, as they discuss trumps approach and social distancing. Many others are concerned about a president who disclaimed responsibility on the job and sometimes shows very little empathy for the people suffering and dying. Right here tonight, an excerpt from the Biden Campaign to tout obamas support. Can you imagine a president standing up saying, its not my responsibility . I take no responsibility . Literally. Those words didnt come out of our mouths while we were in office. I dont understand his inability to get a sense of what people are going through. He just cant relate in any way. And one of the things that i have always known about you, joe, the reason why i wanted you to be my Vice President and the reason why you were so effective. It all starts with being able to relate. If you can sit down with a family and see your own family in them. The struggles that youve gone through, your parents went through, your kids are going through. If you can connection those struggles. Then youll work hard for they will. And that has motivated to you get into Public Service. You see the arguments there between two men who worked together. Biden obviously pursuing his old bosss old job. And you saw the headline. Streaming soon. People are would understandering, what does this Virtual Campaign look like . Well, well see more and more of how theyre trying to capture attention and hearts and minds online during this pandemic campaign. Were going to fit in a break. When we come back, something i have been excitedly telling you about as soon as we got the ball. My special legal report on understanding what donald trump is up to when he calls for law and order and why there are signs some of this might back fire. Signs some of this might back fire this is my body of proof. Proof i can fight moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. Proof i can fight psoriatic arthritis. With humira. Proof of less joint pain. And clearer skin in psa. Humira targets and blocks a source of inflammation that contributes to joint pain and irreversible damage. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections.

Welcome back. Today the Trump Administration is clearly ratcheting up the deploil of the feds to portland and other cities, chicago albuquerque. Federal officials were already in kansas city. That operation was initially welcomed by local officials. In a doj announcement today, building on this effort by trump to combat the spiking coronavirus and sinking polls, we have to widen out and see whats happening. Donald trump is using an old playbook u touting law and order but in our special report right now, im going to show you why there are signs that may make it work like it has in the past. Some of trumps media allies are reenforcing with headlines like this one presenting a clash of law and order. Versus anarchy. As Trump Officials rebrand protests and marches as hallmarks of a lawless society. These violent anarchists and extremists were violent well before ths surged assets into portland. We got intelligence about planned attacks on federal facilities where we backed up the federal protective service. Theyre willfully koo coordinating, organizing and planning to attack and destroy federal property and harm federal agents and auofficers. Those are criminals. Thats who were talking about, why were there and were not going anywhere. Thats the claim from your current federal government. Here are the facts. The feds have Broad Authority to patrol federal property and defend themselves, but number one, local authorities and independent reports say most of these recent protests have been peaceful. And number two, in that crucial area of portland, it is actually the city and the local police asking the feds to stay out. Now all of that is about government policy. On the politics, which is suf fusing much of this, donald trump is hit iting the same message. Falsely stating that his opponent would defund the police entirely. That a earned a now infamous live fact check in that much watched fox news interview. Biden wants defund sir, he does not. Look, he signed a charter with bernie sanders. I will get that one just like i was right on the mortality rate. Did you read the chart says nothing about defunding. It said nothing about defunding the police. If you watch ed that whole interview. The news anchor goes on to fact check and site the underlying document that the miss characterized. I say this to you because as we report to you so you can make up your mind, you need to know the facts. Keep those facts in mind as you watch donald trump still repeat this misleading claim in new tv ads that basically feature that lie and also depict a world with no police left. Not even in any 911 operators. Hello. Youve reached 911. Im sorry that there is no one here to answer your emergency call. But leave a message and well get back to you as soon as we can. Im donald j. Trump and i approve this message. This message matters because just as in the 1960s when there were clashes over demands for civil rights and conservative concerns over protecting the police and anarchy and law and order, trump doesnt think hes on defense here. Hes lean ng and betting on these issues. In fact, out of all the campaign ads this month, over 64 of Trumps Campaign ad spending was on ads about the police. 20 million according to the new york times. All of this picks up right where his first 2016 ad began. Envo invoking powers to combat crime. The politicians can predict something else, but donald trump calls it radical islamic terrorism. Thats why hes calling for a temporary shutdown of muslims entering the United States until we can figure out whats going on. Now let me be clear with you. We have the evidence and it shows this is not justry. Plagiarism. Just like make America Great again was stolen from the reagan campaign, swiping the exact words nixon used to revive his career amidst civil rights protests. Nixon tried to appeal to the quote, forgotten americans who he touted as the nonprotesting, nonracist, silent majority seeking law and order. The biggest victims of the rioting are peace loving sit senns in our poorest communities. The forgotten americans, the non shouters, the non demonstrators. Republicans are the party of liberty, equality and justice for all. We are the party of law u and order to those who say that law and order iscode word for racism, o goal is justice for americans. We are ending the riots and lawlessness that has spread throughout our country. We will end it now. Time is running out for the merchants of crime in american society. The wave of crime is not going to be the wave of the future. Take it in. This history runs deeper than simple words like crime or law. Most people support equal law and oppose crime in general. A harder questions termed whats really going on. What happens when you apply those words and policies with your eye on true equality, justice and fairness and whether only some crime is actually pursued. In fact, nixon infamously came to embody hypocrisy as a president who ran, you just saw on law and order, but was found to break the law. Meanwhile, the documentary, dock men tear yan, has also scrutinized what then was meant by the focus on crime. The war on crime, but that was one of those code words what we might call dog whistle politics now, which is really referring to the black political movements of the day. Black power, black panther, which nixon felt compelled to fight back against. Thinly vailed racial appeals. By talking about crime, law and order or the chaos of our u urban cities unleashed by the civil rights movement. Now that there is expertised on the history, but i want to share with you tonight is backed by some of the very people involved. A Top Republican nixon aide later admitted recounted how the Nixon Campaign had two enemies. The antiwar left and black people, by getting people to associate and criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities, end quote. That confession there is deep. A nixon aide admitting one, the political plan was to mobilize their side by going after their opponents on the left and in the black community and then turning government powers to dial up the drug war to arrest and jail. Now thats plenty. But heres part two of that confession. Did we know we were lying about the drugs, he asked, of course we did. A government abusing law and order to get power while cla claiming its the guardian of law and order. Well, you can see the echoes here. Tonight, many mayors and trump critics argue thats exactly what his administration is doing now, but when it comes to voters, its still an open question as to whether these tactics will work as they have in the past. Heres why. Right now, the surging support for the black lives Matter Movement has skyrocketed in the wake of these protests since George Floyds killing. The percentage of voters, also, who now think black americans face discrimination, from 2008 to 2020, has doubled. Americans now say they see systemic racism in a new way. And this brings us of course back to the protests, back to the thing that according to these mayors and critic, donald trump is trying to squelch. Heres how al sharpton put it at the floyd funeral. Discussing what the law means and why it needs equality. What happened to floyd happens every day in this country and education, in Health Services and in every area of american life. Its time for us to stand up in georges name and say get your knee off our necks. Those were powerful words in that room. Thats whey they bear repeating. I dont have a lot to add to that and the support we just showed you rising suggests that americans presented with this said yes. Of course. Get the knee off the necks of innocent people. And yet tonight were reporting on new federal agents being sent out for reasons that mayors and others have said are not proper. Thats the context and why were staying on this story. Now i always thank you for watching. We have one more quick Public Service announcement which is my friend and colleague joins me tonight live on instagram. Were going to do a live video, 9 00 p. M. Eastern tonight, talking National Politics and his international expertise. If youre online, go to ari melbourne 9 at 9 00 eastern. Joy reid is up next. 9 at 9 00 e. Joy reid is up next. This is what abject failure looks like as reinterpreted by donald trump and his people. We have it totally under control. We have contained this. I think weve done a great job. We are doing better and more than any other president could have done. This is a Great Success story. We have prevailed
