I think you have to be progressive. You learn from some of the things you did before. In many cases, we will be a lot ofe patient and tolerant demonstrators. Some of the planning did not change that significantly, but the world changed. After 9 11, everything changed in terms of large events. Centered around that, whether it be our made in america, welcome in america, people who visit here. We have large scale if vincent philadelphia, tremendous coordination goes into that. Its not just believe. Its not just its not just belief. Its not just fire. Folks across the room, the list goes on and on and on. We are protecting the city both from land, air, as you may have seen. Are you concerned about the potential for a lone wolf . Commissioner ross well, this is something you just dont know. Its hard to plan for the unknown. Just when you thought you were beyond that craziness and chaos, you get Something Else happening. Unfortunately, the unintended is everyone of those incidents prepares you in a way you did not want to have to. It makes you think in ways tactically you never thought before. How many officers will be on the ground. Can you give us an estimate . Commissioner ross it is significant. Anticipation of someone elses question, we are a little larger than cleveland. I think they are 1500. Really, we should have coordination with other Law Enforcement entities. The state police is helping us significantly. We have five counties providing Specialty Services to us. We will get that to you at a later date. Right now we are not prepared to disclose that. [indiscernible] the mayor indicated we strongly discourage people from camping. However, we will evaluate every circumstance. We will make those determinations as they come. [indiscernible] you mentioned tolerating protest. What will be Police Response be . We hope onlyross people with permits will protest, but that clearly want not be the case. I cannot tell you absolutely what we will do in every instance, because everyone will undoubtedly be different. I dont want us to put us in a corner by saying we will absolutely do one thing or another. [indiscernible] inundated withn calls about i95, two lanes. Im not sure, but it appears that they are funneling the truck from these points to basically get them to other routes. That going to look like before the monday morning rush hour, four lanes go down to two . In allioner ross likelihood, it will. There may be truckers over the weight limit that did not get that message. We are very clear that type of the of coal will be prohibited you traveling the routes alluded to. Commuters should be patient. I would say, yes, is the answer to your question. In cleveland for our demonstrators was far less than predicted. Can you talk about the difference between cleveland and philadelphia and why you believe those numbers would be far greater here . Commissioner ross i dont want to speak for the mayor. My answer is i dont know what the numbers will be greater. They expected greater numbers and did not get them. It is sunday. I do not know what will happen during the week. [indiscernible] it is aoner ross bigger city. Its way too early to start guesstimating numbers. [indiscernible] some of the initial permit requests. Sometimes they will permit for a certain number of people and half for a third show up. As commissioner ross said, we really do not know. A [indiscernible] based on the weather. We will be prepared for whatever we are faced with. [indiscernible] to backtrack, i was speaking about numbers far and above what the permitted individuals indicated. A lot of people may come above and beyond that. No one has been arrested yet. [indiscernible] no, not for this, yet. Not while i have been standing here. Kenney our goal is not to arrest anyone. A way to keeps is people outside the criminal justice system. We want to expedite this without making a formal criminal arrest. Do you see any Credible Threats against the dnc, against philadelphia . Commissioner ross no, we have not. Obviously our criminal intelligence agencies are remaining very vigilant. We will continue to monitor as many sites as we can. Yes, clearlyross we would put down some additional barricades, just to make sure vehicles would not be able to do the kind of thing that happened there. That is one significant change. Other than that, there has been no real significant changes with the overall plan. Commissioner, how do you decide to employ officers wearing polo shirts versus [indiscernible] commissioner ross our process for the most part is to wear the soft clothes, like i am in right now, to demonstrate we have no desire to be disruptive, to allow as many people as possible to demonstrate peacefully in a think that goes a long way toward conveying that message. Clearly there may be people who will not be part of a protest or demonstration, but they will not. E there so much as to protect following the Police Shootings in the u. S. , how did they change the outlook . Mayorsioner ross it is said we, unpredictable. You have to go into every day as though it is a normal day. Take precautions. Its an unpredictable world. I could not tell you other than calling each day a normal day as if it is a normal day, even tough it ishopefully we wont e respond to anything bad, but we will if necessary. [indiscernible] plans would change specifically [indiscernible] following the events in france and germany . Short. We would be remiss if we didnt take those precautions. Im not going into details, but to answer your question honestly, yes, we did take those precautions. The front lines, do you plan to be out on patrol . First of all, i cant say enough about my colleague in cleveland and how he handled that event. Choice. T have a you have to be out there conveying to the men and women that you are there, out front with them. But in addition you have to convey that to people who are protesting and demonstrating the general from public. Kudos to chief williams and his people, as well as anyone who planned alongside him. To you expect any protests in and around the convention enter . Yes, we do. And throughout center city. Probably 90 will be very, very peaceful. Many of these people have indicated that they have no desire to do anything other than express their First Amendment rights and thats what you expect to happen, but they will see a center city, no question about that. [inaudible] i will let the mayors press person tell you about that, but for the most part i think we will do something daily. She will let you know, but i think we will be putting out some information in the morning. It wont be in the form of from me, but you will get it from me each and every day. What did you learn from last year that was helpful . First of all, something that was more reminded of that learned of, the resiliency of these officers, as well as the city and their ability to plan significant event. That was a tremendous effort, as you know. It just showed us that we are doing the right things with regard to our planning. In terms of anything they did wrong, i wouldnt say that anything stands out, just constant reminders that you are on the right page. The same thing holds true with the trip to cleveland. It helps you in understanding the planning is where it should be. [inaudible] deals with protest, responses, etc. . This is the citys Emergency Operation center. When you have a National Special security event, there are a variety of different facilities that certain things are coordinated out of. Intelligence centers, information centers. This is the nucleus of the city. In addition to police, fire, and public safety, we bring in our support partners. There is a huge contingent of colleague out in the streets are working with us, providing water to people. All of that is really managed through this facility. [inaudible] obviously the fraternal order of the police is an organization that we express we respect in the have expressed their First Amendment opinion. I have no other comment other than that. Thats it. No, it will be very similar. Have the right to express their opinion. I know the president very well. Hes effective and he has the right to say what hes going to say. I dont personally wade into political rhetoric. Its not at i do. [inaudible] yeah, theres been a comprehensive plan around that. You always do that with a largescale event. We are obviously helpful that we dont have to resort to that, but if we do we are very prepared. [inaudible] thats been determined, or any other information . Obviously its still very early. T was very well respected i guess the best way to say that is that around 1 00 in the morning last night or this moreng at temple we had than 100 firefighters there. The mayor was there, on duty, offduty to say goodbye. It certainly still early and we will provide information to everybody when we have more information to provide. I can tell you right now that we are really we are certainly going to be fulfilling all the requirements of our mission , protecting the city 24 7, 365, circling up and working together the way that we do as brothers and sisters, rallying around his family, doing right by him. Can you confirm the fire from earlier in the day . Our firefighters and medics are absolutely responding to incidents. How long has he been with the department . Hes 42 years old with more than 20 years on the job. During this year or 10 months leading up to it, has there ever been a point that you said to yourself, why did i agreed to do this . No. [laughter] its very exciting to see with going to happen in philadelphia with this historic happening. Its going to result in the first woman president of the united states. That is exciting and wonderful. The details and the nittygritty sometimes get a little exasperating. I mean, yeah, theres never been a time to myself when i thought i was sorry that we had it. Im looking forward to it. This country after last week needs this. , ier how it ended last week was stunned at how bad it was. I think that what this country needs right now is four days of positivity. Have you ever underestimate underestimated how much work . The pope was this times five or six. Thats how they got was. I was not involved in the direct planning of that visit, but i was certainly in the city and watched everything that was going on. People were very nice to each other. The key to the whole thing is just to try to show some love, to show some understanding. People are hurting, angry, tearful. We cannot put the country back on track this kind of marginalization. We have to include everyone. I think thats been the message here. We need to come together in a unified way to make this country move forward and thats what we are going to do. What do you mean after last week . Did you watch last week . It needs some inclusion, it needs some love. It needs some help. It needs some energy that what we are living in are living in our difficult times, but its not all a downer. This country is a difficult country. To have a major Party Candidate talk so badly about our countrys situation, the country needs to hear from us and positive people. [inaudible] exit the building [inaudible] oneonones at all [inaudible] thank you.

The city finalizing preparations for its first National Convention is 2000. The democrats last here in last met here in 1948, when harry truman accepted the inination for a second term the First Political convention.

Joining us just across is evesham garris, the senior Political Editor for cbs news. Thank you for being with us. Steve great to be with you, steve. Steve what do you think the democrats need to do in the week ahead . The republicans got knocked off message for the first few days. First there was this plagiarism deal from Melania Trump. She had taken some paragraphs Michelle Obamas speech for 2008. Sort of commuting a night in which everyone would have been talking about the criticism of Hillary Clinton. Instead all the conversation was s speech Melania Trump and what was wrong there. I was monday. Tuesday was more about her speech, in terms of the campaign with different responses to how that happened. They didnt clear that up until wednesday. And they were expecting to hear about the might hence nomination acceptance speech, but he was overshadowed by ted cruz, who gave a speech and got booed off the stage. It wasnt until thursday that we heard the message that campaign wanted to come out of that convention. For trump, i mean there were millions of people who watched it. Week orsee as the next to go on what kind of reaction the American Voters have, but there seem to be too. One, there was generally a positive reaction among republicans, but others felt that the speech was a bit dire in terms of its description of where america is right now. Its an interesting strategy, because if you talk to American Voters the majority think that the country is on the wrong track. I think what we will see clinton do moving forward is take the office that we saw yesterday in her speech with a running mate, unity,ne, trying to take trying to unify the country with a positive message. Her slogan is stronger together. They are really talking about america positively, a complete where trumps. O again, we will see where American Voters land on this after her convention this week. Mentioned the ratings, 32 Million People watching donald trump. Your colleague, john dickerson, sat down with the president. What role do you think you will play this week as he tries to fire up democrats, but also moving ahead as a surrogate for it inton kane take ticket . Interesting will be to watch. Hes already been extremely critical of trump. Whether it was in todays interview, on the stump, or even overseas criticizing trumps foreign policy, which is sort of unprecedented. We havent seen that kind of aggressive criticism since reagan going after dukakis in 1988. Interesting, but we can expect a lot of Harsh Criticism of trump and his prescription for america. In terms of fiery people up, there is a real concern among the Hillary Clinton folks and democrats in general of enthusiasm for this years election. I think they want to get what they call the Obama Coalition out there in full force, talking about young voters, african voters, suburban women. But Hillary Clinton is not so well among younger voters. In the tuesday as africanAmerican Voters<
