9:01 am
oneluckyguy. we are waiting a joint news conference with president obama and japan's prime minister from the white house rose garden. we will watch for that. the president has not spoken about what is going on in baltimore and it could come during the dual news conference so we will see if he mentions that. obama has been on the phone with the mayor of baltimore and new attorney general, loretta lynch. there is a new 10 p.m. curfew going into affect tonight. major league baseball baltimore oriels postponed a second day of games and the commissioner is admitting the police officers were not prepared for the violence saying they were outnumbered.
9:02 am
the chaos escalating after the funeral of a young black man who died in police custody. let's go to the news conference now. >> the concerns and frustrations are legit about the ongoing investigation with respect to what happened to freddie gray are not served well by the violent acts. this violence is not accomplishing anything. it is counterproductive. we are going to make sure we get baltimore back on track. and make sure our neighbors are safe again. i would be happy to answer questions you have. >> could you explain how a state of emergency works where your state of emergency declaration was prepared and what happened in the next 48 hours? did you have to wait to act? >> well as you know the violence started at 3:00
9:03 am
yesterday afternoon. we had prior to that taken preliminary action to prepare to state if in fact violence did take place, if the city did call and ask us for assistance. we activated the emergency command center on friday and i talked to the national guard and have been in communication with the white house. we had ongoing communication on a daily bases with the mayor. this violence started at 3:00 in the afternoon constant communication and i believe around 6:00 the mayor requested us to bring in the nation leaal guard and declare a state of emergency. we had prepared the order a week before so did it immediately. we had calls into the national guard and they were on alert and ready to act. the emergency command center was activated and we had representatives from every state agencies and called local
9:04 am
police, fire and other services from around the state. so it was 30 seconds before completely activating all of the resources we had to bear. it has been less than 24 hours now. you see we have a couple thousand more people on the street in baltimore. to my knowledge there has been no incidents this morning. we are concerned about what might happen this evening. we are continuing to bring more people in from around the state and country and we will put as many resources and manpower to make sure we don't have that situation again. [inaudible question] >> what is that? what i told you is we worked all week preparing the national guard called the assets activated the emergency command center and when the mayor requested we brought them in.
9:05 am
we did quite a bit b but waited until the mayor asked for us to come in. we didn't think it was appropriate to come in and take over the city. >> who is ultimately to blame? >> i don't want to place any blame. our response has been in incredible. we acted instantly and i am proud of the state and local officers working together. [inaudible question] >> our folks are in communication with the federal government and i plan to talk with the president a little later. we will make sure we provide all of the assistance we can from the federal state and local level. we toured businesses that were burned met with citizens who lost their homes, and we had a cabinet meeting before the community leader meeting our
9:06 am
insurance commissioner is activated a rapid response to try to take care of the folk who have insurance and contacted the small business administration for financial assistance for folks who don't have insurance. whatever resources are necessary from the federal state and local level we will provide. >> can you talk about what happening over the next 24-72 hours and what resources are you and your partners going to bring to bear? >> the immediate need is restore peace and make people feel safe and i think we are well on our way to getting that accomplished. there are no more fires burning or looting. you see a tremendous presence on the street which there wasn't yesterday. there is issues like emergency housing we are providing from the department of human resources and the housing agency there is financial assistance, we activated 2,000 volunteers and are asking for
9:07 am
volunteers and donations. governor chris christie agrowed agrowed -- agreed to send in security officials from this state. we have a couple thousands new police officers and guard on the street currently. it is going to continue. we will put as many as we need. >> community groups last week asked you for long term help for the problems in baltimore. what are you prepared to do to help the systemic problems in baltimore? >> reporter: we sent the council members to the meetings and met with the groups again talked about the issues. i expressed my number one concern is jobs. that is what i have been focused on; creating more jobs and
9:08 am
opportunities in baltimore city is a top priority of the administration. today the focus is on the emergency actions taking place and tomorrow we focus on jobs. >> what can you do to convince citizens to come back to baltimore based on what happened? >> that is not going to be easy. >> did you call the mayor? >> i called the mayor multiple times yesterday. >> governor at this point who is responsible for all of the police on the grund you or the mayor of baltimore? >> the mayor of baltimore had the city of baltimore police on the ground quite frankly they were overwhelmed. all of the rest of the boots on the ground came from us. [inaudible question] this is not the baltimore we
9:09 am
know and love. this is certainly not putting us in very good light it doesn't help with tourism but we are going to be stronger after this is over with. it is very sad incident, we are going to do everything we can to move on from here. >> can we talk about whether there were any demonstrations made about ferguson and what might have been falling ovfrom ferguson and if you decide to hold back on bringing in troops of because of might have been hap learned in ferguson? >> those are questions you should direct to the mayor. i didn't have discussions about ferguson or why she was holding back. we were ready to get moving forward and as soon as she made the decision we got to work. >> are there damage estimates? >> reporter: i know our insurance commissioner activated the team to come in and made
9:10 am
that a priority. i don't have an assessment. >> thank you very much. >> thank you everybody. >> all right that was from governor hogan of baltimore maryland telling us what is going on. he said the looting has stopped. we have live video of a lot of things going on so there is questions about that. he called out the mayor saying she might have delayed saying you know what, when the mayor finally called us glad she finally did not passing judgment on her decisions. we have a reporter who has been covering the scene all through the night. we are bringing him in. we have seen more looting today. and the police setup perimeter lines to get ready for protesting. what is the mood out there? >> pretty tense. we heard no justice.
9:11 am
it was civilized but we have the riot police formed again in a strong battle line, reinforced not only with police swat team and the state police teams. over the past hour or two, we have gotten a couple hundred protesters who have now come out for no justice, no peace and you so one of the signs up there saying freddie gray didn't die in vein civil rights now. that is what we keep hearing this is about. freddie gray and also civil rights in general. a lot of folks are mega phones are out here chanting. there are a lot of residents angry and tired, not necessarily about freddie gray, but about what happened. this was ground zero. the cvs burned and looted was there. that is the place where they cut the fire line so the firefighters couldn't put out the fire. just on the other side of this police line, down the hill, is
9:12 am
the liquor store and mini marts that were looted as well. i was here and watched the police retreat as the looting happened and the lawlessness took over from 9 p.m. to midnight or 1 a.m. now the police seem too a little more swagger in their steps, harris, and there is a feeling there is a new sheriff in town or at least the sheriff is giving different orders in this town. they have decided to once again take control. you will see a lot of kid in the crowd and that is because school was canceled. it was the kids coming out of school at 3:00 that started the stone throwing and looting and now there is a bunch of kids out of school with absolutely nothing to do. yesterday they watched their friends looting stores at will and they are saying what are
9:13 am
they going to think about doing today? the police have more folks on the detroit -- street -- and whether that presence is enough is yet to be seen. >> i want to ask you about this. the governor talked about asking for donations from americans around the country for the losses from the looting. what kind of effort are they put into going after the thugs on the street last night because we have video with their faces? >> reporter: as far as we know there is not much effort going after the folks. we watched police cars driving by the liquor store being looted and the looters pelted the police cars with liquor bottles and didn't try to stop anyone. whether or not they have intelligence units going through the videos to find these people and the more violent of these groups it is hard to tell.
9:14 am
but we have not seen a hardened police presence in terms of going after looters for arrest. my colleagues peter filmed looters a couple miles from here. not the same scale we saw yesterday but not a lot of arrest no hammer approach we have seen in other riots. >> i know you are building toward 2,000 guardsmen on the street. thank you. the baltimore ravens nfl team canceled their draft party just coming in. so reaction from the major league baseball and now national football leagues. let's go live to the white house where the president is making his opening statements meeting and speaking alongside the japanese prime minister. important to note, he may make comment on the situation in
9:15 am
baltimore. that is a maybe. here is his opening statement. >> i met with the mother of one of the abductees and explained the pain she is experiencing. our relationship is letting us enhance security across the region. we reviewed the progress we have made with the trance atlantic partnership. january i know the prime minister like me, is committed to getting this done and i am confidant we will. there are many japanese cars in america and i want to see more american cars in japan as well. ttp will help level the playing field. it will be good for the workers
9:16 am
of both countries and moreover ttp will have a strong protection for workers and the environment and set high standards for trade in the 21st century. japan and the united states operate with high standards in our corporations and companies. we try to be responsible when the comes to corporate citizen citizenship and high standards are good for us and good for the region. based on the progress we have made the prime minister and discussed how the united states and japan will work together to lead our ttp partners to swift and successful conclusions of the negotiations. we agreed to continue the coordination on climate change. the two countries making the largest pledges to the green climate fund were committed to helping nations around the world seize the opportunities of transitioning to low carbon economies and discussed the importance of all economies
9:17 am
submitting targets at a reduce emissions so we can reach a strong climate agreement this year in paris. and finally we agreed to keep investing in our people so they and our countries can reach their full potential. i want to once again commend the prime minister for his efforts to bring more japanese women into the workforce. i can tell you it is very much my view here in the united states and around the world that when women are given opportunities and full pledged members of the political and economic community when they have opportunity, those countries succeed. it is good for everything. along with the initiatives we launched in tokyo we are looking to double student exchanges in the coming here and with the leadership of our better halves our wives, the united states and japan are helping it lead the initiative let girls learn to give more women and girls access
9:18 am
to education. these are just examples of what it means to be true global partners and i am confidant with the steps we have taken today our alliance will play a greater role in upholding dignity around the world. [speaking foreign language] >> thank you for inviting me to make an official visit in this year which marks 70 years after the war. thank you for inviting me and my wife. working together with you at the lincoln memorial, which witnesses american democracy, is a memory to be cherished. we have a dream that is to create a world abound in peace
9:19 am
and prosperity. to realize this common dream, japan and the united states will together pave the way toward a new era. i was able to confirm this strong resolve with president obama in this milestone year of 70 years after the war. today we turned a new page in the history of the u.s.-japan alliance which exceeds half a century. this is an alliance within the context of the world. japan and the united states are partners who share basic values for freedom democracy and basic human rights and the rule of law. the u.s.-japan alliance
9:20 am
characterized by the bond is helping the peace and stability of the asian pacific and the world. we are united in our reslute to change the status quo in whatever form. any dispute should be revolved peacefully based on international law -- resolved -- and not through intimidation. japan welcomes the united states' policy of rebalancing and president obama has expressed his support for japan's proactive contributions for peace to coordination of these two policies; the deterants of our alliance will
9:21 am
no doubt be further strengthened. against this backdrop we affirm our resolve to move forward with realignment of the u.s. forces in japan. the dangers arising from the air station being surrounded by housing and schools should be eliminated by relocation as soon as possible. we will move forward with litigating the impact of the space founded with a strong relationship of trust between japan and the united states. this prosperity brings peace and makes us eager to see the early conclusions of the ttp. and we welcome the fact significant progress has been made. we'll continue to cooperate to lead the ttp talks to its last
9:22 am
phase. we confirm we would work together for the early talks. with regard to the situation in east asia nuclear missiles and the situation in the ukraine, and the threat of terrorism. further more climate change communeical diseases, the unm security council, and the world has a multitude of issues that are facing it. and on these issues we exchanged reviews and agreed we would cooperate. when the comes to the future of japan and the united states there are infinite possibilities of energy, infrastructure science, technology space and in addition the empowerment of
9:23 am
women. we agree that is the thing that president obama and myself that we would cooperate and move forward in making investments for the future. i would like to express my dear heart felt respect once again to president obama and the st zins of the united states who committed to take on -- citizen citizens -- the multiple challenges of the world and for the changes you are making to benefit the people of the world. yesterday i visited a library in boston where i saw president kennedy deliver his speech. it still has a lingering affect. i recall the following quote: my fellow citizens of the world ask not what america will do for you but what together you can do for the freedom of mankind.
9:24 am
now japan wants to be a country that can respond to such calls. hand in hand, we want to work together with the united states to spread basic values throughout the world like freedom democracy basic human right and the rule of law. we want to be a country that can contribute to peace and prosperity of the world. in visiting united states i have had very heartful and warming welcome by all sitcitizens of the united states. likely i would like to emphasis the following as we stand here we will be starting a new era for japan and the united states.
9:25 am
i think that 70 years from now our children and grandchildren will look back on the talks we had as one of such historical significance. thank you very much. >> starting with andrew beat. >> thank you very much mr. president. first of all, i wanted to know if you think there is a risk in the more assertive japanese 2nd quarter process might be seen as a risk in beijing? and for the prime minister you stopped short of the full apology of japan's action during world war ii and the 200,000 women enslaved, would you make an apology for that today? thank you. >> i think it is very important
9:26 am
to recognize that u.s.-japan alliance hasn't just been good for the united states and japan but for the asia-pacific region and the world. the basic foundation of peace, stability, insuring that territorial borders were respected freedom of navigation all of that has underwritten the incredible growth that is taking place in the asia-pacific region. china benefited from it. it is on that bases china became a juggernaut that ended up bogue incorporated into global trade -- being -- so no we don't think a strong u.s.-japan
9:27 am
alliance should be a provocation but it should be seen as a continuation of the important work we have done to insure that you have a stable area where there are diplomatic conflict and healthy competition and largely we have been able to maintain forward progress for a host of nations and our alliance is critical for that. the united states serving as the asia pacific power has been critical. and as i said before we welcome china's peaceful rise. we think is good because china is a booming potential market believing it is good not only because it will allow china to potentially share burdens with
9:28 am
us in helping countries that are not as far along develop. we think it is good hundreds of millions of chinese citizens have been able to rise from poverty at incredible speed. they could not have done that had it not been for a stable, trading system and world order, that is underwritten in large part by the work our alliances do. i think it is going to be important for us to continue to adapt to challenges. the same principles the alliance was founded on need to update about concerns on cyber threats, that we are nimble and responsive to potential conflicts arising because of maritime disputes.
9:29 am
we have to do it in a way that brings in china and other countries into a common effort to maintain order and peace in the region. why seeking to strengthen military to military cooperation with china even as we continue to upgrade our alliance efforts. the republican of korea is an important part of the alliance and the trilateral work we do is very important. i don't want to minimize though, the fact that there are some real tensions that have arisen with china around its approach to maritime issues and its claims. that is not an issue that is not arising from the u.s.-japan
9:30 am
9:31 am
and suffering as a result of victimization duty human trafficking. this is a feeling i share equally with my predecessors the abe cabinet of holds the statement and has no intention of revising it. based on this position japan has made various efforts to provide realistic relief for the comfort of women. throughout the history of the 20th century women's dignity and basic human rights have also been infringed upon during wars. we intend to make the 21st century a world with no human-rights violations against women. i promise the general assembly of the united nations last year that japan would stand up before and lead the internet of community and eliminate sexual
9:32 am
violence during conflict. for an international framework including the un, women, japan provided approximately $12 million in 2014 and decided it would provide approximately $22 million in 2015. in any case the 21st century should be an age when women's rights are never infringed upon and battles strong resolve. thank you very much. i would like to address this question to prime minister abe and president obama. in the east china sea and south
9:33 am
china sea china continues to make forays into the oceans and how does the united states and japan intends to collaborate and what do you expect of each other in terms of action by the respective countries and in japan with regard to the acceptance of exercise of the new guidelines? there is strong concern japan would become involved in america's wars. how does prime minister abe intended to spell this and what is president obama's take on these concerns? >> translator: first of all, extremism which is is on the rise. the world community should unite
9:34 am
to counter such extremism. moderation is the best method. we have to face extremism. there are moderates at the forefront facing extremism and we went to support this. with the rise of extremism there are refugees. and also the influx of refugees and to these countries it is important that we provide appropriately and to the moderate countries, we need to tell them that they are not alone. they are not isolated. in the international society,
9:35 am
the moderate countries should be supported and we need to express that at all times. i believe that it is important. in the middle east there are people who are living there including the up welfare and language of these people, areas. and we'd like to cooperate to respond to the challenge. another point. the guidelines, the defense guidelines and the security legislation. that we may be involved, get caught up in wars. people tend to linger in some cases. is very unfortunate labeling activities of this kind is not the first time it has occurred. in 1960 when we revised the
9:36 am
security treaty people some people said we would be in worse with the united states. that was the core of the criticism that was aired then. it has been 55 since then. this criticism has been proved totally wrong. and revise the security seating. and if japan suffers some aggression between japan and the united states we would have to respond through cooperation. to maintain security, japan's facilities that would leverage
9:37 am
with leveraging facilities, and japan's safety was expected and prosperity happened and safety in the asia pacific has been maintained to further strengthen this trend provided for the new guidelines and less response and by so doing the deterrence would be enhanced. the alliance would be more efficient and more functional. the response capabilities would behind as a result and this would lead to peace and prosperity in japan and regional -- regional cheese and russ berry. -- prosperity. that is my firm conviction. and the streamlining of the laws i would like to explain to citizens and parliament in a detailed fashion. >> ultimately the people of
9:38 am
japan and their elected representatives will be making decisions about how best to approach their defense but i think it is important to notice prime minister abe said the we have seen over multiple decades now that japan is a peace-loving country having absorbed some very difficult lessons from the past. japan does not engage in aggression under international stage or in its region and the alliance that has been built with the united states is principally one that seeks to defend our country from
9:39 am
potential attack or aggression. and with the new defense guidelines and collective defense approach prime minister abe is proposing simply upgrades our ability to carry out those core functions. we do share as people and countries all around the world share, a determination to eliminate the barbaric terrorist acts perpetrated by organizations like isil that have resulted in the death of innocent citizens from the united states, from japan from other countries and most of all from muslim countries and that is why we have a broad based coalition designed to defeat isil and we will continue to
9:40 am
work with a wide range of countries around the world in our counterterrorism efforts. japan's cooperation in that is vital and appreciated but there are many ways in which coalition members participate. japan's willingness to provide humanitarian assistance makes an enormous difference in countries that have been destabilized. japan's willingness to serve in areas of peacekeeping and working with other countries to rebuild after a they have been destroyed makes a big difference. it is important to recognize we do not expect some instant and major transformation in terms of how japan projects military power but we do expect japan,
9:41 am
like all of our allies and our cells will continue to adapt to new threats understanding that our basic core principle is not territorial ambition is not aggression towards others but is simply to defense prosperity and liberty and sovereignty of countries as we have done for a long time. >> thank you. the national guard is on the streets of baltimore. the latest aftermath would have been high-profile confrontation between black men and police officers and there seems to be growing frustration among african american leaders that not enough is being done quickly enough. the urban league said the u.s. is in a state of emergency of
9:42 am
tremendous proportions. the president of the naacp legal defense fund says we are in the throat of a national crisis. are we in the throes of a national crisis? what are you prepared to do in terms of baltimore and the larger picture and what the state critics who say since the death of trayvon martin you have not been aggressive enough in your response and to prime minister abe hata important is the pacific trade deal to keep the influence of china in check both economically and militarily and do you agree with president obama when he said failing to complete a deal would simply further china's influence? thank you. >> before i question -- i answer the question about baltimore i will address your question for prime minister abe. i have been very clear that tpp is good for american business and american workers. regardless of what china is
9:43 am
doing. and we will make the case on the merits as to why it will open up markets for american goods, american exports and create american jobs though this is not simply a defensive agreement this is part and parcel of our broader economic agenda moving forward. when 95% of the world markets are outside our shores we have to make sure we are out there competing. with respect to baltimore let me make a couple points, with the family of free gray they want answers. doj has opened an investigation. working with local law enforcement and in there should be full transparency and accountability. second, why thoughts are with the police officers who were
9:44 am
injured unless night's disturbances. it underscore is that that is a tough job and we have to keep that in mind and my hope is that they can heal and get back to work as soon as possible. point number 3, there is no excuse for the kind of violence we saw yesterday. it is counterproductive. when individuals get crowbars and stop trying to open doors to. they are not protesting, they are not making a statement. they are stealing. when they burned down a building they are committing arson. and they are destroying and undermining businesses and opportunities in their own
9:45 am
communities that rob jobs and opportunity from people in that area. so it is entirely appropriate that the mayor of baltimore who i spoke to yesterday and the governor who i spoke to yesterday work to stop that kind of senseless violence and destruction. that is not a protest. that is not a statement. it is a handful of people taking advantage of the situation for their own purposes and they need to be treated as criminals. point number 4. the violence that happened yesterday distracted from the fact that you had seen multiple days of peaceful protests that were focused on entirely
9:46 am
legitimate concerns in these communities in baltimore led by clergy and community leaders and they were constructive and they were thoughtful and frankly didn't get that much attention. one burning building will be looped on television over and over and over again and the thousands of demonstrators who did it the right way, i think, have been lost in the discussion. the overwhelming majority of the community in baltimore handled this appropriately expressing real concern and outrage over the possibility that our laws were not applied evenly in the case of mr. gray and accountability needs to exist. my understanding is the same organizers now going back to these communities to clean up in the aftermath of a handful of protests or a handful of criminals and thugs who tore up
9:47 am
the place. what they were doing, what those community leaders and clergy and others were doing that is misstatement. that is the kind of organizing that needs to take place if we are going to tackle this problem and they deserve credit for it and we should be lifting them up. point number 5 and i have six. because this is important. since ferguson and the task force thsing w
9:48 am
african-american, often poor, it hot i would say is this is a slow rolling crisis. this has been going on for a long time. this is not new. and we shouldn't pretend that it is new. the good news is perhaps there is some newfound awareness because of social me and video cameras and so forth there are problems and challenges when it
9:49 am
comes to how policeing and our laws are applied in certain communities and we have to pay attention and respond. what is also good news is the task force made of law enforcement and community activists we brought together in the white house had come up with a very constructive concrete proposals that adopted by the local communities and by states and counties by law enforcement generally, would make a difference. wouldn't solve every problem but would make a concrete difference rebuilding trust and making sure the overwhelming majority of effective, honest and fair law enforcement officers are able to do their job better because it will weed out or retrain or put a stop to those hand full and may be not doing what they're
9:50 am
supposed to be doing. the challenge for us as the federal government is we don't run these police forces we can't federalize every police force in the country and forced them to retrain but what i can do is start working with them collaborative fleeing so that they can begin this process of change themselves and coming out of the task force we are working with local communities, department of justice just rogram for those jurisdictions that want to purchase body cameras. we will be issuing grants for those jurisdictions that are prepared to start implementing the new training and data collection and other things that could make a difference and we are going to keep on working with those local jurisdictions so that they can begin to make
9:51 am
the changes that are necessary. i think it is going to be important for organizations like the fraternal order of police and other police unions and organizations to acknowledge that this is not good for police. we have to own up to the fact that occasionally there are going to be problems here just as there are in every other occupation. there are some bad politicians who are corrupt. there are folks in the business community or on wall street who don't do the right thing. there are some police who are not doing the right thing. and raptors and close ranks -- rather than close ranks we have seen as a number of thoughtful police commissioners recognize, get their arms around this thing and work together with the community to solve the problem and we are committed to facilitating the process so the
9:52 am
heads of our cops, agency that helps with community police are in baltimore, we will work with every city and jurisdiction across the country to help them implement some solutions with the we know work. my final point. i am sorry, mr. prime minister but this is an important issue for us. we can't just leave this to the police. i think there are police departments that have to do some soul-searching. i think there are some communities that have to do some soul-searching but we as a country have to do some soul-searching. this is not new. it has been going on for
9:53 am
decades. without making any excuses for criminal activities, what we also know is if you have impoverished communities that have been stripped of opportunity, where children are born in abject poverty, they have parents often because of substance abuse problem more incarceration lack of education themselves can't do right by their kids. if it is more likely those kids end up in jail or dead then they go to college in communities where there are no fathers who can provide guidance to young men. communities that where there is no investment in manufacturing has been stripped away. and drugs have flooded the
9:54 am
community in those environments, if we're going to send the police to do the dirty work of containing the problems that i rise with outcome as a nation or a society saying what can we do to change those communities to help lift up those communities or give those kids opportunity than we are not going to solve this problem and we will go through the same cycle of periodic conflicts between police and communities and the occasional riots in the streets and everybody will and we go about our business as usual. if we are serious about solving
9:55 am
this problem, we not only have to help fund police, but what can we do the rest of us, to make sure we are providing early education to these kids, make sure we are reforming our criminal justice system so it is not just a pipeline from schools to prisons so we are not rendering men in these communities unemployable because of a felony record for nonviolent drug offense, the we are making investments so they can get the training they need to find jobs. that is hard. that requires more than the occasional news report or taskforce. a bunch of my agenda that will make a difference right now in that under no illusion we will get massive in urban
9:56 am
communities. we will try to make a difference in school reform and job training and some investments in infrastructure in these communities trying to attract new businesses but if we really want to solve the problem. of our society wants to solve the problem we could. it would just require everybody saying this is important, this is significant. and the we don't just pay attention to these communities when cfs emerges. or when a young man gets shot. or has his spine snapped a. we're paying attention all the time because we consider those kids our kids and we think they're important and shouldn't be living in poverty and violence. that is how i feel. i think there are a lot of good meaning people around the country who feel that way but
9:57 am
that kind of political mobilization i think we haven't seen in quite some time and what i tried to do is to promote those ideas that would make a difference but i and we all understand politics of that are tough because it is easy to ignore those problems or treat them just as a law-and-order issue rather than a broader social issue. that was a really long answer but i felt pretty strongly about it. >> we just heard the president taking that anticipated question about what is happening in baltimore, md.. they are going to continue on in a short little bit as the last of that jewel news conference with prime minister from japan, we will monitor that for any other news. there was some news on the economic front but for now we will bring this on to the couch because of what is happening live on the left side of your screen. this is the breaking news since late yesterday as baltimore,
9:58 am
looting, we have seen some of their return today. you can see the perimeter lines police have set up, protestors of come out reportedly peaceful that this point but it is described as very tense. your thoughts? >> the president sent a lot of mixed messages in his remark. i know he'll conduct and we feel sorry for the family of the victim in this but i still think we don't know enough and i don't think the president knows enough about what happened and what disturbs me the most is in his remarks, he buried what was really going on here and we have all seen the footage that was all criminality and mayhem last night. also he seemed to blame the police, we have a crisis with the way the cops interact with certain communities and seemingly blamed the media saying there was only one building burning and we were playing it over and over. there was not just one burning building, i think we can all
