1:07 am
with the family of george floyd to ensure we never have anything like this ever occur in the state of texas. >> reporter: leaders across the country are already looking for new ways to repurpose some funds from law enforcement to other areas, like in new york city. >> we're going to be able to take money out of that police force, put it into youth programs and keep them safe. >> reporter: in washington d.c. the mayor said what's been submitted for police funding in her budget is what's needed. she avoided directly answering whether the addition to the mural would be removed. >> we recognize it as expression and especially right now acknowledging and the expression it's important to the discussion we need to have. >> reporter: the family of jean, garner, the family of michael
1:08 am
brown, the family of ahmaud arbery all here. sara sidner, cnn, houston, texas. >> nice to see all those families can come together. the bill would in part make it easier to sue officers who violate the law. it would create a registry to track police misconduct and make lunch i lunching. as we've seen, that slogan has been interpreted to mean all kinds of things from reducing government funds to dismantling the police force to something else. the core concept is to reallocate funds to police and
1:09 am
these programs include services for mental health, domestic violence and homelessness. congresswoman sheila jackson speaks with don lemon about legislation she was supposed to sugge suggest. >> reporter: the tragedy what we have now, don, is we have a commander in chief, a president, that has not reached out his hand to comfort this family in the way that it should or the nation. the protesters are saying we want our country back. we are not going to stop until the most powerful law making body in the united states. i'm proud of the dem krods together took the law enforcement trust and integrity act. working with all of the leadership, we stood up today. we collectively stood up today.
1:10 am
george floyd's bill is the anchor of this legislation and what we've said to the protestors, done, we hear you. ben crump, we hear you. so far u.s. president trump has been vague about the reforms he would like to see, but he and his administration have rejected the idea of defunding the police. >> there won't be defunding. there won't be dismantling of our police. there's not going to be 99% percent of them are great, great people. >> see clear, that was to defund, take money away from police.
1:11 am
mayor de blasio wants to take away money. no, he does not agree with that and the rest of america doesn't agree with that. wanting to defund our police across the country. when you think the left has gone farr, could they possible whether i go further. they want to defund immigration and customs, this is rolling back. >> reporter: the trump administration is also defending the actions of federal law enforcement after they aggressively disbursed peaceful protestors know the white house. they were moved because police wanted a larger security perimeter. >> jim beerman is the police
1:12 am
chief. mr. baron, thanks so much for coming on. >> it was my pleasure. >> no matter what you call it, defund, perform, overall, the public is screaming for change. do you support the change that we're seeing congress propose? >> yeah, i'd like to see the final bill. when we get to that point, the devil's always in the detail. it talks about things they've been talking about for a long time. national registry is good. there are other components of that bill that makes a lot of sense. whether that will become law or not, people that have been in this business for at least the last 20 or so years have been talking about many of the things that would -- >> now we have seen these global
1:13 am
rallies. how do you explain why black people are getting killed by police? do you think there's systemic racism? if not, what else could be causing it. >> clearly there's racism in our society. i think it's very difficult to paint the entire policing as racist. policing is so different, that it is different depending where you are. i have worked with police officers all over the time and then of them would be difficult for me to say we have to take this as seriously as we are. we have to stop talking about this and shift into real sustainable kind of quantum leap
1:14 am
changes. we can't do this again. we can't keep doing this, watching people die at the hands of police. it sounds like it's simple, having cops stop killing people. it takes a toll on them. obviously they came out better. i personally have never spoken tore a cop that wanted to kill someone and then gloat about it. i have a friend who may have paid a personal remark and are thinking about it. >> if you look at the rallies that are mostly peaceful and they are protesting police brutality and there are acts by
1:15 am
the police at these rallies, what does that say about tactics overall. >> obviously we've got to examine those. the police have to ask themselves a very serious situation. the police are defending themselves. let's be honest, there are some situations where some of the agitators are assauling the police. many, many of these image. it breers my heart. the ironic thing is is in instances. what is ironic to me is not only do the protesters not want them
1:16 am
to engage, but cops don't want to be doing this either. homelessness, all of that. police were given these by policy makers and legislators who abdicated their responsibility to solve these problems in some other way and that's it. did you want to be the first responder that issues hflt in some instances some dynamics here we have protesters and cops badling idea degree. people are so outraged by the images they saw they have not been able to communicate on that. when the cops get out of hand and start abusing people. nobody has to listen to that.
1:17 am

1:21 am
u.s. president donald trump is lashing out after a new cnn poll found his job approval rating dropped 7 points last month. the poll finds 38% approve of president trump's job in june that's compared to 45% back in may. that's not all. the poll found 55% think joe biden would lead the nation better in times of crisis compared to 41% for mr. trump. the president who likes to ta taut -- same numbers and worse against crooked hillary. the dems would destroy america. but as mr. trump fumes over his poll numbers, his political
1:22 am
rival is taking on the role as healer in chief. >> jill and i talked to them about it's hard enough to grieve, but it's much harder to do it in public. it's much harder with the whole world watching. what an incredible thing. she said, daddy's going to change the world. i think daddy is going to change the world. it's a great inflection point in terms of civil liberties, civil rights and treating people with dignity. >> president trump is itching to get back to what he does the most, holding rallies. now his campaign manager said he's getting ready to hold a statement in two weeks. brad parscary and the rallies
1:23 am
will begin receive the vows. the university of he is tension. good morning, natasha. thanks for coming on. like you to help us dissect them. looking at recent polls. sle slemp. >> joe biden has a 14 point lead. when asked how he's handling the job, 88% disapprove. 16% latinos. 45% disapprove. how significant are these
1:24 am
numbers? he calls him sleepy joe but it looks like it could be the president that are asleep at the job. >> these numbers are really significant. the polls look terrible for president trump. the recent polls look bad. there are other polls that are reflecting the aim thing, he needs to su crane than he ever really have. we only have a couple of flash points that were much worse. if we were to compare 3w50biden support, he has much more support than hillary clinton. another critical thing if we look back historically, trump's approval rating is on par with busch senior, with carder and these were you -- he has to do something pretty significant because it's all about how he's
1:25 am
handled the coronavirus and race relations and the protests that ensued after george floyd was killed. >> right. he's been criticized widely for how he's handled or mishandled the pandemic. now as you mentioned, we have the george floyd killing. here's another poll asking how mr. trump is handling race relations. 63% say they disapprove, 41% is an issue. this is one that's top of mind in this children's issue. that really is not good for trump, strong majority, they don't think he's doing a good job at dealing with the protests, he's not creating unity. he's not trying to create calm.
1:26 am
he's not exercising any leadership. he's not showing any compassion. what he's really good at is sewing divisions, creating chaos and controversy. looking at that ridiculous tear gas. that wasn't going to unite us. that was deliberately done to create divisions. americans are seeing race and the issue of race is more people. >> and during the time of national crisis. since the death of mr. floyd, does it appear the white house is in a quagmire how to respond outside of that now widely considered deplorable tow tow
1:27 am
op. that's he should be out there trying to understand, trying to listen. that would be one of the key things that the democrats will need to do is to engage with protesters and actually hear them in order to animate their base. trump is incapable of doing this because he takes everything so personally. his tweets are troo ig to fuel a fire rather than having everyone unite and use this as a moment where we can really try to look through our past, our history and really ij gauged with some of them. >> right. i want to point to another poll. watt street journal and 355% would include a congress controlled by democrats. is that a wake-up call to
1:28 am
republicans? >> it should be a wake-up call. most of these republicans have decided that they were going to align themselves with trump completely and ignore some of the ideals that the republican party had advocated for so many years. now we're seeing that gamble may not pay off. they may need to distance themselves from him. all this have is bad news for the trump campaign. he is the reason. this doesn't look good for him. we're seeing more and more top level officials including former secretary of state colin powell come out and say, i'm not vote are for trump. >> 147 days. we'll see how trump gets the momentum back if he does.
