12:00 pm
the united states saying that's as important as every other city and the fact that we did get things under control, has been a phenomenal. our law enforcement people working together. we usually work pretty well together but this really helps. he has lot to do with that so thank you so much. he right in our prayers. >> a reputation as a great one, so thank you very much. and also we can't let that happen to this area and giant mobs demolished or damaged at least 25 businesses burned down, public buildings and threw bricks at police officers which they won't stand for, these are not acts of peaceful protest but really domestic terror. my administration coordinated with the state and local authorities to very swiftly deploy the national guard, stop
12:01 pm
the violence and i strongly support the use of the national guard and other cities in the same thing would be happening if we did that, you'd have the same thing happen in portland that would happen very quickly, it would all be over very quickly and i just want to thank the two of you for acting so strongly and so bravely and getting it done in the coordination has been fantastic. you still need coordination no matter how many people you send in. i just came from a visit of one of the businesses that was burned down in the great 109-year-old camera shop which i really respect because it had a reputation far beyond the state even and it's terrible to see. several other business owners are joining us and we have some in the back also, to stop the political violence we must also confront the radical ideology that includes this violence. reckless far left politicians continue to push the destructive message that our nation and our
12:02 pm
law enforcement are oppressive or racist, they will throw out any word that comes to them. we must give far greater support to our law enforcement. it's all about giving them additional support. these are great people, great people, brave people fighting to save people they've never met before in many cases, and they are incredible. we must really be thankful that we have them and we have to help them do their jobs. we can't be threatening them with their pensions being taken away, jobs taken away, everything taken away, going to be living a bad life if they utter an incorrect word, can't do it. we have to have our law enforcement, we cherish our law enforcement. we wouldn't be here without law enforcement. even me, i feel so safe and you went through just a few days ago, but i feel so safe. i'd better be safe. had better be safe, but we are
12:03 pm
all safe and safe because of law enforcement. and we honor you and i will say this, we have to condemn the dangerous antipolice rhetoric. is getting more and more, very unfair. you have some bad apples, we all know that, and those will be taken care of through the system and nobody's going to be easy on them either and you have people that are -- i said it yesterday, said it last night, under tremendous pressure and they may be there for 15 years and have a spotless record and all of a sudden faced with the decision and a quarter of a second to make a decision and if they make the wrong decision one way or the other, they're either dead or they are in big trouble and people have to understand that, they choke sometimes and it's a very tough situation. then people call them bad and horrible and they made a bad decision but if you think of it
quote
12:04 pm
and i know you've practice this all the time where you give people literally a quarter of a second to make a decision and a lot of them can't make that right decision. it's a very tough thing to do. the vast and overwhelming majority of police officers are honorable, courageous, and devoted public servants yet many politicians ignore their sacrifice and ignore the african-american, hispanic-american victims. we have people in the streets of wisconsin, there was love in the streets and so many african-americans, hispanic-americans, i can see waving, so beautiful to see. they want to have safety. they want to have safety. i'm not a huge believer in polls obviously but you look where it's 87% want to have great police. they want to have strong police
12:05 pm
and safety. they are the ones that are most affected by tragedies like you will see going around when these allegations of police wrongdoing and when you see that they have made allegations, they must be fully and fairly investigated and that's what we're doing. bill barr has done a fantastic job in that respect and fully understand that because you do have problems the other way but the sad thing is, you can do 10,000 great jobs as a policeman or policewoman, you can do an incredible job for years and then you have one bad apple or something happens that's bad and that's the nightly news for three weeks, that's all they talk about. they don't talk about the thousands and thousands of good jobs and lives that you saved, they never talk about it. so i'm committed to helping kenosha rebuild mode we all are. we will provide $1 million to
12:06 pm
the kenosha law enforcement so you have some extra money to go out and do what you have to do, it was a rough week to put it mildly and you did and did incredibly well and also providing nearly $4 million to support the small businesses that i talk about today that got burned up or burned down and we are going to be providing over $42 million to support public safety statewide including direct support for law enforcement and funding for additional prosecutors to punish criminals and resources to provide services to victims of crime and that was bill barr that wanted that money put in, so that's $42 million that will help with prosecutors and all of the other things that are so important to you, you need that. when you grab them and then nothing happens and they are back on the street, that doesn't work out too well. my administration is restoring public safety hiring more police, tough on crime federal prosecutors, increasing penalties for assaulting
12:07 pm
law enforcement and for dismantling antifa. they don't want to mention the word antifa, nobody mentions it, a bad group of people, very bad, dangerous group of people and we are doing a big number on nt five. they are bad. earlier this year, we announced operation legend to surge federal law enforcement the high crime neighborhoods. in it as a thing that has really worked out amazingly well, but it's really understated in a sense, already conducted more than 1,000 arrests in our first months in chicago. we went to chicago very recently and that's been a disaster, chicago, total disaster with again radical left democrats, everything is democrat. all these problems are democrat cities. we don't want to say it, but it is. he going to the top 25 and take a look at that, it's the same
12:08 pm
thing. >> bret: hear you hear president trump in kenosha, wisconsin, at a roundtable today where he is thinking police officers and listening to owners of local businesses they are in kenosha that were badly damaged, destroyed some of them including that 109-year-old camera shop doing the right that ensued after the shooting of jacob blake. the big news at the top of the hour is the president saying he is committing $1 million to kenosha law enforcement to help them, $4 million to local businesses and $42 million across the state for law enforcement and to add additional prosecutors. in the last hour, the president to word some of the damage from the riots, the governor has said that he did not want the president there. one thing we did here was universal thanks to the national guard for coming in and helping to quell the violence. right now, we want to bring in general dan hogan sin, the national guard chief and he
12:09 pm
knows all about this, it's good to see you, thank you so much for being with us. you are in alaska today and we appreciate you taking the time. you heard they are the camera shop owner and some other saying thank you for the national guard coming into kenosha and helping to quell the violence. can you tell us what was the guards experience they are in dealing with the violence that consumed kenosha? >> thank you for the opportunity to meet with you today and i think this is another really good news story where the communities ask for their support and they were there and in many cases our soldiers, airmen, and their families are members of these communities and they want to do everything they can to help protect them. >> bret: before you moved on to the northern command and then on to become the chief of the national guard bureau, you are the adjutant general in oregon. what could you do in portland if the governor of the state were to ask president trump to send the national guard in?
12:10 pm
>> in that case, there's plenty of capability within the national guard and the adjutant general that works directly for the governor of the state of oregon. any resources or capabilities that they would like if they are not provided within oregon they can ask for those capabilities from outside the state and we have other states like you saw in wisconsin that provided the support and the capabilities they were looking for. >> bret: what is at the guard can bring to a situation like that that neither local police nor the state police would be able to bring? the state police have said they are not going to go into portland until they start arresting some of these people that are causing so much troub trouble. >> in that case, we are there to support law enforcement and other cities around the united states. you go back to early june, 43,000 national guard on the streets of the united states and what we found is in most cases, the communities were glad to have them there and be part of
12:11 pm
the process to help de-escalate the situation and allow them to peacefully protest in the communities where they live. >> when you left your mission there to take on your position at northern command, gave you a glowing review. she couldn't say enough things about you. you have the opportunity to say something to the governor right now about how to deal with the situation in portland and the potential involvement of the national guard, what would you say? >> in that case, having been gone for a little while, i have to defer to the current adjutant general, but i know that he is in close communication with the governor and if they ask for anything, i know mike will be there to support them and can't provide internally working with the state surrounding them to provide any additional capability that they might need. >> bret: having spent so much time as you did an oregon, what's your opinion of what's going on in the city?
12:12 pm
>> it's really hard to say not being there locally right now but i know for the folks there, they just want to make sure we do everything we can to support our communities and our national guardsmen are there to protect our communities and our property, so given that mission, they'll do everything they can because they live in those communities as well. >> the charge has been from mayor ted wheeler and to some degree that putting federal -- i don't want to say forces because they are not really forces but putting federal law enforcement into portland exacerbated the situation. do you believe that if the national guard went in there -- i know some can be brought in from other states as well would exacerbate the situation or would it have a calming effect? >> the best experiences to look back as i mentioned earlier the fact that we had 43,000 across the country and appears to have a very good effect down to 3,000 today and we are actually much lower than that prior to kenosha
12:13 pm
so i think the fact that our communities are receptive and see the benefit looks to provide in our communities by bringing peace and protection to community and the property has a great impact we have seen all across the nation. >> bret: we should also mention that at the same time, they are national guard members who continue to be on the border, some down in louisiana responding to the hurricane, others that are helping fight the wildfires in california, how is that mission going? >> this is what the national guard was built for. we've got 66,000 engaged in as you just mentioned, they've deployed overseas and they look at the forest fires, the recovery about 4,000 there, they are making a difference every single day in their community and if you go back to early june, had over 120,000 engaged
12:14 pm
at that time so we are there, just a tremendous value for america and living in those communities and want to make a difference in every single one. >> bret: the chief of the national guard bureau, thank you so much for joining us and appreciate you taking time out of your day. now let's go back to kenosha where the attorney general is speaking. >> there's going to be accountability. what people don't see is that in all of these cities, there are task forces of federal and state officers reviewing all the video that we can get our hands on and when we are able to identify people who committed crimes in these riots going all the way back to the beginning whether they are burning police cars were throwing rocks at people which are deadly, they will be prosecuted. and that's a large-scale effort and it's going to continue. so i can tell you, mr. president that as far as the federal government is concerned,
12:15 pm
we welcome the opportunity to work with state and local to deal with this public safety issue. in it is used to working together. we do a good job and we are allowed to work together. this is no different than dealing with violent crime where we work together. we can achieve results and the federal government is willing to use all of our tools to bring these people to justice. >> thank you very much, doing a great job, thank you. senator ron johnson from your wonderful state and in the senate, is one of the best. please. >> there's no doubt what you've been talking about in terms of the decisiveness, the resolve, 44 different counties sent representatives from different sheriff departments and really helped stop the writing and bring peace to the streets. but we have him and his wife and
12:16 pm
reached out because i was so appreciative of julie jackson's word of forgiveness and healing. the support for law enforcement with people that also want to end the violence, that are willing to forgive and willing to offer those words of healing. was very appreciative and thank you for calling me back. that's also incredibly important. here in wisconsin, a little bit of an aside, but charles krauthammer, you always hear minnesota nice. i say wisconsin even nicer. and it's true, we are nice people. we have common sense. we all want a safe and prosperous but secure kenosha, wisconsin america so we do share the same goal. is so important to support
12:17 pm
law enforcement and my message to the folks out here is it's a very small percentage of the american population that are doing the rioting, trying to defund the police, the vast majority are so appreciative of the service and the sacrifice and the help they get from law enforcement so i don't want law enforcement to be dispirited at all because the vast majority are for you, the vast majority of wisconsinites but at the same time, it takes american citizens to offer those words of forgiveness and trying to attain that healing. so again, i think you for coming here to think law enforcement and support law enforcement but also coming here to support the citizens of kenosha and wisconsin as we rebuild, as we recover from something the vast majority of people of horror and do not support. >> thank you very much, appreciate.
12:18 pm
>> i appreciate you being here. the events spiraled out of control. >> as we continue to go around the horn here, we might hear from chad wolf sitting on the left side of the screen. has been monitoring all of the developments of the day. this really is topic a across the nation today. what does it seem like on the streets this afternoon? >> the president's visit here certainly reinvigorated the demonstrations and really change the dynamic. i'll give you a visual tour and show you how. the uc a few trump-penn's flags flying around here. you will see a lot of the black lives matter demonstrations. there is a sign on the backside of it right here that says hashtag out now. so it's taken on a very political dynamic out here with a lot of competing interests in
12:19 pm
the wake of the shootings. the court house here has always been a point of friction ever since jacob blake was shot and a lot of heated tempers, pushing and shoving and i don't mean to over elevate the extent of the tension of this particular location but it shows there is some tension because of that you have law enforcement at the ready, you have some 1500 national guardsmen in wisconsin, 500 of them from out-of-state and should be noted that the governor of wisconsin requested the president didn't come here. >> i felt the timing was wrong. we always have room for presidents to come and visit, candidates to come and visit, a process we have and something we appreciate and have people do but the timing on this we felt was not good. >> on the other side of the coin predictably you have a republican of this area very happy that the president has
12:20 pm
come saying very grateful that the president is here for law enforcement and as we look at this location at civic center park where the demonstrations with all these competing interests, another demonstration at the location where jacob blake was shot and should note that demonstration is largely uneventful and very peaceful. >> mike tobin for us in the streets and as we saw they were in the round table that the president had, some owners of local businesses very happy that the president was there, very appreciative of the federal aid that will be coming as well, couple of quotes from business owners, the losses are staggering at this point and thinking the president for a rapid response. we have a big show coming up as we continue to bring full coverage of the president's trip to kenosha. richard fowler and matt schlapp on how civic unrest has been a critical issue in the 2020 election and we remember when violent protests broke out in ferguson, missouri, a number of years ago. i will talk with sly james, the
12:21 pm
mayor of kansas city, missouri, at the time plus president trump just announced that $4 million to businesses some of the money man charles payne to react to that and now you can save $3000 a year. veterans can shortcut the process with newday's va streamline refi. there's no appraisal, no income verification, and not a single dollar out of pocket. rates are at the lowest they've been in our lifetimes. one call can save you $3000 a year.
12:22 pm
12:23 pm
i'm a delivery operations manager in san diego, california. we were one of the first stations to pilot a fleet of electric vehicles. we're striving to deliver a package with zero emissions into the air. i feel really proud of the impact that has on the environment.
12:24 pm
we have two daughters and i want to do everything i can to protect the environment so hopefully they can have a great future.
12:25 pm
>> i'm also providing nearly $4 million to support small businesses that i talk about today that got burned up and burn down and we are going to be providing over $42 million with public safety statewide including direct support for law enforcement and funding for additional prosecutors to punish criminals and resources to provide services to victims of crime. >> president trump just a few minutes ago announcing a total of $47 million to help kenosha and wisconsin in the wake of the riots there.
12:26 pm
a lot of businesses were terribly affected and many of them actually destroyed. charles payne from fox business joins me now and you look at $4 million for businesses, doesn't go that far these days presumably some of these businesses also have insurance but i'm sure that will be a welcome shot in the arm today. >> it really will be. think about this, 650 businesses but they have 15 or fewer employees talking about very small businesses. when that pandemic was really roaring back in april, they were able to help 23 businesses with just 75,000 gyms, restaurants, clothing stores so 4 million is going to go a lot further than you think and then of course, that's going to inspire more contributions from larger businesses in milwaukee in larger cities so this is more than just a drop in the bucket. it's a phenomenal move and i'm really happy for those businesses who are the lifeblo
12:27 pm
lifeblood. >> unlike the following announcement from mayor bill de blasio, listen here. it's a lot of cocktail party culture with people honestly dealing with this issue. help me redistribute wealth. >> people are already leaving new york in droves driving property in places like what is this going to do to new york city. >> there were 29% of new york city now down to 24% and dropping even quicker. this is just the wrong prescription for an issue where the idea of the robin hood thing i will take from the poor and give to the downtrodden, people
12:28 pm
would prefer if they remove all the regulations stopping them from improving their lives. this is awful that you can't improve your life yourself in new york city and i think they were able to they wouldn't have to worry about taking from the rich who can easily move out of new york city. >> president trump wants to get people more money in their pockets deferring the payroll tax which should start very so soon. 6.2% take home to pay every week but what people are not really talking about is the fact that unless the president were to make that deferral permanent, people are going to have to make up for that in the beginning of next year. >> it's a deferment and you would have to make -- it's
12:29 pm
unlikely to be able to become permanent although it wouldn't be bad certainly in the business side, this is a shot in the arm. it's a measure that's going to happen until they get their act together. we have a remarkable rebound going on in this country but it only happened because of the momentum we have, the ingenuity and hard work of americans in a quick action by the federal government and federal reserve. so president trump is trying to keep this bridge going but we need more. >> hosts a virtual town hall with dave portnoy talking about how you can take your own wealth and investments, 2:00 eastern on fox business. president trump speaking in kenosha, wisconsin, after protests there and in portland,
12:30 pm

( ♪ ) priceline. every trip is a big deal. atthe perfect schmearnow of cream cheese. the recipe we invented over 145 years ago
12:32 pm
and me...the world's best, and possibly only, schmelier. philadelphia. schmear perfection. >> jumping into this break because the president taking questions in kenosha, wisconsin. >> the senator, congressman, it was a beautiful thing. just worked. and it was done almost instantly. people were amazed and as you
12:33 pm
probably will have to report, may be people are surprised. there has been zero problem in terms of your safety, our safety. they feel so safe. and for five days ago, we couldn't have done this, the law enforcement has been so great and we can do this in portland so quickly and so easily, it would be incredible. we would've done done in seattle. all set to go into seattle as you know the following day and they heard that and sent the police and they did a good job. they love to help, oregon would love to help portland because we can solve that problem so easily. we have people that are ready to be there in less than an hour, less than an hour and it would all end. and they've got a glimpse of that in this great state,
12:34 pm
they've got a really good glimpse of it, happened very quickly and i see it, they are already rebuilding, rebuilding the store soon, the camera shot. so we don't want to do that but at some point going to have to do it. going to have to do it. in >> i know you didn't get a chance to talk to them but what would you say to them in terms f the pain they are going through and the questions i have about what happened? >> i feel terribly for anybody that goes through that. that's why i was so on the to meet the pastors. i feel terribly for anybody who goes through this and it's under investigation, a big thing happening right now. it's a local investigation group unit and i hope they come up with the right answer, a complicated subject to be honest with you.
12:35 pm
i didn't get to speak to the mother. i hear she's a fine woman. i've heard that from the pastor, a really fine woman, but you can see when i spoke to the pastors, i see exactly what it is and if we can help, we are going to help. is a question under investigation, a lot of things happen with that and other things frankly that we are looking at very closely. i >> should every police officer in the united states where a body camera? >> a body cam, well, very interesting. let me ask bill to answer that question. >> that's a local issue for each police force in each community come of the political leaders of the community to decide upon, but i think most law enforcement
12:36 pm
people i know who were originally skeptical of body cameras are now coming around to feel they are actually a net benefit. >> the whole thing with a body cam, you read it and you read two sides of the story. how do you feel about it? >> i believe body cameras are helpful. i believe it shows both sides were right now officers would be vindicated for some of the things they've been accused of and certainly if it were inappropriate actions, those would be captured. i support them. >> put into the budget for 2021, we will be having them. >> the problem of police violence is just bad apples,
12:37 pm
some african-american communities and others have said it is systemic. where do you stand on that. >> i believe that. they're doing an incredible job and i think you do have some bad apples. and you do have the other situation and under tremendous pressure they don't handle it very well. they call it choking, and it happens. i don't believe that at all. i've met so many police. endured so many, may be everybody and frankly, i think they are incredible people. they want to do the right thing. it's a tough job, a dangerous job, but i have to say this to the police, the people of our country love you. you don't hear that, you don't hear it from them but the people of our country love you and respect you and you know it, you
12:38 pm
feel it in your heart or you wouldn't be doing it, but there's a great love and when they see a case like this where it solved so quickly, they respect the police a lot, really a lot. you should hear it at least. >> to follow on that, we are focused on violent actions but there have been countless nonviolent protests here in wisconsin and across the country this summer, people calling for an end to systemic racism. do you believe systemic racism is a problem in this country? >> you just keep getting back to the opposite subject. we should talk about the kind of violence that we've seen in portland and here and other places. it's tremendous violence. you always get to the other side of what do you think about this or that. the fact is we have seen tremendous violence and we will put it out very quickly given the chance and that's what this is all about. i keep hearing about protests,
12:39 pm
hear about everything and then i come into an area like this and see the town has burned down. you look at minneapolis, they should have acted much quicker when we got the national guard and they are, it took literally a half hour. he saw the scene. was over, and they weren't allowed to do the job that they could do, very good police department but now they want to break it up, they want to end it, don't want to have a police department, they want to get rid of it. it's ridiculous. so i just say thi this that thed of violence that i saw, you may have protesters, but you have some really bad people. you have anarchists and looters and rioters, agitators, and that's what you should be focusing on with your question. i keep hearing about peaceful protests.
12:40 pm
really, insert the media very badly because you have people on one of the networks, more than one, many of them saying how it's a peaceful protest and over the shoulder, you see the whole place is burning down. it's become a pretty common site so i don't view the peaceful protest, i think peaceful protesting is fantastic. i think it's great, but by and large, this is not peaceful protest. when you walk into an area and you see buildings burned down and fortunately here we stopped it early and so the damage is relatively minimal but when you look at some of these areas that they just don't ask for the he help, us to go in and help them and by the time you get there, is disintegrated and then they say it was a peaceful protest. it's not a peaceful protest and you shouldn't call it a peaceful protest.
12:41 pm
>> you're going to have to speak up. >> the peaceful protests that have happened, you have acknowledged some of them aren't peaceful. they are calling for structural change. mr. blake was shot seven times in the back. there was a need for structural change. what is your message? >> people are calling for structural change of venue take the people of kenosha that aren't here and you won't see and are protesting but they want change also, they want to see law and order. they want law and order. they want the police to be police. they want the police to do what they do better than everybody else in the world and that's what they want too. you don't see them marching and you don't see them on the streets. what they want is great police force. they want people that are going to keep them safe where there houses aren't broken into, where they are not murdered. that's what they want. and they are protesters but they don't walk down the street up and down the street.
12:42 pm
just the way it is. i want to thank you and i will see you back on the plane, thank you very much, thank you. great job. fantastic job. >> president trump wrapping up his event, his roundtable with chad wolf, the attorney general and law enforcement in them area along with several business owners who were really hit very hard and the riots after the james blake shooting. let's bring in our panel, richard fowler is senior fellow at the new leaders council and a fox news contributor and matt schlapp, chairman of the american conservative union. you had a chance to watch the roundtable there, heard from some of the business owners whose lives were affected so badly. was it the right thing more the righwrong thing for the presideo go there? >> let me condemn all forms of violence no matter who does it and no matter when it happens and who it happens too, there is
12:43 pm
no need for that in this country. i think what we saw from the president who is conflating two different things. him conflating the law and order and him conflating what we are seeing take place all across the country. let me address the law and order part first. you talk to anybody in this country no matter what their color is, they want them to have law and order and what law and order means pretty simply as if somebody breaks into your home, you want them to come. that's public safety 101. with that being said, another problem that is brewing. a recent gallup poll found that only one in five african-americans feel when they interact with the police, is there respect, dignity and courtesy and the question being asked by the press is rooted in that and the president has not answered that question and that's why they were people protesting all across the country because african-americans are asking for the same form of justice like what happened to
12:44 pm
mr. rittenhouse, can shoot and kill two individuals, walk away and go home whereas mr. blake was shot seven times when he was going to check on his three sons in his car and was shot in front of his children. >> you heard the president say he's got no problem with peaceful protests and welcomes it but what he does not condone is the writing we have seen that happened in kenosha again, the writing that has gone on in portland, oregon, for almost 100 days now. >> i think decent people can come together and say we shouldn't have all this random violence, so i applaud richard for his statement but i think we are having a disconnect. you can't say we don't want violence but support a group whose number one policy goal is to defund the cops because when you defund the cops and you put the cops on defense, we have these riots that break out and lawlessness breaks out and what the left then tries to say and what joe biden tries to say and democrats trying to say is it's good people protesting and then bad people come in.
12:45 pm
and i think they're trying to be clever. the fact is when you say you don't need cops in the community or should not have the resources to stop crime, you know what you get? a lot of crime and if you are in an urban core, do you know who was victimized by that crime? people of color who owned shops and you see their kids get shot on the streets and they see a big dysfunctional city and that's why people are getting out of the cities and that's bad for us, that's bad for all of us. let's stop the violence but stop supporting groups like black lives matter and antifa who are causing the violence by stopping cops from doing their job. >> clearly, this is having an effect. >> with all due respect. >> we have about 30 seconds. >> let me ask a question because you're missing my point here, i agree with you on that but you still haven't answered the point that why is it only one in five african-americans feel that they are not treated with respect and
12:46 pm
dignity by police? that's why thousands of us are taking to the streets and asking for that. that's why the jacob lake family is asking for their son to be treated with the same respect. you missed that whole point. >> i don't think so at all. i don't know if you've heard from the widow of the slain officer who was acting as a security guard in st. louis. >> again, that is a red herring. >> it is not a red herring. i would like you to listen to me now. there are cops in these inner cities, the cops are the color of the rainbow. they call from all of our communities and it's wrong for you to say universally that somehow all cops have it against all black people. i think those are the mistaken statements that we are not able to resolve. >> is one thing and everybody can agree with -- i'm sorry, we are out of time. i think everybody can agree we still need to look at the idea

of police reforms are everybody feels as though they are treated with respect and dignity. meanwhile, joe biden and kamala harris released a preprerecorded videos, no mention of any of these cities. >> hi, there. and that socially distant conversation was taped right after the dnc and was before the shooting of jacob lake before any of this unrest, so no mention of that in that video either. however, democrats did hold a press call talking about president trump's visit to kenosha. they said he is not they are in a healing capacity, not going there to meet with jacob blake's family and claims that when biden goes which will be at some point soon, he will make it more than a campaign appearance, that is what campaign officials said. yesterday in pennsylvania, biden

blamed president trump for selling division and causing chaos and at a white house briefing again accused trump of using it for political gain writing the president has declined to renounce violence and wouldn't repudiate one of his supporters who was charged with murder because of his attacks on others bear the hatred he has served and put an end to it. president trump in that briefing yesterday did say violence is unacceptable but did not rebuke kyle rittenhouse. meantime, biden is trying to set the record straight on defunding police in a local news interview last night after republican circulated and edited video where biden appears to support redirecting police funds. that clip was put together by a progressive group and it ends in key parts of his answers when he proposes conditioning police funding like banning a choke hold and also proposing bolstering social services to support police. >> i not only not want to defund police, i want to add $300 million to their budgets to

>> neil: president trump meeting with officials in winokur wisconsin in the wake of the protests and arrests there. joining me now was the former mayor of kansas city, mayor of the 2014 ferguson protests that boiled over into other cities.
12:54 pm
he's also author of a new book. good to talk to you today. what did you think of the president's visit to wisconsin today, because i know in the wake of protests, which were peaceful and kansas city, you think about the police and protesters were cooperating with each other to keep it from getting out of hand. >> thank you very much for having me but at the end of the day, in order to lead our city through a crisis, one of the things you have to do is credibility with the citizens that you are lead. in order to have that credibility, you have to show that you not only understand what the problems are but that you are committed to try to work with them in order to resolve those problems. if you can't do those two things, then they become very suspicious of your motivations or your actions and for showing up. in this particular case, there has to be some recognition of the underlying root causes of the protests and i'm going to say right now so that nobody gets confused, there is nobody that i know, and i certainly do
12:55 pm
not condone any violence, any protests, and a burning of things, any looting, that is not with the protests are about. in fact, those things distract from the root causes of the protests and those of the things people want to latch onto so they don't have to deal with the root causes. this cannot be a political issue. this is an issue that affects the lives of americans, regardless of where they live. any city can be the next kenosha, wisconsin. any city can be the next ferguson. in order to avoid that, you need leadership that is prepared to meet you where you are and have the tough conversations about what the issues are and try to work with people, bringing coalitions together in order to solve those problems. if you can't do that and you can't lead through the protests, you can't lead to the problem and if you can't lead through the problems and people become suspicious of why you were there and what you are doing there. in this case, it's apparent there is a misunderstanding of
12:56 pm
what the root causes are, systemic racism exists. this automatically puts you in a bad situation with the people who are protesting that systemic racism. >> sly james, unfortunately your time is very, very short but we do thank you for joining us this afternoon. but your healthcare costs too much. now that our president has had months but he still doesn't have a plan. what happens now? joe biden knows how to lead through a crisis because he's done it before. when our economy was on the verge of collapse, joe biden led the largest economic stimulus in a generation and saved millions of jobs. now joe biden is ready to lead us through this crisis. he knows rebuilding our economy starts with fighting the virus, increasing testing, getting more protective gear for healthcare workers and calling for mask mandates nationwide. as president, he'll get working families back on their feet by lowering healthcare costs
12:57 pm
and helping small businesses recover. so what happens now? we elect a president who will build back better. i'm joe biden and i approve this message. record low mortgage rates have dropped even lower. at newday, veterans can shortcut the refinance process and save $250 a month. $3000 dollars a year. with the va streamline refi at newday, there's no appraisal, no income verification, and no out of pocket costs. one call can save you $3000 a year.
