joining me is the mayor of chicago, rahm emanuel.o, rahm, when you're watching them, what do you think? >> thank god i'm mayor of the city of chicago. here's what i would say, fareed. i used to tell president clinton this. if we knew in the first year of the first term what we knew by the first year of the second term, we'd all be geniuses. nobody is really, ever, ever ready. the only thing that prepares you is the campaign. but you have a president that never held office and basically everybody in the white house but a few have never actually been there. you focused on me from president obama, i was senior adviser of president clinton. but you also had other members of ron clan, vice president's biden chief of staff was in the white house before. you had a number of people there that had the experience of the rhythm of a white house and knowing how to constantly weigh policy against politics against the public relations. and that's the kind of three-dimensional chess you have to do. i would just say they've made some choices that i

police accountability council which would have made sure the community had oversight control but rahm emanuel absolutely rejected his city council rejected and they replaced the former iteration of their pro with something called coppa and we know copa is still beholden to rahm just like this independent monitor will be beholden to wrong so there's still no real community at the table especially those most impacted in harmed by police violence they don't have a voice at this table so that's an issue in the in the other issue is the rahm puts over forty percent of the budget into the police department and then he hired over a thousand more officers and then he's going to be getting federal money to even bolster militarize the police even more so rock communities are decimated like north lawndale like englewood rosalynn on the south and west sides where we're dealing with into communal violence we're dealing with poverty and no investment no community re of revitalization of development he's putting more money into police will we feel as though is a paramilitary occupying force mensah continuou

black lives matter to rahm emanuel.ack lives do not matter to rahm emanuel and i'm going to encourage every tourist by the sound of my voice don't spend another dollar in chicago until rahm emanuel starts taking his epidemic seriously. right now he doesn't care charles. charles: lawrence to focus on guns and where they are coming from and cutting them off is admirable but it doesn't pull the trigger itself. >> there's a deeper issue at hand here. i asked -- respect my brother gianno but i think it's deeper when it comes to economic prosperity when you talk about our poor education system and you talk about kids that live in single-parent homes that don't have father figures. just by tackling guns isn't going to solve the problem. you have to change the culture and that's what i'm afraid of but when you start with a gun strategy it makes it seem like it's just a gun problem in chicago. it's not a cultural problem. it's a poverty issue in chicago and that leads to violent behavior and right now you are just taking the too

i am not a big fan of rahm emanuel, and your taxes are probably high and the crime rate is very bad. at the same time, chicago is a beautiful city and a lot of things work very well. there is just a difference between what these parties represent on an urban basis and nationally. host: for those who want to follow you on twitter, what are the ways to do that -- do so? guest: @mtomasky. harold, republican line, new jersey. caller: michael. long before donald trump, a lot of people good -- a lot of good people in middle america agreed with joe stein. what they were doing was nonsustainable. we did not want another clinton and certainly did not want another bush. there were both bad. hillary decided she was going to continue obama. obama was a total disaster for this country, for the world, everything. she said she would continue his policies. we do not want more than $20 trillion of debt, as the young man from chicago intelligently said, he seemed a very intelligent young man. if you are intelligent, which you are come give some ght to, let's say -- i don't like either the republican o

the mayor of chicago, the senior democrat rahm emanuel, when asked about this kind of thing on cnn saidcally she would not run in 2020? look, it's not my place to say anything categorically. have you talked to her about it, for instance? i haven't talked to her about 2020 because it's not even in the realm of contemplation. what is in the realm of contemplation right now is what she can do to help young people especially, but progressive groups be able to really effectively operate in opposition to trump, and then to win seats that will help us take back both the house of representatives at the federal level and state houses at the state level. michael moore, the very well—known american director, says one thing the democrats don't understand is that trump was a beloved tv star. he suggests oprah winfrey, chat show host. tom hanks, the famous actor. somebody that people love, is what he says. donald trump was the outsider, the anti—politician, he became president. what about michael moore's idea? i wouldn't rule out someone who doesn't have a career in politics running for president and
