Reporter police are stressing this is an on going investigation. Theyre working to determine if the suspect acted alone or had any assistance. Neighbors had told police there were some burns happening on his property and there was a stench coming from those burns that hit you in the face. Mackenzies uncle said the family is not taking any questions or interviews. Police have a considerable amount of followup work do. So far we dont know much about this suspect. Dana . Dana all right, matt finn, thank you. If theres more developments, well come back to you. I am joined by a criminal defense attorney around former prosecutor, plus daniel lindsky. If i could start with you and talk about the Police Working this case. Since the family reported her missing, to get to this point today, how were they able to arrest the suspect. I know they went through a tough week. When they get notification several days after a persons gone missing and her phone has been dead for several days, those circumstances point towards a bad outcome. I have had several cases where we found an outcome that was different, but oftentimes were behind the eight ball. I know the officers and detectives worked every hour they could, probably didnt sleep, trying to bring her home for her family and find out exactly what happened. Dana take a listen to this. This is the police chief that you just heard from about the last communication since her arrest. Watch. Investigations were conducted on mackenzies phone records, social media, and other communications, which showed that all communications ceased for mackenzie at 3 00 a. M. On june 17th. Investigations into mackenzie phone showed communications and data ceased at the time of june 17 at approximately 3 00 a. M. Investigation of mackenzies phone records show that her last communicati communication were with the arrest. Dana you know these cases. Youve been around talking about them throughout your career. What about the social Media Connection here and now this suspect that is under arrest . Pretty definitive . I think its very telling. Social media and our Digital Footprints are both a blessing and a curse. When somebody is investigating a crime like this, the phone is going to reveal so much more information than it did before we had it. Right . We can easily find where somebody was. At least where their phone was. Who they communicated with, what their ip addresses are. All those things that in this case was really helpful. Dana im gonna hold you and dan for a moment. This is a little bit of a turn. We have joe biden speaking for the First Time Since last night. And as the program senator harris participated in and it made a difference in the like. I did support federal action to address root causes of segregation in our schools including taking on banks, red lining, trying to change the way neighborhoods were segregated. In fact, i cast the deciding vote in 1974 against an amendment called the gurney amendment which would have banned the federal courts to be able to use bugging as a remedy. In the middle of the most extensive bust known in american history, my cities, my states. It wasnt what you called the most popular vote in the country. So reverend jackson, we spent a lot of time working together over the years on a lot of issues that matter. I know, i know you know i fought my heart to ensure civil rights and Voting Rights equal rights are enforced everywhere. These rights are not up to the states to decide. They are federal governments duty to decide. Its a constitutional question, to protect the civil rights of every single american. And thats always been my position. And so thats why i ran for federal office in the first place. As reverend jackson maybe one of the few people that knows, my city was the only city after dr. King was assassinated that was almost burned to the ground. 20 of it. The only city in the United States of america since reconstruction that was occupied by the national guard, for ten months. I came home from law school that year and i only had two political heroes, dr. King and bobby kennedy. They were both assassinated the year i graduated. I came home and i had a job with one of the oldest law firms in the state, a prestigious state. After five months i decided i couldnt do it. I ended up leaving and becoming a public defender. When i was elected, one of the first things i did was to go on a committee to try to strengthen the Voting Rights act. I cosponsored equal rights amendment. I supported making the equity act in law of the land today. I voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1990 to ban employment discrimination. I wrote the law, the provision of the law that allows the attorney general to pursue cases involving, quote, a pattern or practice of conduct by Law Enforcement officers in violation of constitutional of federal rights. I wrote that law. I used that power during the Obama Biden Administration. Our department of justice investigated Police Discrimination abuse including ferguson. By the way, we worked like the devil to make sure that you should not allow Police Departments to buy excess military vehicles like humvees and armored personnel carrier. You dont go into neighborhood and police going in an armored humvee. Our criminal justice reforms as president and Vice President reduced the federal population by 38,000 people. Ladies and gentlemen, the Obama Biden Administration we commuted more sentences than the 13 previous president s combined. [ applause ] by the way, with all due respect, i say to chicagoans and everyone, my president gets much too little credit for all that he did. He was one of the great president s of the United States of america. Im tired of hearing about what he didnt do [ applause ] this man had a back bone like a ram rod. He had a back bone like a ram rod. Do you want to know what man or womans made of . Watch them under incredible pressure. He got elected as we were about to fall off a cliff. We went on and we passed an act that was recovery act. 800 billion. Guess what . Remember, he stood up on he loved his state of the union. He said sheriff jones gonna enforce the act. Thanks a lot, mr. President. 800 billion. But we did it without less than 2 of waste, fraud or abuse in that act. Heres what he did. Everything that landed on his desk, i watched him. I watched him. I sat with him every single morning and i watched him, for hundreds of hours in the so called the situation room, not the wolf blitzer situation room, the real situation room. Chicago, you had a great, great man out here. Hes still a great man. He still has a lot to offer. [ applause ] where in office he passed started to break the pipeline. Folks, discussion in this race today shouldnt be about the past. We should be talking about how we can do better. How we can move forward. How we can give every child in america the opportunity to be a success story. These arent somebody elses children. Theyre our children, all our children. Thats not a joke. Theyre all our children. Theyre the kite strings that lift our National Ambitions along. We have to make people realize what youre doing. What youre doing, every single child in america has enormous potential. Every single child has enormous potential. But it means, means, you have to have good schools in every neighborhood. No child should be determined by their zip code. Thats why i propose tripling funding for schools to eliminate disparities between rich and poor school districts. Were going to increase teachers pay, make prek a requirement across the board. Ladies and gentlemen, these teachers, they walk into school like my wife. She taught in the Public School system. Now she teaches at community college. Shes never stopped teaching. Only second lady i ever known has had a full time job teaching 15 credits a semester. I dont know how in the devil im known as jill bidens husband. I earned it. I asked her five times to marry me. I dont know how that happened. Thank you, lord. But, look. Look. Those of you who are teachers in here, you know. Youre teaching kids to read, write, add, subtract. Guess what . Kids come to school with burdens and problems. We have too few school psychologists, too few social workers, too few people doing what needs to be done to give kids a chance. Were gonna do that under my proposal. [ applause ] look, were gonna reinstate the policies pushed through in our administration to finish the work of tkeg segregating those schools because we have a National Interest in creating diverse schools. Thats what i believe. We have to make sure were moving closer to the idea of americas founding. You know, we all learned in school, we hold these to selfevident that all man and women are created equal. We, the people. Weve never lived up to that. This is the 400th anniversary of the first africanamerican being brought to the shores of the United States as a slave. Thats the original sin of this nation. But weve never walked away from it either. Weve never walked away from the expectation all you in this room have never walked away from it. Theres only one trend i know thats deliberately walked away from it. That is donald trump. Not a joke. Think about this. I dont know about you, but i never thought that after all the progress that had been made, id see people marching out in fields carrying torches, con torted faces, anger and hate, acompanied by White Supremacists ku klux klan. Decent honorable people saying we dont hate you. What happened . Clash ensued, young woman died. What did he say when asked about it . He said, quote no president has ever said this. There are very fine people in both groups. Hes yet to apologize or criticize, criticize ku klux klan and White Supremacists. Look, we have a president that promotes hate and division, has encouraged the poison of white supremacy. Our children are watching. Barack was president our kids could and did look up to. Look, what president s say matters. It matters. When we stay silent, our silence is complicit. Thats what i learned. Their silence is complicit. I promise you, if i get elected president , i will be a president who stands against racism, who forces inclusion and intolerance everywhere in our society, our institutions, our voting groups and in our hearts. It matters what we say. Its important to stand by and start by recognizing black, hispanic, Asian American workers, native American Workers in communities of color all across the nation. When the atlanta washington womens strike in 1880, boycott of 1990 and 1960, around bill lucy chicagos own abby wide and zach vaughn, black and brown power have always been an integral part of fighting for the right to organize, demanding equal pay, fair treatment, basic workers protection. As my dad would say, some dignity. Taking on the fight of all workers, farm workers to Domestic Workers to tearing down racism along the way. We owe them. We owe them big. We owe you. If im elected president , i want you to know they will have an absolute full partner in the white house. I think labor knows that. [ applause ] folks, a lot has changed since weve been out of office. This president and some members of the Corporate Community believe that i want to make clear, wall street did not build america. We need to rebuild it. My dad used to have the expression, joey, talk about a lot more than a pay check. He meant it when he had to leave scranton to go find work. Joey, its about your dignity. Its about respecting the community. Its not about being able to look your child in the eye and say, honey, its gonna be okay, and mean it. Too few people have been referenced today. Too few people think they can say that any more. A vast majority for the fired time in about 80 years, vast majority of middle class people are shrinking. They no longer believe their children will have the responsibility. Mr. President , you talked about how your dad persisted to change things. Todays Corporate Culture and this administration, they dont care about your dignity. Instead of investing back into their workers and record profits, record profits, instead of investing back in research and development and creating more opportunities, corporate profits are going pay dividends to Share Holders and blockbuster executive compensation. Ladies and gentlemen, theyre squeezing the life out of workers today. By the way [ applause ] theyre making it harder to meet very basic needs, stripping you of your personal dignity along the way. Theres long been war on labor unions. As pointed out today, mr. Chairman, you all are coming back. Heres the deal. Theres been another wargoing on that hasnt been noticed very much. On the individuals to be able to bargain for their selfworth. 40 of workers today have to sign a noncompete agreement. Its one thing to have access to secrets of a great technical organization. You sign, i wont compete. Im gonna not open up next door. But a significant portion of these people are hourly workers. Up until i started holering about this, if you worked for jimmy johns, you had to sign a noncompete agreement so you wouldnt walk across town and try to get 0. 10 more from mcdonalds. Whats this all about . To hold down the ability of individuals to bargain for their selfworth, to keep wages low. Its wrong. Too Many Companies today classify their workers as managers when labor fought to make sure that youre an hourly worker, you had to be paid overtime. What do they do . Stacking spaghetti cans on top a shelf, but you control the person who runs the forklift to bring it out, they say you are now a manager. Ladies and gentlemen, it cost more than 4 million hourly workers 1. 2 billion last year. Where did it go . Went back into the pocket of corporate america. Back into so called the job creators. Since when, since when the autoworkers in my state that made all those automobiles, theyre gone now. Since when were they not job creators . Today the only people, mr. Chairman, they think are job creators are stock boys. Speaking of overtime, it is long past time we have a 15 federal minimum wage. Long past time. [ applause ] folks, it really is. Were getting it done around the country. Folks, we need to build an economy that rewards work, not just wages. Not just wealth. Wages have to be rewarded. Wages. Do you realize people who are multimillionaires who pay only capital gain, pay a lower tax rate than any of you all do . Look, if im elected president , i will immediately repeal the tax cuts for the super wealthy in this trump administration. You know, we have 1. 6 trillion in loopholes that exist in the law now. 1. 6 trillion. You cant justify the vast majority of that. So, folks, look. What im gonna do the use the money to invest in americas future. Theres an incredibly long list of policies. Let me tell you, we need an inclusive economy. From better access to caps on Small Businesses to reducing crime in black homeownership, to making sure homes in black communities are valued fairly. You realize saying home in a predominantly black neighborhood, same exact home, and one in an overwhelming white neighborhood, in the black neighborhood its valued at significantly less, limiting your ability to borrow against it, limiting your ability to do much about it. Guess what . You pay a higher insurance rate, too, for it. We need to reform the criminal justice system, make sure black mothers feel confident when they send their son out on the street, that he will be safe. Weve got to recognize that kid wearing a hoodie maybe will be the next poet laureate and not a gang banger. There are too many black men and women in prison. We started with a problem in our administration. Bobby scott, you know bobby well. Just met with bobby scott from virginia. Needs to be passed. We need to do more. No more minimum mandatory prison sentence period. End of private prisons, as barack and i talked about. [ applause ] drug courts. At least 400 million a year. Bail reform. No one should be in jail because they dont have money to pay their bail. No juveniles in adult prisons. Mandatory treatment, not jail, for those affected by and struggling with addiction. It makes no sense to put people in jail. Put them in treatment and keep them there while they are going through treatment. Decriminalize marijuana. Overturn marijuana convictions. [ applause ] finally, heres what i have been trying to do for 15 years, end crack powder cocaine disparity so its 11. Too many africanamericans have been put in jail for it. And prisons. What i dont get, we just got to make the case. If you make it for ordinary p
