certain forms of force. windjana used that taser and when should the user? when kennedy is the and how should the user? it is not acceptable for a police officer to pull up to a playground because a kid was reportedly playing with a gun on the playground and within two seconds shooting twice in the chest. there's a real problem when the police officers, leadership says this is okay, he didn't buy the book. we have a dead 12 year old who was playing with his toy gun at what point is it acceptable for a child to play with his toy if it's not on the playground, i don't know where it is. so let us pass this bill as quickly as we can thank you mr. conyers for your leadership on that as well. don't be fooled, in essence we do want body cams. we thank god for dash cams. want to make sure our policies are in place and what point they have to lay them on. we are pleased officers using

body cams but somehow or another they become obstructed at the time when some of those controversial issues accrue. the policies must be in place to hold him accountable. that must happen. it's not just there. the naacp wants tashkent and body cams. we want down cameras and taser cameras. any of us thought that taser was a nonlethal form of force to utilize me these cases. we just had a case to much ago were a young man was tasered once and then three more times before they stop. the cause of death wasn't that taser froze up his muscles that he fell off the roof it wasn't that he had his head on the corner of occur. it wasn't a child was a taser someone with taste and they died as result of the. he was a taste for times the official cause of death, electrocution. as we talk about these issues we

want to make sure there's a camera on those as well and just that taser, has been making one of those for over 10 years. we can get past that and we needed. we need all those things recorded. he keeps us safe and the police as well. want to make sure we have police accountability review boards. not this whitewash stuff we have been saying. where the head of the police department contains a number of citizens to collect the data and then report back to the police chief what happened. shoot, that's like saying to me if the irs, it's on you. what you can do is we have a problem and what i should do this is great, i will do a full review of my taxes, i will do a duplicate report, i will share with you in 12 thought and double space to make sure you know exactly what happened and i can tell you in every single case not only did i not pay enough taxes, i didn't pay too much taxes, you owe me a whole lot of money back. having internal affairs at

police department oversee police behavior is wrong and it has just a. in essence that happens and is helpful in some cases but not in these cases. the policy is fine, they do to the policy, the kid is dead but hey, that's the way it goes. in a document as a number of policy principles we recommend for local police accountability review board. it includes everything from collecting data, independence. you should not go into a police department to complain about the police officer officer that beap on the street. we've had cases in which we did some testing. in the testing much like we did during the lunch counters of the 1960s. we send well-trained people into police department to ask for the form to complain about police misconduct. i can take the on -- i love google. go on the internet and google these cases and what you will see is a young men well-trained

asking for fo for the report, a form to fill out a as he stood there first, the desk sergeant said i will not give you a form in the shootout in which are complaining about. he said i just wanted to come and fill it out. the sergeant said that again i will not let you be the epidemic what's happening to is my response been to overseas police officers. he said i don't want to talk about it now. iges please want to fill it out, take a dump and fill it out. while this is going on in the police officer walked out the backdoor of the police station. he went around the corner to come in the front door. at the time the young men were still asking precisely for that form, he was tackled to the ground force and asking for the form to complain. it has to stop. the power to subpoena is very important. the power to compel a grand jury is very important. the power to compel the prosecuting attorney to bring the indictment and let's work this out in court is also very

important. as we move, let me say two more things and then i'm out and i look forward to the conversation we're going to have. we just for the first time passed a bill to collect data, collected data in the summer of 2014 on u.s. citizens that divans of police officers. it was not collected before that. we did not have the data to see a pervasive the problem is. because of this, because congress was able to move, because president obama wanted to move as quickly as he could put policies in place, not the regulations have to be promulgated and where to start collecting data on every time one of her children, brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers are killed, harmed by police. if we are going to solve the problem, let's picture with the proper data to make sure we do it right. thank you so much. [applause]

>> i feel the need to pass the offering plate now. been to church. next up is chief richard rick height, before he was achieved in indianapolis, he had a very special position in the baltimore police department the baltimore police department biggest present at the vanguard justice society that was the organization that representative black police officers and baltimore td. i don't feel speak about it today but during q&a and to get a chance to speak to him afterwards ask him about that experience. please join me in welcoming him. [applause] >> i think it's still morning. or good afternoon. good afternoon. i was asking myself how i screwed you started this conversation because we want of a conversation. it's going to be a dialogue. i'm going to be brief, take it out on the course of a 37 year-old top, who remembers as a

child congressman, how we did need police to raise her children and our communities. how many people remember a time, how many people dial 911? raise your hand or how many remember a time when we didn't have 911, racial and. what did we dial? when we need police, what number did we dial? zero. that was a lesson learned as a child when you're told how to dial a phone on the old rotary. those who don't remember the rotary phones, before, you know, the princess on and all the other phones that came after that. we dialed zero on only one condition. what was the condition? in an emergency. the only time you dial zero or

911 is in an emergency. what did we do before we dialed zero? we had to predict the problem, did we? we had to talk about it, we had to share with family and committee. we worked on fixing the problem. the question of to ask is why did we stop fixing the problem? because reality was that time when i se was a young man in his 60s a lot was happening. it was a misuse of power and abuse of our even back then when police were sent to schools to block doorways, colleges and universities, prevent people of color from getting an education. so why would we think we would not have to continue maintaining a sense of order and understanding, we have had conversations before we dialed zero. the other thing i thought was important to note is that in 1968 i remember as a man being in school and i remember officer friendly came to class.

remember officer friendly? talk to and spent time with the. in april 4, 1968 king. i got a chance to see officer friendly in another life. stand on broadway in gary, indiana, as a young man watching him on his different uniform, putting on his like a just, his shield, his helmet and his right to stick, telling us, for us, making us to get off the street because of dr. king's death. i realized officer friendly had more than one job. so the question is what does he have been the community today? how ago by the helical but the business of understanding what that looks like a making a difference. the third thing i want to is that in 1980, thereabouts, the whole notion of community policing took off. willie williams and other people in our community talk about it because is important to talk about police community relationships. i remember in 1937 the first

police officer and baltimore have have a college degree. i also never hearing that people of color came from miles around and stood outside those officers houses, those black officers, and waited for them to go to work because they were proud of the fact they were police officers. why did we stop? why did we stop sending people who will make a difference in our community to law enforcement. why did we stop paying attention to those things that are important in our community before we dial zero or 911? why are we not using this but what are we using the police and the way we know have the tools. 1980s brought about a change in have looked at mental health. what happened in the '80s? what happened to the institutions in the 1980s? they closed them down. so who decided to law

enforcement should be the orderlies, and jails become the institution we take people to? so allah of this is origin base. i'm a believer. where to look at how we started this and how we got here. how many of you willing to let your sons and daughters on the uniform sworn to uphold the constitution to pay for intelligent with a poor showing of prejudice perform the duties of police officers, to the best of my ability, so help me god? raise your hand if you're willing to send the relative to law enforcement today. only a few hands. isn't that special. that's exactly about the number we receive who really, really care about changing the culture of law enforcement. we have to be installed. we can no longer be a spectator sport. we have to be active

participants. i came from baltimore, spent 32 years, second generation this office and we tried to make a difference. ss going about my business i saw difference. us a prejudice. that was that roll call. [laughter] i haven't gotten to the street it. that was that roll call. they were people who -- description of people to get back in those days. talking by the '70s. how people which is a discussion about the natives are restless. who are the natives? so we are saying that those are us, we fought against it and then against it and then parted with greater tonight is to do it as an organization that fought against oppression because it started inside the police department. if we allow that to happen at roll call we knew what you were facing on the street. people like mr. conyers and

hilary and others and naacp and churches who are still behind us and support us to make a difference at a came at a price. that many of us still painted in terms of speaking out. there's a platform to speak out about injustice. so what happens when you speak about? how many of you will support those officers whose speak out about injustice what are we prepared to stand behind them and support them as they speak out? [applause] are we also going to stand behind those officers who go about their business of doing more than putting drugs, guns and money on pool tables talking about high-fiving win in front of immediate assist that is the role of the police. we look at a video, you see it. are we encouraging our kids will walk up to a police officer or when they walk up to a young person, are we encouraging them don't talk to him, you don't

want to be caught sneaking in the neighborhood. you want to be seen talking to the police. are we really willing to do what's necessary to make a difference in our society? if so why did we stop? the other thing i wanted to say, is we move forward in our reforms in policing through vanguard, but nobody can your position to recognize the needs to be leadership and i'm proud of my president thomas and executive director in average they're doing and making sure there's a difference in policing today but here's the problem. we have to have a voice larger than this room. we have to executives in this position. to are not that many people of color, only 83 departments, 1000 or more in terms of, 1000 or more police officers who were to occupy. the question becomes what does the next leader look like to you?

why is it important that no one discussion because i believe that bring about the brain trust necessary, bring about change in our country and in doing it at a price again. we lost one in cincinnati just last week, a very good chief. a hard-working man, deserving of leadership. he should be achieved summer in this country on to help is coming back. it's important to know and attention to those. it comes at a price. lastly in indianapolis i had the opportunity to be deputy director. that's as to be bitchy. i did not want to give back and law enforcement. i was retired when i got a phone call. i saw a young man whose face was really be. i saw a community divided and i saw a fallen police officer in an accident where he struck a motorcycle motorcycle and summarily killed and. there was to fight over there. the question is, if we stand by and watch it happen, the fight

continues and will have chaos in our committee to we have to find a way to bridge the gap but we also to have a conversation about accountability on both sides. we have told police accountable. with transparency, dated. we're pushing for that but we need resources to do that as leaders. we don't have the money necessary to do all that in a 21st century police report but it is the blueprint for change in this country. we'll need your help with grants, we need money to talk about body cams. by the way, everyone loves body cams, right? raise your hand if you want anybody can. raise your hand if you want to see body cams in your community. what about car stops? is a good on car stops? we have consensus. when you're on the street, foot chasing, but what about when it comes to your home? cannot walk in the door, can you trust big brother to come in with a camera and walk through your front door?

scantily clad people wearing scantily clad close. one of the question, my family's scantily clad in the middle of the night, are you going to turn the camera off, chief? was the answer? you want it on or d do you wantt off with your next-door neighbor once that video, by the way last night on the freedom of information act, right? do we give it to him? this is what we need to talk about, policies and practices in law enforcement need to be reviewed. ask ourselves what we really want to see. are we willing to pay for it and support it with their has been ongoing dialogue and am looking forward to the discussion. thank you. [applause] >> the next individua individuay honor to introduce is a man of at least i've got written 17 different hats. benny napoleon from wayne county

michigan is not only law enforcement but also on a lifetime naacp member. also has his own private practice. also a part-time professor. also basketball coach, a mentor, a father, of someone pursuing her masters degree. editor that is progressive in all of us. and some of the buffer ask the question was the last time in a black freedom struggle we as or more states surveillance courts what has happened? so everything that we must be at a new moment. with new leadership so please join me in welcoming sheriff benny napoleon. [applause] good afternoon. thank you, doctor phil. the real dr. phil. i've been told that the attorney general's arrival is imminent

and that i could speak as long as you want to as long as i'm done in five minutes, so i will be brief -- briefer than maybe i had anticipated i'd like to thank congressman conyers and the congressional black caucus for putting together -- [applause] -- is very important discussion. i was interested as i heard phil talk about my career. i think after hearing everybody, i've been doing this 41 years now and it's hard to look back and see that 41 years later we are still having the same discussions. the same very issues with doctor and law enforcement, no matter how progressive we've tried and we've achieved their leadership as african-americans in this great nation, leading many of the largest please departments in this country. we have challenges.

those challenges have not gone unnoticed. we have recruiting issues. what goes in determine how good it is coming out. if you fail at your recruiting effort to bring the right folks and, you are not going to have the right agency. i heard chief hite talk about officer from the. like to of known officer friendly as a young man growing up in the city of detroit, but we didn't have any officer friendly's. we had stress can make it very challenging police agency, ones that did not represent the community that it was serving. that's why recruiting is important. something as simple as being willing to live in the community that you want to police is critical. we no longer require it in the city of detroit.

as i was challenging residency in the elimination of it as a chief of police and going to lawmakers to say this is bad policy, how is it that a person could live 100 miles away from a city that is 90% african-americans in a community that does look anything like the committee that they want to police. and visit that city only 10 times in the life and in the, a police officer in it. there's something wrong with a policy. education is key. training, supervision, discipline from retention. we are in turbulent times, folks. it's worst and was in the '60s. and the southport is the people think that everything is okay -- that's sad part -- some leadership says what you saw is all right.

policy was followed. i can tell you that as i go to my seat, and i want to be brief because i'm going to respect the attorney general, that there's not one person sitting on this podium who believes that selling cigarettes on the streets of this nation should warrant a death sentence. [applause] there is not one person sitting on this dais that believes that running from the police in this country towards a death sentence. there's not one person sitting here who believes that surrendering with your hands up deserve a death sentence. we want to change things, thank you. [applause] >> i was given the high sign that the attorney general's approach with a modicum and i

passed that high sign alone. you will forgive us if we are eager for her arrival, and perhaps eager but a couple of extra minutes. so with that, thank you very much, it is my pleasure while i watched the door to make sure i get to take this pleasure right now, those of us who grew up in communities where there were church elders, mosque elders, they were near the elders who have not just wisdom for us but genius that went untapped. because of the ways in which the eyes of this country avoided surround and dignity of our committee. you all know the person i'm talking about, right? vocal flourish, and whether to nobody in the committee by their aunt florence and uncle willy. that genius in the last generation or so hastert to be

able to come through. i want to introduce one of those geniuses to you in ron scott. ron scott has more years experience of activism and is one of the unsung heroes award from cbc. not just for cofounding the local chapter of the black panther party, not just for sitting on the board of the bond institute of for having genius i can translate experience of communities and make it legible for people who are aliens to it, who are strangers to it. talk about many hats commissions issued a blogging template that you all can get online on what to do about police abuse of force. i highly recommend you talk to about that. you will give you the url when we get to. i have a list -- a list here. ever despite his impressive. this list is five-point font and double-sided so i'll not go through all the awards but do

want you to understand we have really an icon whose time is as we continue to explore and we understand our own history that we will continue to grow and our appreciation. please join me in welcoming ron scott to the dais. [applause] >> thank you very much, and i would like to thank congressman conyers for being on the front lines. i think we met, i met that congressman shortly after he went to congress and we both have been fighting similar battles. i'm glad to be here every year to do this three or four years ago when i was you i mentioned police militarization. people sort of looked at it. they thought about up and said militarization. i said i guarantee you in the next few years you'll be talking about it, you will experience it. that happen. it didn't happen just because it

was seen on television or because somebody caught it on video but we were experiencing at the time. i urge you, when you do with these things, listening to people in your community who are fighting these battles every day, every night all the time and think about those dark alleys i go into. i think about my friends whose mothers are murdered children when ago when i see the brains of people on the floor. i think about those things. it's not a television scenario. it is what we do every day. make your life committed to fighting for justice, safety and the end of violent i want to say this but the into files on both affairs is not just the police because we have another primary entity called peace offices for

life when we intervene in resolving conflict before the police get there. because 80% of the calls they have our domestic violence. i think men on men, women on women and so forth. and we found it, the way we discovered it, had a guy who was shot by the police. before it was over it was because of a domestic violence situation and we didn't have what we used to call the big mama factory. because when ever big mama usually intervenes, she could quell that. she didn't intervene that time so dennis crawford died. baby mama and her family and the family of dennis crawford went to shoot each other. we had to have two funerals. so that helped us develop peace zonezones for life where we intervene at the conflict resolution and mediation of the also to economic development so we can resolve some of our

issues before the police get there. how is it that some evil in this country can resolve conflict before it happens and we turn around and say, okay, got to call the police come that the only option we have. i know that sheriff napoleon would rather get there and resolve it into the resolve. i'm going to be very short. we had an incident on the east side of detroit where two people were going to shoot each other. we intervene, started resolving the conflict. by the time the police got there they said they were called for a fight between 40 people. we told it wasn't a fight between 40 people. by this time the people in the neighborhood, people said no, we intervene. we resolve it. we stopped the fight. agenda for the fight was going to be between? it was from the neighborhood underground pharmaceutical operator -- [laughter] and he had to keep his streak

cred and he stole the bike now the underground pharmaceutical operator is workable we have as a peace park and he's running a bbq outfit. [applause] spewing anti-join the coalition against police brutality. as the sector come to i want to say this loud and clear. we had a federal consent decree. sheriff napoleon forever in detroit for over 10 years fellow law to some degree, police departments that do not comply, and i made on a daily level, they get a lot of money from the justice department. that money from the justice department, me from everything from jackets to whatever else, that money should not go to them when there is a problem.

by domain after a consent decree. i mean when they apply for it. when they apply for a multijurisdictional task force. we just had a guy killed in detroit by ice, multijurisdictional task force your and they spent 113 days before the information was released. no transparency. ice, many of the other agencies involved in that says this young man had a weapon. i don't know whether he did or not. prosecutor didn't go forward with it but nonetheless, 113 days, family members who saw the shooting had to wait before they could get any information. so essentially that money, sheriff, i know some of them are decent, some are not but the money should be withheld until such time as their some clarity

about shooting some confrontations and so. finally, i'm going to close with this. what is policing? we talk about policing. in detroit we have entity that is not police. it's called -- we have an entity come is like a public safety entity that you can establish police authority. in these least authority sometimes are run by security guards. they are not police. we have a guy named dan gilbert was buying up all the proper in detroit. he as the police authority. he has its own police force put in the future you will see it more. you will see more of that, more diminishment of a legal public safety and law enforcement. and more of the police authority. so essentially as we look at policing we ought to expand our framework in terms of how we deal with this particular matter. and i want to say frankly i use

the term police that much anymore. i use public safety. because if you have not read it, sir robert peel who had nine principles, officers, nine principles of policing. started in what became the london metropolitan police department in 1829. and he said that people are the police, and the police are the people. we only spent those things to police that we allow them to do. you have to put big mama back in the equation. you have to make sure that we resolve these things ourselves. and we have to make sure that we have strong on resolving armed conflicts as we are talking about the police who are shooting at us. taser international, i hate to say this, taser international come and where the case was a kid that was killed, taser

international does virtually all of the video in relationship to the weapons and they're getting rich and their our major lobbies. when we talk about body cams and hands on guns, think about you giving with a multibillion dollar industry. so look for some black folks otherwise that do the same thing that have a more aggressive agenda than taser international. i say to you goodbye, but i say good luck in your communities with oversight because you must have oversight. if you don't have that, i mean, more than a review board. i'm not disagreeing but more that the review board. home in alexandria, l.a. america the city of detroit started the police commission. it has subpoena power. it deals with hiring.

it deals with the fact that our problem is we are underdeveloped economically. and so, therefore, when jon jones in the richest suburb when, like an bloomfield hills a kid walks down the street with a gun and because he is open carry rights, they don't shoot the kid, white kid. they don't take into jail. he wins it. why? because of jon jones parents live on lone pine road and they've got some money. and if that cop goes up and does anything he won't have a job. we need to get to the economic point that booker t. washington said, the bottom of everything is economics. if we can control our economics, we control our communities. [applause] >> so we have some questions -- >> the title of the book is --

[inaudible] >> okay. so we have some questions for our distinguished brain trust the panel. i'm going to start with one for deray and then i would like others to respond as well. if we imagine that there is racism in policing, right, everything in this room we don't necessarily have to imagine, then why would also imagine it isn't racism in housing, and education, in health care and in employment? and if there's racism in all of these things that happened upstream, before any contact with law enforcement, how is it that they've avoided the spotlight as we've been talking about police reform? so ask this question first to deray, into hilary, how do we widen the lens to include the broader language of the history

of racial oppression in racial accountability of the country? >> i say ferguson it was mike's body link and the length of the people out industry bigger something about the physical presence of the oppression of the police, the catalyst for us. i do think the issue of police files is often a proxy for the other way the state is fine with people and as such it this euro reminded. like to see the police and their in communities in ways that education is like amorphous. housing is amorphous but lord knows police are touching and feeling people which is sort of the crisis but i think this is an entry point to larger conversation by don't think people are doing it now but if you think this is like place to start. i mindful of the fact it was a pair of the place that got people into the streets. i think we use this moment as an interest to talk about rod anderson to violence. like you said before, police

violence does not more than broken bodies, it's about broken teachers and broken homes and about the police rate more than just bothers. you have to talk about that. i think the conversation is not as complex as it could be when we talk about the range of files but i think the police aren't interested because they are the visceral reminders of how the state of practice people. >> let me begin by saying a number of things. first bishop policing and racial profiling has been going on for some time. as a matter of fact, in the work we've done under first the clinton administration was actually helpful in bringing major conference with law enforcement, with civil rights organizations and others were able to address many of those concerns. it was under that emphasis that i spoke to jim demint was the attorney general for the first time. she made about include as we talk about policing went to address the issue of racial bias. she said that back then, that

was the '90s, y'all. which he said was policing cannot effectively don't have the establishment of the trust and perception of integrity by law enforcement officials. these men and women, of course want to walk ambition personified that trust and integrity necessary for effectiveness. but to go on with the question, it does expand to all other areas but is not an extraordinary thing as secretary castro is that the naacp national convention to talk about furthering their housing because the david need to be collected there as well. they played a game. what that means is they are saying if you can't show intent to discriminate come in essence if you can't read someone's mind, it is not discrimination. that's the argument they make. but because of the work that was done by the previous secretary of housing and now castro, the issue of the effect carries the

day. no matter what you said your intent was, if it is discriminatory, it has to stop the people have to be held accountable. in the department of education we talk about this in issues, talking about our children get arrested at high numbers of so-called resource officers are put in a local school as an effect quite frankly is called by the challenge is not a columbine problem. our children get shot on their way to and from school. the issue in school is to protect -- that has to start on the outside. quite frankly actually move depreciating budgets that assistant principal for discipline was taken out of the equation. that was one of the first jobs cut. we've got money t to do resource officers ethic and thickened with the principle used to do. except they're not trained for that kind of counseling. they are trained to address

issues of criminals and that's why with a but criminality in our schools we asked a group of resource officers what's the number one reason that you interest a kid? want to know one reason she put them handcuffs and taken county jail ask they say the number one reason is actually crimes of defiance. crimes of defiance. that kids going through puberty, opened her mouth and say golfing at the wrong time and now it's a criminal offense going off to chew. we are very delighted that assistant secretary for education did a report on the issue that would utilize testing the issue of employment. employment dates and major role as well. it is no surprise as we talk about employment discrimination that happens us with different levels that we do have right now for the time being it's on this administration in power, secretary clinton it gets it. tom perez had sat down with a

time and time again to talk about the issues of being able to more forcefully -- up as a major role. it is a constant issue. they are all tied together. >> so i agree. agree. i got agree. i don't think it's forgotten anything would look at fighting crime, crime reduction, what you talk about the root causes and they think that's what the split comes. if we keep trying to arrest him if i get these were responding to the sentence of koran verses the root causes of the current look at the root cause and education does better. when a child does not read by third grade of auckland of incarceration grows exponentially. when a future president are

determined based on third grade reading levels. want to choke the suspended the likelihood of incarceration grows. these are the root causes and would look at crime reduction, it can't simply be taken people to jail to disrupt those root causes to change those. we know it job for person after person reduce recidivism more so than anything else. when we look at the systems we have to make sure, i think it might've been deray has said this, too often we focus on individual officers and would officers need to be held accountable. and as a higher standard. we have systems in place that even though you could officers bill about outcomes because the system was designed to the outcome anyway. we need to take a look at the system put the system on education and quite frankly to sheriff napoleon spark of the chief of police can be the loudest voice not just some policing issues but on public safety issues. advocating for education so you're focused on kids and

thereby become advocating for jobs and for social justice and making sure the community is resources needed. wielder hotspot policing, up with the cops whether crime is that when someone mention an it should be the cops, should be the resources. instead of putting 100 cops, how about 100 jobs? how about 100 teachers? that is community policing. if we do that i was also community policing cannot be done in isolation. it must be a subset of governance. entire city government is tied to public safety. on account of them mayor, public works, recreation. everyone has something to do with public safety. we will realize police reform is about criminal justice reform. we have to take a look at the sentencing reform, how we're putting people in show problem and why. take a look at our incarceration rates.

there's a lot of devastation that comes with existing policies and practices and women sometimes get in your focus on just the police we may lose focus of in which larger challenge of the police are the most visible form of government. never forget this, also the greatest exertion of government power would be the police before so it was held in check, must be held accountable. [applause] >> next question is for sheriff napoleon and chief hite. you both are innovators and leaders in getting your police department to shift its culture to culture that recognizes the importance of the human dignity of the committee they please. can you please talk about concrete things that police department's can do and community activists can ask for, and demand that will incentivize the right kind of behavior, the right kind of mindset for our officers in our most vulnerable communities? >> one of the first things as i

talked about earlier on is we have to focus on who we bring into law enforcement. that has to be the absolute fundamental first focus. wrapped around a solid recruiting efforts recruiting people into agencies that have the right temperament and down and understand that kind of commitment they need to the community. we have to do that. if you bring brad -- bad people in, you have bad people the agency. recruiting is where i believe we really need to certainly focus. rep to focus on the training and the mindset of the people who trained. because the people are training camp if you're rewarding and your advocating a certain type of conduct and support a certain type of conduct, and i can tell you any of us who have led a police agency, i at 5200 people. that is a surefire over 1000 that is a difficult thing. as dollars become scarce they

cut back on the most fundamental things that trying to do. don't give you the time to make sure you recruiting the right people. don't give you the time to make sure you are training at the right people. not getting a proper supervision. and even unfortunately i've had people who control my budget say things like community outreach isn't important. i'm not talking about 10 years ago. i'm talking about in light of what's going on in the country today. i said before commission assisted outreach can we just don't have the money for that but yet they want you to try to become a part of the community. it got to focus on those things and don't leave the chief to talk about -- >> i could say develop -- ditto because i think you're right. how many of the visit the training academy for some of you are part of a tiny? we made it clear early on that

we need you to help teach police officers how to please. i've learned how to police on the community. one quarter was one in the academy. that three quarters were warned working with you. so early on with committee conversation. i've done close to 200 where we have conversations about policing in neighborhoods. we have very distinct policing methods but at the same time we have a different community. the nomenclature is different in every community. in indianapolis we have a suburban style, and urban and we have the boutique policing which is a special session of those who live downtown expect them to pay higher rents come to expect police to be there at the drop of a dime. the question becomes what do you want in terms of accountable of your police officer? can we bring the children of? we could detention centers for

juveniles. is it okay to put a young person in the car to bring it home, what are our policies? can i talk to your children without them feeling you say don't talk to the police officer, we don't snitch. or can we talk to them about fact i want you to be a good young man, what you do group bigger, large and strong. i don't want you to be afraid of me. i wanted the issue with a toy otherwise. i care about you. want you to go up to do what you virtue and make sure you understand i.t. can we had that conversation with young people? anin the end of the process are either to make sure the process is completed? we started in the '60s down this pathway. we saw bad policing. we stopped. we can do that again. we have to accountability. it hasn't happened. >> i don't believe that a person

who'who is willing to come intoa community and police it should be unwilling to live in the same community. [applause] we want people for spiritedness, not a venture. too many cop shows show the spirit of adventure. that's not reality. not in our world. most of it is monday. we have to talk about service to you, not just adventure. >> it is not my distinct pleasure to introduce the 83rd attorney general of the united states, came in on april 27, 2015, for those of you who watched the nomination process. it seemed like she was nominated april 27, 1915. she's a former u.s. attorney, a twice over harvard graduate, and for me personally i've to say most importantly, the daughter

of the north carolina board library from as and why. she has inherited a department of justice that has done historic things and it is imposition to take this country and brand-new directions that will feel centuries old damages. please join me in welcoming attorney general loretta lynch. [cheers and applause] >> any second now. [laughter] >> okay. spent i know she felt that in the spirit.

>> [inaudible conversations] [applause] >> attorney general lynch. [applause] [cheers and applause]

>> well, thank you all so much. thank you so much for that warm welcome. thank you for your patience. i'm not usually running this late, but i understand that you have had some excellent presentations before me. i see a number of old friends and hope for new friends on this panel. great voices all in our common struggle. and so i think you have had excellent presentations and i'm just sorry i had to miss so many of them. so looking forward to reading the recap of this because there's so many important issues. daca, such a pleasure to meet you get your leadership at ucla on the center for policing equity is something that is not only vital in terms of what we need today, it really is the key to a lot of issues that we faced. one of the get the agenda for the entire cbc foundation event,

i see so many different panel of some different issues but they all come together in regards to the central issue of our communities relationship with law enforcement and whether government writ large. summit of the injuries -- issues were tackling all this week come back to the essential issue but as i think it's a much for giving me a few minutes to talk to you this afternoon about what the department of justice is doing in this important area. because i wanted that i view it as one of my main priorities as attorney general of the united states. i know congressman condit had to go and vote. is also pulled in many different direction but i want to thank him and his staff for the invitation to this event as well as% at this particular panel and, of course, the congressman's lifetime of service to these issues. he has been in this fight for a long time. a long time. [applause]

not just here on the panel but voucher in the audience. i see a lot of fighters. i see a lot of people hope want a lot of lines. and so i thank you for that as well. [applause] whether you have been here for your or whether you are new to it -- we must all come together

around these important issues. because while we have made just extraordinary progress since the cbc was founded over 40 years ago, it is clear that we have so much more work to do. in the recent weeks and months we've seen these reminders. does not just the overall philosophy always say there's more work to do, keep marching. we have seen it. we have seen it played out in very, very stark and very painful reality captured for the world to see. we've experienced tragedies that make it clear that this fight for our common welfare goes on. i will tell you that what hurts me so much in my current role is that we have seen in this trust between our law enforcement officers and our communities also deepened. at a time when not that it always hasn't been the case but at a time when our communities need perhaps more than any other time to protection and the resources that law enforcement

is committed and sworn to bring to bear. it is always been my view that the essential role not just a government that of law enforcement in particular is the protection of people who don't have anyone else to call on. you know those times in the middle of the night when people are cold and afraid and they know that someone is out there who mean stenholm, we have someone on whom to call. we have to be able to trust and rely upon those individuals to come when we call into also look out for us when they do arrive. this isn't a shadow you're talking about today not just on this panel but so many others but in this panel in particular you have the voices to do it. you've got the experience and you've got the people who also provide you the perspective of what it feels like to be left out of that dynamic of protection, to be left out of that umbrella in that circle of

guardianship that every american is entitled to. it is such an important voice today. it's also not a new issue of the it issue of the it was an issue history deep and very personal for me. at some of you may know, i am fortunate enough to have my father here with me this week. [applause] this issue is generations old and don't remember what the things i remember my father telling me about, you all talk about your grandparents and aunts and uncle and family. that's what makes you who you are. that's how you know what the lynches are like, what the heresies are like and are both stubborn, just so you know. but i remember my father telling me about his father, about my grandfather, minister, third grade education, no money, eight children, dirt poor, living in rural north carolina in the 1930s when my father was born.

even with all of those things stacked against him, built his own church beside his house, called it lynches chop. that's what you can do we build a church your self. one of the things my father remembers is that there were times when he was a young boy in the '30s when people in the community, black people in the committee were in trouble, as my grandfather used to say, caught up in the clutches of a law. and dignity way to go. they would come to my grandfather and he would help-until they could lead to the committee. sometimes the ship would come by the house and ask my grandfath grandfather, have you seen so-and-so? my grandfather would say not lately. [laughter] so-and-so is hiding in a closet or hiding in the floorboards. because in those days 1930s north carolina, there was no justice in the dark of night on a rural road. no miranda warnings.

no procedural protections. not at the things we take for granted today. and so despite what happened with these individuals my grandfather knew that sometimes are to preserve the fight for justice into the future we had to take action animal. we had to take action animal. [applause] >> of course things are much better now and we all get reminded of that. when we ever we bring these issues you notice when you talk about these issues, whether they are of race in general or police issues in particular, when you talk about the current pain that the minority community is feeling, and we are feeling it very deeply, people always say things are much better now, and they are. they are. in addition to giving you my apologies for being late today i can to i was late today because i do meeting with the president that ran over. i would never have been able to

say that even five years ago. and the fact that my grandfather who fought so hard for justice in his own way would never have conceived that his granddaughter to the little girl he used to take out in the fields and show what tobacco looked like, what actually be sitting in a meeting with the president of the united states. ..

even if it may not seem that way. even if it seems a very painful time because we see these issues much more clearly. this takes me back to the early days of the civil rights movement. they couldn't get a job and have a cup of coffee. and when the advent of television. in the protest and when the world saw what was happening that police dogs were put on

little children. that galvanized the conscience of the world and gave the movement and momentum to make changes, to give us have a right to act, a voting rights act and give his desegregation and craft strategies that lawyers use you for the supreme court. now we are in a similar moment with so many images we see are so painful, but they are in use to show the world what people in minority community have known her years about the different levels of interaction of both respect and participation in the system that african-americans have an african-americans feel. as painful as it is to watch someone suffering or possibly dying, and the result has been an opening of a discussion in ways we've not had insignificant

years. it is on us to seize the moment. the onus is on not to continue the discussion and the debate. now the world knows what we always knew, that people in ferguson would be attacked for walking down the street in being the wrong color. the world knows that we always knew the young men of color interaction with the police are fundamentally different than other children's and as parents and siblings and family members that we have ours on stability to point this out and talk about it as well as educate children. we also have to acknowledge more than the actions because some and goes on as well, something deeper when we had situations. we have to acknowledge the anger and despair, the feelings that

develop. you talk about is wanting to handle things in a certain way and that is true. this country was built on peaceful protests. it has achieved a great deal of change. we also have to acknowledge the anger in this or that develops when the concerns renounce the on tape are still pushed aside by so many people as they don't insist. you have to acknowledge the pain that develop. you have to acknowledge the feeling when people say i don't think it was that bad. well i don't think they meant to outweigh. it just didn't happen. so what not happen to people, to a people, to our people time and time again, you have within our community a sense of disconnection and despair that is as dangerous as any wallet or in a club.

it absolutely is. [applause] but of course i'm not the first to note that honestly i would refer you back to the work of art by ralph ellison invisible man. and you will see all of that fair and you'll see the events well. of course the reason we have to deal with these issues is the course because that's always asked that the movement 50 years ago in the issues now, and it is our children bearing the brunt of these issues. it is our children growing up without that sense of connection, without the sense of protection and security that they are entitled to have and we want them to have. one of the things that i'm doing a city community policing tour and going a different earth fiction that i've had trouble

and challenging relationships between the police in the community, between five and 10 years ago. lazio, shooting incident, dissent agreed with the wisconsin to exert either actual persuasion or litigation in order to manage unconstitutional policing practices. there are jurisdictions that turn the corner. when i talk to people about how a life that is a case. things are still not perfect. there are still people who feel on the fringes of what we tried to achieve for them and those are the boys that want to hear the most because those are the voices i have to address. pittsburgh i was talking to the young people, high schools and to date tell you what is happening in their daily lives and what they deem more important than how it makes them feel. i was talking to a young man who told me i was afraid to walk in the pittsburgh neighborhood.

he described it as a rough neighborhood and he felt threatened by forces around him who had other agendas, returning to draw him into gang life and violent or possibly put them in the way of being accidentally caught in crossfire. when he told me the most painful thing was that it wasn't just the other residents who frighten him, who clearly were not on the path he was on, he was excelling in school with a bright future. he was also afraid to call the police when he felt that way. he didn't know if they could tell the difference between him and the people trying to do him harm. what i say is we have to acknowledge no one should feel that way, not in america, not today. not our children. those of us who spent a career in law enforcement, anyone in law enforcement who hears that

should say i do not want that fearing any child of mine because they are all our children. they all have to be in this has to be the starting point for our work. to our children feel safe and if not, what are we doing to change dynamic for them? to make them feel there are people in forces looking out for them in coming into the community to protect them. not only does the department of justice recognized the issue, we are determined to do our part to present the unequal application and end violence and conflict and heal divisions in our neighborhood have resulted in still nice and broken communities. i very much be our role is working to amplify voices here in this room.

community, resonant, law enforcement of the act to the salt lake. we also worked to deliver solutions and cultivate opportunities to let people come together and do the real work, the hard work of safer communities in a more just society. we know our work is not done and we have to do more. one of my top priorities as attorney general is dealing with the breakdown in trust between law enforcement communities we are sworn to serve as spent a lot of time talking to both sides of the debate and people who had these experiences with law enforcement. it's a gift when someone shares their pain with you and the ability to understand what happened to them and understand what they need. i've also talked to law

enforcement officers who say what i want to do is attack people and i became a cop because someone helped me why some people in my community going the wrong way and i want to prevent that and increasingly i became a cop because they see the way things are going and i want to make it better. bringing the voices together and let them find a place to talk and interact is a key part of what the department of justice is looking to do. at the end of the day we are all part of the community and it's from our community that the responsibility grows and should have course. a number of things we're doing by way of initiative. take a few minutes and talk about that. this is a comprehensive approach to training and policy research intended to advance procedural

justice and promote reconciliation and eliminate implicit biases. try to go to the roots of the problems we see. required reading for their entire department. required reading because they know in order to prevent the problems of ferguson you have to not only acknowledge them, but move away from those root causes. our office but justice is partnering with agencies at the state and local levels and threw them provide grants and training

an office of policing services and ron davis, my outstanding director is here helping the higher officers, train officers to promote safety and wellness into support for state and local and tribal law enforcement agencies as they implement the recommendations of president obama's task force on 21st century policing which carries within it many of the community policing that we've seen the effect is over the years. those of us who are from new york know about nobleness organizations. our president is here as well, but also a cadre of devoted and dedicated african-american officers. lloyd sealy who pioneered the concept of knowing the people you are sworn to protect,

becoming a part of the community, it is your obligation to serve provide real service and will protection. through the task force, we see to extend the principles across the country and we've been hearing from extraordinary individuals and exceptional organization that the once represented on this panel. the key -- i will say the biggest lesson i've seen is i think -- i don't know, but i think people in this room know the real solutions calm from the places seen problems. this is not a problem solved by washington imposing policy. it will be solid bass empowering people living in these areas where problems are occurring to work through these issues by providing resources and assistance for people to come to the solutions that lead to better days. i was talking with my father

this morning and say in how the conference is going in the panels going and what was the best part. what is said to me does not surprise me. the best part in every panel he is seen in its true of today, people talk about real lives and real issues. not just a study being brought to bear. they talk about real problems and resolutions for them. that is where community policing is so important. i've been to a number of cities and am looking forward to going to the west coast and extending the tour to look at best practices, ways in which people have found these challenging situations. not a perfect solution but a working solution and looking forward to being able to share this adult communities. are we doing what the justice

department, we also have to bolster trust in institutions that make up our institution and we do that. this is an initiative launched two years ago by my predecessor and great friend comes attorney general eric holder. [applause] who took a visionary approach across the justices and looked at ways in which we may have had well-meaning programs 20 years ago but looked at the consequences of the actions we took them on our communities now. we talk about the over incarceration of young men coming young men of color for other offenses that are so decimated our communities. not just problems of the drugs himself, the removal from

communities and families has been a hold created. the issue is how can we use our power and authority, what can we do to fill the hole and frankly we feel we do that in a way that protects public safety that takes into account important issues in the smart on crime initiative has been a rare point of bipartisan accord is to talk about the financial press that they were from the human capital and cost it. federal prosecutors now use resources to bring the most serious wrongdoers to justice, but using the discretion to find more effective ways, drug courts, focusing alternatives to incarceration, those for whom

other methods and still provide personal accountability without the devastating consequences we've seen in the past. of course the benefit has done is the overall crime rate has declined for the first time in four decades the policy continued strong and will continue. we are also focusing on reentry because as we work out ways -- [applause] as we work out ways for these young people to return home, some of them will not be so young when they get out. as we work out ways for them to return home, we have to also work out ways for them to rebuild a home. we have to work out ways for them to return to notch his families and communities, but to society whether through education programs in prison when just a month ago i stood the secretary of education arne duncan as he announced a pilot

program to allow colleges to utilize poker in for those incarcerated because we've seen one of the greatest prevention of recidivism are someone pulled back and not life as an education with an opportunity once they are released. [applause] of course it's not participating in family and community, society. the ultimate participation in the american experiment called is of course the right to vote. that is why the department of justice continuous to call for allstate to revisit the issue of disenfranchisement. let them vote. let them vote. [applause] we are talking about our

country's most sacred right and protection of voting right cause for most sacred engagement and voting rights cases in particular i'm proud to say the justice department has participated in 100 voting cases over the course of the obama administration. we are all aware of the supreme court's 2013th vision in shelby county to take a key provision of the voting rights act that stood for 50 years and worked and allowed the provision of the department to look at that she is before they were enacted in determining the impact of the minority communities voting rights, whether a dilution of diminution thereof and with that we were able to prevent the role of the spray. the supreme court has spoken and with lost part, but only part of the voting rights act and we've kept it to charge and we have

not been idle. recently we successfully challenged texas district photo i.d. law. [applause] in a separate action we had to texas statewide redistricting plan and in my home state of north carolina, we are challenging several provisions of the state law that curbs early voting and restrict same-day registration as the president has said why do we want to restrict the right to vote, free and independent and the envy of other countries when they talk about the benefit, one of the things you hear when you travel outside the country is frankly they are off at the fact we can have a peaceful transition of power we have every four or eight years

because we invest in this democracy. so why do we want to do anything to curtail anyone's participation in what has been an example to the world and has to be the beacon we used to ensure freedom in this country. but the message from the department of justice cleared, we will not stop in these efforts. we will not rest until we have secured the right to vote for every eligible american. [applause] of course that extends beyond the courtroom working with many members sponsoring this wonderful weekend. we promoted legislative proposals to restore the voting rights act to its full and proper. a [applause] we also propose legislation that would expand access to polling

places for those on indian reservations and alaska native villages and other tribal lands. we cannot have a situation in this country were original americans are kept out of participation in the bounties of this land. [applause] we do this also through the monitor federal election and was actively enforced the registration act to protect those registering to vote as well as writes of uniformed members of military and overseas citizens who seek to vote as well, keeping onto what makes them quintessentially american. we will always protect their rights as well. of course the right to vote follows from one of her nation most fundamental promises that no one should have to endure discrimination or unfair

treatment a son who they are, where they live. the justice department is proud to stand on the front lines of the fight against hatred and intolerance. we have tools affect to end the hate crimes prevention sign into law by our president, president obama in 2009. [applause] we have enhanced our ability for those who victimize fellow americans because of who they are and we've worked with our state and local partners to make sure hate crimes are identified and investigated and we continue to bring and will continue to bring several hundred federal hate crime charges including the murderers of nine -- nine people of faith

[applause] in charleston, south carolina just a few ago. for many of us as we sat and watched the event, we watch the aftermath and it took us back to a time we thought was over. this is a new day. look is in the white house did look is at the department of justice. without windows path the stark reminders that there were people there who live in a world of hate and will seek to act on it. without we must pass the history and left behind the pure intimidation and cruelty and most common than that trying key. without we moved away from that. for many of us it took us back to another time without we had erased away forever. a time when 52 years ago this week for little girls went to church one morning.

they went to sunday school one weekend and attending a sermon entitled to look at for days and they didn't come home that day. they didn't come home to those for families who live on with the loss of their children who suffer the bomb at the 15th st. at this church in birmingham. days after the bombing, 52 years ago i was four years old and my father of all parents wondered how do i protect my children and keep them safe not just from their family next door but the world that wants to tell them they are listening. they were the ones to tell them they don't matter and that they are simply cannon fire. like all parents decided he had to keep working, keep marching,

keep pushing, keep advancing. there were no guarantees 52 years ago. people did not know if we reckon to get a civil rights act. nothing was guaranteed but with a deep faith and commitment, and people push for the same point again in the days just after the bombing, more than 8000 people, people of all colors, create, backgrounds attended a memorial service for the young vic dems and one of the individuals most reverend dr. martin luther king jr. of course he was familiar not just at the time, the church in with the families and not just the families, but the four little girls and selves. at a time of great tragedy and

great challenge, he urged his fellow citizens to channel their grief, harness energy and said we have to work passionately and i'm with unseemly for the realization of the american dream. people sitting in the pews on that dark day 52 years ago as my father looked at his children and wondered how they could've imagined the progress we've made thanks to their efforts that would follow. they could hardly have imagined the congressional black caucus itself but the size and strength. they could've imagined this weekend after 40 years of comment and thought and philosophy of teaching and couldn't see who would be sitting in the white house today and the attorney general 52 years ago and said i have to protect. they knew they were better days

coming. they knew that if they push forward they could move past the pain every bomb that move towards church in the work wasn't over just as sars is not also. we have more work to do and we are here today to get started. by that i mean people here will continue. those people younger will join in and we keep pushing ahead because every american has the right to grow up in a community in a world that offers not just responsibilities to uphold opportunities to succeed because every american has the rights of any country that will support them and protect them matter where they live, what they look like or who they are. every american has the right to adjust the system that gives them a fair opportunity to grow, to learn.

[applause] and to contribute. every american has the right to make his or her voice heard. this isn't just what i believe are you believe. it is what this country believes. it is what this country needs, what the society believes in what america has always promised to every man, woman and child in every community across the nation. i'm here to pledge today either i ignore the department i am so proud to lead will ever abandon our work to make the promise real. we need your help in partnership just as they have in decades past to bring our country closer to its highest ideals. with accountancy dark days and times. just as they did then, they saw strength, spirit, fellowship and

commitment and a solid ice each from a lookout over the extraordinary gathering today and i saw what i see, which is people that will not be stopped, people that will not be silenced. [applause] people that will not be held back and the people that will always reach back and monday and can pull someone along with them because that is what they do. that is how we've made america great today. that is how we make america live up to promises to all of us and that is how we go forward and all the challenges we have to face. thank you for your time. thank you for your attention. thank you for your commitment to this important effort. [applause]

[applause] >> there is nothing that should follow that on this panel. i am glad that a panel dominated by men we had a woman to walk atop your doctor or melissa perry will become inept to to lead the next section. thank you very much. >> on behalf of congressman conyers, we thank all of our panelists and will transition to a next panel on protecting the right to govern. [inaudible conversations]

>> good evening, ladies and gentlemen. am speaking to you tonight at a very serious moment. the cabin is convenient and congress is meeting with the president. the state department and army and navy officials have met all afternoon at about, japanese investors talking to the president at the very time japan's airships are bombing our citizens in hawaii and the philippines and thinking one of our =tranfour on its way to hawaii. members of congress will have a full report and be ready for

steering refugee crisis. this is 50 minute. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> fantastic! we love you, new hampshire. thank you, everybody. what a great welcome. sit down, relax. we will be here for a while. you know, i said today as you know we came from mobile, alabama to which there were 31,000 people. 31,000.

[cheers and applause] then we just left dallas where we were in the great mavericks, as you know, the mavericks building, a basketball team, wonderful team and mark cuban was here tonight. we know mark. good guy. what happened as he said what about using the arena. is that how much do we have, how many seeds. they filled it up in two days. i've been flew to dallas making speeches. we have to make our country great again. i then flew to a very nice place, los angeles and we went to the uss iowa and we were honored by a great score that gave me an endorsement.

they endorsed me. i love the vets. we have a lot of that here tonight. [cheers and applause] we have a lot of that. but on the uss iowa, that is some ship right away, they don't build them like that anymore, but they endorsed me and then i flew last night we had a little thing called the debate at the reagan library. it was an amazing game. we had an incredible time. thank you. i'll tell you the problem. it did so well that cnn said let's make it an hour longer. can you believe this? that debate was three hours. it felt like more than that. why did they do that?

they did it because they wanted more revenue from the commercials. isn't that terrible? terrible. i think it's terrible. and the money should have gone to the vet, right? they made a lot of money. in the end it was an incredible time and we had an incredible time. look at this. we just wrote this down. "time" magazine wrote who won the debate last night. so "time" magazine, 114th thousand votes. trump 56, carly fiorina -- then

drudge, we love drudge. donald trump 51%. we had a total of 668,000 votes cast. trump 668,000, 51%. sakic, carly fiorina, much less in rubio and cruise and i'm not going to mention the next name because i don't like them very much. ♪ 's way ahead. i like it too. donald trump first place by a lot. donald trump 52%. that's a lot when you have all of these guys. it's not against you people. donald trump 52%. then you had late. so be it a great time.

you don't read about that so much in television. coming out, fox treated me shabbily. they treated me shabbily. that's okay. cnn a little bit better. they treated me a little bit better, but the end result is people know what happened. it was an incredible time and we are going to do something very special. there's a great movement going on where people want to see her country be great again. they want to see things happening, the right things happening and they want everybody to get together, work, work. people of new hampshire love to work. don't you love to wear? so i had a little news yesterday because he is a great person. we love winners, right? tom brady. [cheers and applause]

said tom is this incredible guy, and total champion and didn't want to tell me about it. he endorsed me every day. -- yesterday. when you get tom, you are getting a champion. we have some others that i won't mention them now, but we have so many people endorsing. it's very interesting, coach ditka in chicago, people i don't even know coming out in favor of trump because they want to see the right thing happen. when cnn did a poll recently, they had a couple categories. one was leadership. not even a contest. so much higher than everybody else. leadership way through. the other one is a little thing called the economy of jobs.

the only thing they didn't love is my personality. can you believe it? so here's what happened. we went to dallas. i went to mobile, alabama, uss iowa making speeches all over the place. the debate last night was exciting. you know what we'll do tonight? what's to question and there. i will say a few words and then do questions in the air. make a vicious, violent, horrible questions. how many cameras are like? yeah, there's a lot of them. every time i speak notes on my television. it's a simple business, ratings. if i didn't get ratings, the scammers would not be on. so when you're asked your question can remember you were on my television.

so we'll talk for a couple minutes. military, so strong, so great, so powerful. we'll probably never have used it. but we're going to have it because right now it's happening in the world, we need that military protection and will habit of trump is the lack of president. that i can tell you. that i can tell you. [cheers and applause] as part of that because i consider it part, but we are taking care of our bad and the vets will be so happy. they loved me anyway. i'm just telling you. i've been here many times. stand up. have i been up here many times with my guy? we are going to take care of things. so many beds in new hampshire and they are not treated right. but they are not treated write anywhere.

they had the longest waiting the longest week in a waiting room that anyone can remember. they wait three days, four days, five days. not going to happen anymore. we are going to come out with a plan for one of the things we do when you have to wait, you will go to private practice. you will go to private hospitals. we will take care of cause and believe me it will be less expensive and you get much better service but you're not waiting room for five and six in seven days to take care of a condition that can be done immediately. it's not cannot happen. it is not going to happen. the other thing i want to dwell on for two seconds and you probably heard that we are going to build a wall at the border. [cheers and applause]

and people are going to come into this country, that they are going to come in legally. they are going to be legal. they will come in legally to our country. so when i announced as you know, can you believe i've been a politician for almost two. i never thought in a million years i'd be a politician. i know. that's the hard part. this time is going to be incredible. by the way, you look not just at the new hampshire poll, but all of the polls it's absolutely incredible what were doing and what we are doing together. immigration and i've been saying it and the politicians all talk, no action. how many politicians are in this room? these are fabulous people. stand up. my guy with me from the

beginning. how about we let the officials? stand up. these are all fabulous people, especially you. we are going to do something and i have said new mexico will pay for it. i do business with mexico. i do business with mexican people and entrepreneurs. i have many, many his mx working for me. you know what, the problem is whether it's china or japan or mexico, their house guarding our leaders and we are going to let it happen anymore. we are way and let it happen. i asked a week ago, i said i want to know what is the trait deficit. what is it that china? is almost $400 billion a year.

we are losing almost 400 billion. that's only china. in japan it's close to 75 and dollars every year and it's been pretty steady. it's gone now. so it's getting worse. so then we get to mexico. mexico is about 45 to dollars. everybody watches politicians. people competing against the candidates. some are very nice by the way. you look at it and they say to may come you can't do that. they won't pay. they will never pay. i say why wouldn't they pay? we send hundreds and hundreds of million dollars in the mexico. you have a huge problem at the border for the drug cartels pour

in with drugs. we are not making a big deal, but they come in -- you have to see the numbers. they are staggering all over the united states. people say the wall does the work. you ask israel whether or not a wall were to pick a trump wall works. that i can tell you. these guys, the politicians. i understand where they come from. they will say you can't get mexico to pay for the wall. it will never work. i say why. it just doesn't work. we are losing $50 billion. 50 billion a year on trade. why would they do it? they say it's going to cost 10 or 12.

that's for people who never built anything. go do it for much less. it will be bigger and better and people are going. not this wall. [cheers and applause] by the way, this wall is lined up in it, beautiful opening day. when people want to come into the country legally and go through the process, we all welcome it. is that a correct statement? when someone goes to harvard and they are number one in her class were stamped or the wharton school of finance or yell and they do create a maker of them right out and they go back to a country and try and compete and do very successfully. we want to keep people of talent. we want people of great talent. we've got a plan in terms of illegal immigration.

remember this. when i first announced, rush limbaugh said i've never seen anybody receive more incoming, incoming it's really bad press. it was incoming. he said i've never seen anything like it and then he doubled down. he said nobody would done not because i knew the problem. i knew what was happening and we have tremendous crime whether it came from cisco, jamil and los angeles, whether it's the one in two weeks ago who was killed in california, a 66-year-old veteran who was and and killed, unbelievable, but illegal immigrant. it's not going to happen anymore, folks. are we going to have a border? [cheers and applause]

will get the gang members out of here fast. you go to chicago and you've got a lot of these tough dudes. we would get them out of here so fast your head will spin. so i'm really honored by the crowd and we will have some fun now because incentive make in this beach that had been doing over and over, i want to take questions. don't be like that? let's start with this group over here. this man. i like this guy. >> amen, okay. we have a problem in this country. we know our current president has one. but anyway, we have trading camps and they want to kill us. that's my question. >> we will look at a lot of

during my job search and told job search i'm told i'm either overtly or another qualified. i believe the unemployment rate is skewed. what can you do to improve the job market, qualified, talented, educated u.s. it is hence? >> you know, if such a question. i get it all the time. one of the things we're doing taking taking our jobs back from china and japan and all this other place is better than ripping us for years. i've been talking about this for 10 years, 15 years. no politician sees it. one of the things that will tell you maybe the question i get asked the most. that is people coming down, beautiful gray people go to college and in many cases borrowed money to get through college. they are so proud of themselves. they do well, good students, work hard.

they get out and can't get a job. with trump, there is an expression. i will be the greatest jobs president god ever created. that's what you need. >> can you hire me, please. >> go ahead, go ahead. then we'll go right around here. okay, let's go. >> mr. trump, i was wondering when we can get together and work on the safe conditions at the plant. it's been a month since i gave a bad information. >> i remember that. you and i should have a press conference because the governors of massachusetts and new hampshire and protecting the first responders and i would like to work with you on it. >> will take a look at it. we are going to look at it. back here, go ahead.
