MSNBCW The ReidOut July 21, 2020

Should never have let it out but it is what it is tonight, trump has launched season two of his coronavirus briefings show so the task force itself was notably absent but as he shirks responsibility for the very real health crisis, he is deploying a federal police force. To combat a fictional one. They sent a federal police force, and theres a mini army sent to portland, oregon, to go against protesters acting against the will of the governor and the mayor trumps forces are snatching people off the streets and forcing them in to unmarked vans without explanation and now trump is threatening to send the same police to more American Cities and distinctly to cities that happen to be run by democrats. I will do something, that i can tell you because we are not going to let new york and chicago and philadelphia and detroit and baltimore and all of these oakland is a mess. We are not going let this happen in our country all run by liberal democrats portland, they have done a fantastic job, they have been there three days and they really have done a fantastic job in a short period of time no problem they grab them, a lot of people in jail, they are leaders. These are not protesters New York Times reports no president in modern time has threatened to send in federal Law Enforcement over local opposition now, drawing from a grab bag of agencies just for reference here, are some of the protests that we have seen in portland. A peaceful group of moms gathered to demonstrate. But trump would have you believe that americas cities are criminal waste lands and he is using the trumped up charge to identify what any other country would be called the secret police, responsive only to the dear leader. Much like the socalled immigrant Migrant Caravan that he hyped in the 2018 mid terms this is a new distraction. And as trumps ominous new campaign ad suggests, its a Campaign Ploy to stoke lawlessness fears ahead of the election joining me is kamala harris. Thank you for being here this evening, senator thank you thank you, and donald trump named oakland, california, among the cities that he is now decided are the lawless nightmare cities that need to have his secret police on hand your thoughts on what he is doing and whether the senate, whether the senate or congress or anyone can do anything to stop him well, joy, first of all, congratulations on your show and its a wonderful thing to be with you this week so, look, just go down the list. It does not require the imaginations to see the connections between baltimore and detroit, and oakland as a daughter of oakland, born in oakland, the connection is clear to me. I will say this. First of all, as a member of the senate, Homeland Security committee, im officially demanding that one, the administration pull those officers from portland not dispatch them to any other city and two, that they investigate the misconduct of those officers in portland. But, putting it in the broader context. Imagine this, donald trump, who is otherwise completely hands off and has absolved himself of any responsibility on dealing with the biggest crisis that our country has faced, a Public Health crisis and economic crisis, but is hands on in deploying Law Enforcement to cities against the will of the leaders of those cities and states whereas he could, be hands on in getting resources to local and state governments so they can manage the covid crisis. Whereas he can be hands on to have a National Testing strategy and strategy for Contract Tracing and a National Strategy for ppes, nothing. This is yet again, an example of donald trump, trying to go around, what should be his responsibilities as a president of the United States and instead, he is trying to insight fear and also, distract from his failures as a president. You know, its theres two pieces of it that are ominous, theres the secret police aspect the sort of unmarked military looking forces that are essentially kidnapping people and holding them without any, you know, not even talking ingo the local officials and the rhetoric coming out of washington i want to play two pieces of sound for you. One of them is mayor lightfoot, she was on last night and this is what she said about the threat of federal forces coming to her city. Our democracy is at stake and i will be darned if im going to let anybody, even if their name is mr. President bring those kind of troops to our city and try to take off our residents. Thats not going to happen in chicago. And here is what i think is one of the most chilling pieces of audio that i have heard in a long time. This is chad wolf, he is the acting secretary of did department of home land security, this is how he said he respects the authority of those like mayor lightfoot i dont need invitations by the state, state mayors or state governors to do our job, we are going to do it whether they like us there had or not. Is that true . Do the states have any control over whether the secret police come in to the town and start arresting people so, to the point of the last interview that you showed, chad wolf, im leading a letter tomorrow, again, in my capacity as a member of the senate, a committee on Homeland Security, to get answers to these folks have been deployed and what was their mission and at whos direction. It is clear that they are going around the local authorities and state authorities and engaging in actions that are not only in violation of folks Constitutional Rights and the states local, ability to make decisions for the safety of their communities and well beings of their communities. Its important to note that they sent these Law Enforcement officers in to cities wearing camouflage camouflage we send folks in to war wearing camouflage, so they can blend in to the environment to ensure their safety has they are deployed on a mission that is in our National Interests so, what is going on here . When you send camouflage uniformed officers in to a city without any clear identification, to direct their, their force at Peaceful Protesters theres clearly, theres clearly an abandonment of mission, not only by the department of Homeland Security when doing that but clearly by the president of the United States donald trump yeah, i would be remiss if i did not ask this question. I have asked you this question ten times i will ask you again last night on this program, joe biden the former Vice President of the United States, he said that he four women on the short list in terms of people he is considering for Vice President do you know whether you are one of the four women . Four blackwomen . I am not going to speak for the Vice President , joy. And i appreciate you asking the question im honored to be in the conversation and im going to do everything in my power to make sure that joe biden is elected the next president of the United States, and every conversation that you are having every night with all of these leaders makes so clear why yep donald trump is incapable of leading our country during any time and in particular in a moment of crisis joe biden has the experience, he has the will,he the desire and the ability to lead our country through this crisis, and closer to the ideals which we hold dear last question before i let you go, senator, theres lot of people out there that talked about the idea, they would love to see you be the attorney general of the United States, put yourself in the mindset of attorney general do you believe some of the things we have seen happen, in the streets of portland, the caging of children, and the corruption, do you believe this administration engaged in criminal behavior and the next attorney general should investigate members of the administration, including bill barr and the president of the United States . First, we have to win the election theres no guarantee that we will do that it concerns me when we see the polling and people get a little happy and get comfortable with it four months is a lifetime in a campaign and an election cycle we first have to win and that is about encouraging people to vote and fighting against the states that are suppressing voters getting people to the polls. And we have to make sure that people are healthy and have jobs thats where my focus is trying to get Mitch Mcconnell to put the heroes act on the floor, because people are about to fall off the cliff at the end of the month because of the benefits are expiring. Senator harris, i had to ask you. Thank you. Thank you you take care. Thank you, very much. Joining me now is eric h holder, jr. , the 82nd attorney general of the United States and the chairman of the National Democratic redistricting committee. Attorney holder, thank you so much, its great to with you this evening i want to pick up on what we were discussing what i was discussing with senator harris these forces that we are seeing deployed in to the streets of americas cities, you know, a generation ago, when federal had forces were deployed in to American Cities it was a relief to people of color. It meant that a little girl may get walked in to school. Onner a James Meredith could be walked in to the university of mississippi that the v amcalvara coming, now, its to tear gas and abuse people and in some cases snatch people off the streets without identifying themselves essentially kidnap them. Its a secret police vibe instead of a cavelry what do you think . First of all, congratulations on your show with regard to the use of these forces you are right, in the past, my sisterinlaw was escorted in to the university of alabama as a result of the federal forces directed by president john kennedy. Thats the way in which the forces should be appropriately be used. To deploy the forces without any coordination of local authorities and any indication that theres a request by local authorities for it to be done, i think runs, puts us in a very dangerous place. You cannot have an administration in washington, d. C. , using federal resources. Federal forces to simply enforce the law in states where, or in cities where it thinks that it wants to project force its frankly this administration that is making determinations based on things other than the needs of those local communities. And so, i think that mayor lightfoot, when she said that, she will accept help in an appropriate way, but if not, she will fight the deployment of the forces that is an appropriate thing for a mayor to do. Theres another sort of dark place, when it comes to the Trump Administration you think of what an autocratic nation could would do. I want to show you a tweet that was put out today. I dont like reading his tweets but here is one. Mailin voting unless changed by the courts will lead to the most corrupt elections in history he keeps talking about mailin voting potentially being the seeds of a rigged election and i want to play you what was played on morning joe this morning and this was something that people are talking about and talking about. I want to get your response. Okay. He is talking about sending, these unmarked, Para Military guards to places with democrat, and blue states with very blue cities run by democratic mayors. I think we should all take very seriously the prospect that this is, as i say, a dress rehearsal, a trial run for first an attempt at voter t r intimidation elect day. Are they going to be security at the polls at battleground states think thats a question we would like to have answered. Are you concerned about that, that these Paramilitary Forces will be used to surpress the vote if you asked me about any other president , i would say of course not thats a script from a bad movie. This president has demonstrated that they have a capacity to go lower than we can imagine. Yeah, i think we have to be concerned about that his attempt to talk about mailin voting and all the fraud that is associated with it is incorrect. He is trying to set up a situation where he has the ability to delegitimatize a vote he may lose. If he loses and i expect that he will, then we have to be prepared for what he is going to do in the immediate after math of such a loss, and what he will do for the time period between the election and the inauguration of the next president. We have to be prepared for things that this nation has never faced before and unfortunately that could involve the use of, you know, these forces, who knows what he will do and the people who are in, as part of his administration will support him in doing yeah. You know, donald trump has joked about cancelling the election. You know ha, ha, h he has talked about eliminating immigrants from the census and he makes one wonder if he will leave if he loses the election do you think he will attempt to remain in office even if he loses . Yeah, theres nate mare scenarioses and we can wind them out. It should not take us away from the focus. He has to be beat. Beaten badly people need to get out and vote, we need to fight for giving people the ability to vote at home people call it vote by mail. I call it vote at home, for people who want to get to the polls. They have to have a healthy environment so that poll workers will be safe so the American People dont have to decide between keeping themselves healthy and engaging in the civic responsibility. Thats the primary thing we have to focus on. I think we can handle anything that he can try you to do after a devastating loss former attorney general eric holder its great to have you on the show thank you for being here appreciate your time tonight great to see you. Thank you very much and up next on the reid out, season two the of the trump show the script looks like season one. He gets in a world of trouble and surrenders and declares victory. To his supporters, trump is now the masked hero, high ho silver. It was a dark black mask and i thought it looked okay looked like the lone ranger. Just hours after tweeting about covid patriotism he peeled back that mask in a crowd full of people to reveal his true identity. When the reid out continues. Aetna never did.

At this point, the core of the economy is donald trump, what he will take responsibility for and what we wont. He is having a fake war on democratic cities, he will bring law and order to the unrulely tree lined streets in gated communities. He is doing that because he is making it clear he will not take responsibility for the actual crisis that is affecting america. The explosion of coronavirus cases in this country. Something he could do something about. More than 142,000 americans have now died as the u. S. Approaches 4 million cases. Trump goes back to what he knows. Putting on a show, tonight, he returned to a podium without any Health Experts to give an update to the American People, it was his first quote unquote briefing on the pandemic since april 27th since then, coronavirus cases have surged across the south and the west particularly in states where governors are doing thinks bidding and theres new evidence that the number of cases may be much higher than what states are reporting. The cdc put out a study saying that one, cases in some regions could be 624 times higher than reported the other showed infection rates could be ten times higher. But according to Donald Trumps twitter, we are doing well compared to the other countries. Dr. Davidson, we will go to you first. We have a mash up of his statements that dont necessarily agree. Wear a mask, get a mask whether had yyou like the mask r not, they have an impact, they will have an affect. If you can, use the mask, when you can, use the mask. Anything that potentially can help, and that certainly can potentially help is a good thing. In recent weeks we have seen a concerning rise in the cases in many parts of our south. We have embers and fires and big fires, it will unfortunately get worse before it get s before, th virus will disappear it was all today he was going back and forth in his own mind your thoughts, dr. Davidson . Yeah, its concerning to me that six months to the day from the first case of coronavirus in this can country, we are having this kind of a discussion from our president. Theres a lot of we are going to do talk in this briefing and you know, theses are things we should have been doing this was a speech that would have been great in february, maybe early march, if then he said that we should be Wearing Masks and or
