2:00 pm
the importance of the police department working with the community to try and address violence and try to fight violent crime and our relationship with the community was fundamental to helping to create a safer baltimore. our efforts to continue the community outreach effort, the investigations that go on, our patrol officers on the street to keep baltimore safer those continue and will continue as the days come on. >> can you give the total number of the curfew violations? >> i can get that for you. [ inaudible ] >> very early on our equal opportunity section in conjunction with the chief of our community partnership division worked together to make sure that our officers were
2:01 pm
being taken care of. that is a concern the we have worked the last several days to ensure we have counselors and pastors for officers to talk to so they are able to express any emotions they are having or concerns they have. that is something obviously that is very important and we want to make sure our officers are taken care of. are the white neighbors different than the black neighborhoods? >> what you are seeing with our deployment is, as we have said from the beginning where we have the largest amount of people we will shift the largest amount of resources. when we do enforcement activity and curfew enforcement we will target the largest gatherings of people and shift resources to address smaller and smaller groups and that has been the basis of how curfew enforcement is done. last night we knew several gatherings we would shift resources to address the gatherings and that is how the enforcement activity was handle ed.
2:02 pm
[ inaudible ] >> we are operating under the incident command model. there is a finance section working hard to track everything and working in conjunction with our state and local partners and that is something that will continue to be done moving through the deployment. [ inaudible ] >> what we do not is discuss how we deploy our resources. we have made that clear from the beginning. as we move into the coming days, we will dress hour by hour and situation by situation how we deploy officers when we were able to scaling back deployment. that is something we said from the going we will not discuss until we are through the
2:03 pm
situation. >> a follow-up. [ inaudible ] >> i don't want to speculate about why the number is what it is. the fact is, that is the number and we have to move did address it. we are doing that. we have investigators working hard to find suspects in the cases and we will work to make sure we can do everything we can to stop the violence. that sour concern: working with neighborhoods and pans to make are addressing violence where it is and we are working to fine the people responsible and we can take them into custody. >> do you have any triggers or thresholds that would cause the curfew to be re-instated? >> i don't want to speculate. our concentration is on the fact over the weekend we have seen
2:04 pm
peace. the decision was made to lift the curfew today. our focus is asking people to continue to be peaceful and there is a gathering right up the street and they remain peaceful so we can continue the steps toward normalcy. we have officers and we have gotten this question each day. we have officers that are working really, really long hours. they are away from their families. they have gone through some very trying and challenging circumstances. i know we are incredibly proud of the work they are doing. they are incredibly proud of work they are doing and of each other. we talked about we had officers that were injured that did not want to go to the hospital but they wanted to stand on the line with their brothers and sisters in law enforcement to work to keep the city safe. our constitutional and moral obligation is to work to keep the city of baltimore safe and that is what they are doing and they are doing an incredible job.
2:05 pm
>> the curfew ending and... [ inaudible ] >> yesterday you heard the police commissioner saying -- talking about the policy group coming together to evaluate. these questions are best answered by the mayor's office, the policy group decision that is made. i don't want to sneak to them. anyone else? >> we are focused on peace. we have had peace at the rallies. we have had peace through the weekend. that will be our continued expression. >> thank you. we ask you continue to follow. >> baltimore is capable of coming together said the police captain, saying there were 486 arrests and three referred to the police officers who were injured, month are non100 have
2:06 pm
been injured the past week and during the riots in baltimore a city trying to come to grips with what happened and deal with prayer and peace and hope and healing. right? >> that is going to do it for us. we are now going to take you to "media buzz," already in progress. >> a cnn reporter running around handing the microphone to anyone to spew all their nonsense on the air with no one else to rebullet it or refute it and they kept saying, it has been two hours why hasn't the mayor held a news conference? i suspect show had more important things to do. why aren't the police chasing all of the rioters around? they don't know crowd control. we are not putting it in context. they not just reporting the facts. >> not to disagree, but something --. >> please, please when you say the media made it worse and the media the baltimore sun had 60
2:07 pm
reporters on the story two months before they came, we had a huge investigative series done on excessive force and violence by the police and the fines the city is paying. don't say the media -- the "sun," was on the story. amy said the media. >> we identified what i was talking about. >> please, take the part of media you want to be critical of --. >> okay, okay, i play 9 clip of your mayor, mayor rawlings-blake saying we need to give space to those who wish to destroy and claiming she was mischaracterized. are people playing their own words? >> a week before it blew up i wrote a story saying our mayor has a problem when she speaks to the press of not being clear and her spokesman has to clean it up. we predicted what was going to happen and she did it. she did it this. this wasn't just reaction. she said that.
2:08 pm
i know what she meant to say she meant to say what she said she meant to say but she did not say it. >> she did not say "i meant to say," but blame the media. >> dave, here is the problem: fox news also has a report that she had some sort of stand down order so while she may have misspoken, the media did not misconstrue the words and maybe there is something substantive there when you look at her subsequent action. or inaction. >> anyone who much wad the coverage on monday could see that the police in many instants were standing by as the liquor store was looted and 9 c.v.s. was looted. now the "washington post" lotter signing a police document saying that another prisoner in the van believed freddie gray was banging his head against the wall and injured himself. document was accurate, was the paper and others who reported this used by the police? >> i don't know if they were used by the police.
2:09 pm
it is fair, of course, to report that but you have the drips and drabs that do not tell the whole picture and the media gets ahead of 9 investigation and the facts so people grabbed on to this saying one side wanted a narrative that freddie gray may have injured himself and the other sigh was saying, wait, we don't know. we don't know what is going on. >> i think the worst of all the coverage and i will identify again, was the "washington post" with the article because the headline was that this prisoner hurt him saw him was in the van, the headline should have been a police report said that somebody told them this was obviously spin the part of the police defendant, the irs attempt to cover it up and defend the gays and the "washington post" get it wrong and the rest of the national media ran with it. >> i want to play a sound bit. i was struck by this. this was a baltimore woman don't have her last nature,
2:10 pm
interviewed by msnbc posing this question. >> we were out here protesting all last week for six days straight peacefully and there were no news cameras or helicopters and no riot gear and no one heard us. now that we burned down buildings and set businesses on fire now all of a sudden everyone wants to hear us. why does it take a catastrophe like this for america to hear our cry? >> she made the point that cnn was covering this earlier but last saturday night, white house correspondents and no one broke away but were covering jokes. >> i could not believe that cnn could not do a cut in and this...exercise in black tie narcissism while a difficult is on the edge. people could not leave camden yards after the baseball game because the streets were
2:11 pm
out-of-control and cnn cannot get some kind of cut in because it is so permit to cover the people telling jokes and celebrating themselves? i am so outraged about that, i am still waiting for a cn in the executive to tell me who made that decision and how they made that decision. >> baltimore is 40 minutes by car. >> initial coverage of freddie gray traded because there was a rough media consensus look, this was of, 25 year old taken into custody and dies from a spinal cord injury so there was nothing for cable to argue. >> there was nothing to argue but for context but for ferguson and again, i think the con last between the washington press corps slapping each other drinking wine and celebrating themselves here in washington dc while baltimore was on fire is disgusting and after the young lady, i am sorry to tell you the press is going to be gone when your city is trying to
2:12 pm
recover. >> and the president obama talked about one burning building played on an endless loop. does the media by and large with exceptions such as local newspapers ignore the problems in the inner city and parachute in when the violence breaks out. >> not just the media but the nation. the president made the point. i lived through the rodney king riots and was caught in the middle of that. back to the 60s back to watts in 65 and detroit in 1967, the fundamental problems have not changed: poverty 61 employment and police community tension and nothing has been continue about it for 40 or 50 years. >> maybe the spotty media coverage reflects that. i am sure you have thoughts, send tweets. stay tuned. the media have a new heroine, the

marilyn >> marilyn mostly is the state attorney who brought the charges including second-degree murder against the six officers involved in the arrest of freddie gray and hailed by the media, "baltimore bad ass," and i have never heard of a prosecute failed protesters for saying no justice and no peace seemed political, but the liberal mines including "new york times" and "politico" framed those comments as a great positive declaration putting it
2:17 pm
in headlines. >> this is the media trying to write a narrative rather than reporting the facts. it should be troubling to all americans wherever you land on this issue. why think it is an issue but a story that ought to be reported that a prosecutor making political statements and troubling. this should be criminal justice matter where the facts will be weighed and the people will be charged fairly. at this point we do not have enough information to know if that is the case. >> i am not questioning her motives or charges because i have not seen the evidence but i 2409 it was inappropriate. all this talk of the racial matter. can we fully embrace that term when the mayor the police chief, half of the police chief and the city council president and three of the six officers are black. >> and this is a democratic city with democratic leadership and i still think race does have something to do with it in the

2:19 pm
by state authority. in this case, it doesn't matter if the cops and freddie gray were of the same race the civil liberties may have been violated. >> i thought she was brilliant righteous, and if you were in baltimore, why care what our leaders are if black citizens of baltimore believe they are being treated unfairly by police you can be innocent and wind up dead after you are arrested for something if those folks believe that, the leaders better speak to them. i don't care if she is states attorney. she spoke to an incredible tension. you walk the streets of baltimore with five helicopters over you and you are in a war zone and she spoke to the reality of the situation she was in. she is not a politician. >> a report is supposed --. >> she said i am giving you justice. she said in justice be in peace. i'm delivering justice today. you give us some peace now.

i'm getting whiplash from all the nbc leaks about brian williams. first, "the new york times" and "the washington post" quoted sources as saying, an expanded network probe of the suspended anchor found new instances of exaggerations in talking about his reporting. then "new york daily news" said the new nbc chief is looking for a way to put him back at "nightly news." then "the hollywood reporter's" melisa guthrie reported a person with lack's feelings said it would be a lack. what you're seeing is a messy civil war playing itself out with dueling leaks. nbc should just make a decision rather than leaving its longtime star twisting in the wind. well the baltimore story needed a hero and the media have found one. toyya graham the single mother of six who tracked down her 16-year-old son michael and smacked him around as he was trying to join the protesters on the day of the riots. several networks rushed to interview toyya graham and her

peter schweitzer has got a huge wave of publicity for his book asking whether clintons got millions from donors and whether that helped curry favor with hillary clinton when she ran the state department. but he's gotten some pushback about his level of evidence while making the television rounds. >> your book is questions. i just wonder how could that no be interpreted as clearly political. there's nothing here that's evidence of illegality. >> i don't think the standard at nbc news or any news organization would be that we only report things when we have evidence of illegality. >> the book is called clinton cash the untold story of how
2:31 pm
and why foreign governments and businesses helped make bill and hillary rich. and it's published by harper collins. i spoke to him earlier here in studio 1. >> peter schweitzer welcome. >> thanks for having me. >> the coverage from your book has started to turn. you've acknowledged that you can't prove, don't have a document showing that luc lick took any specific action intentionally to help donors to the family foundation but are much of the mainstream media giving you a harder time because you're going after the clintons? >> i think there's a certain element of that yes. i think part of it is because there have been a lot of scandal books, so-called scandal books in the past. but i also think there's this sense that they're looking for political motivation in what i'm doing. and, you know, i think you certainly could look at the motivations behind what people are doing, but you want to look at facts themselves and most reporters have been fair in doing that. >> you've done enormous research in this book and have raised really troubling questions about these millions of dollars in donations and speaking fees. but many journalists were having to report on this without having
2:32 pm
the book which still isn't out yet. so i think the advanced publicity kind of oversold what you actually had. thoughts? >> i wouldn't necessarily say that. i think what's happened though you're right. a lot of people are talking about the book without having read it. the clinton campaign and clinton camp has used that to their benefit. they're sending out individual chapters to different people. the real power of the book in my mind is the full collection of stories. >> you told george steph stephanopoulos in an interview that the smoking gun is the pattern behavior. that's not necessarily true. it may be highly suspicious. it may have the appearance of sleaze. i don't take the view that for a presidential candidate, not doing something illegal is only bar. but prosecutors can't bring charges unless they have a quid pro quo. you're not a prosecutor of course. >> i'm not a prosecutor but if you look at this body of evidence you can compare it with others that have brought
2:33 pm
prosecution. certainly in those cases, there did not appear to be quid pro quo s. >> so prosecutors have to allege that. let me move you into specific examples so we're not just talking in general. you relied on a td bank press release about the bank selling its stake in the keystone pipeline. that release was exposed as a fake two years ago. true? >> that's true but not really central to the story. the story says hillary clinton was looking at the keystone pipeline and gave it environmental approval. during that time bill clinton was contacted to give ten speeches to the largest shareholder, which was td bank. the press release that resulted later on was about them allegedly selling their shares which they did not. it does not touch the central fact of that story. >> you say senator hillary clinton changed her position on a nuclear agreement with india after the clinton foundation raked in lots of cash with indian businesses. you said that she supported a
2:34 pm
killer amendment to limit nuclear production. but politico says she actually voted against that. >> unfortunately politico is wrong. they never contacted me. there was an amendment offered by senator feingold. hillary clinton was one of 25 senators to vote in favor of it. >> was there more than one amendment? >> there were three amendments but even more importantly, the central player in the indian story, which is a trustee of the clinton foundation who was pushing aggressively to get this deal done said point-blank in an interview in 2010 that in 2006 hillary clinton did not support the legislation that the indian government wants. that comes can later. >> then there's the uranium deal big donations. 500,000 speech for bill clinton. but as you know this has come up hillary clinton's state department one of nine agencies needed to approve anything involving that russian-controlled company, and not even evidence that she was directly involved in decisions. so i think like a lot of things you raised in this book appearance does not look good but you don't necessarily have it nailed. >> i think it's hard for any
2:35 pm
author to nail it. and i think one of the strategies that the clinton camp has deployed is to set this bar for me as an author which is impossible for any author to meet. look it's about follow the money. one of the oldest stories in politics. and when you're talking about this story, you're talking about a unique situation flows of lots of money, and timing. >> the really troubling things about bill's speeches the apparent correlation between his fees and hillary's decisions went she was secretary of state. let me ask you this in your last two books, you went after both political parties and got a lot of favorable press. this book about the author doesn't mention that you have worked with george w. bush's white house that you have worked with sarah palin, does says you worked for the conservative think tank the hoover institution, you have also written for breitbart.com. so the question emerges, what are you? are you a journalist? >> i'm a conservative and i think i'm as jurnlgs ss journalist. and when i say conservative i
2:36 pm
don't think i am a republican. in my books, i have gone after republicans. i have become increasingly skeptical over the years of politicians who become wealthy while in public office. the clintons i think represent a unique example of that. the fact they've taken in some $130 million in bill's post-presidential years. this arrangement you had with her as secretary of state and him taking in large sums of money from foreign interest. we've never been there before. my fear with this is that this could become a model for other politicians. >> and i think you raise important questions, but you do describe yourself as a conservative journalist who has worked for conservative politicians, so can you how there would be skepticism among liberals and those in the media that you are pursuing an agenda? >> no. i think what people should do is look at the facts. my skepticism and conservatism springs from a skepticism about centralized political power. i'm a libertarian in that sense. and i think that's a legitimate position to have. i think the question comes down to the reporting and to the
2:37 pm
information contained in the book. and that's ultimately how i think it should rise or fall. >> you don't think when you work with republican politicians that that in any way, undercuts your claim to independence as a journalist? >> well i work with republican politicians in the past as a speechwriter primarily. but, no i don't think it undermines it. i think i've been transparent about that and in book i explain my sense about what's going on here. >> to be fair you've been digging into jeb bush's finances. that's not going to result in a book i understand but whahat motivated you to do that? you did work with his brother when he was president. >> the motivation here again, is looking at wealth accumulation by elected officials. in the case of jeb bush you don't have the global reach that you have with the clintons don't have the same timeline. it does not appear that it's going to constitute a book. but we're looking at land deals and an airport deal and looking at other issues. the bottom line again is to follow the money, which is what we did with the clintons and that's happening here as well.
2:38 pm
>> follow the money. peter schweitzer thanks very much for joining us. >> thanks for having me. after the break, reaction to our interview. the coverage of hillary clinton's campaign, and bernie sanders jumps into the race. will the press take him seriously? doers. they don't worry if something's possible. they just do it. at sears optical, we're committed to bringing them eyewear that works as hard as they do. right now, save up to $200 on eyeglasses. quality eyewear for doers. sears optical why are you deleting these photos? because my teeth are yellow. why don't you use a whitening toothpaste? i'm afraid it's bad for my teeth. try crest 3d white. crest 3d white diamond strong toothpaste and rinse... ...gently whiten... ...and fortify weak spots. use together for 2 times stronger enamel. crest 3d white.

what impacted the book "clinton cash" and a new democratic candidate. joining us now, ron fournier columnist for the national journal. what did you think of the interview with peter schweitzer and is the press making his book at least for now, the issue in the hillary campaign? >> i thought he did a good job defending himself. i'm not familiar with the position he's in the clintons like a lot of politicians, when they're under attack like to attack the messenger. i think he's holding up pretty well. >> not just him. >> that's the thing. the clinton campaign wants us to make this about him, not the fact that there's all reporting out there that there's really questions that she has to answer. the media tends to want to make this like you said what's the impact on the campaign? i think, and this is where actually he had a point, this should be about, what is this -- how does this reflect on what kind of leader can she be? is she going to be transparent and follow the rules, is she going to be ethical and put the country ahead of her personal interests? this story, not his book the
2:43 pm
story, her actions in both the maile thing e-mail thing and the way they handled the foundation raise serious questions about what kind of candidate she's going to be. >> her spokesman, brian fallon he found some remarks that peter schweitzer made at a koch brothers event last year. he said this is the clearest evidence yet that this widely discredited book is part of a coordinated republican attack strategy. >> they want to make this about the republicans. they want to make it about that book. they don't want to make it about the facts. they don't want to explain why she took her e-mails rogue. they want to make it about why she promised the white house, her president, our president, that she would not take foreign donations. . and yet they did. they didn't want to make it about why they couldn't release the fact that there was over 1,000 secret donations when in fact, they could.
2:44 pm
they don't want to make it about her actions. they want to make it about us in the media and about whether or not this affects her campaign. as soon as her polls start going up they'll say, people don't care about this this is old news. but this can never be old news the way somebody -- the way their record and actions reflect on how they'll be as a leader. >> the old news thing was a classic nik by thetechnique by the clinton white house. >> and they're not the only ones. she has the capability of being a transformational leader in our country, but not if she keeps behaving like this. >> now she's got a nominal opponent bernie sanders jumping into the race getting some attention. is the press going to build him up because we desperately want some kind of contest on the democratic side? >> our biggest bias is her con it's. we want a contest. democrats in iowa want a contest. democrats in new hampshire want a contest for their reason. so any glimmer of a fight, with especially from the left which is where she's vulnerable, we'll
2:45 pm
seize on. >> he's never going to be president, but there will come a time in this primary season where hillary clinton will look like she's not invulnerable. there will be a time when she's a lot more scared when she realizes that she's going to be. someone's going to give her a scare. >> so will the media be giving bernie sanders the appropriate amount of attention, or are we going to kind of build him up because he's the only other person in the race? >> i guess what it means by the appropriate time of contention. if the only issue is whether or not he can become president, we should ignore him. he's making the point, can someone who's not a billionaire become president? that's a very serious and important question. i don't think we can give him too much credit on that regard. if this is all about polls and we're going to be poll driven in the media, we'll ignore him.
2:46 pm
>> i'm also focusing on the issues he's raising. >> let's focus on him. ron fournier appreciate morefor stopping by. at least nine journalists were injured covering the baltimore riots. leland vitter with his experience on the front lines.

on baltimore to cover the riots. one man found himself in a tense situation. >> a police officer pulled me aside, a very senior captain, and he looked at me and said i can't protect you out there. he said you are on your own. he said if things start to go down and he said i try to come out and try to arrest anyone
2:50 pm
being physical meaning me he said i am going to insight this whole place. i cannot incite a riot in order to save you. he joins me now from baltimore. you're surrounded by angry protesters. the cop says he can't protect you. for you nervous? >> yeah. i think you'd be stupid not to be nervous. the part of that that was so interesting to me is that the police were terrify ofd doing their jobs and as we reported over the past week, it seems like the reason they were terrified is because the mayor held them back. you know the idea that the police were outnumbered and outflanked and outgunned is lunacy. we saw their weapons. we saw how much nonlethal force they 245d. it seems has though they had been told time and time again to just stand down to let it happen that unless they absolutely had to respond, to not respond. i think it's one of the reasons you saw this go on for so long
2:51 pm
and finally once the police came in and showed that they meant business things quieted down very quickly. >> not only were they not protected you. they initially weren't protecting the property and the stores and the cars. you expressed on the air one of the early nights that there was a lot of anti-media sentiment in the crowd. talk about that for a moment. >> it's something i never really thought i would see in america, when you watched what happened on the streets of baltimore. they were lawless. it was like times i'd spent in the middle east and the anti-media sentiment to me came from when you'd stick a camera in the face of somebody who was looting a store. they got angry, and any time you stick a camera in the face of someone doing something illegal. what i thought was interesting is the people who were watching and sometimes participating, if you gave them a forum and treated them with respect and went up and introduced yourself even if it was live nine times out of ten, people talked to
2:52 pm
you. i thought that was an interesting and telling part of what this community had. >> right, and their voices were instructive for us viewers at home to hear. one moment of yours that went viral was when you tried to ask a couple of questions of the mayor. let's play it for the viewers. >> what do you have to say to the businesses that were looted because of your order to stand down. we can't ask questions? a public official but can't ask questions? i can ask questions. will you answer them? you'll answer them then? then you'll answer the questions? >> at the press conference we will answer all questions. >> excuse us. excuse us. >> and, of course the mayor answered no questions at the news krchgs. devil's advocate. some viewers say you look pushy. you're pushing a microphone and trying to get an answer. how did you feel about how it played out? >> think about it this way.
2:53 pm
number one, the mayor has received a number of interview asks. she turned them down. she used her security team to duck out beforehand. if we hadn't asked those questions at that moment it wouldn't have happened. number two, when you think about this situation, and the way it went down here, as she walked down the hallway, she had every opportunity to stop and answer the question. there was a number of things she could have said that would have been fine and acceptable answers including i'm sorry, i was wrong that i embarrassed my city and the police department and tied everybody's hands but now i'm doing the right thing. she just stood silently by and let al sharpton act as her body guard. it was something i was stunned by truthly. >> that was odd, and of course, reverend not only aligning
