The president responding this morning tweeting portland is a mess. And it has been for many years. If the stroke of a mayor doesnt clean it up we will go in and do it for them. Florida congressman val demings say President Trump created the crisis. This is exactly what happens when homeland security, the intelligence community, the military, and others who were charged with protecting our homeland are politicized. Melissa matt is life in portland with more. Right now, Portland Police are actively investigating this weekends shooting death. Police are asking for any eyewitness accounts or video which they say can greatly help them. This is the intersection where police say that man was shot in the chest and killed on saturday. Theres a small card and flowers tied to the tree here. Portland police have not officially released the name of the victim, but the victims name has appeared on social media and in local reports as aaron danielson, a reported supporter of the conservative group Patriot Prayer. The shooting happened after a caravan of President Trump supporters cruised through portlands downtown streets in a planned demonstration on saturday. Opposing groups and rioters clashed and ultimately a man was shot dead hours after the caravan ended. Local reports say there is a shooting suspect being investigated this morning, we will keep you updated throughout the day as police formally identify the victim or shooter. Oregons governor and portland mayor are pointing the finger at President Trump and the Patriot Prayer group. The person that ended up being the victim appears to be associated with Patriot Prayer. Here is portlands mayor blaming the protrump caravan that came to the city this weekend. When people say they want to come to the city in a caravan supporting their president ial candidates, we cannot tell them no. Their Constitutional Rights to be here, rights which i embrace and support. The violence however is the problem. Here in portland, it was the 94th night of unrest last night. Police formally declared yet another Unlawful Assembly and made 29 arrests because of criminal rioting including throwing objects at police. Portlands mayor is urging anyone that might come to portland to seek revenge for this weekends shooting death to stay away. Pullens police chief says its critical that people refrain from conjecture, because lives are at stake. Theyve chosen not to prosecute many of the criminal violent rioters here over the past couple months, but federal authorities are not being as lenient. Here in portland, 76 people have been hit with lateral chargers and nationwide, 302 people are facing federal charges related to ongoing unrest and rioting. Oregons governor has authorized state police to return to portland to help the Police Department which has been stretched thin. Melissa. Melissa matt, thank you for that. Speaking of portland, we want to go right to the white house. Kelly mcinerney is addressing. Lets listen in. Nearly 1,000 National Guard troops were deployed at the request of local officials. Resident trump showed up and law and order arrived. Nationally according to the doj, 300 have been arrested under 302 charged amid riots and unrest. Democrats are late to the game, i stood behind this podium and highlighted this issue for months. This president is always willing to show up, it is incumbent on president s to step up. Invite federal Law Enforcement and we stand ready, do not tolerate anarchy, violence, and destruction. Rioting is not right, secure your streets. President trump will visit kenosha, wisconsin, tomorrow, this president will go to cities where americans are hurting and with that ill take questions. Hes going to kenosha tomorrow, does the president have plans currently to meet with jacob blakes family . Currently the plans are to meet with local Law Enforcement and Business Owners and survey the damage, there will be more detailed plans forthcoming. I know that theres been outreach from the white house, who has the white house reached out to in a jacob blakes family and why have they not been able to get a connection made sense he was shot and hospitalized . I would refer you to what the chief of staffs office has tweeted, they detailed that operation. The president was asked on friday if he thought the shooting of jacob blake was justified, he said he was going to learn more about it. Now that days have passed, does the president think that shooting was justified or unjustified . I would refer you back to the president s remarks thursday, the investigation is ongoing. He was not willing to weigh in more. He will have a briefing this afternoon you can ask him more about. Do you think he doesnt have any further thoughts . I refer you back to his comments and will say there is an ongoing investigation. The president condemns the actions of kyle rittenhouse, accused of shooting protesters. The president is not going to weigh in on that, he may weigh in further this evening but at the moment, hes not weighing in. I think he wanted to bring some attention to some of the details that arent as well known that the individual would be attacked, and one of the individuals who arrived on the scene did have a gun, so there was some detail that were not public or as public as they should be, hes referring to that. He wanted supporters to show up. The president roundly condemns violence in all of its forms. The National Intelligence briefings with the hill, the information leak was wrong so if thats the case, how can it be considered sensitive . Are you referring to the jul . So the president has been very clear and more clearly director ratcliffe in saying that leaks for political purposes are not to be tolerated, we will fulfill statutory obligations but leaks private briefings to congress should not be tolerated. How long will debriefings be off the table . Is this permanent or through the election . I refer you to dni but they have been very clear they will fulfill their statutory obligation but not participate. Tiktok, china has said they will require ticktock to signt to chinese approval question marks negotiations are ongoing on the sale of tiktok, we will not get in way of that by providing comment. The administration is committed to protecting the American People from all cyber related threats to critical infrastructure, Public Health and safety, and these apps that ive detailed from the podium before collect significant amounts of private data on users which can be accessed and used by the prc. On the timeline here, theres some confusion among buyers. There was one that said it would be a 45day deadline to ticktock to stop business in the u. S. , there was a 90 day deadline for tiktok. Can you clear that up for the market, what is the actual deadline question arc i have to check in, i will get back with you about the discrepancy. Thank you, broadly what does the president want to achieve by going to kenosha and what is his or the white houses response to local and state leaders urging him not to come at this time question marks because the president wants to visit hurtinn louisiana and texas in response to the hurricane so he wants to show up in a city that is hurting. Also i think its important to note that our federal response, in kenosha and minneapolis, there was violence on the streets and literally within 24 hours you saw a turnaround when federal officials came in. So i think highlighting that the federal government has done a lot in the way of keeping law and order to create peace but showing up for hurting americans is a primary concern. He didnt show up in portland where they were also protests that he talked about a lot, is it not also because wisconsin is a political state . Hes showing up to see hurting americans, he goes to several states every week. Coronavirus infections have now reached 6 million in the u. S. , over 180,000 dead. Why does the president retweet report over the weekend that appears to have a death toll much lower than that . If the president was referring to ac dc, new information that shows that 94 of cases of fatalities were not just covid alone, there was another comorbidity or extenuating matter. Hes just pointing to those numbers, we are encouraged to see a drop in cases, deaths, hospitalizations, we have one of the lowest case fatality rates in the world, in fact hours is 3. 1 . E. U. And u. K. Together is 10. 5 , we are encouraged our therapeutics are working and saving lives thanks to the hard work of President Trump. He tries to downplay the doctoral. He was highlighting new cdc information that was worth noting. Took a video or retweeted a video of people driving into portland with trump and american flags on it. What about that image does the presidency as patriotic . You are talking about people going into a city which they dont live, presumably to protect property they dont own. The president was highlighting these are good americans going to peacefully protest and show their voice, and thats what he was noting by the tweet and highlighting the video which he routinely does. Shooting paintballs at people, getting in the mix with people. I dont think the president has seen that video, if youre going to ask about paintballs its incredible that for 90 days i stood at this podium talking about officers who have lasers flashed in their iced to blind them, commercial grade fireworks being thrown at them, a Church Burning down, people harassed and yelled at, dan bongino right out here, and youre going to ask me about paintballs when in fact for 90 days youve seen horrific, horrific violence by antifa and radical Anarchist Organizations, youre going to ask me about paintballs . Im going to ask you about it, you maintain that the people who went into the city the president has not seen that video, i dont know the people youre referring to were part of that activity. Look, theres been 90 days of violence from leftwing anarchists. Its incredible that today is the one time youre interested in violence when its paintballs and we dont even know who set off these paintballs, but you failed to ask for 90 days about violence from an Anarchist Organization because it happens to be on the left. President also traveling this week to wilmington, why is he traveling specifically to wilmington, why is that the place hes choosing to designa designate, and is this related in any way to the fact that North Carolina is considered a must win state for the preside president . There is not a political purpose, the president is visiting to commemorate a great site in american history. A federal judge in georgia last week denying citizenship to a couple. And it must ration denying gay couples for their children born overseas. How can this be part of the lgbtq that was nothing to do with the sexual orientation. Leading a Global Initiative to an decriminalization of homosexuality throughout the world, launching a plan to aid d the aids epidemic and easing a ban on blood donations from gay and bisexual men. If anything were further id refer you to th to the its an important question, we will always stand on the side of freedom and democracy. We continue to follow the developments in belarus closely and to support International Efforts to look independently into electoral irregularities, human rights abuses, and the government crackdown and massive number of belarusians protesting peacefully makes clear that the government can no longer ignore the people call for democracy. Russia must also respect belarus sovereignty and the right of the people to elect their own leaders. The president had a Campaign Rally friday night talked about the possibility of declaring insurrection over the rioting. If so, what is holding them back . The president does not want to invoke insurrection act, which has been used very sparingly. What he does want is to help the cities where he can, and when you see kenosha, there was peace. In minneapolis, and both of those cases thats the invitation of the governor so we want to work collaboratively with democrat mayors and governors, they do hold the police power as embedded in the constitution to control their streets. We are willing to supplement. The person killed in portland last weekend was a trump supporter. Does the president feel like portland is too dangerous for his supporters . Should they stay away . The president believes that people of all ideologists should be able to peacefully protest and not have their lives put at risk like Aaron Jay Danielson who lost his life. His suspected killer said he was 100 antifa and ready for warp appeared on acceptable. Given that the coronavirus numbers are going up, is the president rethinking opening schools . What is the administrations message to parents who worry about sending their kids back to class . Theres been a drop in cases, deaths, and hospitalizations since the peak in july. We saw a 38 decrease in the seven day average of cases. So numbers are going down, its paramount that students have the option to go back to school, that students have a choice to send their kids back to school. As dr. Redfield said, cdc director, i think we have to be honest that the Public Health and interest of students is to get a quality education and facetoface learning, we need to give parents this option. Theres a lot of consequences for schools being closed. Kellyanne conway says the more chaos and anarchy and violence rains, the better it is for the clear choice of Public Safety and law order. Democrats say the president inc. Violence works in political favor. He is not rooting for more violence in the slightest, under his administration we saw crime nationwide decrease in 2017 and 2018 after rising the two previous years. We are encouraged that operation legend is working in kansas city, violence has been cut by a third and indianapolis weve gotten 49 guns off the streets in two weeks were related to gun violence. Does it help make a case for his reelection question marks because no one wants to see this, in seattle you are the first eight months total of murders almost surpassing the entire amount in 2019. This is because the defund the police movement, because of the criticism of belief its officers and drawing down of funds for these officers. No one wants to see this, which is why the president is fighting against that movement and hes fighting for a robust operation and response. Why hasnt the president said americans shouldnt be taking their own weapons to protect buildings and condemning the idea of people deputizing themselves . Does the white house believe that citizen should stop showing up in cities . This white house believes police should be fully funded, we should have more Police Rather than less. Our police officers, who are responsible for taking to the streets and protecting us. When they are called cancers by congresswoman ilhan omar, when they are compared to the kkk by current sitting Vice President ial candidate, its appalling, its despicable, we need to protect our police officers. One of the president s position on victims, family, businesses as a result of these riots . I havent spoken to him about that specifically, but certainly what you are seeing is democratic cities where you are seeing these numbers increase. When you look at portland, seattle, philadelphia, minneapolis, chicago, new york city, these have all seen anywhere from 33 spike in the murder rate to a 277 increase in one month alone in new york city. Its appalling, it is democratic governors and mayors and of lawlessness they are allowing to prevail. When federal laws come income of the situation changes. Democrats once ignored the violence, all of a sudden caring about it. Lets not forget what they said previously, nancy pelosi downplaying the violence, ignoring glee saying people will do what they do. Jerry nadler said that was a myth being spread around washington, d. C. Its not a myth, a antifa individual took the life of an innocent from supporter in portland. Chris cuomo saying show me where it says protesters are supposed to be peaceful, ill give you an idea, its the constitution. Don lemon saying the rioting has to stop. As you know, and i know its showing up in the polls, in the focus group, the only thing right now thats taking. The president has talked about law and order repeatedly. Its time for the democrats to deny what they said previously, and focus on law and order. Thats like the arsonist blaming the firefighter. Melissa that was Kelly Mcinerney speaking at the white house, the president is going to kenosha, wisconsin, despite a letter from the states governor, an expert of that letter reading i am concerned your presence will only hinder our healing, i am concerned your presence will only delay our work to overcome division and move forward together. Now is not the time for elected officials to ignore armed militants and outofstate instigators who want to contribute to our anguish. Joining me now is congressman, he represents the First District of wisconsin which includes the city of kenosha. So youre the one who represents the very district we are all talking about. It tell me what the people you represent need. I was on the ground early, thats actually why i called the president of the United States could he answer my phone call and offered to provide federal assistance immediately. Our governor waited another 24 hours but ultimately accepted that help, and on wednesday we were able to bring Public S
