Cases in the u. S. To pass in new york. Cemeteries overflowing and hospitals running out of space desperation in bolivia as the government wants a virus will reach its peak only in or. So hes been criticized for his response to the worsening coronavirus pandemic and to the demands for Racial Justice following george fords death going just over 3 months to go before the president ial election donald trump is taking action and talking tough on 2 other fronts as administration has ordered chinas houston consulate to be shut down in the latest move against beijing and in the past few hours the president has announced that hundreds of federal Law Enforcement officers will be sent to the cities of chicago and albuquerque to combat what he calls rising crime state governors and city officials all democrats say this is a political stunt mike hanna as its. The concern about federal involvement was sparked by scenes like this from Portland Oregon to weeks of anti racism protests federal troops in unmarked uniforms moved in confronting demonstrators and detaining them in unmarked vehicles much to the end of the states governor this is a democracy not a dictatorship and we cannot have secret police abducting people into and putting them in unmarked vehicles. I cannot believe i have to say that to the president of the United States now the president has announced his intention of sending federal offices to several other cities today im announcing a surge of federal Law Enforcement into American Communities plagued by Violent Crime will work every single day to restore Public Safety protect our nations children and bring violent perpetrators to justice for months President Trump has regularly tweeted law and order in capitals and this decision is regarded by many as a Campaign Ploy in an Election Year. The political nature of his gambit underlined by the fact that hes talked at in cities run by Democratic Party mayors we dont need federal agents without any insignia taking people off the street in a holding down i think unlawful thats not what. The mayors of several major cities have sent this letter to the attorney general blasting the proposed deployment the letter reads in part these are tactics we expect from authoritarian regimes not our democracy that has been an especially violent summer atlanta has seen a 300 percent spike in shooting victims compared to the same week in july last year in new york city over the past week shooting victims are up more than 200 percent. Mounting frustration during this pandemic and widespread anger at police has led to what many view as a perfect storm of increased violence that federal involvement could intensify rather than fickle mike hanna aljazeera Washington Well philadelphias top prosecutor has warned that federal agents will Face Criminal Charges if they on lawfully assault or arrest anybody in the city if they choose to follow the law then we all get along famously and if they choose not to follow the law then they will discover that there are laws in the commonwealth of pennsylvania that can be used to prosecute. It is certainly my hope that their behavior will be entirely legal but based on what i saw in portland it is my opinion that some of their behavior looks like criminal conduct. All right well lets take this only to speak not to their plumber whos a democratic strategist 2 served in both the Obama Administration and on the president ial campaign for me a sector state john kerry joins us live from washington d. C. But there are probably. The president says he has no other choice other than to do this to deploy this as he puts it in federal troops there and just the election nearing maneuver firstly thank you for having me listen i have to say then what weve seen from this president is not real leadership we have not seen from him someone who has even to lead this country musi toward better angels and i would have to argue that what were seeing right now and his quote of the law and order strategy is really nothing but an Election Year ploy to directed at democratic cities to try to demonstrate it is they said he is the quote law and order president if you recall 4 years ago he said i alone to fix the problems plaguing america and what weve seen out of this president is higher unemployment weve seen him again many other western countries have been able to handle a completely go off the rails we see now i just pointed 1000 americans die as a result of the pandemic were seeing economic calamity were seeing unrest in the streets and were also seeing a president that has absolutely no clue as to whats happening in cities and has absolutely no plan in order to 16 of these issues he said the federal troops into chicago and it looks like chicago despite what you say actually some help doesnt it because its experiencing this uptick in gun violence dozens of being shot daily 60 shot and 12 killed over the weekend those that need help. What i would argue is that what were seeing it with state local governments is that they need resources from the federal government weve seen from this administration weve seen from republicans in congress an unwillingness to actually give the states and localities the resources that they need to actually handle the issues that they are addressing and we also recognize the constant context in which we are actually seeing all these things happen again you have people who have been at home who are now calling home more than 4 months because then adequacy of this ministration we are seeing unemployment levels greater than we saw in the 1930 s. Around the Great Depression and so yes there are issues for sure that are happening but again what weve not seen is a real strategy to address these issues and we have all have a responsibility to make sure their democracy is working President Trump is doing in those who support him like our attorney general is with flouting the loss of our country and i really think making situations worse especially what were here in chicago. Does want to confrontation for that will key into his base well into his strategy will work in that sense. Whats whats really interesting is that there are a number of holes and shown that. Trump was actually losing on this cortical law and order strategy so a. B. C. News Washington Post poll recently biden has a 9 point lead over trump when it comes to issues of security and law and order Kaiser Family foundation has a template lead by over trump the one percent to 44 percent when it comes down to the issues of safety and crime so poll of the close are showing that trial actually does not have a winning hand when it comes to this and give i think what people are seeing is that the emperor has no clothes again though your leadership on crime and safety issues they are leadership on Economic Issues though your leadership on the public see the Public Health issues are very clear and as we get closer to the elections i think thats just going to really exacerbate conceal for the president their public just great to get your analysis appreciate that thanks a lot thanks for having me.
