2:00 pm
garden for a better part of 45 minutes now. the president will have his first foreign visitor, the prime minister of japan. we're on that with more. ♪ ♪ >> jesse: hello, everyone, i am jesse watters along with judge jeanine pirro, geraldo rivera, unrest continuing in american cities. but he can put 13-year-old adam toledo was armed when a police officer told him to drop his weapon. the cop then fired one shot, killing him.
2:01 pm
the police union says the shooting was justified. >> he would have been justified shooting multiple times. we are basically to shoot two and reassess. that didn't even happen because the time he had shot the first time a justification he realized the gun was out of his hand, he didn't shoot a second time. >> jesse: liberal lawmakers are fanning the flames. aoc is claiming prosecutors lied about "police killing a child." another squad member says the cop "executed" him. the white house is weighing in on the situation. >> it is certainly chilling and a reminder that across the country, there are far too many communities where there is violence that is impacting that too often in this country, law enforcement uses unnecessary force resulting in the death of black and brown americans. >> jesse: while authorities in minnesota prepare for another
2:02 pm
night of protest, a blm activist is defending the anarchy, tweeting "i am definitely in the camp of defending rioting and looting as a legitimate, politically informed response to state violence." geraldo, go to chicago here, 3:00 in the morning, police responding to shots fired. you have a 13-year-old running down an alleyway in the dark with a handgun. it's bang-bang, happens like that. police say he was a member of the latin kings. fox hasn't confirmed that but that neighborhood was a stronghold for that gang. how do you see what happened in this tragic situation? >> geraldo: it is a tragic situation and while the officer may have a technical defense or a real defense, self defense if he was ever charged with the crime of involuntary manslaughter like the cop in minnesota used a handgun
2:03 pm
thinking it was a taser, i think the policeman in chicago in the alleyway might have a good defense against that charge or at least would have a fighting chance but that misses the point entirely. we are talking about a barely 13-year-old, developmentally disabled, special needs kid who is in seventh grade, a latino kid in seventh grade. in seventh grade. a lot of layers there, sociological and so forth but you understand that this is why black and brown families are terrified of encounters with police. this is why the relationship between black and blue is if not severed, severely damaged and dangling by a thread. parents are as fearful of police as they are of the gang bangers or crooks. it shouldn't be that way. this is a baby.
2:04 pm
you look at his pictures, he is a baby. yes, he went wrong and no dad was around and you can have all those other reasons for what happened for him to be out there at 2:00 in the morning with a 21-year-old seasoned criminal, but the fact of the matter remains that a barely 13-year-old kid with special needs, latino kid, brown kid with special needs is dead by a cop's bullet. >> jesse: i saw judge jeanine nodding your head and shaking it, i would like you to respond. >> judge jeanine: look, i was ada and a judge for 30 years. we don't do a psychological analysis of the person who was shot. we make a decision based upon the facts. the police are called to a neighborhood at 3:00 in the morning. the call is shots fired. the police are chasing two people down an alley. one apparently is arrested and
2:05 pm
they chase this 13-year-old. i don't know they knew he was 13. it doesn't matter. they tell him stop, stop now, show me your hands, show me your hands. drop it, drop it now, and there is one second, less than a second between the time he sees the gun and the time he is shot. the cop doesn't know whether or not that teenager, this 13-year-old is reaching for the gun to drop it or to shoot him, if he is looking at the cop as the target. let's not dillydally around this. >> jesse: we've got to go because we're going to take you to joe biden who is with the prime minister of japan holding a joint news conference. >> the first time i have asked in my administration to come to the white house. yoshi, thank you for making the long trip to washington. we've already met several times virtually at a g7 meeting and a quad leaders summit but i greatly appreciate the chance to
2:06 pm
spend time with you in person and to make our exchange of ideas face-to-face. there is no substitute for face-to-face discussions. we are still taking covid precautions, being careful, but our commitment to me in person is indicative of the importance and the value we both place on this relationship between japan and the united states, this partnership. we had a very productive discussion today. when nations as close as ours get together, we always look for opportunities to do more, and today was no exception. yoshi, you will probably be seeing a lot more of me in the future but today, the prime minister and i have affirmed our iron clad support for u.s. japanese alliance in for our shared security. we committed to working together, to take on the challenges from china and on
2:07 pm
issues like the east china sea, the south china sea as well as north korea to ensure a future of a free and open indo pacific. japan and the united states are two strong democracies in the region and we are committed to defending and advancing our shared values including human rights and the rule of law. we are going to work together to prove that democracies can still compete and win in the 21st century. we can deliver for our people and in the face of a rapidly changing world. so today, we're announcing the new competitive and reliance partnership core between japan and the united states that will enhance our ability, enhance our ability to meet the pressing challenges of our time. together meet those challenges. top of our agenda is of course getting the pandemic under control and helping our friends and neighbors throughout the
2:08 pm
indo pacific region recover. earlier this year we together with india and australia launched the quad vaccine partnership to expand the manufacturing of covid-19 vaccines and assist countries throughout the region with vaccination efforts. and we agreed to enhance our support for global vaccination efforts through the act accelerator and covid facility. we are also going to do more beyond this pandemic to advance longer-term goals for health security, reform of the world health organization and establishing a new partnership, a new partnership on health security to help build a better preparedness for the next pandemic, because there will be others. secondly, japan and the united states are both deeply invested in innovation and looking to the future. that includes making sure we invest in and protect the
2:09 pm
technologies we will maintain and sharpen our competitive edge. and those technologies are governed by shared democratic norms that we both share. norms set by democracies, not by autocracies. so we are going to work together across a range of fields, from supporting secure and reliable 5g networks to increasing our cooperation on supply chains for critical sectors like semiconductors to driving joint research, areas like ai, genomics, quantum computing and much more. thirdly, our nations are committed to taking aggressive action to meet the threats of climate change. next week i will be hosting the climate leaders summit, which prime minister also plans to attend, thankfully, to making
2:10 pm
ambitious climate commitments in the lead up to glasgow this year. japan and the united states are both committed to achieving that zero emissions by 2050 and we know to do that will require setting and meeting our 2030 goals and we will work together to advance clean energy technologies and help nations throughout the indo pacific region. especially developing countries. develop renewable energies and d carbonized their economies. and finally, both prime minister suga and i value the incredible partnership that exists not just between governments but between the japanese people and american people. last month, we jointly marked the 10-year anniversary of the sun nami and nuclear disaster that caused so many in japan i visited the area shortly after it happened, and the prime minister and i talked
2:11 pm
about when i was vice president visiting the families in the region to show support of the united states. we continue to mourn the loss of all those folks and only the extraordinary joint effort between japan and the american people. in the wake of that tragedy to recover and rebuild. and those personal bonds of friendship and connection. they're the ones who are going to keep this strong and vibrant for decades to come. i'm especially proud that today we agreed to resume what is called the mansfield fellowship program. to promote people to people connections between our countries. before mike mansfield, who was a beloved ambassador to japan became ambassador, he was a mentor of mine when i came to the senate after my wife and daughter were killed.
2:12 pm
he helped me along in ways i can't even explain, in the united states senate. and i am proud, i am proud that this legacy continues to be honored as part of a close enduring partnership between our nations. i know how proud you are, the people of japan are and you've got the japanese boy coming over here and guess what? he won the masters. he won the green jacket. he was the first japanese player to take on that green jacket at the masters tournament this week. so let me say congratulations to japan as well on that feat. mr. prime minister, thank you for making a trip. i look forward to all japan and the united states will accomplish together in the coming years. it was a great honor having you as the first head of state in my administration. the floor is yours.
2:13 pm
[speaking japanese] >> translator: i would like to thank biden and vice president harris who have welcomed and been so warm. i also would like to extend my gratitude to members of the u.s. government who have worked to prepare this occasion. the united states is japan's best friend. japan and the u.s. are allies that share universal values such as freedom, democracy, and human rights. our alliance has grown as the foundation of these instability for the indo pacific region and the world.
2:14 pm
in light of the current regional situation and the severe security environment, the importance of our alliance has reached new heights. based on such common recognition at today's summit, we are engaged in strong reaching and candid views on each other's political principles, challenges faced in each of our nations, our common vision, and other matters. president biden and i reaffirmed the recognitions confirmed at the japan-u.s. two plus two held last month and agreed to engage in initiatives for the region based on such recognition. we also discussed the free and open indo pacific.

2:18 pm
perspective of mitigating the impact on local communities, including first and foremost, okinawa, we agreed to promote the realignment of the u.s. in japan including the relocation of air station -- which is [indistinct] in responding to the unprecedented crisis faced by the international community because of covid-19 and climate change, japan and the u.s. are mutually indispensable partners. president biden and i share the recognition that our two nations share significant responsibilities to the multilateral initiatives toward the resolution of these issues. in this context, we agreed to respect international order
2:19 pm
based on the rule of law while exercising joint leadership to build back better our global community. based on such outcome of our meeting today, we are policing the japan-u.s. joint leaders statement, global partnership for a new era, which will serve as the guiding post for our alliance in the times ahead, which strongly demonstrates our solidarity towards the realization of a free and open indo pacific. from the perspective of our two nations' leading efforts to build back better, president biden and i agree on the japan-u.s. core partnership
2:20 pm
and confirmed to promote cooperation's in common priority areas including promotion of competitiveness and innovation in digital technology, covid-19 countermeasures, green growth, and climate change. >> translator: on competitiveness and innovation, on recognition that new technologies in particular will bring about social transformation and huge economic opportunities, we have agreed that japan and the u.s. will work together on the promotion of r&d in response to covid-19, from short-term responses to longer-term efforts including their preparations for future similar incidents, we will work on the promotion of vaccines and

2:22 pm
president biden who wanted climate partnership on decarbonization and green energy. under these initiatives, i wish to give impetus to comprehensive japan-u.s. corporations. i discussed the increase of discrimination or violence against asian people across the u.s. with president biden and agreed that discrimination by race cannot be permitted in any society. we agreed on this regard. president biden commented that discrimination and violence is cannot be allowed and that he firmly opposes, that was extremely encouraging for me and
2:23 pm
i have renewed my confidence in american democracy once again. i told the president about my determination to realize that the summer olympic games in tokyo this summer as a symbol of global unity. president biden once again expressed his support for this determination. japan is listening to and learning from the w.h.o. and experts, and are doing everything possible to contain infection and to realize safe and secure games from scientific and objective perspective, we will do our utmost in preparation. freedom, democracy, human rights, rule of law. as we firmly need to send and universal values that japan and the u.s. share or look forward
2:24 pm
to the outcomes of today's significant meeting and to realize a free and open indo pacific by further collaboration and deep in cooperation with joe. i once again express my heartfelt gratitude for the kind invitation. thank you. >> president biden: now we will each take a few questions and i will begin by recognizing the associated press. you have the first question. there you are. >> reporter: thank you, mr. president and mr. prime minister. mr. president, in your last press conference, you said successful presidents prioritize and you were focusing your agenda on one thing at a time. i would like to just ask you, what would you say to many americans who voted for you
2:25 pm
about the legislative progress on gun control and police reform, having to wait while we pursue infrastructure, given that we continue to see these incidents with mass shootings and also police involved shootings, including the incident a lot of us saw in chicago most recently. do you feel any need to reprioritize your agenda? >> president biden: i have never not prioritized to this. no one has worked harder to deal with the violence by individuals using weapons than i have. i am the only one to ever have passed an assault weapons ban. i'm the only one who has ever had a 10-year assault weapons ban, and a ban on more than ten clip of bullets. i asked the attorney general to put together the things i could do by executive order, including dealing with new guns that can be made, you can buy in pieces and put together, and other initiatives. i strongly support, i strongly support the universal background checks, which i continue to
2:26 pm
push, congress has to step up and act, senate has to act, i strongly support and continue supporting the ban on assault weapons and magazines that hold more than ten bullets. it doesn't mean that i can't also be working at the same time on the economy and on covid. but it's not a question of my being able to set the agenda as to what you can move to first. i continue and strongly, strongly urge my friends in congress who refused to bring up the bill to bring it up now. this has to end. it's a national embarrassment. it's a national embarrassment what's going on. it's not only these last mass shootings that are occurring. every single day there is a mass shooting in the united states if you count all those who are killed out on the streets of our
2:27 pm
cities and our rural areas. at the national embarrassment and must come to an end. and one last thing, the folks who own weapons, the folks who own guns, they support universal background checks. the majority of them think they should not be selling assault weapons. who in god's name needs a weapon that can hold 100 rounds, or 40 rounds, or 20 rounds. it's just wrong and i'm not going to give up until it's done. do you have a question you want to offer? not a question. recognize someone, mr. prime minister? [speaking japanese] >> translator: thank you very much. -- the china policy was one of the central agenda items, both
2:28 pm
governments consider that peace and stability of taiwan is of great importance and that was the agreement between two countries. what kind of extent was discussed on this matter? in order to secure contingency on the streets, what can japan do when actually contingency occurs in the taiwan straits? the prime minister explained to president biden what japan can do under such circumstances, and also, were there discussions on the autonomous region, human rights issue. great concern is shared by the two countries but japan is the only country that has not imposed sanctions on china. were you able to gain president biden's understanding toward such position? as we engaged in exchange of views over the regional
2:29 pm
situation we also discussed the circumstances in the uighur autonomous region as well. i refrain from mentioning details as it pertains to diplomatic -- but there there is already an agreed recognition of the importance of peace and stability of the taiwan straits between japan and the united states, which was reaffirmed on that occasion. i've also explained to japan's initiative regarding the situation in the uighur autonomous region to the president, who i think understood my point. >> president biden: next question goes to trevor, reuters. >> reporter: thank you. mr. president, it's been a while
2:30 pm
since we've heard an update from you on how the talks are going with iran. how are they going and he regard the decision to enrich to 60% as a step backwards, as a sign that they are serious about those negotiations? and for the prime minister, just a question on whether it's irresponsible to move forward with the olympics when you have public health experts telling you that japan is not ready to do so? thank you. >> president biden: let me respond to the aranda question. we do not support and do not think it is at all helpful that a ran thinks it is going to move to enrich to 60%. it is contrary to the agreement. we are nonetheless pleased that iran has continued to agree to engage in discussions, and direct discussions with us and our partners on how we move forward and what is needed to
2:31 pm
allow us to move back into the g.o.p. ca so that we are part of it again that we should have never gotten out of, in my view, without us making concessions that we are just not willing to make, and so discussions are underway. i think it is premature to make a judgment as to what the outcome will be but we are still talking. >> translator: if i may invite -- yes, i have a question to prime minister suga regarding the tokyo olympics for the summer. you have gotten support from president biden. did the president mention about the concrete promised to send american athletes or any positive comments, if you can tell us about the exchanges and the conversations?
2:32 pm
was there a meeting about the covid-19 vaccine or about climate change? you have discussed these aspects, about the schedule of providing the vaccines, or by 2030, the reduction target of the gases, and the targets or actions were discussed? as was mentioned at the beginning, i expressed the tokyo olympics games, the symbol of global unity this summer. president biden once again expressed his support. continue to be careful for the preparation in order to realize that the tokyo games this summer, so we also affirmed that
2:33 pm
the u.s. and japan will continue our cooperation. regarding the climate change, this is a matter, both president biden and i emphasized, so during the talk today, we have confirmed collaboration to affirm the partnership, which is extremely significant and meaningful. >> president biden: thank you all very much. i look forward to having you back. thank you, everyone. >> jesse: that was joe biden in his first in person meeting with another head of state. japanese prime minister suga. talk about strengthening the democratic alliances between the
2:34 pm
two countries, against common threats, north korea and china, keeping these shipping lanes open, free from chinese interference in the south china and east china sea. they talked about covid and climate change and cooperation in the commercial realm and joe biden congratulated the japanese prime minister for one of his citizens who just won back the masters weekend. that was a very big deal. got a question on why isn't he moving faster on gun control and police reform? seem to kind of get under his skin a little bit there, martha. said the senate does what the senate does and i have nothing to do with it. what did you think about that? >> martha: he definitely got fired up, nobody has done more than i have on gun control, he said. he said every single day there is a mass shooting in america. there will be time to go back and look at those numbers. if you go back and look at what
2:35 pm
happens in the nation's cities, so he had a very strong emotional response to that. he talked about clips, he talked about everything he has done. there's a counter argument to that, that when you look at some of these individual situations that perhaps none of these things would make a difference but nonetheless, and we heard earlier from jen psaki today, her concerns about these shootings and the fact that she sees excessive force used by police across the country. in the president didn't get into that but again, you've got a very hot button question. i want to say one thing about the chicago tape, one thing that i think, it's very hard to watch that tape. i watched it from a number of different angles and the different officers who were there. one thing that is so clear when you watch it, it's not only the tragedy of the death of this boy, which is heartbreaking to
2:36 pm
watch, it also brings home to anybody who sees it how dangerous, how frightening the work is of these police officers, the situations they run into, you can hear them breathing and running. i think it is important to see both sides of the environment and how difficult and how stressful these environments are, on all sides. >> jesse: there is been 97 deaths in the line of duty already this year. two officers stabbed to death, 13 officers killed via vehicle. 15 killed by gunfire. four killed by assault. i think a lot of that is left unsaid. you heard the president also respond to the gun question, saying weapons with clips that hold 100 rounds, i'm not sure if any weapons like that have been used that i can remember in any mass shooting, your reaction to
2:37 pm
that? >> i have a 22 that holds 30 rounds but that's about it. tomorrow at this point, you have to look at the whole picture and that is true. law enforcement is dying in these engagements and if there's one thing that joe biden and all these activists, whether it is aoc, black lives matter, the directions they should be given is follow the direction of law enforcement! if you are pulled over, don't run! whether it was adam toledo, or daunte wright, or george floyd, the common theme as they are not following the directions of law enforcement and you have to look at the whole picture. why was he out it to in the morning, why did he have a gun, why was he part of a gang, where were his parents, where was social services and why haven't
2:38 pm
the teachers unions opened up school so he was in bed for school the next day? i guarantee you there more gangs with covid, teachers are going to shut them down and teachers are getting hurt. >> jesse: especially in chicago. geraldo, you can respond to that if you will. >> geraldo: i think sean makes excellent points and i love cops and i think cops have a very tough job and they risk everything every time they go to work. but i beg you to understand the anguish in the families of color who are watching the news on a nightly basis looking at their child and worrying when that child goes out that that child may never come back in fearing the cops, not the way so many in other neighborhoods, people look at the cops, what a relief, there's the police officer. that's not the case in many areas in this country and all
2:39 pm
the protests that you saw last summer. we have emphasized of the riots and the looting and condemned them appropriately, but that represents a real reflection of the anguish and rage about police violence that's out there. when you see this video and they parse it and then if you continue the video, i don't think we've shown it, and you see the 13-year-old kid with special needs and no father at home to answer sean's point, bleeding from his mouth as his life goes out -- if we, the most respected news organization in the nation, perhaps, don't recognize the anguish of the people watching the 13-year-old's life going out of his body, then we don't deserve the ratings. we don't deserve it. we have to be sensitive to the way they see life. >> judge jeanine: geraldo, the
2:40 pm
problem is that for whatever his problems were, and as the d.a. and the judge, that was not the issue before me, these police officers make a split-second decision, kill or be killed. he saw a gun and in less than a second he made a shot. afterwards, we found out that adam toledo had gunshot residue on his hand. that tells me that he was shooting and that was the call that was made a few seconds ago. what we have to understand is there is a war on the streets and if you care about the cops who go out on the street and live their lives, you have to give them the right to defend themselves when they are presented with a gun. plus one second they have to make a decision. the police officer only shot once and he ran and called for help and he immediately tried to help him but don't tell me in the middle of the night, three in the morning, shots are fired, a kid has got a gun, we are supposed to worry about whether
2:41 pm
he is psychologically impaired or 13 years old. he is a criminal! this is a war! this is not the time to feel sorry for anybody. stay off the streets, stay out of the gangs, put the guns down and you won't have this problem. >> jesse: all right, we've got to run and i would urge all americans to watch the full video because -- okay, martha, please. why don't you get the final word here. >> martha: there is nobody, geraldo, who doesn't feel the pain of the loss of that child. i think you are right, and i think judge jeanine is right. do you have to be able to understand both sides. he could very well be the one who didn't make it home that night. sean makes a great point as well, the message that needs to come to all of these people is
2:42 pm
that you should not resist arrest. no 11 of the outcome. also watch that police officer, he walked around in circles, he sits down, you know what is going through that mind. he is shocked and in pain from what has just happened. >> jesse: that moment where he goes and hovers over the 13-year-old boy, tries to find the bullet wound, calls and excruciatingly painful way for a medic to come and save this kid's life, you can see the pain and anguish on all sides of that situation and it's graphic to watch but it's important to see the reality of what's happening on both sides. more of "the five" up next. somey greatest challenge ever. but i've seen centuries of this. with a companion that powers a digital world, traded with a touch. the gold standard, so to speak ;) life... doesn't stop for diabetes.
