finances. so plenty to get to. we begin with explosive remarks today during a heated hearing on anti-asian hate crimes, two days after that deadly shooting in atlanta amidst a rising wave of anti-asian attacks that have been documented. it was the first hearing in roughly 30 years. that s the context for the republican s remarks. he said he wants justice for the victims in atlanta. he worries about policing free speech and invoked lynching, which broke a fiery rebuke from the democrat testifying. i think there is old sayings in texas about find the rope in texas and get a taller tree. my concern about this hearing is it seems to want to venture into the policing of rhetoric. your president and your party and your colleagues can talk about issues with any other country that you want. but you don t have to do it by putting a bulls eye on the back of asian-americans across the country, on our grandparents, on our kids. this hearing was to address the hurt and pain of o ....

Testimony which is, of course, i think what partly made him credible yesterday. he did not stretch the truth. he really stuck to the facts that he knew as much as he could. so he was careful to say it was changed. he couldn t say without looking at the documents specifically, precisely what the changes were and who made them. so unless he had a specific way of proving that it was the president who changed it and that the lawyers for the president knew that it was false, we may not have gained that much knowledge from it. now he did make it clear that he knew that he was testifying falsely and the president knew he was testifying falsely and he was doing it in his view because the president had sort of winked and nodded to him. and while some people think that s not proof against the president, in addition to watergate, i was a mafia prosecutor. and the mafia doesn t say go kill someone. they don t say go bribe someone. ....
Police be there. is there a stretch thin environment to it all? do we have enough police? are they asked to do too many things. no, and yes. it s hard to recruit police today nobody wants to get killed. i said last week when i was a mafia prosecutor even the mob did not want to mess with law enforcement because of the ire that it brought. i think what s happening today is in addition to that sea change of culture and lack of respect of police you have other factors that escalate the likelihood of violence. have you black lives matter or white supremacists or ho are often anti-cops. have you people like maxine waters, not to pick on her, that could be of either party who are urging confrontation you have animus towards president trump at times. all of this brings flash point and likelihood of reaction to attack a cop much more quickly than it used to be before. i will say law enforcement ....
