Independents, 202 7488002. You get sinister thoughts on social media and on twitter. We are on facebook. The New York Times calls last night event of malay. Thousands of people already packed and music blaring to warm up the crowd, Donald J Trump canceled his event friday night over security concerns of protesters clashed with his supporters inside an arena where he was to speak. Minutes after mr. Trump wouldve taken his podium at a Large Public University west of downtown, they suddenly pronounced event over before it began. Hundreds of protesters who have and promised a presence filled several sections of the arena went out in and on stopping cheer. Supporters, many of whom waited hours to see the republican frontrunner or stone and solely filed out in anger. Around the country protesters have interrupted virtually every truck rally trump rally in the city for decades run by democrats and equal third of blacks, latinos and whites. The rally came on a day that mr. Trump sought to move past the primary fight, saying the party needed to come together behind him. The Washington Post is little more history on some of the events that occurred yesterday before the rally in chicago. He appeared at the Peabody Opera House in st. Louis according to the Washington Post. Protesters there also interrupted him eight times, prompting catcalls and chance in the crowd as Security Officers removed them. Inr were injured or arrested clashes between supporters and critics outside the venue where thousands gathered in an overflow area to listen to the event over about speakers. Trump is known for his raucous rallies. The events have come infused with hostility and violence that are unknown to modern president ial campaigns. The candidate himself off and seems to wink at or encourage rough treatment of protesters. Come on, get them out. He shouted on friday concerning protesters could not be removed more quickly. The hill newspaper also carried this report from the ap which says police say they did not tell trump to cancel the rally. The report says the Chicago Police department told the Associated Press the police did not suggest donald trump cancel his rally, contrary to what trump said in an interview. The spokesperson said the decision to shut down the event was made independently by the Trump Campaign. Here is what the Trump Campaign told its rally goers and shutting down the event last night. Justn said mr. Trump arrived in chicago and after meeting with Law Enforcement is determined that for the safety of all the tens of thousands of evil who have gathered in and around the arena, tonights rally will be postponed to another date. Thank you very much for your attendance and please go in peace. Here is what donald trump had to say for himself after last nights event. It is politics. We have had some violent people as protesters. They are not people saying, these are people that punch. They are violent people. I get the biggest crowds by far. Not even a contest. You people dont like to report it. The one thing good about protesters is you have to go into these stadiums with 25,00030,000 people. The cameras never turn and show the stadium. Turn in show the stadium. But there was a protest in the corner it is great. Its a negative as opposed to a positive so they turn. We have had a couple that were really violent. A particular one when i said that was a very very loud. And then started swinging at the audience. The audiences one back. Audience swung back. He was hitting people in the audience hit back. That is what we need a little bit more of. Im not talking about a protester. This was a guy who should not of been allowed to do it he did. If you want to know the truth, the police were very restrained. The police of been amazing but the police were very restrained. Host just to clarify, that was trump speaking before last nights event in chicago, but also speaking about the violence and some of his rallies. Here is a tweet he published just after the Campaign Event was canceled. I just got off the phone with great people of guam. Thank you for cr support for your support. What do you think about the violence at trumps rallies . Rick, good morning to you. Caller good morning. It is my honest opinion that donald trump is completely 100 to blame for the violence at his rallies. Really incited the people against thees to go protesters that are there. The protesters that are there are legal and they are viable part of our electoral process. They have a right to express their opinion. But he immediately insights the crowd in the violence against them. We have not seen a single incident of a protester swinging that one of Donald Trumps events, but we had Video Evidence of one of donald trump s supporters taking a pot shot at one of the demonstrators just as he was leaving. And a big mouth and a demonstrator is just exactly why the demonstrator is there. It is unfortunate that our political system has degraded to the point that it is. Host we hear you this morning. Our next color will be ed from georgia on the republican line. Ed, good morning to you. Caller good morning. I think the guy it is called in these to go soak his head. You dont see any Trump Supporters going to a Bernie Sanders rally and disrupting them. We dont go to hillarys and disrupt them. They come in there. They act decent like they will go to the rally and listen to what mr. Trump has to say. Instead, they go in and punch people. They cause all kinds of disruption. Is trying to do is bring jobs to america. That is why the people of chicago dont want it. The people of chicago just want to shoot people in the street. Host next color is don from maryland on the independent line. What you think of all of this . Go ahead. You are on the air. Caller good morning. The last color was very unintelligent. Caller was very unintelligent. Hes a guy that is very skillful. I would not be surprised to be paid some of those protesters to come there and disrupt the rally. Its just to make him look like a strong man. That is all trump wants. He wants power. He has fame and fortune in the living that is left is power. Host what do you think about the callers point that Trump Supporters are turning up great numbers to other candidates rallies . Reason to at is no the other rallies. The other rallies are peaceful. Candidates are not inciting people to do harm to other people. They are not disparaging people. Don, thank you. Williesorry, we have from annapolis, maryland. Caller i have heard different views but trump is 100 responsible for what he is doing. He has better than what he is doing. Im hearinge these nut jobs talk about what they are doing. What theyre not talking about is the spitting, attacking women and stuff like that. He is 100 responsible. Host we hear your thoughts as well this morning. Here is what some of trumps rivals has to say. Thecruz said this about cancellation of his rally last night. This is a sad day. Political discourse should occur in this country. Without the threat of violence. Without anger and rage and hatred directed at each other. We need to learn to have disagreements without being disagreeable. To have disagreements while respecting human beings on the other side. Over 30 people were arrested at one rally. And then tonight as violence broke out the rally was canceled altogether. Liesesponsibility for that with protesters who took violence into their own hands. But at any Campaign Response ability stops starts at the top. Any candidate is responsible for the culture of the campaign. When you have a campaign that disrespects the voters, when you have a campaign that affirmatively encourages violence, when you have a campaign that is facing allegations of physical violence against members of the press, thatreate an environment only encourages this sort of nasty discourse. Host cnn conducted an interview with senator marco rubio as well about the events last night. Here is what he had to say according to politico. Rubioican rival marco also spoke out friday about the protest saying some chicago residents are professional protesters. They dont have the right to stop an event if they dont like what is being said. It is clear from watching these images there are people that are processing tonight that are part of organized efforts to disrupt this event. This is not the sort of organic thing that happens in chicago. There are a lot of groups they do this professionally in some instances. He also jabbed his rivals incendiary rhetoric. I think mr. Trump nissan of to the fact the rhetoric he uses at some of its has also contributed to what you see in other rallies he has had. There are consequences to things people say in politics. We are taking your phone calls now. What do you think about who was to blame for the violence that Donald Trumps rallies. What you make of all of this . Caller good morning. When i see what happened last night, its like ted cruz said. You have the right to protest, but you have the right also for free speech. When donald trump went to this University Campus he was expecting angry people to protest, but it should not be like that. Issue the outside like they were. They should not have gotten into the arena. That is illegal and not acceptable. The media cnn was showing pictures with a white person in black person punching each other. This is not about black person against white person. People think donald trump is a racist. If hes a racist, we can challenge him. Fightuld not make a fist in front of the whole world is laughing about america. Otherwise ted cruz was right. He said ok, freedom of speech should be the right but donald trump should be accountable. Donald trump was accountable yesterday. He suspended his campaign. That was the right thing to do. Donald trump has won. People havefuture the right to assemble in america i commend donald trump for stopping it. The protesters should be civil and send a message that this option is not legal in america. Host we hear you this morning. We also to show you some of the photos from the protests last night that we have found on twitter. Here are a few from some people who were there, some reporters who were there. Erese are from paul gotting showing thousands of people marching to protest trump in chicago. There are some overhead shots as well. A photo of asee group of muslim men pray just before trump canceled his rally. He has obviously made incendiary comments about muslims. Here is a woman who is a trump supporter who struck this post as she was being asked to leave the rally. Our next caller come to new york city on the republican line. Tommy, what do you think . Caller i believe all these protests marco rubio was right. They are orchestrated by all these people. Any political rally, there was always a heckler here and there. These are orchestrated. They are rabblerousers and troublemakers. When trump, screams get them out what is the big deal . Host even if they are orchestrated, d you think that calls for physical violence . Caller what violence . They told them to get out. Get them out does not mean violence. It is only hurt anybody. Violence is hurting people. What is so wrong with that . Host that is tommy from new york city. I want to review the story from cnn that says trump rally attendee charged with assault. A man was arrested and charged thursday after multiple videos posted online showed him punching a protester in the face and later saying the next time we see him we might have to kill him. He was questioned and arrested by the crumbling county sheriffs department. Police identified him as the man in the video according to Public Information officer Sergeant Sean swain. He was charged with disorderly conduct. He appears to punch a black protester in the face is using escorted out of the venue with a group of protesters by half dozen Police Officers. The incident occurred during trumps rally in fayetteville, north carolina. The department has opened an internal investigation to see if the officers that did not detain him on site should have done so. Here is Bernie Sanders on the trail. He was speaking about the need to unify voters after this bruising election cycle. We will win this election because the American People are sick and tired of establishment politics. [cheers] tired ofsick and establishment economics. [cheers] all across this country what people are saying is we demand a government that represents all of us. [cheers] and not just a handful of Billionaire Campaign contributors. [cheers] what this campaign is about is bringing our people together. [cheers] or letting donald trump anybody else divide us up. [boos] no, were not going to hate mexicans. [cheers] we are not going to hate muslims. [cheers] we are not going to insult women. [cheers] we are not going to insult that it runs. Veterans. We are not going to insult africanamericans. [cheers] we are going to bring our people together. Host back your phone calls now. On the democratic line, julie from omaha, nebraska. Caller hi. I think trump enjoys this. This is like a reality show for him. He knew what he was getting into. He knew that is what is going to be all about. He just enjoys it. He thinks he can say anything he wants because its he has as much money as he wants. Other people are paying for his all of this stuff he is doing. He keeps saying he is not getting a penny. Why doesnt anybody say think about how he is loaning his money and then he would get it back at the end of his term . Host do you think the protesters share any part of the blame here . How the crowds of been very large. Maybe some people have been overly aggressive. Caller no, i dont because of one reason. Saying racist things alter his campaign. He has been saying, i would like to punch them. I will build this big giant wall. There is nobody better than what i am. He wanted to be like this. He wanted to be a race war. Host julie from omaha, nebraska. Ryan from the independent line. What you think . Caller i think it is well, the premise. Whoever decided to lead up your fine show i think is ridiculous. In this land we have free will. The make your choices. That is the beauty and the strength of all of it. If people would act like idiots, and even your show im disappointed. You are making it out like this violencegliness and and this is the worst thing in the world. We have veterans committing suicide at such a high rate. Lets lead off with that. Lets dig into that. That should be on prime time. This is nothing. This is people disagreeing. Big deal. If you really want to learn about this, the late glenn frey just passed away. Take out a song called dirty laundry. I always thought that song applied directly to the media. And now its getting into your show. You get brian lamb back and get his sound advice on how cspan should be operating. Not in this. Host i do encourage you to stick around for the rest of the show. We will be covering other topics beyond donald trump. The next caller is tom from fort lauderdale, florida. Go ahead. Caller hello. Sure the purpose of these protests was to shut down that rally. Let me back up a minute. I find it interesting this is all happening in illinois. Illinois is virtually ruled by the Democratic Party. Democrats blame republicans for not enough funding for schools. They can do whatever they want to with schools funding in the city of chicago. Ruled bynd illinois is the Democratic Party. Why are these people so unhappy . Isnt the Democratic Party their answer . What is the Democratic Party done for them . Nothing to turn them into a loons. A crowd of vera, what are your thoughts . Caller i want to just say this some the one best lesson i ever learned growing up was when my brother public when i go to the pump to get some water, being im from nigeria, i should never get into any altercations. He punished me. He didnt take me there to fight it out because violence begets violence. When you sew love, you reap love. Hate, you repay. Any time you do your work, whether you are an artist and you do it with love, it is so beautiful. If you are a cook and you cook with love, it is so different when you cook with hate. Host who do you think is spawning the hate and violence . Caller is obviously what i am saying. When something stands, something will stand here it. You cannot sew hate and expect to reap love. When you sew love, you will reap love. It is so obvious. Host we hear you this morning. If you, turn twitter. Stoking. Gressive aggressive stoking just want to suppress other view. What responsible for somebody else says or does. Liberals are being brainwashed by blamer obama. The reason behind violence is the trump promotion of hate, and divide and rule policies. Now going to baton rouge, louisiana. Doc . Caller good morning. What you are seeing here is the result of bolshevikism in america. This is the Democratic Party, the new Bolshevik Party of the democrats. 1900s, thesearly are the people that destroyed a great country like russia. The result was 100 Million People killed. This is the democratic Bolshevik Party led by Hillary Clinton, sanders. Bernie fife host you say this is a reaction to president obamas policies . The Democratic Party policies . Caller yes. It is free speech. Bolsheviks do not like free speech. They hate free speech. Host all right. Here is president obama. He was speaking recently about the political rhetoric and the tone of this years president ial election cycle. Here is what he had to say about it. [video clip] president obama it is fair to say that the republican political elites in many of the information outlets, social media, news outlets, talk radio, television stations have been feeding the Republican Base for notiont seven years a
