Arrived in kenosha at the corner where 29yearold jacob blake was shot seven times in the back by a Kenosha Police officer, blakes family held an activist event to promote healing in the community. But thats not the reality of kenosha that wants you to see or to hear. Instead, trumps first stop accompanied by his chief henchman attorney general william barr was the protests that followed blakes shooting. Then he met with local police officials. Trump did not meet with blakes family during the visit. He didnt even mention his name either. He repeatedly praised and pledged his support for police and banged on for riots and unrest, accusing local elected officials of encouraging violent protests. A reminder, the vast majority of protests in kenosha have been peaceful, and the violence came from an alleged trump supporter. But go off trump. Reckless farleft politicians continue to push the destructive message that our nation and our Law Enforcement are oppressive or racist. They will throw out any word that comes to them. Actually, we must give far greater support to our Law Enforcement. Trumps visit to kenosha comes less than 24 hours after he not only refused to condemn but actually defended kill rittenhouse, the armed teenage vigilante for whom trump has been kind of sounding like outside counsel more than like a president. In an interview with fox last night, and you cant make this stuff up, trump actually compared Police Officers who shoot people to golfers missing putts. Shooting the guy in the back many times, couldnt you have done something different, couldnt you have wrestled him . In the meantime, he mightve been going for a weapon. And theres a whole big thing there. But they choke, just like in a golf tournament, they miss a threefoot not comparing to golf. Im saying people choke. Not even a friendly host could help him with that one and at his event in wisconsin today, trump once again attributed Police Violence to a few bad apples. I think the police do an incredible job. And i think you do have some bad apples. I think youd agree every once in a while you see something. And you do have the other situation too where theyre under this tremendous pressure and they dont handle it well. They call it choking. And it happens. Ooh, trump went on to claim credit for deploying the National Guard to kenosha, which he in fact did not do. That was Governor Tony Evers because its actually governors who activate the National Guard. But of course trump wouldnt acknowledge that. And neither he nor anyone in his Office Reached out to the Governors Office regarding his visit today. And joining me now is the wisconsin Lieutenant Governor. Donald trump did not reach out to your office. Did he respond to the governors request that he not come even to say, i dont care, im coming anyway . Well, he certainly didnt reach out to my office. And to my knowledge, he didnt respond to the governors request that he didnt know up. But the word no has never stopped donald trump before, as we see this time played out in his visit to kenosha, which, you know, served to create even more tension in a community that is on the road to healing. And lets talk about the event that jacob blakes family held today. How did that event go, and what was the message that you think came out of it . The message was unity. Weve been on this track for a while this past weekend saturday, jacob blakes family held a rally downtown. It was so much solidarity, people of different races, different ages, different generations all coming together to support justice for jacob blake. The following day you saw a cleanum project that was led by a creative projects to come out to support the community to support struggling businesses. But today you see children, food, family, fun, all the things that we want to see in society here in the good times. And that was what i put into my speech. I said lets come together not in the face of tragedy. Lets come together during the good times. Lets celebrate the community that already exists and lets strengthen it, given how awful the situation was last week, i think right now this is the moment that will actually define kenosha, how people are coming together, learning how to live together and understand and appreciate each other. Yeah. I think its great that we got a chance to show those pictures because donald trump is sort of painting a picture of kenosha that is this sort of violent hellscape. But what i saw, kids were getting haircuts and people were doing positive things. There is a report that the Republican Leaders in your state legislature, they did a 30second meeting on monday. Republicans left the session open rather than adjourn it, which allows them to take action at a later date, giving no assuranc assurances they would actually do anything about it. Is Police Reform going to actually happen . Because there is this proposal im assuming there are great proposals to make change, but looks like republicans are not interested. Is anything going to happen . They continue to ignore the needs of the people of the state of wisconsin. It could be the dairy crisis. It could be the climate crisis. It could be unemployment, it could be the health care crisis. All these issues republicans in the legislature continue to ignore. They have not done their job. They have not met in four months. They have completely ignored our state in great times of crisis. There is no crisis too large for the republican majority in the Wisconsin State Legislature to ignore. People have stepped up and demanded that they act. The Milwaukee Bucks said it is time for you to do your job. They have still refused to do so. And they will just sit on the couch because i assume theyre at home right now because they arent doing anything else but to point fingers and say the Evers Administration is either doing or not doing this. Its also important to note that the legislation they were supposed to ethat up in that special session, they were supposed to take up two months ago. That is what happens when you have this extreme gerrymandering that we have in the state of wisconsin right now. It allows them to have even less accountability than we were seeking to have for our Police Officers. There is no transparency. They dont have to face a true electorate. They only have to worry about a primary channel. Im hector. Im a delivery Operations Manager in san diego, california. We were one of the first stations to pilot a fleet of electric vehicles. Were striving to deliver a package with zero emissions into the air. I feel really proud of the impact that has on the environment.

That was a weird sort of eventuality but it happened and we are now back. I want to thank Lieutenant Governor mandela barnes. We sort of lost the shot oh, there he is. I really appreciate you being there and sitting through the little story that just happened. Thank you very much. Meanwhile at todays Community Celebration at the site where jacob blake was shot, blakes uncle said that nothing could justify what happened to jacob. And heres what he said when he was asked about Donald Trumps visit to kenosha. Im sucking up all the pain we have just to stand on our square till we get justice, which means we get indictment and a conviction of the man who shot him seven times in the back. What would you have wanted to tell the president today . We dont have any words for the orange man. All i ask is that he keep his disrespectful foul language away from our family. Joining us are jacob blakes sister and ben crump, attorney for the blake family. I want to say that your comments after what happened to your brother i think were so profound i think for a lot of people. You could have taught a class in two and a half minutes. So i just want to commend you just for the way you expressed the rage i think a lot of people feel. I wonder what you make of the fact that donald trump came to kenosha today. Your uncle justin said it was not necessary for what he called the orange man to talk to your family. Do you agree or disagree . Do you think that donald trump shouldve tried to connect with you guys . Um, well, number one, my main interest is seeking for my brother. Im only interested in talking to people about that issue. I want to see really change and reform in the policies. And if thats not the subject matter, then, i mean, it really is none of my concern. He is the president of this country. He is going to handle whatever business he is going to handle in kenosha. And if its not about getting justice for my brother and all of the africanamericans who have been subjected to this kind of thing, then it really isnt any of my concern. Inside the joe biden sort of campaign, you know, booklet is they want to do something about Police Reform if he is elected president. Would you want to talk to joe biden if he came to kenosha . Im not trying to for anybody. I only want to talk to people that are truly interested in reform. So if joe biden is interested in that, then we can have a conversation. Thats not a problem. I want to do any and everything i possibly can to make sure that my brother didnt get shot seven times in his back and lose all of his lower functioning in vain. This has to stop. Lets talk with the people who are directly involved in Law Enforcement and in what would be or should be seeking justice for your brother for your family. Sheriff david beth, here he is today. He was at that Law Enforcement roundtable. Theres been a lot of black lives matter opposition to him. Thank you for being the president that likes Law Enforcement. On behalf of Law Enforcement i am telling you the group thats here i hope you can feel the love that they have for you and everybody who came. And just for the audience just to know who this man is, this is somebody who in 2018 said some people arent worth saving and that after five people were arrested for shoplifting, he said that they should be locked up in warehouses, build a warehouse and lock them away for the rest of their lives. Do you trust Law Enforcement in kenosha as led by sheriff beth to seek justice for your family . Well, i cant put trust into Law Enforcement as a whole being an africanamerican woman who has been brutalized by police myself. A situation that they should be deescalating instead turn to violence. Ive seen that happen where in plenty of situations all of my life. So there is a disconnect of trust within africanamerican people and the police because of how we are treated on a daily basis. Im not a criminal and i get racially profiled all the time. Im actually anything but a criminal. Im young, im educated, im a business owner. And i still experience that maybe not on the level that my brother now has. But this is something thats been a problem in our country for a long time. And trump nor biden is the solution or the problem. This is a problem that has been ongoing for so many years. And we all know that. But we want to try to keep pointing the finger at these couple of people when its going to take our country as a whole to put a stop to this. Very well said. Ben, to that very point, you and i have been doing this since 2006 i think when the victim was 14 years old in florida. And so i think she is absolutely right. There is a longterm problem. But lets talk about the shortterm problem for just a moment, which is that donald trump is the president. He is sort of setting the tone. And Law Enforcement is very, very supportive of him because he is very, very supportive of them no matter what happens. Here he is talking about whether or not he had a message for jacob blakes family today. I feel terribly for anybody that goes through that. As you know, its under investigation. Its a big thing happening right now. I guess its under local investigation. I hope they come up with the right answer. Its a complicated subject, to be honest with you. I mean, hes sort of claiming he doesnt have any power now. But he also tried to claim that he sent the National Guard to kenosha when he didnt. Its hard to tell whether or not he thinks hes powerful enough to do anything about this. But do you think that a federal intervention can actually start to change the way that police behave . Or do you think that its got to be at a local level, just given all your experience, ben . There absolutely needs to be some thats my idea. But it does have to start locally. But if the local police cannot handle the situation and are not dealing with the situation appropriately, then, yes, obviously someone else needs to step in. And, ben, your thoughts on that as well . Yes. Historically, joy, it has always been the federal government to come in even during the civil rights things with Martin Luther king and john lewis where the locals would not give equal justice under the law to black people, then the federal government would do it. But right now the person who we have in office, it seems that there is nothing that the federal government will hold Law Enforcement accountable for. They support them even when you have something as outrageous being shot seven times in the back. And so we need the systemic reform that we talk about with the justice and policing act, joy, that you know so much about because youve sat at these issues. And until we get this reform, were going to keep saying hashtag after hashtag after hashtag. Unfortunately, i think that is the case. Thank you so much. Really appreciate your time tonight. Ben crump, my friend, always great to talk with you, even under these circumstances. And up next on the reidout, divide and conquer. Trumps usversusthem strategy while threatening to prosecute black lives matter. Plus. Well, biden, i dont even like to mention biden because hes not controlling anything. Who do you think is pulling bidens strings . People that youve never heard of. People that are in the dark shadows. Huh. Trumps grim fairytales are joe biden, another online conspiracy presented as fact by the president. The reidout continues after this. Our Retirement Plan with voya gives us confidence.

And like any good instigator, he was flanked by his chosen hand, attorney general bill barr, whos hes tasked with executing a Retribution Campaign against black lives matter protesters. They were greeted by wisconsin general ron johnson. Trump, who is squarely focused on promoting fear for his own selfinterest, was asked a more consequential question, about systemic racism today. We are focusing on violent actions, but there have been countless nonviolent protests here in wisconsin and across the country this summer. People calling for an end to systemic racism. Do you believe systemic racism is a problem in this country . You just keep getting back to the opposite subject. We should talk about the kind of violence that weve seen in portland and here and other places. Its tremendous violence. Given the opportunity to denounce violence no matter where it comes from yesterday, trump refused. That was an interesting situation. You saw the same tape as i saw. And he was trying to get away from them, i guess, it looks like. And he fell, and then they ver
