Drawing cheers from the crowd of some 50 people who had rushed to the scene of the arrest. The shocking footage comes as residents suffered through a fourth straight weekend of deadly gun violence in new york. And yet they cheer gang members rather than the police who are trying to maintain order in the streets and peace in the neighborhoods. The nypd reported there were 28 separate shootings over the weekend between friday and sunday. 35 victims in all. And street violence is far worse now than a year ago. A 600 jump from the same period last year. One of the murders over the weekend, a 1yearold boy killed in a park during a family cookout. No one has been arrested for the heinous crime. All of this taking place in a city where democrat leaders defunded the Police Department by a billion dollars and forced the nypd to disband its, are you ready for this . Its anticrime unit. Socialist mayor bill de blasio seems to take his citys residents for complete fools. He was asked about the spike in violence this morning, and once again he blamed it on the china virus. Safety comes from a bond between police and community. Thats what neighborhood policing has been about. And until the coronavirus, it was overwhelmingly successful. We have to fight back and become, once again, what we were. Lou there are not words to describe that man. Meanwhile, in chicago at least 64 people were shot this weekend. Eleven of them were killed. Five of the people shot were children. And on the west coast, a seattle area judge has approved a petition for an election to recall socialist mayor jenny durkan. Her incompetent handling of the c. H. O. P. Zone fiasco in seattles capitol hill neighborhood resulted in the death of children. The petition needs 50,000 signatures over the next six months to move ahead. And in portland, that city gripped by violent demonstrations and protests, riots and ugly vanned vandalism of all sorts for 40 days and nights. Thats right, 40 days and nights. Consecutively. Federal agents from the department of Homeland Security sent there to protect buildings including the federal courthouse in portland. According to the reporting of the seattle times, one of the groups involved in those protests and in those riots is the Pacific Northwest youth liberation front. Can you imagine such a name . The group has anonymous leaders and describes itself as anticapitalist and antifascist. They say their goal is to upend the u. S. Political system. Portlands democrat mayor is quite a beauty himself. Hes ted wheeler. He accuses the group of blatant criminal violence though. He got that right. But so far the mayor has done almost nothing to try to remove them. Instead, the genius defunded his Police Department by 15 million. President trump has clearly had enough of the lawlessness that is plaguing american cities, those run by democrat mayors and with Democrat City Councils and government. Today he called on democrat leaders to stop putting the lives of our Police Officers at risk in their communities. Our officers have been under vicious assault, and hundreds of police have been injured and several murdered. Reckless politicians have defamed our Law Enforcement heros as the enemy. They call them the enemy. They actually go and say theyre the enemy. And even call them an invading army. These radical politicians want to defund and abolish the police from our nation. Farleft mayors are escalating the anticop crusade, and Violent Crime is spiraling in their cities. Its all farleft cities where they have no understanding of what has to be done. They dont have a clue. Lou President Trump has vowed to protect the citizens of every city irrespective of who is in charge of it because those mayors are putting at risking every single day at risk every single day the citizens they are supposed to be serving but who they have abandoned in many instances altogether. The president threatening as well federal intervention in cities where those leaders have failed to act. The radical politicians are waging war on innocent americans. Thats what youre doing when you play with the police. Numbers are going to be coming down even if we have to come in and take over cities because we cant let that happen. When you have 20 People Killed, 22 People Killed in one weekend in chicago and you have 88 shootings, its not even conceivable. Thats worse than afghanistan, i hate to say it, worse than any war zone that were in by a lot. It makes them look like tame places by comparison. So were not going to let it go on. Lou the president obviously frustrated at the failure of any of these mayors to act responsibly. It is almost unimaginable that a mayor, irrespective of husband or her ideology his or her ideology, would leave innocent civilians and citizens vulnerable to the attacks of these vicious activists and anarchists in their communities. The president is saying very plainly that he is going to be there to protect these citizens irrespective of the wishes of these leftwing madmen and women who are running those cities. President trumps comments come at a round table discussion today with people affected positively by Law Enforcement. Earlier in the day President Trump talked with the National Association of police organizations. This coming after President Trump over the weekend rejected minnesotas request for federal funds to pay for the damage caused by the riots that followed George Floyds death. Ed lawrence with the details. Reporter yeah, the minnesota governor says that fema told him that the damage caused by the looting and the burning of both businesses in his state could be handled by the state. Now, thats the same mindset the governor used when the riots were actually taking place. President donald trump questioning that mindset today. Listen. Cities that are liberally run, i call them radical lip, and yet theyll go and march on areas and rip everything down in front of them. If thats what you want for a country, you probably have to vote for sleepy biden, because he doesnt know whats happening. But youre not going to have it with me. Reporter the president , on june 1st called some governors weak when dealing with violent protests and businesses being destroyed. Governor walz says he is looking for reimbursement in 15 million in damages from burning businesses. May 25th the protests started, the total damage to the state of minnesota was some 500 million mostly to min yap his and st. Paul. Minneapolis. Now, the argument for minnesota is that the coronavirus wiped out the anticipated 1. 5 billion surplus in the state leaving a 2. 4 billion hole in the budget. The denial comes a few days after minnesota representative tim emmer wrote the president saying the administration should undertake a thorough and concurrent review of my states response to the violence. Now, he also wants the federal government to offer recommendations to the governor to make sure that this level of violence never happens again. The minnesota governor has now 30 days to appeal that denial. Lou . Lou well, that governor isnt very, isnt any brighter than most of these democrat mayors around the country who are watching much of their cities burn, their streets fill with violence. Its incredible to even think these, that there would be such a sense of entitlement on the part of the left who has created, created the conditions for what we have witnessed in this country over the past almost two months. Ed lawrence, great to have you with us. That brings us to our poll question tonight. Should democratrun cities ask for federal help to control their violent streets . Should anybody answer in the affirmative . Thats actually the question, should democratic cities be able to get federal help when it has been in their control to stop the violence in their streets. So well rework that and try it again. Meanwhile, thats the question. Wed like to hear your answer. Cast your vote are on twitter loudobbstonight. Former special counsel robert mueller, hes remerged after a year after he came undone during his congressional testimony. In a Washington Post oped, mueller defended his twoyear investigation saying it is right that roger stone remains a convicted felon. The national leftwing media ignored the fact that muellers report found no collusion with anyone in the Trump Campaign, and all muellers team did was charge people with process crimes. They also ignored this lie by mueller. In his oped mueller said, quote by late 2016 the fbi had evidence that the russians had signaled to a Trump Campaign adviser that they could assist the campaign through the anonymous release of information damaging to the democratic candidate. Bull. According to the department of justices inspector general, michael horowitz, and his report that Campaign Adviser actually said this, quote the trump team had received some kind of suggestion from russia that it could assist the process with the anonymous release of information during the campaign that would be damaging to mrs. Clinton and mr. Obama. He was unclear whether he or the russians were referring to material acquired publicly or through other means. It is also highly suspect that that sentence has any meaning of any kind. Meanwhile, rino senator Lindsey Graham weighing in. He wants mueller to testify before the Senate Judiciary committee. You remember how well muellers testimony went when he was brought before congress. Whether that hearing will actually take place is anyones guess. Graham has been highly, lets say, i erraticking in what he says and what he actually does. On wall street stocks were mixed today.

Lou the Trump Administration is fighting as hard as it can the deep state here at home while the United States is taking an unprecedented stand against chinese aggression in the South China Sea. For the first time, the United States has formally reejected chinese rejected chinese territorial claims in the South China Sea region. Secretary of state mike pompeo said this, quote we are making clear beijings claims to offshore resources across most of the South China Sea are completely unlawful as it is, as is its campaign of bullying to control them. Beijing uses intimidation to undermine the sovereign rights of Southeast Asian coastal states in the South China Sea, bully them out of offshore resources, assert unilateral dominion and replace International Law with might makes right. The world will not allow beijing to treat the South China Sea as its maritime empire. Breaking news now, more than 200 universities are now backing harvard and mit in their lawsuit against the Trump Administrations new rule that requires foreign students to awe a tend in attend inperson classes. A brief was filed today by 59 schools that enroll 213,000 foreign students including each of the ivy league schools, stanford and duke. The judge expected to hear arguments tomorrow. If the judge does not suspend the rule, american colleges will have until wednesday to inform immigration and Customs Enforcement whether they will have inperson classes or will be online in the fall. Well, joining us tonight is larry elder, host of the harry elder show on the larry elder show on the salem radio network, hes also the producer of the documentary uncle tom. Great to have you with us, larry, and congratulations on the documentary, and i want to get to that. I want to ask you a couple of questions that flow from harvard and mit suing the government so that their students could take online classes here in the United States rather than at home. That would be, it seems to me, on its face incredibly inefficient, requiring people to fly here to be in the United States while they could be at home enjoying the efficiencies and the democracy of online education. [laughter] right. Well, i dont really know that much about that issue. I do know that the ivy leagues are in trouble for all sorts of reasons, not least of which that they have a quota system, although they deny it. And they are being sued because underrepresented students are getting in with much lower s. A. T. Scores than some of these asian kids, and its extremely unfair. Lou yeah, the ivy league has plenty of problems in that respect, as you suggest. Right. Lou meanwhile, the country has a huge problem that is fundamental to any discussion of race, and that is, of course, the violence on the streets incited by the radical democrats who lead most of these cities in fact, the 20 largest cities that are till going through still going through periods of violence. Your thoughts about how it is that the black lives matter, a marxist organization, is now winning the support of individual corporations who are funding them. Theyre doing so, by the way, through the Democratic Party. This is not a nonprofit organization. Right. Lou therefore, money is being given to the Democratic Party for which theyre getting, these donors are getting a tax exemption, reduction, and the money flows to an organization that isnt a nonprofit. Its, on its face again, its wrong. And possibly very much illegal. The sad thing about all of this, lou, of course is that this whole premise is a lie. Black lives matter is built on a lie. The lie is that the police are routinely mowing down black people because of racism. Its not like the government hasnt looked at this. Every since the mid 90s, every three years theres the Police Public contact survey, and they ask 60,000 Americans Last year did you have contact with the police. If the answers yes, they are followed up to find out if therapy mistreated physically or verbally. According to the cdc in the last 75 years, the rate at which police is have shot has declined 75 . And according to the Washington Post last year, lou, there were 9 unarmed black men shot and killed by the police, 15 unarmed blacks killed by the police altogether, about 23 whites. I defy your audience to name one unarmed white person killed by the police because the media does not care. 50 of the homicides in this country are black people the fact is that theres a real problem with homicide in the black community, a young black man is eight times to ten times more likely to be a victim of a homicide than a young white man. That is why the police is there. And this is getting People Killed, lou. Its one thing when the left has stupid ideas. Theyve got a lot of them. But this is causing the police to pull back, crime is going up in place froms like chicago, places like baltimore, and it causes young black men to confront officers unnecessarily because they have a belief taught by the democrats, by the media that the police are out to get them x. Why shouldnt they be reactive . Why shouldnt they fear that the police are going to do something to them . As a result, you have a heightened encounter but for the silly, false narrative thats getting People Killed. Lou the anger and the ignorance of the left in this country, particularly the radical dems, is just, it is breath talking. There is no breathtaking. There really is no historic
